Oh, there, there. Okay. And Dr. Gap is there. I see him.

00:30:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000078

Well, ang pangako natin kasi sa bawat kabataang Pilipino ay simple lang. May pagkakataon po sila na makapag-aral sa kolehyo at makapaghanda para sa magandang trabaho,

00:30:37Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000079

anuman ang estado nila sa buhay, at magkaroon sila ng chance ng magdagumpay at magkaroon ng mas magandang kinabukasan.

00:30:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000080

Today, we examine whether the 2027 budget can deliver on that promise.

00:30:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000081

And I was looking at the 2027 budget.

00:30:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000082

The 2027 budget, CHED has proposed a budget of 35.453 billion, down by 12.916 billion or 26.7% from its 2026 level.

00:31:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000083

The proposed obligation budget for our state universities and colleges is 141.090 billion, again lower by 2.979 billion or 2.1%.

00:31:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000084

than the current budget.

00:31:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000085

Parang hindi kagad maganda yung panimulang sinasabi ko sa nakikita kong mga numero.

00:31:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000086

Ngunit nais po nating tiyakin na, bagamat ganito ang budget sa susunod na taon ay tunay nga pong magpapataas ng kalidad ng edukasyon at magpapalawak.

00:31:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000087

Ang access ito sa ating mga kabataan.

00:31:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000088

The allocation for universal access to quality tertiary education again falls down from 37.547 billion

00:31:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000089

to 27.790 billion, or a reduction of 9.757 billion.

00:32:05Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000090

Talagang importante ang edukasyon.

00:32:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000091

We must also prepare for the implementation, of course, of RA 12325,

00:32:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000092

Enhancing the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act,

00:32:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000093

which we, again, authored, sponsored, co-sponsored.

00:32:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000094

Only 12.6% of tertiary education subsidy grantees in the first semester of academic year 2025-2026

00:32:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000095

came from four-piece households.

00:32:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000096

The reform is intended to better direct tertiary education assistance toward disadvantaged learners.

00:32:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000097

There are positive movements naman.

00:32:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000098

We look at the Student Financial Assistance Programs.

00:32:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000099

It increased from 2.154 billion to 3.185 billion, or almost 48%,

00:33:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000100

with beneficiaries increasing from 42,128 to 49,243.

00:33:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000101

Now, the Medical Scholarship and Return Service Program,

00:33:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000102

which is also very close to this representation's heart,

00:33:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000103

increases to

00:33:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000104

1.232 billion.

00:33:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000109

But I was looking at the beneficiaries,

00:33:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000110

parang yung target ay mas mababa,

00:33:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000111

but we'll go to that later on.

00:33:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000117

We also cannot discuss the UP budget without discussing the Philippine General Hospital, and that's why Dr. Gap is here. Its hospital services program is proposed at 7.291 billion, lower by 805.457 million or 9.9%.

00:33:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000118

The budget retains 800 million for zero balance billing and provides 576.522 million for medicines under the medical assistance for indigent patients.

00:34:05Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000119

We need to know again if these amounts are sufficient to protect poor patients who depend on PGH and thank God, before I continue, let me acknowledge our Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance.

00:34:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000120

And I think...

00:34:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000121

He deserves a round of applause for all of us.

00:34:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000122

Considering what I have already stated, hindi rin po dapat maiwan ang ating mga manggagawa across our SUCs.

00:34:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000123

You're looking at 18,436 permanent positions remain unfilled while CHED has 1,097 job order and contract of service personnel.

00:34:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000124

Hindi naman po pwedeng lumawak ang serbisyong pang edukasyon habang nahiiwan po.

00:34:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000125

Ang mga manggagawang naghahatid nito.

00:34:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000126

Magtatapos ako kasi gusto kong masimulan na natin ang ating pagdinig.

00:35:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000127

Simple lang po ang ating sukatan sa dulo ng lahat ng ito.

00:35:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000128

Kung libre po ang kolehyo sa estudyante, dapat hindi po kapos ang paaralan.

00:35:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000129

Kung may scholarship or subsidy, dapat naman makarating ito sa higit na nangangailangan.

00:35:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000130

Ang budget po na ito ay tungkol sa pagbibigay ng pagkakataon sa kabataang Pilipino.

00:35:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000131

At makapagtapos ng kanyang pag-aaral.

00:35:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000132

At sa pagtiyak na may sapat na suporta ang mga institusyon at manggagawang tumutulong po sa kanila.

00:35:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000133

And so with that, we now proceed with the budget briefing of CHED and the SUCs.

00:35:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000134

Marami pong salamat muli sa inyong pagdalo.

00:35:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000135

Let me give the floor to our chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance who will help us.

00:35:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000136

Do our...

00:35:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000137

...job here so we can be more effective and more efficient in delivering services to our people.

00:35:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000138

Let me give the floor to our chairperson, Chairman J.V. Arcito.

00:36:01Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000139

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Magandang hapon po sa lahat to the CHED and the SUCs from different parts of the country.

00:36:11Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000140

Magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat.

00:36:14Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000141

Anyway, first of all, I'd like to thank all of you for coming over.

00:36:17Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000142

It's been a very hectic week.

00:36:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000143

Hectic day.

00:36:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000144

For us in the Senate, ongoing on-commissioned appointments.

00:36:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000145

I'm also chairing the budget of the Department of Public Works right now.

00:36:30Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000146

But we took a break so that I can join you for a while.

00:36:34Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000147

I'll try to join you. Hopefully, we can wrap up, Mr. Chair, earlier sa DPWH budget so that we can...

00:36:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000148

Ako din, I'm thinking of wrapping up earlier so I can join you with the DPWH.

00:36:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000149

Yes.

00:36:47Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000150

Because we know for a fact that we are both...

00:36:51Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000151

Advocates and we have been very supportive of our higher education, especially the SUCs.

00:36:58Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000152

Una sa, I'll just give, go to my opening statement.

00:37:01Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000153

Magandang hapon po sa ating mga kasamahan.

00:37:04Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000154

Siyempre sa ating pong chairman, sa Central Joel Villanueva, sa mga kinatawa na Commission Higher Education.

00:37:12Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000155

Siyempre sa kay, of course, kay Ma'am Shirley Agrupis, sa kanya pong mga kasamahan, commissioners.

00:37:19Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000156

At sa ating pong State Universities Colleges.

00:37:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000157

At sa lahat ng narinito.

00:37:23Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000158

At the outset of our budget deliberations for Fiscal Year 2027, I emphasize that our guiding principle is simple, back to basics.

00:37:32Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000159

Today, as you take up the proposed budgets of CHED and our SUCs, we carry that same principles with us.

00:37:39Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000160

We must focus on our resources and what our students need to enter college, stay in school, and graduate with the knowledge and skills to build a better future.

00:37:48Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000161

Para sa maraming pamilyang Pilipinas,

00:37:51Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000162

mayroon ang makapagtapos ng koleyo ang pangarap na pinagsisikapan at pinaglaanan ng malaking sakripisyo.

00:37:59Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000163

Nung mayroon pa ako nasanuan, isa sa mga pinagmamlaking proyekto hanggang sa ngayon ay ang pagkakatatag na isang campus ng Polytechnic University of the Philippines.

00:38:10Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000164

Having been able to establish an SUC for our small city was one of the biggest accomplishments that I'm still proud of.

00:38:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000165

Sa aming mga kababayan, pagka-hugout and high school, maraming mga poor but deserving, kaya lang tumatawid pa ng ibang siyudad para makapagpatuloy ng koleyo.

00:38:33Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000166

Kaya nga, binabuti natin na mag-establish ng SUC, isang state college, with the agreement with the PUP, and I'm very proud that right now our pioneer class, when I was there now, are holding exams.

00:38:51Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000167

So, I'm still proud of, probably when I wrap up my career later on, I'll still be very much proud of having been able to establish a state university in our own city.

00:39:07Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000168

Alam natin na para sa maraming pamilya, malaking bagay ang pagkakaroon ng abot-kayang koleyo na malapit sa tahanan, nababawasan ng gastos mga masahe at tirahan, at nagiging mas abot kamay ang pangarap na makakaroon.

00:39:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000169

At ang sakit po kasi, paniniwala ko po siya, Chair, if you have a graduate per family, that gives them a chance to up-dip the living conditions of their family.

00:39:31Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000170

Isang graduate sa bawat pamilya, pagkakataon na may ahon sa kahirapan at mabigyan ng magandang kalidad ng buhay ang kanilang pamilya.

00:39:40Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000171

To our public higher education institutions and student assistance programs, we have opened more opportunities for our young people, but our responsibility continues beyond enrollment.

00:39:51Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000172

Kailan nating tiyakin na may sapat na suporta ang ating mga estudyante hanggang sa kanilang pagtatapos.

00:39:58Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000173

We also want our higher education institutions to respond to the needs of our communities and our economy.

00:40:03Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000174

This means relevant curricula, meaningful research, strong industry linkages, and extension services that bring knowledge and practical solutions to the people.

00:40:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000175

Sa pagtatalakay natin sa mga panukalang budget, susuriin natin kung sapat ang pondo para sa mga pangunan.

00:40:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000176

At kung kaya ito magamit ng maayos at nasa oras, at kung malinaw ang mga resulta ang inaasa natin.

00:40:31Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000177

Every peso we allocate must help bring our students closer to getting to the finish line by graduating and finding better opportunities in life not just for themselves, but for their families.

00:40:43Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000178

Yan po ang layunin natin, isang higher education system na abot kaya, may kalidad, at tumutugod sa pangangailangan ng ating bansa.

00:40:50Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000179

Kaya lang po, Mr. Chair.

00:40:51Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000180

Ah, Senator Aquino is here also, one of our colleagues who is very much, very supportive of education, especially the higher education.

00:41:03Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000181

Because of our very, very, as Chairman of the Finance, siguro sabihin ko lang po sa inyo that we will try our best to give what we can give.

00:41:11Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000182

Kaya lang talagang very limited ho ang ating fiscal space this year.

00:41:16Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000183

Na talagang yung elbow room natin, napakaliit.

00:41:20Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000184

Because of our economic situation, alam nyo naman siguro yung nangyari nung isang taon.

00:41:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000185

That's why this early, I beg for your indulgence and understanding na kung hindi man natin maibigay yung mga wish po natin, kung kaya naman, dahan-dahanin po siguro natin.

00:41:38Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000186

Basta, nirecommend po ng ating Vice Chair, Senator Aquino, yung mga advocates dito, but kaya, pag kaya po, ay gagawan po natin ang paraan.

00:41:46Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000187

Ang problema lang, sinasabi ko na po sa inyo.

00:41:50Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000188

So, ang aming dilema sa ngayon, kung pwede lang mapagbigyan lahat ng SUCs, pagbibigyan natin.

00:41:56Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000189

Kaya lang, dahil sa nangyaring flood control scandal, apektado po ang buong ekonomiya na ating bansa.

00:42:04Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000190

Bumagsak po ang revenue natin, bumagsak ang koleksyon, bumagsak din ang GTP.

00:42:10Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000191

From 5% to 4% last year, now it's down to 2%.

00:42:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000192

So, kinakailangan din natin humabol.

00:42:17Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000193

So, hopefully, makabawi ngayon.

00:42:18Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000194

So, but we will see.

00:42:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000195

We will do our part.

00:42:22Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000196

Pag tutulungan namin ni Sen. Joel Villanueva, Senator Bam Aquino, kung ano po yung talagang kailangan para mapanatili natin maayos ang ating mga SUCs.

00:42:31Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000197

At siyempre, ang ating pong Commission on Higher Education.

00:42:34Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000198

Be rest assured that we will do our part to try and fill in the gaps.

00:42:41Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000199

Kaya lang, talagang hirap ngayon.

00:42:43Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000200

Pabigat, masikip, pero gagawan po natin ang paraan.

00:42:47Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000201

With that, I know.

00:42:48Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000202

Of course, yield the floor to our subcommittee chair to lead today's proceedings.

00:42:53Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000203

Maraming salamat po.

00:42:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman.

00:42:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000206

And before you leave, let me again state for the record, their proposal, Mr. Chairman, sa CHED,

00:43:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000207

ang proposal is 68 billion, ang in-approve is 35 billion.

00:43:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000208

Yung last year na GAA, Mr. Chairman, 48 billion, ngayon 35 billion.

00:43:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000209

So that's a

00:43:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000210

26.7% decrease, about 12.9 billion decrease.

00:43:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000211

So, gusto ko lang hong iparating sa inyo, Mr. Chairman.

00:43:27Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000225

And of course, Ma'am Shirley Agor, please, I'm happy that you are now, ano, at least, ano, I'm sure, mas happy kami.

00:44:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000226

Happier ka ngayon? Bakit ka happier sa PGH?

00:44:43Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000227

No comment na lang. Basta happy kami na nandiyan ho kayo. Maraming salamat po.

00:44:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000228

But let me also point out, yung PGH, bawas din ang 10%. 10% din binawas.

00:44:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000229

Anyway, let's give the floor to our distinguished colleague, Senator Bam, please.

00:44:58Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000230

Maraming salamat.

00:45:00Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000231

Magandang hapon po sa ating lahat. Good afternoon sa ating CHED family.

00:45:05Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000232

Magandang hapon po to our napakasipag po na Chairman of Finance, Senator JV Ejercito.

00:45:11Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000233

Magandang hapon. Si Senator JV po has been bi-locating.

00:45:15Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000234

Kung kaya niya po mag-teleport, nag-teleport na po siya sa dami ng mga hearings na ginagawa.

00:45:22Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000235

And of course, I'd like to acknowledge Senator Joel Villanueva who has been leading this committee for many years.

00:45:28Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000236

And again and again, lalabas at babalik. Pero nandito ho kami dahil mahalaga po sa amin ang higher education.

00:45:36Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000237

So magandang araw po muli. As we review the budget, we should all ask a very simple question.

00:45:43Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000238

Kapag nakapasok ang isang studyante sa kolehyo, may sapat na ba siyang suporta para makapagtapos?

00:45:51Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000239

Yun ho siguro ang isang tanong na kailangan ho nating harapin.

00:45:55Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000240

Sapat na ba ang nakukuha niyang suporta?

00:45:58Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000241

Sapat na ba ang nakukuha niyang suporta para makapagtapos?

00:46:00Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000242

Ibang issue pa po kung meron ba siyang trabaho pagka-graduate niya.

00:46:03Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000243

Dito muna tayo sa unang tanong.

00:46:06Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000244

Meron ba siyang sapat na suporta para makapagtapos?

00:46:10Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000245

Meron bang siguradong trabaho pagkatapos niya?

00:46:15Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000246

Alam po natin na napakalaking tulong ng libreng tuition.

00:46:19Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000247

Kaya po natin ito pinaglaban noong una nating termino.

00:46:22Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000248

Pero alam rin po natin na hindi doon nagtatapos ang gastos ng isang pamilya.

00:46:28Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000249

May pamasahe, pagkain, kagamitan at iba pang mga pangailangan sa pag-aaral.

00:46:34Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000250

Para sa ating nursing at allied health students,

00:46:37Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000251

meron pang dagdag na related learning experience na alam po natin napakabigat.

00:46:42Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000252

At mamaya po tatanungin ko rin kay Chair Shirley kung kailan po lalabas yung ating RLE support.

00:46:49Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000253

Na dapat po August 25 ba pong dapat lumabas.

00:46:52Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000254

Ito pong mga RLE ay mandatory.

00:46:54Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000255

Hindi po kayo pwedeng gumraduate sa nursing at allied health

00:46:57Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000256

kung hindi po kayo dumaan dito.

00:46:59Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000257

At kadalasan, tumataas rin po ang bayad ng RLE.

00:47:03Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000258

Umaabot po yan ng 20, 30, 40,000 pesos per year.

00:47:08Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000259

Hindi po dapat maging dahilan ang kakulangan sa pambayad

00:47:11Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000260

para hindi po makompleto ang kurso.

00:47:14Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000261

Noong nakaraang budget deliberation,

00:47:16Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000262

pinaglaban po natin ang pondo para sa libreng koleyo at tertiary education subsidy.

00:47:22Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000263

Ngayon pong pinag-uusapan ang 2027 budget,

00:47:25Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000264

sisiguraduhin po natin na sapat pa rin

00:47:27Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000265

ang pondo para sa libreng kolehiyo.

00:47:30Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000266

Habang dumarami ang mga estudyante at dumalawak ang saklaw ng batas,

00:47:34Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000267

hindi maaaring lumiit ang supportang direktang napupunta sa kanila.

00:47:39Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000268

Hindi dapat pabawasan ang pagkakatoon ng isang estudyante

00:47:41Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000269

ang makapasok at makapagtapos dahil lang kinapos ang budget.

00:47:46Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000270

Mr. Chairman, our previous chairperson, Senator Legarda,

00:47:50Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000271

actually ushered in the amendments to the Free College Act or RA 12325.

00:47:56Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000276

So, naiso nating malaman, itong mga bagong patakaran ba'y nai-implement na?

00:48:03Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000277

Ito ba'y nakakatulong sa pagpili ng mga estudyante

00:48:06Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000278

dapat makakuha ng narapat na tulong?

00:48:10Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000279

Kasama po sa mga amendments ang pagpasok ng RLE.

00:48:13Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000280

Hindi na po siya isang budget insertion or budget amendment.

00:48:16Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000281

Siya na po'y kasama na sa batas dahil po sa RA 12325.

00:48:21Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000282

12325 also clarified, sino yung mga batang dapat unang makakuha ng tulong

00:48:26Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000283

mula sa gobyerno.

00:48:27Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000284

And for the last budget, alam po natin that Chair Shirley and many here,

00:48:32Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000285

we agonized over the proper distribution of scholarships.

00:48:37Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000286

So, naiso nating malaman, with RA 12325 already passed and signed into law,

00:48:42Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000287

magkakasama po tayo nung pahirmahan po yan,

00:48:45Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000288

ito ba'y nilinaw na kung sinong estudyante ang dapat makakuha ng supporta,

00:48:50Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000289

saan lugar, anong klaseng institusyon, at paano ito aabot sa kanila.

00:48:55Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000290

So, nandito.

00:48:56Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000291

Nandito po tayo upang linawin ang bagong batas na RA 12325 while at the same time making sure

00:49:05Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000292

that our previous laws, the free college law, the UNIFAST law are all properly implemented.

00:49:12Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000293

Ang pinakahangarin po namin pagkatapos po ng budget hearing na ito ay malaman kung nasaan tayo

00:49:19Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000294

pagdating sa mga scholarships, pagdating sa mga subsidya, pagdating sa mga tulong sa mga estudyante,

00:49:25Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000295

and of course, later on, mapag-uusapan din ano yung tulong na kinakailangan ng CHED at ng SUC

00:49:30Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000296

na alam po natin ay parang nangalahati po sa kanilang request ang naibigay lang po sa kanila.

00:49:36Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000297

But alam naman po ito ni Chair Shirley, alam nyo po ito,

00:49:39Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000298

dito po sa Senado, marami pong sumusuporta sa CHED, sa mga SUC, kahit po sa mga LUC at mga pribadong institusyon,

00:49:47Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000299

we're here to support and to make sure ng bawat bata na makapasok, makapagtatapos,

00:49:52Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000300

at makakakuha ng tama at siguradong trabaho.

00:49:55Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000301

So yun lang po, Mr. Chairman, nagpapasalamat ako.

00:49:58Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000302

I know that you take the CHED budget very seriously, and we hope, dear colleagues, dear friends, we will be able to augment.

00:50:07Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000303

Inuunahan ko na, we hope to augment, we hope to increase, we hope to bolster, we hope to strengthen all of the budgets that go to you.

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000304

asr-000309

Kaya very insightful to hear his voice, especially.

We will, before we entertain questions, we will give the floor now for presentations of respective agencies.

I, and of course, our champion, in many ways, Senator Bam Aquino, chairperson ng Basic Education.

00:52:11Source

At sa ating mahal na chairperson ng Committee on Finance na wala na dito, I hope may nakakarinig.

Marami pong salamat.

In the interest of time, I want to start with the message of Senator JV

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000324

Ejercito kanina sa PUP.

00:52:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

Sabi niya, mas magandang mag-invest sa edukasyon dahil ito ay panghanap buhay and that education will be our strongest weapon as we face the challenges of life.

00:52:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000326

Dito po kami nang gagaling.

00:52:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000327

After a year-long recalibration of our policies in CHED and redirecting everything, we are now ready to go far.

00:52:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000328

This is our basis when we crafted.

00:52:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000329

Our proposal for 2027, sir chairperson, our proposal was 70.2 billion, including HEDF, was cut to almost 50%.

00:53:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000330

If we can move to the next slide, please.

00:53:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000331

In the next slide, we can see that while we remain thankful at the education sector of the 7 trillion allotted.

00:53:24Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000332

For 2027, 1 trillion was given to education sector, but unfortunately and painfully, CHED only receive about 3.43% of the allocation in the education sector.

00:53:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000333

Moving forward, I have to run fast.

00:53:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000334

Moving forward, if you see the history on the next slide, from 2024 to 2025, palagi pong mas maliit ang natatanggap ng CHED.

00:53:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000336

And we are very thankful that upon assumption, we were given a budget of 48 billion, which is higher than the proposal.

00:54:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000337

This is a speaks volume of the growing support of our government to education sector.

00:54:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000338

So, this 2027, we carefully computed what we need after recalibrating everything.

00:54:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000339

this is not an imagination but this is need-based and data-driven need so we requested 70.2 billion

00:54:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000340

we only get 35.4 billion pesos if you go to the next slide just to show you the salient feature

00:54:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000341

of our 2027 CHED NEP. Saan po na-allot ang 35.4 billion na ibinigay? MOOE is 34.7 billion, which

00:54:52Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000342

represents 98%. Personnel services is 609 million. Capital outlay is 100 million.

00:55:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000343

po yung capital outlay kasi nakakapag-deliver po naman kami pero sa mooe if you pay attention

00:55:08Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000344

to that, the 34.7

00:55:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000345

billion, 98% goes to scholarship. Inuulit ko po ang aking rant: ang CHED

00:55:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000346

is not a scholarship agency but it is a regulatory and uh regulatory and developmental agency for

00:55:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000347

higher education if we move forward uh what is missing from the 2027 ched nep next slide please

00:55:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000348

uh this is the

00:55:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000349

miss uh gap we proposed for 70.2 billion they

00:55:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000350

gave 35.4 billion the gap is 34.8 billion saan po dapat nakalaan ang 34.8 billion if we

00:55:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000351

move to the next slide in summary yung priority one na min i i i describe it as critical non-deferable

00:56:02Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000352

pops as a 34.2 and then the priority which is the strategic higher education investment is

00:56:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000353

Ang kulang is 1.2, kaya dyan po napupunta. Ang kulang is 34.8 billion. Next slide. So ito po makikita natin dito ngayon ang ating diferensya kung saan ang makakaltasan po.

00:56:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000354

Sa priority 1, which include the scholarship from undergraduate, that is the UUACTE, and scholarship for advanced training of faculty, ang hiningi namin sa proposed namin is 66 billion. 34 ang binigay. Ang kulang namin is 31 billion pesos.

00:56:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000355

Sa strategic priority 2, we ask for 4 billion. Ang binigay po is 1.2.

00:56:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000356

Ang kailangan pa namin is 2.8 billion. Ang subtotal po ng naales ay 34.8 billion. After consulting with the state university and colleges, matagal na pong naghihirap ang SUC.

00:57:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000357

Since the enactment of this RA 10931, marami pong SUC ang nagkocollectan ng tuition fee from 12 pesos to 50 to 100 to 150 pesos. Ang dami pong challenges ngayon.

00:57:24Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000358

Tapos hanapan sila ng quality education paano? That's a big question. Kaya nilalagay namin ngayon yung ating dream proposed leveling up of tuition fee which is 7.5 billion. But I will discuss for now yung para sa CHED po.

00:57:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000359

So considering the fiscal space of the budget in the government, kami po ay inadvisean ng Congress to have a realignment of budget.

00:57:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000360

With the DSWD and the DBM and CHED. Kasi po ang 34 billion, ang 31 billion sa priority 1 ay 98% ay para sa yuwakte.

00:58:08Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000361

For you to appreciate, kung hindi ibibigay yung 17 billion after the recalibration, ang madidisplaced na estudyante is 940,000 students. Clear po yun.

00:58:24Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000362

Sir, could you repeat that?

00:58:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000363

Yung sa nung NEP namin po, we requested for a 66 billion to cover yuwakte and scholarship grant ng ating faculty. Pero ibinigay is 34.2 billion. Ang difference is 31.9 billion. Ang yuwakte, ang pupunta doon is 29.2 billion.

00:58:50Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000364

So considering the fiscal space, ang advice po.

00:58:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000365

So ng Congress is to make an alignment between DSWD which is the source of our data for the projection of our free higher education and tertiary education subsidy.

00:59:08Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000366

So we sat down with DSWD, DBM and CHED. We compared notes. So naisacrifice yung aming projection based on data.

00:59:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000367

So in 2026 proposal based on the data of EDCOM 2.0.

00:59:24Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000368

na 30% lang ang pumapasok na 4Ps,

00:59:30Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000369

tinaasan namin ang proposal namin to 50% of the DSWD data

00:59:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000370

na ibinigay naman po ng gobyerno.

00:59:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000371

So dahil sa aming tursigidong pag-advocacy campaign,

00:59:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

Kaya po, tumaas.

Lahat ng buhay ko po

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000464

digital platforms.

01:02:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000465

Including the CHED-TANAU.

01:03:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

But we cannot sustain this if you do not

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000467

01:03:04Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000468

We will always go back to the basic.

01:03:06Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000469

So ang monitoring namin,

01:03:08Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000470

one of the mandate of CHED

01:03:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000475

And then in the student

01:03:20Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

01:03:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000487

In summary, kung

And then this is just a trend

01:06:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000576

of our graduates. You can see that

01:06:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000577

the graduation rate is increasing

01:06:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

from 2022 to 2025.

01:06:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

This is the student enrollment.

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000588

tremendous,

01:07:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000589

this is a continuous increase

01:07:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000590

of enrollment. Last year,

01:07:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000591

we have 5.6.

01:07:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000592

Now, this first semester,

01:07:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000594

Next slide.

01:07:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000595

Now, just to impress

01:07:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000596

that we have,

01:07:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000597

we are also monitoring the enrollment

01:07:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000598

by discipline group

01:07:24Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000599

in priority economic sector.

01:07:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000600

We can see that we need to exert

01:07:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000601

more effort on the lower down

01:07:30Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000602

01:07:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000604

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000605

and natural sciences.

01:07:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000606

So we really need to do more efforts

01:07:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000607

to strengthen

01:07:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

01:07:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000624

this is the pain point

01:08:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000625

in higher education.

01:08:20Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000626

We have the lowest number of

01:08:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000631

priority program of CHED

01:08:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

So, this is GOFAS here.

01:16:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000851

This is the HEC.

01:16:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000852

Unlike in the past, we have now a concrete program for HEDF.

01:16:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000853

Huwag nang hugutin dito sa HEDF ang kulang ng tuition fee ng SUCS.

01:16:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000854

Kasi po, makipaglalaban na po kami.

01:16:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000855

Hindi na namin hayaan na hugutin pa sa HEDF ang deficiency ng free higher education for 2026.

01:16:50Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000856

Next slide.

01:16:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000858

Lahat-lahat, meron na po.

01:17:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000859

Kaya kung meron mang deficiency, Senator Bam, Senator Joel, meron na namang deficiency ang PASOK, ang SUC.

01:17:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000860

Last year, nagbigay po kami ng 7.8 billion.

01:17:14Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000861

Pero sa deficiency 2025 onward, makikipag-away na po kami.

01:17:20Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000862

Hindi na po pwede.

01:17:21Source

Sa amin na po.

01:20:46Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000951

Nasa inyo na.

01:20:47Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000952

Okay.

01:20:48Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000953

So, at least for the SEC this year, if you remember last year, ito yung isang pinangako namin, no?

01:20:53Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000954

Na mababayaran kayo at at least nabayaran na kayo.

01:20:56Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000955

Okay.

01:20:57Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000956

So, may konti tayong cash.

01:20:58Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000957

Okay.

01:20:59Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000958

So, thank you.

01:21:00Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000959

Thank you for that.

01:21:01Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000960

Okay.

01:21:02Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000961

Pangalawa.

01:21:03Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000962

Last year, and you mentioned this, I think the term here is leveling up the tuition fee.

01:21:06Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000963

Pero pinag-uusapan natin, magkano ba talaga yung tuition fee na dapat binababa natin sa mga SUC?

01:21:13Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000964

And we all know this started with when 10931 was enacted, iba-iba yung tuition fee natin, no?

01:21:20Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000965

May napakamura at may mas mababa.

01:21:21Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000966

Okay.

01:21:22Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000967

At may mas mahal ng konti.

01:21:24Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000968

But the differences were 30 times, 40 times each other.

01:21:27Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000969

At habang yun yung na-carry, hindi naman tinaas after that, diba?

01:21:32Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000970

So, we want to rationalize, no?

01:21:34Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000971

So, ang ginamit na term ni Chairperson Shirley ay leveling up.

01:21:38Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000972

But kami ang gamit namin, rationalization, diba?

01:21:40Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000973

So, are we closer to the rationalization na mas magkakalapit na yung tuition fee na china-charge ng mga SUC?

01:21:51Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000974

Nang mga SUC at LUC sa 10931 or sa UAQTEA?

01:21:57Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000975

Chairman Shirley?

01:21:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000976

Yes, thank you very much, Senator Bam.

01:22:02Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000977

Yung leveling up was my term.

01:22:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000978

But as of last month, the SGB, which is the CHED Commission, before I came, ay natapos na po yung study ng composite fee.

01:22:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000979

Meron na po silang report.

01:22:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000980

But it is too expensive po na ang kailangan is in 76.

01:22:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000981

In a forest fund, they need 176 billion pesos.

01:22:45Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000982

Pero sa 2027,

01:22:49Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000983

Sorry.

01:22:51Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000984

76 billion.

01:22:52Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000985

Chair, can we do it per head?

01:22:54Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000986

Per head tayo para mas maintindihan namin, no?

01:22:56Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000987

Kasi pag siluman na natin, ang laki-laki ng kaperahan.

01:22:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000988

Sige po.

01:23:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000989

On a per head level.

01:23:01Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000990

Yeah, and because, you know, ang hirap po intindihin na, for example, if I'm not mistaken, PUP is 12 pesos per unit.

01:23:07Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000991

If I'm not mistaken.

01:23:08Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000992

If I'm not mistaken.

01:23:09Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000993

And then others, 500 pesos per unit.

01:23:11Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000994

Eh, paano nating i-expectin na parehong pagtuturo at pareho yung matututunan ng isang estudyante?

01:23:18Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000995

Yeah.

01:23:19Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-000996

Yes, ma'am, please.

01:23:20Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000997

Kaya po.

01:23:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000998

Yes, sir.

01:23:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-000999

We already computed several option.

01:23:24Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001000

Mahirap po talagang intindihin yung SGV.

01:23:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001001

And we are very...

01:23:29Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001002

Sorry.

01:23:31Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001003

Okay.

01:23:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001004

For student.

01:23:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001005

For the present tuition fee, based on...

01:23:37Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001006

Let's start with the cost of education per student.

01:23:42Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001007

Yes, per head.

01:23:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001008

Based on our current data now,

01:23:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001009

the expenses of the per capita...

01:23:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001010

The per capita is 5,500.

01:23:52Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001011

Okay.

01:23:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001012

Pero based on SGV, na nandun lahat yung cost ng personnel ay 31,844 per student.

01:24:03Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001013

Okay.

01:24:04Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001014

So, ito po, no?

01:24:05Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001015

Alam mo natin na may pondo yung SUC mula sa GAA.

01:24:12Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001016

Tama, Dr. Mira, no?

01:24:13Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001017

May pondo ka for the UAQTEA, di ba?

01:24:16Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001018

May pondo ka pa for TES.

01:24:18Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001019

Is that correct, Chair Shirley?

01:24:19Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001020

Tatlo yung pondo na yun, di ba?

01:24:21Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001021

May pondo ka.

01:24:22Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001022

But ang TES kasi direct to student yun.

01:24:24Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001023

So, technically, hindi yun pupunta sa mga eskwelahan.

01:24:26Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001024

So, we're talking about two funds.

01:24:28Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001025

Yung budget ng SUC at yung allocation nila from 10931.

01:24:34Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001026

Is that correct?

01:24:35Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001027

That's how the budget is structured.

01:24:36Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001028

Yes, po.

01:24:37Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001029

And last year, sabi natin, ba't pa tayo nagkakaroon ng dalawang classification?

01:24:45Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001030

Kung pareho rin lang naman yan, di ba?

01:24:47Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001031

Naging dalawa lang yan because when 10931 was enacted,

01:24:51Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001032

we needed, the schools needed to charge a certain amount to the fund.

01:24:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001033

Yes.

01:24:56Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001034

Kaya nagkaroon ng second bucket.

01:24:59Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001035

But actually, it's the same.

01:25:01Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001036

Kasi pag inad mo yan, dinivide mo sa number of students, yun yung gastos natin per capita.

01:25:06Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001037

Correct, no?

01:25:07Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001038

Is the logic correct?

01:25:08Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001039

On the record, please.

01:25:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001040

Yes, po.

01:25:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001041

That's the most logical.

01:25:12Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001042

So, moving forward.

01:25:13Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001043

And because of that,

01:25:14Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001044

and because of that chair, nagka-distortion eh.

01:25:17Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001045

Kasi yung posibleng noon, maliit yung budget ng SUC sa operations, pero malaki yung kanyang tuition or baliktad, no?

01:25:27Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001046

Mababa yung tuition, hindi, malaki yung tuition, mababa yung operations or vice versa.

01:25:35Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001047

So, to really move forward with better planning, at para rin mas fair tayo sa isa't isa, maganda kung nakikita natin,

01:25:43Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001048

on a per head level, on a, you know, we can have, we can base it on geography, we can base it on ano yung courses offered.

01:25:50Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001049

But maganda sana, meron tayong standards across all SUCs and areas.

01:25:57Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001050

Kung maga may rhyme or reason dito.

01:25:59Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001051

Kasi alam ko naman yung totoo na noon, may 12 pesos, may 500 pesos, tapos gumulo-gulo na siya down the line.

01:26:06Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001052

Maganda po siguro, if we can't do it this year, I hope before your term ends, before my term ends,

01:26:12Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001053

we get to a point na mas rationalized na yung gastos.

01:26:16Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001054

Hindi yung ibig sabihin ang rationalized ay bababa. Ibig lang sabihin may rational na, no?

01:26:21Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001055

Na mas malinaw na yung rason kung bakit ganito at ganyaan, no?

01:26:25Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001056

And we leave it to CHED to determine, oh this school, nasa ganitong kategory siya, therefore yung range niya ganito.

01:26:33Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001057

Yung itong ganitong school, nasa ganitong kategory siya, so yung range niya ganyan.

01:26:36Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001058

Maybe centers of excellence have a higher per capita. We leave it to you.

01:26:42Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001059

I would really suggest, Chair Shirley, na meron tayong analysis or perspective na per head, per school, alam natin dapat kung ano yung total cost natin.

01:26:54Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001060

At huwag tayong matakot sa mga numurong ito, no? Because this will help us in our planning also.

01:27:00Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001061

Chair Shirley?

01:27:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001062

Yeah, we commit to that.

01:27:03Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001063

Okay, we don't have that yet this year, di ba? Kasi the budget is still the same as previous years, no?

01:27:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001064

Yeah. Ang pakiusap ko lang po, if we go to, we have to really dig dive.

01:27:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001065

On the result of the SGV

01:27:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001066

Meron na pong SGV result that if you want to, it is part of the option of our proposal

01:27:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001067

Yung saan yung sinasabi niyong mga factors ay nagkasama sa equation.

01:27:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001068

Opo.

01:27:30Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001069

Nandun na po yun. Meron na pong amount, in fact, meron na. But we are hoping sana na... nasaan na yun?

01:27:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001070

yung si SGV?

01:27:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001071

Meron na po, meron na po... That's the... I understand. Okay.

01:27:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001072

Pero na po, that's the result of the SGV study.

01:27:46Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001073

But you haven't implemented that yet.

01:27:48Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001074

So firstly, you haven't accepted it yet.

01:27:50Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001075

Hindi nyo pa na-accept as a board, diba?

01:27:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001076

We accepted it already po.

01:27:56Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001077

Ang question lang po is, kaya ba ng gobyerno based on the limited space?

01:28:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001078

So ito po yung SGB, nandyan po.

01:28:05Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001079

Well, yung kaya't hindi is our problem.

01:28:09Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001080

Yung kaya't hindi is our problem.

01:28:11Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001081

But, for example, we're doing the budget of 2027.

01:28:16Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001082

Obviously, you're all operating.

01:28:18Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001083

So ibig sabihin, yung base case, it's working, diba?

01:28:23Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001084

Kasi buhay naman tayong lahat.

01:28:25Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001085

Pero we want to move to a place na mas magkakalapit yung mga presyo,

01:28:30Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001086

mas may rason kung bakit ganito yung mga presyo.

01:28:32Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001087

And what we can do, Mr. Chair, is we can ask Edcom, Ed, Carol, no?

01:28:38Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001088

We can maybe have a small meeting with Ched and Dino.

01:28:41Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001089

Even starting, as soon as this budget is passed, starting January,

01:28:46Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001090

simulan na natin yung proseso na mas malinaw at mas maayos na yung true cost of education, no?

01:28:52Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001091

If you're okay with that, Chair Shirley.

01:28:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001092

That is, in fact, nag-meeting na po kami ni Ed, Carol, kanina.

01:29:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001093

That is a way forward.

01:29:02Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001094

Pero hindi ko alam.

01:29:04Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001095

Titignan lang po natin kasi if there is a way na kahit konti lang i-implement

01:29:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001096

sa increase ng TBM,

01:29:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001097

tuition fee ng SUC,

01:29:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001098

nahuhuli po sila talaga.

01:29:14Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001099

Kasi if you see the data,

01:29:16Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001100

yung sa,

01:29:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001101

meron akong,

01:29:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001102

yung tawag kong leveling up,

01:29:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001103

yung rationalization nyo is more on a scientific na.

01:29:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001104

Meron na na.

01:29:24Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001105

So para po maibsan

01:29:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001106

ang,

01:29:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001107

ang,

01:29:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001108

ang,

01:29:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001109

ang sakit ng loob

01:29:30Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001110

ng mga SUC na hindi nakakahabol,

01:29:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001111

may nagkocollect ng 12 pesos per unit,

01:29:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001112

50 pesos per unit,

01:29:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001113

500 per unit,

01:29:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001114

ah, ah, 50 pesos, 75 per unit, 100,

01:29:45Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001115

to a limited number of SUC collecting 500 pesos per unit.

01:29:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001116

So, considering po yung limited fiscal space ngayon,

01:29:56Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001117

while we will do a more scientific basis of

01:30:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001118

of harmonizing tuition fee across the HCI para po makapag-angat sila ng konti.

01:30:09Source

May proposal kami, we call it leveling up.

01:30:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001120

Can you go to this one, yung 20% increase, yung next.

01:30:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001121

So ito po, nasaan yung number?

01:30:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001122

If we are going to follow this sa suks and luks, lahat-lahat ng school na nagko-collect ng tuition fee below P250 ay iaangat hanggang P250.

01:30:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001123

And then yung mga suks na nagko-collect ng P250 up, mabigyan lang sila ng 20%.

01:30:52Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001124

So kung ito ay masusundan, about 108 university will benefit because about 108 suks are charging tuition fee per unit below P250.

01:31:17Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001125

Ako, I'm very willing to support this, Chair Shirley.

01:31:20Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001126

But isn't the government...

01:31:22Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001127

5 billion? Paano siya naging 11 billion? Can you explain to me again?

01:31:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001128

Ah, yung kung sa suks po, so kung nabilang na po namin yung number of students across suks na naniningil ng tuition fee below P250.

01:31:40Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001129

No, I understand. Yung funding differential mo, yung total is 5.5 billion. Paano siya naging 11 billion sa dulo?

01:31:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001130

Ito po, per sem po kasi yan.

01:31:49Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001131

Ah, per sem.

01:31:50Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001132

Ah, po.

01:31:51Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001133

O nga pala. O nga pala.

01:31:52Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001134

Okay, sige. So we will have EDCOM try to understand this better. Ang mahalaga siguro is every year, patas tayo ng patas. Di tayo pababa ng pababa.

01:32:02Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001135

So we will seriously take a look at this. I think this is really important because ito yung... So iniiba natin muna yung test and we'll get to the test later.

01:32:13Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001136

Ito yung libring kulihiyo. Ito yung our ability to provide quality education. Ito yun. Tama ba, Chair?

01:32:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001137

Yes po.

01:32:19Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001138

Ito yun, diba? Okay, sige. So anyway...

01:32:22Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001139

We will of course go into further meetings from here but thank you for clarifying this. Would you say na this is probably something like kung priority, isa na to sa pinaka-priority, ano?

01:32:34Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001140

Isa siya sa pinaka-priority.

01:32:35Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001141

This is the priority. Kasi last year, ang priority, babayaran yung mga utang, diba?

01:32:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001142

Yes po.

01:32:39Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001143

Oo. So ito ngayon yung priority. And I agree. Okay, sige. Let me go to other questions.

01:32:45Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001144

So thank you for the Ched Tanaw. Malinaw yung Ched Tanaw.

01:32:49Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001145

Ang hindi ko nakita doon, and I'm sure wala naman yung doon.

01:32:52Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001146

Baka alam po ninyo. Ano yung ating acceptance rate now?

01:32:57Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001147

So accepted versus applicants. I know that some SUCs are at 20% or 25% or even lower.

01:33:10Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001148

Ano po ba ngayon yung average natin?

01:33:12Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001149

Hindi, can I ask? Para naman meron tayong interactive tayo today.

01:33:17Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001150

Taas po kamay mga SUC presidents. Taas po ang kamay.

01:33:21Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001163

I'm sure wala, diba?

01:33:46Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001164

Pwede pong tumayo, SUC 50% so applicants versus accepted ah?

01:33:52Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001165

Okay.

01:33:53Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001166

50%?

01:33:53Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001167

Meron po.

01:33:54Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001168

I want to ask the ma'am, yung mga SUC po, 50% meron po ba tumayo?

01:33:59Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001169

Wala? Okay.

01:34:00Source

asr-001171

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001176

Okay. Sino po dito yung 20%, 25% ang acceptance?

01:34:33Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001177

Karamihan? Marami rin. Okay.

01:34:37Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001178

Sino po dito less than 20% ang tinatanggap sa mga aplikante? Saan kayo sir?

01:34:44Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001179

01:34:52Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001180

Saan po?

01:34:54Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001181

Saan po?

01:34:58Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001185

Iloilo Science.

01:34:59Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001186

Okay.

01:35:00Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001187

So what's your acceptance rate sir? 19? Kayo po sa UP sir?

01:35:05Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-001188

Around 10%, UPCAT qualifiers.

01:35:09Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001189

And from the UPCAT qualifiers, how many do you accept?

01:35:13Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-001190

Yeah, we would take last year 153,000, we accepted around 10%, around 13%.

01:35:18Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001191

10%

01:35:19Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001192

Okay.

01:35:20Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001193

So ito po.

01:35:21Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001194

Let me clarify. Tama po yung nasabi ni President Jimenez. Ito po'y accepted versus qualified. Tama? Okay.

01:35:30Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001195

Doon po sa likod, sir. Saan po? Ah, WEBSU, of course. Ano pong acceptance rate po ninyo? 19? Okay.

01:35:39Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001196

Chair Shirley, so I think we're probably at 20% and below. Tama po, no?

01:35:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001197

Yeah.

01:35:45Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001198

Can we have a target? What's our target? Kasi our completion is 70%.

01:35:50Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001199

To be fair, 72%. That's the highest in the ASEAN by the way. Yung acceptance rate po natin, magandang maging target rin po natin yan moving forward.

01:35:59Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001200

Sa dami ng mga studyanteng nag-a-apply, ano yung target natin na matanggap? That's again, not your fault. It's our fault. Kasi budget po yan, no? Baka we can plan that way. Kung ang target natin 25, 30, 35, 40% moving forward or by 20, kunyari by 2030, dapat 35% na yan.

01:36:19Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001201

Makikita natin ano yung budget na kailangan natin moving forward, no? So, is that a target now of CHED yung acceptance rate, Chair Shirley?

01:36:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001202

Yes po. That's why we communicate closely with EDCOM, too. That we need to have a good equation, a harmonized equation, synergized equation like the faculty ratio.

01:36:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001203

Yes.

01:36:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001204

Absorptive capacity of this school. When we are talking about absorptive capacity, it is...

01:36:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001205

It is influenced by several factors, the availability of classrooms, the availability of faculty, teachers, and everything.

01:36:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001206

So, sa national number po of the 1.3 million applicants across SUCs, 500,000 lang ang natatanggap and 38%.

01:37:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001207

Kaya may mataas, may mababa ang acceptance because of the absorptive capacity.

01:37:16Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001208

Exactly. And absorptive capacity again goes back to budget.

01:37:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001209

Yes po.

01:37:19Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001210

Diba? So, maganda siguro po, Chair Shirley, we can work backwards eh, diba? Let's start with the goals.

01:37:30Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001211

May ano ba tayo? Ambition 2040 ba tayo? Kasama ba sa Ambition 2040 yung porsyento na acceptance rate sa ating mga eskwelahan?

01:37:37Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001212

Kasama ba? Wala no? Hindi ho na pag-usapan.

01:37:40Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001213

But maganda siguro ito, Chair Shirley, masama sa ating cluster.

01:37:44Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001214

In fact, we'll be passing the National Coordinating Cluster on Education next year.

01:37:51Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001215

Isa ito sa mga magandang mapag-uusapan. Ano yung goals natin sa acceptance? Ano yung goals natin sa per head cost of education?

01:38:01Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001216

Then we can move backwards. Kasi I think naintindihan po ng mga senador at mga kongresista na kailangan itaas ang budget ng edukasyon.

01:38:10Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001217

In fact, I'm very happy that we're at that point na yung usapan.

01:38:14Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001218

Huwag na tayong bumaba sa 4% of GDP. Parang tanggap na yun eh. Starting from last year. Last year lang natin ho naabot yan.

01:38:22Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001219

So, we're already there. Ang tanong, ano yung mga goals under that big goal of funding education at 4% of GDP?

01:38:30Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001220

Ano yung mga sub-goals dito? And I think if we identify acceptance rate, per head cost of education,

01:38:38Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001221

and lastly, Mr. Chairman, babanggitin ko rin, rationalization of courses.

01:38:44Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001222

Vis-a-vis sectoral and labor needs. Yun siguro yung mga magagandang gawin moving forward.

01:38:52Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001223

Again, it will not happen overnight. Pero kung yung proseso tuloy-tuloy, I think then we can expect a bigger jump in our budget.

01:39:03Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001224

Kasi malinaw yung goals natin. And EDCOM 2 po, as you know, kami po ni Chair Joel. Chair, we're the co-chairs of EDCOM 2.

01:39:11Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001225

And we can commit that we can undergo this planning process.

01:39:14Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001226

And eventually, pag ginagiging National Coordinating Council on Education na yan next year, it will have even more force that the first output of the NCCE,

01:39:23Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001227

tama ba term ko? The NCCE for Higher Ed, is to have all of these planning mechanisms.

01:39:29Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001228

At doon natin makikita gano ba kalaki yung gap na kailangan nating itawid.

01:39:33Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001229

Kasi ngayon po yung nangyayari, paunti-unti lang, incremental yung mga increases.

01:39:38Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001230

Imbis na major reforms yung tinutulak natin, maliliit na reforma, maliliit na pondo,

01:39:43Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001231

hindi po natin nakukuha yung reforma.

01:39:44Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001232

So, ito ang nais po natin. And while Sen. Joel and I are here, and EDCOM, and while you are here,

01:39:50Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001233

I'm sure we can work together on this.

01:39:52Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001234

So, panghuli lang, Mr. Chairperson, yung ano po, yung Libreng Kolehiyo, hindi naman ho bababa.

01:40:00Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001235

Ang dami ng scholars po natin, no? Tama po, Chair, no? Di naman ho siya bababa.

01:40:06Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001236

Hindi naman po.

01:40:07Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001237

Oo, pero nais natin siyang itaas pa. Correct. That's the gap, diba?

01:40:10Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001238

Yung TES, bababa po ba siya? O na-maintain?

01:40:14Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001239

O tataas? With the current NEP?

01:40:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001240

With the recalibrated request now, after reconciling our data,

01:40:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001241

baka po hindi na natin makuha yung significant increase from 2025 to 2026.

01:40:31Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001242

Yes, yes.

01:40:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001243

2026 to 2027 may increase a little bit, but we expect.

01:40:38Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001244

Well, to be fair, as you know, I campaigned on this also.

01:40:42Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001245

Sabi ko rin, eh.

01:40:43Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001246

In the previous season,

01:40:44Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001247

in the previous years, in the previous Chair of CHED, bababa, no?

01:40:49Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001248

Chair Joel, no? Bababa yung scholarships.

01:40:51Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001249

And when you came on board and this Congress, we all made an effort to make sure na pataas to.

01:40:56Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001250

Kaya medyo malaki po yung jump last year.

01:40:59Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001251

So ngayon naman, mahalaga sa amin na hindi ito bababa.

01:41:02Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001252

But if I take it correctly, nais po natin makita, tuloy-tuloy yung pagtaas. Tama po?

01:41:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001253

Yes, Sen. And we are very happy na yung attrition rate,

01:41:14Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001254

na naging problema noon, we were able to reduce it.

01:41:18Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001255

Yes, yes.

01:41:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001256

For 2026 na.

01:41:20Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001257

Yes.

01:41:21Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001258

Chair, last na lang.

01:41:23Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001259

I'm sure you're already working with Sen. Joel's office,

01:41:25Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001260

but i-prioritize po natin yung mga...

01:41:28Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001261

I don't think we can make up 30 billion, Sen. Joel, to be very honest.

01:41:34Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001262

30 billion yung kulang hunin nyo.

01:41:35Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001263

But if we can prioritize ano yung mga laman po doon na pinaka-importante,

01:41:40Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001264

pinaka-mahalaga, pinaka-kailangan pondohan,

01:41:43Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001265

if you can communicate that with us,

01:41:44Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001266

we will do our best to increase those budgets to.

01:41:47Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001267

Salamat po. Thank you, everyone. And thank you, Chair Shirley.

01:41:50Source

Sorry, sorry. Nakalimutan ko yung main reason, yung main question ko.

Ma'am, yung RLE natin, ma'am. Alam ko may SARO na daw yun.

01:41:59Source

When are you releasing the RLE scholarships po?

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001272

Unang tanong sa ating director, kailan in...

So when are we releasing the subsidies?

01:42:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001277

Just like yung pag-speed up namin ng deficiency ng free higher education,

01:42:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001278

kahit kukunti yung aming personnel na ito ang pinakikiusap ko last year,

01:42:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001279

susubukan namin i-release before the end of the third quarter.

01:42:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

Sa Wednesday na po yun.

01:42:36Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001283

Hindi, ma'am. Can you give me a month? Just give me a month.

01:42:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001284

Kulang kasi ng tao, Sen.

01:42:40Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001285

October? Kaya po ba ito, October? Huwag naman hung December.

01:42:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001286

Bigil din yung October daw. Ito.

01:42:48Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001287

Ano po?

01:42:49Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001288

First week of October. Can we make a commitment on that?

01:42:52Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001289

That's two weeks, ha? That's about two weeks from now, ha?

01:42:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001290

Sige po. We received the...

01:42:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001291

We received the NCA. September 9, SARO. So we prepared already the documents.

01:43:06Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001292

Ito po, kailangan malaman nyo.

01:43:08Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001293

NCA is notice of cash allocation.

01:43:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001294

Yes po. Wala pa. Wala pa.

01:43:13Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001295

Cash available, ha?

01:43:14Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001296

Okay.

01:43:15Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001297

01:43:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001298

Yeah.

01:43:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001299

Senator, as the sponsor of this very good project, after na in-advocate namin, there were 60,424 applicants.

01:43:30Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001300

28,071 were qualified but we have only 19,000 slots.

01:43:36Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001301

That's still 19,000?

01:43:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001302

Yeah, 19,000.

01:43:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001303

Kaya po mahirap yung nag-prioritize.

01:43:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001304

But we have already the 19,000.

01:43:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001305

19,000 slot.

01:43:45Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001306

So identified na po. Hinihintay na lang talaga yung pera?

01:43:49Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

01:43:50Source

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-001308

Okay. So your commitment, Chair Shirley, on the record, first week of October, magsisimula na po tayo mag-release ng scholarship sa mga qualified. Tama po?

01:43:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001339

faculty and non-teaching staff.

01:45:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001340

We have on the

01:45:52Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001341

side the job order and contract

01:45:54Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001342

of service workers, including

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001343

part-time faculty, 55,000

01:45:58Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001344

of them.

01:45:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001345

And yearly, we have an average of

01:46:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001346

over 400,000 graduates

01:46:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001347

that contribute to the

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001349

next slide,

01:46:08Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001350

we have the proposed

01:46:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001351

budget for SUCs,

01:46:14Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001352

that is 134.561

01:46:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001353

billion.

01:46:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001354

Of this, 84.38

01:46:20Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001355

billion is for personal

01:46:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001356

services, mandatory, Mr. Chair,

01:46:24Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001357

43.84

01:46:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001358

billion for MOOE, and

01:46:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001359

only 6.358

01:46:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001360

billion for capital outlay.

01:46:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001361

This means that capital outlay

01:46:33Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001362

accounts for only 4.72

01:46:35Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001363

of the total proposed

01:46:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001364

SUC budget, leaving

01:46:39Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001365

a relatively fiscal space

01:46:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001366

for investment and expansion.

01:46:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001367

Now, at

01:46:45Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001368

the first glance, Mr. Chairman,

01:46:47Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001369

the MOOE

01:46:48Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001370

looks higher, but

01:46:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001371

if we will be looking at the granular

01:46:53Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001372

level, 58

01:46:55Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001373

of our SUCs

01:46:56Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001374

suffer decrease in our MOOE.

01:46:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001375

There are more than 50

01:47:02Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001376

who increase their MOOE. If you get

01:47:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001377

the net increase, we have

01:47:06Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001378

increase, but we have to look

01:47:08Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001379

into the other SUCs

01:47:09Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001380

who suffer decrease in MOOE.

01:47:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001381

In the next slide, we

01:47:14Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001382

have

01:47:14Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001383

the NEP by region.

01:47:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001384

Of the total budget,

01:47:20Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001385

the UP system takes the largest share

01:47:22Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001386

of 20%, receiving

01:47:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001387

26.618 billion,

01:47:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001388

followed by region 3.

01:47:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001389

Region 3, I must say, per second.

01:47:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001390

At 8%.

01:47:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001391

With 12 SUCs. Among the

01:47:34Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001392

regions, Mr. Chairman, I think this is your region.

01:47:36Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001393

We have to tell you that this is the

01:47:38Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001394

biggest region in terms of SUCs.

01:47:40Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001395

We have 12 SUCs

01:47:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001396

in region 3. So that's why it

01:47:43Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001397

got the second highest after

01:47:45Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001398

UP, but that's only 8%.

01:47:48Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001399

Region 6 and region

01:47:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001400

and the MSU system, it's received

01:47:51Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001401

about 7%. Well,

01:47:53Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001402

NCR, including UP, and

01:47:55Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001403

region 8 account for 6%

01:47:58Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001404

each. In the next,

01:47:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001405

next slide, let's have a comparison

01:48:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001406

of the National Expediture Program

01:48:03Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001407

by expense.

01:48:06Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001408

You can see in our

01:48:07Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001409

table that

01:48:08Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001410

PS, we had an increase of

01:48:11Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001411

7.42 billion. That's the highest

01:48:13Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001412

increase, 9.64. But that is

01:48:15Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001413

mandatory, Mr. Chairman. And

01:48:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001414

for MOOE, as I have mentioned,

01:48:20Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001415

that is 3.58%

01:48:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001416

increase. That is

01:48:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001417

in general. But I

01:48:25Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001418

was lamenting on the decrease of SUCs

01:48:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001419

in terms of their MOOE.

01:48:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001420

58 of us po.

01:48:32Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001421

For capital outlay, this is

01:48:34Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001422

appalling, Mr. Chair.

01:48:36Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001423

We have in our NEP

01:48:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001424

6.36

01:48:40Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001425

billion compared to

01:48:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001426

NEP last year of 9.56

01:48:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001427

billion. So we had a

01:48:45Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001428

decrease of 33.47%.

01:48:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001429

So

01:48:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001430

of the total, it looks

01:48:51Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001431

like there is an

01:48:53Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001432

increase, NEP to NEP.

01:48:55Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001433

NEP 2026 and NEP

01:48:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001434

2027.

01:48:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001435

In general, there is an increase of

01:49:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001436

4.45%. But there

01:49:03Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001437

was a very significant

01:49:05Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001438

decrease in our capital outlay.

01:49:08Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001439

That is a decrease of

01:49:09Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001440

one-third or 33.47%.

01:49:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001441

In the

01:49:13Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001442

next slide, we have

01:49:15Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001443

the comparison of our current

01:49:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001444

NEP of the 2027

01:49:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001445

versus GA.

01:49:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001446

The presentation

01:49:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001447

shows that 15.756

01:49:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001448

billion for

01:49:28Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001449

GA 2026,

01:49:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001450

and 6.358 billion

01:49:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001451

for NEP 2027.

01:49:35Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001452

This is

01:49:36Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001453

60% below

01:49:38Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001454

the 2026 GA level,

Mr. Chair.

01:49:42Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001456

Now, out of this,

01:49:45Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001457

there are, as we

01:49:47Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001458

lament, there was a

01:49:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001459

significant decrease in terms of capital

01:49:51Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001460

outlay. Comparing

01:49:53Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001461

the NEP 2027

01:49:55Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001462

to GA 2026,

01:49:56Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001463

we had a decrease or a cut

01:49:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001464

of

01:49:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001465

more than 50%. So, it went down

01:50:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001466

59.65%.

01:50:05Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001467

So, there are

01:50:07Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001468

12 of us who really

01:50:09Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001469

don't have any capital

01:50:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001470

outlay, whether equipment

01:50:13Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001471

or infrastructure. But

01:50:15Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001472

for SUCs without infrastructure,

01:50:18Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001473

we have

01:50:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001474

25 SUCs.

01:50:22Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001475

Now, that

01:50:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001476

is our very reason, Mr. Chair,

01:50:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001477

of coming here to appeal for

01:50:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001478

this decrease.

01:50:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001479

Especially for capital outlay.

01:50:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001480

In the next slide,

01:50:34Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001481

this is the comparison

01:50:36Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001482

of what SUCs proposed

01:50:38Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001483

through our RDC

01:50:40Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001484

versus what was

01:50:42Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001485

granted to us.

01:50:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001486

In summary, SUCs

01:50:46Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001487

through our RDCs proposed

01:50:47Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001488

312 billion pesos.

01:50:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001489

But we were given

01:50:51Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001490

134.561

01:50:54Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001491

billion pesos.

01:50:56Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001492

So, that is a very

01:50:58Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001493

big cut, Mr. Chair.

01:50:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001494

And, as you may

01:51:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001495

also see, of the cut,

01:51:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001496

we got the largest cut

01:51:06Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001497

in MOOE. Of the proposed

01:51:08Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001498

140.2 billion,

01:51:10Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001499

only 6.36 billion

01:51:11Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001500

was granted. So, that is

01:51:13Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001501

accounting to 4.53%.

01:51:16Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001502

So, only

01:51:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001503

4. or less than 5%

01:51:20Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001504

of our proposal, Mr. Chair,

01:51:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001505

was provided for

01:51:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001506

in the NEP. In the next slide,

01:51:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001507

we have

01:51:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001508

also noted this

01:51:30Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001509

decrease in research investment

01:51:32Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001510

in SUCs. Generally,

01:51:35Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001511

for 2027 SUCs,

01:51:38Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001512

SUC research

01:51:39Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001513

allocation of

01:51:40Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001514

2.596 billion,

01:51:43Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001515

there was a decrease

01:51:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001516

of 1.87% from

01:51:47Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001517

the current level of our NEP.

01:51:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001518

So, it can be noted that the

01:51:51Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001519

Philippines is not

01:51:52Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001520

doing very well in terms of

01:51:55Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001521

the gross expenditure

01:51:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001522

on research and

01:51:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001523

development. So, we only

01:52:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001524

have 0.32% of our

01:52:03Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001525

GDP compared to that of Malaysia

01:52:05Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001526

which is 1.44%

01:52:07Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001527

of their GDP in terms

01:52:09Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001528

of their research and development

01:52:10Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001529

spending and that of Singapore. So, our

01:52:13Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001530

appeal also, Mr. Chair,

01:52:15Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001531

is to have an increase

01:52:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001532

in terms of research allocation.

01:52:20Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001533

Next slide.

01:52:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001534

I think I'm on my 6 minutes

01:52:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001535

already, Mr. Chair.

01:52:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001536

You have enough time, sir.

01:52:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001537

Okay. Thank you po.

01:52:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001538

So, status of

01:52:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001539

FHE deficiency. I think this

01:52:33Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001540

was earlier presented by

01:52:35Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001541

Chair Shirley. Just

01:52:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001542

to report lang po, of our

01:52:39Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001543

agreement last year, we had

01:52:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001544

deficiency for 4 years

01:52:43Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001545

and just recently, it was reported

01:52:45Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001546

that we were paid of our

01:52:47Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001547

3 years

01:52:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001548

deficiency. So, we have

01:52:51Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001549

outstanding deficiency for 2025.

01:52:55Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001550

As we have

01:52:55Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001551

agreed last year, it is deficiency

01:52:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001552

running from

01:52:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001553

2022, 23, 24, 25.

01:53:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001554

For 2025 po, still,

01:53:03Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001555

there is a balance for the

01:53:05Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001556

per semester of school year

01:53:07Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001557

or academic year, 2025,

01:53:10Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001558

2026. Of the

01:53:11Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001559

12.3 billion commitment last

01:53:13Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001560

year, Mr. Chair,

01:53:16Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001561

we have, I think,

01:53:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001562

a balance of around 3 billion pa po.

01:53:20Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001563

So, around 9

01:53:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001564

point something billion pa po yung napaprocess

01:53:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001565

ng CHED. And we thank CHED

01:53:25Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001566

for that. And we will love

01:53:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001567

them more if they can process the

01:53:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001568

remaining balance.

01:53:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001569

They're talking about 2.42

01:53:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001570

billion remaining.

01:53:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001571

Is that correct?

01:53:36Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001571-split-2

Opo, opo.

01:53:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001572

From the 12 billion.

01:53:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001573

Thank you,

01:53:42Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001574

Mr. Chair, and the commitment

01:53:43Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001575

of CHED. But let me go on.

01:53:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001576

Just for the record, the

01:53:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001577

chairperson is nodding her head.

01:53:50Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001578

Yung 12,

01:53:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001579

if I may say, yung

01:53:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001580

12 billion kasi po,

01:53:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001581

yun yung allotted sa kanila.

01:53:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001582

9.7 billion.

01:53:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001583

So, sabi ko sa kanila, doon lang

01:54:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001584

sa loob ng 12 billion, pwedeng

01:54:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-001585

maghugod. Outside that, hindi na po.

01:54:05Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001586

12.3 po. 12.3 billion.

01:54:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001587

Sigurado pa. Yeah, I can see

01:54:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001588

the numbers here. Sige, go ahead.

01:54:11Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001589

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Next

01:54:13Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001590

slide.

01:54:15Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001591

Just to account the running

01:54:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001592

deficiency. For

01:54:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001593

2025, that

01:54:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001594

is what we are really

01:54:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001595

pushing for. We have

01:54:25Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001596

chargeable against

01:54:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001597

the current year's GAA.

01:54:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001598

2.4 billion. But still,

01:54:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001599

there is a remaining balance of

01:54:32Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001600

506,753,000.

01:54:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001601

So, that's 2.9 billion, all in all.

01:54:40Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001602

Now, by the time we speak,

01:54:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001603

Mr. Chair, we are very

01:54:43Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001604

sorry to know that

01:54:45Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001605

for 2026,

01:54:47Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001606

this year, we have an estimated

01:54:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001607

deficiency, or a running deficiency

01:54:51Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001608

of 2.048 billion.

01:54:54Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001609

And because

01:54:55Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001610

the NEP

01:54:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001611

has released in

01:54:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001612

2027, we have

01:55:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001613

already computed

01:55:02Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001614

the estimated

01:55:05Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001615

deficiency. There will be a

01:55:07Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001616

deficiency again of

01:55:08Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001617

2.7 billion.

01:55:11Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001618

So, that is,

01:55:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001619

I think, if you will ask

01:55:15Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001620

SUCs, that is our

01:55:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001621

priority. We are also

01:55:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001622

lamenting that if we really are

01:55:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001623

saying that education is our

01:55:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001624

priority, why in higher education

01:55:25Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001625

there is deficiency? And I think

01:55:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001626

something must be done.

01:55:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001627

Something must be corrected so

01:55:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001628

that there will be no deficiency

01:55:32Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001629

anymore year after year.

01:55:35Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001630

So, for this case, we have

01:55:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001631

I think around 5 billion

01:55:38Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001632

for 2026 and

01:55:40Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001633

2027.

01:55:42Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001634

What is also

01:55:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001635

Yes, Madam Chair.

01:55:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001636

I think, Mr. Chair,

01:55:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001637

my chair here is

01:55:53Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001638

asking, bakit meron na uling

01:55:54Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001639

running deficiency for 2027?

01:55:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

In the IRC,

01:55:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001641

IRR of

01:56:00Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001642

Republic Act 10931,

01:56:02Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001643

the budget must be allocated

01:56:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001644

depending on the

01:56:06Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001645

projected enrollment. Again,

01:56:08Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001646

that is the very cost of our

01:56:10Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001647

deficiency. The way

01:56:13Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001648

DBM is allocating

01:56:15Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001649

us amount

01:56:16Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001650

or allocation for FHE,

01:56:18Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001651

3, it's not in accordance

01:56:20Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001652

with our projected enrollment.

01:56:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001653

You may ask,

01:56:24Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001654

why? Let's say, for example,

01:56:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001655

in the current NEP,

01:56:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001656

there are 46 SUCs

01:56:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001657

whose allocation for FHE

01:56:33Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001658

for 2027 is simply

01:56:35Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001659

exactly the same or copied

01:56:36Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001660

that of the

01:56:38Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001661

FHE allocation for 2026.

01:56:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001662

So, for sure, there will be

01:56:43Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001663

deficiency at that

01:56:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001664

by the time we speak. So,

01:56:47Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001665

Mr. Chair, if your

01:56:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001666

honors would help us

01:56:51Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001667

get fund

01:56:53Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001668

for this deficiency

01:56:54Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001669

so that, as we always

01:56:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001670

say, we are

01:56:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001671

giving TES for students

01:57:00Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001672

so that they can be supported more

01:57:02Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001673

on their

01:57:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001674

transportation, boarding

01:57:06Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001675

house, maybe food allowances,

01:57:09Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001676

that they support our students individually

01:57:10Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001677

and we recognize that. But with

01:57:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001678

this deficiency, we are shortchanging

01:57:15Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001679

our students in terms of quality

01:57:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001680

of education when they

01:57:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001681

are already inside the university.

01:57:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001682

So, that is our

01:57:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001683

plea, Mr. Chair.

01:57:25Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001684

Next slide.

01:57:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001685

So, this is what we are

01:57:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001686

sharing a while ago.

01:57:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001687

There is still uneven growth

01:57:32Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001688

or in fiscal year 2027

01:57:35Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001689

FHE. Ito po yung sinasabi ko

01:57:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001690

kanina.

01:57:39Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001691

There are 46 SUCs

01:57:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001692

without increase

01:57:43Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001693

in FHE allocation

01:57:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001694

of

01:57:46Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001695

113 state universities.

01:57:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001696

So, for sure, itong

01:57:51Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001697

46 SUCs na ito, there will

01:57:53Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001698

be deficiency because

01:57:54Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001699

at least their enrollment

01:57:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001700

will increase in 2027.

01:57:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001701

Kahit pa 1% or 2%,

01:58:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001702

but whatever, there will be

01:58:03Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001703

deficiency.

01:58:07Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001704

In the next slide,

01:58:10Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001705

I was

01:58:11Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001706

sharing the

01:58:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001707

impact of

01:58:14Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001708

the deficiency of 2.9

01:58:16Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001709

billion.

01:58:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001710

I would like to

01:58:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001711

simply illustrate what will be

01:58:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001712

shortchanged, what our

01:58:25Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001713

students will be shortchanged of.

01:58:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001714

Let's say, for example, for a 2.9

01:58:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001715

billion deficiency, that is equivalent

01:58:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001716

to 16,000 computers,

01:58:33Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001717

400 classrooms will

01:58:35Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001718

not be constructed, 1,000

01:58:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001719

laboratory equipment or laboratory

01:58:39Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001720

units, 2,000 engineering

01:58:42Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001721

softwares, 50,000

01:58:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001722

books, 1,000

01:58:46Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001723

classroom, that is,

01:58:48Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001724

smart campus kits or

01:58:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001725

peripulance, and equivalent

01:58:52Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001726

to 2,000, at least,

01:58:54Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001727

research publication support,

01:58:56Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001728

and around 500

01:58:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001729

extension projects.

01:59:00Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001730

So, this is the impact, a simple

01:59:02Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001731

illustration of the impact of

01:59:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001732

2.97 billion deficiency.

01:59:07Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001733

Meaning to say, for 2025,

01:59:09Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001734

we have this deficiency, so

01:59:11Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001735

this is opportunities foregone already

01:59:13Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001736

for our students.

01:59:15Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001737

Opportunity lost for our students.

01:59:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001738

Yes, they received TES, but when they

01:59:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001739

reach the university, looking like

01:59:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001740

we are getting malnourished

01:59:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001741

because we don't have this

01:59:25Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001742

support for our institutions.

01:59:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001743

Thank you.

01:59:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001744

10931 guarantees

01:59:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001745

not only access,

01:59:33Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001746

but institutional

01:59:35Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001747

capacity, institutional

01:59:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001748

empowerment. And I think

01:59:39Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001749

if we will be avoiding

01:59:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001750

deficiency in our

01:59:43Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001751

SUCs, we will be guaranteed of

01:59:45Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001752

quality tertiary

01:59:47Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001753

education. In the next

01:59:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001754

slide, Mr. Chair, I think this is the question

01:59:51Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001755

of Senator Bam a while ago. This

01:59:53Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001756

is our illustration on the

01:59:55Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001757

computed acceptance

01:59:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001758

rate or admission rate.

01:59:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001759

Of the

01:59:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001760

1.3 million applied for admission, that's the demand, more than 500,000 or a little more than 500,000 was accepted.

02:00:07Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001761

So that is the 38.46% admission rate, Mr. Chair.

02:00:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001762

So the message from this number is unmistakable, Mr. Chair.

02:00:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001763

Demand for public higher education is already exceeding the capacity of our institutions to respond.

02:00:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001764

And I was very happy to listen to the conversation a while ago that to address this low admission rate, I think something must be done.

02:00:33Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001765

Deficiency must not be there because, you know, as in our illustration, 400 classrooms were not constructed because of the deficiency.

02:00:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001766

So that is, kung wala po sanang deficiency, baka na-expand ang ating capacity over the last four years.

02:00:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001767

Imagine the 12.3 billion, if that will be constructed.

02:00:53Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001768

If that will be concentrated for classroom, there will be more classroom and it will provide for a wider access.

02:00:58Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001769

So in the next slide, we are thankful that our students will get more support because of the expanded 10931.

02:01:09Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001770

We have now the 12325.

02:01:11Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001771

We acknowledge that the government continues to face competing demands for limited fiscal space, including social protection, health, basic education, and other essential services.

02:01:22Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001772

The challenge, however, is not to choose one vital public investment over the other, but to ensure that it receives adequate and sustainable funding commensurate with its mandate and the needs of its intended to address.

02:01:39Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001773

Now, Mr. Chair, what I am articulating is the expanded 10931. Republic Act 12325 provided expanded support for individual students.

02:01:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001774

But I think we must prioritize the deficiency before we allocate additional benefits.

02:01:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001775

Why not address?

02:01:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001776

Why are we allowing a deficiency in the allocation for free higher education?

02:02:05Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001777

In our app estimate, Mr. Chair, that is around 85% free.

02:02:09Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001778

We are not paid around 15%, while that is not the very tenet of 10931.

02:02:15Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001779

So I think what we plea, what we appeal, let us give full.

02:02:20Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001780

Funding to Republic Act 10931 so that our SUCs will no longer suffer these deficiencies.

02:02:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001781

This is, I may say, injustice to what we have promised them in terms of the full mandate of 10931.

02:02:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001782

Now, another plea, as earlier expressed, Mr. Chair, this is what we are really fighting for.

02:02:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001783

Section 54 of the Implementing Rules of Republic Act 10931 provides that the UniFAST Board must determine the composite fee.

02:02:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001784

Ito po yung tinalakay natin kanina with Senator Bam.

02:03:02Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001785

Now, or the normative composite fee.

02:03:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001786

Tapos na po si UniFAST.

02:03:07Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001787

At in fact, yung sinasabi kayo ng SGV, that is the firm contracted by UniFAST.

02:03:11Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001788

And based on the result, this is the formula considered.

02:03:15Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001789

There were series of consultation among SUCs in different clusters.

02:03:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001790

Indicators.

02:03:20Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001791

I think over the last year SGV proposed this normative formula.

02:03:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001792

The normative budget is computed as the standard salaries and wages plus the student based operating costs plus non-faculty personal costs plus repair and maintenance.

02:03:40Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001793

One beauty of this formula, this already includes miscellaneous fees, Mr. Chair.

02:03:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001794

It's not only cost of student tuition fee.

02:03:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001795

The initial result is around 1,212 pesos per unit.

02:03:55Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001796

And that is, I think, the per capita figure being asked by Senator Bam, that is 31,844 per student.

02:04:03Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001797

That on the average, opo, opo, opo, that includes already miscellaneous fees.

02:04:09Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001798

And I think if we can start with this, I think we must be serious in implementing this specific provisions of 10.931.

02:04:20Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001799

Now, because of the required finance or budget for this, PASUC also proposed alternative upgrade of our tuition fee.

02:04:34Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001800

As mentioned, as earlier articulated, there are SUCs collecting less than 100 peso, 50 peso, 12 peso.

02:04:42Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001801

This is our proposal for SUCs whose tuition fees are 100 pesos and below.

02:04:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001802

We propose.

02:04:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001803

100 or 200 peso increase per unit.

02:04:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001804

And for SUCs whose tuition fee is from 100 pesos to 300 pesos, we are proposing 150 pesos per unit increase.

02:05:10Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001805

There are, I think, there are 41 SUCs, Mr. Chair, among 113 collecting below 100 peso.

02:05:18Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001806

And there are one.

02:05:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001807

There are 70 SUCs collecting tuition fee from 101 to 300 peso per unit.

02:05:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001808

So for them, we propose an increase of 150 peso.

02:05:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001809

If you note, there is a calibration of increase because those who are collecting lesser must be increased higher.

02:05:36Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001810

So if this proposal will be taken, we will be requesting 13.37 billion pesos.

02:05:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001811

And for those SUCs collecting more than 300 to 500.

02:05:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001812

There must be a cap, no more than 500 peso.

02:05:53Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001813

Meaning, if you are collecting 400 peso already, you will be increased only of 100 peso.

02:05:58Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001814

So this is calibrated increase, Mr. Chair.

02:06:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001815

But if you are in that bracket, let's say, for example, you are collecting below 100 peso per unit, all of you will be increased by 200 peso per unit.

02:06:11Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001816

Now, I think this is more equitable in our view in PASUC.

02:06:16Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001817

But I think this is a little different from.

02:06:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001818

From what is presented by Ched a while ago.

02:06:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001819

But since there is difference in the presentation, what we really push for is the SGV formula.

02:06:28Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001820

We can agree.

02:06:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001821

We can agree on the trans.

02:06:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001822

So medyo, this is just an alternative proposal.

02:06:36Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001823

We agree with Ched that if we can talk with DBM and of course, Ched and SUCs, let's agree.

02:06:43Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001824

But let's make it more scientific, more evidence-based.

02:06:47Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001825

Kasi itong amin pong ito, actually.

02:06:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001826

This is just an assumption, a step gap, the one is just to make it equivalent or uniform, lahat 250.

02:06:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001827

Kung 250 ka na, ba't sumisingil ka ng 240, ang increase mo na lang 10 peso.

02:07:03Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001828

Ba't ang tanong, is that scientific?

02:07:05Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001829

So to avoid discussion on this, what we propose is the SGV formula, a calibrated SGV formula.

02:07:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001830

So that accounts to 13.37 billion, Mr. Chairman.

02:07:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001831

Next slide.

02:07:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001832

So I think, Mr. Chair, I would like to summarize our ask or our request, our plea.

02:07:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001833

The very reason why the 113 SUCs came here today, because of the following.

02:07:34Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001834

First is to settle the validated FHE deficiency for fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2026, estimated at around 5 billion pesos.

02:07:46Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001835

That is our very first priority.

02:07:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001836

Second is to provide additional appropriation for capital outlay, especially for 25 SUCs without infrastructure allocation in the 2027 NEP.

02:08:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001837

That is to expand our capacity and to increase, of course, the quality of our education in our SUCs.

02:08:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001838

Third, Mr. Chair, is to implement, seriously.

02:08:16Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001839

the

02:08:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001840

article or the section

02:08:20Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001841

54 of the implementing rules

02:08:22Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001842

of the IRR or the IRR

02:08:24Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001843

of the 10931, that is

02:08:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001844

to implement the normative cost

02:08:28Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001845

that is also our

02:08:30Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001846

request. And fourth is

02:08:32Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001847

the consistent use of projected

02:08:34Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001848

enrollment as a primary

02:08:36Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001849

basis for FHE. What do we mean, Mr. Chair,

02:08:38Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001850

by that request?

02:08:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001851

Consistent use

02:08:42Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001852

of the projected enrollment, that when

02:08:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001853

budget will be allocated, it must be

02:08:46Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001854

based on the projected enrollment.

02:08:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001855

Sana po, i-allow

02:08:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001856

ang SUC na mag-project

02:08:53Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001857

ng kanyang enrollment.

02:08:55Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001858

We do that always.

02:08:56Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001859

Every year, we are submitting to DBM

02:08:58Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001860

our projected enrollment.

02:09:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001861

But DBM seemingly

02:09:02Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001862

like having their own formula

02:09:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001863

in our last...

02:09:09Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001864

So that's what we

02:09:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001865

would like to reconcile with DBM. Use the

02:09:14Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001866

projected enrollment. They are always

02:09:16Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001867

saying, ours is baseless.

02:09:18Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001868

But we

02:09:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001869

don't agree. They are saying that

02:09:22Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001870

they are the ones projecting because what we

02:09:24Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001871

are saying, according to them,

02:09:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001872

is without basis.

02:09:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001873

Now, we

02:09:30Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001874

always base it again on

02:09:32Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001875

the number of faculty, the number

02:09:34Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001876

of classroom, even the number

02:09:36Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001877

of shifts of classes, and even

02:09:38Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001878

the modality, whether it is blended,

02:09:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001879

face-to-face, or online.

02:09:42Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001880

So that must also be factored.

02:09:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001881

Let's not only count the physical

02:09:46Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001882

seats. Let's also count

02:09:48Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001883

even the digital seats. It must

02:09:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001884

be included in the

02:09:52Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001885

absorptive

02:09:54Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001886

capacity.

02:09:56Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001887

And, Mr. Chair,

02:09:58Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001888

I hope that you also support

02:10:00Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001889

SUCs in strengthening funding

02:10:02Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001890

for research and innovation.

02:10:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001891

And finally, to provide SUCs with

02:10:06Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001892

adequate resources to perform

02:10:08Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001893

the respective mandates, not simply

02:10:10Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001894

to keep operating, but to educate,

02:10:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001895

innovate, serve the communities,

02:10:14Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001896

and contribute to national development.

02:10:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001897

Mr. Chair, I think

02:10:18Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001898

I still have one minute.

02:10:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001899

This is...

02:10:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001900

Actually, they have

02:10:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001901

been pressing the plus 30

02:10:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001902

for like 60 times already.

02:10:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001903

I wonder who that is.

02:10:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001904

And we will

02:10:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001905

file a resolution to investigate

02:10:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001906

in the Senate.

02:10:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001907

Please continue, President.

02:10:38Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001908

This is what we earnestly pray

02:10:40Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001909

for, Mr. Chair, this slide,

02:10:42Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001910

this summary of our ask.

02:10:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001911

And I hope the good Chair,

02:10:46Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001912

and I am very happy to present this

02:10:48Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001913

always to our CST Chair,

02:10:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001914

because we know that if we will

02:10:52Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001915

not be able to provide these to our

02:10:54Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001916

SUCs, this is actually

02:10:56Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001917

a reduction

02:10:58Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001918

of quality of education.

02:11:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001919

Nagkakaroon ako kasi

02:11:02Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001920

ng notion. Diba, meron tayong sinasabi

02:11:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001921

na sa ngayon, pinakamalaki

02:11:06Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001922

ang budget sa education in history.

02:11:08Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001923

I think, what percent? Around

02:11:10Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001924

4% of our GDP.

02:11:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001925

5%. So, more or less,

02:11:14Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001926

what I'm saying is, in this country,

02:11:16Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001927

when we say education, it's the

02:11:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001928

but

02:11:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001929

are we allowing that there is

02:11:22Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001930

deficiency? There is increase

02:11:24Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001931

in budget education, but why

02:11:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001932

there is deficiency in the pre-higher

02:11:28Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001933

education? So, I think the

02:11:30Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001934

higher education is always

02:11:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001935

short-changed, though there is an increase in budget.

02:11:34Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001936

So, I think our students

02:11:36Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001937

in the SUCs don't deserve

02:11:38Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001938

this decrease in

02:11:40Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001939

funding for the pre-higher

02:11:42Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001940

education. It's totally not

02:11:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001941

free.

02:11:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001942

And I hope that

02:11:46Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001943

the good chair will help

02:11:48Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001944

SUCs in this respect. And of course,

02:11:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001945

our second wish is the immediate

02:11:52Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001946

implementation of the

02:11:54Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001947

implementation of the

02:11:56Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-001948

UniFAST-determined normative cost. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

02:11:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001949

Thank you. Thank you very much,

02:12:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001950

Dr. Tirso. Again, again,

02:12:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001951

we thank and

02:12:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001952

appreciate the presence of our

02:12:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001953

SUC presidents who are

02:12:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001954

all here today. Their

02:12:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001955

finance officers

02:12:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001956

paying us a visit.

02:12:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001957

Before we hear the presentation

02:12:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001958

of President Gigi,

02:12:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001959

just a very quick

02:12:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001960

manifestation.

02:12:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001961

One,

02:12:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001962

let me

02:12:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001963

point out my position here. I have

02:12:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001964

been very supportive with the SUCs

02:12:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001965

and CHED.

02:12:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001966

You look at my record since I was a member

02:12:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001967

of the House of Reps

02:12:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001968

up to being a

02:12:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001969

member of this institution

02:12:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001970

in the Senate. I remember

02:12:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001971

when I first chaired the

02:12:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001972

Committee on Higher and Technical

02:12:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001973

Education, we were able to

02:12:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001974

focus on the Research and Development

02:12:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001975

Program. Unfortunately, yung iba sa inyo,

02:12:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001976

hindi na nagamit yun. Nagkaroon ng

02:12:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001977

pandemia sa COVID.

02:12:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001978

Dito sa latest

02:12:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001979

law, I mean,

02:13:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001980

it's a law already, right?

02:13:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001981

We passed na kasama na dun talaga

02:13:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001982

yung Research and Development.

02:13:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001983

Of course, very

02:13:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001984

supportive tayo dun. Glaring

02:13:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001985

itong no capital

02:13:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001986

outlay for 12 SUCs.

02:13:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001987

Glaring for me yung

02:13:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001988

ISSP na digitalization

02:13:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001989

na not being funded, etc.

02:13:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001990

But let me just be

02:13:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001991

perfectly honest with all of you.

02:13:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001992

As much as I wanted to

02:13:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001993

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001994

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001995

27 billion sa CHED,

02:13:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001996

na hindi pa kasama nga yung ISSP

02:13:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001997

at sa personnel, etc.

02:13:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001998

You know, as much as I

02:13:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001999

wanted to help, please help me also

02:13:42Source

asr-002000

and this committee to look at the

02:13:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002001

work for funding also. Kasi hindi

02:13:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002002

ganun kadali na we wanted to

02:13:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002003

increase the funds

02:13:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002004

pero hindi natin alam saan kukunin.

02:13:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002005

Pagkagano, bibigyan ko kayo lahat ng

02:13:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002006

pala at maghanap tayo ng Yamashita

02:13:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002007

Treasure, tigitigisa ho tayong

02:13:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002008

pala. Mahirap po yun eh.

02:14:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002009

Yun lang, kailangan natin pag-aralan,

02:14:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002010

pagpagsamahan,

02:14:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002011

magtulong-tulong po tayo. It's

02:14:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002012

not as easy as, yes, I'm

02:14:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002013

okay with it and then we don't know where to

02:14:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002014

get the funds. And I'm happy that

02:14:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002015

Chair Shirley mentioned a while

02:14:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002016

ago na yung

02:14:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002017

DSWD and another

02:14:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002018

government agency, you were talking about

02:14:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002019

OWA, no?

02:14:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002020

Na pwedeng pagpagkuhanan

02:14:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002021

at pagtulungan natin.

02:14:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002022

Yung Optical

02:14:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002023

Media Board, dapat i-abolish

02:14:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002024

na natin yun para magamit din natin

02:14:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002025

yung pondong nilalaan doon.

02:14:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002026

Yung Commission on Filipino Overseas,

02:14:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002027

dapat abolish na rin yun.

02:14:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002028

May optimization law tayo

02:14:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002029

and I'm not scared to talk about it

02:14:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002030

kahit na magalit sa akin yung ilang

02:14:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002031

agencies of the government. Marami

02:14:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002032

ng agencies of the government na

02:14:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002033

pare-pareho na yung ginagawa at dapat

02:14:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002034

tanggalin na.

02:14:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002035

Those are the things that we wanted

02:14:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002036

to look into to

02:14:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002037

address these

02:14:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002038

challenges.

02:15:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002039

At the end of the day, despite the fact that I'm a believer and supportive of what you mentioned, Dr. Tirso, we still need to do a lot of balancing act.

02:15:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002040

Kasi hindi rin po pwede talaga na, I was looking at data na 400-500% increase as much as we wanted to accommodate everyone.

02:15:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002041

I've been in TESDA for quite a long time. I've been saying na hindi lahat kailangan magkulehyo, hindi lahat kailangan ganitong truck.

02:15:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002042

Of course, when you talk about the normative cost, napakahalaga ho.

02:15:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002043

God is my witness. I have been thinking about this for quite a long time. How do we really implement this?

02:15:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002044

The 12 pesos, 500 pesos discrepancy, ang hirap talagang lunukin.

02:15:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002045

Buti sana kung hindi ako chair ng higher and technical education, hindi ko na siguro masyadong poproblemahin.

02:15:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002046

But this is one of the things I wanted to accomplish as part of my personal legacy here in the Senate.

02:16:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002047

And I have been coordinating with EDCOM too and talking about it.

02:16:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002048

Kasi hindi naman pwede yung 12 pesos versus 500 pesos and you expect the same kind of education, quality education.

02:16:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002049

Hindi naman po pwede din sa geographic location. Hindi rin po pwede na pagpareuhin mo yung parehong may supply ng guru.

02:16:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002050

Ng teacher. Hindi rin po pwede mong pagparehuhin or pagsamahin na kulang yung laboratory equipment nung isang eskwelahat.

02:16:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002051

Lalong hindi mo pwede i-compare yung trade disciplines.

02:16:37Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002052

So talagang dapat mapag-aralan mo mabuti ito.

02:16:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002053

And I am with all of you. I agree with all of your statements a while ago. This is very important.

02:16:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002054

And we must do something radical about this.

02:16:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002055

And I believe we should be doing this.

02:16:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002056

At least for the next year's budget.

02:16:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002057

Baka hindi kasi natin mahabol ngayon.

02:16:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002058

Or yung ilan po pwede natin mahabol where we can start doing it.

02:17:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002059

We can do it right away.

02:17:05Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002060

Pero yung siguro ngayon pa lang.

02:17:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002061

For next year, lagyan natin.

02:17:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002062

For example, this coming GAA, lagyan natin ng provision yun.

02:17:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002063

Dr. Bert, di ba?

02:17:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002064

Lagyan natin ng provision na for next year dapat ganito na.

02:17:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002065

Ito na yung po pwede natin gawin.

02:17:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002066

Meron time point system.

02:17:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002067

That's what I'm looking at.

02:17:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002068

I don't want to mention.

02:17:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002069

My official position.

02:17:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002070

Because I'm always open to suggestions and ideas coming from our friends from SUCs, from CHED, and from EDCOM too, of course.

02:17:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002071

So, pag-aralan po natin mabuti yun.

02:17:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002072

And, siyempre, napakahalaga talaga na at the end of the day, masuportahan natin yung ating pang-SUCs.

02:17:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002073

So, we can move forward.

02:17:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002074

So, I can ask my questions.

02:17:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002075

Let's give the floor to our dear friend, Atty. Gigi Jimenez of UP.

02:17:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002076

Sir, you have the floor.

02:18:00Source

02:18:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

President Gigi, please.

02:18:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002083

You have the floor.

02:18:18Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002084

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

02:18:19Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002085

I'll try to stay within my 10 minutes.

02:18:20Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002086

So, just a brief on the charter.

02:18:21Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002087

So, just a brief on the charter.

02:18:22Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002088

So, just a brief on the charter of UP.

02:18:23Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002089

We are supposed to lead in academic standards, teaching, and faculty development and research.

02:18:29Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002090

We are supposed to serve as a graduate and research university, and we are supposed to

02:18:33Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002091

serve as a regional and global university for the entire country, and we are supposed

02:18:38Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002092

to promote leadership and responsible citizenship.

02:18:41Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002093

I'd just like to state the four major trusts.

02:18:43Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002094

First is the completion of ongoing infrastructure projects.

02:18:46Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002095

We don't want them to go to waste unless we finish them.

02:18:50Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002096

They will decay and be a waste.

02:18:52Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002097

And number two is

02:18:53Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002098

the enhancement of UP

02:18:54Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002099

Mindanao School of Medicine

02:18:55Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002100

and the development

02:18:56Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002103

of the Philippines.

02:18:59Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002104

This is a

02:18:59Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002105

new university.

02:19:01Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002106

And then the

02:19:02Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002107

strengthening of the UP Resilience Institute

02:19:04Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002108

which the entire nation is actually

02:19:06Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002109

demanding our services, and then the strengthening of our public service and community engagement

02:19:11Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002110

as a public service university.

02:19:13Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002111

Just to recap, we have 27 major campuses, by campuses I mean physical campuses.

02:19:18Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002112

They're distributed into nine actual constituencies.

02:19:20Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002113

The number of institutes is five, nine institutes.

02:19:21Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002114

That's five institutions.

02:19:22Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002115

University, the newest being

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002117

of UP Visayas.

02:19:28Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002118

And

02:19:29Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002119

we have 18

02:19:32Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002190

And we

02:21:49Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

have our request for additional

02:21:51Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002192

funding for the mentioned priority programs

02:21:53Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002193

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002196

10 years ago.

02:22:01Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002197

And we have just opened UP School of Medicine

02:22:03Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002198

in Mindanao to respond to the problem

02:22:05Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002199

of one doctor for every 40,000.

02:22:07Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002200

That's why there's trouble in Mindanao.

02:22:09Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002201

We have now entered there in terms of community.

02:22:11Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002204

Among other things.

02:22:19Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002205

So those are

02:22:19Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002206

the list of our additional ask.

02:22:21Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002207

Just to go straight to the heart of it.

02:22:24Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002208

This year, our

02:22:25Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002209

NEP

02:22:25Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002210

to NEP has increased actually

02:22:29Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002211

by 700 million compared

02:22:31Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002212

to last year's NEP

02:22:32Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002213

of

02:22:34Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002214

25.8.

02:22:37Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002215

Ours today is 26.5.

02:22:39Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002216

But this is lower by 3 billion

02:22:41Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002217

to our GAA. That is why we are

02:22:43Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002218

catching up as well just to maintain regular

02:22:45Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002219

operations with a request for

02:22:47Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002220

2.6 billion more.

02:22:49Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002221

In terms of priority

02:22:51Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002222

additional funding, our amount

02:22:54Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002223

of appropriations, if you will look

02:22:56Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002224

at it, over one third of our operation

02:23:00Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002225

is the Philippine General Hospital,

02:23:01Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002226

which services near 800,000 patients

02:23:05Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002227

already. As of last year, it may very

02:23:09Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002228

well cross the 800,000 mark by

02:23:12Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002229

this time. And it has performed

02:23:14Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002230

29,000 surgeries and around 3.5

02:23:19Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002231

million radiologic and lab

02:23:21Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002232

services.

02:23:23Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002233

3.5 million?

02:23:24Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002234

Yeah. It's quite a load

02:23:27Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002235

on the UP's budget as well.

02:23:31Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002236

So okay, this

02:23:32Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002237

budget for last year,

02:23:35Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002238

20.9 billion

02:23:37Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002239

is for academic units and 8.561

02:23:39Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002240

is

02:23:40Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002241

PGH for a total of 29. Just to be

02:23:43Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002242

able to understand perhaps

02:23:45Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002243

the notion that why we are getting

02:23:46Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002244

this budget. This is the PGH.

02:23:49Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002245

PGH plus 35 national research

02:23:51Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002246

institutes inserted and identified

02:23:54Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002247

as part of the UP budget. Okay,

02:23:57Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002248

budget utilization rate, there is

02:23:58Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002249

an increasing trend since 2021 from

02:24:02Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002250

82, 84, 83. Today, last year, it's

02:24:05Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002251

87% obligated. This year, it's

02:24:09Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002252

around 37%. As of June 30, this

02:24:13Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002253

year, it should have exceeded almost

02:24:16Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002254

70, probably 80 by this time as I speak today.

02:24:19Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002255

So major standee,

02:24:21Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002256

major accomplishment, we have

02:24:23Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002257

maintained 362

02:24:24Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002258

rank, 362nd

02:24:27Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002259

in a featured

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002260

1,500 top universities

02:24:31Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002261

around the world. But we are higher

02:24:33Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002262

in academic reputation. We're enjoying

02:24:35Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002263

a very high academic reputation of

02:24:37Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002264

220 yet

02:24:39Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002265

rank in terms all over

02:24:41Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002266

the world. This is

02:24:43Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002267

quite high, Mr. Chair.

02:24:45Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002268

For example, our

02:24:47Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002269

NOAA website, for example,

02:24:49Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002270

as a form of survey, 60% of

02:24:51Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002271

local government units subscribe to

02:24:53Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002272

our NOAA-developed

02:24:55Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002273

hazard maps and resulting

02:24:57Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002274

in saving so many lives for our people.

02:25:00Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002275

Just an example, during

02:25:01Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002276

Typhoon Carina in 2024,

02:25:03Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002277

4.3 million

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002279

were availed by our people affected

02:25:09Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002280

by the floods in just two days.

02:25:11Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002281

Today, the interactions between

02:25:13Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

02:25:15Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002283

36.5 million interactions already

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002288

model for scalable flood resilience

02:25:29Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002289

is a product of our research under

02:25:31Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002290

Project NOAA has been

02:25:33Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002291

it can predict

02:25:36Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002292

24 hours flooding and therefore

02:25:37Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002293

save lives. It has been awarded by

02:25:39Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002294

the World Food Program and the

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002298

And our

02:25:49Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002299

we have also opened new

02:25:51Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002300

programs for Climate Resilience

02:25:53Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002301

101. It's a micro-credentials. We have

who actually finish it. This goes how

02:26:03Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002306

popular is our micro-credential

02:26:04Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002307

on

02:26:06Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002308

climate change

02:26:09Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002309

and DRR or disaster risk mitigation

02:26:11Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002310

and we are responding to this demand

02:26:13Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002311

all over the country.

02:26:14Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002312

We have also developed a risk index for

02:26:17Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002313

climate displacement for Indonesia

02:26:19Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002314

and the Philippines with the

02:26:21Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002315

International Organization for Migration.

02:26:23Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002316

The risk index for climate

02:26:25Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002317

driven displacement

02:26:26Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002318

is now being applied

02:26:28Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002319

in our neighboring countries or near abroad

02:26:31Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002320

including Vanuatu and Fiji and

02:26:33Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002321

more Pacific Islands are

02:26:34Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002322

want to avail of it including some

02:26:36Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002323

countries in Africa. And so

02:26:38Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002324

many of our projects are getting

02:26:40Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002325

Central Asia are gaining

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002326

global demand

02:26:44Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002327

based on just research that we have conducted.

02:26:47Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002328

I will skip to the others.

02:26:49Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002329

The Lingap Scholar. Our Lingap

02:26:51Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002330

Scholar project has been among

02:26:53Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002331

the most responsible

02:26:54Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002332

for changing the demographics

02:26:57Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002333

of UP students today.

02:26:58Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002334

Hindi na po burgis ang UP as

02:27:00Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002335

people assume.

02:27:03Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002336

In the 2022

02:27:04Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002337

index, 55% of our

02:27:07Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002338

students come from private schools

02:27:08Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002339

and only 45% come from

02:27:11Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002340

public schools. With our Lingap

02:27:13Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002341

Scholar, we are asking a small amount for this

02:27:15Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002342

Mr. Chair. We have now

02:27:17Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002343

reversed the trend. 57%

02:27:19Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002344

of our students now come from public

02:27:20Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002345

schools and the biggest increase comes

02:27:23Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002346

from general public high schools, not

02:27:25Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002347

public science high schools.

02:27:27Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002348

There's an increase and

02:27:28Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002349

42.9%

02:27:30Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002350

is from private schools na lang.

02:27:33Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002351

Of our students today because of

02:27:35Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002352

this Lingap Scholar program, the

02:27:36Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002353

number of first generation students

02:27:38Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002354

we mean

02:27:41Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002355

students who come from

02:27:43Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002356

families where no

02:27:45Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002357

one has stepped foot in college in four

02:27:46Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002358

generations, the number of those

02:27:48Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002359

students enrolling in UP every year has increased

02:27:50Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002360

from 6% to 13%

02:27:53Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002361

now. And the number

02:27:55Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002362

of IP students

02:27:56Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002363

from indigenous tribes and communities

02:27:58Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002364

have also increased to 2% in the

02:28:00Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002365

University of the Philippines today. Those are large

02:28:03Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002366

figures, Your Honor.

02:28:05Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002367

Just by result of our

02:28:07Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002368

Lingap Scholar program.

02:28:10Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002369

The other

02:28:11Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002370

important developments is

02:28:16Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002371

the institution of the Master in Forensic

02:28:18Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002372

Medical Program. There are only two

02:28:20Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002373

experts in forensics

02:28:23Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002374

medicine in the country and they're both

02:28:24Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002375

in the University of the Philippines, College of

02:28:26Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002376

Medicine. And we're formally opening

02:28:28Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002377

this course as a Master's

02:28:31Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002378

in Forensic Medicine to offer it to

02:28:32Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002379

more people as a response, of course, to

02:28:34Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002380

our needs here and our

02:28:36Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002381

commitment to the UN Commission

02:28:38Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002382

on Human Rights. So

02:28:40Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002383

we have just opened that together with

02:28:42Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002384

Monash

02:28:44Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002385

University in Australia.

02:28:47Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002386

And

02:28:48Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002387

we have also expanded our campus in

02:28:51Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002388

Antique. It is an expansionary

02:28:53Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002389

mood because it is now already

02:28:55Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002390

the UP Visayas is now taking care

02:28:57Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002391

of the western seaboard of the Philippines.

02:29:01Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002392

And

02:29:01Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002393

also, in the Open University,

02:29:03Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002394

we have extended our programs already

02:29:05Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002395

into our

02:29:07Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002396

prisons. We are extending

02:29:09Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002397

online classes already inside

02:29:11Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002398

our jails and we have graduated only

02:29:13Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002399

the three branches. I was there for both

02:29:15Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002400

graduations, for all graduations.

02:29:18Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002401

And of course,

02:29:18Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002402

as I mentioned, the establishment of the

02:29:20Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002403

School of Medicine in Mindanao

02:29:21Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002404

and

02:29:23Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002405

of course,

02:29:27Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002406

the last I'll mention is

02:29:28Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002407

the

02:29:29Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002408

Philippine General Hospital

02:29:32Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002409

which accommodates almost 800,000

02:29:34Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002410

patients. It should exceed 800,000 by

02:29:36Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

That would be

02:29:59Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002420

Uh,

02:30:00Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002423

So I would like to just mention this all, Your Honor, so that we can, Mr. Chair, so that we can accommodate more questions. I think I have exhausted my time. Thank you very much.

02:30:10Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002424

Thank you. Thank you very much.

02:30:13Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002425

I'm sorry, I didn't see the sign.

02:30:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002426

You're the only presenter na may 15 seconds pa.

02:30:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002427

Hindi ko alam kung magiging plus funding kasi gusto kong imbisigahan kung yung 20% na sinasabi niyo sa UP, napupunta ba yun sa basketball team ng UP?

02:30:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002428

Yung UP. Kaya laging champion ng UP sa UAAP.

02:30:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002429

But kidding aside, thank you, President Gigi, and congratulations dun sa tatlong bagong chancellor natin sa UPLB sa Manila and UP Visayas.

02:30:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002430

Congratulations.

02:30:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002431

Sir, may ano lang ako kasi when you were presenting kanina, dun sa resilient initiatives ng UP dito sa project,

02:30:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002432

may we know if you're being consulted, for example, ang DPWH sa UP Urban Planning, naku-consult ho ba kayo?

02:31:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002433

Nung isang araw ho, kasama namin yung, I think we were discussing the budget of DOST and I raised an issue with Pag-asa.

02:31:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002434

And they were saying they can only, I don't want to...

02:31:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002435

I want to make sure that I have the right exact words that they told me about.

02:31:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002436

They can only predict, they can only forecast yung next three hours because there was a time na yung KAAP, yung KAAP po, ay nag-cancel ng flight two hours before the flight ng isang domestic flight going to Kawayan City

02:31:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002437

on Wednesday.

02:31:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002438

na yung mga kababayan ko sa Bulacan, bumiyahin ng alas dos, alas tres ng umaga, only to find out two hours before the flight na cancelled yung flight.

02:32:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002439

That's a Wednesday.

02:32:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002440

Thursday, bumiyahin ulit sila, the same day, the same flight, the same airline, and two hours again before the flight, sinabi, cancelled.

02:32:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002441

So, you know, I'm thinking of, well, I have filed a bill here in the Senate for consumerism.

02:32:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002442

So, you know, I have filed a bill here in the Senate for consumer protection, passenger protection bill, but I'm just curious kung kayo ba, nakakonsulto ba kayo ng mga government agencies natin?

02:32:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002443

Because I would trust your programs more than, you know, for quite a long time, to be honest.

02:32:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002444

Pag sinabi ng pag-asang malakas ang ulan, nakatirik yung araw.

02:32:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002445

So, hindi ko mind.

02:32:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002446

Pero, you know, ako personally, kasi binring up ko po ito sa floor, dito sa budget deliberation.

02:33:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002447

I mean, how many times or how many of our kababayans would undergo this kind of suffering, terrible suffering na bumiyahin ka alas dos, alas tres ng umaga, mag-stay ka sa airport ng tatlo, apat na oras, only to find out na na-cancel yung flight, and then the next day, you do the same thing.

02:33:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002448

Same exact thing.

02:33:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002449

So, I'm just wondering, sir, no, and I hope kung kinukonsult kayo, bakit ganun? Kung hindi kayo kinukonsult, bakit kaya hindi?

02:33:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002450

Anyway, sir, please, please.

02:33:37Source

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez

asr-002451

Mr. Chair, I brought with me three of the most in-demand professors of the university, Dr. Gap for Medicine, Dr. Del Mundo for Power, and the person, the demand of the hour, Mr. Disaster, Dr. Mahar Lagmay.

02:33:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002452

Please, Dr. Mahar Lagmay, of course.

02:33:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002453

I think all of us know you, sir.

02:33:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002454

Please.

02:33:56Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002455

Ang tawag po.

02:33:57Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002456

Sir, sa akin, lahar magmay.

02:34:02Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002457

Anyway, yes, sir, nakukonsult po kami. In fact, for DPWH, even before nabigay sa amin yung aming SARO, January pa lang ay kinukonsultan na po kami ng DPWH.

02:34:16Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002458

In fact, they have been giving us their designs for projects, thousands of them, na tinitignan namin kung okay o hindi.

02:34:25Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002459

And tinitignan namin kung worth it yung ini-invest ng peso ng LGU or ng national government doon sa project.

02:34:34Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002460

And this has happened only this year after there has been a lot of parang issues regarding the flood control.

02:34:46Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002461

Masama din po ang Congress and Senate na may mga pinatitignan din sa amin na yung mga design kukunin din namin from DPWH.

02:34:55Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002462

And then, tinitignan namin if it's worth it or not.

02:35:01Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002463

Meron pong systematic na way to filter out yung mga okay o hindi. Parang scientific, methodical yung approach. Walang bias. Basta tinitignan namin ito yung methodology kung papasa o hindi.

02:35:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002464

Sir, I know this is not the budget of DPWH. That's why I'm trying to get to another...

02:35:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002465

I'm hearing today and just before I ask you some questions, yung project NOAA for example, yung pag-asa, yung ka-app, are you being consulted?

02:35:37Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002466

Kasi parang binigay sa akin na 3 hours daw talaga. Parang hindi ko matanggap eh. 3 hours talaga just for the airports and airline companies before they can actually cancel flights.

02:35:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002467

Hindi ko lang talaga... I'm not a technical person.

02:35:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002468

Just to find out, yun po ba talaga? Hindi talaga mapipredict na...

02:36:03Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002469

Yung dati pong project NOAA, nakakapag-forecast po kami 4 hours in advance na 5 hours in advance.

02:36:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002470

Kasi nga kanina nakakita ko 24 hours.

02:36:12Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002471

Tapos meron kaming impact-based forecasting system na...

02:36:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002472

So, it adds salt to the wounds na ngayong araw pinaghintay ka, pinagbiyahi ka halos kalahating araw.

02:36:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002473

Next, di gagawin ulit sa'yo.

02:36:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002474

Parang saan yung katarungan doon? Parang lumusong pa ho sa bahayon.

02:36:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002475

And you know, God knows, and in this particular room, how many times I raised the issue of flood control.

02:36:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002476

How many times? Since 2020, the records will bail me out.

02:36:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002477

Even the Bulacan flood control program, since time immemorial,

02:36:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002478

inuupakan ko po yan, nandyan si President Chody ng Bulacan State University,

02:36:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002479

hanggang ngayon, hanggang ngayon, hindi nila malaman kung anong gagawin.

02:37:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002480

And I hope that you can help us with this program.

02:37:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002481

You know, in so many years, since I became a member of Congress, I asked for an integrated flood control program.

02:37:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002482

Wala po. And then, they were saying they needed a feasibility study.

02:37:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002483

And during that time,

02:37:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002484

they couldn't figure it out, what to do with it.

02:37:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002485

So, walang funding.

02:37:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002486

I was the one who funded the feasibility study.

02:37:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002487

The year after, I followed it up.

02:37:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002488

Sabi, hindi pa po tapos yung feasibility study.

02:37:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002489

It's gonna take another year or so.

02:37:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002490

So, two years, more than two years, I waited.

02:37:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002491

When the feasibility study came out after two years, I asked again, after two years, hindi ini-implement.

02:37:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002492

And then, few years later, I asked, why are you not implementing?

02:37:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002493

Hindi na daw.

02:37:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002494

Hindi na daw pwede yung feasibility study.

02:37:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002495

Hindi na daw pwede yung feasibility study na yun.

02:37:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002496

And then, came the flood control brouhaha.

02:38:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002497

And God knows, until now, some people thought I have a case on this.

02:38:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002498

Until now, wala ko akong case.

02:38:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002499

May complaints, et cetera.

02:38:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002500

Sinuturo na, kasama na ako ngayon.

02:38:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002501

And I'm not scared to talk about this.

02:38:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002502

And I'm always for justice.

02:38:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002503

Until now, gusto ko nga, e-firing squad lahat ng may kaso dito.

02:38:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002504

Talagang mapapatunayan.

02:38:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002505

Talagang partin itong scheme na ito, itong kalokohan na kabulastugan na ito na nangyari.

02:38:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002506

Dahil, number one, na-apektohan yung aming probinsya sa Bulanin.

02:38:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002507

And until now, sir, ayokot ang tawagin ng lahar magmay.

02:38:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002508

But, until now, problemado yung probinsya namin.

02:38:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002509

I feel bad.

02:38:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002510

And this is personal for me because one of the reasons why I ran for Senate.

02:38:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002511

And dahil matagal, for 20 plus years, wala kaming representative from Bulacan dito sa Senado.

02:39:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002512

Ay dyan, exactly for that.

02:39:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002513

For flood control programs.

02:39:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002514

And until now, wala po.

02:39:05Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002515

That's what I'm gonna do right now.

02:39:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002516

Kasi wala na naman yan.

02:39:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002517

Hindi na naman integrated dyan.

02:39:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002518

Pag nagawa yung sa isang barangay, sa kabilang barangay, lilipat.

02:39:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002519

Pag nagawa yung isang buong town, sa kabilang town, lilipat.

02:39:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002520

And then, if probably we'll be able to address the problem of flooding in Bulacan,

02:39:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002521

baka sa Pampanga lumipat o sa ibang...

02:39:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002522

So, you know, I know this is not the budget of DPWH.

02:39:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002523

Sir, siguro, I will just...

02:39:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002524

I don't wanna waste everyone's time here, but I will coordinate with you.

02:39:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002525

And hopefully po, ang pakiusap ko po,

02:39:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002526

ma-check niyo yung program ng flood control for Bulacan, please, especially.

02:39:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002527

It's very personal to me, sir.

02:39:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002528

Thank you. Please, please.

02:39:47Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002529

Yung tanong niyo po, sir, yung kung pwedeng mag-forecast, no?

02:39:50Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002530

It was in the presentation.

02:39:51Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002531

We have an impact-based forecast.

02:39:54Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002532

It's a testing system that has worked, no?

02:39:57Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002533

It has won the Innovation Award, awarded by USAID and the World Food Program.

02:40:02Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002534

It has been around since two years ago.

02:40:05Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002535

And it was able to predict, tino, hindi lang natin ginamit.

02:40:09Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002536

But since then...

02:40:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002537

Why can't we not using it, sir?

02:40:11Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002538

Sir, I don't know.

02:40:12Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002539

But DepEd used it, no?

02:40:15Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002540

DepEd used it nung dumating yung basyang.

02:40:18Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002541

You can ask DepEd na meron silang forecast warning one day in advance.

02:40:23Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002542

And they were able to prepare, minimal yung kanilang damages because they were able to respond.

02:40:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002543

Ka-up, sir? Are you being consulted?

02:40:32Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002544

Hindi, sir.

02:40:33Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002545

Hindi, sir.

02:40:34Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002546

Although we work with them kasi bibigay sila ng license sa amin for us to train ng mga pilots for drone LIDARs,

02:40:43Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002547

which we will use for flood mapping,

02:40:45Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002548

and which we will distribute to the SUCs para mag-capacitate and co-create knowledge for the flood model.

02:40:52Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002549

The flood model.

02:40:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002550

May ignorance on this particular topic dun sa...

02:40:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002551

I know this is not part of our discussion.

02:40:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002552

Pero yung pag-forecast ng allowing the airplanes to depart or to arrive from the airport,

02:41:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002553

hindi naman siguro three hours before lang.

02:41:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002554

Yun lang ba talaga yung most that we can do to cancel flights?

02:41:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002555

Just to cancel flights.

02:41:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002556

Kasi talagang laging, for example,

02:41:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002557

ang mga...

02:41:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002558

Pal, Cebu Park, et cetera,

02:41:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002559

ayaw mag-cancel ng flights yan.

02:41:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002560

Talagang hanggang, hanggat maaari,

02:41:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002561

i-risk lahat ng sasakay ng aeroplano.

02:41:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002562

Pero ang problema, yung mga tao na naghihintay,

02:41:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002563

hindi naman makatarungan.

02:41:38Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002564

Baka, sir, magandang may system, no?

02:41:41Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002565

Kasi as you get nearer to the time na kailangan naman mag-decide,

02:41:46Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002566

mas gumaganda lang gumaganda yung forecast.

02:41:49Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002567

So baka pwedeng may system na gawin.

02:41:52Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002568

But, of course,

02:41:53Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002569

ikaw ba araw pang gagawa?

02:41:54Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002570

We're the university.

02:41:56Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002571

So, ang official noon talagang pag-asa.

02:41:58Source

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay

asr-002572

Maybe we can make suggestions.

02:42:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002573

Thank you, sir.

02:42:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002574

Just to make sure na pwede.

02:42:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002575

Anyway, sa UPPGH, nandito din lang si Doc Gap.

02:42:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002576

I-take ko na yung opportunity na maitanong itong Hospital Services Program, Doc.

02:42:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002577

Yung proposed budget is 7.291 billion,

02:42:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002578

which is...

02:42:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002579

Di ko na makikita.

02:42:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002580

Doc Gap.

02:42:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002581

Malabo na rin matako.

02:42:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002582

805.457 million or 9.9% lower than its 2026 level.

02:42:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002583

Gusto ko lang mong malaman, Dok, yung PGH actual funding requirement to maintain its present level of hospital services,

02:42:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002584

particularly for indigent and financially vulnerable patients.

02:42:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002585

Malaki ba ang epekto nito? Ano bang mangyayari po sa atin dito?

Ito pong more than 800 million deficit from our 2026 GAA and the proposed budget for 2027 in the NEP will involve 602 million pesos for medical assistance to patients or mga medical supplies.

Tumaas po kasing tubig at kuryente so makukulang po ng 104 million.

asr-002588

Our monthly electricity now.

02:43:20Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002589

Mr. Chair is 22 million because of the increase in the actual rate and the increase in the number of equipment that PGH has to serve its patients.

02:43:31Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002590

And because these machines, this equipment require very sensitive maintenance and repairs, we will need additional 190 million to make them run efficiently for our patients.

02:43:44Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002591

So as far as patient services is concerned, this is a combination of these three areas.

02:43:50Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002592

If not properly funded, will really affect the way we serve our patients.

02:43:57Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002593

Of course, we're also asking for additional capital outlay to ensure that the goal to improve the accommodations of our patients and increase beds is also achieved.

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002614

Kanina, tinignan kong maigi yung utilization rate.

02:46:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

Kanina, tinignan kong maigi itong obligation rate.

02:46:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002616

2025, 86.5%.

02:46:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002617

2026, 44.9%.

02:46:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002618

Yung disbursement rate ng 2025, 63.7%.

02:46:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002619

Yung 2026, 21.181 billion in release allotments remained unobligated.

02:46:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002620

And 16.185 billion in appropriations remained unreleased.

02:46:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002621

Is that the correct figure?

02:46:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002622

Just to make sure that I have the same figures para alam po natin.

02:46:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

Because that's one thing, ma'am, for sure na some of our colleagues will ask.

02:46:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

If we are, with regards to budget performance and institutional capacity, siguro important na makapagbigay tayo ng ranking, showing legal basis natin, requested amount, unique beneficiaries, utilization, and implementation readiness natin, ma'am, para mabigyan n'yo kami ng ammunition para ma-present po namin ito sa aming mga kasamahan dito sa Senado before we can finalize our committee report.

Thank you very much, Chair.

02:47:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002630

For the comparative budget utilization from 2024 and 2025, I would like to highlight here that the 2025,

02:47:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002631

which we are terminating by 2026, these are continuing, these are continuing, to 2025 po, these are continuing to 2026, which should be fully liquidated at the end of 2026.

02:48:16Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002632

Tama po kayo na ang aming obligation is 97.9% na po.

02:48:24Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002633

Pero ang disbursement,

02:48:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002634

is only 83.7%.

02:48:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002635

Now, all papers are ready, but we are waiting for the September na po kasi dumating ang pera release.

02:48:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002636

So, for 2026, let me highlight first na para naman may konting plus point kami.

02:48:50Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002637

Ang DUR mid-year 2025.

02:48:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002638

That was before us, was 35%.

02:48:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002639

The same date as of June 30, 2026.

02:49:02Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002640

There is now as the same period, this 2026, there is an increase of 5.28%.

02:49:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002641

Okay.

02:49:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002642

If we go to the table now, to the actual consolidated status of budget utilization namin, as of June 30, 2026, our obligation is 40.20%.

02:49:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002643

This is because our funding operates on a school year basis.

02:49:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002644

And the first semester starts August 2026.

02:49:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002645

Comparing the obligation versus disbursement, only 51.18% of the 40% obligation, it is because of the cash availability.

02:49:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002646

Okay.

02:49:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002647

So, if we go to the table now, to the actual consolidated status of budget utilization, only 51.18% of the 40% obligation, it is because of the cash availability.

02:50:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002648

Ma'am, okay na okay po ako, hindi niyo okay lang ang pag-depensa niyan dahil naniniwala po.

Maraming salamat po at I'm just reviewing some of the items in the budget.

02:50:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002658

But I'll start with itong increase sa PGH, UP PGH last year, kay Doc Legaspi.

02:50:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002659

Last year, nagdagdag ang Senate ng 1.8 billion.

02:50:53Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002661

Yes.

02:50:55Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002662

And remember, you gave us a wish list, although hindi natin na-finance lahat.

02:51:01Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002663

But I just want to get an update dito sa 1.8 billion na augment ng Senado para sa PGH,

02:51:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002664

considering that mahalaga ang papel ng PGH because of research and also because of its hospital operations.

02:51:17Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002665

So itong 1.8 billion ay karagdagang pondo para sa drugs and medicine supplies, yung MOOE po na 1.04 billion.

02:51:27Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002667

At yung pong ating bagong mandato na zero balance billing na 800 million, at saka 15 million po for our project for a very unique Filipino disease called X-linked dystonia Parkinsonism, or Lubag of Panay.

02:51:47Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002668

Ayun po.

02:51:50Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002669

kakatanggap lang po namin ng pondo through the PISARO.

02:51:57Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002670

So we just received it I think a month ago.

02:52:00Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002671

But so far this morning of the 800 million po,

02:52:05Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002672

ang aming na-obligate ay almost 500 million, more than 500 million na po.

02:52:10Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002673

Ang na-obligate at na-liquidate for the 800 million zero balance billing.

02:52:17Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002674

Ganun po karami yung utang namin sa mga suppliers for the year that passed.

02:52:24Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002675

Yung 1 billion naman po, na-ano na po,

02:52:29Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002676

nabangga na po namin sa aming annual procurement plan.

02:52:34Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002677

And it should be obligating and disbursing soon, this 1 billion pesos po.

02:52:42Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002678

Itong in-augment natin primarily went to MOE.

02:52:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002679

And also zero balance billing.

02:52:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002680

Which is MOE rin yun?

02:52:53Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002681

Hindi po. So ang zero balance billing po ay to pay for services.

02:52:59Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002682

Ang MOE po kailangan namin i-bid.

02:53:01Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002683

Kunwari may gamot, bibili kami ng medication, ng drugs, chemicals, reagents,

02:53:07Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002684

or the other supplies needed for patients.

02:53:11Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002685

Yung zero balance billing po is paying for the service.

02:53:14Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002686

Kunwari po ay pinasiti-scan or MRI.

02:53:16Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002687

Or PET-CT scan.

02:53:18Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002688

Or may ginawa pong operasyon or procedure.

02:53:22Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002689

Yung service po na ito, ito yung babayaran ng zero balance billing.

02:53:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002690

Nasa MOE rin siya, diba? Yung zero balance billing?

02:53:30Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002691

Nandun rin po siya, pero may special po siyang kategorya.

02:53:33Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002692

Para hindi po siya kailangan i-bid out for drugs, medicines, and supplies.

02:53:39Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002693

And gusto ko lang malaman, Dok, itong zero balance billing is we want to...

02:53:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002694

...increase or at least maintain for 2027 for the entire DOH, lahat ng DOH hospitals, including yung mga specialty hospitals.

02:54:01Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002695

So in your case, sa PGH, itong zero balance billing na idinagdag ng Senate, is this enough or is it kulang?

02:54:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002696

Or ano bang experience ng PGH?

02:54:14Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002697

Katulad po ng sinabi ko nung kanina.

02:54:16Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002698

May kulang pa po ng konti for 2027, 600 million, para lang po mapantayan yung aming nagagawa in 2026.

02:54:25Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002699

So tama lang po itong, kung mabalik lang po yung aming 800 million na shortfall for our submitted post-budget for 2027 billion,

02:54:41Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002700

we will be able to carry out the zero balance billing program for 2027.

02:54:45Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002701

But how much, Dok?

02:54:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002702

For the zero balance billing.

02:54:49Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002703

It's around 2 billion pesos a year po.

02:54:52Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002704

2 billion pesos a year.

02:54:53Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002705

And then of which, ang nabigay?

02:54:56Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002706

Last year po, nabigyan ng 1.3 billion.

02:54:59Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002707

1.3, so may balance sa 700.

02:55:00Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002708

Opo.

02:55:02Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002709

Pagka po lang kukulang, ginagamit ng hospital ang income or savings para po tuloy-tuloy na mabigay ang servisyo sa zero balance billing.

02:55:13Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002710

Opo.

02:55:13Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002711

Kasi yun ang...

02:55:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002712

Of course, yun ang ating...

02:55:16Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002713

battle cry right now, yung zero balance billing.

02:55:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002714

So yung mga constituents natin na pumupunta sa public hospitals,

02:55:26Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002715

regardless of your income,

02:55:28Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002716

you can avail of the zero balance billing.

02:55:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002717

So yun yung we're trying to protect that for 2027.

02:55:37Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002718

If I may explain, Mr. Chair,

02:55:39Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002719

ang zero balance billing po ngayon ay 100% sa ating mga indigent patients.

02:55:46Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002720

So,

02:55:46Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002721

meron po kaming meeting ng PhilHealth at ng DOH na paano pag-aralan na iaakyat po ito sa mga lower middle income patients or even the middle income patients which actually expands universal health care coverage.

02:56:00Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002722

So, meron pong mga programa tulad ng EMA-EFIP.

02:56:05Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002723

Pagka dinagdag po natin sa current funding ng PhilHealth, ng income ng hospital, ng savings,

02:56:12Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002724

we can now see a path towards expanding zero balance.

02:56:16Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002725

Billing to those already in the pay wards, hindi naman sa pay single room pero nasa ward po, and hopefully mga teachers ang maliit lang ang sweldo o ating mga government workers ang maliit lang ang sweldo pero nasa pay floors, nasa pay wards, mako-cover na lang po hopefully ng zero balance billing or at least konti na lang ang kanilang ilalabas. So yun po yung pinag-aaralan ngayon.

02:56:41Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002726

I think that's also,

02:56:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002727

Right now, kasi kung nasa pay ward ka,

02:56:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002728

ang pumapasok is yung

02:56:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002729

MAIP.

02:56:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002731

Yung MAIP.

02:56:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002732

Yung medical assistance, MAIP, yun ang pumapasok.

02:56:55Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002733

But if you're outside of the pay ward, dito na pumapasok si zero balance billing.

02:57:02Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002734

Correct.

02:57:03Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002735

Pero kung kayo po, kahit may kaya kayo, ang prinsipi ng zero balance billing, kahit may kaya kayo at kayo humiga sa isang charity bed, zero pa rin ho kayo.

02:57:14Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002736

Correct.

02:57:14Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002737

That's where we are balancing kasi since uncovered lang naman ng zero balance ay yung charity ward or the pay ward.

02:57:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002738

Marami kasing cases sa mga government hospitals dahil sobrang puno.

02:57:33Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002739

Ang occupancy rate ng government hospital naglalaro anything between 130% to almost 200% in some cases.

02:57:42Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002740

Nafaforce sila, napapwere sa sila.

02:57:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002741

Sa pay wards.

02:57:47Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002742

Opo.

02:57:47Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002743

Pag na-forsa sila sa pay wards, hindi naman sila maka-avail ng zero balance billing.

02:57:53Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002744

So doon na pumapasok yung medical assistance or MAIP.

02:57:59Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002745

Yung bagong MAIP, yung bagong programa, ito po ay as end users, mas madali po namin nagagamit ito kasi po ang approving authority lang ay yung medical center chief.

02:58:12Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002746

So mas na-review.

02:58:14Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002747

Para-rationalize po namin ang paggamit ng e-MAIP with the actual need, with the actual financial burden of the patient.

02:58:23Source

PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi

asr-002748

Dahil nga social worker based pa rin yung pag-allot ng assistance sa mga private patient na alanganin naman pong magbayad din.

02:58:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002749

Well, binabalansi po namin dito nila Senator Joel yung MAIP, yung zero balance billing as well as yung PhilHealth subsidies.

02:58:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002750

So all of this.

02:58:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002751

Kasi dumadating dito so we're balancing that eh no?

02:58:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002752

Opo, yeah.

02:58:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002753

I think Mr. Senate President, what mentioned a while ago by Dr. Gap, yung maapektuhan at least yung 600 million worth of medical supplies for our indigent patients.

02:59:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002754

Di ba?

02:59:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002755

Because of the slashing of this 9.9% decrease in the budget of PGH.

02:59:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002756

Thank you.

02:59:11Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002757

Thank you for that, Mr. Chairman.

02:59:14Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002758

I'll jump to another question to Ched.

02:59:19Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002759

And this is in relation to yung free higher education deficiencies.

02:59:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002760

Na-fully settle na ba ito, Chairperson Shirley?

02:59:31Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002761

Last year kasi naglagay tayong ng 4.4 billion pesos.

02:59:38Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002762

And then Ched naglagay ng 7.8 billion.

02:59:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002763

And moving forward, the formula na gagamitin ng SUCs are based on projections rather than actual.

02:59:56Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002764

Yung actual kasi creates a deficiency.

03:00:00Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002765

So, two questions. Nabayaran na ba itong 12.3 billion na deficiency? And then, the next question is, are we already enforcing the new formula? Therefore, hindi na ho tayo magkakaroon ng deficiencies.

03:00:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002766

Thank you very much, sir.

03:00:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002767

May check eh. Itong mga 20 ay may konting deficiency pa. So, if they can submit it next week, then we will finish the disbursement immediately.

03:01:02Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002768

For the second question.

03:01:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002769

Ma'am, first question lang is, so in other words, it's being processed now?

03:01:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002770

Yes po, it is being processed.

03:01:11Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002771

And then, eventually we will settle all the 12.3 billion.

03:01:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002772

9.7 billion pesos deficiency. Masasettle na natin yan.

03:01:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002773

As of the recalculation po, 9.7 billion ang nirelease sa amin because we align our data, DBM, CHED, and based on the PASUC submission, nag-total lang po siya ng 9.7 billion pesos.

03:01:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002774

For the second question.

03:01:45Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002775

Yan po yung pinagkakaroon.

03:01:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002776

Napakiusap namin ngayon. Tapos na po yung SGV report namin.

03:01:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002777

Nila, UNIFAS board already accepted it.

03:01:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002778

We already have the data.

03:01:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002779

They calculated the cost of education per students per year.

03:02:06Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002780

And we tried to spread that into four tranches.

03:02:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002781

Kung i-implement na, ready for implement.

03:02:16Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002782

The question is fund.

03:02:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002783

Availability.

03:02:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002784

So, medyo malaki po ang kailangan.

03:02:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002785

We can submit to you the cost requirement, the fund requirement per tranche.

03:02:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002786

Kasi ang nakikita namin is if we expand into four tranches, that means four years, malaki po ang kailangan.

03:02:36Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002787

We can submit it to you.

03:02:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002788

Can you show me?

03:02:39Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002789

What do you mean by four tranches?

03:02:41Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002790

Anong?

03:02:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002791

If at one time, in order to harmonize now the...

03:02:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002792

Tuition fee of all 113 SUCs and LUCs, the cost per unit is P1,212 per unit.

03:03:04Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002793

Compared to the present per unit being collected by SUC, which ranges from P12 to P500.

03:03:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002794

Sa details po, about P108 collects P12 to P250.

03:03:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002795

And about the P6 or P7, about P250.

03:03:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002796

So, we came up with different options, proposals.

03:03:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002797

Nag-compute din ang DBM.

03:03:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002798

Kasi po, hindi po talaga kaya.

03:03:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002799

We are all aware of the limited fiscal space of the government.

03:03:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002800

So, CHED has its own proposal in order to have a step gap.

03:03:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002801

PASUC has its own.

03:03:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002802

DBM has its own.

03:03:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002803

And SGV, we have four proposals.

03:04:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002804

Which we agreed a while ago that we will form a technical working group upon the proposal of Senator Bam with EDCOM.

03:04:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002805

DBM and CHED and maybe representative from PASUC.

03:04:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002806

PASUC.

03:04:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002807

We will come up with a win-win equation for the consideration of our Senate president.

03:04:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002808

Gusto ko yan, win-win solution. Gusto natin yan.

03:04:31Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002809

But what you're saying is, Chairperson Shirley, magiging uniform na at 1-2.

03:04:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002810

Ang SGV formula, Sir SP, kung kaya natin,

03:04:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002811

1,212 per unit.

03:04:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002812

Kaya ang proposal, para hindi mabigat sa gobyerno,

03:04:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002813

para scientific, with scientific basis na yung i-implement is,

03:05:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002814

i-divide by four.

03:05:02Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002815

Tingnan mo, divide by four. Bilis.

03:05:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002816

What do you mean divide by four? Meaning?

03:05:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002817

For tranches, for years.

03:05:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002818

Pagka umapot ng 1,200?

03:05:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002819

Per unit, divided by four.

03:05:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002820

Buti na lang, wala na ako dito.

03:05:17Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002821

Pagkatong graduate na ako nun.

03:05:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002822

But how much are we looking at at that time?

03:05:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002823

Obviously, pag 500, the requirement will be anything between twice to three times to four times.

03:05:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002824

For 2027, if we use the SGV, we need 67.8 billion.

03:05:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002825

For DBM, we need...

03:05:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002826

43.7 billion for year, for year one.

03:05:52Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002827

Year to tumataas po, for 2028, 107 billion.

03:06:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002828

For 2029, 153.

03:06:04Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002829

For 2030, 205.4 billion.

03:06:08Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002830

So that's the, that should be the million, no?

03:06:14Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002831

Billion?

03:06:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002832

Sir, billion po.

03:06:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002833

Billion?

03:06:16Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002834

Billion?

03:06:17Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002835

Magkano yung present?

03:06:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002849

Current FHC, na walang adjustment, 27 point billion.

03:06:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002850

So if you, if we use the four tranches, if we implement the result of the SGV into four tranches, that means four years.

03:06:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002851

Yung 2027.

03:06:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002852

27.

03:06:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002853

67.

03:06:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002854

67 billion minus 27 yung current, we need 40 billion.

03:06:52Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002855

Okay.

03:06:53Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002856

All right.

03:06:54Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002857

So from 27 billion, aakyat siya to 205 billion.

03:07:02Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002858

Ito na yung full.

03:07:04Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002859

Yes po, yung full.

03:07:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002860

Full amount.

03:07:06Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002861

For four years.

03:07:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002862

Yes po.

03:07:08Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002863

So almost times 10.

03:07:11Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002864

Almost times 10.

03:07:14Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002865

Okay.

03:07:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002866

Okay.

03:07:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002867

But since hindi pa natin ito in-implement, what formula are we using?

03:07:24Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002868

The immediate remedy that we are proposing, of course, I can only speak of CHED now, is the, what we call it, leveling up.

03:07:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002869

Para po makapaglaba, makapag, so that the State University, those SUCs who collects,

03:07:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002870

tuition fee from 12 pesos to 250, na 108 sila, kung pwede lang, iangat sila lahat hanggang 250 per unit.

03:07:56Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002871

Yung mga nagkocollect ng 250 up, para hindi sila masyadong madihado naman, para may laban, kahit mataas na sila for how many years, tulad ni President Tirso, ay mabibigyan ng 20% increase.

03:08:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002872

So if we follow that, if we follow that po, the total projection fee collected, if we follow that proposal, ang kailangan, ang kailangan po natin for SUCs and LUKs is 14.6 billion lang.

03:08:34Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002873

If you deduct the current na naiprogram na na 9 billion, we only need 5.5 billion.

03:08:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002874

Okay.

03:08:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002875

Magiging mag-benefit ang 108 SUCs who collects tuition fee from 12 pesos to 250 per unit.

03:08:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002876

And about 8, I'll give you, we can give you the right number, 8 SUCs who collects 250 and above.

03:09:02Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002877

That is actually changing the per unit cost.

03:09:11Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002878

But assuming it's still the same, but the formula we're using is projected number of students.

03:09:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002879

Yes, we have the projected number.

03:09:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002880

I would like...

03:09:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002881

Yan ang pinagamit natin moving forward.

03:09:26Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002882

So in other words, ang punta ko lang, Ma'am Shirley, hindi na tayo magkakaroon ng utang.

03:09:33Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002883

Hindi na tayo magkakaroon ng deficiency.

03:09:36Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002884

Sir, hindi po.

03:09:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002885

Ginagamit.

03:09:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002886

Sorry.

03:09:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002887

I stand corrected.

03:09:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002888

Hindi pa ginagamit yung itong formula ito for projection.

03:09:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002889

Ang goal lang namin sana is to elevate lang ng content.

03:09:49Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002890

And this only pertains to cost per unit.

03:09:52Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002891

Yung miscellaneous ay iba pa.

03:09:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002892

Let it be that way.

03:09:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002893

Anyway, meron nang data ang SDV.

03:09:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002894

By the time na ready ang government na i-implement, medyo okay na kasi marami nang nakaangat.

03:10:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002895

But assuming the same lang yung cost per unit.

03:10:08Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002896

The same yung miscellaneous cost.

03:10:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002897

What's different lang yung projected number of students, di ba?

03:10:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002898

Kasi lumalaki yung number of students natin eh.

03:10:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002899

So with that, hindi na tayo...

03:10:20Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002900

Ang punta ko, hindi na tayo magkakaroon ng deficiency in the next few years.

03:10:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002901

Assuming na projected na yung gamit natin.

03:10:28Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002902

Tama?

03:10:29Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002903

Kasi we already settled yung 12 billion deficiency.

03:10:33Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002904

What we don't want is magkaroon na naman ng utang moving forward.

03:10:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002905

Mr. Chair.

03:10:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002906

At tagutin ko muna.

03:10:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002907

Yes, sir.

03:10:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002908

Nakikita ko po yung punto nyo.

03:10:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002909

But to avoid the deficiency.

03:10:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002910

But we can only avoid deficiency if we establish a common formula for the absorptive capacity.

03:10:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002911

Kasi may mga...

03:10:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002912

I have the data that 68% of the 113 SUC accept students beyond...

03:11:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002913

Hmm.

03:11:06Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002914

Students beyond their absorptive capacity.

03:11:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002915

So we have the data.

03:11:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002916

So kailangan kaya sabi kanina, pinag-usapan kanina.

03:11:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002917

Yeah, 68% exceeded their estimated enrollment capacity.

03:11:20Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002918

32% were within or below their estimated enrollment capacity.

03:11:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002919

So we really cannot project unless we have a common equation across 113 SUCs.

03:11:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002920

Oo.

03:11:33Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002921

Ba't yung absorptive capacity niya?

03:11:35Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002922

Hindi naman siya kasama doon...

03:11:38Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002923

Binibilang na rin natin siya sa kanyang reimbursements.

03:11:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002924

Diba?

03:11:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002925

So kasama na siya eh.

03:11:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002926

So my point is number of students slash yung per unit cost, yun ang ating binabayad sa kanya.

03:11:52Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002927

So hindi na tayo magkaka-utang moving forward.

03:11:55Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002928

Yun lang ang gusto ko malaman.

03:11:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002929

Yes.

03:11:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002930

Yes po.

03:11:59Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002931

Tama po.

03:12:00Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002932

Nag-accumulate yung utang eh.

03:12:03Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002933

What we want is to stop the deficiency first.

03:12:07Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002934

And then after stopping the deficiency first, then we talk about the reasonable per unit cost per student.

03:12:17Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002935

Diba? Yun ang next move natin.

03:12:20Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002936

Kasi nga iba-ibang school, iba-iba ang cost. Diba?

03:12:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002937

May malaking school, mas malaki ang cost. Mas maliit school, mas maliit ang cost.

03:12:28Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002938

So pag-uusapan naman natin yan moving forward. No?

03:12:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002939

Yes.

03:12:33Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002940

But we're not gonna have any deficiency or utang in the next, moving forward. Tama?

03:12:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002941

Tama po.

03:12:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-002942

Okay. Alright.

03:12:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002943

Yeah, that's what I want to cover.

03:12:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002944

Si Dr. Sorieta wants to…

03:12:48Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002945

Mr. Chair, to add some insight to the discussion.

03:12:52Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002946

Tama po kayo na kung sinusunod lang po ang allocation basis sa projected enrollment, wala pong deficiency.

03:13:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002947

Alam po ninyo sa 2027, by the time we speak, siguradong meron ng deficiency.

03:13:08Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002948

Kasi 46 among our SUCs now are allocated the same as the allocation for FHC in 2026.

03:13:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002949

Ngayon po, by the time we speak, meaning to say, wala na tayong room ngayon for increase.

03:13:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002950

Kasi ang budget na ibinigay sa SUC, 46 SUCs, for 2027 sa FHC,

03:13:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002951

kuneope lang po yung budget nila ng FHC ng 2026.

03:13:33Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002952

So hindi pa po ginagamit, which I think that's in the special provision,

03:13:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002953

that the allocation must be determined by the projected enrollment.

03:13:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002954

Ngayon, hindi ko rin po alam kung why DBM is not following that.

03:13:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002955

Sabi nila, ayaw nilang sundin yung binigay naming projected enrollment kasi wala raw basis.

03:13:56Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002956

Saan ba natin generally

03:13:58Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002957

kukuhanin ang projected enrollment?

03:14:01Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002958

It goes without saying that when you project enrollment, you will count the number of your chairs.

03:14:07Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002959

But in counting the number of chairs, we must also count the digital chairs, the digital seats.

03:14:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002960

It's not peg must be to the physical chairs.

03:14:16Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002961

The number of teachers, or even modality, or even number of shifts.

03:14:22Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002962

Kung morning shifts, afternoon shifts, meron pa ding evening shifts ng klase.

03:14:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002963

Ang number of shifts, modality.

03:14:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002964

I have some reservation on the formula being introduced to determine the absorptive capacity.

03:14:35Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002965

Tanong po, Mr. Chair.

03:14:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002966

Sa 10931, kasi ang aming pong reservation dyan sa absorptive capacity, baka gamitin yan as a cap of our enrollment

03:14:47Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002967

if we will be counting the number of seats and the number of faculty.

03:14:51Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002968

Now, where shall we base our absorptive capacity?

03:14:56Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002969

To our current limitation or to the demand?

03:15:00Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002970

Let's say, for example, just to give context to our discussion,

03:15:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002971

this 2025, there are 1.3 million students who sought admission to our SUCs.

03:15:10Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002972

And only 500,000 were admitted, meaning we were not able to admit 800,000 students.

03:15:20Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002973

Now, if we will be stretching our capacity, let's say, for example, a bit,

03:15:25Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002974

baka maging 600,000 sana.

03:15:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002975

Now, let's say, for example, ako last year, my enrollment, let's say, for example, is 60,000.

03:15:34Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002976

Maybe it's safe for me to say na I can stretch by finding more or looking for more faculty.

03:15:40Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002977

I may endeavor to find more chairs next school year.

03:15:45Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002978

I should not be limited by my last year's number of chairs.

03:15:50Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002979

I must not be limited by my last year's number of teachers because I can hire teachers.

03:15:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002980

Because of the smart campuses that we have now,

03:16:00Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002981

some of our SUCs can deliberate blended to increase the capacity.

03:16:04Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002982

I have some opportunity to talk to, let's say, Arizona State.

03:16:08Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002983

And I asked them, what is your number of students?

03:16:11Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002984

He told me, for those degree-seeking, we have 200,000 students

03:16:16Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002985

because we believe that our online classes are as effective as the face-to-face classes.

03:16:22Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002986

And those non-degree-seeking, or let's say, conventional or non-conventional,

03:16:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002987

they have 500,000.

03:16:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002988

So, they are not only considering the number of seats.

03:16:32Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002989

Be that as it may, Mr. Chair, I think, dapat na sinusunod pa rin ng DBM

03:16:37Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002990

kung anong piniroject nating enrollment.

03:16:39Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002991

Siguro naman, walang magpuproject sa atin ng masyadong malaki

03:16:42Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002992

kasi hindi mo din siya masisingil because the reimbursement is based on actual enrollment.

03:16:47Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002993

If, let's say, for example, I have miscalculation, I have 1,000 enrollees now.

03:16:52Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002994

I projected, let's say, I have 1,050 next year.

03:16:56Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002995

Now, in actuality, I have 1,000 enrollees now.

03:16:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002996

In actual, I only have 1,040.

03:16:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002997

So, hindi naman ako babayaran ng 1,050 because the payment is based on the actual enrollment.

03:17:06Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002998

There may be some differences in allocation or in projection.

03:17:12Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-002999

What I'm saying is, maybe, baka pwedeng maglagay nila ng cap.

03:17:15Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003000

Let's say, wala sa ating tataas ng 5%, rule of thumb, or let's say 3%.

03:17:21Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003001

So, kung ikaw yung mag-i-stretch, let's say, for example,

03:17:24Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003002

ng number of seats, number of teachers, number of shifts,

03:17:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003003

so, I think, hindi mo na rin lalampasan dapat.

03:17:30Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003004

I think, we must agree on that.

03:17:32Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003005

Ang masakit, Mr. Chair, sinabi ko nga po kanina,

03:17:35Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003006

46 lang HUC ngayon, same lang ang allocation ng FHC.

03:17:39Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003007

So, for sure, deficiency ngayon.

03:17:42Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003008

So, mukhang hindi natitigil, nakakaya namang sabihin,

03:17:45Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003009

taon-taon na po, Mr. Chair, ang ating usapan, deficiency.

03:17:48Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003010

If we're saying that education is the first priority of this Constitution,

03:17:52Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003011

in our Constitution, I think, we must not allow deficiency.

03:17:55Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003012

Okay?

03:17:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003013

In higher education.

03:17:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003014

That's our submission, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

03:18:02Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003015

Pero, di ba ang computation ngayon, based on projected?

03:18:06Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003016

Hindi po.

03:18:07Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003017

Hindi sinunod.

03:18:08Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003018

That's in the special provision.

03:18:13Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003019

Di ba?

03:18:13Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003020

Tama po, pinalagyan natin yan.

03:18:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003021

For example, for your 2027 enrollment, projection nyo, yun ang pupunduhan.

03:18:23Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003022

Di ba?

03:18:23Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003023

That's in the special provision.

03:18:24Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003024

Apo.

03:18:25Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003025

Kung di nga.

03:18:26Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003026

Kung di ma.

03:18:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003027

Itong deficiency, hindi matatapos eh.

03:18:29Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003028

Tama po.

03:18:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003029

So, hindi ba ganun ang...

03:18:31Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003030

Hindi po.

03:18:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003031

Ang part of the calculation?

03:18:34Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003032

Thank you.

03:18:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003033

Yeah.

03:18:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003034

Enrollment projection, I believe, is a function of the absorptive capacity of university.

03:18:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003035

And when we talk of the absorptive capacity of SUC, it is played by different variables.

03:18:52Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003036

Number one is the student-faculty ratio.

03:18:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003037

Number two is the number of classes.

03:18:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003038

Classrooms, availability, and laboratory, and others po.

03:19:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003039

The absorptive capacity formula should be solved first before we can come up with an ideal projection, Mr. Surespy.

03:19:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003040

So, kailangan po, siguro po, para hindi po magdidiscuss ng kung paano gagawin ang enrollment projection.

03:19:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003041

We first settle on the formula how to have the proper equation for enrollment projection po.

03:19:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003042

Iba-iba po kasi.

03:19:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003043

Ang isang university has a faculty-student ratio of one faculty to 60, may one is to 25, one is to 30, one is to 40.

03:19:49Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003044

Kaya po, yung aming computation with DBM, yung initial kasi na kinumpute namin noon,

03:19:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003045

doon tayo ng deficiency ng 12 point something billion deficiency.

03:20:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003046

We base it from a 1 is to 25 student-faculty ratio.

03:20:08Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003047

Pero may kaya yung mga 1 is to 60, 1 is to 70, talagang malaki yung discrepancy niya, Mr. S.P.

03:20:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003048

Kailangan na kasi ayusin yung formula.

03:20:22Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003049

Pero, Julia, sabi naman si Patlas, parameters lang, hindi naman kailangan ng formula.

03:20:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003050

Kasi ang goal ko kasi wala, moving forward, huwag na tayo magkaroon ng deficiency, kundi hindi matatapos kasi itong problema eh.

03:20:39Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003051

So, and the only way we can do it is dapat projections ang gamit.

03:20:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003052

But I…

03:20:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003053

Can you see the special provision?

03:20:53Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003054

Yes, sir.

03:20:55Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003055

Thank you.

03:20:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003056

And the question of absorptive capacity, malaking debate yan.

03:21:02Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003057

So, we'll leave the question of absorptive capacity to Ched to ano, kasi malaking debate yan.

03:21:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003058

Like, I'm looking at some of the increases.

03:21:17Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003059

Like, for example, sa CAR, sa Cordillera, ang increase ng enrollment is 147%.

03:21:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003060

Sa Caraga, 109%.

03:21:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003061

Western Visayas, 104%.

03:21:33Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003062

Of course, masaya tayo na may araming students nag-aaral.

03:21:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003063

Diba?

03:21:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003064

But we also want to make sure na quality yung tinuturo natin sa kanila.

03:21:42Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003065

So, and when I say quality, malaking discussion yan within Ched whether to allow online classes or hybrid classes.

03:21:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003066

Or pure face-to-face classes.

03:21:59Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003067

I'll leave that to you.

03:22:01Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003068

Kasi malaking debate yan eh.

03:22:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003069

Para sa akin, what's important for now, at least for this budget hearing, hindi na tayo magkaroon ng deficiency moving forward.

03:22:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003070

Now, how to compute your capacity, your absorptive capacity or carrying capacity?

03:22:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003071

I iiwang ko yan sa Ched.

03:22:29Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003072

That's a policy issue that you have to discuss among yourselves.

03:22:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003073

Kasi malaking debate yan.

03:22:34Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003074

Kung ako tatanungin, in our setting, face-to-face is still the best.

03:22:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003075

But sabi nga ni Dr. Tears, so may mga, baka may mga courses na pwedeng hybrid.

03:22:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003076

But I'll leave that to Ched.

03:22:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003077

Because that's a policy issue.

03:22:53Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003078

So, what's important for us is hindi na maulit yung deficiency.

03:22:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003079

But I understand dito sa DBM, na ginagamit pa rin nila actual billing.

03:23:06Source

asr-003080

Nandito ba yung ano natin sa DBM?

03:23:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003081

This is the general provision, this one.

03:23:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003082

Take the seat.

03:23:20Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003083

Can you take the hot seat?

03:23:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003084

Kasi mali yung ginagawa ninyo eh, DBM.

03:23:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003087

Kasi dito sa formula na gamit nyo is actual 2025 billing.

03:23:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003088

But in the general provision, this is a special provision too.

03:23:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003089

In the special provision, shall be based on projected enrollment.

03:23:52Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003090

Very clear dito. Bakit ginagamit pa rin ay actual billing?

03:23:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003091

Yes, go ahead, ma'am.

03:24:01Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003092

Mr. Chair, Your Honor, if I may.

03:24:05Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003093

Actually po, it's not only the actual billing po.

03:24:09Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003094

In addition po, meron po yung three-year average increase po in the number of enrollees sa computation.

03:24:18Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003095

Bali, increase in the number of enrollees po.

03:24:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003096

So, capture na yun.

03:24:24Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003097

Opo.

03:24:25Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003098

Three-year average increase.

03:24:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003099

Increase.

03:24:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003100

But this is in the past.

03:24:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003101

Oo.

03:24:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003102

Diba, in the past.

03:24:32Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003103

Yes po, average.

03:24:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003104

Hindi pa rin yan yung nasa batas na based on projected enrollment.

03:24:38Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003105

Diba, iba naman yung historical, diba?

03:24:42Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003106

Iba naman yung moving forward.

03:24:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003107

Let's say, may nagpatayo siya ng bagong classroom, bagong building.

03:24:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003108

Siyempre, hindi maka-capture yun ng historical.

03:24:51Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003109

Of non-admission of projection.

03:24:53Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003110

We have no choice but to.

03:24:55Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003111

Yes po.

03:24:57Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003112

Actually po, Mr. Chair, in the absence po of the submission po from CHED for the projected po.

03:25:05Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003113

So, we have to be constrained po using this formula.

03:25:11Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003114

Just to put on record, it's a violation of the special provision ha.

03:25:17Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003115

Itong ginagamit yung formula for this year.

03:25:22Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003116

Bali po yung formula will be the FY 2025.

03:25:26Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003117

Actual billing plus 3-year average increase in the number of enrollees times the cost per student.

03:25:35Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003118

So, yung increase in the number of enrollees, ito na po yung magiging projected number po.

03:25:41Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003119

Diba, but that's not the, hindi nga yun yung essence nitong special provision.

03:25:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003120

Ang essence nitong special provision, ano yung tingin nilang magiging enrollment nila sa following year?

03:25:53Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003121

Diba po.

03:25:54Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003122

Kasi nga, we want to correct yung.

03:25:55Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003123

Ang deficiency, ano yung nagiging issue eh.

03:25:59Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003124

No?

03:26:00Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003125

Yeah, we are still having people from.

03:26:01Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003126

Umalik tayo sa dati, so ibig sabihin magkakautang ulit tayo.

03:26:05Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003127

Submission from CHED.

03:26:06Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003128

Hindi matatapos to.

03:26:07Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003129

What we want is to finish this eh.

03:26:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003130

Yes po.

03:26:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003131

As impatient as you are now, we have started communicating with DBM now.

03:26:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003132

And we are very thankful that Secretary Kim is open to all our suggestion.

03:26:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003133

That's why moving forward.

03:26:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003134

We will be creating now, CHED will spearhead the creation of technical working group that will involve the, that will involve EDCOM already.

03:26:36Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003135

DBM, EDCOM, and then maybe resource person from PASOP who will provide the data and everything.

03:26:45Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003136

Maybe hindi lang po resource person, baka pwedeng member.

03:26:52Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003137

Pinakamaganda dito.

03:26:53Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003138

Um.

03:26:54Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003139

Ang pag-usapan ng PASOP and CHED.

03:26:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003140

How do you.

03:26:59Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003141

Kasi.

03:27:00Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003142

Ang DBM naman, they look at the numbers eh.

03:27:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003143

No?

03:27:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003144

And they follow the guidelines.

03:27:08Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003145

So, in the absence of, I think it's absence of a guideline.

03:27:13Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003146

Hindi nila alam kung anong numbers ang titignan.

03:27:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003147

So, by default, tinignan nila yung dating numbers.

03:27:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003148

No?

03:27:19Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003149

But, let me just flag DBM.

03:27:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003150

Na projection ang gamit dito.

03:27:26Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003151

No?

03:27:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003152

Um.

03:27:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003153

In the special provision number 4 for SUCs.

03:27:35Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003154

Oo.

03:27:35Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003155

So, dapat kung anong tingin nilang enrollment nila this coming 2027, yun ang susundan.

03:27:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003156

Yun ang susundan.

03:27:47Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003157

Mr. Chair.

03:27:48Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003158

Yeah.

03:27:49Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003159

Though we learned that already this discussion sa Congress, I think two days ago.

03:27:54Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003160

The.

03:27:54Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003161

Shared formula adapted by DBM, as I also shared with your observation, I think it's not logically as correct as we expect.

03:28:03Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003162

Because if that will be an increase relative to the average of the past three years increases, you are correct.

03:28:10Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003163

It's not really projecting the future enrollment.

03:28:13Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003164

There are many formulas.

03:28:14Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003165

I think let's not make ourselves too difficult about it.

03:28:17Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003166

If that's annual growth rate, exponential decay or growth formula, is population increase.

03:28:22Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003167

It's not too.

03:28:23Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003168

It's not too difficult.

03:28:24Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003169

It's not too difficult to to use the annual growth rate formula, exponential.

03:28:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003170

Now, sabi ko nga po, kung lumabis ka ng konti, ang serious na yung galing mo naman sa DBM is actual, hindi ka pwedeng bigyan ng ayon sa projection mong lumabis ng konti, we will be giving them the actual enrollment, at doon kami babayadaan.

03:28:44Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003171

So that's that's really bugging us, Mr. Chair.

03:28:46Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003172

Katulad po ngayon, sabi ko nga kanina, there are 40 of us, 46 rather, na kinopya lang kung anong budget allocation nung 2026, copy lang ngayon.

03:28:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003174

So tama po kayo.

03:28:58Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003175

So tama po kayo, it's a technical, more or less non-compliance of what was written in the GAA.

03:29:05Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003176

That's what we are always wondering about.

03:29:07Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003177

Baka po pwede, Mr. Chair, ang proposal namin, pwede pa ngayon, kasi taon-taon naman kami nagsasubmit sa DBM ng projected enrollment namin eh.

03:29:16Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003178

At yung aming PRA doon binabasin, ina-approve ni board.

03:29:19Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003179

At yun ang aming pinapadala sa DBM, kasi that's also in the law.

03:29:22Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003180

That the PRA, as approved by the board, determined by the projected enrollment, will be endorsed by the DBM for funding.

03:29:30Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003181

So baka pwede itiwala na sa SUC ang pagpuproject?

03:29:33Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003182

Kasi hindi po kami pare-pare ng situation.

03:29:35Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003183

May SUC na may maraming space.

03:29:39Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003184

Halimbawa, depende rin sa subject.

03:29:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003185

Pwede 1 is to 100 pa nga eh.

03:29:43Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003186

Let's say sa mga big classes, kung ang klase mo social science, you have not all subjects.

03:29:48Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003187

But still, I think we have distinct differences sa bawat SUC.

03:29:52Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003188

Sa maliit na klase, let's say less than 15, baka conference room pwede.

03:29:56Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003189

Hindi sa classroom.

03:29:58Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003190

But when I count the projected enrollment,

03:29:59Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003191

I don't know.

03:30:00Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003192

Those are considered, at hindi po yan pwedeng standard ng isang formula.

03:30:05Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003193

We can have parameters determined to be considered, but to standardize with a formula, I think is also not acceptable because we are situated differently.

03:30:16Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003194

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

03:30:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003195

Mr. Chair, last two weeks, we have a consultation.

03:30:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003196

We have a 13-pages proposal of the guidelines for the proposed guidelines on determining the enrollment capacity of state universities and colleges and CHED-recognized local universities and colleges.

03:30:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003197

That was two weeks ago.

03:30:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003198

Pero both Alko and Paso did not agree.

03:30:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003199

You did not agree.

03:30:48Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003200

We agreed not to agree.

03:30:50Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003201

Agree.

03:30:52Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003202

And kaya po, masakit na talaga.

03:30:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003203

But we are really becoming so tuliro na what to follow.

03:31:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003204

Totoo po na by law, yung projected enrollment ang kailangan.

03:31:06Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003205

But no SUC should just freely project what they need.

03:31:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003206

It should be guided by guidelines and a common equation.

03:31:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003207

Among the parameters that we propose in this is that the faculty-student ratio.

03:31:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003208

We have to agree if it is 1 is to 25 or 1 is to 40.

03:31:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003209

Another factor or variable that should be considered is the classroom size.

03:31:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003210

The maximum 40 students.

03:31:34Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003211

Laboratory size maximum of 25 students.

03:31:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003212

Ito po na i-present.

03:31:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003213

Pero parang wala.

03:31:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003214

Walang magandang solusyon.

03:31:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003215

Pero we take note of the recommendation of PasoCNOW.

03:31:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003216

Note that there are lectures that can

03:31:50Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003217

accommodate to as many as 100

03:31:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003218

just like in UPLB before.

03:31:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003219

I attended the general subjects.

03:32:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003220

Nanandong kami sa auditorium mga 100 to 150 kami.

03:32:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003221

That is possible.

03:32:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003222

So we will input that.

03:32:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003223

I hope that after including that suggestion

03:32:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003224

and we welcome large classes,

03:32:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003225

after welcoming all those inputs, we are ready.

03:32:16Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003226

This will be our material.

03:32:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003227

This will be our material for the technical working group.

03:32:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003228

Para po next year, masolve na yung problema natin.

03:32:26Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003229

So ang tanong ko, for 2027,

03:32:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003230

based on your projections sa SUC,

03:32:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003231

magkano ang magiging deficiency?

03:32:35Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003232

I'm sure may deficiency yan.

03:32:36Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003233

100% ako may deficiency yan.

03:32:38Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003234

Mr. Chair, we presented a while ago po during our presentation.

03:32:41Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003235

We have around 2.7 billion.

03:32:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003236

Timot, kakabayad lang natin.

03:32:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003237

Utang na naman.

03:32:45Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003238

Yun ang sinasabi ko eh.

03:32:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003239

Kakabayad.

03:32:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003240

Kakabayad lang natin.

03:32:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003241

May utang na naman.

03:32:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003242

That's what I'm trying to avoid eh.

03:32:53Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003243

Mr. Chair, ito pong 2026, meron pa rin po.

03:32:56Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003244

2026, around 2 billion.

03:32:57Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003245

So hindi tayo matatapos eh.

03:32:59Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003246

Hindi tayo matatapos.

03:33:00Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003247

That's why kami nila, Sen. Joel,

03:33:02Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003248

we included yung projection as a basis

03:33:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003249

so that hindi na tayo naghahabol ng naghahabol.

03:33:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003250

And then the SUCs can function properly also.

03:33:12Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003251

Kasi sa deficiency, hindi sila makakafunction talaga.

03:33:17Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003252

So ganun.

03:33:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003253

Ganito na lang.

03:33:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003254

Magkano ang magiging deficiency for next year?

03:33:23Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003255

2.7 po.

03:33:25Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003256

Next year lang po yun.

03:33:26Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003257

In this year?

03:33:27Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003258

Around 2 billion po.

03:33:30Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003259

May 2.0 something.

03:33:34Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003260

So kagad, may utang na ng 4.7?

03:33:38Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003261

Kakabayad lang utang.

03:33:40Source

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo

asr-003262

Kasi nga po, hindi po sinusunod yung projection as basis for allocation ng budget.

03:33:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003263

Ganito na lang.

03:33:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003264

Chairperson, a groupies.

03:33:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003265

Why don't you sit with DBM and already settle this?

03:33:52Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003266

I know what you're saying eh.

03:33:54Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003267

Hindi naman pwedeng, ah bukas, we will grow by 10%.

03:33:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003268

Dagdag kami ng student ng 10%.

03:34:00Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003269

Sisingilin namin si DBM ng additional 10%.

03:34:03Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003270

Hindi naman pwede rin ganun.

03:34:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003271

Hindi naman pwede, ah bukas, 20% kami dahil gusto namin ng online learning.

03:34:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003272

Kahit walang classroom, kukuha kami ng 20,000 students.

03:34:14Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003273

Hindi naman pwedeng ganun.

03:34:16Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003274

So hindi pwedeng arbitrary.

03:34:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003275

I know what you're saying eh.

03:34:19Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003276

But we will leave that to CHED.

03:34:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003277

That policy, how to compute your carrying capacity, what courses can be done hybrid or online,

03:34:29Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003278

we will leave that to CHED.

03:34:31Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003279

But what we're concerned, kasi budget to, is hindi na magkaroon ng utang.

03:34:35Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003280

Yun ang concern namin eh.

03:34:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003281

Kasi or else it will never end.

03:34:40Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003282

So I just want to emphasize na in the case of the Senate, inayos na ho namin to.

03:34:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003283

Lagay ho tayo ng 4 billion, may special provision.

03:34:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003284

Ang bola ho, nasa CHED na and DBM, how to operationalize this projection special provision.

03:35:01Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003285

And PASUC, of course.

03:35:02Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003286

Kayong tatlo na mag-usap-usap how to operationalize this.

03:35:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003287

But as far as we are concerned, we've allocated 4 billion, we put the special provision, yun ang aming deliverables.

03:35:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003288

Thank you very much, sir.

03:35:16Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003289

I just would like to...

03:35:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003290

To mention here, para po masafeguarda na yung SEDF, na hindi na target na source, na pagbayad ng deficiency.

03:35:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003291

Last year, 12.3 billion ang nabuo to pay the deficiency of rehire education from 2022 to 2025.

03:35:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003292

Opo.

03:35:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003293

After computation and alignment of data, DBM released 9.2.

03:35:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003294

So 12 billion minus 9.7, meron pa, meron 2.4 something billion.

03:35:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003295

This weekend, we can allow kasi na alis na sa aming budget allocation.

03:36:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003296

Sana po hindi na sobrahan.

03:36:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003297

Thank you, Madam Chair.

03:36:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003298

So just to reiterate, the time is of the essence.

03:36:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003299

So you have to meet with DBM.

03:36:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003300

Yes, po.

03:36:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003301

On the projection, what is the formula of the projection?

03:36:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003302

Yes, po.

03:36:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003303

With the EDCOM.

03:36:26Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003304

So how do you determine that projection?

03:36:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003305

Kasi alam ko yung sinasabi nyo, you cannot just have an arbitrary projection.

03:36:35Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003306

Diba?

03:36:35Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003307

And then, it can also create this perverse incentive na taasan natin yung ating enrollment.

03:36:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003308

Kasi mas mataas yung makukuhang free hire subsidy.

03:36:47Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003309

Yeah.

03:36:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003310

For our education.

03:36:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003311

So hindi pwede rin ganon.

03:36:50Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003312

But we leave that to Ched.

03:36:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003313

That's a policy issue that Ched should address.

03:36:56Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003314

Yeah.

03:36:56Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003315

Thank you.

03:36:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003316

Thank you, Sir SP.

03:36:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003317

Mr. Chair, Your Honor.

03:37:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003318

Director Labastilla, you're...

03:37:06Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003319

Yes, what's the question?

03:37:07Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003320

We would just like to respectfully reiterate po na in the absence po ng submission regarding the projected number of...

03:37:16Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003321

We have no options.

03:37:18Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003322

We have no option po ba to adopt this policy po, itong ating formula.

03:37:26Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003323

Pero we're really looking forward po to coordinating with you rin po kay Madam Chair, kay PASUC President din po.

03:37:36Source

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla

asr-003324

Thank you po.

03:37:37Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003325

Looks like...

03:37:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003326

I don't know.

03:37:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003327

Parang may cup eh.

03:37:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003328

Nangyayari.

03:37:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003329

Parang may cup ka ngayon.

03:37:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003330

Mm-hmm.

03:37:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003331

Yes, Chairperson?

03:37:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003332

Yeah, Mr. Chair.

03:37:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003333

As I've mentioned,

03:37:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003334

kunang...

03:37:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003335

wala pa kayo,

03:37:49Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003336

we have a 13-pages guidelines on the enrollment projection or absorptive capacity.

03:37:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003337

If we can expedite, we are no longer...

03:38:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003338

we will not starting from zero anymore.

03:38:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003339

If PASUC and ALCU will come to a common agreement already,

03:38:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003340

baka mahabol natin for 2027.

03:38:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003341

So, yeah, we will create a task force into how we can address this very challenging issue.

03:38:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003342

But at least for next year, if we can put up a provision in Daga'a para masiguro natin na hindi maulit yung ginakaharap natin yan.

03:38:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003343

I will continue to give the floor to our SP, unless...

03:38:52Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003344

Mr. Chair?

03:38:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003345

Yes?

03:38:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003346

Pakisingit ng konti.

03:38:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003347

Sure.

03:38:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003348

I have a manifestation.

03:38:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003349

This year, DBM released the ROS-2.

03:39:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003350

ROS-2?

03:39:02Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003351

For the plantilla position for research plantilla position.

03:39:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003352

And it is now being implemented.

03:39:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003353

By law kung ang research center is created by law,

03:39:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003354

Okay.

03:39:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003355

The university is entitled to a 25-plantilia position.

03:39:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003356

If it is BOR approved, tatlong research center ay mabibigyan ng 25-plantilia position.

03:39:31Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003357

Tama po yun.

03:39:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003358

So lahat ng mga SUC ay nagkakaroon na as long as they have a verified research center.

03:39:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003359

Being the chair of CHED and oversee this 113 SUCs through our commissioners,

03:39:50Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003360

ang nakikita namin po kung walang funding ng research as a seed fund to run the research center,

03:40:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003361

magiging white elephant ang research centers.

03:40:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003362

So may marami tayong white elephant clerk.

03:40:08Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003363

So kung possible lang,

03:40:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003364

just like what Senator Wyn Gatchalian did in our National Bioenergy Research and Innovation Center,

03:40:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003365

which is now a very progressive and dynamic research center for biofuel,

03:40:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003366

we also developed the Professional Science Masters in Renewable Energy

03:40:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003367

with that 5 million seed fund that Senator Wyn has inserted before.

03:40:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003368

So continuing po na may 5 million na nagpapaikot,

03:40:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003369

to cover the MOOE and basic researches under the center.

03:40:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003370

So kung pwede po, na yung 113 SUCs ay mabigyan ng TIG for 5 million pesos lang

03:40:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003371

to start to run their center just like we did in NBERIC.

03:40:56Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003372

That will only require 565 million pesos.

03:41:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003373

So bahala na po yung SUC kung paano niya gagpapaikotin?

03:41:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003374

Prioritize niya.

03:41:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003375

Opo, BA.

03:41:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003376

Just to not belabor the issues we're all trying to, we're all cramming up with the time and all.

03:41:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003377

Siguro yung isubmit nyo na lang sa amin ma'am yung request nyo.

03:41:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003378

Tapos as mentioned already by Senator Bam, yung priorities siguro makita natin.

03:41:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003379

Talagang, I will be giving you all false hopes para sabihin ko na we'll be able to get the 30 billion.

03:41:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003380

Because I don't know where we're going to get the 30 billion unless our SP will contribute his personal and the BIRULAC.

03:41:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003381

But there's no way.

03:42:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003382

So we need to see your priorities on how we can for these particular issues.

03:42:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003383

Kasi ang dami ho eh.

03:42:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003384

Ako nga.

03:42:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003385

Sa totoo lang, nako-confuse na ako which one's more important, etc.

03:42:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003386

So we'll do that, Chairperson Shirley.

03:42:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003387

Basta mapigyan nyo kami ng list.

03:42:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003388

And then I will ask my colleagues also, especially the concerned offices here in the Senate.

03:42:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003389

Marami kayong supporters dito.

03:42:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003390

So yun yung positive na masasabi ko.

03:42:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003391

But we'll do our best.

03:42:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003392

I will still give the floor to our Senate President, SP Wynn.

03:42:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003393

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

03:42:52Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003394

Mr. Chairman, I'll jump to another topic.

03:42:54Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003395

But we hope that CHED will coordinate with DBM on this matter so that we can already put this to rest.

03:43:04Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003396

Kasi recurring issue siya eh.

03:43:06Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003397

Next will be...

03:43:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003398

On the topic of tertiary education subsidy and particularly for four-piece.

03:43:16Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003399

Ito madalas rin natin pag-uusapan ito, Chair Shirley.

03:43:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003400

But now we have a new law that amended the free higher education law.

03:43:28Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003401

Particularly, this new law will focus on the poor, especially four-piece.

03:43:35Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003402

So I just want to know, kasi tinitignan ko ngayon yung budget.

03:43:39Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003403

In the NEP, may 1.7 billion pesos for new four-piece.

03:43:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003404

And that will cover 150,000 beneficiaries.

03:43:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003405

Ang tanong natin is, paano yung mga new four-piece na papasok?

03:44:03Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003406

Because I understand itong...

03:44:06Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003407

Itong 2 billion...

03:44:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003408

Itong 2 billion is for the ongoing, mga naka-enroll na ito.

03:44:17Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003409

So can you give us a rundown lang on the four-piece?

03:44:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003410

Just on the four-piece, na?

03:44:23Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003411

Tutukan lang natin yung four-piece beneficiaries.

03:44:25Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003412

Because under the new law na pinirmahan natin, and you were there also,

03:44:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003413

bibigyan na sila ng focus.

03:44:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003414

Yung ongoing po is well-funded.

03:44:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003415

For 2026.

03:44:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003416

Yung 2027, may funding, based on the DSWD list, we have 354,488 qualifiers.

03:45:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003417

what is allotted in the NEP

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

our enrollment now

03:45:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003425

and

03:45:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003426

we projected

03:45:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

03:45:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003432

So, we

03:45:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003433

...

03:45:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003434

We need 3.1

03:45:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003435

billion to finance

03:45:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003438

Bakit, Pamela?

03:45:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003439

Nasaan yung 40?

03:45:55Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003440

So, in other words, in 2026

03:45:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003441

natin,

03:45:58Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003442

wala na tayong problema doon

03:46:00Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003445

beneficiaries.

03:46:08Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003446

Ang magiging problema natin

03:46:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003447

is yung papasok na

03:46:12Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003448

230,000.

03:46:14Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003449

Meron pang dagdag ang problema

03:46:16Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003450

natin

03:46:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003451

yung funding requirements

03:46:20Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003452

ng PNSL.

03:46:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003453

Pero wala na kasi sa law.

03:46:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003454

So, okay lang po.

03:46:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003455

Pero doon,

03:46:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003456

are those enrollees

03:46:30Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003457

in the private university

03:46:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003458

na wala kasi sa law?

03:46:54Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003471

But ngayon, priority na natin yung

03:46:56Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003472

4Ps.

03:46:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003473

Tsaka ito,

03:46:58Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003474

yung total ang 14 billion.

03:46:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003475

We will submit to you

03:47:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

03:47:04Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003477

Overwhelmed yung amount.

03:47:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003478

So, yung nung una po,

03:47:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003479

well, anyway,

03:47:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003480

we propose based on

03:47:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003481

our projected calculation

03:47:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003482

29 billion pesos.

03:47:20Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003483

For 4Ps.

03:47:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003484

For Yuwakte.

03:47:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003485

For 2027.

03:47:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003486

Ang ibinigay lang is...

03:47:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003489

Nag-reconcile po kami

03:47:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003490

para po to limit the projection

03:47:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003491

with DSWD.

03:47:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003492

And, of course,

03:47:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003493

nandun ba si DBM noon?

03:47:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003494

So,

03:47:45Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003495

we reduce it to

03:47:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003496

14 billion pesos.

03:47:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003498

14 billion pesos.

03:47:52Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003499

And if we are going to total,

03:47:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003500

this will include the looks.

03:47:56Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

03:48:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003524

Kasama dyan ang Valenzuela.

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003525

Pamantasan ng lungsod

03:48:50Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003527

So,

03:48:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

03:49:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003536

with DSWD

03:49:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003542

Kaya sabi ko po,

03:49:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003543

this should be non-negotiable.

03:49:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003544

And priority.

03:49:36Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003570

That's the problem.

03:50:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003571

That's the problem because

03:50:33Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

of course, yung four piece,

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

03:51:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003672

03:53:06Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003673

Nalagay po namin dito yung

03:53:08Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003674

TDP kasi malaming nakapasok.

03:53:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003683

Dito may malaki pang problema

03:53:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003684

03:53:30Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003685

ongoing ngayon

03:53:31Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003686

na isinabmit namin

03:53:34Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003687

sa TDP

03:53:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003688

ay may

03:53:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003689

nag-request kami.

03:53:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003690

This covers 341,000

03:53:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003691

beneficiaries.

03:53:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003693

247 lang.

03:53:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003694

Ang ibinigay.

03:53:49Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003695

Kulang po ng 3.7.

03:53:52Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003696

Ito to to...

03:53:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003697

So kulang po kami ng

03:53:56Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003698

1.4 billion pesos.

03:54:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003699

Ito po yung

03:54:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003700

composition.

03:54:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003701

They are continuing.

03:54:06Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003702

So kung wala ito,

03:54:08Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003703

hindi na ulit sila mabibigyan.

03:54:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003704

So another

03:54:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003705

set of disappointments

03:54:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003706

which we hope sana na isold na.

03:54:16Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003713

Funded na yan.

03:54:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003714

Funded.

03:54:28Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003715

Ang wala lang kayo yung

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003719

Ongoing rin to.

03:54:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003720

Opo. So ito rin yung masks.

03:54:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003721

MUST.

03:54:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003724-split-2

We will give you po the breakdown of the requirements.

03:55:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003725

Kasi nung last year po kasi

03:55:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003726

we made sure na yung mga

03:55:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003727

ongoing TDP,

03:55:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003728

ongoing TES

03:55:14Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003729

nabigyan. Nabigyan naman po.

03:55:16Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003730

Pero,

03:55:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003731

kaya nagkaroon ng deficiency

03:55:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003732

kasi yung projected namin hindi na

03:55:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003733

ibigay. We have the record.

03:55:23Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003734

Kaya tinuhan nyo sa

03:55:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003735

ibang mga

03:55:25Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003736

babayaran.

03:55:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003737

Okay. Pinaglangsamp na diba?

03:55:31Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003738

May isa pa rin ano.

03:55:33Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003739

I mean,

03:55:33Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003740

may association

03:55:36Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003741

with ng mga

03:55:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003742

PNSL.

03:55:40Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003743

Nagre-reach out

03:55:41Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003744

sila sa amin, shares Shirley.

03:55:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003745

And apparently, may utang

03:55:45Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003746

pa tayo na 15 billion sa kanila.

03:55:47Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003747

Is this a validated

03:55:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003748

number?

03:55:53Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003749

This is for school year

03:55:55Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003750

2024,

03:55:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003751

25, and

03:55:59Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003752

26.

03:56:06Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003753

It was given by

03:56:07Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003754

the Philippine Association

03:56:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003755

of Private Higher

03:56:11Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003756

Education.

03:56:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003757

Institutions with no

03:56:17Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003758

tsuk sluks, test implementers.

03:56:20Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003759

PAPI for short.

03:56:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003760

Yan po ang inherited problem.

03:56:25Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003761

But is this a validated

03:56:26Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003762

amount?

03:56:29Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003763

We cannot

03:56:30Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003764

validate this because

03:56:31Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003765

there are

03:56:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003766

may we

03:56:36Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003767

just submit the reason po.

03:56:38Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003768

Oo.

03:56:39Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003769

I'm just saying they sent us

03:56:42Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003770

a letter.

03:56:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003771

Nangong-electa sila sa gobyerno.

03:56:45Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003772

But I'm not very sure

03:56:47Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003773

if

03:56:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003774

their claim

03:56:52Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003775

is validated.

03:56:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003776

Ganito po kasi.

03:56:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003777

In 2024,

03:56:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003778

2025, and even before

03:56:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003779

that, the policy for

03:57:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003780

PNSL, which is the

03:57:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003781

enrollees na nag-enroll

03:57:06Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003782

sa location na walang

03:57:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003783

state university.

03:57:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003784

Ang policy noon is that

03:57:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003785

they can only be allotted.

03:57:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003786

Correct?

03:57:14Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003787

If

03:57:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003788

they belong to 4Ps, that's

03:57:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003789

number one. And the budget

03:57:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003790

allotted to them is

03:57:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003791

subject to

03:57:24Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003792

the residual funding

03:57:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003793

after prioritizing those

03:57:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003794

qualified and lured in

03:57:30Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003795

SU. Ang nangyari po

03:57:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003796

ay parang

03:57:34Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003797

kesera-sera.

03:57:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003798

So there was no policy or guidelines

03:57:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003799

na kahit

03:57:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003800

mayaman siya

03:57:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003801

at ang reason niya is

03:57:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003802

wala kasing

03:57:45Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003803

state university within, nagcha-charge na sila.

03:57:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003804

So kung i-validate namin po lahat yan,

03:57:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003805

ang ginagawa na lang namin is

03:57:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003806

nagva-validate.

03:57:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003807

But we are going back to this.

03:57:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003808

So ang isang

03:57:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003809

solusyon na ginawa namin is

03:58:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003810

we made a policy.

03:58:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003811

We crafted a policy that there should be

03:58:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003812

a definition of

03:58:08Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003813

a private university qualified

03:58:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003814

for PNSL.

03:58:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003815

I validated [unclear].

03:58:14Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003822

May private university kasi, sasakay ka lang ng tricycle, may state university. So kasama yun sa radius, ng kilometer radius, kung gaano kalayo ang private university to be qualified for the PNSL. Meron na po kami yung policy nun.

03:58:38Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003823

Well, pinadala kami ng letter, so I'm just raising this.

03:58:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003824

Just look into it. I'm not sure whether that's validated or not.

03:58:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003825

Alam ko talaga na merong, dati kasi pag PNSL, sino-sino na lang kinukuha eh.

03:58:59Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003826

I don't agree with that. Dapat ang pinrioritize for peace.

03:59:04Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003827

I really don't agree.

03:59:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003828

So hindi rin natin alam kung sino-sino yung kinukuha or yung kinukuha ay natuto ba o hindi natuto.

03:59:12Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003829

So we don't know that also.

03:59:14Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-003830

Kung buhay ba o hindi.

03:59:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003831

Correct.

03:59:16Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003832

But they've been sending us letters.

03:59:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003833

So we'll furnish you with the letters just to validate.

03:59:23Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003834

I'm not saying na accurate yun or not.

03:59:28Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003835

Just to validate.

03:59:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003836

So moving forward, just submit to us, ma'am, yung breakdown ng TS and also the requirements,

03:59:41Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003837

additional requirements.

03:59:42Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003838

For TS, particularly for four piece, kasi based on our, based on our data, 230,000 ang hindi natin maabsorb na four piece and we have a new law.

03:59:58Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003839

Ang new law natin.

04:00:00Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003840

ang 4Ps. Dahil

04:00:02Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003841

sila yung pinakamahirap natin

04:00:04Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003842

mga kababayan.

04:00:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003843

Mas kailangan pa nila itong

04:00:07Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003844

educational assistance.

04:00:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003845

Because it's not enough na

04:00:11Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003846

ano sila, na walang

04:00:13Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003847

tuition fee. We need to

04:00:16Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003848

give them extra boost so that they can finish

04:00:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003849

their school or else magdadrop

04:00:20Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003850

out sila. Lalo na pag

04:00:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003851

pumasok ng college, hindi nakasali

04:00:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003852

sa 4Ps yan. Hindi na sila

04:00:26Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003853

kasal hanggang basic education lang.

04:00:28Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003854

So dito na magkikick in.

04:00:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003855

Pagpapasok in TES.

04:00:34Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003856

We welcome and

04:00:36Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003975

Republic Act No. 10931.

04:04:39Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003976

Maalala ko po nung

04:04:41Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003977

panahon ni former President Duterte,

04:04:43Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003978

muntik na po itong na-vito

04:04:45Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003979

itong batas na ito dahil ayaw talaga

04:04:47Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003980

ng mga finance manager ng karagdagang

04:04:49Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003981

gastusin.

04:04:51Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003982

Ngunit ipinaglaban po natin

04:04:53Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003983

ito noon. Finishing

04:04:55Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003984

ano talaga ito, hanggang

04:04:57Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003985

finishing line.

04:04:59Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003986

Pinaglaban natin at napirmahan po

04:05:01Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003987

ni former President Duterte.

04:05:03Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003988

Actually, alam ni Chair po po

04:05:05Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003989

iberang kwento nito. A night

04:05:07Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003990

before, may recommendation

04:05:09Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003991

na po ang mga finance manager na ibito.

04:05:11Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003992

Pero pinaglaban po natin at

04:05:13Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003993

finally naging batas po ito. Dahil sa

04:05:15Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003994

Davao mismo nga noon, meron pong

04:05:17Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003995

mga scholarship

04:05:19Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003996

programs rin po para sa

04:05:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003997

ating mga kababayan na mga may hirap.

04:05:24Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003998

At mas alam nyo

04:05:26Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003999

naman po ito, sa ilalim ng batas

04:05:27Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004000

na ito, ito po Republic Act 109

04:05:29Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004001

1, naging libre po ang tuition

04:05:31Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004002

at other school fees

04:05:33Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004003

sa ating mga state universities and colleges

04:05:35Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004004

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004009

of Filipino students have benefited

04:05:47Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004010

from this program and we hope that

04:05:49Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004011

even more young Filipinos

04:05:51Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004012

will be given the opportunity to pursue

04:05:53Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004013

higher education, particularly

04:05:55Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004014

by expanding the capacity of our

04:05:57Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004015

public universities and colleges.

04:05:59Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004016

Masaya rin po ako sa mga

04:06:01Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004017

initiatives ng ating mga

asr-004032

So yung iba yan, two hours pa po ang

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004033

biyahe. Yung iba, five hours pa po

04:06:37Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004034

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004035

sa inyong mga inisiyatibo na lalagay po

04:06:41Source

kung ano pong pwede naming maitulong

04:06:47Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004039

04:06:49Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

04:06:53Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004042

04:06:55Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004043

04:06:57Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004044

mga kababayan ko.

04:06:59Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004045

And sa tertiary education

04:07:01Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004046

subsidy naman po,

04:07:03Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004047

in 2023 to 2024,

04:07:06Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004048

barely 21.4

04:07:08Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004049

of the 749,204

04:07:13Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004050

total eligible students

04:07:15Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004051

from 4Ps have

04:07:17Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004052

received tertiary education subsidies.

04:07:19Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004053

Ito po yung test.

04:07:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004054

The recent law amending the Free Tertiary Education

04:07:23Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004055

Act seeks to give priority

04:07:25Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004056

to the students belonging to the

04:07:27Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004057

4Ps household.

04:07:29Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004058

Sana po pagtuunan nyo po ito

04:07:32Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004062

going to next year po.

04:07:41Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004063

But there are reports

04:07:43Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004064

that the releases

04:07:44Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004065

of most of the scholarship

04:07:46Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004066

programs have been delayed

04:07:48Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004067

preventing the assistance

04:07:50Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004068

from reaching the intended

04:07:53Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004069

beneficiaries on time.

04:07:55Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004070

Some students complain

04:07:56Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004071

that they received their grants

04:07:58Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004072

six months ago.

04:07:59Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004073

After they have been approved,

04:08:02Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004074

baka hindi na po nila ito magagamit

04:08:04Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004075

after six months na po.

04:08:06Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004076

Baka pwede nyo pong

matagal daw po nilang

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

May ilan pa nga po nakapagtapos na

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004099

pero hindi pa rin nila natatanggap

04:08:53Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004100

ang kanilang allowance na dapat sana

04:08:55Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004101

ay nakakatulong sa kanila habang

04:08:57Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004102

sila ay nag-aaral.

04:08:59Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004103

Moreover, CHED's budget

04:09:01Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004104

utilization rate in terms of

04:09:03Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004107

44.9%.

04:09:10Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004108

At an average, how long does the student

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

04:09:15Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004110

or any scholarship privileges?

04:09:17Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004111

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004117

Finally, within the semester

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004118

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004136

po at nabasa nyo at

04:10:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004137

naihahin nyo dito ang mga problema

04:10:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004138

until

04:10:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004139

2024.

04:10:14Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004140

Yan po yung problema na nadatna

04:10:16Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004141

natin. And we

04:10:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004142

we

04:10:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004143

deep dive in

04:10:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004144

evaluating kung ano yung

04:10:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004145

root costs. Nang bakit

04:10:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004146

totoo po na

04:10:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004147

6 months delay ang

04:10:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004148

nag-release ng scholarship,

04:10:31Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004149

sometimes 1 semester,

04:10:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004150

sometimes 2 years,

04:10:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004151

graduate na wala pa, or

04:10:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004152

worse, nag-graduate sila na walang

04:10:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004153

natanggap. Problem,

04:10:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004154

reason number 1 is that

04:10:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004155

during that time, hindi nila

04:10:45Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004156

ginagamit ang DSWD

04:10:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004157

data.

04:10:49Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004158

Second reason is that

04:10:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004159

there was a long, because they do

04:10:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004160

not use the clean

04:10:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004161

data of 4Ps

04:10:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004162

from DSWD,

04:10:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004163

it entailed them more than 90

04:11:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004164

days validation.

04:11:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004165

Pangalawa po, pangatlo po,

04:11:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004166

ang reason is that there is

04:11:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004167

a koa circular na

04:11:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004168

yung mga

04:11:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004169

schools na

04:11:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004170

hindi pa nakapag-liquidate

04:11:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004171

ay hindi madadownloadan

04:11:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004172

ng pera. Tatlong

04:11:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004173

problema na sinolve po

04:11:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004174

namin. Unang problem

04:11:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004175

is that ang una namin

04:11:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004176

ginawa is we met with DSWD,

04:11:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004177

we signed a memorandum

04:11:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004178

of agreement because

04:11:31Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004179

I am in a position

04:11:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004180

that the Commission on Higher Education

04:11:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004181

ay hindi niya po

04:11:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004182

trabaho mag-validate

04:11:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004183

na yung mga enrollees namin

04:11:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004184

ay 4Ps or not.

04:11:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004185

So, we had an agreement

04:11:45Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004186

na ibibigay nila sa amin

04:11:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004187

ang clean list ng 4Ps

04:11:49Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004188

at iyon lang ang gagamitin naming

04:11:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004189

data to award the

04:11:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004190

tertiary education subsidy.

04:11:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004191

Pangalawang problema po,

04:11:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004192

na 90 days validation,

04:11:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004193

we recalibrated the system,

04:12:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004194

we recalibrated

04:12:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004195

the process, ngayon ang

04:12:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004196

validation is from 90 days

04:12:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004197

to 20 days.

04:12:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004198

Pangatlong problema po is

04:12:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004199

the liquidation issue.

04:12:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004200

So sabi ko, anong kasalanan

04:12:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004201

ng estudyante

04:12:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004202

na beneficiary ng test

04:12:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004203

na nasasangkot

04:12:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004204

sa liquidation?

04:12:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004205

So ang ginawa po namin is

04:12:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004206

we partnered with Land Bank of the

04:12:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004207

Philippines para po

04:12:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004208

lahat ng beneficiary ng

04:12:31Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004209

TES

04:12:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004210

at TDP

04:12:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004211

ay magkakaroon ng ATM.

04:12:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004212

So we partnered with

04:12:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004213

the Land Bank of the Philippines.

04:12:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004214

Ang rason noon

04:12:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004215

na hindi nag-e-ATM ang mga

04:12:45Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004216

bata is because of the sustaining

04:12:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004217

balance. With the partnership

04:12:49Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004218

with the Land Bank now,

04:12:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004219

zero balance na po sila.

04:12:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004220

So this is working

04:12:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004221

well. So kung

04:12:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004222

kaya po

04:12:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004223

to date, out of the

04:13:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004224

886 beneficiary

04:13:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004225

ng TES and TDP,

04:13:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004226

750,931

04:13:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004227

students

04:13:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004228

now have

04:13:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004229

a ATM.

04:13:13Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004230

So ibig sabihin ma'am, meron na kayong

04:13:15Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004231

bagong sistema ngayon.

04:13:17Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004232

So naayos na po.

04:13:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004233

Ayos na po lahat ang problema po.

04:13:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004234

Wala nang delays.

04:13:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004235

Wala na pong delays.

04:13:25Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004236

CAS lang ang problema namin.

04:13:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004237

So ito po,

04:13:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004238

for the CAS lang ang problema

04:13:31Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004239

namin. So dapat sana matugunan

04:13:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004240

ang aming ginagawang pagbabago

04:13:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004241

transformation with the

04:13:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004242

speed in releasing the CAS para

04:13:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004243

po mapagtuloy.

04:13:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004244

Ang observation

04:13:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004245

niyo po na mababa yung BUR

04:13:45Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004246

namin, that is as of June

04:13:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004247

2026.

04:13:49Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004248

I have to emphasize

04:13:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004249

that the operation of CHED

04:13:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004250

is nasasang-ayon sa school year.

04:13:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004251

So ang first

04:13:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004252

semester ay nag-umpisa po sa August.

04:13:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004253

We can submit to you

04:14:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004254

now po as of September

04:14:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004255

yung budget

04:14:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004256

utilization namin. Tama po

04:14:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004257

na 40% ang aming

04:14:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004258

obligation,

04:14:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004259

50% lang

04:14:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004260

ang aming disbursement

04:14:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004261

because of the lack of cash.

04:14:17Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004262

So baka naman po

04:14:19Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004263

Sir Person

04:14:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004264

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004266

yung ATM nila.

04:14:27Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004267

Kung wala silang

04:14:29Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004268

hindi pa nila matatanggap yung

04:14:31Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004269

ibig ko sabihin

04:14:33Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004270

baka maaari. Pag-aralan nyo rin

04:14:35Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004271

ng mabuti. Baka

04:14:37Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004272

sa tagal nung matatanggap nila

04:14:39Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004273

na cash, maaaring

04:14:41Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004274

na masangla nila

Kawawa naman yung mga

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004278

beneficiaries natin na

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004280

yung exactong amount na dapat nila

04:14:55Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004281

matatanggapin. Baka yung iba ba

04:14:57Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004282

na wala talagang pera.

04:15:00Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Baka, tingnan nyo rin po ito,

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004287

Chairperson.

04:15:09Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004288

Since meron na kayong sistema,

04:15:12Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004289

baka, pagpatuloy nyo lang

04:15:14Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004290

rin po yung pag-follow up ng cash.

04:15:17Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004291

Importante yung

04:15:18Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004292

cash, syempre. Yun ang

04:15:19Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004293

mas importante na dapat

04:15:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004294

marilis kagad at magamit kagad

04:15:23Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004295

ng mga beneficiaries o ng mga

04:15:26Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004296

estudyante. Aside from your

04:15:27Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004297

new system na po,

04:15:29Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004298

na magpapabilis po

04:15:30Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004299

ng proseso.

04:15:33Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004300

Malaking bagay po yun

04:15:35Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004301

sa ating mga estudyante. Malaking tulong po yun.

04:15:39Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004302

Chairperson. Another

04:15:40Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004303

question lang po, no. Ito pong

04:15:43Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004304

free tuition is meaningful only

04:15:49Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004305

if our students can actually

04:15:51Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004306

get admitted. Habang dumarami

04:15:53Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004307

po ang gustong makapag-koleheyo,

04:15:56Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004308

dapat sabayan din natin

04:15:57Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004309

ito ng sapat na classrooms,

04:15:59Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004310

facilities, faculty, at slots

04:16:01Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004311

sa ating state, universities, and colleges.

04:16:04Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004312

Hindi dapat mangyari na

04:16:05Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004313

libre nga ang tuition, pero

04:16:07Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004314

wala namang mapasukang paaralan

04:16:09Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004315

o kursong naiskunin

04:16:11Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004316

ng isang

04:16:13Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004317

deserving na estudyante.

04:16:16Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004318

Chairperson,

04:16:18Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004319

Shirley,

04:16:19Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004320

with a continuing increase

04:16:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004321

in the number of students seeking

04:16:23Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004322

admission to our state, universities, and colleges,

04:16:26Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004323

paano po natin

04:16:27Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004324

masiguro na

04:16:29Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004325

sapat ang slot sa SUCs,

04:16:30Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004326

particularly in high-demand programs?

04:16:34Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004327

May mga

04:16:35Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004328

estudyante po na qualified naman

04:16:36Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004329

academically,

04:16:39Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004330

pero hindi nakakapasok

04:16:41Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004331

dahil limitado po ang slots.

04:16:42Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004332

For 2027, how many additional

04:16:45Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004333

students do we expect our

04:16:46Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004334

SUCs to accommodate?

04:16:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004335

Yan po ang pinakamahalagang

04:16:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004336

discussion po kanina.

04:16:56Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004337

Sir,

04:16:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004340

about the projection

04:17:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004341

and the absorptive capacity of our

04:17:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004342

students. So,

04:17:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004343

totoo po na out of the

04:17:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004344

1.3 million na nag-hahangad

04:17:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004345

na makapasok sa

04:17:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004346

state, universities, and colleges,

04:17:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004347

500 lang

04:17:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004348

ang natatanggap

04:17:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004349

namin. So, it is because

04:17:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004350

of the limited absorptive

04:17:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004351

capacity ng ating mga

04:17:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004352

universidad.

04:17:24Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004353

Wala pong university

04:17:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004354

dito na ayaw tumanggap

04:17:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004355

ng,

04:17:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004356

ng estudyante, pero

04:17:31Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004357

we are limited by our capacity

04:17:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004358

to absorb them. Pangalawa

04:17:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004359

po, while we want

04:17:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004360

all our incoming

04:17:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004361

college

04:17:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004362

students to enter in the

04:17:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004363

university, we have to

04:17:45Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004364

hit the balance between

04:17:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004365

accessibility and

04:17:49Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004366

quality.

04:17:59Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004371

Chairperson.

04:18:01Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004372

04:18:09Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004376

mahalagang bahagi ng academic excellence.

04:18:11Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004377

Dahil ang edukasyon ay hindi

04:18:13Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004378

lamang tungkol sa academic

04:18:15Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004379

performance, mahalaga rin po ito sa paghubog

04:18:17Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004380

ng values formation sa mga

04:18:19Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004381

estudyante upang maging handa sa kanilang

04:18:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004382

piniling profesyon. At malaki po ang

04:18:23Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004383

ambag ng sports

04:18:25Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004384

participation sa paghubog

04:18:27Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004385

ng disiplina, resilience,

04:18:29Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004386

leadership, teamwork, at

04:18:31Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004387

sense of responsibility ng ating mga kabataan.

04:18:33Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004388

At hindi lang po yun, pag tayo po ay

04:18:35Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004389

physically fit, mas

04:18:37Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004390

healthy po tayo. At isang paraan

04:18:39Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004391

rin po ito na ilayo natin mga kabataan

04:18:41Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004392

sa masasamang bisyo

04:18:43Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004393

through sports.

04:18:45Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004394

May I ask the chairperson

04:28:59Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004688

in EDCOM. Many, many times.

04:29:01Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004689

Na

04:29:03Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004690

we have to

04:29:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004691

have discipline among

04:29:07Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004692

our TEIs. Diba? Kasi

04:29:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004693

hindi lang sayang

04:29:11Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004694

yung binibigay nating subsidy

04:29:13Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004695

to run the TEIs.

04:29:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004696

But yung sayang rin yung oras nung

04:29:17Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004697

studyante kung hindi naman siya papasa

04:29:19Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004698

or yung quality hindi naman maganda.

04:29:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004699

So, may we get an update

04:29:23Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004700

on this

04:29:25Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004701

177 TEIs.

04:29:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004702

On the other

04:29:29Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004703

side naman, baka pwedeng tulungan sila.

04:29:31Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004704

Increase their quality.

04:29:33Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004705

So, but what we want

04:29:35Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004706

is a resolution on this

04:29:39Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004707

zero passing rates in

04:29:41Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004708

licensure examinations.

04:29:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004709

Yes.

04:29:45Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004710

Mahirap na

04:29:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004711

tanong.

04:29:49Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004712

I hope mapadali yung sagot.

04:29:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004713

Yes.

04:29:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004714

We are aware of that,

04:29:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004715

Sir SP. And to address

04:29:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004716

that, we partner with the

04:29:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004717

Teacher Education Council.

04:30:01Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004718

And signed a memorandum of agreement. And we identified those compliant university and colleges based on the standards set by CHED. And then we also identified those institution that offers teacher education with IR.

04:30:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004719

Meron na po kaming clean list niyan. And while we solve this ongoing problem on diploma, yes, diploma meal is real. That's one thing sure. So what we did is to give a, to stop this for a while while solving those on board already.

04:30:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004720

So we signed a memorandum of agreement with Teacher Education Council. And we publish in our website, we call this the tertiary.

04:30:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004721

Education Inventory, HEI, Offering Teacher Education Registry. Nandyan po, can you show? With institutional recognition. Para po mag-aidan yung mga incoming students na ito lang nasa list ng Higher Education Teacher Education Registry ang recognized at may COPC.

04:31:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004722

Nandyan na po yan.

04:31:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004723

So that's one action that we did. And now we are, we are now validating the numbers.

04:31:31Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004724

May mga pinaklose na po kami. Ito ang pinakamahirap na sagot sa mahirap na tanong ninyo. Meron na kaming 11 teacher education institution na napaklose. 26 programs. So we continue to do this.

04:31:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004725

And we are recalibrating.

04:31:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004726

And we are recalibrating our, our monitoring system. Meron na kaming conditional. Merong incomplete. May failure po talaga. Kung failed talaga, close. Kung conditional, we give them a certain that's the developmental part of our mandate. Kung conditional talaga, we will give them support in a given period of time but it cannot be forever.

04:32:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004727

After a given period of time, just like the student.

04:32:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004728

After a given period of time, just like the student's given one semester to complete, then close na po talaga. So ongoing po yan. But we need your support in here because this is not an easy time.

04:32:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004729

Yeah, I agree. I agree it's not an easy, easy job to just to close schools. Mahirap po talaga yan. Maraming nagagalit. Maraming, well, probably rebel.

04:32:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004730

But it's something that we need to do because we need discipline. At matagal na rin ho nating pinag-uusapan ito sa EDCOM.

04:33:04Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004761

So in order to produce quality teachers, we need quality TEIs. It goes without saying. So kung hindi naman mag-invest, hindi naman ito public or private. It goes both ways, public and private. So importante rin na we maintain quality among our TEIs.

04:33:20Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004762

Yes, sir.

04:33:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004764

Yeah.

04:33:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004765

And then,

04:33:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004767

um, uh,

04:33:23Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

04:33:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004773

yung kanina

04:33:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004774

ito yung ongoing

04:33:39Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004775

but we continue to support you

04:33:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004776

Shirley

04:33:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004777

to

04:33:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004778

have discipline among the TEIs

04:33:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004779

importante yan

04:33:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004780

the EDCOM will support you also on that

04:33:52Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004781

kasi yan yung isa sa mga nakikita

04:33:54Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004782

nating direction

04:33:56Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004783

there are many cases ongoing

04:33:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004784

to put on record

04:33:59Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004785

and we have created a nationwide

04:34:02Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004786

technical working group to investigate

04:34:04Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004787

thank you, thank you for that

04:34:06Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004788

so we go back to this in mga

04:34:07Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004789

low utilization rate, this is a question

04:34:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004790

between me and

04:34:12Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004791

the chairman

04:34:12Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004792

just yung mga ano lang, like for example

04:34:19Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004793

itong medical

04:34:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004794

return service

04:34:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004795

in both years kasi mabagba yung

04:34:25Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004796

kaninang utilization, 40%

04:34:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004797

and then also

04:34:28Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004798

71%

04:34:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004799

and also yung

04:34:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004800

financial assistance

04:34:34Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004801

post graduate, 17%

04:34:36Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004802

and then for this year

04:34:38Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004803

is

04:34:39Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004804

2%

04:34:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004805

so just the major

04:34:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004806

programs lang na mababa ang utilization

04:34:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004807

so

04:34:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004808

based on this data

04:34:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004809

mga ongoing walang problema

04:34:56Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004810

may additional slots kasi

04:34:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004811

for first semester

04:35:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004812

2026-2027

04:35:02Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004813

gaya ng sinabi ko kanina

04:35:03Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004814

yung

04:35:04Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004815

first semester 2026

04:35:08Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004816

04:35:10Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004817

August

04:35:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004818

so binabalitate lahat po

04:35:14Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004819

so ang new slots

04:35:16Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004820

is 490

04:35:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004821

beneficiaries

04:35:20Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004822

and then

04:35:21Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004823

based on the special provision

04:35:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004824

na nadagdagan, we have

04:35:24Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004825

1296

04:35:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004826

ang total po is

04:35:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004827

1786 slots

04:35:30Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004828

so sa MSRS po ito

04:35:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004829

meron na kaming

04:35:34Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004830

hindi kasi basta-basta qualified siya

04:35:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004831

this is based on the number

04:35:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004832

of we have developed an equation

04:35:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004833

Mr. SP

04:35:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004834

now this is

04:35:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004835

depending on the need

04:35:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004836

the doctor's need in the region

04:35:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004837

so kahit maraming applicants

04:35:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004838

region kung marami ng existing

04:35:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004839

doctor

04:35:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004840

prorated kumbaga

04:35:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004841

para po matugunan natin yung ating

04:36:00Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004842

requirement, need ng doctor

04:36:02Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004843

every region

04:36:03Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004844

in fact, Senate nagtaas ng amount nito

04:36:05Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004845

yes po, and thank you for that

04:36:08Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004846

and we do not want

04:36:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004847

na kesera-sera yung pagbigay

04:36:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004848

so we have already a system

04:36:13Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004849

and an equation

04:36:15Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004850

to distribute this slot

04:36:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004851

and then my last question

04:36:19Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004852

itong financial assistance to post-graduate

04:36:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004853

students

04:36:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004854

another low utilization

04:36:25Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004855

and these are for post-graduates

04:36:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004856

no?

04:36:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004857

how you can say

04:36:30Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004858

continue

04:36:31Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004859

yeah

04:36:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004860

is this

04:36:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004861

referring to the

04:36:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004862

teachers

04:36:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004863

post-graduate

04:36:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004864

to enroll in

04:36:45Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004865

counselor

04:36:45Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004866

it's a different program

04:36:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004867

so

04:36:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004868

as a different program

04:36:53Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004869

in any case

04:36:55Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004873

the one flash on the screen

04:37:04Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004874

so that you can

04:37:06Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004875

just submit to us the reasons

04:37:08Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004876

we're just flagging the department

04:37:11Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004877

na may mga programs na

04:37:12Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004878

high utilization

04:37:13Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004879

may mga high utilization naman

04:37:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004880

for example student financial assistance program

04:37:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004881

tulong dunong

04:37:19Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004882

but may mga programs tayo

04:37:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004883

na low utilization.

04:37:23Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004885

so we're just flagging the department

04:37:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-004886

on that one

04:37:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004888

04:37:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004889

and the major problem

04:37:31Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004890

in improving our disbursement

04:37:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004891

kahit nabago na namin

04:37:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004892

we develop the system

04:37:37Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004893

na fast track na namin

04:37:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004894

yung mga validation

04:37:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004895

ang bottleneck talaga

04:37:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004896

is the cost availability

04:37:43Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004897

cost availability

04:37:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-004906

on point yung itatanong ko

04:38:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004907

but more of I will just ask

04:38:05Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004908

for

04:38:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004909

submission of documents

04:38:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004910

para at the end of the day

04:38:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004911

I just wanted to make sure

04:38:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004912

that I'll be able to represent

04:38:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004913

CHED and SUCs on the floor

04:38:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004914

and in coming up with the

04:38:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004915

committee report

04:38:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004916

maraming nang binanggit kanina

04:38:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004917

ang ating mga kasamahan po dito

04:38:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004918

but hindi ko lang

04:38:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004919

mapapalampas siyempre

04:38:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004920

yung perennial tinatanong ko

04:38:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004921

yung job orders

04:38:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004922

and the contract of service

04:38:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004923

pati yung mga authorized

04:38:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004924

authorized plantilla positions

04:38:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004925

because CHED for example

04:38:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004926

has 791 authorized permanent positions

04:38:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004927

pero 545 are filled

04:38:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004928

leaving 246 vacancies

04:38:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004929

so

04:38:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004930

pag inanumang

04:38:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004931

yung mat

04:38:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004932

1 in every 3

04:38:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004933

authorized CHED plantilla positions

04:38:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004934

remains vacant

04:38:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004935

although maliit lang naman yung

04:38:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004936

denominator

04:38:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004937

last year if I'm not mistaken

04:39:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004938

1 out of 10

04:39:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004939

ang unfilled

04:39:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004940

position in every government position

04:39:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004941

right now

04:39:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004942

for this year

04:39:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004943

1 out of 13

04:39:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004944

nag-improve naman kahit konti

04:39:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004945

but hindi ko

04:39:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004946

hindi ko

04:39:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004947

iniiwan po

04:39:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004948

yung usapin na yan

04:39:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004949

and then the next would be

04:39:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004950

yun nga

04:39:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004951

yung permanent personal position din

04:39:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004952

sa UNIFAS natin

04:39:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004953

kasi when we pass the law

04:39:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004954

if I'm not mistaken

04:39:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004955

parang hindi ho masyadong nagbago

04:39:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004956

yung kakulangan natin

04:39:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004957

sa plantilla position

04:39:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004958

ng UNIFAS

04:39:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004959

so yun din gusto ko malaman

04:39:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004960

kung

04:39:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004961

it was reported to EDCOM

04:39:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004962

that only around 18 to 20

04:39:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004963

plantilla positions were added

04:39:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004964

so

04:39:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004965

in connection

04:39:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004966

with the UNIFAS

04:39:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004967

so we wanted to

04:39:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004968

find out how we can

04:39:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004969

look into this

04:39:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004970

because despite

04:39:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004971

its expounded responsibilities

04:40:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004972

191 or 24.5%

04:40:05Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004973

of the 779

04:40:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004974

authorized plantilla positions

04:40:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004975

of CHED

04:40:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004976

remain unfilled

04:40:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004977

so gusto lang natin

04:40:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004978

maintindihan po yan

04:40:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004979

because

04:40:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004980

also

04:40:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004981

ang CHED reported

04:40:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004982

that more than

04:40:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004983

a thousand job order

04:40:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004984

and contract of service personnel

04:40:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004985

so

04:40:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004986

we wanted to find out

04:40:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004987

how many of them

04:40:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004988

are performing functions

04:40:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004989

that are regular

04:40:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004990

in nature

04:40:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004991

continuing

04:40:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004992

or supervisory

04:40:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004993

in nature

04:40:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004994

and ano naman yung

04:40:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004995

plano natin

04:40:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004996

to address this

04:40:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004997

I think it's also being

04:40:37Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004998

flagged by COA

04:40:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004999

if I'm not mistaken

04:40:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005000

I had this

04:40:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005001

LBRMO report

04:40:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005002

na ibinigay po sa atin

04:40:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005003

those are the things

04:40:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005004

that might

04:40:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005005

arise during the

04:40:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005006

budget deliberation

04:40:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005007

so I think that's why

04:40:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005008

I just wanted to be

04:40:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005009

ready

04:40:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005010

dito sa mga

04:40:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005011

usapin na ito

04:40:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005012

so again

04:40:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005013

I'm sure you can

04:41:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005014

04:41:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005015

04:41:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

with these

04:41:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005017

issues

04:41:05Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005018

para masagot ho natin

04:41:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005019

and then

04:41:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005020

I think it's important

04:41:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005021

to note

04:41:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005022

that

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005205

are under review

04:44:39Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005206

it is very hard

04:44:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005207

for some

04:44:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005208

technical panel

04:44:42Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005212

technical

04:44:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005213

panel

04:44:47Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005214

na hindi

04:44:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005217

sa expertise

04:44:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005218

so yun po

04:44:52Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005219

yung isang

04:44:53Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005220

pain points

04:44:54Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

04:44:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005224

with me

04:44:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005225

so that I can.

04:44:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005226

I understand where

04:45:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005243

you're coming from. In fact,

04:45:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005244

that's the main reason, Madam Chair,

04:45:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005245

na nire-raise ko po ito

04:45:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005246

para alam natin. Kasi,

04:45:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005247

I've been in that position.

04:45:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005248

I was in TESDA. I only have one

04:45:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005249

lawyer in TESDA.

04:45:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005250

Walang takers kasi yung

04:45:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005251

position, ang salary

04:45:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005252

sobrang baba. Now, it's happening

04:45:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005253

with the COA

04:45:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005254

auditors. Wala silang

04:45:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005255

auditors. Hindi silang makapag-hire

04:45:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005256

because wala ang takers.

04:45:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005257

Dahil ang baba-baba. And that's why they're

04:45:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005258

asking for salary

04:45:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005259

exemption.

04:45:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005260

And

04:45:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005261

this is a follow-up question,

04:45:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005262

Chairperson Grupies.

04:45:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005263

Yung delay din

04:45:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005264

perhaps ng evaluation ng

04:45:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005265

987 Centers

04:45:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005266

of Excellence applications?

04:45:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005267

Is this partly because of

04:45:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005268

staffing shortage also?

04:45:51Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005269

Kulang po ng

04:45:52Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005270

technical panel.

04:45:55Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005271

Tulang po ng...

04:46:04Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005276

Sal ko kaibigan kita, eh.

04:46:07Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005277

Nagbigay ka ng data kay...

04:46:08Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005278

We will take this in a separate

04:46:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005279

04:46:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005280

I have this data, ma'am.

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005281

I have this. Because every year,

04:46:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005282

I look into this. I think

04:46:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005283

SP and the

04:46:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005284

Senator JV knows that I will

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005309

programs.

04:47:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005310

So, mahirap po talaga.

04:47:17Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005311

Mahirap po talaga.

04:47:19Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005312

So, we propose,

04:47:20Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005313

ang una ko pong ginawa noon is to revisit

04:47:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005314

the

04:47:23Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005315

organizational structure.

04:47:26Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005316

So,

04:47:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005317

proposed positions,

04:47:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005318

under optimization program.

04:47:32Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005319

We already approved it at the CEB.

04:47:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005320

We submitted it already for submission na ba?

04:47:38Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005321

Submitted to DBM.

04:47:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005322

To DBM.

04:47:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005323

Kailangan po namin ng 1,592.

04:47:44Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005324

Nandun na po lahat yung aming.

04:47:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005325

Nagbigay naman na po ang DBM.

04:47:48Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005326

At the executive level.

04:47:50Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005327

Nakakreate na po sila.

04:47:52Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005328

So, we will follow this up.

04:47:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005329

Okay. Thank you.

04:47:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005330

Just to keep on going.

04:47:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005331

So, yun din po ang problema.

04:47:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005332

Doon sa Centers of Excellence,

04:48:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005333

shortage ng ating personnel.

04:48:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005334

Ma'am, can I just get a confirmation if that is the...

04:48:09Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005335

Part of the...

04:48:11Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005336

But we have to revisit the guidelines for Center of Excellence

04:48:16Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005337

because with the changing landscape

04:48:18Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005338

of the challenges in higher education.

04:48:22Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005339

So, we have to recalibrate the criteria also and the guidelines.

04:48:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005340

But we already...

04:48:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005341

This is already...

04:48:29Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005342

This is an ongoing process.

04:48:31Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005343

And we deadline ourselves.

04:48:33Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005344

I hope we can.

04:48:35Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005345

That COE awarding will be on November 2026.

04:48:40Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005346

This year.

04:48:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005347

Okay.

04:48:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005348

Sige po.

04:48:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005349

Thank you.

04:48:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005350

Again, just to...

04:48:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005351

So, we can expedite the proceedings.

04:48:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005352

Yung kanina binanggit na ni SP Win yung sa seed fund na reduced.

04:48:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005353

And then, when you look at the

04:48:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005354

scholarship for Dr. Para sa Bayan,

04:48:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005356

it's higher.

04:49:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005357

Pero ang targeting ng beneficiaries ay fewer.

04:49:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005358

Yun po yung nakalagay sa atin.

04:49:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005359

Is this...

04:49:12Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005360

Ano po yun, Chair?

04:49:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005361

Yung sa Medical Scholarship and Return Service Program,

04:49:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005362

despite mas mataas yung budget na nakuha natin ngayon,

04:49:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005363

ngayong taon,

04:49:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005364

ang target ay fewer beneficiaries.

04:49:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005365

Nag-decline po eh from 5,087 naging 4,757

04:49:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005366

beneficiaries. Nandito po sa report

04:49:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005367

given to me by LBRMO naman.

04:49:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005368

pwede pang bigyay na lang sa amin kasi these are the things that I needed in order to defend

04:49:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005369

the budget .

04:49:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005370

Yeah, Mr. Chair.

04:49:57Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005371

We are taking notice of this.

04:49:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005372

Ma'am?

04:49:58Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005373

But we have data, I assure you that we have the data.

04:50:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005374

Okay, yeah, thank you.

04:50:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005375

And then another thing, I think you made mention about this, yung sa travel tax.

04:50:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005376

Kasi what if, tanggalin yung travel tax, abolish, yung Higher Education Development Fund galing po dito.

04:50:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005377

So pag tinanggal yun, gusto ko rin i-represent kayo na ang mawawala sa inyo ay ganito at maapektuhan sa inyo ay ganito.

04:50:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005378

Because 40% ng CHESA travel tax collections, I mean, accrue to the Higher Education Development Fund.

04:50:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005379

So pagka napasa ito, may panukalang batas po eh.

04:50:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005380

And if it passes in this coming fiscal year, again, affected na naman po kayo.

04:50:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005381

And I wanted to make sure na we're ready if that happens.

04:50:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005382

So perhaps if you can submit into this.

04:50:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005383

Yung projected annual revenue loss, yung mga programs and number of beneficiaries potentially affected,

04:51:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005384

amount of timing of replacement funding required.

04:51:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005385

At if ever this happens, siyempre ako, for me, dapat bago mangyari ito,

04:51:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005386

dapat kasama dito sa proposed budget for this coming fiscal year, yung maapekto ang programa.

04:51:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005387

So again, just...

04:51:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005388

Just for submission na lang po, no?

04:51:27Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005389

Yes, we will submit.

04:51:28Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005390

But for your information po, we, on the average, we collect 2 billion.

04:51:34Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005391

And this will, yeah, this will cover the funding for institutional development and enhancement, yung IDIG namin.

04:51:41Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005392

Yung academic program development and enhancement, internationalization, wala nang magtra-travel kung why layan.

04:51:46Source

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis

asr-005393

Research and development and extension, and then scholarship training and advanced degree.

04:51:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005394

Okay, thank you for that.

04:51:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005395

I think I was able to cover most, if not all of the things I wanted to cover.

04:52:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005396

Oh, one more thing.

04:52:05Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005397

Doon sa inclusive education and kasi kanina nabanggit din lang yung doktor para sa bayan.

04:52:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005398

I'm not sure if I...

04:52:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005399

Aki na, aki na yun.

04:52:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005400

Isa na lang, right?

04:52:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005401

You know, I, I, I, this is very personal for me because I have a kid who is...

04:52:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005402

in the spectrum, alam ni Doc Gapto.

04:52:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005403

Hindi po pwedeng, kasi wala doon sa law yung specialization eh, diba?

04:52:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005404

And we were tackling the budget of DOH last time.

04:52:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005405

And when we, when we were deliberating on the budget, on the bill ng doktor para sa bayan law,

04:52:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005406

I remember distinctly there are 209 municipalities with zero doctors during that time.

04:52:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005407

And then in regions, there were only like seven regions or eight.

04:53:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005408

And ngayon lahat meron na, except NIR na lang.

04:53:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005409

Napag-usapan na namin ni Dr. Tirso, you...

04:53:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005410

I forgot the name of the president ng...

04:53:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005411

Norsoo.

04:53:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005412

So yun na lang, ang hinihintay natin.

04:53:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005413

Ang tinatanong ko lang po is, kasi wala doon sa law natin yung specialization hanggang doon sa general...

04:53:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005414

But perhaps if we can...

04:53:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005415

do an exemption or perhaps come up with something.

04:53:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005416

Kasi medyo glaring na po.

04:53:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005417

For example, yung medical practitioners, child development.

04:53:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005418

I remember, ako ho personally, na-experience ko po ito.

04:53:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005419

Dadalawa lang yung doktor na nakilala ho dito.

04:53:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005420

Si Dr. Di Malanta ng St. Louis at si Dr. Lexie Reyes.

04:53:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005421

Na makatimed.

04:53:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005422

Pagka po yung bata maghihingi ng appointment,

04:54:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005423

one year.

04:54:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005424

You have to wait for one year.

04:54:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005425

Eh, nung isang araw po, nandun ako sa Minuyan Elementary School, doon po sa San Jose del Monte.

04:54:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005426

At sinek ko yung SPED program ng Department of Education.

04:54:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005427

And I already reported this to Secretary Angara.

04:54:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005428

There are about 100...

04:54:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005429

38 special kids doon po sa SPED program sa Minuyan Elementary School.

04:54:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005430

Dadalawa lang ho yung teacher.

04:54:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005431

And tinanong ko ho kung meron silang experience or they were able to at least somehow may diagnosis na yung mga bata.

04:54:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005432

Wala ni isa.

04:54:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005433

Nakamit ho ako ng isang parent doon.

04:54:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005434

Tatlo yung anak niya na part ng SPED.

04:54:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005435

Eh, ako na ho mismo.

04:54:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005436

Sasabihin ko sa inyo.

04:54:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005437

Senador na po ako.

04:54:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005438

Eh, hindi ko ako makakita eh.

04:54:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005439

Nang developmental doctor eh.

04:55:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005440

Dito sa Pilipinas.

04:55:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005441

Now, you want to go further ng problema?

04:55:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005442

PTs.

04:55:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005443

Occupational Therapies.

04:55:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005444

Speech Therapies.

04:55:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005445

Speech Therapy ko parang took me like four months bago ako ma-accommodate eh.

04:55:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005446

Four months.

04:55:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005447

So, iniisip ko lang ho.

04:55:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005448

Ah, hindi naman tayo.

04:55:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005449

Dapat siguro makulong sa isang box especially with this glaring problems that we are facing right now.

04:55:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005450

Yung developmental pediatrician.

04:55:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005451

Baka pwedeng masama natin sa scholarship program or kung merong program na, I mean, ng UP meron eh.

04:55:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005452

UP-USD, di ba?

04:55:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005453

Baka pwede tayong magkaroon ng item for that.

04:55:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005454

Ah, your honor.

04:55:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005455

Ah, your honor.

04:55:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005456

Matulungan nyo kami, ah, President Gigi.

04:55:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005457

Baka pwedeng matulungan nyo kami, President Gigi, no?

04:56:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005458

Ah, pwedeng tayong mag-alot ng funding for scholarship for that particular item habang hinihintay natin.

04:56:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005459

Kasi kung gagawa pa tayong batas, medyo matagal eh.

04:56:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005460

Mahirap na, ano, siguro let's be proactive in this particular issue.

04:56:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005461

So, yun po.

04:56:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005462

Yun lang po yung aking request.

04:56:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005463

Matulungan nyo kami dito sa subcommittee.

04:56:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005464

Anyway,

04:56:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005465

ang ating chairperson, Senator JV.

04:56:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005466

Kita nyo naman, nandito pa rin.

04:56:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005467

Ah, dalawa na lang siguro kaming senador na narin dito.

04:56:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005468

Alas otso pa ho kami ng umaga dito.

04:56:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005469

Pareho po kaming membro ng Commission on Appointments na merong tatlong committee hearings kanina

04:56:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005470

at nag-plenary session at nag-conduct ng hearings dito sa Senado.

04:56:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005471

Kaya we appreciate the presence of our Senate chairperson of the Committee on Finance.

04:56:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005472

So, maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat.

04:56:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005473

Mr. Chairman, I will welcome any motion.

04:57:02Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005474

Yes, thank you, Senator Joel.

04:57:05Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005475

Anyway, thank you to the KSUC families.

04:57:08Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005476

I know it's been a long day pero yung pong reduction nyo last year, we were conferring.

04:57:14Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005477

Kasi nawala sa atin yung luxury kasi last year merong flood control na 250 billion na may luxury na pinamahagi sa iba.

04:57:24Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005478

But ibang departments.

04:57:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005479

And yung CHED was one of those.

04:57:28Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005480

Kaya po nagkaroon tayo na ano.

04:57:29Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005481

But we will do our best para matis mahabol natin yung nawala sa inyo.

04:57:35Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005482

Because the last thing, we will always treat, dapat investment ang tingin natin lagi sa inyong education.

04:57:41Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005483

Be rest assured that masigip man, may yung elbow room natin is really limited.

04:57:46Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005484

But we will do our part.

04:57:48Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005485

We will do our best.

04:57:50Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005486

And di na alam ko, gabi na masyado.

04:57:53Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005487

Pero ano lang.

04:57:54Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005488

So, Senator Joel, marami dito.

04:57:58Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005489

Natanong na rin kanina.

04:57:59Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005490

Dapat sinagma.

04:58:02Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005491

Anyway, UP also got a significant cut.

04:58:06Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005492

Agni at Atty. G.G. is here.

04:58:09Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005493

UP PGH din kasama.

04:58:11Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005494

But we'll deal with it differently nalang.

04:58:13Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005495

Kasi po yun sa health naman.

04:58:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005496

Alam ko health yun.

04:58:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005497

But under kayo ng UP.

04:58:18Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005498

Yung sa maipip nyo, lahat we'll try to.

04:58:22Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005499

We will try.

04:58:23Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005501

We are committed to increase para makatulong din sa patients.

04:58:28Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005502

And initially, I wanted siguro, Doc Gap, yung initial investment nyo po doon sa Carbona.

04:58:35Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005503

So that we can help also.

04:58:38Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005504

Alam ko, UP, PUP, lahat nagkaroon ng significant cuts.

04:58:41Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005505

But we will try.

04:58:42Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005506

We will look into it.

04:58:44Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005507

I'm, I'm, I'm, be rest assured that we will, kami na Sen. Joel, we will always support higher education.

04:58:53Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005508

We will support the SUCs.

04:58:54Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005509

Hindi man natin kayang lahatin, but we will do our best, na?

04:58:58Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005510

Okay?

04:58:59Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005511

So, Mr. Chair, with that, I move that the, the budget of the Commission on Higher Education, the SUCs, be approved under this committee and submitted to the plenary.
