Thank you, ComSec, at maraming salamat sa bawat isa na nakapunta po sa araw na ito.

00:12:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000037

Maikling pananilita lang po.

00:12:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000038

Noong tayo po ay, siguro lahat naman nakakaalam na tayo yung nagsulong nitong Republic Act 11641,

00:12:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000039

or the

00:12:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000040

establishment of the Department of Migrant Workers Act.

00:12:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000041

Personal po sa atin, ang tagumpay ng departamentong ito,

00:12:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000042

kaya po every time we get an opportunity to look into this particular department,

00:12:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000043

how we can improve because there's a saying, there's always room for improvement.

00:12:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000044

Noong isinusulong po natin itong batas na ito, sinasabi po natin,

00:12:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000045

nagtatayo tayo ng isang bahay, isang tahanan sa pamahalaan para sa ating mga bagong bayani.

00:12:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000046

Sama-sama po natin,

00:12:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000047

Pinagsama-sama po natin ang iba't ibang ahensya sa isang bubong at sa ilalim po ng isang accountable leadership,

00:13:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000048

ang mga tanggapang dati ay hiwa-hiwalay ng pamahalaan.

00:13:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000049

Hindi lamang po ito lipat bahay o pagpapalit ng karatula.

00:13:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000050

It was a promise that wherever an OFW may be,

00:13:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000051

there would be one government home ready to protect their rights and assist them from recruitment,

00:13:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000052

to reintegration.

00:13:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000053

I was looking at the fiscal year 2027,

00:13:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000054

DMW and OWA have a combined proposed expenditure program of 11.615 billion pesos,

00:13:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000055

which is 129.8 million or 1.1% lower than the previous year,

00:13:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000056

which is this year, 2026 program.

00:13:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000057

And of this amount, 7.267 billion will go to DMW OSEC,

00:13:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000058

and 4.349 billion will go to OWA.

00:13:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000059

Sa budget po para sa ating migrant workers,

00:14:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000060

hindi po sapat na masabing nagagastos lamang ang pondo.

00:14:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000061

Talagang ang tunay na sukatan ay yung pong kung may OFW bang naprotektahan,

00:14:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000062

meron po ba tayong napauwi,

00:14:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000063

meron po ba tayong nabigyan ng hustisya,

00:14:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000064

at natulungan na makapagsimulang muli.

00:14:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000065

And this becomes most urgent whenever,

00:14:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000066

conflict erupts overseas.

00:14:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000067

Sa tuwing may kaguluan sa Middle East,

00:14:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000068

may OFW na naghahanap ng ligtas na matutuluyan,

00:14:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000069

at may pamilyang naghihintay ng balitang makakauwi ng ligtas ang kanilang mahal sa buhay.

00:14:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000070

Mayigit po isang milyong Pilipino ang nagtatrabaho sa rehyong ito,

00:14:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000071

kaya po mahalagang patuloy po nating palaksin ang kahandaan ng ating departamento at ng OWA

00:14:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000072

upang mabilis.

00:14:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000073

At sapat na matugunan ang pangangailangan ng ating mga OFW,

00:14:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000074

lalo na po sa panahong may krisis.

00:15:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000075

Central to this response is the Action Fund. And the reports that this representation had received from July 2023 to July 2026, the fund assisted more than 606,000 OFWs.

00:15:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000076

And from January to July of this year alone, it provided 2.95 billion pesos in assistance to 145,448 beneficiaries. And in response to the Middle East crisis, its 2026 funding was increased to 5 billion pesos.

00:15:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000077

Sa likod po ng bawat numerong ito ay muli, isang OFW na nangangailangan ng pagpapagamot, ticket na pauwi.

00:15:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000078

Agarang saklolo. And for 2027, the Action Fund must remain adequately funded and ready for both the daily needs of distressed workers and a possible large-scale crisis.

00:16:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000079

Now, looking at OWWA's Emergency Repatriation Fund, the proposed funding is at 977.8 million, which is 24% lower than...

00:16:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000080

than its 2026 allocation. Now, we must determine whether this can meet existing needs while preserving sufficient contingency capacity for, again, another emergency.

00:16:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000081

Malinaw po that our OFWs have learned, have earned that assurance. In 2025 alone, they sent home a record 39.62 billion dollars, US dollars,

00:16:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000082

personal remittances, supporting millions of families and strengthening our economy.

00:16:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000083

Kaya po, dapat sikapin nating patibayin sa pamamagitan po ng budget na ito, ang bahay na sama-sama po nating itinaguyod at itinayo para sa kanila.

00:17:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000084

Matatag ang pundasyon, sapat ang naglilingkod, bukas ang mga pintuan, at bawat piso ay may malinaw na patutunguhan.

00:17:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000085

Nasusukat din

00:17:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000086

ang resulta at OFW na tunay na natutulungan saan mang lugar na naroon sa mundong ito.

00:17:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000087

Muli, marami pong salamat. At this juncture, I will give now the floor to our good secretary, our good friend, Department Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac for his presentation.

00:17:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000088

Sir, you have the floor.

00:17:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000089

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair.

00:17:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000090

Sir, Senator, isa po kayong tinatanaw namin bilang isa sa founding fathers and mothers of the DMW.

00:17:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000091

Kung meron pong Mount Rushmore kaming itatayo sa DMW, Mr. Senator, kasama po kayo doon sa aming Mount Rushmore of Founders.

00:18:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000092

At maraming salamat po sa inyong pagtanaw ng aming mga achievements and at the same time areas of improvement, ang aming kakulangan ng resources.

00:18:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000093

37 billion po ang aming pino-propose at 11.602 nga po ang iginawad ng NEP.

00:18:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000094

Now, hindi po kami nagre-reklamo dahil malinaw po sa kabinete na ang aming direktiba at pinag-agrihan sa pong kabinete ay umayon po sa determinasyon ng ating mahal na kagawaran ng DBM.

00:18:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000095

At ang Pangulo...

00:18:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000096

Ang nagpapasinaya ng ating budget sa pamahalaan.

00:18:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000097

Kaya kami naman po ay aayon sa mga nakatalaga sa National Expenditure Program with some room for proposing.

00:19:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000098

At ito naman po ay aming nakakoordinate din po mismo sa ating mahal na Pangulo.

00:19:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000099

The President is well aware of our overall needs.

00:19:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000100

And that which can still be allocated.

00:19:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000101

In addition...

00:19:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000102

To the National Expenditure Program.

00:19:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000103

So, yun po ang mga iuulat namin sa inyo.

00:19:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000104

Pero si Yusek Niki, tutay po ang mag-pre-present.

00:19:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000105

Gusto ko lang po bago i-rekomenda na ipasa kay Usec Nikki ang hapag ay gusto ko lang banggitin muli yung Action Fund.

00:19:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000106

Ang dami po nating natulungan, Mr. Senator.

00:19:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000107

At alam nyo rin po ito na iuulat ko rin sa inyo.

00:19:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000108

So, daman-dama po mga OFWs talaga.

00:19:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000109

Itong Action Fund na alam naman po natin inyong isinaisip.

00:19:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000110

Itong Action Fund po ay bunga po ng inyong pagod at hirap na witness ko po ito mismo nung itinatalaga ang kagawaran.

00:20:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000111

At gusto ko pong iulat sa inyo, Mr. Senator.

00:20:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000112

Because of the Action Fund that you had so instituted.

00:20:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000113

Ay andami po mga OFWs.

00:20:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000114

Over 100,000 ang nakatanggap ng financial assistance.

00:20:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000115

20,000 ang legal assistance na nakatanggap.

00:20:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000116

Meron po tayong 25 legal retainers.

00:20:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000117

At hindi po ibig sabihin yan mga abogado.

00:20:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000118

Kundi law firms.

00:20:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000119

So, with 4 or 5 lawyers per law firm.

00:20:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000120

Higit-kumulang at least 100 lawyers ang tumutulong sa ating mga OFWs.

00:20:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000121

All around the world.

00:20:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000122

Especially in the places where they are most present.

00:20:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000123

In the Middle East and in Asia.

00:20:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000124

And meron din tayong around 12 in-house lawyers.

00:20:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000125

So, meron tayong internal and external counsels.

00:21:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000126

Sa medical, ganun na rin po.

00:21:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000127

Ganun na lamang po ang pasasalamat ng mga OFWs na tulungan natin.

00:21:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000128

By way of example, meron tayong mga cancer patients na unfortunately,

00:21:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000129

naging hurub or undocumented sa Middle East.

00:21:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000130

Pero dahil sa Action Fund, nakauwi po sila.

00:21:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000131

Nabayaran ang kanilang kautangan sa ospital.

00:21:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000132

Stage 4 cancer.

00:21:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000133

Nakauwi at nakapiling ang kanilang mga pamilya sa kanilang huling sandali.

00:21:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000134

At ganun na lamang malungkot na sila ay nasawi.

00:21:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000135

But ganun na lamang ang pasasalamat ng pamilya at mismo ng OFW bago siya yumao.

00:21:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000136

Dahil kahit papano kapiling niya ang kanyang pamilya sa kanyang huling sandali.

00:21:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000137

Ehemplo lamang po ito ng ating mga natutulungan.

00:21:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000138

Meron din po tayo nabibigyan ng tulong pinansyal sa mga nagsasagawa ng compassionate visits.

00:22:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000139

So halimbawa po, kung covered ng insurance ang compassionate visit,

00:22:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000140

ang tanong po ay paano yung sustento po ng isang wife na dumadalo sa kanyang OFW husband sa ICU.

00:22:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000141

Pagsustento, basic needs.

00:22:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000142

Yun po doon pumapasok ang Action Fund.

00:22:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000143

At ganoon na lamang ang kapanatagan ng kalooban ng mga pamilya, knowing na nakakadalaw sa abroad sa ICU,

00:22:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000144

nagbabantay sa ICU sa kanilang mahal sa buhay ang ating mga OFW families.

00:22:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000145

Ehemplo lang po ito among other things, Mr. Senator.

00:22:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000146

Dahil yan din po ang gusto ng ating mahal na Pangulo.

00:22:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000147

Direct impact.

00:22:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000148

Itong Action Fund should have a direct impact on the lives of our OFWs and their OFW families.

00:22:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000149

Kung mamarapatin ninyo po, Mr. Senator.

00:22:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000150

I will request our good USEC Nikki.

00:22:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000151

And of course, time also for our dear Admin PY to make our presentation.

00:22:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000152

Yes, thank you very much, Secretary Hans.

00:22:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000153

And I remember distinctly when we were establishing or pushing for this bill to become a law,

00:23:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000154

the establishment of the Department of Migrant Workers,

00:23:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000155

we really looked into this particular funding,

00:23:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000156

this item of Action Fund.

00:23:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000157

And I'm happy to note that it is serving its purpose,

00:23:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000158

especially in taking care of our migrant workers.

00:23:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000159

We give the floor to USEC Nikki,

00:23:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000160

the former USEC of DOLE,

00:23:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000161

now USEC of DMW.

00:23:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000162

That's why we're having a hard time with DOLE.

00:23:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000163

We'll give the floor to USEC Nikki.

00:23:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000164

Please, you have the floor, ma'am.

00:23:38Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-000168

So, as earlier mentioned by our committee sponsor,

00:23:56Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-000169

our budget sponsor and the good Secretary,

00:23:59Source

The budget allocated to the Office of the Secretary is 7.267 billion.

00:24:11Source

And its attached agency, OWA, is 3.349 billion.

00:24:19Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-000173

The 2027 NEP is lower by 26.058 billion

00:24:25Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-000174

than the Department's 37.674 billion budget proposed submitted to the Department of Budget and Management.

00:24:33Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-000175

Compared to the 2026 General Appropriations Act,

asr-000176

the 2027 NEP is lower by 129 million.

00:24:40Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

For the Office of the Secretary,

asr-000178

budget decreased by 193 million while OWA increased by 64 million.

00:24:50Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

Bago pa man makaalis ang

Presentation video

asr-000408

Pagdating sa ibang bansa,

Pero, may mga krisis

00:36:07Source

Presentation video

asr-000423

na biglang nagbabago

00:36:09Source

Presentation video

asr-000424

sa buong buhay ng isang OFW.

00:36:15Source

Presentation video

asr-000425

Sa Middle East crisis,

00:36:17Source

Presentation video

asr-000426

kumilos ang One Country Team

00:36:19Source

Presentation video

asr-000427

ng pamahalaan.

00:36:27Source

Presentation video

asr-000428

Nagsimula tayo doon sa mga

00:36:29Source

Presentation video

asr-000429

direktang naapektuhan ng kaguluhan.

00:36:31Source

Presentation video

asr-000430

Ang pagsaklolo sa ating

00:36:33Source

Presentation video

asr-000431

mga kababayang OFW

00:36:35Source

Presentation video

asr-000432

na naipit sa digmahan.

00:36:37Source

Presentation video

asr-000433

Mahalagang misyon ito ng pamahalaan.

00:36:39Source

Presentation video

asr-000434

Sa pangunguna ng DFA,

00:36:41Source

Presentation video

asr-000435

katuwang ang DMW OWA

00:36:43Source

Presentation video

asr-000436

at iba pang ahensya

00:36:45Source

Presentation video

asr-000437

agarang suporta,

00:36:49Source

Presentation video

asr-000439

at ligtas na pag-uwi ng ating

00:36:51Source

Presentation video

asr-000440

mga kababayan. Dahil ang

00:36:53Source

Presentation video

asr-000441

repatriation ay hindi lang

00:36:55Source

Presentation video

asr-000442

paglapag, kailangang may hatid

00:36:57Source

Presentation video

asr-000443

00:36:59Source

Presentation video

asr-000444

sa susunod na hakbang.

00:37:01Source

Presentation video

asr-000445

Sa Action Fund,

00:37:03Source

Presentation video

asr-000446

naihahatid ang agarang tulong

00:37:05Source

Presentation video

asr-000447

sa mga OFW na nasa

00:37:07Source

Presentation video

asr-000448

distress. Ang tugon ay

00:37:09Source

Presentation video

asr-000449

umaayon sa pangangailangan

00:37:11Source

Presentation video

asr-000450

ng bawat OFW at pamilya.

00:37:13Source

Presentation video

asr-000451

Sa

00:37:15Source

Presentation video

asr-000452

OWA Emergency Repatriation Fund,

00:37:17Source

Presentation video

asr-000453

may suporta bago,

00:37:19Source

Presentation video

asr-000454

habang at pagkatapos

00:37:21Source

Presentation video

asr-000455

ng pag-uwi. Sabi po ng ating Pangulo, di ninyo po utang na loob ito sa amin kundi bilang panukli at parangal namin sa inyong pagod at hirap sa abroad. Kaya tuloy-tuloy pa ho ang serbisyo natin sa inyong pagbabalik.

00:37:41Source

Presentation video

asr-000456

Sa dagat, may panganib

00:37:43Source

Presentation video

asr-000457

ding walang pinipiling ruta.

00:37:45Source

Presentation video

asr-000458

Sa bawat kaso,

00:37:47Source

Presentation video

asr-000459

ipinagpapatuloy ang koordinasyon

00:37:49Source

Presentation video

asr-000460

hanggang sa ligtas na pagbabalik.

00:37:51Source

Presentation video

asr-000461

Kasama rin sa proteksyon

00:37:53Source

Presentation video

asr-000462

ang paghahanda para sa trabaho

00:37:55Source

Presentation video

asr-000463

at buhay sa dagat.

00:37:57Source

Presentation video

asr-000464

Dahil ang pag-uwi ay iba-iba

00:37:59Source

Presentation video

asr-000465

para sa bawat OFW.

00:38:01Source

Presentation video

asr-000466

Para sa ilan,

00:38:03Source

Presentation video

asr-000467

panahon nito para magsimulang muli.

00:38:05Source

Presentation video

asr-000468

Kaya pinagbubuklod

00:38:07Source

Presentation video

asr-000469

ang mga ahensya ng pamahalaan.

00:38:09Source

Presentation video

asr-000470

Ang reintegration

00:38:11Source

Presentation video

asr-000471

ay hindi trabaho

00:38:13Source

Presentation video

asr-000472

ng iisang tanggapan.

00:38:15Source

Presentation video

asr-000473

May kabuhayan para sa hanap buhay,

00:38:17Source

Presentation video

asr-000474

kaalaman para sa bagong kakayahan,

00:38:19Source

Presentation video

asr-000475

00:38:21Source

Presentation video

asr-000476

at kaagapay

00:38:23Source

Presentation video

asr-000477

para maiugnay sa mga

00:38:25Source

Presentation video

asr-000478

serbisyong kailangan.

00:38:27Source

Presentation video

asr-000479

May puhunan, may skills,

00:38:29Source

Presentation video

asr-000480

may pagkakataong makabalik sa profesyon

00:38:31Source

Presentation video

asr-000481

o makapagtayo

00:38:33Source

Presentation video

asr-000482

ng sariling kabuhayan.

00:38:35Source

Presentation video

asr-000483

At hindi nawawala ang serbisyo

00:38:37Source

Presentation video

asr-000484

sa pagitan ng mga yugto.

00:38:39Source

Presentation video

asr-000485

Naroon ito

00:38:41Source

Presentation video

asr-000486

kung saan naroon ang OFW

00:38:43Source

Presentation video

asr-000487

bago umalis,

00:38:45Source

Presentation video

asr-000488

habang nasa abroad,

00:38:47Source

Presentation video

asr-000489

sa oras ng krisis,

00:38:49Source

Presentation video

asr-000490

sa pag-uwi,

00:38:51Source

Presentation video

asr-000491

naroon ang pamahalaan upang maglingkod.

00:38:53Source

Presentation video

asr-000492

Sa ating pagkakaisa

00:38:55Source

Presentation video

asr-000493

at pagtutulungan,

00:38:57Source

Presentation video

asr-000494

mapapanatili natin ang katatagan

00:38:59Source

Presentation video

asr-000495

ng ating bansa

00:39:01Source

Presentation video

asr-000496

at maisusulong ang isang mas maunlad

Ano po ang sitwasyon ngayon?

00:45:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

Ang 2027

00:45:31Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

00:45:33Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000580

milyon o 300 plus

00:45:35Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000581

milyon less than last year.

00:45:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000582

Ngayon po, on crisis

00:45:39Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000583

mode po tayo.

00:45:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000584

Pag tinignan lang po,

00:45:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000585

ang obligation rate,

00:45:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000586

average monthly obligation

00:45:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000587

rate this year, ang OWA

00:45:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000588

po ay nag-o-obligate

00:45:52Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000589

ng 206.6

00:45:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000590

milyon po.

00:45:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000591

Ito po ay kung ita times

00:45:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000592

12 nyo ay nasa 2.479

00:45:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000593

billion.

00:46:02Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000594

ang aming layon

00:46:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000595

ay of course, maging ready

00:46:05Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000596

but we also understand the limited

00:46:07Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000597

fiscal space.

00:46:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000598

And so we seek

00:46:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000599

that the ERF be at

00:46:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000600

a slightly higher level than last

00:46:15Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000601

year at 1.553

00:46:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000602

million. Because

00:46:19Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000603

last year po, wala

00:46:21Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000604

naman nung crisis pa.

00:46:23Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000605

Ngayon po, last year po, 1.2.

00:46:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000606

So yun po ang aming

00:46:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000607

request for the ERF.

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

At sa suporta po ng aming mahal na kalihim, gusto po namin madagdagan yung tinatawag namang medical retainers. Marami po tayo mga kababayan abroad na hindi na po nako-cover ng insurance o naging pasunang insurance, kailangan po nila ng medical support, libreng konsultasyon, libreng gamot, libreng laboratorio kahit po abroad.

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

00:56:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000797

Thank you, Admin PY. Before I give the floor to our colleague, our dear friend, Senator Erwin Tulfo, who was very instrumental in the, not only on the passage of your,

00:56:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000798

budget last year but also for the additional funding. Just wanted to understand, yung OWA, compared last year, that's less than 74 million, is that correct?

00:56:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000799

Or more than? Kasi may 300 something million ako nakita kanina eh.

00:56:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000800

More than.

00:56:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000801

More than.

00:56:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000802

Mr. Chair, more than.

00:56:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000803

So the total budget of OWA from last year to this year is decreased by how many? How much, I mean?

00:57:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000804

It was increased.

00:57:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000805

Increase.

00:57:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000806

By 1.48%.

00:57:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000807

Ito yung nakakalitong part eh. Napunta dun sa MOOE, for instance, no? I was looking at this 200.47 million. And this is for, this is an additional funding na wala namang item.

00:57:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000808

I don't get it. Kasi kung meron kang ganito pero wala ka namang item, then you won't be able to use it. Is that correct? Is that a correct assumption?

00:57:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000809

With the permission of the Secretary, Mr. Chair.

00:57:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000810

Um, in response to that, I think the Chairperson is referring to the personnel services. Yes.

00:57:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000811

Personnel services.

00:57:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000812

Yes.

00:57:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000813

Na merong additional 200.47 million.

00:57:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000814

Yes.

00:57:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000815

But then, this particular funding, wala namang item.

00:57:52Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000816

As of now, Mr. Chair, wala pa rin po.

00:57:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000817

Wala pa rin. So, there's no way you can use it, di ba?

00:57:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000818

Not unless, unless, maglabas ng item.

00:58:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000819

Yes, Mr. Chair.

00:58:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000820

Nalito lang ako sa policymaker.

00:58:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000821

Maglabas ka ng funding pero wala pang item. Di ba dapat item muna bago funding?

00:58:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000822

I mean, kami ni Senator Erwin, yun yung ano namin, edge namin as senators eh.

00:58:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000823

We've been the head, we were able to experience being the head of the agency.

00:58:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000824

Before you get a funding for that particular item, may item muna. Ito baligtad. May funding, walang item, walang plantilia.

00:58:29Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000825

Mr. Chair, if I may, the net difference,

00:58:34Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000826

uh,

00:58:34Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000827

is supposed,

00:58:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000828

is supposed to be for overseas allowance.

00:58:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000829

Yung ating pong mga dine-deploy na mga welfare officer.

00:58:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000830

The problem is,

00:58:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000831

the,

00:58:44Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000832

ngayon po, as presented earlier,

00:58:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000833

34 ba?

00:58:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000834

We only have 34 plantilia position for welfare officers po.

00:58:52Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000835

And, uh,

00:58:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000836

ang nangyayari po, Mr. Chair,

00:58:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000837

bumubunot po ang OWA

00:58:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000838

sa regional at sa central office.

00:59:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000839

At na,

00:59:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000840

honestly, nababawasan po yung ating ano do.

00:59:05Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000841

So, it means you were able to fill up all the available positions.

00:59:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000842

Di ba?

00:59:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000843

Not all.

00:59:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000844

Not all.

00:59:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000845

You mean, sir, the plantilla position?

00:59:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000846

Yeah, the plantilia.

00:59:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000847

All of them, sir.

00:59:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000848

All. Because, you know, that's the biggest problem now.

00:59:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000849

One of the biggest problems that we are facing in the entire bureaucracy.

00:59:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000850

You're looking at last year, one out of, uh, I mean, uh,

00:59:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000851

one out of ten. Ngayon, one out of thirteen na lang ang unfilled positions.

00:59:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000852

But anyway, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll ask some questions later.

00:59:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000853

It's just that,

00:59:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000854

I wanted to point out na this 200.47 million ay walang,

00:59:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000855

walang plantilia position to, walang item.

00:59:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000856

So, we can actually transfer this to another house.

00:59:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000857

Is that correct assumption?

00:59:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000858

Mr. Chair, theoretically, as, and, and, if I may add also,

00:59:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000859

as of now, um, the, the items that are not, the unfilled

01:00:00Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000860

items of OWA, which

01:00:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000861

is only around

01:00:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000862

60, are actually residual

01:00:05Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000863

items, meaning

01:00:07Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000864

they are the ones that

01:00:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000865

iniwan nung mga na-promote po

01:00:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000866

at inaantay po ang mga

01:00:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000867

attestation from the

01:00:15Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000868

civil service. So kami po'y tuloy-tuloy

01:00:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000869

sa pag-fill up nito, pero

01:00:19Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000870

every time po may mapopromote, maiiwan

01:00:21Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000871

niya po yung item niya. So that's

01:00:23Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000872

the situation we have.

01:00:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000872-split-2

Yes, I'll

01:00:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000873

stop on that. I will ask questions

01:00:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000874

later, but it's an alarming

01:00:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000875

figure to have

01:00:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000876

72% of your

01:00:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000877

workforce as part of

01:00:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000878

job orders and contract of service.

01:00:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000879

This is a bad

01:00:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000880

precedent and a bad

01:00:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000881

black eye to sa

01:00:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000882

gobyerno to have this kind

01:00:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000883

of agency. 72%

01:00:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000884

job orders

01:00:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000885

outside, all outside

01:00:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-000886

the plantilia position of OWA.

01:00:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000887

Yes, sir. And if I may add

01:00:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000888

as well, over 70

01:00:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000889

of them have been JOs for

01:01:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000890

more than 10 years because this is a

01:01:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000891

requirement of the optimization

01:01:05Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000892

law to identify such

01:01:08Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000893

positions.

01:01:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000894

A lot of them as well are involved

01:01:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

01:01:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000898

So, and even our

01:01:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

01:01:57Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-000918

Is this correct, Secretary Kakda?

01:01:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000919

Mr. Chair,

01:02:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000920

yes, insofar

01:02:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000921

as OWA is concerned.

01:02:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000922

However, there is the Action Fund.

01:02:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000923

The Action Fund

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

01:02:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000926

So, we have

01:02:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000927

2 billion from the Action Fund

01:02:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001119

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001124

OWA side.

01:08:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001125

And, yun nga po,

01:09:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001126

meron pa hong tayong financial assistance

01:09:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001128

Meron hong hindi na uwi,

01:09:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001129

pero dahil naapektuhan

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

01:09:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001136

na naapektuhan ng kanilang

01:09:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001137

trabaho. Halimbawa po yung sa hotel sector

01:09:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001138

na bumaba talaga

01:09:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001139

ang occupancy rate sa

01:09:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001143

that, yung grocery, basic

01:09:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001144

items po na binigay din natin, food,

01:09:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001145

01:09:41Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001146

Sir, last year

01:09:43Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001147

01:09:44Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001148

na nasa cruise ship

01:09:46Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001149

galing po ng Amerika. Kumusta

01:09:48Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001150

na po sila? Nabigyan po ba ng trabaho?

01:09:51Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001151

Nakabalik na ba ang iba sa kanila

01:09:52Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001152

sa cruise ship ulit?

01:09:55Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001153

Yung mga galing po ng Caribbean?

01:09:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001154

Ayon sa aming talaan,

01:09:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001155

ay higit kumulang ay

01:10:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001156

222 po sila

01:10:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001157

between

01:10:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001158

2025 and 2026.

01:10:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001159

Nabigyan po ng

01:10:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001160

financial assistance at patuloy po tayong

01:10:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001161

namamahagi ng financial assistance

01:10:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001162

sa kanila. Meron

01:10:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001163

pong iba na nabigyan ng

01:10:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001164

tulong in terms of

01:10:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001165

pagkahanap ng trabaho. But admittedly,

01:10:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001166

Mr. Senator,

01:10:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001167

hirap po silang makahanap

01:10:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001168

ng trabaho sa

01:10:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001169

cruise ship.

01:10:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001170

Lalo na dun sa

01:10:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001171

same area, sa Americas.

01:10:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001172

But we are still trying our best

01:10:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001173

to locate fine jobs for them

01:10:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001174

at this stage. Kahit

01:10:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001175

locally po o kahit sa hotel

01:10:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001176

hospitality sector. Halimbawa, tutal

01:10:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001177

nasa hospitality sector naman ang

01:10:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001178

cruise industry.

01:10:46Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001179

Pang huling katanungan na lang,

01:10:48Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001180

Mr. Chair, if you would allow me.

01:10:51Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001181

Secretary, bakit po ganun?

01:10:53Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001182

Marami po tayong

01:10:54Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001183

mga embassies

01:10:55Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001184

or may marami tayong mga bansa na marami po

01:10:58Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001185

ika nga OFWs. Pero wala tayong

01:11:00Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001186

DMW office. Meron tayong

01:11:02Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001187

migrant officers sa mga embahada

01:11:05Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001188

naka-station. Bakit po

01:11:07Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001189

ganun? Parang marami-rami

01:11:09Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001190

pa rin tayong mga lugar

01:11:10Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001191

na wala pong

01:11:11Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001192

my office of the DMW.

01:11:15Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001193

May mga officers

01:11:17Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001194

lang po na naka-assign sa embahada

01:11:19Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001195

na yun.

01:11:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001196

43 po ang ating

01:11:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001197

migrant workers offices and they are

01:11:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001198

all located in areas where

01:11:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001199

OFWs are highly concentrated.

01:11:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001200

So halimbawa po sa Middle East

01:11:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001201

kung saan 60 to 70 percent

01:11:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001202

of our OFWs are located.

01:11:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001203

Lahat po ng bansa sa Middle East

01:11:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001204

ay may presensya po tayo.

01:11:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001205

However, admittedly, Mr. Senator,

01:11:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001206

ang DFA, tinatawag na

01:11:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001207

Foreign Service Posts, are present in around

01:11:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001208

95 countries. And according

01:11:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001209

to the DMW Charter, may bubunuin

01:11:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001210

po tayo na

01:11:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001211

kukumpletuhin natin yun.

01:11:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001212

Mula po nung itinalaga ang DMW,

01:11:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001213

meron po tayong apat

01:11:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001214

naging additional

01:11:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001215

at meron po tayong napipintong

01:12:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001216

apat pa, hopefully

01:12:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001217

before by the first

01:12:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001218

quarter of next year. So halimbawa

01:12:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001219

po, merong kanina dumaan lang

01:12:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001220

sa amin yung bagong labor

01:12:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001221

attache natin for Guam. Kasi yun

01:12:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001222

po ang latest natin. Ang 44th post

01:12:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001223

po natin ngayon is Guam.

01:12:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001224

Kung saan, higit kumulang

01:12:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001225

may mga 6 to 7 thousand

01:12:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001226

Filipino workers po tayo.

01:12:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001227

So in the past, due to

01:12:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001228

personnel and budgetary constraints,

01:12:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001229

talagang nag-focus dun sa kusaan pinakamarami.

01:12:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001230

At any rate,

01:12:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001231

Mr. Senator, 90% of

01:12:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001232

where our Filipinos are, may

01:12:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001233

labat, may migrant workers office.

01:12:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001234

Dun lang po tayo sa around 10%

01:12:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001235

na balanse na

01:12:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001236

meron pa rin yung OFWs

01:12:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001237

pero mas county po ang bilang nila

01:12:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001238

and in the countries

01:12:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001239

na hindi

01:12:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001240

ganung kalaki ang demand

01:12:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001241

sa kanila, so to speak. But nevertheless,

01:12:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001242

under the law, we are required to cover

01:12:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001243

all 95 foreign

01:12:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001244

service posts ng DFA.

01:12:59Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001245

Mr. Chair, I'm going

01:13:00Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001246

and OWA

01:13:14Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001253

01:13:17Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-001254

Mr. Chair, on the Emergency Repatriation

01:13:19Source

Senator Erwin Tulfo

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001309

para masigurong mabuti at nigtas ang kalagayan ng lahat ng ating mga OFWs.

01:15:15Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001310

Number one, swift crisis response or immediate assistance for distressed OFWs caught in crisis

01:15:23Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001311

through the what we call Action Fund.

01:15:26Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001312

Number two, safe repatriation and reintegration for returning OFWs,

01:15:33Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001313

especially those who come home because of abuse, calamities, illegal recruitment or human trafficking.

01:15:40Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001314

Number three, healthcare and education support not only for OFWs but also for their families here in the Philippines.

01:15:48Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001315

And finally, number four, proper monitoring to ensure that foreign employers strictly comply

01:15:55Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001316

with labor laws.

01:15:56Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001317

Including establishment of accessible hotlines and digital platforms

01:16:01Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001318

where OFWs can immediately seek help in cases of abuse.

01:16:06Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001319

Mr. Chair, we must remember that every peso allocated to and spent by the DMW and OWA

01:16:12Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001320

is an investment in the safety, dignity and future of our OFWs.

01:16:18Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001321

With that, I have some questions.

01:16:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001322

Yes, Senator Rafi.

01:16:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001323

We fully take note of your...

01:16:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001324

Four points.

01:16:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001325

Swift crisis response, safe repatriation and reintegration, support to OFWs and their families.

01:16:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001326

And I think one of the most important points you mentioned is the proper monitoring of our OFWs while they are working abroad.

01:16:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001327

You may proceed with your questions, Senator Rafi.

01:16:48Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001328

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

01:16:49Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001329

Natataka ako, ba't binawasan ang budget ng DMW?

01:16:53Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001330

Malit na nga, lalong niliitan.

01:16:55Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001331

Anong nangyari?

01:16:56Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001332

Anong nangyari sa DBM?

01:16:57Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001333

Nasaan ang DBM natin dito?

01:17:00Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001334

Siguro walang kamaganak ng OFW to.

01:17:02Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001335

Bukta ng DBM na to.

01:17:05Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001336

But, yeah, 37.6 billion ang inyong proposed budget, Secretary Hans.

01:17:12Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001337

And yung Sagaan, 2026, na-approval 11.7.

01:17:18Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001338

Mas lumit pa pagdating sa NEP, DBM approval 11.6.

01:17:22Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001339

Ano pong binigay na reason?

01:17:23Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001340

Meron ba binigay na reason ng DBM?

01:17:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001341

Ah, Mr. Chair, ang sa pagkakaalam ko po, ah, mawalang gahalang sa DBM,

01:17:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001342

but ang pagkaalam ko, they were looking at previous historical utilization,

01:17:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001343

kung saan medyo mababata-bata pa sa edad ang departamento namin.

01:17:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001344

Ah, 2023, 2024, ah, utilization.

01:17:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001345

Pero definitely, Mr. Chair, ah, we hit our stride in 2025.

01:17:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001346

Ah, kung saan ang utilization namin, nearly 100%, including the continuing appropriation,

01:17:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001347

from 2024.

01:17:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001348

And then, definitely, Mr. Chair, ubos po.

01:17:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001349

Ah, kami ni Admin PY, ah, ubos ang aming pondo, ah, dahil sa U.S.-Israel-Iran War.

01:18:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001350

Ah, but mukhang lagpas na po yata sa utilization review.

01:18:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001351

Itong mga period na binabanggit ko.

01:18:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001352

At, ah, the DBM, ah, of course, ah, they are our partners also, ah, Mr. Chair, Secretary Kim.

01:18:21Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001353

Hindi ka nag-appeal.

01:18:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001354

Opo.

01:18:22Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001355

Sek.

01:18:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001356

Ah, nag-appeal din po, Mr. Senator.

01:18:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001357

Senator, ah, ah, we, we did as much as we could, ah, but, but, ah, yes, we, we sought

01:18:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001358

reconsideration, ah, but Mr. Senator, ah, myself and Secretary Kim are one team under

01:18:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001359

the President.

01:18:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001360

So, ah, I will always, ah, submit to, to the DBM's determination.

01:18:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001361

But, of course, we come, sumasumamo po kami sa inyo, ah, Mr. Senator, dahil, ah, 2 billion

01:18:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001362

po between Admin PY and ourselves, ah, 2 billion pong hinihingi namin, bali 4 billion pong karagdagan.

01:18:56Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001363

Mr. Chair, ah, kasi, almost every day, sa program ako, sumanda sila sa Action Center,

01:19:02Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001364

manayin pupunta naman kapag-anak ng OFW natin na they wanted to be repatriated, yung kanilang

01:19:06Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001365

relatives doon na inabuso kadalasan.

01:19:09Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001366

Ah, hindi maganda yung kalagayan at pagtrato at nakakaawa talaga.

01:19:14Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001367

Eh, nakikita ko naman yung DMW natin at OFW, ayaw yung, yung OWA, eh, nagtatrabaho naman talaga

01:19:19Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001368

to ensure na sila'y mapabalik dito.

01:19:21Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001369

At, ah, malaking pakinabang talaga ng mga OFW sa dalawang nabanggit.

01:19:26Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001370

Ito yung mga agency or department. The problem lang here is kulang sa budget ngayon sa nakikita ko. Paano silang makagalaw kung tali naman yung kanilang mga kamay when it comes to budget dahil imbis na i-consider ng DPM at pag-aralan yung kanilang proposed budget, pinutulan pa.

01:19:50Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001371

Now, Mr. Chair, dito sa 2 billion na nirequest nila, 1 billion sa Action Fund, sa DMW ito, 1 billion sa MOOE, and then sa OWWA, 2 billion, 500 for Emergency Repatriation Fund. Hindi pa kayong pagbigyan ito?

01:20:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001372

Mr. Senator, if I will be asked about it, I am fully supporting it and with your help, we will fight for it in the budget deliberation.

01:20:19Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001373

So how do we go about na i-push natin ito? Ito sa mga tinatawag nating makabagong bayani at alam naman natin kahit na noong pampanahon ay nagkagewang-gewang na ekonomiya ng mundo, nagkaroon ng world crisis, lumulutang-lutang pa rin tayo dahil nandiyan po yung ating mga OFWs na nakapack up, nakasuporta sa atin through their remittances.

01:20:40Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001374

Ngayon, kailangan nila natin tulong through the DMW and OWA. Siguro naman, we really need to support.

01:20:49Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001375

The DMW and OWA na sila nagkaalaga sa ating mga OFWs. So how do we go about pagdating sa budget deliberation? May ibigay itong 2 billion?

01:20:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001376

Yes, tama po kayo. Record high yung pinapadala ng OFWs na 39.62 billion US dollars in personal remittances.

01:21:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001377

Ang sa atin lang po ay alam nyo naman how budgeting works when you increase the budget of a particular agency or increase.

01:21:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001378

The budget of an item here, we have to find out saan natin na po pwedeng kuhanin.

01:21:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001379

Isa po kanina dun sa napag-usapan nga natin, isa sa nakita natin kanina, Senator Rafi, merong nilagyan ng pondo yung personal services pero wala namang item.

01:21:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001380

So mukhang hindi nila mapapakinabangan yung dinagdag na pondo dun sa OWA dahil wala namang item, wala namang plantilya.

01:21:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001381

So that's 200 million already, but according to our friends from OWA, kung malabas naman yung plantilya, kaya nilang punan ito.

01:21:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001382

So we'll find ways and of course with your help and the support of Senator Javis, our finance chair, he gave me assurance that he will join us later on today as we look into the budget of DMW and OWA.

01:22:14Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001383

Okay, thank you. Dalawang tanong na lamang.

01:22:17Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001384

Mr. Chair, Sec. Hans, doon po sa mga seafarers natin na ayaw maglayag dahil doon sa mga drone strikes, natakot sila, ayaw nilang pumalaot, ito mga tripulanting ito, anong tulong ang pwedeng maibigay sa mga ito?

01:22:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001385

Yes po, ang bilang po natin, Mr. Senator, Mr. Chair, is 1,500 po.

01:22:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001388

In the last three years, na itinalaga natin yung issuance natin, pagkilala ng right to refuse sailing, 1,500 po ang nag-manifest.

01:22:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001389

However, Mr. Senator, nakalagay po doon sa 1,500, nakalagay po sa rules natin on right to refuse sailing, they should not be discriminated against.

01:23:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001390

At ang magandang balita po dito, the 1,500 who have been reported to us and affirmed by their respective license mining agencies, hindi naman po silang pinagbabawalan.

01:23:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001391

So, as far as we know, wala pong naapekto hang nag-exercise ng right to refuse sailing dahil marami naman pong rota ang mga shipping lines at they are just merely transferred from one voyage, one assignment to another.

01:23:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001392

But having said that, yun pong mga umuuwi ay binibigyan po natin ng action fund benefit as they come home, Mr. Senator.

01:23:46Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001393

Second, saan pa mas mga kamura tayo yung marami tayong tie-up sa mga different hotels partners natin kapag may mga dumarating ng mga OFWs before they are sent back to their homes in the provinces?

01:24:00Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001394

So, chine-check-in sila sa tulad ng kabayano, hotel and all other hotels versus kung tayo ay magtayo ng mga accommodation houses.

01:24:11Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001395

Kasi paano kung puno yung hotel at that time dumating ng mga OFWs, marami sila, kunyari 20 eh.

01:24:16Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001396

Wala na palang room na available.

01:24:18Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001397

Kung tayo ay magtatayo ng sarili natin mga accommodation houses para sa mga repatriated OFWs papunta probinsya, which one sa tingin ninyo mas more practical?

01:24:29Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001398

Yung mag-tie-up sa mga hotel o magpatayo tayo ng mga accommodation houses?

01:24:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001399

Ako pong tingin ko po dyan at ito lumabas na yung issue neto ng COVID.

01:24:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001400

Kung ang scale po ng repatriation is a global pandemic o a global conflict, global crisis,

01:24:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001401

kung saan libo o daang libo

01:24:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001402

ang umuuwi, mainam po na yung private sector po ang mag-handle.

01:24:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001403

Yung hospitality sector who has greater expertise sa pangangalaga ng tao.

01:24:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001404

Katulad nung nangyari po sa COVID.

01:24:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001405

At hindi po kaya ng gobyerno na magtayo ng accommodation with let's say 1,000, 2,000, 10,000 rooms.

01:25:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001406

Wala po yan sa linya ng trabaho ng gobyerno.

01:25:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001407

I think in the past, sinubukan na po yan, government-run hotels.

01:25:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001408

At eventually, tinurn over din po sa private sector.

01:25:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001409

However, Mr. Senator, Mr. Chair, ay pwede naman po sa tingin ko, kasi ginawa na rin po ng OWA ito,

01:25:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001410

pwede naman po magpatakbo itong plano na rin ni Admin PY ito, ng smaller scale.

01:25:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001411

So halimbawa, kung 50 rooms, 25 to 50 rooms, pansamantalang paglalagyan, pwede naman po yun.

01:25:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001412

Pero on a bigger scale, sa tingin ko po, hindi kaya ng pamahalaan ito.

01:25:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001413

It's not sustainable.

01:25:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001414

At ang katapusan po niyan, Mr. Senator, Mr. Chair, ay magre-reklamo rin po yung mga tao na hindi nasa antas ng hospitality sector standards ang pangangalaga sa kanila.

01:26:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001415

So sa tingin ko po, on a smaller scale, yes, pwede po hawakan ng DMW o ng OWA.

01:26:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001416

Pero kung pangmalawa ka na po ito, sa tingin ko, the private sector is best suited.

01:26:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001417

to take care of them.

01:26:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001418

Kabayan Hotel, most notably, has been a foremost lodging space for them.

01:26:22Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001419

Si Mr. Chair, narinig ko, nagtatanong siya, galing sa kanya itong katanungan.

01:26:26Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001420

Ano na rin?

01:26:29Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001421

Ano na rin nangyari dun sa kaso ng...

01:26:32Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001422

Sa halfway house ni Mr. Ignacio.

01:26:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001423

Naglabas po ang Ombudsman ng resolution.

01:26:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001424

Una, recommending the filing of...

01:26:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001425

Not recommending, but directing the filing of a case for usurpation of official functions.

01:26:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001426

Dahil pumirma po siya ng deed of sale na walang authority ng OWA Board of Trustees.

01:26:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001427

However, dinispis po yung aspeto ng plunder at saka Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.

01:27:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001428

Na yun po ang minomotion.

01:27:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001429

Nag-file po kami motion for reconsideration.

01:27:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001430

At ako po mismo ang personal na nag-file nung motion na ito.

01:27:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001431

Kasi po, bahagi nung binili nila supposedly,

01:27:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001432

are condominium units.

01:27:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001433

52?

01:27:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001434

50 titles.

01:27:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001435

Na nung nagkabayaran po,

01:27:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001436

strangely, giniba yung condominium na yun.

01:27:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001437

Eh, ang problema, those titles were transferred to the government.

01:27:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001438

So, lumalabas.

01:27:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001439

Nag-ghost purchase po yung 52 condominium units.

01:27:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001440

Mukhang hindi po na-pass upan yun ng Ubudzman sa resolution.

01:27:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001441

Baka nakaligtaan lang.

01:27:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001442

Kaya sa motion for reconsideration namin, binabalikan po yun.

01:27:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001443

Kasi halagang 97 million pesos po yun.

01:27:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001444

Dagdag sa purchase price po na 97 million pesos yun.

01:28:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001445

Na kung pupuntahan niyo yung lugar, wala po kayong makikitang condominium na nakatayo dun ngayon.

01:28:09Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001446

Thank you.

01:28:09Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001447

At before I go, Mr. Chair, I'd like to reiterate again.

01:28:14Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001448

My full and firm support sa budget ng ating DMW at OWA at pagdating sa plenary sa budget.

01:28:21Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001449

I hope lahat ng mga kasamahan nating senador, especially you, na susuportahan itong dagdag budget.

01:28:29Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001450

Kahit man lang ito 2 billion, 2 billion sa DMW and 2 billion sa OWA.

01:28:35Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001451

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

01:28:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001452

Thank you. Thank you very much, Senator Rafi Tulfo.

01:28:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001453

It would be a great help to this representation and to the...

01:28:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001454

...the department of your help. Maraming salamat.

01:28:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001455

Let me, I don't know how to start, but let me, first things first, no? Siguro.

01:28:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001456

Una, thank you for your update dun sa supposed to be halfway house, no?

01:29:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001457

That's, what is it called? Halfway house for OFWs? Ano bang tawag?

01:29:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001458

Yan po ang tawag niya dun. Yan po ang tawag niya.

01:29:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001459

And precisely...

01:29:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001460

Yung tanong ko ni Sen. Rafi, Chair Rafi, yan po ang isa sa mga pinagdibatihan namin noon.

01:29:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001461

But all the same, I was not in agreement, which required my signature in a Board of Resolution,

01:29:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001462

but he still proceeded to purchase the property for 1.4 billion pesos without proper authority.

01:29:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001463

Let me go now to the possibility as to why DBM did not allow the...

01:29:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001464

...the increase in budget for both the DMW and the OWA, no?

01:29:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001465

I was looking at the budget performance and the institutional capacity of the department.

01:29:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001466

And in this particular...

01:30:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001467

data, the

01:30:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001468

DMW's 2025

01:30:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001469

obligation to appropriations

01:30:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001470

ratio improved to 85.5%.

01:30:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001471

And

01:30:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001472

that's good news. But

01:30:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001473

there's also 1.851

01:30:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001474

billion remained

01:30:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001475

unused. Now, yung

01:30:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001476

O1 naman, may 77.7%

01:30:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001477

disbursement rate

01:30:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001478

remained

01:30:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001479

below the OSEC's

01:30:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001480

85.6%.

01:30:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001481

So, ito

01:30:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001482

ba ang possibility

01:30:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001483

na dahilan? Because

01:30:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001484

I also agree na

01:30:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001485

we are still a new department.

01:30:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001486

There will be birth pains

01:30:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001487

for sure.

01:30:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001488

But of course, if we can

01:30:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001489

sway and

01:30:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001490

persuade and convince

01:30:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001491

our

01:30:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001492

counterparts in the

01:30:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001493

Department of Budget and Management

01:30:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001494

and this time

01:30:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001495

our

01:30:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001496

chairperson of the Senate Committee

01:31:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001497

on Finance as to how

01:31:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001498

will the DMW and

01:31:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001499

OWA will be able to

01:31:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001500

ensure that

01:31:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001501

improved obligation and

01:31:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001502

disbursement rates will translate

01:31:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001503

into complete and timely

01:31:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001504

services for our OFWs.

01:31:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001505

Can you give us

01:31:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001506

in short, my question is

01:31:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001507

can you give us ammunitions and how we'll be

01:31:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001508

able to convince

01:31:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001509

them? And again, as I mentioned

01:31:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001510

earlier, madali,

01:31:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001511

magsabi na magdagdag, but

01:31:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001512

it's even harder to look

01:31:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001513

for an item

01:31:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001514

na pwede nating tignan.

01:31:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001515

But let's focus on this

01:31:37Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001516

particular question first.

01:31:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001517

With regard to

01:31:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001518

budget performance, institutional

01:31:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001519

capacity, and the

01:31:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001520

disbursement

01:31:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001521

and utilization rate program

01:31:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001522

of the department. Secretary, please.

01:31:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001523

Yes,

01:31:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001524

Mr. Chair, thank you.

01:31:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001525

Well, we

01:31:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001526

generally rely on the DFA

01:31:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001527

and the DND for

01:32:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001528

geopolitical assessments,

01:32:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001529

political and security assessments

01:32:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001530

ng mga kaganapan sa

01:32:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001531

buong daigdig.

01:32:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001532

What happened noong

01:32:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001533

March, April, May, of course

01:32:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001534

was a war

01:32:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001535

of a global scale.

01:32:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001536

However,

01:32:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001537

we saw for ourselves that the

01:32:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001538

defenses of the countries involved

01:32:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001539

in the Middle East were very strong

01:32:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001540

in terms of protecting our OFWs.

01:32:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001541

But nevertheless,

01:32:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001542

12,000 of our compatriots

01:32:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001543

as reported by the President

01:32:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001544

sa kanyang SONA ay sinagot

01:32:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001545

ng pamahalaan at

01:32:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001546

naka-uwi.

01:32:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001547

I don't want to be

01:32:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001548

a

01:32:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001549

present a doomsday scenario,

01:32:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001550

Mr. Senator, but it's

01:32:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001551

always good

01:32:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001552

to be ready

01:32:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001553

in case it will be more than

01:32:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001554

12,000 persons

01:32:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001555

whom we will have to repatriate.

01:32:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001556

Kasi sa lagay po na yon, 12,000

01:32:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001557

persons at 20,000

01:33:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001558

ang binigyan ng kapirahan

01:33:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001559

sa abroad

01:33:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001560

na hindi umuwi,

01:33:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001561

ay naubos na po ang pondo

01:33:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001562

namin ni Admin PY.

01:33:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001563

So,

01:33:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001564

I don't want to name any

01:33:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001565

other countries, but the

01:33:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001566

political and security projections

01:33:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001567

are not entirely

01:33:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001568

optimistic

01:33:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001569

to say the least.

01:33:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001570

So, we have to be ready

01:33:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001571

for that.

01:33:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001573

Mr. Senator, Mr. Chair,

01:33:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001574

and not just for the Middle East.

01:33:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001575

So, kitang-kita naman po natin yan,

01:33:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001576

Russia and Ukraine.

01:33:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001577

There is mention

01:33:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001578

of tension in Taiwan.

01:33:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001579

So, we have to be

01:33:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001580

mindful of Korea.

01:33:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001581

It's another one. I mean, I don't want to sound any

01:33:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001582

alarms to our OFWs.

01:33:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001583

While our OFWs are safe

01:33:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001584

where they are, protected by their host

01:33:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001585

countries, I hope I'm not taken

01:33:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001586

mistakenly

01:33:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001587

about this. But, it's good

01:34:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001588

to be prepared, Mr. Senator.

01:34:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001589

Definitely, no? Yun yung gusto natin

01:34:05Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001590

i-point out dito na handa

01:34:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001591

tayo, hindi tayo nasusurpresa

01:34:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001592

at yung budget natin

01:34:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001593

flexible din kung may

01:34:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001594

kailangan gawin at

01:34:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001595

kailangan punuan. I remember

01:34:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001596

few years back

01:34:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001597

when I was

01:34:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001598

also

01:34:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001599

sponsoring the budget of

01:34:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001600

I'm not sure if there's a

01:34:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001601

department din, when I was

01:34:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001602

sponsoring your budget and

01:34:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001603

someone

01:34:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001604

mentioned or

01:34:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001605

suggested that we

01:34:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001606

touch the trust fund

01:34:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001607

of OWA.

01:34:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001608

And I vehemently

01:34:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001609

said no way because

01:34:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001610

we don't know what could

01:34:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001611

happen. And true enough

01:34:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001612

afterwards, yun na yata

01:34:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001613

yun, yung

01:34:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001614

nangyaring gera.

01:34:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001615

And that's why

01:34:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001616

I'm interested in that.

01:35:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001617

And but, you know,

01:35:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001618

looking at the

01:35:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001619

figures, and please

01:35:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001620

again, allow me to

01:35:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001621

share this with all of you because I'm a

01:35:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001622

believer of the department, supporter

01:35:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001623

of the department, supporter of

01:35:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001624

OWA. I wanted to

01:35:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001625

be adept

01:35:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001626

and I wanted to make sure

01:35:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001627

they have all the ammunitions that

01:35:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001628

I need to

01:35:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001629

defend the budget, defend

01:35:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001630

the request

01:35:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001631

of DMW and OWA.

01:35:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001632

Because if you look at for example, the

01:35:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001633

June 30, 2026

01:35:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001634

data wherein

01:35:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001635

61.98%

01:35:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001636

of DMW's release

01:35:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001637

allotments had been obligated

01:35:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001638

may natiri pa po na

01:35:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001639

5.82 billion na

01:35:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001640

available for utilization.

01:35:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001641

And then OSEC had

01:35:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001642

3.4 billion

01:35:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001643

and OWA has

01:35:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001644

1.625 billion

01:35:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001645

remaining.

01:35:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001646

Ito po yung galing sa LBRMO na ibinigay po sa atin. And I just wanted to find out kung ito ba ay still the same figure or I hope and pray na malaki na yung pinagbago.

01:36:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001647

And at the same time, if again, talking about ammunitions, if you can give this representation a program that would support your catch-up plans, kung ito man ay totoong numero and timelines that are in place, then we would be able to persuade them to support our request.

01:36:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001648

Yes, Secretary?

01:36:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001649

May I just make a quick addition?

01:36:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001650

Yes, and then we give the floor to Admin.

01:36:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001651

Another justification why it's worthy to invest in OFWs is despite what happened in the first half of 2026, ay lumaki pa rin ho ang remittances by around 2.5%.

01:37:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001652

Now, it's way off the projections by around 0.5%, but it's still positive. It's still on the positive side.

01:37:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001653

In COVID, remittances dropped by negative 1%. Medyo maliit pa rin. But still, on the positive side, and still affirms yung tinatawag na counter-cyclical nature of OFW remittances.

01:37:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001654

Ibig sabihin, hindi sumasabay sa pagbagsak ng global economy ang OFW remittances. Sa halip, nagbibigay, nagpapadala pa sila lalo ng halaga ng pera sa ating bayan. So it's very worthy to invest in OFWs.

01:37:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001655

Yes, there's absolutely nothing wrong.

01:37:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001656

With investing budget and support for programs and services for OFWs, because tama po, they sustain the economy as mentioned by this August Committee, Mr. Chair.

01:37:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001657

Yes, Atty. Kaunan, please.

01:37:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001658

Mr. Chair, with the permission of the Secretary, as regards to utilization of OWAS, may I first focus on the Emergency Repatriation Fund. Pangalan pa lang po, by nature, kung ako lang po, dapat ko sana.

01:38:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001659

In a perfect world, Mr. Chair, walang magasos noon. Ibig sabihin, walang naging problema, walang naging emergency. Every year po, iba ang itsura or landscape ng mga iba't-ibang emergencies that we're facing.

01:38:29Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001660

So, for last year, iba po ang last year sa this year at iba ang this year sa next year. But ang pwede po natin gawin, and as we have always done, is to be ready.

01:38:41Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001661

Because we don't know what's happening. One of the things that I want to mention, Mr. Chair, when we talk about numbers, is number one, both DMW and OWA, we already fully obligated and utilized our action fund and ERF, yung original po naming appropriation.

01:39:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001662

That's why we ask for supplemental for this year. On supplemental, Mr. Chair, 18% na po ng supplemental, which is on the part of the ERF, 700 million, 18% po doon obligated na. Ang unobligated na lang po ay 575 million na yun po ay napaka-importante kasi ilan pa pong buwan ang meron ngayong taong ito.

01:39:31Source

As to absorptive capacity of the agency of OWA, Mr. Chair, as of August 31, 2026, hindi lang po ang ERF kundi yung buong current appropriation ng OWA, ang utilization rate na po natin ay 72%. In other words, Mr. Chair, more than on track na po tayo para sa isang magandang utilization rate for the year.

01:39:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001664

But as I said, pag sinasabi natin, matatagal.

01:40:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001665

Masang utilization, Mr. Chair, ibig sabihin marami yung emergencies at maraming problema ang sinasagot at sinusolusyonan. So yun po ang special nature siguro, Mr. Chair, ng both action fund and emergency repatriation. It is really the cost of being ready.

01:40:19Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001666

And if I may add, Mr. Chair, this is on record. We have requested, we requested for supplemental budget for the emergency repatriation fund.

01:40:31Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001667

And I believe the action fund. As early as April of this year, we even, I think, sent a correspondence to the DBM as early as I think late March. March, which is three months lang pong nakalipas dun sa taong ito.

01:40:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001668

We already requested and we have received on the part of OWA the supplemental budget, I think by end of July or first week of August.

01:41:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001669

So, importante po sa amin na kung tatanungin niyo po ako, Mr. Chair, at the rate of utilization or obligation of OWA right now of 206 million of the ERF every year, every month.

01:41:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001670

Next year po, kung 900 plus million, mga ano lang po yan, mga 4.7 months.

01:41:29Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001671

At yung dinadagdag po namin 500 million, mga kulang-kulang 3 million. So, mga walong buwan po yan kung titignan yung utilization rate ngayon.

01:41:40Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001672

Pero nakikiayon po kami dahil alam namin limitado yung fiscal space. Babantayan po namin mabuti.

01:41:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001673

Para ganun po ulit ang gawin namin kung sakaling talagang mag-escalate po, we will not hesitate as early as even March or August to already ask for supplemental.

01:41:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001674

And ask for support from our partners in the Department of Budget and Management, Mr. Chair. Thank you so much.

01:42:05Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001675

Thank you. Thank you very much. And again, hindi kayo bibigyan ng supplemental kung mababa yung disbursement and obligation rate ninyo.

01:42:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001676

And again, I would like to put this on record that what we're doing here is to capacitate the chairman of this subcommittee.

01:42:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001677

In order for me to...

01:42:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001678

To answer questions, queries regarding the budget.

01:42:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001679

Now, before I forget, can we also be clear before the end of this budget briefing for the request breakdown of the MW and the OWA?

01:42:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001680

Mabigyan lang kami para makaano tayo.

01:42:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001681

And then, let me go further by talking about the...

01:42:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001682

Kanina hindi ko na na-bring up because I wanted to...

01:42:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001683

To be the last one to ask questions.

01:43:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001684

Although some of our...

01:43:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001685

Of my colleagues are saying that they will catch up with today's budget briefing.

01:43:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001686

Yun doon lang sa optimization plan.

01:43:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001687

I think you mentioned this admin kaunan in the secretary hands.

01:43:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001688

Pareho po bang nakasubmit ng DMW and OWA ng respective optimization plan?

01:43:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001689

If I'm not mistaken, the deadline is August 31, eh no?

01:43:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001690

August 31?

01:43:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001691

August 31.

01:43:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001697

And may we know what is the...

01:43:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001698

If you know, may status na po ba of the review, your honors?

01:43:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001699

But you were able to submit.

01:43:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001700

That's the most important.

01:43:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001701

We both made our submissions, Mr. Chair.

01:43:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001702

And then, you're looking at the...

01:43:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001703

Kanina na-raise itong 43 na, itong migrant workers offices.

01:43:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001704

Our personnel deployed to our MWOs, yung deployment niyan, will always be based on the number of OFWs? Or does DMW also consider yung actual welfare, yung legal, trafficking, yung detention and repatriation caseloads sa pagdetermine nitong staffing requirements, Secretary?

01:44:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001704-split-2

Yes, it's a little bit of both.

01:44:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001705

Medyo confusing yung sagot.

01:44:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001706

But I think, what I want to say...

01:44:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001707

Confusing din naman yung tanong.

01:44:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001708

So, I would understand.

01:44:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001709

What I want to say is, para lang makalanding muna, so to speak, we send a landing team.

01:44:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001710

That's actually what it's called in our parlance, Mr. Chair.

01:44:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001711

We send a landing team just to set it up.

01:44:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001712

But, halimbawa, in Cambodia, our landing team, how many?

01:44:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001713

So, we brought in a labat and two personnel for landing teams.

01:44:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001714

However, wala pa.

01:44:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001715

Doon yung team ni Admin PY.

01:45:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001716

So, pasok ang OWA, dagdag pa kami ng county doon to match the numbers na nasa mga scam hubs. But yun po ang system namin, Mr. Senator. Pasok muna kami, get the approval of the host government, pasok muna, set up shop, and then we will build as we go along to attain the optimal level.

01:45:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001717

Can you give me a brief, how do you call this, so I can have a bird's eye view on how you make that decision and the personnel involved sa pagbuo ng isang opisina?

01:45:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001718

Because right now we have 43 and you were saying 90 plus percent na Filipinos abroad are being catered by these offices.

01:45:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001719

And if you are to add, ano yung magiging basis?

01:45:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001720

Siguro yung ano lang, how do I say this? Siguro yung skeletal lang, papano pagbuo, yung dalawa, yung binanggit nyo kanina na dalawa, dalawa, etc.

01:46:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001721

Para lang magkaroon lang ako ng idea. Just submit this to the committee.

01:46:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001722

Now, let me go to itong Action Fund and Emergency Protection.

01:46:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001723

I think all of us are aware as to why we badly want this item ng Action Fund, Agarang Kalinga at Saklolo para sa mga OFWs na...

01:46:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001724

Okay, let me acknowledge the presence of our chairman of the Committee on Finance, Senator J.V. Ejercito.

01:46:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001725

Kita mo naman, grabe yung arrival mo. Talagang pinaganda ang kanya.

01:46:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001726

Bago akong pagpatuloy, I will give the floor.

01:46:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001727

To our chairman, just to put on record, nabawasan yung budget nila despite the fact, Mr. Chairman, na humingi sila ng supplemental budget dahil nga sa nangyaring, hindi inaasahang pangyayari dito sa Middle East at marami pang crisis na kinakaharap worldwide.

01:47:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001728

But to give them credit, Mr. Chairman, they were able to meet the standards.

01:47:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001729

And the requirements being asked of them.

01:47:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001730

But despite the fact, nabawasan pa rin sila and may request sila na pondo para dito sa Action Fund at yung sa OWA, yung sa repatriation.

01:47:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001731

And we will bring this to your attention, Mr. Chairman.

01:47:40Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001732

Kaya we give the floor to you now, Mr. Chairman.

01:47:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001733

Senator J.V. Ejercito, one of the champions in fighting for the rights of our migrant workers.

01:47:49Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

I'm also chairing right now, simultaneous na kasi yung, yung dep-dep, biniwang ko lang si Senator Tull for asking questions.

01:48:06Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001738

But I have to, I saw that I have to be here to give support because I was the first one to defend the budget, the very first budget of DMW.

01:48:18Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001739

Kaya ano, thank you, Mr. Chair.

01:48:20Source

asr-001740

Kaya ano, alam mo, mula nung naging finalist.

01:48:22Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001741

Kaya sa chair ako, mas malakas sa balakpak ko sa lahat eh.

01:48:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001742

Kahit kanino, kahit na, kahit na, ano, kahit na,

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001743

Bailivic ni Centorec ni E.S. Ralph, nandun na kami sa Batangas.

01:48:36Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001744

Ano niya na yun, di ba, kumbaga, home province, pero mas malakas sa balakpak sa akin.

01:48:42Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001745

Anyway, anyway, tama yung, ano, nabanggit ng ating chair.

01:48:46Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001746

That's why I wanted to be here.

01:48:48Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001747

Yung, yung,

01:48:50Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001748

yung,

01:48:50Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001749

just a few things.

01:48:53Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001750

Sa Repatriation Fund, no,

01:48:56Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001751

OWASP Emergency Repatriation Program decreased by 41%.

01:49:00Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001752

Tama, no?

01:49:01Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001753

308.7 million for 2026 compared to its current appropriation this year.

01:49:08Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001754

Considering the ongoing conflicts in the different parts of the world right now where our OFWs are,

01:49:14Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001755

may not, it may not be prudent to decrease the funding for the repatriation.

01:49:20Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001756

Program of the agency.

01:49:22Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001757

Can OWASP share its current repatriation efforts?

01:49:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001758

And as of September 15, 758 million of OWWA ERP budget remained unobligated.

01:49:34Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001759

So, based on OWASP's current repatriation effort, will it fully be utilized?

01:49:39Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001760

It's available, will it fully utilize its available appropriation for the program by year end?

01:49:43Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001761

So, yung sigurang rason dahil, ano, unobligated, no, 758 million.

01:49:49Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001762

So, ano yung repatriation?

01:49:50Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001763

Repatriation efforts and what are the efforts for, to fully utilize its available repatriation, appropriation?

01:50:02Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

Mr. Chair, Mr. Chair, with the permission of the Secretary,

01:50:06Source

to address the concern raised by our former sponsor and now committee chair of the Finance Committee.

01:50:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001766

Sir, ang ating ERF po sa ngayon, sa taon ngayon,

01:50:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001767

ay,

01:50:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001768

100% na po yung aming obligation rate patungkol sa continuing appropriations.

01:50:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001769

At yung sa current appropriations naman po,

01:50:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001770

ay ganun din.

01:50:34Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001771

Actually, Mr. Chair, nandun na po kami sa supplemental.

01:50:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001772

Sa supplemental po, na 700 million na ibinigay po sa amin,

01:50:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001773

simula nitong kuling linggo ng July,

01:50:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001774

18% na po doon ay obligated.

01:50:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001775

So, ang natitira na lang,

01:50:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001776

sa aming unobligated balance,

01:50:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001777

ay nasa 575 million.

01:50:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001778

Ano na po ang nagawa natin mula January to August 2026?

01:51:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001779

Nakapagbigay po tayo ng 159,389 services po dito.

01:51:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001780

Ang mga serbisyo po ng OWA, sa alam po ninyo, Mr. Chair,

01:51:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001781

ay airfare, airport assistance, transportation, shelter, food,

01:51:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001782

financial assistance,

01:51:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001783

at iba pa po, Mr. Chair.

01:51:23Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001784

Ang concern po namin,

01:51:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001785

sa taon pong 2026,

01:51:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001786

ang average obligation rate po monthly, Mr. Chair, ngayon,

01:51:33Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001787

dahil ho sa ongoing na krisis sa gitnang silangan,

01:51:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001788

at iba pa pong mga emergencies,

01:51:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001789

ay nasa 206 million kada buwan.

01:51:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001790

At kung susumahin nyo po yun sa isang taon,

01:51:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001791

2.479 billion po yan.

01:51:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001792

Currently, as we speak,

01:51:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001793

Mr. Chair, as of the end of August this year po,

01:51:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001794

ay nasa around 1.7 billion na po,

01:52:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001795

or way above the current appropriations of OWA.

01:52:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001796

I-add mo po po yung continuing, tapos ngayon po yung supplemental.

01:52:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001797

So, Mr. Chair, kung susumahin, isa lang po ang mensahe namin dito patungkol sa ERF.

01:52:19Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001798

Lahat ho ng paghahanda,

01:52:21Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001803

In the past,

01:52:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001804

kung titignan ng 2025,

01:52:25Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001805

hindi ho siya masyadong nagamit katulad this year,

01:52:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001806

kasi hindi ho nangyari yung ganto ka-laking emergency.

01:52:33Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001807

Kami po sa OWA at sa DMW,

01:52:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001808

gusto ho namin, lagi kaming handa.

01:52:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001839

kalaking krisis.

01:53:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001840

Ngayon po, ang NEP namin

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001841

01:53:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001842

01:53:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

Ang ideal pong

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001849

575 million.

01:54:08Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001850

Ibig sabihin po, Mr. Chair,

01:54:11Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001851

hindi po siya kapantay

01:54:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001852

ng

01:54:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001853

2025

01:54:16Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001854

or

01:54:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001855

2026.

01:54:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001856

Ngunit slightly higher po by around

01:54:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001857

300 million, Mr. Chair.

01:54:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001858

Hindi po namin hihingin sa ngayon

01:54:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001859

yung todo na,

01:54:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001860

Mr. Chair, which is

01:54:30Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001861

kung i-divide nyo po

01:54:33Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001862

yung na-obligate na ng OWA

01:54:34Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001863

ngayon sa buwan na nagamit,

01:54:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001864

nasa 206 million po

01:54:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001865

kada buwan ang ino-obligate natin.

01:54:41Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001866

Kung ita times 12 po yun,

01:54:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001867

higit kumulang

01:54:44Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001868

2.5 billion po yun, Mr. Chair.

01:54:48Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001869

Thank you.

01:54:50Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001870

So, 1.5 billion yung inyong recommended

01:54:52Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001871

for 2027.

01:54:55Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001872

Although, it's very important.

01:54:56Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001873

We understand the predicament.

01:54:58Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001874

Ako rin, I sympathize, of course,

01:55:00Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001875

with RDMW, especially with the

01:55:02Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001876

current situation, with all these

01:55:04Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001877

conflicts all over the world. Kailangan

01:55:06Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001878

maiwi natin sila kung talagang

01:55:08Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001879

sila naman nasa panganib.

01:55:11Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001880

No? Hindi naman natin

01:55:12Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001881

pwedeng lagi na lang

01:55:13Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001882

tinatawag silang

01:55:16Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001883

bagong bayani.

01:55:19Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001884

Pero sa oras ang kagipit,

01:55:20Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001885

dapat nandun din tayo.

01:55:22Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001886

So, 1.5 billion.

01:55:24Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001887

Ang problema lang natin talaga ngayon,

01:55:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001888

our fiscal space is really very limited.

01:55:28Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001889

So, we want to know yung pong

01:55:30Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001890

kanyong lago tinatanong yun, bare minimum.

01:55:33Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001891

Pero, be us assured

01:55:34Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001892

that hindi natin pwedeng pabayaan ng

01:55:35Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001893

OFWs natin.

01:55:39Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001894

Siguro, isa na lang

01:55:40Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001895

kay Secretary Kakdak,

01:55:42Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001896

yung Action Fund,

01:55:43Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001897

additional 1 billion is being

01:55:45Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001898

requested. Tama?

01:55:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001899

Yes, Chairman. You have all the time

01:55:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001900

to ask questions.

01:55:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001901

We're giving you all the time.

01:55:52Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001902

Yeah, I'm just telling them,

01:55:54Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001903

Mr. Vice Chair, na yung nire-request nila,

01:55:56Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001904

hindi ko na mapangako, may bibigay.

01:55:58Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001905

Pero, sige lang po. Gusto natin mapakinggan.

01:56:02Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001906

Kaya nga rin tayo

01:56:02Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001907

nagkakaroon ng budget hearing. Kasi nga po,

01:56:05Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001908

pag natatapyasan,

01:56:07Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001909

mayroon mga bagay na talagang

01:56:09Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001910

hindi yung

01:56:10Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001911

kaya kayo, kailangan marinig namin

01:56:12Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001912

from the departments

01:56:13Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001913

and agencies, kung ano po yung mga

01:56:16Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001914

bagay na hindi sana pwedeng

01:56:19Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001915

maapektong.

01:56:20Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001916

Kaya nga, bare minimum, yung ating

01:56:22Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001917

hinihingi, dahil

01:56:24Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001918

masigip talaga ngayon eh, na sobrang

01:56:26Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001919

bagsak ang ating revenues

01:56:28Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001920

dahil sa flood control na yan, lahat

01:56:30Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001921

hanggang ngayon, bumagsak ang

01:56:32Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001922

GDP natin. So, yung ating

01:56:35Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001923

pung elbow room, napakaliit.

01:56:37Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001924

Pero, ganun pa man,

01:56:39Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001925

kung kailangan gawa ng paraan,

01:56:40Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001926

gagawin natin, gagawin natin ng paraan.

01:56:42Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001927

So, yung pong ano, no, 1 billion,

01:56:45Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001928

so, compared to the decrease in allocation

01:56:46Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001929

of OWAS ERP, the MWS Action Fund

01:56:49Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001930

has retained,

01:56:49Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001931

has retained its 2 billion

01:56:51Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001932

funding in new appropriations for

01:56:53Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001933

2027. However, the fund

01:56:55Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001934

still received additional funding for

01:56:57Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001935

2026 in the amount of 3 billion

01:56:58Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001936

due to the Middle East conflict.

01:57:01Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001937

So, tanong ko, how much of the fund

01:57:03Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001938

is utilized mainly for repatriation,

01:57:05Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001939

for medical, or for

01:57:07Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001940

legal assistance? Kasi yung legal assistance

01:57:09Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001941

mainly nasa atin na rin, no,

01:57:11Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001942

wala na sa DFA.

01:57:13Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001943

We were very particular, meron pa rin,

01:57:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001944

pero we're very particular with legal

01:57:17Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001945

assistance. Sabi nga natin na,

01:57:19Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001946

Sen. Joel, eh, yung ating

01:57:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001947

bagong bayani, pag nasa oras ng

01:57:23Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001948

pangangailangan, dapat, nararamdaman lang

01:57:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001949

nandiyan yung gobyerno. So, yun po,

01:57:27Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001950

ano po ang ano rito, how much is the fund

01:57:29Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001951

for repatriation, for medical,

01:57:31Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001952

and or for legal assistance?

01:57:35Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001953

Yes.

01:57:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-002034

binigyan natin assistance doon as a result of the war.

02:01:28Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-002035

And then yung mga nauwi po na distressed, na wala pong kapera-pera, yung pong mga deported from the U.S. cruise ships,

02:01:36Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-002036

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002039

Anyway, may rest assured that we will do our best to...

02:01:54Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002040

Because this...

02:01:55Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002041

Extraordinary situation again, may mga krisis tayo.

02:01:59Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002042

Different conflicts happening at the same time, pero lalo-lalo na sa Middle East.

02:02:06Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002043

May rest assured that during the Senate, marami naman tayong champion dito ng mga overseas Filipino workers natin in labor.

02:02:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002044

Senator Joel is one, Senator Bongo.

02:02:17Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002045

Kaya mahal natin ang OFWs natin.

02:02:20Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002046

Kaya na kahit na hindi na may iba doon, hindi kami mahal.

02:02:23Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002047

Dahil, ewan ko lang bakit bali-mali yata yung nakakarating silang balita.

02:02:28Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002048

Pero nakita nyo naman kami, trabaho lang dito, tanggalin natin yung politika kasi minsan ano nila yung politika lang.

02:02:36Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002049

Tayo, trabaho lang.

02:02:37Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

And what's gonna be good for the majority, sa masakarami kung ano nakakabuti.

02:02:47Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002051

Kaya yan, sabi ko nga, Senator Joel, thank you.

02:02:52Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002052

Magtutulong na lang kami para...

02:02:53Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002053

Lahat ng ano, mahirap man, masikip man yung ating, sabi ko nga, elbow room natin, gagawa natin ng paraan.

02:02:59Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002054

Dahil hindi naman natin pwede pabayaan ng ating mga OFWs.

02:03:03Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002055

Na sila pong bumuhay ng ekonomiya natin for several decades.

02:03:08Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002056

Diba?

02:03:08Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

So, kailangan sa oras ng kagipitan nila, eh, nandyan ho tayo.

02:03:13Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002058

Siguro lang, misinformed lang sila.

02:03:14Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002059

Sana lang malaman nila na yung ginagawa natin dito for healthcare, para sa kanilang welfare,

02:03:22Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002060

lalo na sa universal healthcare, para sa kanilang mga pamilyang naiwan dito,

02:03:26Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002061

ay inaayos natin para maramdaman at makagaan sa kanila rin pinapasan.

Sige lang, okay lang pumalakpak. Okay lang. Para sa chairman natin.

02:03:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002065

No, no, no. Just to put on record, I am a living testimony of how Senator JV,

02:03:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002066

since he was a mayor of...

02:03:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002067

San Juan, kilala ko na siya, how he takes care of OFWs in San Juan and up to here.

02:03:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002068

And we were together in so many, several times to go to different places from Hong Kong to Singapore to Europe, etc.

02:04:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002069

He's always been a avid supporter of our migrant workers.

02:04:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002070

Just to, ano lang, Senator JV, I mean, Chairman, like for example, a few days ago, we were tackling the budget of DFA.

02:04:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002071

Yung legal fund nila, there's 200 million, there's assistance to national, 1 billion.

02:04:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002072

And tingnan din natin yung utilization programs ng other agencies.

02:04:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002073

So, we'll do our part in looking for ways and means on how we can help look for the request of the budget of the Department of Migrant Workers and OFWs.

02:04:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002074

Again, Chairman JV, maraming salamat. Mabuhay ka. Thank you, thank you.

02:04:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002075

Okay. We will now give the floor to Senator Bong Go, who is also...

02:04:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002076

Equally, very passionate in fighting for our migrant workers.

Kayo po yung nag-aasikaso talaga, walang pahinga, 24 hours kayo on call.

02:06:33Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Nababanggit po ang inyong mga pangalan.

Yeah, just recently.

02:07:44Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002110

Just recently, no.

Nababanggit po kayo at talagang masaya naman po sila.

02:07:49Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002112

Kaya ako po, full support po.

02:07:50Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002113

Kaya ako po always sa budget ng Department of Migrant Workers.

02:07:56Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002114

Yearly naman po yan.

02:07:57Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002115

At alam nyo naman po na ipinaglaban po natin ito na may isa batas ito.

02:08:02Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002116

Through the principal sponsor natin, si Senator Joel Villanueva.

02:08:08Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002117

Noon na, hirap na hirap po kami nito.

02:08:10Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002118

Walang may gusto na magkaroon ng sariling departamento.

02:08:15Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002119

Remember, more than 10 million migrant workers.

02:08:19Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002120

Wala man lang sariling departamento.

02:08:20Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002121

E yung iba nga, merong sariling departamento.

02:08:24Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002122

Yung represent nila o kinikater nila, napakaliit lang po na portion ng population.

02:08:30Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002123

Ito pa, na more than 10 million.

02:08:32Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002124

At napakahalaga po.

02:08:33Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002125

Noon, wala pa itong DMW, yung mga kababayan natin,

02:08:38Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002126

nananawagan sa radyo, sa Facebook, sa telebisyon, kahit sino na lang po nilalapitan.

02:08:43Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002127

Ngayon po, nilagay na po sa isang departamento para sa ating mga migrant workers.

02:08:47Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002128

Salamat po.

02:08:48Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002129

Naging batas po ito.

02:08:50Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002130

So, Republic Act No. 11641, Principal Sponsor, Sen. Joel Villanueva, pinaglaban natin.

02:08:57Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002131

At finally, naipasa po ito noong 18th Congress.

02:09:01Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002132

At pangako po ito ni former President Duterte na maisa batas at meron ng sariling departamento na nakatutok.

02:09:08Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002133

So, ngayon po, kaya ganoon na lang po akong ka-full support sa DMW.

02:09:13Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002134

At yung pangarap natin noon ay isa katuparan po talaga.

02:09:18Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002135

Napansin ko lang po ngayon.

02:09:20Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002136

Speaking of the budget, napansin ko lang po sa proposed 2027 budget amounting to a 37.6 billion.

02:09:30Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002137

The DBM recommended only 11.6 billion, equivalent to 30.8 of the total amount requested.

02:09:38Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002138

Among those not included in the NEP are additional funding for Action Fund and funding for the creation of new migrant workers offices.

02:09:46Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002139

We want to know how will this affect

02:09:50Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002142

the operations of DMW next year.

02:09:53Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002143

Mr. Chair, isa rin po sa ating sinusulong ang pagtatag ng OFW Hospital through Executive Order 154.

02:10:00Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002144

Meron na po tayong OFW Hospital sa Pampanga.

02:10:03Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002145

Nagtulungan po ang national government, local government, at private sector.

02:10:07Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002146

Meron po magandang hospital doon, dedicated sa ating mga OFW.

02:10:12Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002147

At this Congress, I also filed Senate Bill 414, institutionalizing the OFW Hospital.

02:10:20Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002148

Ano na po ang status ng OFW Hospital?

02:10:23Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002149

Dahil kayo po ang namamahala.

02:10:27Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002150

Hindi naman po ito na turnover sa DOH since under po ito ng Department of Migrant Workers.

02:10:35Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002151

Magkano na po ba ang kailangan para sa operation ng hospital?

02:10:38Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002152

Kumusta na po?

02:10:40Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002153

How will the reduction in funding affect the hospital's operations and the delivery of services to our OFWs?

02:10:46Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002154

Mr. Chair, dapat po tuloy-tuloy ang suporta natin sa OFWs.

02:10:50Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002155

Dahil po para sa ating mga OFWs po ito at sa kanilang mga pamilya.

02:10:56Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002156

Additionally, Mr. Chair, para mas maging accessible ang servisyong medikal sa OFWs,

02:11:00Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002157

nag-file din po tayo ng Senate Bill 1290 or ang proposed OFW Wards Act.

02:11:07Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002158

Hindi naman po lahat ng OFWs kayang pumunta po ng Pampanga para magpagamot doon.

02:11:11Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002159

Kaya nararapat lamang po na meron dedicated sa kanila na OFW Wards na available po sa iba't ibang parte ng bansa.

02:11:19Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002160

Gusto ko lang po isingit, Mr. Chair, bagamat hindi po ito parte ng budget ng Department of Migrant Workers,

02:11:30Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002161

pero apektado po ang ating mga kababayan, mga OFWs, mostly mga OFWs dahil kailangan po nila ng passport pag nagbiyahe po sila.

02:11:41Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002162

Mr. Chair, during the last budget hearing of the Department of Foreign Affairs,

02:11:46Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002163

there was a discussion on the proposed income.

02:11:49Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002164

Increase in the cost of Philippine passports, citing inflation, VAT, price increases, and significantly higher transportation costs.

02:11:57Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002165

Nabanggit ko po ito dahil kakagaling ko lang po sa Nagoya, Japan.

02:12:01Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002166

At isa rin po sa mga usap-usapan ng ating mga kababayan doon na may planong itaas nga po ang presyo ng passport application fee.

02:12:09Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002167

At hindi lang po basta itataas.

02:12:14Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002168

Mataas po talaga yung dinagdag kung sasakali.

02:12:19Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002169

Pagdoblihin mula 950 pesos, magiging 1,500 pesos.

02:12:24Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002170

Huwag naman po, sana, nakikiusap po tayo sa Department of Foreign Affairs.

02:12:30Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002171

Pakiusapan nyo naman po yung printing office.

02:12:32Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002172

Ito yung tinatawag na APO.

02:12:34Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002173

Sana po na huwag naman po.

02:12:36Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002174

Hindi po napapanahon sa ngayon.

02:12:37Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002175

Hira po ang ating mga kababayan.

02:12:39Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002176

Nasa crisis po tayo.

02:12:40Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002177

At bawat piso po, bawat sentimo na kinikita ng mga OFWs natin,

02:12:46Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002178

ay napakahalaga po yun na meron silang...

02:12:49Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002179

dadalhin sa kanilang mga pamilya.

02:12:52Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002180

Bawat piso, importante po yun sa kanila.

02:12:55Source

asr-002181

At yun po, naging reaction mga nakausap ko.

02:12:58Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002182

Kitang-kita nyo naman po ang lungkot sa mga kababayan nating OFWs.

02:13:02Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002183

At yung iba po, medyo galit.

02:13:05Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002184

Sana naman po, huwag ito matuloy.

02:13:10Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002185

Sabi ko, wala bang katapusan ang pahirap sa ating mga kababayan?

02:13:14Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002186

Para sa akin, hindi po ito katanggap-tanggap.

02:13:16Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002187

Huwag naman po, muna sana.

02:13:18Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002188

Kung kaya naman po i-subsidize ng gobyerno,

02:13:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002189

kesa naman po masayang yung pondo sa korupsyon,

02:13:26Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002190

sana naman gamitin na lang po, maayos at i-subsidize na lang po dito

02:13:31Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002191

sa mga pangangailangan po ng ating mga kababayan OFWs.

02:13:36Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002192

Huwag na sanang mag-increase sa ngayon.

02:13:39Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002193

Ramdam ko po ang sentimento ng ating mga kababayan.

02:13:41Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002194

At alam ko rin po, ramdam nyo yan.

02:13:43Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002195

Dahil kayo po ang nag-aasikaso sa ating mga kababayan.

02:13:48Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002196

Kababayan OFWs.

02:13:49Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002197

Ramdam ko ang sentimento ng ating mga kababayan

02:13:51Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002198

sa gitna ng matinding krisis na pinagdadaanan ang taong bayan ngayon.

02:13:55Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002199

Never ending na ba talaga ang dagdag pahirap sa mga Pilipino?

02:13:58Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002200

Ilagay po natin ang ating mga sarili sa sitwasyon ng ating OFWs

02:14:02Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002201

na araw-araw nagsasakripisyo po para sa kanilang pamilya at sa ating bayan.

02:14:07Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002202

Tinitiis po nila yung lungkot na mapalayo sa kanilang mga pamilya.

02:14:12Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002203

Alam ko, mas marami sa kanila na gusto pong umuwi dito sa ating bayan.

02:14:17Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002204

Dito na lang po manirahan.

02:14:18Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002205

Pero kailangan po nila magtrabaho doon.

02:14:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002206

Tandaan natin, isang beses lang tayo dadaan sa mundong ito, napakabilis po ng panahon.

02:14:26Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002207

Sana easy nila dito na manirahan sa ating bayan kaysa sa malayo sa kanilang pamilya.

02:14:31Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002208

Pero tinitiis po nila yun.

02:14:33Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002209

Tinitiis nila ang sakit na mapalayo sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay.

02:14:37Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002210

Hindi pinapansin ang inip, gutom at pagod basta makapagtipid

02:14:41Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002211

at may padala ang pinaghirapang sahod para may panggastos po sa kanilang pamilya

02:14:45Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002212

at para rin manatiling buhay ang ating ekonomiya.

02:14:48Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002213

Tapos ito po ang isusukli ng Estado sa kanila, dagdag na gastusin.

02:14:56Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002214

Hindi po dapat ito.

02:15:00Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002215

Dapat nga huwag nang dagdagan pa ang bigat na pasan ng ating mga kababayan.

02:15:04Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002216

Imbis na humanap ang gobyerno ng paraan para matulungan sila at mapagaan kahit papanong buhay ng OFWs,

02:15:10Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002217

baliktad po ang nangyayari, nagiging paurong, problema at sakit ng ulo ang naghihintay sa kanila dito sa bansa.

02:15:17Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002218

At also Mr. Chair, here is the ironic part.

02:15:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002219

Noong panahon po ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte, ang dinoble natin noon noong panahon ni former President Duterte ay yung serbisyo.

02:15:32Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002220

Mula 5 years, ginawa pong 10 years ang validity ng Philippine Passport.

02:15:36Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002221

Dinoble natin ang pakinabang para sa ating mga mamamayan.

02:15:44Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002222

Million-million Pilipino ang nakinabang at natuwa dahil dito hindi na nila kailangan pumila pa dyan sa pag-renewal.

02:15:51Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002223

Mula 5 years, ginawa po ng kanilang passport. After 10 years na nila, kailangan pong mag-renew.

02:15:56Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002224

Sana po, may iwasan po ito ang pagtaas ng passport processing fee.

02:16:08Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002225

Ako po ay nakikiusap sa Department of Foreign Affairs at sa APO, sa Printing Office,

02:16:17Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002226

na sana naman po huwag munang taasan.

02:16:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002227

Ang passport processing fee dahil hirap po ang ating mga kababayan, lalong-lalo na po ang mga OFWs.

02:16:30Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002228

Ang kailangan ngayon, serbisyo, hindi po negosyo.

02:16:35Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002229

At gusto ko lang po marinig yung position ninyo ukol dito.

02:16:38Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002230

And I'm sure sana tutulan nyo rin po ang pagtaas ng passport processing fee.

02:16:48Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002231

On another note po, Mr. Chair, Secretary.

02:16:51Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002232

During my recent visit sa Nagoya, nabanggit po ng Consulate Office o ng Congen doon,

02:16:59Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002233

si Consul General Sherlyn Manangkil na walang labor office or migrant workers office sa Nagoya.

02:17:05Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002234

Despite the significant number of OFWs in the area, sana po matulungan ang DMW sa isyong ito

02:17:12Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002235

dahil importante po na may malalapitan ang ating mga OFWs sa ibang bansa.

02:17:17Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002236

At ang Nagoya po ang pinakamaraming.

02:17:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002237

Pilipino workers po dahil na doon po yung mga planta ng Toyota at mga iba pang mga malalaking kumpanya.

02:17:33Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002238

So sila po ang pinakamaraming Pilipino migrant workers sa Japan, ang Nagoya po.

02:17:42Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002239

Sila po yung walang labor office or migrant workers office sa Nagoya.

02:17:47Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002240

At hindi lang po sa Nagoya, sana po makapag-establish din tayo.

02:17:51Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002241

Sa mga bansa at lugar na maraming OFWs, dapat po magkaroon ng sapat at readily available na pondo

02:17:57Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002242

para sa ating mga OFWs na naiipit sa conflict areas, lalo na po sa gitna ng kaguluhan sa Middle East.

02:18:04Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002243

Ito mismo ang dahilan kung bakit napakalaga po nitong action fund.

02:18:09Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002244

Mr. Chair, sana magawan mo ito ng paraan. Alam ko namang mag-a-action ka kagadyan.

02:18:16Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002245

Unahin natin sila. Pagtutulungan po namin ito.

02:18:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002246

Alang-alang na lang po. Isa-alang-alang natin ang kapakanan ng ating mga migrant workers, mga OFWs.

02:18:29Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002247

Kapag may digmaan o biglang krisis, hindi maaaring kulang ang pondo at hindi maaaring mabagal ang pagkilos ng gobyerno.

02:18:36Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002248

Kaya nakakabahala po na hindi maisama sa NEP ang additional funding requested for the action fund.

02:18:41Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002249

I hope that in considering the 2027 budget, we can ensure that the DMW has sufficient resources to respond immediately.

02:18:51Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002250

Wherever and wherever our OFWs are in danger.

02:18:54Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002251

Paalala ko lang po sa DMW at sa OWA. Lagi po natin unahin ang kapakanan ng ating mga OFWs dahil para po sa kanila ang lahat na may inisiyatibo na ginagawa natin dito.

02:19:05Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002252

At ito yung parati kong pinapaalala sa lahat. Hindi lang po sa DMWs, sa DFA, sa mga ambasador during hearing po dito ng confirmation ng kanilang appointment or nomination.

02:19:21Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002253

Nila sa mga career foreign service or sa mga ambasadors natin. And even during the time na kayo po kinonfirm namin dito, Secretary Kakdak, maalala nyo, sinabi ko lang po sa inyo,

02:19:36Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002254

02:20:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002260

Unahin ko po yung OFW Hospital kasi alam ko po napakalapit sa inyong puso. Ang OFW Hospital, malugod ko pong inuulat na 190,000 po.

02:20:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002261

Ang napaglingkuran na nating OFWs. Di lamang OFWs, Mr. Senator, dahil alam namin nung tinalaga ang ospital, inasasangalang-alang nyo rin ang nanay at tatay at mga anak na mga OFWs.

02:21:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

02:22:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002268

Dito po sa ating Action Fund, without any question, ay talagang gusto po talaga natin, lalo papating ka rin po. Tama po yung sinabi ninyo na napakahalaga ng Action Fund, ang legal, medical, financial.

02:22:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

Repatriation and other forms of analogous assistance na pondo natin. Higit kumulang, lagpas isandaang OFWs na po ang nakatanggap ng financial assistance sa Action Fund.

02:22:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002270

Higit kumulang sa legal assistance ay mga 20,000 na mga OFWs na kinabang sa mga kasong hinahandle ng ating mga higit kumulang mga 100 lawyers worldwide.

02:22:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002271

Kasi po mga law firms ang inahire natin, 25 law firms with at least 4 lawyers each. E mga 100 lawyers po yan under the Action Fund on average, dito sa ating, na tumutulong sa ating mga OFWs worldwide.

02:23:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002272

02:23:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Ako naman po'y sumusuporta always.

Senado.

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002336

Thank you, Sen. Bong Go.

02:28:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002337

Has been with us since day one.

02:29:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002338

I still remember those days na I think we were able to tackle the bill on establishing the Department of Migrant Workers for almost two years, if I'm not mistaken.

02:29:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002339

And every time magkakaroon.

02:29:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002340

And every time magkakaroon ng mga roadblocks, pitstops, etc., si Sen. Bong Go yung pinaka talagang most dependable individual na kausap ko noon para i-push yung bill.

02:29:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002341

And true enough, naging batas po ito.

02:29:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002342

So we really put it into the records of this hall na malaking tulong yung ginawa ni Sen. Bong Go to establish the Department of Migrant Workers.

02:29:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002343

So again, thank you, Sen. Bong Go.

02:29:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002344

Especially now na nandyan na, hindi mo pa rin iniiwan at sumusuport pa rin sa budgetary requirements and requests ng DMW.

02:29:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002345

Thank you, Sen. Bong Go.

02:29:55Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002346

May I add something?

02:30:00Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002347

Alam niyo, nung panahon si Senator Joel, siya yung chairperson ng Labor Committee dito sa Senado. Muntik na siyang nawala ng pag-asa pero hindi po siya bumigay. Talagang pinaglaban niya. Sabi ko, boss, alang-alang na lang sa OFWs na, mga kababayan nating OFWs, please lang, huwag kang bumigay, paglaban mo pa rin, huwag kang mawala ng pag-asa.

02:30:24Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002348

At true enough, yung ating panaginip nagkatotoo po na nagkaroon ng Department of Migrant Workers. Salamat sa iyong pagmamahal sa ating mga OFWs, Senator Joel Villanueva. Maraming salamat po.

02:30:37Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002349

Thank you again, Senator Bong. And let me stem my next questions dun sa binabanggit ka rin ni Senator Bong. Una yung sa Passport Act. I'm one of the authors of the 10 years validity of passports.

02:30:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002350

And yung APO publishing is under OP now. Is that correct? It's under OP now. Before, it's under BSP. So right now, if I'm not mistaken, it's under OP.

02:31:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002351

And I heard Secretary Tess Lazaro saying that she was able to talk to APO and nag-request na po sila. It's just that siguro concerted efforts, lahat tayo, magpagtalong-talungan po natin.

02:31:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002352

Hindi maganda, especially right now, na itaas yung... And I'm with Senator Bong on this particular issue. Now, let me continue my questions with the Action Fund. Kasi tinitignan ko rin. Yung sa DFA, binanggit ko, yung legal fund nila is 200 million. Still there. Meron pa silang 1 billion na assistance to national. I'm not trying to get funding from DFA.

02:31:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002353

But in all honesty, when I...

02:31:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002354

I asked that question as to the utilization ng department, I think mataas pa rin yung available funds nila dito. I just don't know kung ngayong time of the year ba talagang ganon. I missed the budget briefing last time.

02:32:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002355

But if you look at the Action Fund, Secretary and the Admin Kaunan, pareho yung...

02:32:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002356

Yung Action Fund, merong repatriation, meron din ang OWA. Pati yung Action Fund, ang dami. May legal, may medical, repatriation. Merong...

02:32:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002357

Yun nga kanina binabanggit ni Sec Hans, yung mga distressed OFWs, yung may kailangan ng tulong because they were victimized by illegal recruitment, etc.

02:32:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002358

And then you have...

02:32:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002359

Reintegration, nandyan din po, nakaladge.

02:32:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002360

Now, looking at dun sa repatriation, hindi ko ba pag may nirepatriate tayo, of course, inuuna natin kaagad dyan dahil emergency yan eh. Most urgent yan na kailangang tulungan.

02:33:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002361

But the companies, the employers, they are also somehow liable in...

02:33:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002362

In...

02:33:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002363

For instance...

02:33:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002364

Giving help dun sa medical assistance, dun po sa pagbili, for example, ng tickets, plane tickets, etc.

02:33:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002365

May po ba tayong kaukulang pondo na nakukuha pa from their end, yung reimbursement na nakukuha?

02:33:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002366

And at the same time, gaano po ang percentage-wise na nakaka-comply dito ng mga kumpanya?

02:33:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002367

Or...

02:33:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002368

Or employers na nakukuha pa po natin?

02:33:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002369

Secretary?

02:34:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002370

Tama po kayo, Mr. Senator.

02:34:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002371

The main responsibility to repatriate is with the employer and the mining agency.

02:34:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002372

For those who are still covered by their first two years contracts, kusa nandun pa yung agency.

02:34:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002373

But we're fully aware that most of OFWs, around 70% of OFWs,

02:34:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002374

are tinatawag na balik manggagawa.

02:34:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002375

Ibig sabihin, more than two years na sila sa abroad, at wala na silang agency covered under the compulsory insurance laws,

02:34:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002376

where repatriation will be covered by insurance company policy provided by the insurance company to the agency as the policyholder.

02:34:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002377

Ngayon, ang OWA po ang may mechanism doon ng reimbursement mechanism.

02:34:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002378

So, si...

02:34:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002379

Admin PY, baka may kaukulang ulat po sa refunding.

02:34:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002380

Pero, in general, pag-crisis ang sitwasyon, we don't pause to say,

02:35:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002381

hindi kami yan, agency yan, etc.

02:35:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002382

So, tama po kayo, refund ang mekanismo natin.

02:35:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002383

Ngayon, doon po sa medical, tama po kayo, many OFWs,

02:35:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002384

whether balik manggagawa or baguhan na OFWs, may insurance naman po sa host country, in general.

02:35:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002385

So, sa kanina,

02:35:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002386

binanggit nyo, just for me, my personal education, two years lang po yung compulsory.

02:35:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002387

For repatriation, yes.

02:35:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002388

For repatriation, two years.

02:35:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002389

Yes, two years.

02:35:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002390

Pero sa medical, whether balik manggagawa...

02:35:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002391

Sa medical, as long as they're covered by the medical insurance laws, regulations in the host country,

02:35:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002392

and in general, they are all, they are covered.

02:35:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002393

So, inuuna po natin munang i-avail nila.

02:35:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002394

Habang may na-hospital ng OFW, hindi po natin agad sinasagot sa abroad yung hospital bills.

02:35:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002395

Dahil malamang sa malamang, covered siya ng insurance doon.

02:35:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002396

So,

02:35:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002397

So, tine-exhaust po muna yung insurance policy coverage.

02:35:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002398

Pag nagkulang na po, o di kaya undocumented, kung saan walang insurance, doon po tayo pumapasok.

02:36:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002399

So, rest assured, hindi po tayo pumapasok agad kung covered naman ng insurance yung kababayan natin, hinahayaan muna natin.

02:36:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002400

Doon po sa matter on the other matters like refund, baka si admin PY pumakapasok.

02:36:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002401

Yes, admin PY.

02:36:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002402

And I ask this question because I wanted to make sure...

02:36:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002403

I'm sure na yung mining agencies are also doing their share, doing their part.

02:36:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002404

And I wanted to understand where it goes, yung reimbursement, etc.

02:36:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002405

Saan napupunta? Inaano ba natin yun?

02:36:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002406

Dinapalik sa treasury or pwede rin natin gamitin na pondo para ipanggamit ng OWA?

02:36:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002407

Ma'am?

02:36:48Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002408

Thank you very much, Chair, doon po sa tanong na yan.

02:36:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002409

Una-una po, simulan ko.

02:36:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002410

Doon sa RA 8042, Section 15, yan ang Emergency Repatriation Fund.

02:37:00Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002411

Nandyan mismo nakasaad na ang may primary responsibility po patungkol sa repatriation ay yung mga employers po or yung kanila pong mga recruitment agencies.

02:37:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002412

Pero nasabi nga po na aming kalihim, pag emergency po, alam naman kung antahin pa natin sila na umakto, kaya po meron pong way of reimbursement.

02:37:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002413

Okay.

02:37:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002414

Mr. Chair, ako na hong unang aamin na medyo mahirap kolektahin.

02:37:30Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002415

Kami po ay nagpapadala ng mga demand letter, nakailan na rin po kaming referral sa Department of Migrant Workers for proper administrative sanction, if that is kung hindi pa rin po sila magko-comply.

02:37:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002416

Pero over the years po, yun po ang nagiging proseso.

02:37:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002417

Merong mga, meron pong ang OWA po ang nangungunang...

02:37:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002418

...mag-gumastos para sa emergency repatriation, lalong-lalo na po, yung nasabi nga po ni SecHands, yung mga newly hired.

02:38:02Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002419

At pagkatapos po niyan ay we send the demand letter and then kung hindi pa rin po talaga sumagot, we refer to the, then po, POEA now, the Department of Migrant Workers.

02:38:17Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002420

Opo, kasi po sila po ang regulatory, sila po may regulatory function.

02:38:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002421

Pero po, tama po yun, malaking porsyento po kasi nang tinutulungan natin ay mga balik manggagawa na o wala na pong recruitment agency.

02:38:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002422

Mapayagan niya rin po akong sabihin and put on record, pag tinignan po namin, binalangkas po namin yung emergency repatriation fund at mas malaki po ang porsyento.

02:38:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002423

Actually, Mr. Chair, mga lalampas siguro ng 90%.

02:38:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002424

Kung titignan mo yung tulong pagtutungkol sa airfare, transportation, and shelter, ay land-based OFWs.

02:39:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002425

Ibig sabihin po, Mr. Chair, patungkol sa sea-based, ang mga manning agencies na ayon naman yan sa maritime convention at sa kanilang kontrata ay sumusunod at nagbibigay po at umaako nitong kanilang obligasyon under contract and under international maritime convention po.

02:39:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002426

Just to understand, Admin, pag naka-collect, what do you do with the collection?

02:39:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002427

Pwede bang gamitin ito ng OWA or ito'y binabalik sa treasury?

02:39:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002428

Binabalik po natin sa treasury pag emergency repatriation fund po dahil ito po ay gaa.

02:39:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002429

And can you give us a ballpark figure like sample last year?

02:39:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002430

How much are we talking about here?

02:39:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002431

You were able to collect, which of course you made mention, very difficult.

02:39:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002432

Very difficult, but for this year alone, Mr. Chair, over 10 million pa lang ang nakokolekta po namin na kumbaga naibalik sa treasury.

02:40:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002433

Pero yung demand letter and yun nga nasa kapending, meron kayong ballpark figure din kung magkano yung… kahit pa submit nyo na lang, just for our…

02:40:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002434

Yes, Mr. Chair.

02:40:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002435

Just to make sure.

02:40:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002436

We understand.

02:40:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002437

Opo, Mr. Chair.

02:40:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002438

Pero hindi ko po masasabi ngayon on record at magsasumiti na lang po kami sa komite patungkol sa actual amount.

02:40:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002439

Pero ipauna ko na rin po, Mr. Chair, ang hinahabolan po namin ay 176 Philippine recruitment agencies.

02:40:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002440

Ang bayad pa lang po ay 13.

02:40:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002441

So yun po ay we will submit to the committee a more comprehensive report on this, Mr. Chair.

02:40:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002442

Thank you.

02:40:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002443

Appreciate it.

02:40:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002444

Let me go to another point dito sa part ng ating emergency protection ng ating mga kababayan.

02:41:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002445

May we know right now how many OFWs remain in conflict affected or yung nasa kategory ng high risk areas?

02:41:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002446

And of course, what level of contingency capacity

02:41:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002447

is required for their possible evacuation or repatriation?

02:41:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002448

Just to have an idea, Secretary?

02:41:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002449

The figure that we have po is in the two areas, mainly yung sa Gulf states, sa may Arabian Gulf, and sa tinatawag na Levant, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon.

02:41:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002450

What do you call that?

02:41:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002451

Levant?

02:41:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002452

Levant.

02:41:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002453

Levant.

02:41:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002454

Levant.

02:41:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002455

2.5 million po ang…

02:41:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002456

Estimate doon.

02:41:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002457

Opo, opo.

02:41:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002458

But having said that, Mr. Senator, tama po kayo.

02:42:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002459

This is not to cause any alarm.

02:42:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002460

This is not necessarily a case of 2.5 million all in danger.

02:42:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002461

So lalo na sa kaso ng gera na ito, talagang nakikita natin kakaiba.

02:42:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002462

Halimbawa, nakikita natin na targeted ang mga attacks.

02:42:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002463

Maaring nung simula ng gera, nakita natin.

02:42:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002464

May ilang civilian areas, targets na natamaan.

02:42:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002465

Pero in due time, nakita natin na naging targeted na mga military facilities, installations, ang ina-atake on both sides.

02:42:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002466

Doon po sa…

02:42:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002467

Ang Saudi Arabia, which is around 1 million OFWs, so at least 50% of the 2.5, nakita naman natin ay on the whole ay spared ang Saudi Arabia from the attacks.

02:42:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002468

Although lately, there have been some attacks also.

02:42:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002469

And Saudi, but in general, the biggest land mass, which is Saudi with the biggest OFW population, relatively not as intense ang attacks as compared to the other, to the smaller Gulf states.

02:43:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002470

So tama po kayo.

02:43:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002471

Kailangan inuans ito.

02:43:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002472

Kailangan i-contextualize.

02:43:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002473

Hindi pwedeng pang kalahatang sabihin na 2.5 in danger.

02:43:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002474

But having said that, ang napag-usapan na po natin kanina, it's still always prudent to…

02:43:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002475

Be ready for the worst case scenario, for a case where we will repatriate more than 12,000, which was the case last March, April, and May.

02:43:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002476

Thank you. Thank you for that.

02:43:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002477

And we trust that the Lord will intervene.

02:43:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002478

And we don't want this to happen again, itong nangyari, itong nakaraan.

02:43:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002479

And if you're talking about 2.5 million Filipinos…

02:43:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002480

Nandito sa areas ng Gulf State at Lebanon-Israel area.

02:44:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002481

Let me go to one of my most favorite topics, itong human capital development.

02:44:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002482

And when we were talking about this particular provision of the DMW's charter, we talked about full cycle reintegration sa ating mga OFWs.

02:44:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002483

How are DMW and OFW working towards this full cycle reintegration?

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002485

I was informed about this July 20, 2016, 2026 Joint Memorandum Circular Expansion.

02:44:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002486

Pwedeng yung kaalaman tungo sa Kabuhayan Initiative.

02:44:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002487

And I just want…

02:45:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002488

to understand clearly

02:45:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002489

and

02:45:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002490

more vividly on how

02:45:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002491

we'll be able to improve

02:45:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002492

our programs

02:45:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002493

with regard to our full

02:45:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002494

cycle reintegration program.

02:45:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002495

Mr. Senator, with your permission, I'll

02:45:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002496

start it off and then we have ASEC

02:45:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002497

Kiko de Guzman, our National

02:45:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002498

Reintegration Center, FOCAL, and of course

02:45:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002499

Admin PY. But let me just say

02:45:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002500

we are trying to cover

02:45:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002501

but when it comes to reintegration,

02:45:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002502

hindi lang po ito simple case of

02:45:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002503

para sa nanumbalik. So we're trying to

02:45:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002504

be as comprehensive as we

02:45:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002505

could on three levels. One is

02:45:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002506

all phases of migration covered.

02:45:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002507

Hindi lamang sa panunumbalik

02:45:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002508

kundi bago magsimula pa lang

02:45:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002509

nandiyan na ang financial education

02:45:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002510

literacy input at habang nandodon siya

02:45:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002511

nandun na yung mga

02:45:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002512

training possibilities, upskilling

02:45:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002513

02:45:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002514

yung pong mga lifelong learning

02:45:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002515

possibilities, and then yung

02:45:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002516

introduction ng mga government programs

02:45:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002517

for livelihood and

02:45:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002518

jobs pag-uwi.

02:46:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002519

Alam na alam nyo po ito, Mr. Senator, you've

02:46:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002520

authored many bills and had a test

02:46:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002521

by yourself along these lines.

02:46:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002522

The other level is

02:46:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002523

so una yung all phases of

02:46:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002524

migration. The other level is yung

02:46:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002525

all possible programs and

02:46:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002526

services in these different

02:46:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002527

phases. So nandyan yung

02:46:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002528

pagkalinga,

02:46:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002529

welfare, psychosocial,

02:46:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002530

kaalaman,

02:46:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002531

yung lifelong learning, and then of course

02:46:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002532

yung pangkabuhay.

02:46:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002533

And then lastly,

02:46:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002534

comprehensiveness in terms

02:46:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002535

of the agencies, government agencies,

02:46:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002536

so on the administrative level,

02:46:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002537

comprehensiveness dahil

02:46:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002538

nandi dito, hindi lamang

02:46:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002539

DMW. We should start by admitting

02:46:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002540

it's not just DMW and OWA,

02:46:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002541

but the DTI,

02:46:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002542

DFA,

02:46:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002543

DA, and TESDA,

02:46:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002544

and DOT involved, among others.

02:46:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002545

At kaya nga nagtalaga ang ating

02:46:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002546

pangulo ng National Reintegration

02:46:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002547

Network. I've said so much,

02:47:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002548

but I think if you will allow

02:47:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002549

Mr. Chair, Asek Kiko de Guzman

02:47:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002550

to provide some

02:47:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002551

of his input also.

02:47:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002552

Yes, please. Asek Kiko

asr-002557

framework ng kaalaman tungo

02:47:21Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002558

sa kabuhayan. I believe Admin PY

02:47:23Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002559

would provide not just the framework later,

02:47:25Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002560

but would discuss the physical

02:47:27Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002561

structure that we

02:47:29Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002562

have for the kaalaman tungo sa kabuhayan.

02:47:32Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002563

Kaalaman, sir,

02:47:33Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002564

and of course kabuhayan are

02:47:34Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002565

two of the strands

02:47:37Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002566

of the reintegration

02:47:39Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002567

framework, the reintegration program. Tama po

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002570

natin sa reintegration. And

02:47:47Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002571

recognizing, sir, that at every

02:47:49Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002572

stage or at every phase of the

02:47:51Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002573

migration process or the migration

02:47:53Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002574

cycle, kung kaya natin mag-provide

02:47:55Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002575

ng intervention sa ating OFW

02:47:57Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002576

at sa pamilya ng

02:47:59Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002577

ating OFW, nang sa ganun ay

02:48:01Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002578

mabigyan sila ng karampatang

02:48:03Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002579

02:48:05Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002580

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002581

yung counterpart na kabuhayan, mas

02:48:15Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002585

ang ating kababayang OFW.

02:48:17Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002586

That being said, sir,

02:48:19Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002587

the K2K framework actually works

02:48:21Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002588

similar to the

02:48:23Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002589

enrollment to employment scheme

02:48:25Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002590

that we are implementing

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002591

in the local employment level.

02:48:29Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002592

So, ito po ay pinangungunahan

02:48:31Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002593

ng DMW, ng TESDA,

02:48:34Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

overseas labor

02:51:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002676

migration is often

02:51:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002677

cyclical rather than

02:51:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002678

a one-time journey.

02:51:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002679

Meron po ba tayo

02:51:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002680

na ginagawa to

02:51:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002681

well, to categorize

02:51:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002682

perhaps distinguish among OFWs

02:51:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002683

who intend to return

02:51:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002684

permanently, those who are only

02:51:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002685

home between

02:51:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002686

contracts, at yung

02:51:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002687

those who may eventually choose to

02:51:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002688

work abroad again, which

02:51:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002689

perhaps, yan yung madalas

02:51:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002690

every time mag-re-reported when I was

02:51:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002691

in TESDA, lahat ayaw

02:51:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002692

mag-retraining, ayaw mag-retooling

02:51:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002693

talagang ang iniisip nila

02:51:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002694

kailan kami pwedeng makabalik o makapunta

02:51:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002695

sa ibang bansa or

02:51:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002696

the same country na pinagtrabaho

02:52:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002697

namin or in another

02:52:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002698

country. Meron po ba tayong

02:52:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002699

ganun? And what would constitute

02:52:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002700

perhaps

02:52:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002701

a successful

02:52:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002702

reintegration outcome for

02:52:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002703

each of this category?

02:52:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002704

Sir, please.

02:52:15Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002704-split-2

Yes. Thank you very much,

02:52:16Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002705

sir, for pointing that out. And of course,

02:52:18Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002706

we of course thank the

02:52:20Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002707

Congress and the Senate, of course,

02:52:22Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002708

for ensuring that

02:52:24Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002709

we do have a robust and

02:52:26Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002710

a strict setup.

02:52:28Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002711

For our return data,

02:52:30Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002712

kaya ako po binabanggit yung return data

02:52:32Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002713

bilang pagtugon din po

02:52:34Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002714

doon sa mandato ng National Reintegration

02:52:36Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002715

Center for OFWs

02:52:38Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002716

to have a baseline of all returning OFWs.

02:52:42Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002717

Amin pong

02:52:42Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002718

niroroll out this year na rin

02:52:43Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002719

ang pagniniguro po na alam natin

02:52:46Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002720

kung ilan yung nanunumbalik and for

02:52:48Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002721

how long they are actually staying in the

02:52:50Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002722

Philippines. So, we

02:52:52Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002723

have partnered with academic

02:52:54Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002724

institutions to ensure na

02:52:56Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002725

meron tayong baseline. So, that's one, sir.

02:52:58Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002726

At least, hindi tayo sumusugod

02:53:00Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002727

sa policymaking na wala tayong

02:53:02Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002728

baseline. So, meron po tayo nun.

02:53:04Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002729

But on a more

02:53:05Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002730

program-centered approach,

02:53:08Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002731

sir, regarding yung

02:53:10Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002732

targeted natin, naniniwala

02:53:12Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002733

po kami sa DMW at

02:53:14Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002734

tayo na rin po sa pangkalahatan

02:53:16Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002735

that reintegration should not be

02:53:18Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002736

understood simply. At the

02:53:20Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002737

point of vision, OFW returns to the Philippines,

02:53:22Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002738

we need to have targeted

02:53:24Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002739

programs at each and every stage

02:53:26Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002740

kaya nga po na nabanggit kanina.

02:53:28Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002741

Madalas po naririnig namin kay

02:53:30Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002742

SecHans pag sinasabi niya that

02:53:31Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002743

skills are the highest form of protection

02:53:34Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002744

and we do subscribe to that one, sir.

02:53:37Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002745

Binanggit ko na po kanina

02:53:38Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002746

that we offer skills training

02:53:40Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002747

at every point, sir. Not only

02:53:42Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002748

dito sa Pilipinas, we have

02:53:44Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002749

online programs that are being

02:53:46Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002750

offered with TESDA. We have

02:53:48Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002751

on-site programs that are being

02:53:50Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002752

offered sa mga OFWs natin

02:53:52Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002753

through our migrant workers offices

02:53:54Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002754

and our welfare offices overseas.

02:53:56Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002755

At sa pangkalahatan, sir, para

02:53:58Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002756

po doon sa mga

02:54:00Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002757

kabuhayan programs natin, we

02:54:02Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002758

target not only those that are

02:54:04Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002759

already going home.

02:54:06Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002760

In fact, sir, isa po sa mga

02:54:08Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002761

flagship programs namin yung Likha.

02:54:10Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002762

Linangin ng kakayahan sa kabuhayan.

02:54:12Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002763

Ito yung aming business

02:54:14Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002764

plan competition. We have three segments.

02:54:17Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002765

Yung mga bumalik na

02:54:18Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002766

kababaihan, Likhang Kababaihan.

02:54:20Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002767

Yung mga bumalik na seafarer, Likhang Marino.

02:54:22Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002768

And we also have one, yung pinakamalaki

02:54:24Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002769

namin, which is actually Likhang Global.

02:54:27Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002770

Those who are still on,

02:54:28Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002771

site. Nasa ibang bansa pa po sila.

02:54:30Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002772

And the goal, sir,

02:54:32Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002773

is to, hopefully,

02:54:34Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002774

mapabilis po yung pag-stay nila

02:54:36Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002775

sa ibang bansa. If not,

02:54:38Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002776

huling kontrata na nila yun dahil

02:54:40Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002777

meron na silang livelihood o

02:54:42Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002778

negosyo na aabutan dito sa Pilipinas.

02:54:44Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002779

So, these are

02:54:45Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002780

some of the interventions.

02:54:48Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002781

Isa pa po, sir, of course,

02:54:50Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002782

parte rin po ng inyong

02:54:52Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002783

binalangkas na Section 17

02:54:53Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002784

sa DMW

02:54:56Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002785

Charter, sa 11641.

02:54:58Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002786

Yung paglalagay po doon

02:55:00Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002787

that reintegration is targeted

02:55:02Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002788

not only for OFWs, but also

02:55:04Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002789

for their families. Mahalaga po ito,

02:55:06Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002790

Mr. Chair, kasi

02:55:07Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002791

pag tinignan po natin

02:55:09Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002792

yung iibang bansa o

02:55:12Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002793

pag-aabroad ng isang OFW, hindi

02:55:14Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002794

lamang naman po ito nakatoon sa pansariling

02:55:16Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002795

aspiration. Importante po

02:55:18Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002796

yung pangarap din ng pamilya

02:55:20Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002797

niya. So, we are able to provide

02:55:22Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002798

the skills training, the

02:55:24Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002799

livelihood assistance as well to OFWs

02:55:26Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002800

and their families as well.

02:55:28Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002801

Na nandito pa sa Pilipinas.

02:55:30Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002802

Ito po ay bilang

02:55:32Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002803

pagtugon na rin doon sa

02:55:33Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002804

mga pangangailangan din nila. At

02:55:35Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002805

hopefully, sir, with this one,

02:55:37Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002806

mapabilis yung kontrata

02:55:39Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002807

para makauwi sila. If not, sir,

02:55:42Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002808

they would be able to have more choices

02:55:44Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002809

in getting more or better

02:55:46Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002810

employments overseas.

02:55:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002810-split-2

Thank you for that.

02:55:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002811

And the key word there is

02:55:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002812

getting more choices because

02:55:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002813

the main

02:55:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002814

point that we

02:55:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002815

wanted to emphasize when we

02:55:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002816

established the Department of

02:56:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002817

Migrant Workers is so that

02:56:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002818

our Kababayans will

02:56:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002819

not be forced to go

02:56:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002820

abroad. And that's why there's a sunset provision

02:56:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002821

to ensure that

02:56:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002822

it will not be a policy of the

02:56:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002823

government to send

02:56:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002824

workers abroad, but

02:56:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002825

to take good care of them,

02:56:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002826

empower them, and have

02:56:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002827

this reintegration program

02:56:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002828

so that there will come a time that

02:56:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002829

going abroad will no longer be

02:56:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002830

a choice,

02:56:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002831

but that's just an option.

02:56:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002832

Yun yung gusto

02:56:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002833

natin pagduunan ng pasok. I'm glad

02:56:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002834

that you made mention about

02:56:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002835

a career path. For example, you made

02:56:37Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002836

mention about a kasambahay to becoming

02:56:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002837

a caregiver,

02:56:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002838

perhaps auto mechanic to

02:56:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002839

becoming an engineer. And just to put

02:56:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002840

on record, Senator Bongo and

02:56:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002841

I passed this

02:56:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002842

expanded tertiary education

02:56:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002843

and equivalency

02:56:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002844

and

02:56:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002845

what's A?

02:56:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002846

Accreditation program.

02:56:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002847

Batas na po yan.

02:57:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002848

And yan,

02:57:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002849

sa career na tinitignan natin.

02:57:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002850

But on the other side of the

02:57:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002851

equation is

02:57:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002852

for example,

02:57:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002853

for a

02:57:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002854

would-be businessman,

02:57:15Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002855

ano yung pupwedeng

02:57:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002856

magawa niya? Ang importante dito is

02:57:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002857

mas mapataas eh. Mas mapataas

02:57:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002858

natin, hindi lang level.

02:57:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002859

And that's why we're very specific in this particular

02:57:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002860

section, itong section 17

02:57:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002861

na

02:57:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002862

hindi lang

02:57:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002863

hindi lang nga dun sa

02:57:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002864

pre-deployment to employment

02:57:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002865

overseas to voluntary

02:57:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002866

or involuntary return

02:57:37Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002867

and should cover

02:57:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002868

economic, social, psychosocial

02:57:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002869

skills, social protection and other

02:57:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002870

dimensions. And this suggests

02:57:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002871

that yung reintegration

02:57:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002872

should not simply mean

02:57:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002873

preventing an OFW from going abroad

02:57:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002874

again. An OFW may

02:57:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002875

return home, acquire new

02:57:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002876

skills, build

02:57:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-002877

savings, spend

Senator Joel Villanueva

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

02:58:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

02:58:34Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002896

Secretary for Reintegration said,

02:58:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002897

truly, yung

02:58:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002898

ano bang ibig sabihin ng successful

02:58:40Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002899

reintegration? Ibig sabihin

02:58:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002900

ng providing

02:58:44Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002901

or a person or

02:58:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002902

an OFW has options.

02:58:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002903

Options. Because

02:58:51Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002904

ang lagi naman po nating naririnig,

02:58:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002905

paulit-ulit naman po yan, Mr.

02:58:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002906

Chair. Kaya daw sila

02:58:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002907

umalis, napilitan silang umalis

02:58:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002908

dahil yun lang po ang trabaho

02:59:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002909

na available sa kanila.

02:59:02Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002910

With reintegration full cycle,

02:59:05Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002911

ang tinitingnan lamang ay

02:59:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002912

hindi yung entire migration cycle,

02:59:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002913

tinitingnan din namin, of course,

02:59:11Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002914

the involvement of

02:59:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002915

the family as mentioned by ASEC

02:59:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002916

Kiko. Sa isang pamilya

02:59:16Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002917

ngayon, kung ang sweldo ng

02:59:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002918

ating, for example po, ang kababayan

02:59:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002919

ating domestic worker na

02:59:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002920

ang sweldo ay $400-$500

02:59:25Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002921

nasa 30 mil,

02:59:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002922

po yan sa isang

02:59:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002923

buwan. And

02:59:30Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002924

according to the

02:59:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002925

Ebon Foundation

02:59:33Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002926

research, Mr. Chair, yung

02:59:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002927

living wage for a family

02:59:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002928

of five, I think, is

02:59:40Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002929

around

02:59:41Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002930

1,300 plus

02:59:44Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002931

peso per day. That would be

02:59:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002932

around 34-35,000.

02:59:48Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002933

So talaga pong

02:59:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002934

yung hinahabol natin

02:59:52Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002935

na income ng

02:59:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002936

pamilya, medyo

02:59:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002937

malayo po yun doon sa

02:59:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002938

sinisweldo.

03:00:00Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002939

ating mga kababayan. Kaya, Mr. Chair,

03:00:02Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002940

layon ng DMW

03:00:04Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002941

at OWA magbigay

03:00:05Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002942

asr-002943

additional opportunities,

03:00:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002944

I would say, the better word is

03:00:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002945

opportunities for the OFW,

03:00:15Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

thereby

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003160

getting

a bachelor's degree without

I cannot

03:07:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003172

just

Marami salamat po

Chair. Unang-una po yung

03:08:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003195

nabanggit yun na po na sa

03:08:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003196

skills upskilling, upgrading

03:08:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003197

even yung

03:08:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003198

World Economic Forum po

03:08:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003199

sa Davos, ang

03:08:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003200

affirmation ng global employers

03:08:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003201

toward what they call

03:08:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003202

the upskilling revolution, yun ang term

03:08:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003203

nila. Meaning,

03:08:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003204

it's time to look

03:08:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003205

at the skill sets of the

03:08:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003206

global workforce, the labor market

03:08:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003207

over double use, and

03:08:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003208

including their families, and

03:08:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003209

find ways in which we can

03:09:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003210

upgrade their skills

03:09:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003211

or possibly

03:09:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003212

find

03:09:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003213

jobs where they are most

03:09:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003214

suited kung nasaan ang

03:09:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003215

proper skill sets nila at proper

03:09:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003216

matching sa job markets here

03:09:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003217

and abroad. Kaya nga po,

03:09:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003218

strategy yun as you

03:09:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003219

may have heard, Mr. Chair,

03:09:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003220

yung

03:09:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003221

sinasabi nga na halimbawa yung

03:09:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003222

mga domestic workers natin lalo na

03:09:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003223

sa far-flung areas,

03:09:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003224

Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao,

03:09:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003225

female workers in

03:09:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003226

regions and provinces

03:09:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003227

who seem to be caught

03:09:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003228

in a so-called recruitment trap

03:09:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003229

na tila baga ang alok na lang ng trabaho

03:09:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003230

sa kanila ay domestic work.

03:09:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003231

When sa totoo lang,

03:09:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003232

ang dami pong job opportunities

03:09:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003233

abroad for caregiving,

03:09:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003234

many of them anyway end up taking

03:09:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003235

care of the sick, the elderly,

03:09:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003236

and children when they go

03:09:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003237

abroad. So ito po

03:09:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003238

kasama sa pakikipag-usap natin

03:09:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003239

sa bilateral strategy natin

03:10:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003240

kaya that is part two.

03:10:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003241

That is the second element

03:10:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003242

of our quality enhancement.

03:10:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003243

Yung international

03:10:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003244

cooperation po na sinasagawa natin.

03:10:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003245

So by way of example,

03:10:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003246

300 hotel workers

03:10:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003247

have been employed through G2G

03:10:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003248

a G2G arrangement in Croatia.

03:10:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003249

Iba po

03:10:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003250

sa kanila would otherwise

03:10:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003251

have been trapped in a domestic

03:10:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003252

worker market.

03:10:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003253

Yun na lang

03:10:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003254

ang alok sa kanila.

03:10:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003255

Yes po.

03:10:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003256

Sa hotel sector

03:10:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003257

sa Croatia na

03:10:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

lumalawig na rin po sa other areas

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003259

and possibly

03:10:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003260

sa caregiving. Ang caregiving

03:10:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003261

03:10:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003262

sa Israel, sa Japan,

03:10:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003263

at iba pang mga lugar.

03:10:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003264

Ngayon, even in a country

03:10:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003265

such as Bahrain,

03:10:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003266

meron ng tinatawag na patient care

03:10:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003267

job category.

03:10:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003268

Kung saan nakikita na rin na

03:10:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003269

hindi lamang domestic work ang

03:11:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003270

kinakailangan na offer sa isang

03:11:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003271

lalo na kababaihan na

03:11:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003272

and yun nga po,

03:11:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003273

bilateral cooperation,

03:11:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003274

regional cooperation, multilateral

03:11:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003275

discussions at the ILO for instance

03:11:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003276

na pag-usapan yung care economy

03:11:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003277

03:11:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003278

nauna po nga po kayo sa kongreso

03:11:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003280

yung Caregivers Act.

03:11:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003281

At yung pag-linang nito ay

03:11:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003282

napapanahon na. We're working closely

03:11:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003283

kaya kasama namin si Sec Francis

03:11:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003284

at ang OWA at si Sec Kiko

03:11:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003285

Benitez dun sa

03:11:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003286

partnership na nabanggit.

03:11:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003287

Kasi kailangan po talaga ang

03:11:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003288

mindset namin. Hindi lamang yung

03:11:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003289

improvement of quality ng OFWs

03:11:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003290

kundi pati yung quality

03:11:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003291

ng mga workers natin dito.

03:11:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003292

Yun pong mga

03:11:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003293

protective welfare measures

03:11:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003294

such as yung

03:11:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003295

ratification ng C-190

03:11:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003296

or anti-workplace

03:11:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003297

harassment. Yung pagtanggal po

03:11:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003298

ng night care, night work prohibition

03:11:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003299

para sa mga kababaihang workers.

03:12:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003300

Yun po are all point in the direction

03:12:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003301

of enhancing

03:12:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003302

the quality of work.

03:12:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003303

At hindi lamang sa mga tinatawag

03:12:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003304

na elementary occupations

03:12:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003305

o di kaya domestic work. There's

03:12:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003306

nothing wrong with domestic work. Ang sarili ko pong

03:12:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003307

nanay ay naging domestic worker.

03:12:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003308

Nung nawalan po ng trabahong tatay ko.

03:12:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003309

So,

03:12:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003310

ito po ay mahalaga

03:12:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003311

03:12:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003390

300,000. Pinaka-latest po dito yung sinarado natin sa Santiago City na kung saan dalawa po yung hinuli natin mismo para ipakulong at mabigyan po ng hustisya.

03:15:11Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

Maliban po dito sa preventive approach, meron po tayong remedial approach, yung tinatawag po nating legal assistance sa lahat po na nabibiktima ng IR or TIP na kung saan nakikipagtulungan po tayo sa National Prosecution Service, sa DOJ para po ma-prosecute.

Meron po tayo hindi bababa sa 16 convictions na ng IR at TIP.

Dahil aktibo po yung mga governors at mayors sa kampanya ng illegal recruitment.

03:16:01Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

Hindi rin po natin matatawaran ang tulong na ibinibigay ng ibang NGOs, religious organizations at legal organizations tulad ng IBP na kung saan meron po tayong MOA.

03:16:13Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003397

Doon po sa MOA natin with IBP, tumutulong po yung kanilang mga IBP members para tumulong sa ating mga victims.

asr-003398

At syempre, yung AMLAC. Importante po yun.

03:16:26Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003399

Yung mga ginagawa ng ating mahal na sekretary, dahil yung AMLAC, sila yung may authority to track the illegally collected amounts.

03:16:36Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003400

Tapos syempre, i-identify natin yan, i-freeze natin, and i-recover natin.

03:16:42Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003401

So may mga DAFI po kaming tinatawag, yung Deputized AMLAC Investigators, na kung saan yung mga aming MWPB staff at regional officers namin,

03:16:52Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003402

ay binibigyan ng authority ng AMLAC para po sa ganitong klase.

Mga kaedad po natin.

03:18:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003446

20%?

03:18:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003447

Mr. Senator.

03:18:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003448

Okay.

03:18:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003449

Mga kaedad po natin, ang bago natin yung mga...

03:18:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003450

That's finally a good news kasi kanina,

03:18:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003451

72% J.O.s.

03:18:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003452

So, this is a good news.

03:18:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003453

Music to my ears.

03:18:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003454

Like-minded po tayong lahat ngayon,

03:18:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003455

kaya mas vibrant ang work environment natin

03:18:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003456

sa DMW.

03:18:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003457

Thank you for that. And that's a welcome development.

03:18:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003458

And yun lang,

03:18:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003459

siguro, I don't know who can

03:18:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003460

answer this. Yung campaign naman natin

03:18:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003461

against online or legal recruitment,

03:18:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003462

isa yan sa madalas

03:18:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003463

na nakukuha naming complaints.

03:18:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003464

So, of course, prevention,

03:18:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003465

prosecution, conviction.

03:18:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003466

Kasi if you look at, for example,

03:19:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003467

yung report na

03:19:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003468

ni-report, we were able

03:19:05Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003469

to take down 87,011

03:19:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003470

online scam posts

03:19:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003471

in 2025.

03:19:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003472

And 44,079

03:19:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003473

in the first semester of

03:19:17Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003474

2026.

03:19:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003475

So, makita pa lang natin dito sa figures,

03:19:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003476

talagang yan yung pinakaabala

03:19:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003477

ng mga kawatan.

03:19:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003478

But, of course, ibang storya na

03:19:27Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003479

itong conviction.

03:19:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003480

And I'm happy kanina, you made mention

03:19:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003481

16 convictions doon sa

03:19:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003482

19 closures

03:19:35Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003483

ng mga regional offices natin.

03:19:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003484

But dito sa online

03:19:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003485

scams,

03:19:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003486

we were only

03:19:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003487

the recorded

03:19:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003488

conviction in 2025

03:19:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003489

is 9,

03:19:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003490

4 in the first half of

03:19:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003491

2026.

03:19:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003492

But I really think,

03:19:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003493

we have to do

03:19:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003494

more dito sa

03:19:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003495

campaign natin

03:20:01Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003496

against online illegal recruitment.

03:20:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003497

Where are we on this,

03:20:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003498

Secretary or USEC?

03:20:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003499

If anyone who can

03:20:09Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003500

answer this question, please.

03:20:12Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003501

Mr. Chair, ang

03:20:13Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003502

pinakalatest po na modus operandi

03:20:15Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003503

kasi ngayon na mga illegal recruiters

03:20:17Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003504

pagdating sa online, yung

03:20:19Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003505

identity theft, yung nagpapanggap sila

03:20:22Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003506

bilang sila, for example,

03:20:24Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003507

yung isang lisensya,

03:20:25Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003508

doong recruitment agency.

03:20:27Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003509

At pag binerify mo yan, siya nga talaga.

03:20:30Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003510

At sila pa ang

03:20:31Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003511

nagpapadala ng emails sa mga

03:20:33Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003512

bibiktimahin nila using the

03:20:35Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003513

identity of a legitimate

03:20:37Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003514

license agency. Yun po ang

03:20:39Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003515

pinakamahirap na hanapin.

03:20:41Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003516

Yun ang pinakamahirap na i-prevent.

03:20:43Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003517

Dahil kahit na anong

03:20:45Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003518

klaseng information, kahit na anong klaseng

03:20:47Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003519

information drive ang gawin natin, maloloko

03:20:49Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003520

at maloloko nila. Kaya iisa po yung

03:20:51Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003521

aming advice dyan. Ang advice namin,

03:20:54Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003522

iwasan makipagpapadala.

03:20:55Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003523

Iwasan makipagtransact online.

03:20:56Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003524

Kinakailangan pumunta physically

03:20:58Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003525

doon sa main branch ng office

03:21:01Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003526

ng licenses agency o sa branch sila

03:21:03Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003527

at makipag-usap

03:21:04Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003528

personally doon sa

03:21:06Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003529

license officer ng agency na iyon

03:21:09Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003530

at huwag magbayad digitally.

03:21:11Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003531

Kasi doon po

03:21:12Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003532

nagkakaroon ng kalukuhan. Pag magbabayad

03:21:15Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003533

sila through a wallet,

03:21:16Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003534

through a payment facility

03:21:20Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003535

na kung saan,

03:21:21Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003536

biro nyo po, Mr. Chair, sasabihin

03:21:23Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003537

reservation fee,

03:21:25Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003538

3,000. Last 10 slots,

03:21:27Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003539

kailangan bayaran, one day.

03:21:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003540

And sometimes, because

03:21:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003541

it's pretty cheap,

03:21:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003542

they would fall for it.

03:21:34Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003543

Exactly, Mr. Chair.

03:21:35Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003544

Without knowing na illegal or

03:21:37Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003545

haktsaw yung... And then when they check it,

03:21:39Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003546

it's there in the list.

03:21:41Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003547

Opo. Ato yung destination,

03:21:43Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003548

Hungary, tapos yung registered employer,

03:21:46Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003549

tama lahat.

03:21:47Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003550

Sakto lahat kasi nakita na nila

03:21:50Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003551

yung gap.

03:21:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003552

So that is your advice, no? Never, never

03:21:53Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003553

talk to...

03:21:55Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003554

Talk to these people online.

03:21:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003555

And do not use

03:21:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003556

e-wallets in paying.

03:22:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003557

Now,

03:22:03Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003558

at the same time,

03:22:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003559

was it yesterday or two days ago,

03:22:06Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003560

I just saw this

03:22:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003561

news item

03:22:10Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003562

and that

03:22:13Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003563

gave me the idea of asking

03:22:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003564

this question as to how

03:22:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003565

the department is coordinating,

03:22:19Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003566

for example, with the immigration

03:22:20Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003567

and law enforcement

03:22:22Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003568

authorities when illegal,

03:22:25Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003569

uh, recruitment networks

03:22:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003570

allegedly involve government

03:22:28Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003571

personalities, no? Personnel

03:22:31Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003572

and other, uh, insiders.

03:22:33Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003573

Ito, yung September

03:22:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003574

17 lang, NBI reported

03:22:37Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003575

yung arrest an immigration officer

03:22:39Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003576

for allegedly facilitating

03:22:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003577

the departure of five Thailand-bound

03:22:43Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003578

potential trafficking

03:22:45Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003579

victims. Uh, despite

03:22:47Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003580

incomplete travel documents

03:22:49Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003581

and, uh,

03:22:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003582

in exchange po ito

03:22:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003583

for a reported 40,000

03:22:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003584

per passenger. So, I think

03:22:56Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003585

yung, yung, yung, yung coordination

03:22:58Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003586

din po, no? With, with, uh,

03:23:00Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003587

with other government, uh, law

03:23:02Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003588

enforcement, uh, authorities.

03:23:04Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003589

Uh, mahalaga din. And, uh,

03:23:07Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003590

siguro yung isa pang question that I'd like

03:23:08Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003591

to raise is, uh,

03:23:11Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003592

dito, yung,

03:23:12Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003593

uh, the rate

03:23:14Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003594

when you talk about adjudication

03:23:16Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003595

na disposition rate, it

03:23:18Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003596

fell from 51.23%

03:23:21Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003597

in 2025

03:23:23Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003598

to 0.12%.

03:23:24Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003599

I'm not sure if this is

03:23:26Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003600

a correct, no, no, uh, figure.

03:23:29Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003601

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

03:23:30Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003602

Uh, in the first semester of

03:23:32Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003603

2020, the alternative

03:23:34Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003604

dispute resolution disposition rate

03:23:36Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003605

also declined from 96%

03:23:38Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003606

to 88%. So,

03:23:41Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003607

the, the possible question

03:23:42Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003608

here is why did DMW's adjudication

03:23:44Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003609

disposition rate fall

03:23:46Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003610

to only 0.12% in the

03:23:48Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003611

first semester of 2026?

03:23:50Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003612

Despite your new rules,

03:23:52Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003613

uh, intended to

03:23:54Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003614

expedite and decentralize the resolution

03:23:57Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003615

of, uh, uh, this, uh, OFW

03:23:59Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-003616

cases? Uh, Yusek?

03:24:01Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003617

Yes, Mr. Chair, with the permission.

03:24:02Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003618

Ang KPI po kasi namin, o yung, uh,

03:24:05Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003619

key performance indicator namin dyan,

03:24:06Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003620

ay 50% of the

03:24:08Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003621

docketed cases for the particular

03:24:10Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003622

year should be resolved 100%.

03:24:13Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003623

Yan po yung KPI namin.

03:24:15Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003624

Ngayon, ang cases po, siyempre,

03:24:17Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003625

meron pong cycle yan, eh.

03:24:19Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003626

Filing, and then

03:24:20Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003627

siyempre may

03:24:21Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003628

sending of sublinas,

03:24:24Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003629

initial hearing, initial prop, uh,

03:24:26Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003630

proper, uh, presentation

03:24:28Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003631

of evidence, and then the, uh,

03:24:31Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003632

submission of position papers,

03:24:33Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003633

and then final resolution. So,

03:24:35Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003634

sa first semester, Mr. Chair,

03:24:37Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003635

yun yung initial phase.

03:24:38Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003636

So, siyempre, hindi matatapos po yun.

03:24:41Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003637

Yung final phase. Doon ka lang siguro

03:24:42Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003638

sa sub-P9 hearing. Yes po,

03:24:44Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003639

12%. So, by,

03:24:46Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-003640

by the time we reach second semester,

03:24:48Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

100% po yan, Mr. Chair.

03:24:51Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

Okay. That, that, that answers
