asr-000052

Honorable members, distinguished colleagues and esteemed guests, good afternoon.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000053

We welcome our guests from the Department of Justice,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000054

led by Secretary Fredderick A. Vida,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000055

together with the heads of its attached agencies.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000056

Today, we deliberate on the proposed

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000057

budget of the Department of Justice

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000058

and its attached agencies for fiscal year 2027

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000059

with a total obligation budget of 46.435 billion pesos,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000060

inclusive of automatic appropriations.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000061

This represents only 0.68% of the 7.2 trillion peso national budget

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000062

and is about 2% higher than the previous budget.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000063

In 2025, the DOJ recorded important operational gains.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000064

The National Prosecution Service handled 428,779 cases and disposed or resolved 395,780, a 99.12% disposition rate, while the prosecution success rate improved to 90.84%. The NBI also conducted 56,212 investigations

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000065

and processed 6.62 million clearance applications.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000066

While the PCGG reported about 1.57 billion pesos in recoveries

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000067

and income from surrendered or sequestered assets.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000068

These gains, however, must be sustained amid significant resource pressures.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000069

Under the fiscal year 2027 NEP,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000070

the Bureau of Immigration budget is reduced by 35.8%,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000071

the NBI by 22.3%,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000072

and the Office for Alternative Dispute Resolution,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000073

by 16.3%.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000074

In DOJ OSEC,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000075

funding for the

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000076

Special Enforcement and Protection Subprogram

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000077

is reduced by almost half,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000078

including lower allocations for anti-trafficking,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000079

anti-cybercrime,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000080

and OSAEC-CSAEM.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000081

The corrections program also faces a 21.05% reduction,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000082

including a cut in victims' compensation services

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000083

from 19 million to 8 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000084

At the same time,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000085

68.32% of the Department's

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000086

fiscal year 2027 budget is for

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000087

personal services,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000088

while leaving 24.42% for MOOE

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000089

and only 7.26% for capital outlay.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000090

The Committee must therefore determine

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000091

whether the proposed budget can preserve

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000092

the DOJ's 2025 gains

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000093

asr-000094

prison decongestion,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000095

asr-000097

cybercrime and trafficking,

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000098

victim compensation,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000099

and access to justice.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000100

We look forward to the Department's

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000101

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000159

to uphold the rule of law

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000160

and serve as the Department's principal law agency.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000161

In pursuit of its vision

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

to foster a just and peaceful society

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000163

rooted in transparency,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000164

accountability,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000165

fairness, and truth,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000166

the Department executes its mission,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000167

by delivering an effective,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000168

efficient,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000169

and equitable administration of justice nationwide.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000170

The Department

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000171

administers the criminal justice system

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000172

through the investigation of crimes,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000173

the prosecution of offenders,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000174

and the administration of the correctional system.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000175

Beyond criminal justice,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000176

the Department also maintains oversight

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000177

over immigration,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000178

citizenship,

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000179

and land titling system.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000180

Above all,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000181

the Department,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000182

guarantees social justice

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000183

by extending free legal assistance

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000184

to our most vulnerable

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000185

indigent citizens.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000186

In the next few slides, we will highlight

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000187

some of the key operational accomplishments

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000188

of the Department.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000189

The Department, through the National Prosecution

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000190

Service, or NPS,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000191

consistently demonstrated

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000192

enhanced prosecutorial output

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000193

and case management efficiency

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000194

over the past five years.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000195

More significantly,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000196

in 2025,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000197

the NPS handled a heavy total

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000198

caseload of

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000199

428,779

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000200

cases. By year end,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000201

395,780

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000202

of these

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000203

were disposed and resolved,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000204

resulting in 99.12%

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000205

of cases resolved within the

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000206

prescribed 120 days,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000207

improving upon the 99%

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000208

accomplishment recorded in

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000209

2024. The

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000210

resolved cases include all those

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000211

complaints under preliminary investigation,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000212

inquest, and motion for

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000213

reconsideration.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000214

Turning to court dispositions,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000215

the Department has consistently

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000216

sustained high prosecution

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000217

success rates, or PSR,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000218

over the past five years.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000219

At present, the prosecution

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000220

success rate measures the proportion

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000221

of convictions

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000222

in relation to total convictions

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000223

and acquittals. The PSR

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000224

excludes other court dispositions,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000225

such as dismissal,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000226

files, archivals, and successful

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000227

mediation. As shown in

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000228

this slide, the Department

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000229

posts an upward trajectory

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000230

in terms of PSR.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000231

The PSR rose to

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000232

90.84% in

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000233

2025 from 90.14%

if not surpassing its high performance results.

asr-000374

The total proposed budget of the DOJ, including its constituent and attached agencies for 2027,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000375

amounts to 46.435 billion

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000376

as compared with fiscal year 2026 approved budget of 45.525 billion.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000377

As you may note, the DOJ budget for 2027 is retained at 0.64 percent or less than 1 percent

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000378

of the published total NEP budget of 7.2 trillion. Overall, for the FY2027 NEP-based budget,

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000381

accounts for the capital outlay of select agencies of the department. The slight increase in the

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000382

overall NEP budget of the DOJ is attributed mainly to the increased funding requirements

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

for personal salaries and other compensation. For 2027, the department-wide budget proposal

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000399

criminal complaints handled by the NPS is set at 97 percent. The

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000400

Department, through the Witness Protection Program, aims to act on all

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000401

applications for witness coverage and that 95.34 percent of

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000402

investigations undertaken by special enforcement units must be completed. The

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000403

total recommended appropriations for our corrections program in 2027 is reduced

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000404

by 21.05 percent. Compared to our current year's approved funding, the

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000405

recommended budget for our pardons and parole services is slightly reduced by

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000406

2.63 percent at 37 million. On the other hand, the recommended budget for victim

compensation service is cut by more than half from 19 million in 2026 to 8

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000408

million in 2027. With significantly reduced budgets for next year, the Board

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000409

of Pardons and Parole will ensure that 99.72 percent of appropriations for

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000410

parole and executive clemency are acted upon and that 100 percent of board

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000411

resolutions on the grant of parole and executive clemency are issued within the

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000412

prescribed period.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000413

Moreover, the Board of Claims will have to act upon all applications for victim

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000414

compensation next year. For 2027, the legal staff shall ensure that 97.07

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000415

percent of requests for legal services are acted upon with a working budget of

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000416

205 million, which is 4.59 percent higher than the 2026 budget. For attached and

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000417

constituent agencies, we start with the Bureau of Corrections.

asr-000422

billion, which is 35.8

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000423

percent lower than the 2026 budget. Given this, the BI is set to clear the

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000424

arrival or departure of 99.99 percent of foreign passengers.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000425

Further, the BI needs to dispose, within 60 days, 95.91 percent of their

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

asr-000426

intelligence cases.

Source

DOJ Undersecretary Majken Anika S. Gran-Ong

Maliban po doon sa mga yung mga naglalaro po yung mga anak natin or yung nagpa-participate

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000540

uh a separate chat room.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

Kung saan ang nakikita po nating pattern, may mga groomers po na tinatawag doon

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000542

where they are enhanced yung yung level of violence

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

ongoing law enforcement activities. But up to that extent,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000546

I can share with you, with the members of the

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000587

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000588

Secretary, paano niyo nasisiguro na walang religious

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000589

profiling or double standard sa magiging ganitong

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000590

insidente lalo na yung nangyari sa Zamboanga City case

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000591

recently, especially in sensitive cases like this.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000592

Well, the Department of Justice would be consistent with all this.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000593

Wala po ditong labeling, walang ano.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000594

We will just look at where the evidence will lead us.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000595

We will look at this uh guided by the Lady Blind Justice.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000596

Kung ano lang po iyong ebidensya.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000597

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000598

Sana nga po, Mr.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000599

Chair, at gusto ko lamang pong ma-manifest dito na kaming

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000600

mga Muslim we are against extremism and

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000601

terrorism influencing our children.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000602

But we have to ask DOJ on our law

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000603

enforcement agencies to ensure that religious

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000604

profiling is avoided as it could also put

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000605

Muslim communities in danger of human rights violation.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000606

Pag Muslim sinasabing terorista pero

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000607

pag Katoliko o iba pang mga relihiyon, hindi sinasabi, di ba?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000608

So sana iniiwasan po natin

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000609

na ma-include yung religion.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000610

Instead of focusing on the religion, let's focus on the problem itself.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000611

Hindi po religion ang problema dito.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000612

Anyway, magko-continue po ako, Mr. Chair.

asr-000652

Una, ang DENR sa pamamagitan ng LMB.

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-000653

Nag-i-issue po ng patents. Pangalawa, sa DAR

problema at kung sakaling mayroon, magkano naman po ang allocation ninyo sa NEP?

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-000665

pagkakaroon po ng mga ah applications, programs na makakatulong upang maiwasan ang overlapping.

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-000666

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Okay. Linawin ko lang, ang JAO No. 1 ay ito iyong mga ahensya na involved patungkol sa

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000683

pagbibigay ng titulo sa mga lupain. Kasama na diyan ang NCIP, DENR, DAR, at ang alam ko po ay kasama rin ang LRA dito.

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-000684

Opo.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000685

Okay. Now, follow-up question po. Ano po iyong ginagawa ninyo kasalukuyan diyan bilang parte po kayo ng JAO para masiguro na hindi na nagkakaroon ng overlapping dahil itong tatlong ahensya ay hindi nagkakasundo?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-000686

Opo. Iyong pong JAO No. 1, lumabas po doon ang NCIP. Nagkaroon po tayo ng panibagong pag-uusap sa ilalim ng leadership ng dati nating kalihim ng Katarungan.

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

Nagkaroon ho ng ugnayan dito pero hindi ho nagbunga sa panibagong usapin ano ho but sa kasalukuyan tinutuloy po namin ang usapin para magkaroon tayo ng konkretong aksyon o policy regarding po itong overlapping of titles po.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000695

Kaya ba ninyong i-issue ang CNO ngayong buwan?

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-000696

Ang lilinawin ko lang po, iyong certificate of lot status po, mayroon po kaming dependency rin po sa DENR.

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

Assuming po na makapagbigay po sa amin ng hinihiling naming mga technical description or records from DENR, maaari po naming mailabas iyan.

Ibig sabihin po, kaya ninyong maibigay ngayong buwan?

I'll start with the Bureau of Corrections.

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000715

Ayan.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000716

I want to discuss yung facility decongestion and regionalization program ng DOJ.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000717

Pangangailangan po kasi ng BUCOR ang humigit kumulang 55 billion para sa regional facilities,

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000718

pero 676 million lang po ang capital outlay nito habang nasa 387% ang overcrowding sa NBP.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000719

Sa ganitong pondo, paano po?

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000720

Maabot ang target na full closure ng NBP by 2028?

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000723

Pag pinagsama-sama, simula ng 2022 hanggang ngayon,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000724

sama pa rin yung hopefully maipasa po yung 472 capital outlay for the...

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000725

maximum security sa [unclear].

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000726

Pag sinama-sama po yun, more than 5 billion po yun.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000727

At ang capacity po na mangyayari na madadagdag is 11,390 additional PDL capacity.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000728

So itong 2025, nadagdagan tayo ng capacity na 1,000.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000729

2026, 2005.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000730

2027, 6,000.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000731

210.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000732

And 2028, 1,600.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000733

Alam po namin na hindi po kayang ibigay lahat ang kailangan namin para lang ma-address yung decongestion.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000734

Pero ang maganda pong nangyayari, nire-repair po namin yung mga sira naming kulungan at nakakatulong po.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000735

Ang report po na sinasite nyo is yung last year pa po yan.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000736

Pero ngayon, sa NBP po,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000737

from 350%, ngayon po, 180% na lang ang congestion.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000738

So, kaya nga po,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000739

iniimbitahan namin kayo para makita nyo kung saan na pupunta yung sinusuporta nyo sa amin.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000740

And surely, we will also look for other ways.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000741

Yung aming property po dito sa New Bilibid Prison,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000742

sa Muntinlupa, humihingi po kami ng permission na ipa-lease na.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000744

Kasi po, yung Muntinlupa po, it should be repurposed.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000745

Napaikutan na po kami ng mga first-class subdivision.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000746

So, ang inisip namin ay gamitin ito for better use para tumakbo ang economy.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000747

And hopefully, may mga targets kaming ine-expect na kung mapapa-lease namin ito for the next five years, makaka-generate kami ng 8 billion.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000749

So, yung po, ang ginagawa namin.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000750

Alam po namin na hindi kaya ng ating gobyerno ibigay lahat ang kailangan ng Bucor.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000751

Pero, I think we are doing our best.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000752

For the past four years, we have already turned around the congestion problem in Bucor.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000753

Mr. Chair, napakagandang balita po niyan.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000754

So, can you repeat lang, DG Katapang?

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000755

Yung from...

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000756

Ilan po?

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000757

From 387% overcrowding, nasa 187 na lang po?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000758

Opo, sa NBP po.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000759

Kasi, kailangan po talagang dahan-dahanin ko na ang paglipat.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000760

So, yung mga napagawa naman natin na outside Metro Manila, doon po sila nililipat.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000761

So, but overall, sa buong pagsamasamahin lahat yung ating mga kulungan, 204 na lang po ang congestion rate.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000762

Sana lang po, Mr.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000763

Mr. Chair, tulad po nang nabanggit ko last year sa ating budget deliberation,

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000764

let's keep in mind lang po sana yung mga pamilya na siyempre karamihan naman po ng mga nade-detain is from NCR.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000765

So, sana po hindi sila ma-displace in other parts of the country, especially yung sa Palawan po.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000766

Diba, papunta na po doon yung main facility.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000767

Kamakailan po, binigyan po kami ni Governor Umali

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000768

dito po sa Nueva Ecija

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000769

ng 60 hectares. Doon po namin ililipat yung reception and diagnostic center.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000770

At yung po rin magiging mga tiga Metro Manila, north of Metro Manila, yung po ang aming target na magiging kulungan nila.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000771

And then south of Metro Manila, meron po kami tinitignan na property.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000772

Magsaswapping po kami ng isang institusyon.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000773

May lupa raw sila sa Laguna ng mga 8,000 hectares na hindi naman nila masyadong ginagamit.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000774

And in exchange, bibigyan po namin sila ng 500 hectares sa Palawan para itayo yung kanilang eskwelahan sa Palawan.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000775

So, pag nangyari po yun, lahat ng tiga Luzon ay hindi na maililipat sa outside Luzon.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000776

Yung mga tiga Luzon, sa Luzon ang makakukulong.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000777

And then lately rin po, yung nakita rin namin na mas marami pa lang tiga Cebu ang mga nakukulong sa Bisaya.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000778

So, we are also coordinating with the governor, the good governor, na bigyan din po kami ng kulungan doon sa lugar

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000779

para yung tuloy-tuloy po natin magiging regionalization yung ating mga PDL.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-000780

Salamat po.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000781

Maraming salamat po, DG Katapang.

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000782

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000783

Napansin ko po doon sa report kanina ng ating department, mostly yung kanilang performance indicators,

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000784

but wala po dito yung utilization po ng budget from last year.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000785

So, maybe we can request our department or the DOJ to provide committee the utilization po ng budget.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000786

As of today po.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-000787

If it is available, please furnish Representative Padernos and a copy to the committee.

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000788

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000791

Ang isa ho yung nagdadagdag tayo ng facilities, no?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000792

Basically, ang isa pa rin ho, pinabibilis din natin yung release natin.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000793

Na nagawa na po natin ng medyo maganda na po ang proseso natin.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000794

Lalo na po yung mga may GCTA nating mga...

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000795

Alam naman po natin yung mga kababayan na natin na naligaw ng landas.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000796

Pero lahat naman po may opportunity ng second chance.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000797

Pag naka-comply na ho sila doon sa requirements ng batas, mag-comply sila sa GCTA,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000798

buong yabang din ho namin pinagmamalaki na ang BUCOR po,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000799

kakibat ang PAO, kakibat po yung ating PPA,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000800

nakapagpa-release na ho tayo ng...

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000801

From 2022, 32,932 PDLs.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000802

So kasama po nito, mas mabilis na po natin na pro-proseso.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000803

Gumamit na rin po tayo dito ng teknolohiya, no?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000804

So ngayon yung mga karpeta, wala na ho yung pagala-gala o nawawalang karpeta.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000805

Ngayon ho sa BUCOR, lahat po, bago pa lang sila pumasok,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000806

naka-digitize na ho. May redundancy plan na ho tayo

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000807

na hindi mawawala yung karpeta.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000808

Kaya po, mas na-anticipate na natin.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000809

At tumataas din yung pag-asa ng ating mga kapatid na nakakulong

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000810

na pag ako'y nagbait dito sa loob, makakalaya na ako sa ganitong panahon.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000811

So, ano ho, dalawang inisyatibo ho,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000812

padamihin yung regional prisons facility natin

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000813

at ang isa, pabilisin din yung releases natin dun sa qualified na po.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000814

Kasi po, ang ayaw po natin ay yung nakakulong,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000815

nakakakuha lang ng abogado ang nare-release.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000816

Dahil sila lang yung nakakapag-file ng writ of habeas corpus.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000817

Kaya po, sa ngayon ho, updated po yung ating releases.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000818

Ang target po ng DOJ diyan ay not a day longer.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000819

Not a day longer if, of course, it's not a perfect system.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000820

We're working on it, we're striving hard para po,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000821

not a day longer yung ating pong mga kapatid na PDLs.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000822

Ito po ang dahilan kaya 180% po.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000823

As of this time po, pero we're working hard para po

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

For my next question is on, with regard to the ano po,

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000827

I'd also like to request from the DOJ yung ating vacancies in every department,

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000828

every agencies, attached agencies,

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000830

ano po yung mga open for applications.

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000831

Kasi may plantilya na po yung mga yan,

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000832

sayang naman po kung hindi ma-fill up yung ating vacancies.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000833

Mayroon po ba tayong brief report on our vacancies?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000834

We will submit a comprehensive report,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000835

but as a summary, Your Honor,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000836

out of the 7,651 authorized plantilya positions

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000837

for the Office of the Secretary, that's the Department of Justice,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000838

we have 6,145 filled up.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000839

And 1,506 unfilled positions.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000840

So, and we would also be happy to report to you na,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000841

nung nag-start po ng administration na to,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000842

especially po yung mga presidential appointees,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000843

we started with a timeline na almost 2 years, yung mga piskal po natin.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000844

Now, with cooperation with DBM and the Office of the President,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000845

na-shorten na po natin to 4 to 5 months po,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000846

yung mga piskal po natin, yung mga prosecutor positions.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000847

And we're also happy to report to this committee

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000848

that since the start of this administration,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000849

from 2,966 prosecutorial position,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000850

the DBM has created additional 1,002.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000851

So, we're now 3,968 prosecutorial positions.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000852

And ang take-up po nito sa public, maganda po.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000853

Meron po kaming mga posisyon, mga Your Honors,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000854

isang posisyon, 103 applicants.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000855

So, we're able to recruit, hopefully, the best and the brightest

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000856

from those in the legal sector so that they join the workforce po

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000857

ng ating National Prosecution Service.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000858

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000859

Gusto ko lang din pong i-discuss yung ating mga petition for review under the DOJ

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000860

kasi based on my experience,

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000861

my experience even before when I was practicing, dun po talaga nagkakaroon ng parang patong-patong

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000862

na kaso. Ano na po bang status doon and paano po na-address ngayon ng ating bagong

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000863

kalihim itong problema na to po?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000864

Of course, when I assumed as acting secretary November 11, sometime in this year po, early

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000865

this year, I issued a department circular. Pag nakita ninyo po yung docket namin, total po iyan ng

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000866

27,000 sa Office of the Secretary, petitions for review, starting as old as panahon pa po

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000867

ni Secretary Raul Gonzalez.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000868

So what happens?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000869

What I did, I issued the department circular. So commencing po November 12, 2025, all petitions

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000870

for review filed starting November 12, I have delegated, I've given authority to all the

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000871

undersecretaries to review them and to ensure na 100% ang clearance rate. Ang nakikita po

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000872

namin, Your Honors, around 200 per week po yung nagpe-petition for review. So around 800

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000873

per month. With eight undersecretaries.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000874

Ang mandate ko po sa kanila is hopefully we clear everything that goes in starting November

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000875

11. Naka-delegate na po sa undersecretaries. Ano naman po ang gagawin ni Secretary ng department

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000876

for those pending November 11 and prior years. So nag-cut off po kami ng January 1, 2022-November 11, 2025.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000877

November 11, 2025. Yan po yung nasa opisina ko and I have certain task forces helping me

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000878

out.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000879

On that, para po ma-resolve siya, ma-resolve siya, different reviewing legal teams po.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000880

And so far po, from those pending from 2020 to 2025, that's around 16,000. That's around

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000881

16,000 po cases. My office has resolved almost 500 na po thus far. But we continue the work.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000882

We continue the work.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000883

For the older ones, yung prior to 2020.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000884

We also have a... We also issued publications to litigants who are parties to those petitions

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000885

for review and we've asked them, basically, to confirm or not to confirm yung interest

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000886

sila on those cases yet. And hopefully, by end of this quarter, Your Honors, no? And

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000887

we will gladly share with the committee how we are moving forward with all these cases.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000889

This is basically po, ang tawag nga po sa mga practitioner dyan, pag pumasok daw sa DOJ, parang black hole.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000890

Hindi na alam kung ano yung nangyari ng petition for review.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000891

But we're trying to address this because this is a check and balance mechanism sa mga field offices po natin.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000892

For everyone's information, we have 250 offices nationwide.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000893

Ito po yung city prosecutor's office, provincial prosecutor's office, regional prosecutor's office.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000894

And also the office of the Secretary of Justice Prosecutorial Service, which is in Padre Faura.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000895

Of all this, the litigant has a remedy going to the Secretary of Justice.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000896

And we're trying to put up a system here so that we resolve them in time.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000897

The problem po is, based on time and motion, talaga pong may challenge ang Department of Justice.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000898

But we cannot naman prohibit filing of these petitions for review.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000899

So it's basically...

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000900

It's basically driven din po from the litigants po na nagpa-file ng petitions sa amin.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000901

But I think, Your Honor, we're in the right direction.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000902

Hopefully, we improve as the months, as the days go by.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000903

Your Honor.

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000909

at Phase 2, 1.347 billion?

May service level agreement po standards ba tayo sa IT providers natin pag nagka-downtime?

asr-000916

ang total po currently is 18, 12 para sa arrival, at for departure, 6 na e-gates po.

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-000917

Para naman po sa T3, ang arrival po, meron pong tatlumpu, or 30.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-000918

Sa departure po, tatlumpu rin po, or 30.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-000919

So ang total po sa Terminals 1 and 3 is 78.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-000920

Pagdating naman po sa Cebu International—Clark, I'm sorry po—Clark International Airport, meron pong tatlo.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-000921

Dito naman po sa Mactan Cebu, tatlong rin po.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-000922

Sa Davao International Airport, dalawa po.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

So yun po ang total number po ng e-gates po natin, not only sa T1 and T3, but sa ibang international airports po, sa labas po ng Metro Manila.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-000924

Ngayon, pagdating naman po sa...

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

Ang Phase 2 po, matatapos po by November 2026. Fully obligated na po yan by that time.

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

So I'd just like to commend, Mr. Chair, yung efforts po ng ating Bureau of Immigration.

If you notice, ating mga kababayan, mas mabilis na ngayon yung proseso pag nasa airport.

Mr. Chair, gusto ko lang po sanang itanong. What is the current budget vis-a-vis total remittance of PCGG?

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000957

And with that contribution, they have a specific...

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000958

Does PCGG have a specific proposal which will not entail additional funding from Congress?

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000959

Mr. Chair, members of the committee, thank you for this opportunity.

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000960

Just for historical context, your honors, in the past 40 years, the PCGG has recovered a total amount of 183 billion in cash,

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000961

125 billion in assets.

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000962

And as of now, during the current administration, the PCGG was able to recover

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000963

8.3 billion worth of assets. As far as budget is concerned, historically, the budget of

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000964

the PCGG has always been below 200 million. So, given that we have already, that it has

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000965

remitted 8.3 billion during the current administration, I would say that the budget of PCGG was really

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000966

given us good returns.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000967

Maraming salamat po. Meron pa po kayong maidadagdag?

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000968

The additional funding from Congress.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000969

Ano po iyon?

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000970

We have a bigger budget now, Your Honors, because PCGG will start paying rent for office

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000971

space. Because before, our office space was free. As one of the conditions, when we sold

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000972

an asset, which is in front of Mega Mall along EDSA, we sold that for 800 million pesos.

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000973

And the buyer was San Miguel. And they have a building, which we are now occupying, and

Source

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang

asr-000974

they gave us a part of the building for occupation.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000976

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Quick manifestation na lang, Mr. Chair. So, base naman po sa report

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000977

ng ating DOJ, res ipsa loquitur. The numbers speak for themselves. Case disposition rate

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000978

po, napakataas, 99%.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000979

Ang success rate nila ng prosecution, also 90 plus percent. And lahat po ng ating mga

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000980

performance indicators, it would appear na the DOJ is really doing their job and exceeding

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000981

our expectation. So, with that said, I would like to manifest my full support for the proposed

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000982

budget. Actually, edit po natin yan.

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000983

I manifest that not just my full support for the proposed budget of the Department of

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000984

Justice, but also the increase of its budget, especially for the NBI and BI, kasi nakita ko

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000985

po ang NBI at BI, 33 percent and 27 percent decrease. Meron po ba tayong brief lang na

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000986

explanation kung bakit po nabawasan ng sobrang taas yung dalawang agencies na yan? But with

Source

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

asr-000987

that said, yun lang po, Mr. Chair.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000988

I believe this would be relative to the absorptive capacity ng agency. This was, of course, this

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000989

is the DBM's call, no? But it was assessed by the DBM yung absorptive capacity of the

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000990

two agencies. That's why we have catch-up plans for 2026, so that they are able to cope

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-000991

with the budget releases for the two respective agencies. But thank you very much, Your Honor,

o binabalik sa gobyerno?

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001017

Actually, kaakibat po ito sa kondisyon nung kanilang pagpasok bilang state witness, Your Honor.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001018

At sa ngayon nga po, nagagamit sila ngayon ng Office of the Ombudsman

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001019

sa patuloy na paglilitis ng mga kasong nakasalang ngayon sa Sandiganbayan at sa RTC.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001020

Kaya po ang patuloy nilang pagganap dun sa terms and conditions

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001021

ng kanilang pagiging state witness, ito po ang kabahagi nun.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001022

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001023

Did you rely just on their word, or did you also

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001024

coordinate with AMLA, get bank secrecy waivers, and do other checking

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001025

para masiguro natin na lahat ng sinasabi nilang ibinalik ay yun na po yun?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001026

Ang naging estratehiya po niyan para makita po yung mga commitment nilang amounts,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001027

tandaan po natin, paalala lang po pala, yung pagiging state witness nila ay case-specific lang ho.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001028

Kaya yung kanilang immunity, dun sa kasong yun lang ho.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001029

Kaya yung may disclosure sila na sila kesyo ay may kinita dun sa project na yun,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001030

yun lamang po sila absuwelto.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001031

Kaya po pag may nadiskubre ang Office of the Ombudsman, ang DOJ, o kung ano mang ahensya,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001032

na ibang bagay na sila'y sangkot pa rin, hindi ho yun saklaw.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001033

Kaya po ang atin po, tinakda po natin yung pagtatalaga nung amount na to,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001034

nagsimula pa po ito panahon ni Secretary, now Ombudsman, Boying Remulla,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001035

na project-specific lang.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001036

Yung sinabi nyo lang na kayo ay sangkot at kayo ay involved,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001037

pero yung immunity mo, dun lang sa particular na project na yun.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001038

Kaya pag may nakita po tayo, tingin ko ho, protektado ang bayan dito.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001039

Pag may nakita ho tayo sa apat na to, sa kanilang apat na individual,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001040

na walang disclosure o may tinago sa atin, pwede pa ho natin silang habulin dun.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001041

Of course, iba po yung sa pananaw ng Office of the Ombudsman.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001042

Iba pong usapin.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001043

Sa amin po, yung pagiging state witness sila under the Witness Protection Program.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001044

Thank you, Secretary Vida.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001045

Doon sa very impressive yung inyong report, lalong-lalo na yung tinatawag ninyong

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001046

prosecutorial success rate, or PSR,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001047

na ngayon na taon na ito, o 2025, ay nasa 90.8%.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001048

Do you have a figure for your PSR for graft and corruption cases?

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001049

Kasi yun na yun po

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001050

ang tinututukan ng taong bayan ngayon.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001051

Gusto naming malaman kung yung mga graft and corruption cases ba

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001052

nabibigyan ng top priority ng ating pamahalaan.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001053

Karamihan ba ng mga nasasangkot ay nakakasuhan at nako-convict?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001054

Opo, opo, Your Honor. We need to disaggregate our data, yung available po sa amin.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001055

And we will submit to the committee, Your Honors, if you may.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001056

We need to disaggregate yung data namin.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001057

And of course, this data doesn't involve cases handled by the Office of the Ombudsman.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001058

Yes.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001059

In fact, I'll go back to that point later.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001060

But I'm just curious, because in 2022, when Secretary, now Ombudsman, Remulla

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001061

occupied the Office of Secretary of Justice,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001062

nabanggit niya na ang conviction rate, hindi po ito PSR, kundi conviction rate,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001063

ay nasa 25% lang.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001064

In fact, he expressed dismay over it.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001065

Now,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001066

your figure of 90% is very impressive,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001067

but it may give the wrong impression to the public

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001068

that we have already overcome our issues with convictions.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001069

So, may I know, does the DOJ keep a separate tab on conviction rate aside from PSR?

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001070

O na-abandonan po ninyo yan?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001071

Actually, hindi po namin.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001072

The prosecution success rate, mix po ito.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001073

Yung conviction ng kaso, kasama na rin po dito yung tinatawag po na nagkaroon po ng compromise agreement.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001074

And based on that compromise, nagkaroon pa rin ng hatol yung husgado sa isang particular na kaso.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001075

Ito po yung pumapasok.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001076

Pero batid po namin, yung 20%, if I recall it right, that would be more particular po.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001077

Yung frustration po ni Secretary Boying at the time was more in the drug cases.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001078

Yung after po, yung after nung 2022, na lumabas na po yung mga tunay na proseso na kahit fiscal ka o judge ka,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001079

na nag-dismiss ka ng kaso base sa ebidensya, hindi ka li-labelan na protector ng droga.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001080

Tapos, ang isa pa rin ho, ito po yung pagtataas namin nung antas, yung from probable cause,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001081

tinaas po ng DOJ, yung antas po ng ebidensya na kailangan natin ngayon,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001082

yung prima facie evidence with reasonable certainty of conviction.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001083

Ang isa pong nakikita naming ehemplo dito ay yung sa, pag nakita po natin yung mga sa United States po,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001084

ang taas po ng kanilang plea bargaining.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001085

Dahil pag plea bargaining, mas mabilis po ang proseso, mas maliit ang resources ng gobyerno.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001086

So, dahil matitibay yung kasong fina-file.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001087

And we see ho the benefit now of our case buildup, Your Honors, with the data we're getting.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001088

Tama po ba, Secretary Vida, na pagdating sa prosecutorial success rate,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001089

hindi po kasama doon sa computation yung mga nadi-dismiss na kaso

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001090

dahil let's say, hindi dumating yung mga testigo, let's say drug case,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001091

yung mga pulis na dapat humarap ay hindi humarap,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001092

kaya nadismiss na agad ang kaso.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001093

Is that captured by the PSR?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001094

Is that captured?

Source

DOJ representative

asr-001095

Not captured in the data.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001096

We need to check. We will submit, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001097

Well, yeah, yeah.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001098

Kasi the data would seem to be parang...

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001099

Kaya ako po tinatanong yung, Secretary,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001100

ay dahil sa experience ko, hindi lang sa drug cases, pati na rin sa corruption cases.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001101

Yung isang lusot na ginagamit ng mga corrupt at ng

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001102

mga criminal, ay they will influence, intimidate, or purchase the witnesses for the prosecution,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001103

hindi na sila haharap, at kung hindi naka-capture yan ng PSR,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001104

then malaking bagay po iyon na hindi natin namo-monitor,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001105

which I think is very important for the DOJ to monitor.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001106

Completely agree with that, Your Honor.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001107

We will do that, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001108

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001109

I think I have a minute and 18 seconds left.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001110

Nabanggit niyo kanina na hindi lang naman ninyo trabaho yung anti-corruption,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001111

and tama-tama po kayo doon.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001112

It's also the job of the Office of the Ombudsman, as well as the Anti-Money Laundering Council, among others.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001113

Kayo po ba ay nag-uusap?

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001114

Do you have a coordination committee or anything like that that discusses, for example, budget that all of you need,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001115

that discusses things that are needed by the government,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001116

beyond yung particular...

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001117

department po ninyo, DOJ?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001118

What we have now, our engagement with the Office of the Ombudsman,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001119

is an existing memorandum of agreement

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001120

relative to investigation of cases and filing of cases

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001121

for those salary grade 27 and above

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001122

for the Office of the Ombudsman and those below

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001123

to be handled by the Department of Justice.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001124

Ang isa pa ho naming engagement with the Office of the Ombudsman now is

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001125

the possibility of coming up with a code on anti-corruption.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001126

This would basically be seeing the learnings that we saw in the recent past,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001127

kung paano natin talaga mas mapapatibay yung mga batas natin on anti-corruption.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001128

We have an ongoing engagement on that.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001129

We have a technical working group, Your Honors,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001130

on possibly doing work on possible legislation

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001131

on coming up with a code on anti-corruption, Your Honors.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001132

So bale, sa kasalukuyan ay ad hoc lang po

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001133

ang pakikipag-usap ninyo ng AMLA at ng OMB.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001134

Kaya ako tinatanong yan, because way back in, I think it was 2006,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001135

I was informed, I learned that there was a study made of the corruption cases

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001136

that went through the Sandiganbayan, at ang nalaman po nila noon

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001137

ay out of 110 persons convicted of graft and corruption cases,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001138

sa sampu lang, only 10 were found to have been actually inside the jail serving their sentence.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001139

Ito po yung mga convicted of graft and corruption by final judgment.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001140

Now, is there, to your knowledge, may I just finish my question, Mr. Chair?

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001141

To your knowledge, is there any centralized system or database

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001142

of the government that is there to keep track na kung yung isang tao ay na-convict ng graft and corruption?

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001143

Kahit sabihin natin, ibang mga criminal cases, at in-appeal niya yung kanyang conviction,

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001144

later na-affirm yung kanyang conviction, namu-monitor ba natin kung talagang nakukulong yung nakonvict?

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001145

Kaya ako po, let me just finish. The reason I ask is because not one agency can keep track of this.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001146

Hindi kaya ng DOJ yan, hindi kaya ng Ombudsman, hindi kaya ng NBP or ng ating nasa DILG.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001147

So, shouldn't there be a consolidated effort by our government?

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001148

Because sayang naman yung milyong-milyones na ginagastos niyo pang-prosecute ng isang tao kung hindi naman pala nakukulong?

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001149

Hindi po ba?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001150

Yes, I completely agree po. Sa particular directive or legal framework should be brought out

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001152

so that those... I completely agree, Your Honor. Ang isa po namin, from our end, which I've initiated po,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001153

we just had a meeting with my regional prosecutors and si PG Dong, is basically to monitor yung mga sinampahan namin ng kaso,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001154

alin yung mga naka-archive doon, dahil at large yung mga akusado. That's something we can look within the DOJ.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001155

Kaya po, nasa poder ko po yun. Pero I completely agree with you, Your Honor.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001156

We need to look at yung mga convictions, kung sino talaga yung nahatulan ng sentensya at nakakulong.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001157

Thank you so much, Secretary Vida. Sana kayo po ang maging pambato nitong talagang kinakailangan natin pagdating sa corruption.

Source

Rep. Jose Manuel Tadeo "Chel" I. Diokno

asr-001158

Thank you so much, Chair Mike.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-001159

Thank you po, Representative Chel Diokno. Next in line from the majority, Representative Brian Poe.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001160

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I'd like to start with some questions for the NBI.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001161

Mr. Chair, I want to ask the NBI, if the NBI has any funding for representatives or attaches in embassies abroad.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001162

Based on RA 10867, Section 7F, the NBI is allowed to have an attaché or representative.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001164

However, the funding, according to the law, must come from the NBI.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001165

I want to ask if in this year's budget, is there an allocation for the NBI?

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-001166

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Wala po. And I'm very thankful that you raised that issue because that is one of the future plans that the NBI is looking at,

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-001167

that we put NBI attachés in at least yung selected po muna na mga areas.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-001168

Because dito po sa atin, sa Pilipinas.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-001169

Yung mga embassies from Europe and the U.S. Embassy itself, meron po silang mga counterparts.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-001170

It's been helping us to address transnational crimes.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-001171

So thank you for raising that issue.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-001172

And kasama po sana sa wish list namin iyan na mapalagay po.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-001173

And I'll take advantage also to request because we want to increase the number of agents.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-001174

Because if we will comply with that, we need additional agents.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-001175

Right now, for the benefit of this committee po and everybody,

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-001176

I'd like to tell you that ang NBI agents po namin sa buong Pilipinas is only about 300 persons lang po.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001177

Mr. Chair, this is quite alarming, no?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001178

Na our NBI doesn't have funding for any international agents or representatives to be attached to any of our embassies.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001179

Mr. Chair, if I could remind the committee.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001180

If I could remind the committee of all the responsibilities of the NBI going after

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001181

POGOs, scam networks, cyber fraud, online gambling, Interpol cases, human trafficking,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001182

online sexual exploitation of children, the list goes on.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001183

And yet we haven't given a single centavo for a single attaché representative abroad.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001184

That's absolutely ridiculous, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001185

And I feel that it's something that we should look into as we continue on this.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001186

This deliberation on the appropriations for the Department of Justice.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001187

Because, as our colleague here Representative Chel Diokno was saying about accountability and investigation,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001188

how are we supposed to go after international fugitives if we don't even have funding for NBI representatives abroad?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001189

Mr. Chair, I feel that this is one thing that we should take into consideration for this budget season.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001190

Thank you, NBI Director po.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001191

Next is I'd like to ask about what we're doing for our kababayans who don't have access to legal aid.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001192

I believe meron tayong, and we were able to fund it last year, I believe, around 8 million pesos more or less

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001193

for the DOJ Action Center or yung tinatawag natin Katarungan Caravan.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001194

Based on my numbers, and correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Secretary, you're currently at around 15,000 people who have been

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001195

served so far in 2026.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001196

This is well on its way to surpassing the numbers from last year of 25,000 served.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001197

Is this correct?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001198

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001199

Basically, this is the access to legal services.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001200

But of course, the primary agency is the Public Attorney's Office, na nagpapasalamat kami.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001201

Pero nakita po natin kasi yung puwang sa serbisyo.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001202

At siguro, ang lagi ko hong binibigay niyan—I was interviewed—bakit naging verb yung Tulfo?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001203

'Ipapa-Tulfo kita.' And I give credit to the Tulfo siblings kasi meron pong kulang na serbisyo.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001204

At ito po yung pilit na pinupunuan. Kabahagi po dito yung DOJ Katarungan Caravan.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001205

Sa atin pong pag-ikot sa buong Pilipinas para ilapit yung serbisyo on legal services sa ating mga kababayan,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001206

nakita natin na meron talagang puwang na pwedeng punuan.

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001207

Pero para ho maging resilient at saka maging permanent po yung sistema ng serbisyo,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001208

ang plano po natin ay, maliban na lang siya na parang ad hoc o task force, yung DOJ Katarungan Caravan

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001209

maging permanente ito sa bawat opisina ng DOJ.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001210

Ito po yung sa ating 250 prosecutorial offices nationwide na na-establish.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001211

ang pinipilit po namin ngayon ay mag-set up kami ng protocols on this legal service

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001212

para po yung bawat opisina sa bawat probinsya, sa bawat city at sa bawat region

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001213

ay may madudulugan na yung ating mga kababayan. Yung serbisyo,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001214

yung puwang na iyon na free legal service.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001215

Kaya nga po sa pagdedesign namin ng mga opisina ngayon, Your Honor,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001216

pinipilit namin na kasama natin sa design yung DOJ Action Center

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001217

or ang gusto nga ho namin sanang matawag ito ay para ho may ownership yung mga kababayan natin

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001218

ay DOJ Katarungan Office o DOJKO.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001219

Kasi sa dulo po itong serbisyong ito sa kababayan naman natin ito

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001220

para ho mas mapalapit natin yung serbisyo, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001221

Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001222

I was asking about this program kasi para sa mga kababayan natin,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001223

malaking gastos po to go to their lawyers,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001224

to go to centers of commerce where they can access legal services.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001225

Kaya maganda yung programa ng DOJ and the fact that the DOJ, I believe,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001226

has opened around nine new Katarungan regional centers.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001227

Are we going to be opening more in the years to come?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001228

Do we have funding for this, Secretary?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001229

Yes.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001230

This is part.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001231

Actually, yung ating optimization plan for the Department of Justice

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001232

so that it's rather than a secretary-initiated program,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001233

inilatag na po namin ito sa DBM

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001234

for the optimization plan for the Department of Justice

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001235

para may kaukulang plantilya, may kaukulang resources

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001236

para nga po yung 250 field offices natin

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001237

magkaroon po ng ganitong serbisyo.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001238

Mr. Chair, the reason why I'm bringing this up also is

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001239

because with such a limited budget of only around 8 million pesos

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001240

under the office of the Secretary

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001241

for the Katarungan Caravan and the DOJ Action Center,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001242

they've been able to help more than 15,000 people as of date now.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001243

They're on track to help more than 25,000 people by the end of the year.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001244

Mr. Chair, you realize that per person,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001245

that means that the government is only,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001246

spending about 250 to 300 pesos per person for legal assistance.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001247

The average lawyer would charge you more than 1,000 to 3,000 pesos an hour.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001248

The government is doing good for the people with such a limited fund.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001249

I'm hoping that in this year's budget,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001250

we will be able to increase the Secretary's capability

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001251

to touch base with the poorest of the poor

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001252

and help them with legal services.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001253

And with that, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001254

I only have one last set of questions.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001255

I have a question for the Public Attorney's Office.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001256

So, for PAO.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001257

For PAO, this is really the bedrock of our public service.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001258

I believe currently our goal is one attorney, one court.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001259

Are we able to uphold that with our current budget?

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001260

Thank you for your question, Mr. Chair.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001261

We have now some district offices

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001262

which I can deploy one-to-one per court,

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001263

but we're still lacking,

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001264

because PAO doesn't handle only criminal cases.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001265

We have labor cases.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001266

We have counterparts also served by the Office of the Solicitor General.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001267

We have preliminary investigation cases.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001268

And we are asking for additional 559 items.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001269

And we hope the son of my friend, Senator Grace Poe,

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001270

will request the august halls of Congress

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001271

to fulfill this deficiency.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001272

And we are very supportive of the Katarungan Caravan

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001273

because we're sending lawyers to assist

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001274

our honorable Undersecretary Margarita Gutierrez,

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001275

who happened to be my student at Ateneo Law School

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001276

and one of my best students.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001277

So, we are requesting that this hall will insert this deficiency

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001278

because we have not only two agencies which are our counterparts,

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001279

OSG, NPS, but also the private practitioners

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001280

who are worthy opponents of PAO.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001281

And I'm very happy that the question was propounded today.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001282

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001283

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001284

Mr. Chair, the reason why I asked about that

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001285

is because PAO's budget for fiscal year 2026

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001286

was 6.6 billion, more or less.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001287

This year, in the NEP, it's 7.1 billion.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001288

There's an increase of about 400 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001289

Is this for the items that you requested?

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001290

I'm sorry, sir.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001291

That's not the purpose of those increases.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001292

But the mandatory increases of SSL VI,

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001293

also, I think there are...

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001294

for the lawyers in addition to the 87 lawyers that were included last year.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001295

So, these are not new creations but past creations by the DBM.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001296

So, it's just funding for your past creations?

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001297

Yes, deficiencies, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001298

Ah, okay.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001299

So, that's why there's an increase of 400 million?

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001300

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001301

Because the salary now of our lawyers being hired

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001302

is at par with the new prosecutors,

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001303

around six digits per month

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001304

because of the number of cases we're handling.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001305

In fact, we're happy to tell you that we have served

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001306

16 million Filipino people last year.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001307

And now, about, I think, 6 million Filipino people as of June.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001308

Mr. Chair, the reason why I'm asking

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001309

whether or not there's sufficient funding,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001310

if we're asking for additional items pa,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001311

kulang pa itong budget na nakita natin sa NEP, no?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001312

We actually need to increase it.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001313

Hopefully, and I do hope that the PAO is able to assign more

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001314

to the Katarungan Caravan and to our outreach services through the DOJ.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001315

Hopefully, yung mga additional items po natin

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001316

can be assigned to grassroots work na kailangan na kailangan na mga kababayan natin.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001317

Yes, Your Honor, we commit to that.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001318

And we are also serving the DMW.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001319

And the OWWA.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001320

Because we are called upon by these two departments and agencies

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-001321

to assist our OFWs abroad, personally by our PAO lawyers.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001322

Nako, Mr. Chair, I'm so happy to hear that PAO is going to be working closely

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001323

with the DOJAC to be able to provide more for kababayans with legal assistance.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001324

Mr. Chair, I just want to reiterate my support

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001325

for the budget of the Department of Justice.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001326

I feel that this is one of the ways that we can really make our presence felt.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001327

Para sa mga kababayan natin.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001328

Through their legal aid, legal services,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001329

and through the protection of our mga kababayan

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001330

who are affected by scams, fraud, sexual violence, etc.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001331

Mr. Chair, with that being said, I also want to point out that

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001332

I'm glad that I'm able to work with PAO in this capacity

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001333

because once upon a time, I was a reporter in her office back in 2013.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001334

So it's good to see that she hasn't given up her drive for public service.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001335

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-001336

Thank you po, Representative Brian Poe.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-001337

Next in line, from the minority, Representative Renee Louise Co.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001338

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001339

here today. At gusto ko lang din pong mag-take off sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001340

line of questioning that was already established no iyung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001341

essentially paano natin na-insensure naba-balance nabibilang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001342

yung convictions given iyung mga cases that we've filed.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001343

No, we note that may bagong evidentiary standard for

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001344

prosecutors since 2024. dati probable cause

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001345

dapat yung um evidentially threshold bago

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001346

dumulog sa korte yung kaso pero ngayon it's reasonable certainty

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001347

of conviction and tama po ba ah kasi this was in your press release

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001348

as well this was changed because of longstanding

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001349

challenges in the justice system iyung weak cases that overburden

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001350

trials and erode public trust. Is this correct?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001351

Opo. Maraming salamat po sa katanungan. your honor. Ah, tama po kayo na ang

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001352

layunin po nito ay para bago magsampa ng kaso ang sinumang

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001353

fiscal sa Pilipinas, ibig sabihin handa na ang prosecution.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001354

handa ng prosecution na manalo. At may isa pa hong kadahilanan dito.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001355

Ang napansin po kasi natin sa nakaraang kasaysayan natin about

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001356

filing cases sa mga may kakayanang kasing kumuha ng

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001357

abogado dahil probable cause yung ano pwede kang maging biktima

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001358

lang ng pagfa-file ng maraming kaso. Pero dahil dito po sa

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001359

mas may wider latitude ang ating mga fiskal, ang ating mga prosecutors

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001360

to fully assess na ang isasampalang kaso ay yung kayang

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001361

ipanalo or malamang mananalo sa korte.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001362

Hindi ngayon nagiging game kasi ang napakahirap po ngayon ay yung kumuha ng abogado.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001363

Mahal po kumuha ng abogado. So kung ikaw ay bibiktimahin ng isang

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001364

individwal o isang grupo na may kakayanang kumuha ng abogado,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001365

dehado ka na dahil sa probable cause. Pero dahil dito po sa

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001366

Freema Fachi evidence with reasonable certainty of conviction, medyo

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001367

nabalanse po natin. At ito po ay kinilala na ng ating korte

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001368

suprema na ito ay kaakibat sa mandato ng DOJ bilang

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001369

executive na nasa poder ng DOJ ang mag

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001370

ah maghusga kung aling kaso ang itutuloy

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001371

at aling kasong krimen ang hindi itutuloy. Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001372

Ah Mr. Chair, napansin natin sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001373

kanilang report na merong disposition rate.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001374

May changes po ba in for example

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001375

filing rates or conviction rates?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001376

Dahil nga po sinabi na medyo ma-stricter iyung standard.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001377

Is there less there are there

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001378

less cases filed in court now?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001379

Mas mataas po ba ang conviction rate? Mr. Chair,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001380

If I may ask the Prosecutor General to respond.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001381

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001382

filed, mas kokunti po ang umaakyat na kaso ngayon dahil ang ginagawa po ng inyong Department of Justice

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001383

ay bago pa ho ito maisampa sa amin, hindi naman po kaagad yan dina-docket kaagad sa

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001384

isang criminal case. Ini-evaluate muna to at kung kulang po ang ebidensya, ito po'y ibinabalik namin para

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001385

buuin ang ebidensya. Kung kami naman po ay uh sa tingin po ng after evaluation

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001386

makikita po na sapat na ang ebidensya parang ito'y masampa, saka pa lamang po namin yan iaakyat sa hhusgado.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001387

Ang kagandahan po nito ay dahil sa sa maagang panahon, ang inyong prosecution

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001388

service at ang ating mga law enforcement ay nag-uusap na po para malaman kung ano yung mga

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001389

kailangang ebidensya na maipresenta sa hhusgado para pagdating po nito sa hhusgado, natitiyak po natin

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001390

na itong kaso na pong ito ay tatagal at ito po ay kayang makakuha ng conviction.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001391

So there are fewer cases which are actually being filed but these are I would call and classify them as quality cases. Ma'am

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001392

Mr. Chair, puwede po bang makakuha ng numbers tungkol dito?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001393

May disposition rate naman na po. So siguro conviction rates and filing rates to supplement yung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001394

ganon numbers. Meron po ba or can this be submitted to the committee? Mr. Chair?

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001395

Yes, your honor. Ah, iyung cases na binanggit namin iyong 395,000, ito po iyung preliminary investigation.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001396

After a resolution for a preliminary investigation, meron pong for filing at merong for dismissal.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001397

We will share that data. We will we need to disaggregate iyung data po namin na available. Yes, we will make that available your honor. Okay.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001398

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I share the concern ano uh from the Department of Justice. Ayaw natin na may mga kaso

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001399

na essentially madi-dismiss lang din naman. Sayang po sa oras, sayang po sa pera. And I have to raise yung mga ilang cases that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001400

have been uh notified to my office no na ah ang dulo po nito maraming na-disms, no?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001401

Marami pong to our knowledge terrorist financing cases that despite it being filed by the court, filed by the officer of

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001402

This year, iyong case ng CERNET, it was dismissed because of lack of jurisdiction.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001403

People v. Muñoz, People v. Aliques, People v. Estolioso, People v. Lemita—marami po sa kanila may defects.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001404

Muñoz people versus Aliquez people versus Estolioso people versus Lamita na marami po sa kanila may defects

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001405

on uh jurisdiction and in the last case I mention po um yung prosecutor ni-request na mag-submit ng additional

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001406

data at hindi po ito na ibigay and wala pong additional communication so dinismiss na lang po ng court. So ang tanong ko po Mr.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001407

Chair ah bakit po ganito nangyayari no? May mas mataas ng um threshold, evidentially

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001408

threshhold and the court will dismiss them no? Because hindi naman na-meet or walang primafch case at all.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001409

Mr.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001410

Chair, there are instances ho talaga

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001411

na kahit na po sa tingin ng prosecutor

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001412

after evaluating the evidence that it is

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001413

sufficient, we're still looking

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001414

at a variable which is how the court would view it.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001415

There are so many factors

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001416

that can be considered when a case

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001417

and how a case will be decided.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001418

We in the prosecution are

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001419

convinced with the evidence that we present

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001420

before the court that it will meet the standard

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001421

of proof beyond reasonable doubt.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001422

Pero meron pong mga factors talaga

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001423

na hindi po or beyond our

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001424

control and which becomes the basis

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001425

of the court when rendering judgment.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001426

But uh also

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001427

Ma'am,

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001428

uh ma'am that

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001429

in this particular there are instances

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001430

wherein there are really cases na

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001431

halimbawa ho naisampa dumating

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001432

ho sa hhusgado pero nadi-disms.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001433

Marami hong dahilan diyan.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001434

Hindi ho sumisipot ang testigo.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001435

Wala na pong ebidensya

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001436

because I have to point out

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001437

also that the prosecutor is only as

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001438

good as the evidence that he has on hand.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001439

So kaya nga gusto po namin

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001440

habang sa pinakamaagang

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001441

pagkakataon hawak na po natin 'yung

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001442

ebidensya ng kung sa gayon pagdating sa

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001443

hhusgado kung ito'y hihingi

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001444

ng ating hukom ito

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001445

po y agad-agad nating maipresinta.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001446

Ang napansin ko rin po Mr.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001447

Chair, in this recent string

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001448

of cases that were dismissed,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001449

um there is one legal

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001450

argument na pinanghawakan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001451

na in

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001452

one ruling ay the court

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001453

said hindi po ito

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001454

magfa-fly na legal argument and

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001455

I think this string of cases yun na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001456

po iyung argument sa kanila

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001457

no na walang jurisdiction etc.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001458

So I guess my question would

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001459

be given na may gann ng

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001460

uh findings yung courts,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001461

will the DOJ

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001462

dismiss or withdraw cases

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001463

that are allegedly lacking

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001464

insufficient legal basis or

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001465

founded on fabricated evidence?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001466

Lalo na for example these cases

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001467

were filed before nagbago

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001468

iyung standard no?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001469

Hindi na reasonable uh

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001470

certainty of conviction pero

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001471

ngayon binago, chineck parang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001472

hindi naman pumapasa doon.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001473

Will the DOJ uh

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001474

dismiss or withdraw these cases?

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001475

In answer to your question, Ma'am,

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001476

Definitely if these cases

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001477

were filed before the

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001478

department adopted the new quantum

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001479

of evidence, we will certainly scrutinize

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001480

it before it actually

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001481

is elevated to court.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001482

There is of course during the evaluation

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001483

the opportunity to assert

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001484

whether we will elevate it or

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001485

we will send it back for purposes of

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001486

gathering additional evidence.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001487

So you can be assured madam

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001488

uh uh madam

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001489

that when we do evaluate our

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001490

cases we will look at the evidence which

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001491

is on hand at the time of the

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001492

filing and then on the basis

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001493

of the same make our assessment whether

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001494

it will be sufficient to bring

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001495

it forward to the court.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001496

If we find that the evidence is insufficient

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001497

rest assured that the department

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001498

will not also elevate these cases

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001499

we have to meet.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001500

How about Mr.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001501

Chair yung mga cases that are currently pending with the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001502

court pero upon review ay hindi

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001503

naman na po papasa doon sa bagong

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001504

evidentiary threshold.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001505

At siguro I'd like to thank the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001506

DOJ last year nag-request

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001507

tayo ng data kung ano na po yung mga

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001508

na-file na or ano na po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001509

iyong status ng cases under the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001510

DOG task force on

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001511

counterterrorism.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001512

Shineer po na kalahati niyan ay pending no.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001513

Pero may some

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001514

1/5 that were dismissed

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001515

because of insufficiency of evidence.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001516

So that was before

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001517

iyung standard na to no.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001518

So but there's still half no.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001519

And these are people na sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001520

pag kausap sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001521

kanila, you know, from

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001522

marginalized sectors, marginalized communities,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001523

tumutulong sa kapwa communities and may na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001524

masama yung ganito.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001525

So ayaw lang nating maipit at mas mahirapan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001526

pa yung tuloy-tuloy nilang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001527

ah pagkabuhay

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001528

and mas nahihirapan pa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001529

ng overburdensome

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001530

na court proceedings.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001531

So will the DOJ, Mr.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001532

chair no review spending cases

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001533

kahit hindi pa siya for elevation. M

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001534

well definitely it's a challenge po

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001535

for the department na when there are

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001536

cases which are already pending in

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001537

court prior to the adoption of the

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001538

new quantum of evidence because it's not something

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001539

that you can just withdraw

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001540

especially when the proceedings are already ongoing.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001541

Now ang sa amin

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001542

naman po dito is that hindi naman

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001543

po basta basta sinasampa yung kaso.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001544

Ang gusto nating maunawaan ng ating mga

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001545

kababayan, Madam Sherry, is that

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001546

ah yun ho ang

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001547

problema naging problema natin dun sa

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001548

dating quantum of evidence.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001549

probable cause. Ang ang ibig sabihin lang

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001550

po niyan may posibilidad

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001551

na yung taong inaakusahan

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001552

ay may kinalaman doon sa ginawang krimen.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001553

Dahil itinaas po

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001554

natin yung antas no ng

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001555

ah ebidensya na kailangan,

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001556

mas masusi na pong natitingnan ngayon.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001557

At least masasabi po namin

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001558

yan tungkol doon sa mga

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001559

kasong isinasampa ngayon.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001560

For those cases which are in court, yes, we

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001561

will of course take into

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001562

consideration kung ano man po ang

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001563

naging obserbasyon ng hhusgado.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001564

Pero may nabanggit po kayo kanina

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001565

ma'am like for example yung sa

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001566

Sirnet no na

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001567

yes that was the decision of the regional

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001568

trial court but of course the

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001569

department also has other options

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001570

which is to elevate the matter on

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001571

surchay if we feel

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001572

that there was a mistake no

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001573

or grave abuse committed by the court.

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001574

So those are things which are

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001575

available to us at ginagamit po ng

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001576

department para matiyak

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001577

natin na iyung tamang

Source

Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon

asr-001578

hustisya ang makuha ng kung sino man.

Of course we

are concerned

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001733

about this drastic

um decrease or slashing

of our cluster's budget

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001743

We've

Source

asr-001744

seen uh rising

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001745

number of cases related

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001746

to sextortion,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001747

online scam,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001748

osaec, online illegal

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001749

recruitment as well as NVE

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001750

as mentioned a while ago but by

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001751

one of the representatives

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001752

present this afternoon.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001753

All of these are

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001754

technology facilitated crimes

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001755

or the misuse of

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001756

technology to commit these crimes.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001757

And

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001758

we feel that there is a

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001759

misapprehension of the scope

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001760

of the problem because

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001761

if for example the

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001762

committee deliberating on our

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001763

budget would appreciate the

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001764

gravity and the urgency by which

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001765

we need to respond to

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001766

these crimes, then they would

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001767

at the very least restore

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001768

our budget to the

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001769

uh 2026

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001770

levels. Mr.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001771

Yes. I saw kasi na

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001772

41%

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001773

sa anti-trafficking in persons,

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001774

71%

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001775

reduction in cyber

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001776

crime at saka 58%

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001777

in uh OSAEC.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001778

No.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001779

Um, were there issues on uh your ano

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001780

ba absorbtive capacity?

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001781

Mr. Chair, thank you again for that question.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001782

If if

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001783

absorptive capacity you mean um two things.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001784

First our

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001785

ability to procure

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001786

certain um

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001787

certain high level

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001788

uh programs and initiatives

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001789

as well as absorptive capacity

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001790

of our local task forces to

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001791

act on cases.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001792

Yes, there are limitations.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001793

However, we can't stop

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001794

building on these capacities now

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001795

by slashing our budget.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001796

all the more that we should push for

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001797

um sustained efforts to

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001798

create capacity both at the level

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001799

of the national program as well

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001800

as our local task forces.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001801

Well, is it correct ba

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001802

na na-include ba sa

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001803

LEDAC bills 'yung amendments

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001804

ng OSAEC law?

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001805

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001806

if it is part of the LEDAC priority

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001807

no tapos you're going to be

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001808

having a 58.93%

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001809

93% reduction in the budget.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001810

How will that parang affect

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001811

the activities

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001812

of uh the NCC-OSAEC-CSAEM?

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001813

Um your honor, it will really

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001814

um take us two or three steps

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001815

back on our initiatives.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001816

We have just rolled out the National Strategic

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001817

Action Plan Against OSAEC and CSAEM,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001818

and we want to

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001819

maintain the Tier 1 status of

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001820

the Philippines in the U.S. TIP

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001821

Report, because if we lose

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001822

that standing then there will be economic

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001823

implications against the

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001824

Philippines.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001825

Second, yes, it

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001826

is a LEDAC priority,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001827

and our capacity

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001828

to respond to emerging threats

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001829

of OSAEC, CSAEM, and VE,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001830

and the other crimes I mentioned a

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001831

while ago must be

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001832

um leveled up because

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001833

in order for us to maintain Tier 1

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001834

status they need to see a

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001835

constant improvement in

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001836

our response mechanisms.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001837

So hindi lang po kung ano 'yung ginawa

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001838

natin last year, gagawin din natin ngayon.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001839

What is important is we

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001840

improve the response and

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001841

at the very least restoration of

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001842

our budget will ensure

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001843

um sufficient support for that goal.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001844

And itong cyber crime din ba we always see nowadays na karamihan ng crimes are perpetrated through the internet and the use of other gadgets no.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001845

So, anong impact naman nito na may 71% reduction sa budget ng anti-cybercrime enforcement?

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001846

Uh your honor, a lot of these cyber enabled crimes are already perpetrated by

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001847

AI um systems. So we need to catch up in our response.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001848

Um, yung hinihingi po naming restoration to the levels of the 2026 budget for the OOC, it's just to maintain

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001849

our pace, no, to respond to these emerging threats. As I mentioned a while ago, we need to build

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001850

our capacity both on the IT infrastructure, capability building of our personnel,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001851

increased personnel both on the investigative agents as well as the policy determination

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001852

arm of the Office of Cybercrime.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001853

And especially the international cooperation mechanism, because timely international

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001854

exchange of information leads to timely rescue operations and mas marami po tayong naa-identify na victims and

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001855

perpetrators so we could create that nexus and that web of investigative leads.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001856

Let me understand lang is this nangyari to because you're

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001857

unable to procure certain things ba or what ba ang use ng budget

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001858

niyo before kasi medyo malaki yung budget niyo last year eh no

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001859

from 119, ginawang 70; from 119, ginawang

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001860

34; 112, ginawang 46. Ano, what's wrong?

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001861

Um, in terms po of the procurement side, naka-earmark naman na po 'yung

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001862

mga high ticket or high level programs So it's just a matter of ensuring that the procurement

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001863

process would be undertaken timely within the year. Um meron pong um instance

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001864

na nagkaroon po ng issuance din ang Malacañang um with a directive of

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001865

decreasing MOOE expenses by 20%. So isang bagay din po yon.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001866

And third, yung uh napi-pinpoint po naming need to create um alternative modes of

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001867

procurement such as um maybe establishing and empowering our regional bids

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001868

and awards committee to increase the absorptive capacity in that sense to be able to keep

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001869

abreast with the needs to procure with the need to procure these high level um programs.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001870

Are are these uh offices currently undergoing

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001871

uh siguro manpower issues ba? Kulang ba kayo ng tao?

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001872

Kulang na kulang po, Your Honor. Actually, sa

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001873

NCC-OSAEC-CSAEM, the plantilla positions created by the DBM are already completely

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001874

filled up.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001875

So we need to create more plantilla positions for NCC-OSAEC-CSAEM.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001876

However, even our temporary measure of hiring JOs and COS, hindi

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001877

rin po pinayagan ng DBM. So we have to make do with

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001878

um resources in terms of manpower but at the same time

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001879

'yun pong secondary trauma and um uh effect naman

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001880

po on the people that we have now 'yun din po yung binabantayan natin.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001881

So with your support we hope that we could also advocate for the creation of

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-001882

79 or so plantilla positions for NCC-OSAEC-CSAEM.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001883

Thank you, Asec. Lapuz.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001884

Secretary Vida.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001885

Secretary Vida,

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001886

paano

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001887

po ba natin

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001888

ma-address ang issues nila?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001889

Yes.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001890

Uh, I—we

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001891

propose for a

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001892

parallel, basically

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001893

mirroring 'yung 2026.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001894

But if you look at

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001895

the numbers, Your Honor,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001896

po kasing 'yung SICA last

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001897

which uh yun yung nawala

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001898

po.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001899

So I don't want to

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001900

speculate how the DBM did

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001901

it but apparently

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001902

it's it's that figure that was

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001903

lost

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001904

No, 'yung SICA ng

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001905

budget ng 2026

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001906

yun po yung hindi

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001907

minirror for 2027

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001908

All right. Now, 'di ba,

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001909

kasi ang mangyayari po is

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001910

if they're supposed to be

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001911

procuring these things

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001912

last year at tinanggal

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001913

sa budget this year mas lalong hindi nila mapro-procure.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001914

Tama po ba?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001915

Ah hindi naman po.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001916

Ah kasi may may mga bagay po na

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001917

recurring expense eh.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001918

'Yung recurring expense, 'yun po ang problema.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001919

Ah kung kung ito

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001920

po ay one time expense ah tapos na.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001921

Pero yung

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001922

paulit-ulit na gastos no

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001923

na pumapasok ang karamihan ng

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001924

MOOE natin at saka yung personal

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001925

services yun po ang problema.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001926

So ang nakikita

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001927

lang po namin ah pero basically

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-001953

with Asec. Lapuz na

Definitely po.

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

Tulad po ngayon, patuloy po ang pakikipag-uusap

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001962

the registry of sex offenders.

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

Of course, the European countries have very

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001964

strict data privacy.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001965

Hirap na hirap akong ma-extract sa kanila.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001966

Bigyan niyo kami ng data.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001967

Baka kasi mga Pilipino na nabibiktima,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001968

we're continuously engaging with them.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001969

Ah, posible ba

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001970

through police assistance, the mutual

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-001971

legal assistance agreements

asr-001982

authorities from uh

creating that particular court dapat

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002021

may prosecutors na kayong nilalagay

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002022

ah based on our agreement with the

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002023

DBM it should be after the court

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002024

has been organized pero mabilis

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002025

na po ang DBM ngayon uh they are

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002026

able to catch up once they organize the

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002027

court already Congress creates

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002028

the court then the Supreme

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002029

Court through after administrative

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002030

processes they organize the court

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002031

nakaka-trigger na rin po iyun ng request

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002032

namin for new prosecutorial position

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002033

yeah but that's my issue with ano eh the

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002034

Supreme Court eh usually we create

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002035

courts pagpasa ng bill namin

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002036

average of 5 years bago

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002037

nila ma-organize yung ano kahit na

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002038

funded na yun for the for the first

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002039

5 years ha tsaka tsaka pa

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002040

nila nao-organize 5 years ang minimum

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002041

ha minsan more than that pa

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002042

no so do you wait

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002043

until uh it's organized

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002044

bago kayo kukuha ng fiscals?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002045

yes uh that's the

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002046

that's a trigger uh

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002047

time that's a trigger event

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002048

for the DBM to issue us the

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002049

prosecutorial—'yung ano ho, 'yung

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002050

NOSCA. Bago nila kami bigyan

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002051

ng NOSCA,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002052

inaantay nila na organized na 'yung court.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002053

So, we all wait for the Supreme Court to organize it.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002054

Yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002055

Even if it's already funded, it's already ano for the past years.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002056

Alam naman natin, 'di

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002057

ba, usually that's what happens, eh.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002058

It's always my pet peeve. Every time

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002059

they sila pa mismo nag ah sa-suggest

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002060

minsan na dagdagan 'yung courts etc etc

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002061

but then they don't fill it up naman

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002062

and it takes them a long time before it's filled up.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002063

So sayang din yung pondo na

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002064

pumupunta doon for the unorganized courts.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002065

Totoo po 'yan. Real issue po on the ground.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002066

It's true naman, 'di ba?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002067

Yeah. Oo.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002068

Ah ang maganda lang po your honor eh the law

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002069

the NPS law was enacted

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002070

2010.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002071

Nag-start lang tayo ng actual

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002072

implementation noong 2024.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002073

So kaya po ito 'yung

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002074

creation na ng 1,000 new

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002075

prosecutorial positions.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002076

We advocated that with the DBM.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002077

We pushed for that.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002078

Now, it's ongoing.

Source

Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores

asr-002079

Wait. You said 2024 lang.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002080

Rep. Allan U. Ty

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002162

Yes, Your Honor.

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002164

400 cases

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002165

against 16,000 cases?

That would be just around

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002167

2.5%, Your Honor.

Only 2.5%?

Let's say 10 years back,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002181

five years old,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002182

ten years old. Do you have a breakdown of the case?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002183

Yes, we can

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002184

submit to you, Your Honor. But it's

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002185

approximately 10,000 cases,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002186

all cases prior to

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002187

January 1, 2020.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002188

So roughly, Mr. Secretary, how

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002189

many, percentage-wise,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002190

how many cases do you resolve in one

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002191

year for petition for review?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002192

There's a mix depending on

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002193

Your Honor. But for my

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002194

particular timeline, Your Honor,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002195

starting in

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002196

February this year

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002197

up to

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002198

today, Your Honor, I've resolved

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002199

more than 400 cases.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002200

So basically, on a year-to-year,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002201

we can submit that, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002202

Correct. But as you mentioned also,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002203

that's only 2.5%.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002204

So you have still

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002205

a long way to go

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002206

to dispose all the

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002207

petitions for review. Thank you,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002208

Mr. Secretary. Mr. Secretary,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002209

is there no timeline

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002210

provided under the

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002211

rules on

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002212

petition for review that the

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002213

Office of the Secretary must resolve

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002214

those pending petitions for review?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002215

If we

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002216

do look at, if we

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002217

coordinate

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002218

it with the rules of court, basically,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002219

pag tinignan po natin, may

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002220

60 days po na dini-defer ng court

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002221

yung case. But time

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002222

and motion will tell you, hindi ho

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002223

talaga kaya ng 60 days.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002225

Dahil na rin po sa dami.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002226

Tulad po ng nabanggit, ang nakikita po naming datos,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002227

200 per week petitions pina-file ho dito.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002228

Since I assumed as Secretary.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002229

Kaya nga po, ang amin pong strategy doon is,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002230

my eight undersecretaries have been deputized and authorized to resolve those cases.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002231

So if it's 800 per month,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002232

ang tina-target po naming clearance rate for every undersecretary is 100 per month.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002233

So that's still a...

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002234

Kasi this is in addition to their other duties and tasks.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002235

So yung 16,000 po, most probably, kailan nyo po mareresolve?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002236

Given the timeline that you just stated.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002237

With our current system, especially with the publication we made for the older cases,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002238

what we're targeting is from February,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002239

hopefully po, after the first quarter of next year, we have a clearer picture po.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002240

On the 16,000.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002241

So can you please provide this committee the breakdown of all those pending cases per year?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002242

We will, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002243

Mr. Secretary, can you go over your budget, proposed budget,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002244

under MOOE for fiscal year 2027?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002245

There is a sub-expense labeled as other maintenance and operating expenses.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002246

What expenses are covered by this account?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002247

Under object of expenditure.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002248

Mr. Secretary.

Source

DOJ budget representative

asr-002249

For the proposed budget for fiscal year 2027,

Source

DOJ budget representative

asr-002250

Other maintenance and operating expenses would amount to 114,309,000.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002251

Mr. Secretary, I'm not asking about the amount.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002252

I'm asking about the expenses covered by other MOOE.

Source

DOJ budget representative

asr-002253

This would cover advertising expenses,

Source

DOJ budget representative

asr-002254

Printing and publication expenses, representation expenses,

Source

DOJ budget representative

asr-002255

transportation and delivery expenses, rent for buildings and structures and rents for equipment,

Source

DOJ budget representative

asr-002256

then ICT software subscription and other subscription expenses, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002257

There is a sub-label similar to other maintenance and operating expenses.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002258

Can you confirm?

Source

DOJ budget representative

asr-002259

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002260

What possible expenses are covered by this similar?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002261

Similar label, aside from what you have already mentioned.

Source

DOJ budget representative

asr-002262

Other similar expenses would be [unclear].

Source

DOJ budget representative

asr-002263

This would basically cover possible increases of those similar objects of expenditure, Your Honor, I would assume.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002264

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002265

To Commissioner Viado.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002266

Commissioner.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002267

Good afternoon, sir.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002268

Good afternoon.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002269

Commissioner, could you explain what the border,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002270

border management information system, or BMIS, is?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002271

Sir, good afternoon.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002272

Thank you very much, Congressman Ty, for giving us the opportunity to explain and to build trust with the Filipino people concerning this matter.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002273

The large-scale border security system is needed at this point

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002274

because this pertains to a technology-driven, AI-driven,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002275

biometric-driven kind of border control, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002276

The concept really is to extend our borders beyond the actual physical border of the Philippines.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002277

We plan to institute a system wherein even if a passenger is in another country and is not qualified to enter the Philippines,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002278

he will be prevented from doing so using this technology-driven system, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002279

What is the total project?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002280

What is the total project cost of BMIS?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002281

The total project cost—this is a PPP project, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002282

The total project cost for the first five years will be shouldered by the private proponent, amounting to about 10.7 billion, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002283

But in the next 20 years, they will put in additional capital and maintenance expenses, amounting to about 52.5 billion, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002284

How much is that?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002285

How much is the national government share?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002286

The government share would amount to, for passengers, the cost would be about $4, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002287

$3.80 will go to the private proponent and $0.20 will go to the Philippine government, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002288

Is there no allocations made to BMIS by the national government?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002289

At this point, Your Honor, the intention really is to adopt a stepladder approach.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002290

Any budget that has been allocated by government at this point, sad to say, in a way, is lacking.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002291

So this PVP project will make up for any differences or any shortfalls that we might have as far as border control is concerned, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002292

Based on your 2024 GAA, there's an allocation of four-point-something billion for BMIS.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002293

Can you kindly confirm?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002294

For the year 2024, I think it was 1.9 billion, Your Honor, for the e-Gates project.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002295

So there is a government fund used for the BMIS project?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002296

That's correct, Your Honor, for the E-Gates project.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002297

Initially, it was funded at around 1.9 billion, but eventually it was reduced.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002298

The winning bidder submitted a proposal.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002299

Which was eventually accepted, which amounted to 1.5 billion.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002300

But, Your Honor, this only pertains to the E-Gates project.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002301

It does not pertain to any total border control system, which the private proponent is proposing, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002302

So the total appropriation release of 1.5 billion, as you mentioned, how much has been obligated?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002303

And how much has been disbursed?

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002304

I will confer with my colleague, Your Honor.

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002305

The allotment originally, Your Honor, was 1.9 billion.

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002306

But what has been obligated is 1.5 billion, Your Honor.

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002307

But DBM released the SARO corresponding to the 1.9 billion.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002308

So how much still remains unobligated?

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002309

Your Honor, at this point, what is unobligated is the 1.3, which is the second phase of the project.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002310

Mr. Commissioner, I'm asking you first, the first phase.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002311

Don't jump on the second phase. I haven't asked you yet on the second phase.

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002312

It has been fully obligated, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002315

How much has been released?

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002316

Your Honor, as stated, the original amount was 1.9, but we have a savings of 400.

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002317

So what has been released is 1.5 billion, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002318

How about for fiscal year 2025?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002319

How much of the Bureau's appropriations remain unused for this particular project?

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002320

1.3, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002321

How much has been obligated?

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002322

Your Honor, it has not yet been obligated because the terms of reference

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002323

for the phase of this project will still be transmitted to the Department of Justice

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002324

for further review, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002325

But it has been released?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002326

The SARO has been released by the DBM?

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002327

Yes, Your Honor. It has been released.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002328

So can you go over your 2025 budget?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002329

Based on the expenditure program appropriation by obligation,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002330

you have an unobligated allotment of 4 billion.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002331

Can you please state what these unobligated

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002332

allotments are?

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002333

Primarily, Your Honor, it pertains to the E-Gates project.

Source

Bureau of Immigration budget representative

asr-002334

It's unobligated.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002335

You mentioned a while ago that you have obligated 1.5 billion.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002336

The only unobligated amount is only 400 million.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002337

How come you have 4.071 billion unobligated in 2025?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002338

Your Honor, if I may read the summary, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002339

The implementation schedule for

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002340

the E-Gates projects Phase 1, 2, and 3

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002341

was affected by circumstances beyond the Bureau's control.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002342

So Phase 1, which was funded under the Fiscal Year 2024 GAA

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002343

in the amount of 1.5 billion,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002344

was timely subjected to competitive bidding

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002345

but was declared a failure of bidding.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002346

It necessitated, Your Honor, a rebidding process.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002347

And during the rebidding process,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002348

the Bureau received the donation of E-Gates

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002349

from the new NAIA Infrastructure Corporation

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002350

for NAIA Terminals 1 and 3,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002351

which required the revision

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002352

of the approved technical specifications and deployment plan

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002353

to avoid any duplication of procurement

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002354

and maximize the utilization of government resources.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002355

Consequently, the contract was awarded in December 2025.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002356

Now, as the project is being implemented in phases,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002357

the delay in Phase 1 necessarily affected

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002358

the procurement schedule of Phase 2.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002359

For Fiscal Year 2025, amounting to 1.3 billion.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002360

And Phase 3, Fiscal Year 2026,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002361

amounting to 565 million.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002362

The Bureau has since completed the required revisions

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002363

revisions and is expediting, Your Honor,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002364

the remaining procurement activities.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002365

And the Bureau assures that it will be able to award Phase 2

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002366

and other Fiscal Year 2025 and 2026 funded projects

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002367

within the current year

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002368

and commits to fully implementing the modernization program

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-002369

as scheduled, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002370

Last question, Cong. Allan.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002371

I have...

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002372

I'll do my second round, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002373

Okay.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002374

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002375

Next in line, from the majority,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002376

Representative Solomon Chungalao.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002377

Thank you, Chairman.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002378

I just ask one question.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002379

My major question.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002380

One or two, perhaps.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002381

Hypothetical.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002382

It pertains to the right of the government

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002383

to expropriate private property

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002384

for public use.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002385

Now, if an agency exercises

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002386

the power of expropriation,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002387

acquires private property

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002388

for public use,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002389

but it's a private corporation

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002390

pays the value,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002391

is there a proper exercise

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002392

of the power of expropriation,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002393

Secretary?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002394

Elements for the proper exercise

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002395

of expropriate...

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002396

the right of eminent domain.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002397

One, public purpose.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002398

Second, it's a...

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002399

it's a...

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002400

public purpose of the ano, no?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002401

And it would be utilizing public funds.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002402

But, Your Honor,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002403

as in prior projects, no?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002404

There have been projects that

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002405

there are engagements by the government

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002406

entering into

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002407

various contractual agreements

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002408

with the private sector

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002409

and it would be possible, no,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002410

it would be possible

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002411

that private funds might be used

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002412

to procure portions

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002413

of the right-of-way, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002414

So, it's possible that you can use

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002415

private funds to pay

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002416

just compensation?

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002417

It's...

I'll be direct with the Secretary.

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002419

I raised this in the 18th Congress.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002420

Kasi sa amin,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002421

NIA exercises expropriation.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002422

They acquired property

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002423

of farmers around

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002424

the Magat Dam

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002425

for public use.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002426

But the one who paid it

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002427

is a private corporation.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002428

Pwede ba 'yon?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002429

I don't think that's within the realm

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002430

of our legal system, Your Honor.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002431

Private funds cannot be used

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002432

in that manner, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002433

That, in that case,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002434

is the private...

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002435

is the public...

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002436

public corporation

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002437

or the public entity

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002438

liable for anything?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002439

Yes. We have to check the circumstances, Your Honor. Yes, possible po, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002440

What would be the liability, any administrative or criminal liability?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002441

Your Honor, if you may, we need additional factual circumstances to make a determination on that matter, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002442

Well, I'm laying the facts. The facts are simple.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002443

They raised the level of the dam to the level that it acquired private properties, supposedly for irrigation.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002444

But when they were supposed to pay for the just compensation, it was a private corporation who wanted to pay and paid them, pero hindi patas.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002445

Is there anything wrong in that case?

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002446

Secretary? Ano 'yung right—anong ROW 'yun?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002447

Under the existing ROW Act, Your Honor, if I get the briefing right, what will be used for expropriation should be public funds.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002448

So any violation of that law would make the person liable if it violates that particular law, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002449

The agency, the agency—

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002450

NIA violated the law.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002451

What is the crime? What is the liability of NIA, administratively or criminally?

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002452

That's what I'm asking.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002453

Kasi hindi inayos 'to, eh. Oo, hindi kasi...

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002454

Your Honor, we, my apologies, but if you will allow the department, we can give you the proper briefing on that.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002455

We can give you the report on that.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002456

But for any action of an individual, it can arise...

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002459

It can arise to criminal or administrative liability.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002460

That's possible.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002461

And also from a criminal act, a civil liability will also ensue.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002462

So based on the particular act, Your Honor, we need to see with more particularity the circumstances, Your Honor.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002463

My apologies, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002464

Okay, I will just ask perhaps your office for your legal opinion.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002465

Because the farmers are complaining.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002466

I brought this out in the 18th Congress.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002467

I told them.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002468

Ayusin ninyo 'yan. Pero hindi inayos hanggang ngayon. So the farmers are coming back. Ang ginagawa nila kasi, binabarat 'yung iba, binabayaran 'yung iba. Hindi naman puwede 'yun, 'di ba?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002469

Yes, Your Honor. The ultimate basis for everything is fairness and justice.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002470

So flowing from that, if there's something unfair, probably there's a violation of the law.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002471

So if it's an unfair act, then there's a law violated.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002472

So we'll just coordinate with your office, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002473

Okay, I'll just write your office.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-002474

I will limit myself to allow my other colleagues to be able to ask questions.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-002475

Thank you very much.

At least let Cong. Tinio come first because he has other obligations to go to.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002487

Unang-una, nagpapasalamat ako kay Congresswoman Sarah Elago for being so generous and yielding her time.

Apparently not.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002491

Anyway, a few questions here.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002492

Unang-una, doon ho tayo kay Administrator Benitez

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

ng Parole and Probation Administration. Meron ho kayong panukalang batas na itinutulak dito sa Kongreso para i-modernize ang PPA.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002494

At iyan ay bilang tugon sa mga problemang hinaharap ng PPA, tama po ba?

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002495

With the indulgence of the Secretary, yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002538

during my term as the

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002539

administrator of the PPA

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002540

we identified problems

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002541

within the system

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002542

and we identified

Source

55,000

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002544

unaccounted for or not

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

in the system

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002546

and we gave this message

asr-002547

to the Secretary of Justice

and the Philippine anti-drugs

PADS

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002550

supported us with

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002551

50 million per year

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002552

it is now a tier 1

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002553

expense

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002554

we are on our second year

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002555

and ngayon po 1 is to

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002556

320 na lang po ang case load

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002557

but still behind the 1 is to 50

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002558

na sinasabi nyo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002559

so insufficient staffing

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

isang problema, tinukoy nyo

excessive cases

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002562

case load.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002563

Organizationally, mayroon problem tayo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002564

sa structure?

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002565

Because we promoted about

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002566

300 individuals

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002567

and these 300 individuals

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002568

including probation officers

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002569

shed their level

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002570

kaya may vacant pa rin po kami na

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002571

three hundred—about 275.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002572

Tapos binanggit nyo na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002573

iyong benepisyo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002574

mababa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002575

What about the technological

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002576

systems? Kamusta po tayo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002577

diyan?

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002578

I'm happy to inform the committee that our

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002579

computer system is

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002580

at par dun sa

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002582

anytime that they turn on the computer

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002583

system, we will be compliant.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002584

Okay, so binanggit nyo yung ratio

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002585

na hindi medyo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002586

talagang dehado yung mga staff

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002587

dahil sa dami po ng kliyente.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002588

Isang tugon diyan ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002589

either paramihin—pag pinarami

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002590

po yung staff, pinalaki yung staff, lalaki

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002591

iyong gastos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002592

Isang bahagi dyan ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002593

kung hindi mo mapapalaki,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002594

i-upskill na lang sila. Tama?

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002595

Tama po yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002596

Okay. Pag may upskilling, may gastos din.

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002597

May gastos po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002598

So ang tanong ko po, alam po, excited

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002599

kayo sumagot, pero yung gastos po ba

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002600

for upskilling dahil hindi kayo nabigyan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002601

karagdagan na pwesto para sa staff,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002602

ay nakapaloob ba sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002603

budget na pino-propose?

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002604

Nasa wish list po namin

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002605

ang improvement ng mga skills

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002606

at

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002607

mga probation officers.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002608

Magkano po iyon?

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002609

Ito po ay ladderized three-year

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002610

probation officer development program

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002611

na 8,198,000.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002612

Hindi napagbigyan?

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002613

Hindi po.

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002614

Wish list pa po namin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002615

Sana po sa ating

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002616

mapag-isipan yan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002617

at kung maaari,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002618

nakita ninyo naman, napakahirap ng laban nila,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002619

napakaraming kliyente na sineservisyuhan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002620

Kung hindi po mapaparami ang mga pwesto,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002621

dapat at least dagdagan po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002622

ang training programs para

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002623

i-upskill sila at magampanan nila

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002624

iyong katungkulan sa batas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002625

At bukod doon, napansin ko, ang laki po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002626

ng binaba ng budget ninyo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002627

Kung titingnan iyong General Administration Support Services,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002628

mababa ng 35.97%.

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002629

Opo.

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002630

Majority po yun ay because we are

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002631

compliant with the ISSP

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002632

tungkol po sa computer

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002633

system.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002634

Oo, pero ibig sabihin din iyon, bagamat compliant kayo sa computer

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002635

system, ibig sabihin po ninyo, yung ibang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002636

kahilingan ninyo tungkol doon sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002637

pagmamodernize ng PPA, na nakapaloob

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002638

po doon sa mga panukalang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002639

batas na sinusunod ninyo, hindi po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002640

napondohan. Tama?

Source

PPA Administrator Bienvenido E. Benitez Jr.

asr-002641

Tama po yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002642

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Next question po. Dito naman po

Unang-una, nagpapasalamat sa tulong

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002652

Nakakatuwa na lumaki iyong salary

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002654

marami na kayong applications.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002657

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

You're spread too thin?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

kung napupondohan yung iba,

tapos napupunta lamang sa scandal,

budget ng PAO.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Sa LRA, andyan po ba

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002789

ang LRA?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002790

Sir, napansin ko yung support for operations nyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002791

lumobo ng 86.15%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002792

Ano po dahilan para dyan?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-002793

Sir, iyong pong support for services na nasa ICTD po namin, sa improvement po ng aming services on technology ho.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002794

With the improvement in services, gaganda ho ba at bibilis iyong pag-i-issue ng mga titulo na kinakailangan?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-002795

Inaasahan ho namin sa pagkakaroon ng makabagong teknolohiya, maaari ho natin mapabilis na ho talaga.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-002796

At maiwasan na rin ho ang pagkakaroon ng mga pekeng titulo rin ho.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002797

Kasi isang hinaing doon po ng marami, lalo na ng mga magsasaka na naghihintay ng CLOA, na mabagal po iyong pag-i-issue ng mga titulo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002798

Kasi may mga anomalya ring nangyayari. Ano hong ginagawa ng ahensya para imbestigahan ang mga ito at mapabilis ang paglabas ng titulo?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-002799

Sa usapin po ng mga CLOA, kami po ay mahigpit na nakikipag-ugnayan ho sa Department of Agrarian Reform.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-002800

Sa opisina ni Secretary Conrado Estrella po.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-002801

So unti-unti ho namin na natatapos at naaayos ang mga issue sa usapin sa mga CLOWA po.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-002802

At kami po ngayon ay nagsasagawa ho ng programa para mapabilis na ho ang distribution ng ating CLOA.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-002803

Meron pong ina-undertake na programa si Secretary Conrado na amin pong tinutulungan, ang DAR SPLIT Program po.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-002804

So sa programang iyon ay iyong mga collective CLOA, nababasag ho natin into individual CLOAs and napagdi-distribute po sa ating mga agrarian reform beneficiaries.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002805

Siguro naman ho, susukatin ninyo iyong bilis kung iyan po ang target ninyo—susukatin ninyo kung naging matagumpay ang inyong inisyatibo. Tama po?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-002806

Opo, hindi lang pong bilis pati po yung bilang po ng ating mga titulo na naipamimigay po.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-002807

Ang target ho natin ay isang milyong titulo ang maibibigay natin sa ating mga kababayan, at sa aking tantiya nasa 200,000 na ho ang naibibigay po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002808

Next question po. Kaya para sa last set of questions, patapos na ho.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002809

Ay tapos na, last question.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002811

So, to the OSG, to Solicitor General Berberabe, I note that lumaki po iyong inyong budget for General Administration Support Services.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002812

I know previously...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002813

Nagkaroon kayo ng problema sa caseload, tama? Pero naremedyuhan ninyo. To what extent po iyong dagdag na budget ninyo ay bilang pagtugon sa mga problemang babanggitin ninyo sa amin ngayon?

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-002814

Okay. Salamat po sa attention po sa OSG. With regard po sa increase ng budget, substantial portion po nito ay mapupunta sa building po ng OSG.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-002815

So sa ngayon po, yung OSG main building, 49 years old na po ito. Ilang dekada na po na pinag-uusapan. In fact, kakalahati na lang po ang occupants ng OSG sapagkat medyo kahit po dumadaan lang ay mga sasakyan para pong may lindol sa loob ng OSG.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-002816

So iilan na lang po kaming opisina na natitira sa OSG main.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-002818

Ang unang taon ng installment. Ang sinuggest po sa amin ng DBM Secretary at saka ng DOF Secretary, imbes po na bumili o magpagawa from scratch, ay humanap po ng building na ready-made at lease-to-own po.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-002819

So dadaan po kami sa GSIS, Government Financial Institution, sila po ang bibili at kami naman po ay magbabayad ng sampung taon.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-002820

So iyon po sana ang aming pakiusap na kung ma-approve po sa GAA, iyong kasama na rin sa proposal ng NEP, ay matutuloy po, mabibigyan kami ng MYCA at makakalipat po, sapagkat 2022 pa po ang report na ang structural integrity po ng building ay talagang tagilid na po ang estado.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-002821

Pero yun naman po ay ibebenta ang building na iyon at mapupunta po ang pagbebentahan sa Bureau of Treasury.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

We in Gabriela Women's Party likewise express grave concern over the proposed massive budget cuts in the budget of the Special Enforcement and Protection Subprogram,

asr-002826

particularly in anti-trafficking in persons enforcement, anti-cybercrime enforcement, as well as the NCC-OSAEC-CSAEM.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Natalakay po kanina kung magkano yung gusto nating ma-restore na cuts, pero gusto ko lang din ho malaman kung magkano ba yung kinakailangan para maabot yung mga kinakailangan nilang magawa para sa susunod na taon.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Lalong-lalo na hindi naman po bumababa ang mga kaso.

Sa katunayan, Mr. Chair,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002832

Marami ring mga kaso na hindi na talaga nagtutuloy doon sa mismong pagfa-file ng complaint dahil sa laganap pa rin na victim blaming, shaming, o yung takot na wala rin namang mananagot kapag sila ay nagsumbong.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002833

May we hear, Mr. Chair, from the DOJ or those in charge in the particular programs?

Ma'am, for 2026, if I may just clarify, the budget of the NCC-OSAEC-CSAEM Secretariat for 2026 is a total of 111.5 million.

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-002838

In the 2027 NEP, it's only 35.6 million.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-002839

So it is our proposal or request that

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-002840

we increase this by 75.9 million to restore to the 2026 levels.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-002841

For the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking Secretariat, in 2026, the total budget of the IACAT Secretariat is 119 million.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-002842

For the 2027 NEP, it's down to 70 million.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-002843

So we're requesting...

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-002844

for more or less 50 million, or 49 million to be exact.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-002845

And for the Office of Cybercrime, in 2026, it had a total budget of 102.2 million.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-002846

For the 2027 NEP, it's reduced to 12.273 million.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002847

12.273

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002848

million. So yung 90% po yung na-reduce from 2026.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Mr. Chair, mas mababa pa

programa na ito. Ibig sabihin, yung original proposed budget ninyo ay pareho lang ng 2026 GAA o mas mataas pa?

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-002852

As to your ask, Mr. Chair, for the original proposed budget for

asr-002853

2027: for the original proposed budget po, we were constrained to limit our proposals, Madam

may mga ganito pa na mga concerns, Mr. Chair, tayo ho

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002989

ay makikipag-ugnayan sa BuCor para matugunan ang mga ito.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Isa pa hong concern sa BuCor pa

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002991

rin ho, Mr. Chair, ang naipaulat ho

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002992

na nawawala na nasa 6 to 7 million sa trust funds ng mga PDL sa

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002993

Correctional Institution for Women. So imbes daw

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002994

po na 13 million ang naka-cash ay 6 million na lang ang natitira. May

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002995

update na po ba tungkol sa investigation na may kinalaman dito?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-002996

Mr. Chair, under investigation po.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-002997

Ang pinagawa ko muna, ni-relieve ko iyong deputy at saka iyong head

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-002998

ng office. Pati ni-relieve ko rin yung humahawak ng pera. And

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-002999

then, of course, iyon ang ina-account po namin. We just concluded

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003000

the investigation last Saturday. We are awaiting the

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003001

report. Ang unaccounted po na pera is

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003002

6,454,405. And ito po kasi hindi

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003003

naman po pera ng gobyerno; pera po ito ng mga PDL.

yung ating superintendent at

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003009

ang Deputy for Administration habang hindi pa po

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003012

sa Office of the Deputy DG for Administration, to the BuCor National

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003014

maaaring makompromiso yung ating ginagawang investigation dahil po nagkaroon lamang ng reassignment,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003019

Ang pagka-attach na assignment nila is for them to be present for the

Ma'am, good afternoon po.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003229

for the Law of the Sea program,

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003230

is it included in your MOOE?

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003231

And according to your office,

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003232

the amount of 10 million pesos

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003233

was allocated for fiscal year

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003234

2026 for this program.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003236

training and capability

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003242

upgrade for OSG.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003243

Ma’am, my question is,

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003244

is this amount lumped with

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003245

training and scholarship expense

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003246

or any other expenses

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003247

under your office MOOE?

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003248

Kahiwalay po.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003249

So mula po noong natanggap

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003250

namin iyong na-allocate

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003251

ng Kongreso na 10 million,

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003252

ang OSG po

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003253

this year nag-set up

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003254

a separate committee

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003255

on the Law of the Sea

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003256

para iyong training po ay nakahiwalay

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003257

doon sa capacity

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003258

building program

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003259

na halo-halo po iyong mga ibang trainings doon.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003260

So there's a separate one now.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003261

Okay.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003262

I'm raising this because

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003263

if it’s lumped with TSE,

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003264

then we are not training

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003265

the government lawyers enough po

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003266

on maritime issues.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003267

And also, we are not sending enough

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003268

lawyers to participate in

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003269

negotiation relating to maritime concerns.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003270

According to your office, ma'am,

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003271

the actual obligation

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003272

of the Law of the Sea program

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003273

is only 422,000

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003274

out of 10 million.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003275

So ibig sabihin po,

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003276

ang utilization rate pa lang po natin

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003277

as of now is 5%.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003278

Tama po ba iyon, ma’am?

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003279

Tama po. Sapagkat iyong 10 million

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003280

na hiningi po ng OSG

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003281

is more or less

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003282

related to our celebration

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003283

of the 10th

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003284

anniversary for the

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003285

arbitral ruling.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003286

The 10th anniversary

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003287

ay pumapatak sa July.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003288

So,

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003289

naka-align po sa

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003290

projects or programs ng DFA.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003291

So, marami po sa 10 million

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003292

ay nandito sa second semester.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003293

So meron po tayo sa

asr-003294

September na

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003295

for around

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003303

80 scholars po ng

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003304

ng OSG. So, agree po ako

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003305

dun sa una nyo pong nasabi.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003306

Kaya po gusto ko pong

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003307

ulitin at i-emphasize na

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003308

kahiwalay na po ang Law of the Sea

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003309

at saka yung capacity building

asr-003310

for more specialized training

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-003311

for our lawyers.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003314

95% pa po kayong available.

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-003316

four months left po for this

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

Secretary Vida, given the massive cuts in your programs and budget items,

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003409

what does this mean in terms of you doing your job?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003410

Kasi nakita ko po ang range po ng cuts ay from 71%, 58%,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003411

14%. So ano po ang magiging epekto nito sa ating trabaho?

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003412

Thank you, Your Honor, for the question.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003413

First of all,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003414

mapapabagal iyong national response po natin against OSAEC and against trafficking.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003415

Meron po kaming nakalatag ngayon na National Strategic Action Plan.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003416

It's a four-year plan.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003417

And with the massive budget cuts,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003418

meron pong mga priority programs na maaaring hindi ma-implement.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003419

And alam naman po natin, pag sinasabi nating strategic action plan,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003420

kailangan naka-step by step iyan.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003421

Hindi ka maka-proceed to other important programs

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003422

unless you build the foundations first.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003423

Ang maganda po dito, despite limitations in resources,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003424

nakabuo na po tayo ng magandang mechanism for local task forces

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003425

to do responses on the ground.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003426

Pero kulang na kulang po iyong capability by these local task forces

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003427

because,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003428

una, kulang po iyong budget allocations.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003429

At the same time,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003430

fragmented pa rin po iyong response.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003431

Kailangan itawid iyong national program

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003432

at i-localize po siya sa mga strategic local governments

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003433

and local task forces that are already in place.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003434

However, if we don't have enough resources

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003435

to support the operations of these mechanisms,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003436

mapapabagal po iyong rescue operations.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003437

Important po iyong rescue operations

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003438

because this leads to victim identification.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003439

If we identify victims,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003440

then we know how to get to them,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003441

where they are,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003442

who they are.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003443

We can rescue them.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003444

We can take a child out of an abusive situation

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003445

the soonest possible time.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003446

So we are really advocating po to, at the very least,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003447

restore the budget levels of NCC-OSAEC and IACAT to the 2026 levels.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003448

Mr. Chair, I am extremely alarmed

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003449

at the scenario we're looking at

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003450

to the budget levels for the special enforcement

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003451

and protection sub-program

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003452

remain at the current levels as proposed.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003453

Ibig sabihin po nito, parang sinasabi natin,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003454

okay lang na hindi ma-rescue ang mga biktima.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003455

Okay lang na bumagal ang ating proseso

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003456

para tiyakin na maililigtas sila.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003457

We usually say that the budget

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003458

is the most concrete,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003459

expression of an administration's priority.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003460

So ibig sabihin po ba nito dito sa massive budget cuts na ito,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003461

hindi priority ng gobyerno ang pagliligtas sa mga biktima ng OSAEC.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003462

Hindi priority ng gobyerno ang pag-rescue sa lalong madaling panahon

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003463

sa pinakamabilis na paraan ito pong mga biktima po.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003464

Nito pong napakalaking, masasabi nating, sindikato

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003465

na nag-ooperate.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003466

Earlier you mentioned that now we're not just talking about individuals

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003467

but we're also talking about how AI is being used.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003468

With this massive budget cuts,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003469

how will you be able to respond to this much bigger problem?

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003470

We need to catch up, sir, on our mechanisms.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003471

Dahil nga po, constantly evolving

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003472

and nagiging mas complicated yung modus operandi

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003473

ng mga gumagawa po ng illegal recruitment, for example,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003474

or grooming,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003475

na-mention po kanina ni Secretary of Justice

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003476

iyong groomers behind iyong mga nihilistic violent extremism incidents po.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003477

Now we don't even need an actual person conducting the enticement of our youth.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003478

It could be an AI agent doing that.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003479

And if we don't put in place the foundations of our IT infrastructure

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003480

for the proper, timely, and commensurate response to the threat,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003481

the AI po being used to perpetrate these crimes,

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003482

that is the threat.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003483

And we need to provide for a corresponding response to the threat.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003484

So we need to consider yung constantly evolving mechanisms po

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003485

of how these crimes are being perpetrated.

Source

DOJ Assistant Secretary Michelle Anne Lapuz

asr-003486

For us to be able to be one, two, three steps ahead of the threats.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003487

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Mr. Chair, let me direct my next set of questions to the Bureau of Immigration.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003501

Magandang hapon po, Commissioner Viado.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003502

Magandang hapon po, Congressman Cendana.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003503

Magandang hapon po.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003504

Ito po ay tungkol po sa usapin ng

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003505

Nung mga paggamit ng blacklist at entry restrictions as a political tool.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003506

Nakita po natin yan noong nakaraang administrasyon.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003507

Ginamit itong mga blacklist at entry restrictions laban sa mga advocates,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003508

laban sa mga aktibista, at laban sa mismong kinatawan ng United Nations

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003509

na human rights advocate.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003510

Ginamit ito in aid of violence and impunity.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003511

Noong 2026 po, sinabi ng Amnesty International Philippines,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003512

nananatiling mayroong entry ban si Amnesty International Secretary General Agnès Callamard

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003513

as a result of her previous work as, again, UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Killings.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003514

Nagsimula po ang ban na ito noong 2018, bunga ng public attack ni former President Rodrigo Duterte.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003515

Kaya mahalaga pong malaman natin meron po bang sapat na safeguards ang BI

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003516

upang matiyak na hindi ito nagagamit arbitrarily, hindi ito naweweaponize,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003517

at para po tiyakin na hindi ito ginagamit laban sa human rights work and peaceful advocacy.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003518

The first question, Mr. Chair: maaari po bang kumpirmahin ng BI ang kasalukuyang status ng entry restriction kay Ms. Agnès Callamard?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003519

If I may confirm with my colleague, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003520

Your Honors, ang lahat po ng desisyon ng Bureau of Immigration ay dumaan po sa proseso, unang-una.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003521

Ang information po na nakalap namin ay hindi lang po galing sa vetting na ginawa ng Bureau of Immigration,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003524

but galing po sa ibang mga ahensya,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003525

dito po and internationally.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003526

We refer to Interpol lists, we refer to fugitive status of individuals bago po kami umaksyon.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003527

And internally, Your Honor, bago po kami mag-issue ng any blacklist, dumadaan po iyan sa proseso

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003528

kung saan ang legal division, ang amin hong mga abogado sa legal division,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003529

and eventually iyong mga Board of Special Inquiry at Board of Commissioners.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003530

Dinadaanan po iyan ng hindi lang maikling proseso pero mahaba-haba po, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003531

So we can assure po, Your Honors, na any decision, any order concerning any blacklist

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003532

ay dumaan po sa tamang proseso at legal na pamamaraan po, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003533

Hindi po arbitrary, hindi po

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003534

at the behest of any individual. Ito po ay ginagawa po sa level po ng aming bureau.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003535

So the question again, Mr. Chair, ano po ang status ng entry restriction kay Ms. Agnès Callamard?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003536

Again po, si Ms. Agnès Callamard po, sigurado ako wala po iyan sa blacklist ng Interpol.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003537

She is former United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Killings.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003538

We are confirming po iyong status ni Special Rapporteur Callamard.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003539

But kung base po dito sa information po na nakalap namin ngayon, galing po dito sa honorable body na ito,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003540

we are willing to also review the status of the Special Rapporteur.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003541

Because we are in favor of human rights, we are in favor of other persons from other countries coming into our country

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003542

and to see how we have gone forward as far as human rights are concerned, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003543

Mr. Chair, thank you very much, Commissioner Viado, for that response.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003544

And we welcome your willingness to review your guidelines, no?

That will be all, Mr. Chair. Marami pong salamat sa DOJ family.

Thank you rin po, Your Honor.

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003555

Ann Matibag. Thank you. Um, I just want to interject also,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003556

no, after what my good friend Cong. Perci

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003557

has conveyed, especially to the OSAEC cases. We are really disheartened on

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003558

what happened with the deduction of your budget, and

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003559

with the OSAEC cases, we were more surprised

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003560

that much in the Department, 'yung mga law enforcement pa,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003561

'yung mas nabawasan din, no, like the Bureau of Immigration and the National

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003562

Bureau of Investigation. So I just want to commend Mr.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003563

Chair, Secretary Vida, and your whole team.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003564

We were in New York, in the United Nations, last March. I am with Usec. Majken Anika, and

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003565

I want to commend their program, which is the Revised CANE+D

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003566

Protocol, which is intended to provide a more standardized and coordinated

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003567

way of handling cases such as this of violence against women and children.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003568

So this emphasizes the clarity on the responsibilities of the agencies involved,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003569

coordinating among them, and a more child-sensitive approach to investigation

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003570

and prosecution. So this is not just a policy in paper. I just want to

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003571

tell—and I'm just so proud of this program of the Department

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003572

of Justice—and this has already begun

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003573

bringing the Revised Protocol to the local level. I remember when

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003574

my group, my social organization, Zonta Club of Laguna,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003575

went to the office of Secretary Vida, and he was very happy to tell us that

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003576

this is not just laws. This is not just a memorandum or any piece of paper or

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003577

a policy, but they already launched nationally in August

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003578

2025, followed by the provincial implementation in Cavite in

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003579

March 2026 and in Cebu in July 2026.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003580

So for me, this is exactly the kind of program that deserves support in the

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003581

2027 budget, especially I'm the chairperson of the Committee on Women and Gender

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003582

Equality, and I'm with Cong. Sarah Elago and Cong. Perci,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003583

who are members of my committee. Rest assured that I just want to manifest my

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003584

support, that we will make sure that your budget will not only be increased,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003585

but with what you wish and hope for to have, especially to the department

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003586

of the wife of Cong. Keith—she's the director—so we

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003587

are in support of that. And maybe before the plenary session, we can

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003588

huddle and think things together, and maybe discuss on

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003589

how we can really explain

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003590

and discuss this budget that we need to really

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003591

bring it back to the DOJ's wish. And I am very happy to

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003592

see everyone here. DOJ, special po kayo dahil

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003593

ako'y pinalaki ng isang fiscal—ang tatay ko.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003594

Especially now that NBI here is very,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003595

very responsive to the needs of being a law enforcement for women and children.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-003596

So, maraming-maraming salamat po. You have my support and respect. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Good afternoon to my colleagues.

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003601

And good afternoon to Secretary Vida and the DOJ family.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003602

Kumusta po kayo?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003603

Okay.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003604

Let me start by manifesting not only my support for the budget, the department-wide budget

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003605

of the DOJ, but also support for the push for the restoration of some of the areas of

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003606

the DOJ.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003613

some of the budget that was cut, including the ones for OSAEC and also

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003614

for IACAT. And we do note very much the significant cuts, of course, in the

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003615

DOJ-wide budget, a 61.82% cut, and then the biggest among the agencies is the

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003616

Bucor by 84.18% cut. I'm talking about the NEP as against the proposed budget

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003617

and then also NBI as 65.84%. So ang gusto ko pong i-ano ngayon, lalo na dyan sa Bucor and sa NBI, if you wish to

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003618

insist about or for more in your wish list for increase in the budget, please

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003619

tell us.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003621

But specific items in the budget for Bucor, for DOJ, for NBI, and even the

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003622

others, OSG and even PAO, so that we can help you out, at least put back the

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003623

priority, your priority programs that were actually cut in the NEP.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003625

Now, I wish to direct my questions first to BI.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003627

then to Bucor and the DOJ proper.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003628

I would wish also to pursue further the case of Dr. Calamard.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003629

Yes, ma'am.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003630

It struck me what you said, that it was not at any behest when you make any blacklisting.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003631

Yes, ma'am.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003632

Sa case ho ba ni Dr. Callamard, ganoon? It was at no one’s behest.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003633

As far as I know, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003634

We want to understand further.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003635

What was the legal basis for the blacklisting of Dr. Calamard?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003636

Your Honor, based on the record, it was a national security concern, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003637

A national security concern?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003638

Yes.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003639

Do you have any specific explanation for that?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003640

National security concern?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003641

Meron ho bang security threat?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003642

There was no crime committed, correct?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003643

There was no crime committed?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003644

As far as I know, Your Honor, no.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003645

And there was no immigration violation?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003646

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003647

Immigration laws violation?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003648

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003649

Immigration laws violation committed.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003650

But what you are saying now is a national security threat.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003651

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003652

But isn’t she the one who investigated the drug-war killings as the former UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial killings?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003653

Your Honor, yes.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003654

That is based on the records available, Your Honor, to us at the moment, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003655

I can dig deeper into this matter, Your Honor, because this matter, I think, was...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003656

occurred even before we came into, you know, we were appointed to the Bureau of Immigration.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003657

But if...

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003658

So hanggang ngayon po, hindi ninyo talaga alam exactly kung anong naging basehan?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003659

Ang basehan po is based on reports from a national security agency, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003660

But I can give you the details and the other facts and issues concerning this matter.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003661

If you can give us a chance, Your Honor, we can give you a full detailed report on that matter.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003662

Hindi ho ba merong motion for reconsideration with respect to that?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003663

As far back as August 2026, there is this motion for reconsideration on the blacklisting of Dr. Calamard.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003664

For the lifting, Your Honor?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003665

For the lifting, for the lifting of the blacklist.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003666

And isn’t it that under the BI Omnibus Rules, the commissioner is supposed to resolve a lifting petition within 15 working days?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003667

Your Honor...

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003668

Bakit napakatagal na iyong ginagawa ninyong review about the case of Dr. Callamard?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003669

Your Honor, as far as I know, there is no pending matter involving this.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003670

But once we get back to the office, Your Honor, we will act on it right away.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003671

How soon can we expect that?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003672

Because this is, you know, this matter is being monitored, actually, by certain UN officials.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003673

Yes, Your Honor. We understand, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003674

We will act on it right away by tomorrow, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003675

Okay.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003676

Okay. Doon naman po sa CAIS.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003677

That’s the CAIS, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003678

The CAIS.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003679

Yes.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003680

May pino-propose kayong additional P480 fee.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003681

That's correct, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003682

For the CAISS.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003683

Bago ho ninyo na-propose itong fee na ito, was there any alternative funding source being considered?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003684

Considering, Your Honor, that this is a public-private partnership program, Your Honor, there was no alternative discussed.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003685

This is an unsolicited proposal which came from a private proponent.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003686

Yes. So why should—I mean, I’m just wondering—why should the cost of modernizing immigration infrastructure be passed on to the traveling public, even if it’s covered by a PPP?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003687

Your Honor, first and foremost, we need a more integrative program which covers

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003688

a border security platform with biometrics, advanced analytics, and passenger information system, actually, to enhance national security and immigration control, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003689

At the moment, there is no particular program which can be funded by the national government at this level.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003690

The private proponent proposes to put the capitalization in the amount of 10.7 billion for the next five years.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003691

And with the constant upgrade of the system every four years

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003692

for the next 20-year period, Your Honor, at no cost to the government.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003693

At no cost to the government.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003694

At no cost to the government, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003695

But you’re still insisting on the P480 fee, because that is what is being demanded.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003696

Actually, Your Honor, it is P240 per ticket.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003697

So if it’s a round-trip ticket, Your Honor, it’s P480.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003698

Compared to other countries, this is way below.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003699

This is actually the practice in other countries.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003700

The US, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan have been doing this at costs which is much higher than what we are proposing.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003701

As a matter of fact, Your Honor, if you can compare, Australia charges about 2,600 pesos per passenger.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003702

Singapore charges 2,400.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003703

Japan charges about 1,200.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003704

Hong Kong charges about 1,500.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003705

Thailand charges about 1,500.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003706

And Thailand charges about 1,800, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003707

So it stays?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003708

I'm sorry, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003709

The imposition of that fee would stay?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003710

I'm sorry, Your Honor?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003711

It would stay?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003712

It is still under review, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003713

The contract is still under review, yes.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003714

We have not signed any contract.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003715

It is still under review by the DOF.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003716

The DOJ finished the review already.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-003717

It is still under review by the Department of Finance and other concerned government agencies, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003718

Sa BuCor naman po, nasaan na po ngayon si retired Major General Jovito Palparan?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003719

Is he still physically present and confined at the moment at the maximum security compound?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003720

With the permission of our Secretary, yes.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003721

Ma'am, General Palparan is still with us.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003722

He is confined in New Bilibid Prison.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003723

Why were there reports that there were notices addressed to Palparan from the Supreme Court

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003724

and then was returned or they were returned unserved because prison authorities refused to receive them,

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003725

stating that Palparan was no longer detained there?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003726

In fact, the envelopes of these notices bear a specific annotation.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003727

It says,

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003728

Moved out, transferred to BuCor, Baguio.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003729

In a separate envelope, moved out to PMA, Baguio.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003730

So which is which?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003731

I think...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003732

Ang bilis naman po ng five minutes.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003733

Hinold ninyo ho ba iyong sasagot?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003734

But anyway, please answer that.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003735

Mr. Chair,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003736

General Palparan has never been moved out from New Bilibid Prison.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003737

from New Bilibid Prison.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003738

The one who...

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003739

The post-office officials are now being investigated

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003740

because they are the ones who are at fault.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003741

Sila po ang may kasalanan niyan na nag-report sila na hindi kami in-inform.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003742

Kaya po inimbestigahan?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003743

Actually, tinanggal na sila at iniimbestigahan po ngayon.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003744

So under investigation?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003745

Under investigation.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003746

Kasi bakit sila maglalagay ng ganoong annotation kung hindi totoo?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003747

Iyon nga po.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003748

Obviously,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003749

oversight po ng mga tauhan iyan.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003750

Iyan po iyong problema sa BuCor.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003751

May mga tao diyan talaga na

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003752

incorrigible,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003753

recidivist,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003754

iyong mga hindi talaga seryoso sa trabaho.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003755

That is...

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003756

You’re talking about the BuCor employees themselves?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003757

Yes. Opo.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003758

That's why I...

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003759

Kung binabago natin iyong pamamalakad sa mga PDL,

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003760

binabago din natin iyong pamamalakad natin sa mga tauhan.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003761

So on your word, Director General,

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003762

Major General Palparan was never actually transferred to any facility?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003763

Never.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003764

Never.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003765

May I ask one more question on Bucor?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003766

Ask a question.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003767

Okay.

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003769

There’s still illegal drug trade going on within your facilities,

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003770

including the New Bilibid Prison, NBP.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003771

Yes.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003772

I must admit, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003773

Ano ho ba ang nagiging problema?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003774

Ang problema po, iyong mga PDL.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003775

Unang-una, hindi sila na-rehab; dinala sa amin.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003776

So may withdrawal symptoms sila.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003777

Pag tinanong sila ng bibisitahin,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003778

“Ano bang gusto ninyong ibigay,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003779

dalhin, pasalubong o pagkain?”

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003780

What do you want to eat?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003781

Ang hinihingi po, drugs.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003782

So...

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003783

At bakit ho nakakalusot ang drugs?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003784

Kasi po nilalagay sa private parts, eh.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003785

But you have inspection procedures, correct?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003786

Yes, ma'am.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003787

And based on reports,

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003788

you have actually tightened those inspection procedures.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003789

Yes, ma'am.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003790

May nakakalusot pong pailan-ilan

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003791

kasi talaga pong nasa private parts.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003792

And then, of course,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003793

may mga tao tayong in connivance with PDLs.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003794

So I must admit.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003795

Kaya iyan po iyong nire-report ko sa inyo,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003796

na isipin ninyo.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003797

Think about it.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003798

Isang nurse

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003799

asr-003800

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003801

pandesal, pandeshal.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003802

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003803

Pandeshal.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003804

So...

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003805

So nakasuhan po iyon.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003806

Tanggal na sa serbisyo iyon.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

And of course,

asr-003812

reprimanded, 41.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003813

So, ma'am,

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003814

hindi po katulad dito ng military.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003815

Outright,

hindi puwede.

asr-003826

that are coming from

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003827

ng BuCor kaagad-agad.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003828

Follow-up lang po ito.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003829

Iyong mga tina-transfer ninyo,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003830

we know na meron kayong mga tina-transfer

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003831

sa mga penal colonies

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003832

na mga PDLs.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003833

That's correct.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003834

Nababantayan ho ba talaga iyon?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003835

Ang ginawa ko, for the longest time, iyong Chinese drug lords sa NBP, nilipat ko lahat sa Mindoro, sa Supermax.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003836

At iyong report naman namin, we will submit to you, na drastically nabawasan na natin ang pagpasok ng mga drugs.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003837

May mga nangyayari po. Iyong bibisitang misis may dala-dalang drugs, nilalagay sa private parts.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003838

Meron ngang kuwento sa akin iyong mga guard, nagbibiro: nahuli raw nila kasi iyong cellphone nag-ring.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003839

And then nakuha doon sa private parts niya, may cellphone, may adaptor, meron pang drugs.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003840

So napakaliit na babae.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003841

Opo. Totoo po.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003842

Yes, that's true.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003843

Paano po iyon?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003844

Meron pong nangyaring ganoon.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003845

Kaya talaga po, pagka ayaw nilang magpa-inspection, hindi na po namin puwedeng mag-conjugal visit kung ayaw magpa-inspect noong misis.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003846

Tinatanong ko rin po iyan kasi iyong mga so-called witnesses doon sa kaso ko, those who gave perjurious testimonies,

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003847

iyong mga nai-transfer na po, iyon ho ba iyong mga nababantayan?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003848

They were watched.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003849

That's why.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003850

You know who I’m referring to?

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003851

All those drug lords, those witnesses who testified in my cases—they were supposed to be transferred.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003852

Nandoon po sila sa Mindoro?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003853

Yes.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003854

Pag bumibisita ako, nagno-noise barrage sila.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003855

Tapos sabi ko, “Picturan mo lahat iyong nag-iingay.”

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003856

Hahanapan ko pa ng isang isla iyan. Ilagay ko sa isang isla na separate branch.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003857

Kasi nagrereklamo sila.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003858

Nagrereklamo po kasi nilipat sila doon sa Mindoro.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003859

So, really...

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003860

They would want back to New Bilibid Prison.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003861

Sa New Bilibid po, medyo mahirap po talagang ma-secure dahil—

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003862

kaya kailangan po isara na po natin iyang New Bilibid Prison dahil napaka-crowded po talaga.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003863

At regional na lang.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-003864

Yes.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003865

I have no time anymore.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003866

I have questions supposedly to DOJ proper, but I have no time.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003867

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003868

Thank you, Cong. Leila.

Source

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

asr-003869

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003870

Next in line...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003871

Next in line…

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003872

Of course, my predecessor, previous sponsor of the DOJ budget, Cong Rufus Rodriguez.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003873

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003874

Good afternoon to my distinguished colleagues and our valued resource persons this afternoon.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003875

So I am here because I am here to support the budget of the OSEC and all the departments

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003876

and attached agencies of the Department of Justice.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003877

Why?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003878

Why?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003879

I finished my undergraduate studies in De La Salle because I was able to get the salary of my father,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003880

who was for 20 years provincial fiscal of Misamis Oriental.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003881

And I would go to the, you know, La Salle, and then we go by jeepney to Padre Faura and get it.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003882

So thank you again.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003883

My life, therefore, has a history of support from the Department of Justice,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003884

and we can never, our family can never forget that.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003885

So first questions will be—these questions are leading questions—

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003886

To increase the budget of the OSEC.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003887

Mr. Secretary, Frederick Vida.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003888

Yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003889

The OSEC, while it looks like there is an increase,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003890

however, your MOOE has been reduced from 1.9 to only 1.6,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003891

so that 203.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003892

million decrease. What is your wish on this, Mr. Secretary?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003893

Your Honor, to meet the levels of 2026, to be restored to that level,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003894

so that the department would have sufficient resources to fulfill its mandate, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003895

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003896

So we will work on that in the BARC, in our Committee of Vice Chairpersons,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003897

and then hopefully in the BICAM.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003898

So thank you.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003899

So restoration of 2.9.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003900

2.3 for Secretary of Justice Vida.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003901

Is that all?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003902

Of course, Your Honor.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003903

We made mention earlier of the request,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003904

so particularly on the reduction of the NEP 2027

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003905

from the proposed budget for the Office of the Cybercrime,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003906

the NCC-OSAEC and the IACAT.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003907

Those are of particular importance,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003908

which we do not want to lose the momentum that we have now, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003909

How much for the three agencies?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003910

Similarly, Your Honor, to be restored to the levels of 2026.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003911

Which is?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003912

Which is?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003913

Take note, because we're going to work for this.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003914

Forty-five, seventy.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003915

Approximately 130 million, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003916

Only?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003917

For the three agencies?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003918

Yes, for...

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003919

Please, please note down, because we’re going to make sure that it will be restored.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003920

To meet the 2026 level.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003921

Yes, at least 2026 level.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003922

Anything else, Secretary?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003923

Of course, particular interest would be on the request of the NBI

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003924

on their pursuit and in the particular challenge in addressing cybercrime

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003925

in pursuit of their investigation and their push

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003926

so that the requested budget from the DBM be restored on the ICT projects and programs.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-003927

Thank you, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003928

Yes, good that you've mentioned, because I'm going to go one by one,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003929

those who were reduced in their 2027 NEP.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003930

And we're going now to NBI, because mentioned already.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003931

Director Melvin Matibag,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003932

is it correct that your agency,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003933

the National Bureau of Investigation,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003934

from 3.791 million,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003935

it is now only 2.9 billion?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003936

All right.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003937

It’s a decrease of 882 million, 23.2 percent.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003938

Is that correct?

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003939

Yes, sir.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003940

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003941

How can they do that to you?

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003942

I have no idea.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003943

Just to be clear, I think the reason why is the utilization at that time,

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003944

because there are some ICT projects that need to be aligned,

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003945

be completed.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003946

But right now, we have recognized the reasons for that,

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003947

and I think the...

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003948

The catch-up plan, right?

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003949

That's correct.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003950

So you finish everything by December 31?

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003951

By December, we will have 98 percent utilization.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003952

The remaining 2 percent will be for the maintenance of the ICT that we will be installing,

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003953

which has already been obligated by this time, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003954

Very good.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003955

So assuming, because we will assume that you will do it.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003956

You’re a very good director.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003957

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003958

So you will be able...

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003959

Can you place here a restoration of 880?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003960

882 million, correct?

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003961

Yes.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003962

And you're satisfied with that?

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003963

Well, I have a specific request, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003964

Say that now.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003965

It will not be counted against my time.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003966

Our agents right now is getting a hazard pay of only 4,000 pesos monthly.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003967

So we are requesting at least we can be leveled with the other law enforcements,

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003968

which is probably the reasonable amount will be 15,000 monthly for them to operate properly,

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003969

our agents has been transferred from one province to another,

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003970

and they’ve been operating 24/7, like the concern on the issue of OSAEC.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003971

Records will reveal that we have so many operations and apprehensions on OSAEC

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003972

and other crimes, cyber crimes also, which we've been addressing.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003973

So I'm respectfully requesting that the hazard pay of our agents from 4,000 be increased to 15,000 at least.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003974

15,000?

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003975

Yes.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003976

Approved.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003977

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003978

From me, from me.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003979

Okay.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003980

Work for that.

Source

NBI Director Melvin Matibag

asr-003981

Salamat po.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003982

The NBI director is my good, you know, our cherished faculty member.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003983

I was dean of San Sebastian College of Law, and I personally requested President Rueda to teach,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003984

and he was there for quite some time with me.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003985

And so now to Chief Rueda-Acosta, what do you need?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003986

I think it will be about the opening of more, you know,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003987

PAO.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-003988

PAO lawyers because of the ratio of courts vis-a-vis the PAO attorneys.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-003989

We need 559 lawyers, Your Honor.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003991

How much is 500?

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-003992

Yes, 500.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003993

How much is that?

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-003994

One billion, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003995

You just know it.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-003996

Because of the high salary.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-003997

We are amenable to half.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003998

How much is one half?

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-003999

Half, only, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004000

Maybe 225 new lawyers.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004001

But give us 400 staff.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004002

We have no staff.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004003

There is no creation of staff position.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004004

How much will be the total of that?

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004005

Meaning both the PAO lawyers and the staff?

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004006

200 lawyers, maybe, and 400 staff.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004007

That may be around 600 million.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004008

Reasonable?

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004009

Around 700 million.

asr-004010

Oh, reasonable also.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004011

So 700.

asr-004012

700 million.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004013

We try to have that.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004014

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004015

Because the Department of Justice and our PAO should support it.

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004016

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004017

Yes, Your Honor.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004020

They knew.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004021

But fortunately, there was no...

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004022

There is continuous creation of courts, branches of courts.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004023

That's correct.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004024

That's correct.

Source

PAO Chief Persida V. Rueda-Acosta

asr-004025

So we need fiscals and PAO lawyers at the same time, Your Honor.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004026

Thank you.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004027

one of the Bureau.

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004029

That's correct.

asr-004030

Commissioner, I understand here in your office, the BI has been greatly reduced by

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004031

1.6 billion.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004033

You're doing so well.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004034

Why are they reducing that?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004035

I don't know the reason why, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004036

But thank you very much for the endorsement.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004037

And we will increase the additional budget.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004038

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004039

What will be the more important priority budget you would request from the committee?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004040

Thank you very much, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004041

First and foremost, we would like to inform the committee and, of course, the honorable

So we would...

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004045

Yes.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004046

And we would need the budget for capital outlay for the post-construction of the new BI building.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004047

It was removed, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004048

How much is that?

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004049

In the amount of 276,280,000, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004050

Okay.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004051

What else?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004052

And we would also like to ask for the capital outlay for the locally funded projects for

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004053

the development, enhancement, and procurement of IT systems and infrastructures, not only

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004054

within the main building, the new BI building, but also our support offices, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004055

So the amount is...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004056

Total is 1,200,527,811, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004057

Okay.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004058

527,811, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

Of that for you to be able to perform.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004060

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004061

And I was in your new building with Secretary Rimulya at the time.

Solicitor General Darlene Marie Berberabe is here.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004075

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004089

You have an increase, but do you need more?

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004090

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004091

The increase of 248 million, I think 255 will go to the first-year installment for the building

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004092

that OSG will procure through the GSIS lease-to-own financing framework.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004093

So . . .

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004094

Iyon po iyong nasa ISSP, 123 million.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004095

How much is the entire building? Because the Ombudsman is buying, GSIS also.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004096

Yung sa OSG po, total of 4.5 billion pesos for the whole OSG,

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004097

and may balik din po naman sa government,

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004098

sapagkat ibebenta po yung OSG main building now sa Amor Solo Street,

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004099

so babalik po yun.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004100

So around maybe 800 million to 1 billion pesos din po yun.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004101

And then, ang hiningi lang po namin ay dahil through the MYCA,

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004102

so 255 million will go to the first year installment to be paid to GSIS.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004103

250 million?

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004104

First year?

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004105

First year. So iyon po iyong nakalagay sa NEP.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004106

Has the DBM approved your MYCA proposal?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004107

Because if it is there, every year we'll be able to put a budget.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004108

Yes, ang nailagay po ng DBM dahil ang timeline po namin,

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004109

six months pa to kung makonfirm, then mafifit out po yung building.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004110

So half year lang po.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004111

Ang nawala po yung sa computerization, sa digital transformation program po yung 100 million.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004112

Very important. How much is that?

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004113

123 million po.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004114

Computerization, we need that very much.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004115

Yes.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004116

Plus the building, 250 for the year, next year.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004117

Iyong pong building, nandoon na po iyon sa NEP.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004118

So ang medyo inihihirit po yung...

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004119

na-exclude po, gawa ng isiningit po yung sa building.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004120

Okay. Digitalization is very important.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004121

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004122

So anything else?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004123

Our solicitor general, who is doing a very good job in the Supreme Court of the Republic of the Philippines.

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004124

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

Source

Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe

asr-004126

Thank you, Congressman Rufus.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004127

And we have the office of the ADR reduced also.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004128

Very small part, reduced pa. Where is the OADR head?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004129

Here, sir. Good afternoon, sir.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004133

That's right.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004134

What is your wish?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004135

Well, you are like some other official saying, I just scolded the CDA representative in that hearing just recently

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004136

with the Department of Industry.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004137

Because he said, he said, this budget will do.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004138

Can you imagine that?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004139

He will agree to the small budget.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004140

He will never say that in a budget hearing that we will make do with the budget.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004141

You fight always so that you will have an increase in your budget.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004142

What do you say?

Source

OADR Executive Director Jose Maria Palaganas

OADR Executive Director Jose Maria Palaganas

OADR Executive Director Jose Maria Palaganas

asr-004145

We would like to propose restoring it to the original 168 million for 2027.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004146

So we restore 26 million, correct?

Source

OADR Executive Director Jose Maria Palaganas

asr-004147

That's right.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004148

OADR, right?

Source

OADR Executive Director Jose Maria Palaganas

asr-004149

That's right.

Please say your piece.

Office of the Government Corporate Counsel representative

asr-004152

Mr. Chairman, we will defer to the judgment of the DBM, Your Honor.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004153

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004154

They always lower everything.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004155

Anyway, Mr. Chairman.

Office of the Government Corporate Counsel representative

asr-004156

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004159

My goodness.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004160

Your budget is small.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004162

What can you say?

asr-004171

So, are you thanking the DBM for that?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-004172

We are requesting more for next year.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-004173

But hopefully, this budget will not anymore be touched.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004174

It will never be reduced, but it will be increased.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-004175

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman.

How about the Parole and Probation Administration?

Source

Parole and Probation Administration representative

asr-004181

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004182

Sino?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004183

Parole Probation?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004184

So I have a wrong addressee.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004189

So I have some letter for you.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004190

So the parole probation, again, was reduced by 49 million.

Source

Parole and Probation Administration representative

asr-004191

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004192

So what are the important items to be restored?

Source

Parole and Probation Administration representative

asr-004193

In our case, we were reduced by 49 million,

Source

Parole and Probation Administration representative

asr-004194

pero po kasi intact na po kami sa ISSP computerization namin.

Source

Parole and Probation Administration representative

asr-004195

Ang wish list po namin ay para sa probation officers’ ladderized

Source

Parole and Probation Administration representative

three-year improvement program for their major competencies po.

Source

Parole and Probation Administration representative

asr-004197

This is about 8,198,000 for a three-year period.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004198

Eight million?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004199

So not billion?

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004200

Very small?

Source

Parole and Probation Administration representative

asr-004201

Yes, sir.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004202

Eight million.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004203

So we'll try to work on that.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004204

Any other agency not called?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004205

Because I think I called everybody already.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004206

I'll just, okay.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004207

Lahat naman yata nakuha na, no?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004208

PCGG, yes?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004209

PCGG.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004210

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004211

Well, you have an increase here.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004212

But what is the wish of PCGG?

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004213

Ang wish po namin, eto talagang wish po, is more institutional rather than budgetary.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004214

Okay.

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004215

Okay.

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004216

So our wish is that the mandate of the PCGG will be expanded, but this requires a law po kasi.

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004217

Because presently po, our mandate is limited.

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004218

It's limited to a few individuals only.

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004219

And so we would like to expand sana yung mandate ng PCGG to include all public officials.

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004220

Right now po,

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004221

Mandate namin is to file civil forfeiture cases.

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004222

So as far as corruption is concerned, that is the template that has been used by the PCGG for the past 40 years.

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004223

And we were able to recover more than 300 billion only through civil forfeiture.

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004224

Wala po kaming naipakulong, pero we were able to recover that much.

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004225

And so gusto po sana namin ma-expand yung mandate.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004226

Perhaps we can now give way to a new mandate.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004227

I understand there's already a bill for that.

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004228

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004229

So I will be a co-author.

Source

PCGG Chairperson

asr-004230

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004231

For that, so that you will be able to expand your powers.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004232

With that, Mr. Chairman, I thank you for being lenient with me.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004233

I congratulate Secretary Vida for an outstanding performance as Secretary of Justice.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004245

Good afternoon, Secretary Vida and the DOJ family.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004246

We in the minority strongly supports the promises of Congressman Rufus.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004247

And I think we can assure fiscal space by reducing the appropriations of the House of Representatives.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004248

Anyway.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004256

Ang first question ko po, Secretary, para po sa ating immigration.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004257

And this is about the CAIS, the Civil Aviation Immigration Security Services Project.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004258

Good afternoon, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004259

I would like to maybe appraise of what's the status of the project na.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004260

The current status, Your Honor, po, it is under contract review.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004261

And the final screening will be made by the Department of Finance, the OSG, and the PPP Center, po, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004262

But the contract was already signed?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004263

No contract has been signed, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004264

So can you just brief us on what's in particular is the contract?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004265

This is a build, train, maintain, transfer modality?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004266

That's correct, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004267

Build, train, maintain, and transfer modality, it is a public-private partnership proposed

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004268

by SIGRIPORT and delivers an integrated aviation and border security platform.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004269

Combining biometrics, merong advanced analytics.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004270

When you say, Your Honor, advanced analytics, kahit po yung behavior ng isang tao at the

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004271

point wherein kinukuha yung information regarding him, any nervous stick, any facial contortion

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004272

can be read by the system to determine kung high risk po siya at malaking probability

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004273

that he will cause havoc when entering the Philippines.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004274

And it also integrates passenger information systems with the ultimate objective of enhancing

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004275

national security and immigration control.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004276

The features of this program include access to billions of facial images.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004277

Yung categorization po and then risk scoring, meaning kaya po na nabanggit ko kanina, kung

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004278

high risk po yung pasahero na lagi intend na pumasok ng Pilipinas, then ma-analyze po

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004279

at mabibigyan po ng proper tool ang aming immigration officer to decide whether or not

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004280

to allow this person to enter.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004281

Meron din pong biographic comparison against criminal and sanctions databases, meaning

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004282

ang interpol po, may access po tayo dyan sa kanilang...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004283

system, not only sa Central, but all 194 countries sa konektado po sa Interpol.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004284

Meron din pong deception detection analytics based on mga nabanggit ko po, involuntary

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004285

and physical cues.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004286

And nandyan din po ang AI-assisted open source intelligence, meaning kung nagkataon po na

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004287

let's say 15, 20 years ago, on Facebook, meron po kayong nasabi, which would

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004288

be the system would read as amounting to or gearing towards terrorism.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004289

Mababasa rin po yan, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004290

Ang target po nito, Your Honor, is to increase, expand the borders, meaning hindi na lang po

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004291

border natin o physical border po ng Pilipinas ang babantayan.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004292

Na-expand po natin yan pagating sa ibang bansa.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004293

Ngayon po, kung ang isang pasahero nagsusubok pumunta ng Pilipinas, based po sa...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004294

pagkuhan niya ng ticket, pagkuhan niya ng kanyang passenger reference number, mariread

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004295

po ito, and then even before boarding ng aeroplano, kung sa tingin po ng sistema na hindi po siya

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004296

dapat sumakay o pumasok ng Pilipinas, ibabato po yung information na po na yun in real time

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004297

sa immigration officers po natin dito sa Pilipinas.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004298

So, that would also...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004299

down to the benefit of the airlines, kasi hindi na po sila gagastos para pabalikin pa po ang isang tao

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004300

na hindi naman po pa papasukin dito sa ating bansa.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004301

So, yan po ang features po.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004302

And then, Your Honor, we also have to take into account that the system being resorted to,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004303

or systems being resorted to, schemes, if I may call it that, resorted to by terrorists, criminals, are ever evolving.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004304

So, itong sistema po na ito...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004305

aims to combat, or help, or be a tool to help our immigration officers in combating human trafficking,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004306

smuggling, drug and weapon smuggling, terrorism, money laundering, tax evasion, and organized crime.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004307

Yan po. Yan po yung sistema, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004308

Ano na-propose po yung Secure Reports Limited?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004309

That's correct, Your Honor. Secure Reports Limited.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004310

Sino pong mayari nito? Porin or Pilipino?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004311

Ano po? Ang Secure Report po is a company incorporated in the United States.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004312

It's way back in 2000. Hindi po Philippine Corporation po yan.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004313

They gave an unsolicited proposal.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004314

Two years in the making na po, Your Honor, ang pag-review po ng iba't-iba ahensya ng gobyerno dito sa proposal po nila.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004315

It went through the PPP Center, it went to the DOJ, it went through the Bureau of Immigration.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004316

So, dalawang taon na po, Your Honor, na...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004317

So, but...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004318

Do you mean that...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004319

Your Honor, a sovereign company will have an access to the data of...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004320

Your Honor, a sovereign function at control po dito sa datos po na ito is retained by the Philippine government.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004321

But how about the servers?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004322

Tayo po may control dyan, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004323

They only provide the tools and teach our people how to operate those.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004324

But ultimately, ang control po...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004325

Initially, they will be accessing these datas.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004326

Yes.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004327

They will help us provide...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004328

They will help provide the tools...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004329

Initially.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004330

Yes or no?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004331

As far as I know, Your Honor, no.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004332

They will not have control over the data.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004333

They will have no control...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004334

They will have no control over the data, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004335

Okay.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004336

Control is maintained by us.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004337

Because I filed a resolution to investigate this particular contract.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004338

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004339

Aside from the...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004340

Yes.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004341

Aside from the...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004342

Kasi po, diba, yung tinanggal nga ng gobyerno, yung tinatanggal ngayon ng gobyerno, yung...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004343

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004344

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004345

So, parang ano, parang yung policy decision ng presidente ay tanggalan ng bawasan yung gastos ng mga pasahero.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004346

Pero ito dadagdagan.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004347

Opo, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004348

Your Honor, ito po kasi, hindi po ito form ng tax, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004349

Ito po ay service fee.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004350

So, hindi naman...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004351

Yes, but that's the function of government.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004352

That's why we are collecting taxes, diba, from our people to provide services.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004353

And that's...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004354

Immigration service yan, yung...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004355

Yes, Your Honor, we...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004356

Cyber security.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004357

Yes, po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004358

So, ang concern ko po dito, parang magkakontra yung policy.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004359

In fact, dito po sa travel tax, exempted na yung mga OFWs.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004360

Pero dito, kasama.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004361

So, yung mga OFWs natin na nagdadala ng dolyar dito sa ating bansa, dadagdagan pa natin ng gastos.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004362

Samantalang, yung revenue na nare-raise natin sa kanila, eh, pwede nating gastosin for this purpose.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004363

We understand, Your Honor, and we fully agree po with your position.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004364

As I've stated, this is a secure...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004365

Ano po?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004366

Service fee po ito, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004367

Meaning, hindi po namin pwede ipasa sa madlang bayan, taong bayan, sa ordinary taxpayer po, ang pag-gastos po dito.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004368

Ang gagastos po dito ay ang mga taong nagka-travel.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004369

Hindi po lahat ng...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004370

Pag-Ws.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004371

Your Honor, admittedly po, sa kanila po, ang mga...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004372

Ang mga pung-ticket, isasama po ang gastosin dito.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004373

Kaya nga, kaya nga.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004374

Your Honor, but if I may continue, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004375

Your Honor, ang gastosin po pagdating sa ticket, hindi po sinasagot po yan ng OFWs.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004376

Sagot po yan ng mga employers nila.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004377

Ang employers po, under an executive order, and under various agreements with other countries,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004378

ang sumasagot po yan ng gastosin po sa pamasahe, at including na po, kung sakali ma-approvean po ito,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004379

yung service fee po na ito, ay sasagotin ng...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004380

So hindi OFWs po natin ang sasagot.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004381

Ito po yung mga kumpanyang kukuha po sa kanila ang sasagot dito.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004382

And if I may, Your Honor, ito pong sistema po na ito, ginagamit na po yan worldwide.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004383

Hindi lang po natin siguro napapansin, pero ang ibang bansa po, nilalagay po yan, nakasama ng gastosin sa mga ticket po.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004384

As I've stated earlier, Your Honor, ang Australia po, charges about 2,600...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004385

Sir, you said Hong Kong is doing this.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004386

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004387

I've been traveling to Hong Kong for quite some time, pero wala akong nakikita ng gano'n.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004388

Baka po sa breakdown, makikita po natin, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004389

Yan po, Hong Kong charges 1,800, Japan charges 1,200, Singapore charges 2,400, Australia charges 2,600.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004390

We charge 240 pesos. So ganyan po yung comparison po, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004391

The total project cost is 10,740,000.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004392

Your Honor, for the first five years po yan, 10.7 billion, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004393

But ang security report po promised a technology maintenance upgrade po.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004394

Upgrade not only of the systems, but also of the training for people every four years over the 20-year period.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004395

Kasama po dito sa 10 billion?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004396

Hindi po, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004397

So another increase?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004398

Hindi po, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004399

Ang commitment po nila is during the lifetime of the...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004400

The agreement sa 20 years po na yan, ganyan lang po naka napag-usapan po namin na charges nila.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004401

Ano po ang capex nila for the whole project?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004402

For the whole project po, over the 20-year period, so 10.7 initially, additional, I think, 52.5 billion over the 20-year period po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004403

So 62 point...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004404

It is in the proposed contract?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004405

It is. Everything is under the proposed contract and under review by all pertinent government agencies.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004406

The total estimated collection is about 202 billion.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004407

Probably, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004408

And the share of the private corporation is 192 billion.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004409

Ang breakdown po, if I may, Your Honor, is per kada apat na dolyar po, 380 goes to the proponent, 20 cents goes to the Philippine government.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004410

5%.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004411

5% share.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004412

Yes.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004413

So this is about 10 billion.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004414

Tama po, 5%.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004415

95% of the collections will go to the private.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004416

A provider.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004417

Yes.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004418

And only 5%.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004419

To the government.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004420

Sir, why are you still giving this to the government?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004421

Sorry, sir.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004422

Sorry, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004423

This is your service, immigration, to our people.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004424

Why are you still giving this to the government?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004425

It will fund the projects of the Bureau of Immigration.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004426

And yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004427

Immigration, projects of immigration for this?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004428

Will also return to the benefit of the government, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004429

Why would you fund another project out of this particular project?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004430

But this will go to the National Treasury, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004431

That's it.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004432

And then, since we are the agency...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004433

So this is still a business of the government?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004434

There's a profit.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004435

The service is what the business does.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004436

No, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004437

We are charging...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004438

It's 5% profit.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004439

It's not...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004440

It's the share between...

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004441

Private proponent and the government, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004442

Is this a part of the Swiss Challenge?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004443

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004444

There was a comparative challenge, which is the Swiss Challenge, which...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004445

Who gave the comparative challenge?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004446

We sent out notices, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004447

But no one came?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004448

No one challenged, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004449

Usually, that's the case.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004450

Usually, that's the case.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004451

Anyway, can we give a copy before the plenary of the proposed contract?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004452

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004453

And the terms of reference and the proposal of the company and the resolution of your PBAC, the bidding committee.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004454

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004455

We will provide all the necessary documents to you.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004456

Before the plenary?

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004457

Yes, Your Honor.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004458

From the PPP, DOJ, Bureau of Immigration.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004459

All of that.

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004460

Your Honor, we will provide it to you as requested, Your Honor.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004461

Another topic.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004462

Last question.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004463

My last question.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004464

Thank you.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

What is the case of Joseph C.?

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004471

Joseph C., Your Honor, is a fake Filipino, Your Honor.

Yes.

If you arrest all the big businessmen, our economy will collapse.

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004478

Your Honor, based on intelligence information that we gathered, Joseph C. is attending the communist party meetings in China.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004479

Well, I asked during the budget hearing last year, I asked Secretary Año kung spy si Joseph C.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004480

Sabi niya sa akin, negosyante lang 'yan. Wala kaming information.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004481

Your Honor, ang pinaglalaban din po namin...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004482

What is your basis for saying that?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004483

Your Honor, intelligence information from government agencies.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004484

From?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004485

From what government agency?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004486

From?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004487

What government agency?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004488

Because I talked to Secretary Año, tinanong ko.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004489

Kilala ko kasi, matagal na si...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004490

Siguro mga 15 years ko nang kilala si Joseph C.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004491

Yes, Your Honor.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004492

So kilala ko naman na negosyante.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004493

Nagbabayad naman ng buwis dito sa Pilipinas.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004494

The information I can relate to you after this meeting, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004495

What agency?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004496

I can relate it to you, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004497

Alam ko lang na agency na nagtatanong diyan, Senate, eh.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004498

Hindi po, Your Honor. Hindi po Senate.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004499

But ang amin naman pong, Your Honor, pinaglalaban din pagdating naman po sa fake Filipinos

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004500

is 'yung sistema natin ng pag-issue ng mga documents na pinanghahawakan po natin bilang Pilipino,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004501

like 'yung pasaporte, 'yung mga birth certificates na nababayaran na po, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004502

Alam niyo po, I've been talking to the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the officers.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004503

In fact, I filed a proposal to amend the immigration law.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004504

Kasi po mahigit, baka 200,000 'yung mga illegal aliens dito,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004505

pero mostly Chinese.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004506

Pumapasok po sila dito using fake documents,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004507

marriage certificates, birth certificates.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004508

So nagpo-provide din 'yung mga agencies natin.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004509

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004510

They facilitate for certain fees.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004511

At ang gusto nila talaga, kung at least mga seven, ten years na sila dito,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004512

wala naman silang criminal record, wala naman silang...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004513

and they're willing to pay ten million.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004514

Yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004515

And that will amount to billions of revenue,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004516

kaysa daw po tuwing Pasko, dinadaanan sila ng mga immigration agents diyan sa Binondo

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004517

at hinihingan sila.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004518

Eh mag-one-time legitimize na nila 'yung kanilang status.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004519

Alam niyo, ang masama dito, may pinag-interesan 'yung property nung isang Chinese,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004520

o, huhulihin.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004521

'Di ba? Ganoon ang mangyayari.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004522

Ganoon ang mangyayari.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004523

Bakit hindi natin i-legitimize?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004524

'Yung ngang ibang mga Chinese, 'yung mga taipans dito, mga tycoons,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004525

they are more Filipino than

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004526

many of us

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004527

in terms of contributing to the national economy.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004528

Bakit hindi natin ayusin ito?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004529

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004530

Maybe Secretary Bida can...

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004531

Yes.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004532

Yes.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004533

Actually, we have a pending for the amendment of the Immigration Act.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004534

So that their additional powers can enter here.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004535

Additional powers to address this.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004536

It also reached us that we have one...

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004537

It also reached us that we have one municipality that manufactures birth certificates, right?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004538

Yes.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004539

In Mineralo.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004540

Yes.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004541

These are the things that, when we see it,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004542

for moving forward, I completely agree with you,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004543

so that there won't be opportunities for enterprising so-called public servants.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004544

Yes.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004545

Because we should send a message that...

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004546

that there should be a cut-clear criteria for us to look at this,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004547

whether you're qualified or not.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004548

Then, you enter here.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004549

When you enter, then we're able.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004550

Of course, a consequential benefit would be collection of the proper fees.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004551

Alam niyo, sa Caloocan, motorcycle...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004552

Sa district ko po, Grace Park, Motorcycle Capital of Luzon.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004553

At karamihan po ng mga Chinese businessman doon, 'yung mga maliliit na businessman,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004554

nagtitinda ng motor parts.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004555

Matagal na po sila diyan, pero talagang illegal po 'yung entry nila.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004556

Mga fake documents.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004557

At dahil po dito sa nangyayaring ito, marami pong umaalis, eh.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004558

Umaalis na.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004559

May mga asawa po 'yan na Pilipina

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004560

na minsan naiiwan na nila.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004561

At kung aalis po lahat 'yung mga illegals doon sa lugar namin,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004562

babagsak talaga 'yung ekonomiya ng lugar namin.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004563

Kaya nga po siguro, kung ayos naman, may NBI clearance,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004564

mayroong national security clearance,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004565

wala naman pong mga kaso,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004566

at matagal na sila dito,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004567

eh baka puwede na nating i-legitimize 'yung kanilang stay.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004568

Katulad din naman 'yan ng mga Pilipino sa America,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004569

mga TNT na nale-legitimize.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004570

At hindi naman natin gawin 'yan dito sa mga kapitbahay natin,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004571

na Filipino-Chinese.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-004572

Maybe the DOJ can work on that.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004573

With your permission, Your Honor,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004574

we will properly come up with a roadmap on this.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004575

Because so that it won't go back and forth.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004576

Because just like what I've mentioned,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004577

we don't want to...

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004578

Because we have a lot of work to do.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004579

I want it to be over.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004580

So that this problem will be over.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004581

With your permission, with permission of everyone,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004582

we will duly consult you.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004583

Of course, we need your...

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004584

We need your learnings on the ground.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004585

We need your know-how.

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004588

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-004598

So that it won't go back and forth.

asr-004602

there's a probability, Your Honor—there's

asr-004639

a possibility—but we

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004640

are always going after them once

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004641

we gather the intelligence information which

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004642

would warrant us to

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004643

detain them and

asr-004644

to deport them accordingly.

Sino po si Mr. Wong, sir?

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

Kasi ho pag naggo-golf ako sa Philippine Navy, pag ang kalaban ko'y mga abogadong naglilingkod din sa

Mr. Wong, I know him from the business community, but we don't talk.

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-004659

Are you aware na may POGO pa ring nag-e-exist sa Barangay Multinational?

At this point, Your Honor, I am not aware, but once I get information from you, we will act on it accordingly, Your Honor.

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-004661

I'm quite sure of the presence or existence of POGO in Multinational.

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-004662

For whatever reason, whoever protects this, it's for you to find out because you have an intelligence fund to address my concern.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004663

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-004664

So ngayon, may decrease sa inyong budget request. Dapat matulungan iyan because we need to strengthen especially

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-004665

border control. Ano po ang epekto nitong budget sa ating border control, sa ating approach sa

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-004666

human trafficking issues, at, of

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-004667

course, sa undesirable aliens na unti-unting pumapasok sa ating bansa?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004668

Admittedly, Your Honor, yung decrease po ng budget namin would affect our

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004669

operations sa lahat. Ngayon po, pagdating sa ni-request ko po kanina, kung maaari pong sa aming border offices—border control offices—and then sa main office po, i-computerize po.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004670

Malaking tulong po iyan sa aming efforts. Ngayon po, pagdating naman po

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004671

sa computerization, iyan din po ang aming habol, and automation iyan

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004672

din po ang habol namin. And

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004673

then nabanggit po kanina ni Congressman Erice yung tungkol po doon sa aming advance passenger information system. Malaking

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004674

magiging tulong po iyon, Your Honor, sa pag-expand po ng ating borders and for us to have a holistic approach,

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-004675

intelligence-driven approach, pagdating ho sa border control, Your Honor.

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

Kung yung particular po na bagay,

and number of others.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005177

Tinatanong ko ngayon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005178

ang Department of Justice,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005179

1 billion pisong cash yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005180

Alam na natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005181

ang confidential funds,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005182

dinidisburst in cash.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005183

We're talking about 1 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005184

So, quarterly,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005185

tiga to 250 million at least.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005186

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005187

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005188

Saan nyo naman ginamit to?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005189

At ano ang naging bunga?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005190

Dito po nakapaloob lahat po nung activities po.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005191

Of course,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005192

nung panahon po ito,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005193

si Ombudsman,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005194

then Secretary Boeing,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005195

rimulya po ang Secretary.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005196

Pero base po sa record namin,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005197

ito po lahat ay disversed and liquidated

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005198

pursuant to the COA circular po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005199

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005200

Wala naman itong mga notice of disallowance?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005201

Wala po.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005202

Wala po.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005203

Wala.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005204

Wala po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005205

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005206

Wala.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005207

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005208

Pero alam,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005209

I mean,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005210

you know,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005211

ngayon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005212

ang hinihingi niyong confidential funds,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005213

2026 is 729,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005214

and for this year,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005215

it's supposed to be 364 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005216

Tama po?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005217

Opo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005218

Base sa NEP 2027, 364 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005219

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005220

Teka mo na, balikan ko pala yung tanong ko.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005221

Saan niyo pala ginamit?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005222

For what?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005223

Ano yung particular na gamit ng 1 billion?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005224

Bakit lumaki ng gano'n sa particular na taon na yun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005225

Tapos,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005226

2026, hindi na kailangan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005227

2027, mukhang lalong hindi niyo kailangan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005228

So, saan ginamit?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005229

In very general terms,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005230

hindi ako humihingi ng detalyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005231

hindi ako humihingi ng detalyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005232

na mag-i-expose ng inyong mga,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005233

of course,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005234

that will compromise law enforcement and so on.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005235

Give us an idea.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005236

The taxpayers deserve to hear,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005237

isang bilyong pisong confidential funds,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005238

inubos niyo sa isang taon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005239

anong pakinabang niya ng taong bayan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005240

kung meron man?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005241

Marami po.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005242

At ang pagsunod po dito,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005243

mahal na congressman,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005244

ay,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005245

base pa rin po sa panuntunan ng circular po ng COA.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005246

Ito po ay gagamitin lamang sa confidential activities,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005247

of course,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005248

yung pag-gather po ng informasyon.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005249

Ito po yung mga bagay,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005250

kasi ang sa pagkakabatid ko po,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005251

ito po ang pagkakaiba nung confidential funds sa regular funding.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005252

May exemption siya doon sa procurement activities.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005253

At meron din siyang peculiar na pamamaraan ng pagliliquidate.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005254

Na ito po ang lahat,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005255

lahat ay sinunod po ng Department of Justice,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005256

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005257

Natumbok mo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005258

Buti po sinabi ni Secretary,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005259

yun talaga ang totoo dyan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005260

Exempted from normal procurement rules.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005261

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005262

kaya ngayon ang concern natin dito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005263

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005264

Madam Chair?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005265

Mr. Chair pala,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005266

and I will wind up.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005267

O, Madam Chair is here.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005268

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005269

Na,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005270

unfortunately,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005271

the pattern of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005272

bloating

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005273

um,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005274

um,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005275

confidential and confidential funds as well as intelligence funds uh,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005276

to unreasonable proportion sa kaso po ng DOJ nung twenty twenty five naging naging almost fifteen percent of the total agency budget no nang OSEC ay confidential okay sa kaso ng office of the president.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005277

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005278

Sa kaso ng office of the president.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005279

Sa kaso ng office of the president.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005280

Almost fifty percent

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005281

of the budget of the office of the president

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005282

confidential and intelligence funds.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005283

Exempted.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005284

Sabi nyo nga,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005285

tama yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005286

Sabi nyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005287

exempted sa procurement.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005288

Wala nang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005289

wala nang mga,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005290

you know,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005291

the safeguards and that.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005292

Kaya napakadali pong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005293

maabuso.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005294

Kaya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005295

ma,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005296

ma,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005297

to the chairs,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005298

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005299

yan po ang panawagan natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005300

Let's bring,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005301

nagsimula po ang ganitong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005302

sobrang paglulog.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005303

Paglulog po ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005304

confidential intelligence funds

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005305

sa ilalim ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005306

Duterte

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005307

presidency.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005308

Unfortunately,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005309

pinagpatuloy

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005310

at pinalala pa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005311

ng Marcos Jr.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005312

administration

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005313

katulad nang sa kaso

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005314

ng DOJ.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005315

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005316

Walang kapangtay tong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005317

1.5 billion

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005318

na confidential funds nyo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005319

in 2025.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005320

That is a

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005321

historic high.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005322

Correct?

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005323

Base po sa records,

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005324

Sir Honor.

Source

DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida

asr-005325

Correct.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005326

Times 10.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005327

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005328

malala na po ito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005329

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005330

Let's bring back,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005331

you know,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005332

rationality

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005333

to the budgeting

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005334

of agencies.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005335

Hindi pwedeng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005336

dahil sabihin mo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005337

national security

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005338

or,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005339

you know,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005340

law enforcement

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005341

and so on,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005342

confidential

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005343

intelligence.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005344

Pwede,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005345

I would,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005346

kung may procurement

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005347

na kailangan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005348

hindi naman pong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005349

dumaan to sa,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005350

you know,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005351

you can classify

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005352

what needs to be

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005353

classified,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005354

pero hindi pwede

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005355

yung parang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005356

blanket exemptions

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005357

on massive amounts.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005358

Dati medyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005359

sabihin mo na,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005360

maliit pa,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005361

reasonable pa yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005362

confidential.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005363

Ngayon po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005364

sobrang laki.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005365

15% of their budget

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005366

to 50%

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005367

of the President's budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005368

This Congress

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005369

might put a stop

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005370

to this abuse.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005371

Yun po ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005372

posisyon natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005447

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005448

Can you please again

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005449

refer to the GAA?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005450

It's the amount

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005451

reflected

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005452

is 3.825 billion.

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005453

Your Honor,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005454

that includes

the E-Gates

am I correct,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005463

Mr. Commissioner?

Your Honor,

about one program,

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005469

all right?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

Based on the GAA,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005471

that's how it is presented.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005472

How about for

asr-005473

2026?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005474

How much is allocated?

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005475

For 2026,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005476

it's 697,542,000,

how much was obligated?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005481

How much?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005482

In 2024,

Your Honor,

asr-005484

almost 98%

out of the 2.6 billion?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005488

2024.

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005489

For 2024?

Let me check the figures

asr-005491

first, Your Honor.

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

I may ask you

Sorry, Your Honor,

for taking up your time.

to give the figures

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005498

later, Your Honor,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005499

for 2024, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005500

What do you mean later,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005501

Commissioner?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005502

We still have to go

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005503

through our records.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005504

My apologies

Oh, no, it's all right.

other questions?

Yes, Your Honor.

It has not been

Rep. Allan U. Ty

for 2025?

expenditure program

asr-005555

Yes, it pertains

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005556

to that, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005557

Also, in

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005558

2026,

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005559

you have an

Rep. Allan U. Ty

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005561

appropriation

Rep. Allan U. Ty

billion.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005568

Am I correct?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005569

Yes, we confirm that,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005570

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005571

May I ask,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005572

what's the reason

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005573

behind the

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005574

unobligated allotment

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005575

for this particular

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005576

program?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005577

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005578

Bulk of it

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005579

sa EGIDS po,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005580

Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005581

The bulk of it

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005582

pertains to the

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005583

EGIDS project,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005584

Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005585

But what are the

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005586

reasons why it's

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005587

still unobligated?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005588

To this date?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005589

Your Honor,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005590

as I've stated po,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005591

no latter part of

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005592

2024,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005593

nag-declare po kami

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005594

ng failure of bidding.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005595

So, kami po ay,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005596

nagkaroon po nung

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005597

we went through

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005598

a rebidding process.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005599

Nung 2025 na lang po

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005600

na yan natapos.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005601

So,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005602

yan po ay

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005603

several months,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005604

admittedly,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005605

Your Honor,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005606

na-delay because of

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005607

that issue.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005608

Ayan po ang,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005609

but,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005610

as I've stated,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005611

we commit to

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005612

make a full obligation

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005613

by November

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005614

of this year po.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005615

Tatapusin na po namin yan,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005616

Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005617

As a matter of fact,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005618

we have been

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005619

conducting meetings

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005620

every week po

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005621

para ho makapagbigay lang po

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005622

ng report sa akin

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005623

sa Bureau po

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005624

yung mga

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005625

nanunungkulan

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005626

para ho matapos na namin

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005627

yung obligasyon namin,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005628

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005629

Is this program different from what Congressman Erice mentioned a while ago?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005630

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005631

The E-Gates project is different from the Enhanced Border Control System

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005632

that is being proposed under the Public-Private Partnership arrangement.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005633

May we request everyone to please settle down?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005634

So can you make the distinction, Commissioner?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005635

Your Honor, with the E-Gates project,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005636

we aim to integrate that with the CAIS project.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005637

The CAIS project is a more holistic approach

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005638

because it does not only pertain to the E-Gates,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005639

but also to our integration with the systems of Interpol,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005640

as well as the Advanced Passenger Information System,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005641

and biometrics.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005642

We also can log in to a billion facial images.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005645

And we also have, under the CAIS program,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005646

the reactive screening based on facial contortions

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005647

or in reaction to certain forms of questioning.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005648

And we can also access open source intelligence.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005649

Not only can we access the 194 countries that are members of Interpol,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005650

their databases,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005651

we can access that.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005652

But also, we can access,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005653

we can access any information from open sources,

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005654

meaning over the internet.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005655

Facebook, that can be accessed, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005656

So this is under the PPP program?

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005657

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005658

Thank you, Commissioner Viado.

Source

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado

asr-005659

Thank you, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005660

Let me go to LRA Administrator.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005661

Mr. Administrator,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005662

in your proposed 2027 budget,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005663

proposed budget,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005664

how much is under special account?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005665

What budget?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005666

Your Honor, it's $1.8 billion.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005667

$1.780 billion?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005668

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005669

What is the source of your special account in the general fund, Mr. Administrator?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005670

Your Honor, the special account is Fund 151.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005671

It is a special account provided by PD 1529,

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005672

where, from our collections, we are allowed to retain 20% of our earnings, Paul.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005673

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005674

Please settle down.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005675

Quiet, please.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005676

Where does the 80% of the collection go?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005677

How about the balance of 80%?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005678

Where does it go?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005679

Your Honor, the 80% goes directly to the National Treasury,

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005680

and we retain 20% subject to the approval of the DBM on the releases of the 20%.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005681

So the 20% in the amount of 1.7,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005682

can we use that amount?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005683

To pay for titling of free patents issued by the DENR?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005684

Your Honor, the 1.7 billion is 15% only out of the 20% it represents.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005685

Your Honor, we believe that it can be used for it.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005686

The coverage of the special account refers to MOOE accounts and capital outlay.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005687

Because, Administrator, there are thousands of unclaimed free patents before the Registry of Deeds all over the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005688

So, probably, can you account for the free patents, unclaimed free patents, in all the Registry of Deeds all over the Philippines?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005689

Yes, Your Honor, you are correct.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005690

We have made that observation in our visits to the different Registers of Deeds.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005691

We have observed several, if not thousands, of unregistered patents previously.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005692

This was covered by an agreement with the DENR, which paid for the registration of the patents.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005693

Subsequently, they removed that funding.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005694

So, perhaps with the approval of the DBM, we can utilize it in registering some of these, or all the remaining patents issued.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005695

To be taken from the special account?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005696

Yes, Your Honor, if we can maximize the utilization to 20%.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005697

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005698

So, on the other matter, Mr. Administrator, what is the legal responsibility of the

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005699

Registry of Deeds and the LRA for the safekeeping maintenance of Certificate of Titles?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005700

Please, quiet down.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005701

Your Honour, under PD 1529, the function of the main function of the Registers of Deeds is the main repository of all the

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005702

titles and supporting documents.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005703

So it's a registry of deeds?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005704

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005705

Is the registry of deeds required to prepare an inventory of titles which have been lost,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005706

destroyed, or rendered unusable by deterioration?

Source

asr-005707

Your Honor, under PD 1529, the RDs are obliged to conduct an inventory annually.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005708

I would suppose that would also include all titles, whether it has been lost or damaged in their custody.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005709

In case of lost administrator of title, who has the legal responsibility for judicial reconstitution?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005710

Your Honor, unfortunately, when the title is lost, the RD copy is lost.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005711

Under RA 26, as amended by RA 6732,

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005712

the responsibility is given to the owner of the title.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005713

The responsibility was taken away from the RD.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005714

Previously, the RD was allowed to initiate reconstitution cases,

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005715

but because of the passage of the law and because of a Supreme Court decision involving the RD of Malabon or Mandaluyong,

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005716

the Supreme Court said that the RDs cannot undertake the filing.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005717

Under the reconstitution case.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005718

Sir Administrator, is there no exception to the rule under RA 6732?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005719

Under RA 26, as amended by RA 6732,

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005720

administrative reconstitution can be undertaken by the LRA

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005721

if the Administrator has evaluated that at least 10% of the titles in the RD has been lost,

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005722

But in no case should it be less than 500 titles.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005723

As you mentioned earlier, Mr. Administrator, you said the Registry of Deeds are required or mandated to have an inventory of lost titles.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005724

So based on the submission, did the Registry of Deeds make the submission?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005725

They are required to conduct an inventory which should also include all lost titles.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005726

Some of the RDs have complied with the provisions of the law, and we are closely monitoring also the other RDs, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005727

Let's say in case the administrative threshold is not met, what can your office do to assist those lost titles, individual lost titles,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005728

considering that the loss?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005729

Loss was in the Registry of Deeds, am I not correct?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005730

Your Honor, it is quite unfortunate that the burden is given to the registered owner in undertaking the registration or reconstitution of lost titles.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005731

And on our part, what we can do is only provide them with the assistance of providing some of the necessary documents that they will need

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005732

in filing the appropriate constitution case with the courts, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005733

Let's go to Friar Lands.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005734

In case of loss of Friar Lands or has been lost or destroyed, and the DNR issued subsequent deed of conveyance,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005735

what will happen to the registration of the deed of conveyance before the Registry of Deeds?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005736

Thank you, Your Honor, for bringing it up.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005737

We have several Friar Lands across the country.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005738

We have the OCDC.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005742

We have the OCDC, which is supposedly in the custody of the Registers of Deeds.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005743

And the owner's copy is supposedly with the LMB.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005744

It is unfortunate that some of the RDs have been destroyed or damaged, which included the titles also.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005745

And it is also unfortunate that LMB has also been burned.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005746

Their head office in Binondo was burned.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005747

So they have also lost some of the owner's copies of these titles.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005748

But I would like to inform Your Honor that we are currently talking to the LMB,

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005749

since they have lifted the moratorium on the issuance of deeds of conveyance,

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005750

to explore administrative remedies so that we can also help the awardees or claimants of these Friar Lands.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005751

What administrative remedies?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005752

What administrative remedies you are referring to on the part of the DNR?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005753

We will still be discussing with the LMB, Your Honor.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005754

In fact, we were supposed to have a meeting last week, but because of the weather, it did not permit it.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005755

But we will be meeting with them soon.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005756

Perhaps, Your Honor, also with your help, you can also talk to the LMB to meet with us soon on this matter.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005757

I think the DNR is scheduled.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005758

We will have a budget hearing on Wednesday.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-005759

Maybe, Administrator, if you can commit to us that you can be present here on Wednesday in the afternoon.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-005760

I will come, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

Next in line from the minority again, Rep. Renee Co.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005767

Thank you very much, Chair.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005768

And thank you again for DOJ for continuing to be here.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005769

My next questions would be in relation to the supposed closure or nearing closure of the New Bilibid Prison.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005770

So it's been on the news that the Bureau of Corrections transferred 15,730 inmates ahead of the closure.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005771

Puwede pong matanong, since this is a huge endeavor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005772

Logistically, ano pong budgetary provisions?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005773

Paano po napondohan ng DOJ 'yung pagpapalipat po ng mga inmates, mass transfer operation, transportation, security, etc. po?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-005774

With the permission of the Secretary, Mr. Chair, the transfer of the PDLs, ginagawa po 'yan yearly.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-005775

And it's with the support of the budget of Bucor using its MOE.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-005776

So pag nag-transfer po ng isang PDL, it costs us about 15,000 to 20,000.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-005777

And that's the way we are slowly transferring ng mga PDL.

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-005778

And of course, alam niyo naman po sa New Bilibid Prison,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-005779

na 300% congested siya nung dumating ako diyan,

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-005780

and now we have reduced it to almost 200% congestion na lang po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005781

Puwede po bang ma-confirm, Mr. Chair, na may mga PDLs na mata-transfer to, aside from itong penal colony in Zamboanga?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005782

Meron daw pong reports na lilipat din po sa Sablayan, Mindoro;

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005783

Iwahig, Palawan; San Ramon, Zamboanga del Sur;

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005784

Abuyog, Leyte; at saka po sa Davao del Norte.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005785

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005786

So malilipat din galing New Bilibid papunta dito sa ibang mga penal colonies?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-005787

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005788

Mr. Chair, puwede po bang makakuha ng full list?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-005789

Yes. We will submit to you the number of PDLs transferred for each operating prison and penal farm

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-005790

outside the

NBP.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005792

Okay.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005793

'Yung concern ko po, Mr. Chair, ay, well, ang DOJ, ang BuCor, nagsabi that they are observant of the Mandela Rules,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005794

the Nelson Mandela Rules, ahead of any legislation, any parang law that would really mandate 'yung pag-observe noon.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005795

But Rule 59 says that prisoners should be assigned to prisons close to their homes or their places of social rehabilitation.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005796

So ang concern ko po, 'yung mga lilipat,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005797

baka po malayo doon sa kanilang mga pamilya, lalo na kung galing Luzon,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005798

tapos ililipat po sa Davao del Norte or sa Zamboanga del Sur, malalayo.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005799

Meron po bang way para i-ensure na hindi naman ganito—hindi malalayo sa pamilya,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005800

from legal counsel or even support networks kung saan po sila matatagpuan?

Source

BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr.

asr-005801

Based on our records,

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006179

naka-mention doon na subdivision

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006180

plan po.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

So kailangan po ba talaga yung original

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006182

title?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006183

Opo. Mayroon pong hierarchy. Kapag

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006184

administrative reconstitution, dapat

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006185

na nandoon po yung

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006186

owner's duplicate copy.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006187

Kung wala naman po,

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

mayroon pong copy,

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006189

photocopy ng nasa

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006192

mortgagee puwede pong gamitin as

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006193

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006194

There are, I think, five

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006195

copies po

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006196

that are permitted under

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006197

the law na puwedeng

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006198

supporting document po sa ating reconstitution.

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006199

How about for Friar Lands

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006200

na wala pang na-issue na derivative

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006201

titles?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006202

Yung pong OCT po

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006203

ang kailangang

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006204

ma-reconstitute po.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006205

How about where there are already

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006206

derivative portions of the

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006207

Friar Lands—a derivative title

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006208

has been issued already—and

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006209

subsequently the DENR

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006210

issued a deed of conveyance?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006211

Can the

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006212

derivative titles that

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006213

have been issued be used as

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006214

a basis for issuance

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006215

of title to

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006216

portions of the

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006217

original Friar

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006218

Land? Puwede po ba iyon?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006219

We will explore po the possibility

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006220

of making use of the

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006221

derivative titles that

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006222

have been issued already, coming from

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006223

the OCT po, kung

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006224

magagawa po ng

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006225

administrative remedy.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006226

Under what particular

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006227

law are you referring to?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006228

We will check po, because the

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006229

only existing law when it comes

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006230

to reconstitution is

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006231

R.A. 26, as amended

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006232

by R.A. 6732 po.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006233

So my question now, Mr.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006234

Administrator, is: why should

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006235

the loss or deterioration

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006236

of the original Friar Land

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006237

title prevent the issuance of titles

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006238

to subsequent owners when

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006239

their respective rights are supported

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006240

by a valid

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006241

deed of conveyance and approved

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006242

subdivision documents?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006243

Opo. The law po

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006244

kasi, especially P.D. 1529, requires that the owner's duplicate copy must be surrendered

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006245

po. So that is the problem right now. What should have happened was, when they subdivided the Friar Lands, it should have been totally cancelled already—wala na hong naiiwan—and

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006246

the remaining lots that have not yet been awarded should have been issued titles in the name of the Republic para mas

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006247

madali po. What happened right now is that there is partial

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006248

cancellation. So it leaves us with portions of the Friar Land na wala pong titles.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006249

So iyon po ang aming dilemma ngayon.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006250

So can you say what

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006251

Registries of Deeds, or what provinces, have Friar Lands problems?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006252

As far as I recall, Your Honor, the RDs in Cavite—I think there are four Friar Lands in Cavite—and also the RD in Cebu Province. There's

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006253

also one particular RD which I'm aware of where the copy of the OCT has been lost.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006254

So,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006255

Mr. Administrator, since you already committed to attend the budget hearing of the DENR on Wednesday, August 26 at 11:00 a.m.,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006256

can you also bring your Registries of Deeds of Cavite to join us in our meeting?

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006257

Yes, Your Honor, I will.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006258

And also, if you would like, I'd also invite the RD from Cebu.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006259

Thank you.

Source

LRA Administrator Gerardo P. Sirios

asr-006260

There are similar issues concerned.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006261

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006262

That's all, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006263

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006264

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006265

Thank you, Mr. Administrator.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-006266

Thank you, Cong. Allan Ty.

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-006267

[unclear] ba natin muna, ah, suspend the hearing briefing po muna.
