Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000071

We can now proceed with the opening statement of this representation.

00:14:40Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000072

This morning, in the hearing of the National Irrigation Administration,

00:14:47Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000073

nabanggit natin tatlong malaking hamon ang ating pagtutuunan ng pansin

00:14:52Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000074

sa mga hearing natin para sa 2027 budget.

00:14:58Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000075

Ang Super El Ni??o,

00:15:00Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000077

ang patuloy na matinding pagbaha sa Central, Southern, Northern Luzon,

00:15:07Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000078

ang mariing napanawagan ng publiko na may managot sa mga ghost at substandard government projects.

00:15:14Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000079

Dagdag dito ang krisis na hinaharap ng ating mga magsasaka,

00:15:21Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000080

particular sa usapin ng pagtaas ng presyo ng crudo, ng pataba, ng pesticido,

00:15:28Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000081

at syempre, yung matinding El Nino.

00:15:33Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000082

Kaya dapat malinaw ang paninindigan ng panukalang 2027 budget ng DAR.

00:15:39Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000083

Bawat piso ay dapat may pakinabang, may resulta, at may pananagutan.

00:15:44Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000084

Dapat nitong tiyakin ang karapatan ng mga magsasaka sa lupa,

00:15:49Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000085

palakasin ang mga agrarian reform beneficiaries, at protektahan ang lokal na food production.

00:15:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000086

Lalo na ang nagbabadyangang pagpapalakasan.

00:15:58Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000087

Pagpapalakas, sabi nga nila, the worst ever, El Nino.

00:16:02Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000088

The ARS proposed new appropriation of 14.69 billion is 13% lower than its 2026 GAA budget.

00:16:11Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000089

Yet, within that constraint, the proposed budget allocates 5.9 billion for agrarian reform,

00:16:18Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000090

beneficiary development, and sustainability, including P949 million for climate resilient farm productivity support.

00:16:28Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000091

Tama ang direksyon.

00:16:30Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000092

Subalit, sapat ba ang mga pondong ito?

00:16:35Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000093

Maganda ang pangalan ng programa.

00:16:37Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000094

Kailangan malinaw kung ano ang aktual na mayahatid ng climate resilient farm productivity support

00:16:44Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000095

para sa mga agrarian reform beneficiaries.

00:16:47Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000096

At ang resultang inaasahan natin, tunay na pagunlad ng ating mga sakahan,

00:16:53Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000097

mas protektibong, mas matatag, at mas kumikita.

00:16:58Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000099

Sa panahon din ng matinding panawagan para sa pananagutan,

00:17:01Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000100

iginigiit din natin na bawat pasilidad, negosyo, at benepisyaryo na suportado ng DAR

00:17:08Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000101

ay madaling ma-verify, ma-geotag, bukas sa publiko ang mga kontrata at impormasyon.

00:17:16Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000102

Dumaan din sa independent inspection at napapatunayan aktual at umiiral at gumagana.

00:17:21Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000103

Hindi kikilalanin ng climate shocks, ikanga, ang katiwalian, kapababayaan,

00:17:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000104

umabagal na burokrasya, hindi rin mapapalitan ng imports,

00:17:32Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000105

ang matatag at matibay at maganda ang output at productivity ng magsasakang Pilipino.

00:17:39Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000106

Kaya naman ngayon, higit kailanman, kailangan ng tunay na bayanihan.

00:17:44Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000107

Kailangan sama-samang pagkilos at tapat na pagtutulungan ng gobyerno,

00:17:49Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000108

mga magsasaka, kooperatiba, lokal na pamalaan, at mga mamamayan

00:17:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000109

para maprotektahan natin ang ating mga sakahan.

00:17:57Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000110

at pagkainan.

00:17:59Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000111

Nagpapasalamat tayo sa ating schoolmate, Sekretary Conrad Estrella III.

00:18:08Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000112

Mas matanda siya ng mga ilang taon lamang, pero palagay ko nakakalamang siya sa paligo sa atin.

00:18:17Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000113

We especially like to mention that we are thankful to the Secretary for his full support

00:18:26Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000114

for our efforts.

00:18:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000115

The Agri-Agra team with Secretary Kiko Laurel.

00:18:30Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000116

We have made a lot of progress in terms of interventions to support our farmers and fisher folk.

00:18:36Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000117

And I must say, Secretary Conrad has been 101% supportive of our initiatives.

00:18:44Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000118

And we are thankful that because of his support, we have been able to put together the Sagip Saka full implementation,

00:18:56Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000119

the executive orders.

00:18:57Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000120

We will now provide for greater support for direct purchases of our farmers and fisher folk.

00:19:06Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000121

And the approval on third reading, at least in the Senate, of Senate Bill 1990 and Senate Bill 1991,

00:19:15Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000122

which is the reestablishment of the Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Co-ops under the Department of Agriculture,

00:19:21Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000123

and the renationalization of the extension workers for farmers and fisher folk.

00:19:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000124

We hope his support, mabulungan niya ang ating Pangulo,

00:19:32Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000125

para ang House of Representatives, ang ating majority leader,

00:19:36Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000126

ay maikalendar na for third reading din sa House of Representatives ang mga batas na ito.

00:19:43Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000127

Alam nating lahat, pag nasuportahan ang pagkakabuklod-buklod ng mga magsasaka at manging isda

00:19:51Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000128

sa ilalim ng malakas at matibay na kooperatiba.

00:19:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000129

At nariyan ang ating...

00:19:57Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000130

ating infantry ng mga agriculture and fisheries extension workers

00:20:03Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000131

talagang mabibigyan ng ikanga shot in the arm ang ating mga farmers at fisher folk.

00:20:10Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000132

With that, again, we thank you, Sec. Conrad, for championing the cause of our farmers.

00:20:17Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000133

Mahalagang bagay na ikaw ay isang kasama natin sa Agri-Agra team.

00:20:21Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000134

And because of that, wala na po kaming tanong.

00:20:23Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000135

No, diro na.

00:20:33Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000136

We would like to acknowledge our majority leader for his opening statement.

00:20:35Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-000137

Go ahead, sir.

00:20:36Source

mga kababayan, at mga napakasipag na government employees,

asr-000143

from the Department of Agrarian Reform.

00:21:00Source

asr-000145

asr-000146

We are colleagues in Congress,

00:21:14Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000148

pati lolo mo,

00:21:16Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000149

and it's just fitting to see how you have grown,

00:21:20Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000150

not just as a legislator, but now as a member of a cabinet

00:21:23Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000151

and holding the portfolio of the Department of Agrarian Reform.

00:21:27Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000152

Mr. President, Mr. Chairman, rather,

00:21:30Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000153

during the four years that he has headed the department together with USEC-Galit

00:21:36Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000154

and all the USECs here and ASECs,

00:21:38Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000155

and many of them have worked in different capacities,

00:21:41Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000156

they have continuously assisted our farmers and agrarian reform beneficiaries

00:21:48Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000157

all over the country, particularly sa Bukidnon po.

00:21:52Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000158

Napakasaya nila po doon sa Department of Agrarian Reform.

00:21:56Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000159

As a matter of fact,

00:21:57Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000160

magpapayabang ako ng konti, Chairman.

00:22:00Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000161

Bukidnon is the province with the highest GDP participation in agri.

00:22:08Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000162

We're three times larger than the second province.

00:22:11Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000163

I think Isabela yata yung second province.

00:22:13Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000164

Bukidnon, contributing pineapples, bananas, sugar, corn, poultry,

00:22:24Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000165

piggery, swine production,

00:22:26Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000166

and many more.

00:22:27Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000167

Many, many others in the agricultural pie.

00:22:32Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000168

Talagang ano po kami, agricultural powerhouse.

00:22:34Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000169

And about half of that, or maybe more than half,

00:22:37Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000170

maybe 70 or 80 percent of those farmers, Mr. President,

00:22:41Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000171

Mr. Chairman, are members of agrarian reform communities.

00:22:45Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000172

And talagang napaganda.

00:22:47Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000173

As a matter of fact, may COA report po lumabas,

00:22:50Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000174

may co-report last year na the roads that we built,

00:22:53Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000175

the farm-to-market roads that we built,

00:22:55Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000176

and thank you, Madam.

00:22:56Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000177

We actually used that many times with COA,

00:23:01Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000178

has actually increased the income of all our farmers.

00:23:05Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000179

Kasi doon sa Bukidnon, dati talagang bukid.

00:23:08Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000180

Kaya Bukidnon, puro bukid.

00:23:10Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000181

Walang kasada yung mga baranggays.

00:23:12Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000182

And then with the help of the DA,

00:23:14Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000183

with the help of our office initiatives and the DAR,

00:23:18Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000184

ang dami po mga in-interview.

00:23:21Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000185

Ninety-eight percent, I think,

00:23:22Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000186

ninety-eight percent or ninety-five percent of those interviewed

00:23:24Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000187

were very happy with the projects.

00:23:26Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000188

Of DAR and DA and the DPWH to the baranggays

00:23:30Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000189

because napataas po ang kanilang income.

00:23:33Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000190

Dati po, Mr. Chairman,

00:23:35Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000191

four pesos per kilo yung corn sa transportation.

00:23:41Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000192

Alam nyo po, four pesos.

00:23:43Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000193

Because sinasakay po nila yung mais sa likod ng kabayo or motor.

00:23:48Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000194

Kasi wala pong kasada.

00:23:50Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-000195

Ngayon, because of the intervention of the DAR

00:23:52Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

Napansin nyo siguro,

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000672

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000673

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000675

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000680

00:44:42Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000681

lawyers. I think if I'm not mistaken

00:44:44Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000682

we hired about

00:44:45Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

00:44:48Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000688

hiningi, hiniling puna.

00:45:00Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000689

Kami sa DBM na gawin na lang hong attorney for at pinayaga naman ho ng DBM. So marami ho kaming na-hire na lawyers at we assigned them in the different regions.

00:45:16Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000690

At tinulad na rin po namin yung style po ng barangay courts to declug the RTCs, the MTCs, the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court.

00:45:36Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000691

Ganon din yung ginawa namin. Meron na rin ho kaming mga barangay courts na pinag-uusap-usap na lang ho.

00:45:44Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000692

Para hindi ho dumami ang kaso. Meron nga ho kaming Agrarian Reform Justice on Wheels, ARJOW.

00:45:59Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000693

Similarly, the Department of Agrarian Reform Adjudication Board or DARAB has maintained a strong record in resolving agrarian disputes.

00:46:11Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000694

Yan din po sa DARAB din po which is the Department of Agrarian Reform Adjudication Board.

00:46:14Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000695

At tumaas din po ang aming resolution na performance. From January to June 2026, we resolved 7,396 cases out of 9,874 or 74.9%. As of June ho yan.

00:46:41Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000696

These accomplishments demonstrate the Department's continuing commitment

00:46:43Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000697

to strengthen the legal foundations of agrarian reform

00:46:44Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000698

and ensure that disputes involving farmers, beneficiaries, tenancy, and leasehold are addressed through appropriate legal mechanisms.

00:47:00Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000699

The third pillar is agrarian reform beneficiaries development and sustainability. Under this pillar, DAR continues to provide support services that enable our farmers not only to own land, but to make a viable and sustainable livelihood from it.

00:47:14Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000700

And one important form of support is irrigation. Katatapos lang ho ng NIA kanina dito. I'm sure they also presented that we have in NIA, pondo po namin 'yon, 'yung CARP funds, pero sa kanila po, sila po ang nag-i-implement, and we are monitoring it also. Wala naman hong nakikitang

00:47:44Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000701

Nakikita nga mga Casper the Friendly Ghost po doon sa kono. Wala ho.

00:47:53Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000702

From July 2022 to July 2026, DAR has facilitated 285 irrigation projects of which 233 have been completed and 52 are ongoing.

00:48:07Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000703

These projects amount to approximately 5.02 billion covering 34,711.74 hectares and benefiting 40,775 farmer beneficiaries.

00:48:25Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000704

Importantly, the majority of these irrigation facilities are solar-powered, providing a more sustainable and cost-efficient source of water for agriculture.

00:48:37Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000705

We have also continued to improve physical connectivity through farm-to-market roads.

00:48:46Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000706

These roads help address one of the persistent challenges faced by farmers bringing their produce from farm to market.

00:48:56Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000707

Ako po ay naniniwala doon po sa sinabi kanina ng ating gagalang-galang na majority floor leader na lumaki po ang kita.

00:49:06Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000708

Ang ating mga magsasaka dahil po dyan sa mga daan na yan at pati sa mga tulay na nagawa po, hindi lang po sa bukid nun yan, sa buong Pilipinas po nangyayari yan.

00:49:19Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000709

At salamat din po sa tulong ninyo, pagbigay ninyo ng pondo sa amin.

00:49:25Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000710

There are also 89 ongoing projects covering approximately 108.351 kilometers and benefiting 26,000.

00:49:36Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000711

8,953 ARBs.

00:49:39Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000712

Wala ho doon sa farm-to-market roads namin, wala ho farm-to-pocket roads doon.

00:49:47Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000713

And kompleto ho yun.

00:49:49Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000714

In fact, kahit sabi namin, huwag na ninyong hahabaan masyado kung hindi kailangan.

00:49:56Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000715

What is more important? So that the road will last.

00:49:59Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000716

Ako po mismo naguutos sa mga regional directors, sa mga provincial agrarian reform programs,

00:50:06Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000717

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000724

po ay maghahanap yan

00:50:22Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000725

ng paraan upang pumasok

00:50:24Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000726

sa ilalim

00:50:26Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000727

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000730

yung suporta ng simento na pupunta

00:50:34Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000731

dun sa side, nagiging

00:50:36Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000732

hollow ho yun. Pag dinaanan ng

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000733

mabigat na truck, magka-crack na

00:50:40Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000734

maghahanap na naman tayo ng pera.

00:50:43Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000735

So, yan ho ang standard

00:50:44Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000736

namin. Talagang

00:50:45Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000737

hindi ho namin papayagan

00:50:48Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000738

na magkaroon ng kalukuhan

00:50:50Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000740

yun pong mga farm-to-market roads

00:50:54Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000741

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000742

ang nagre-request po

00:50:58Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000743

niyan, ang mga agrarian reform

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000744

communities,

00:51:03Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000745

yun ho mga ARCs

00:51:04Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000746

00:51:06Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000747

roon habang ginagawa yan.

00:51:08Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000748

And because of this

00:51:10Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000749

also, baka ho

00:51:12Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

00:51:14Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000756

00:51:26Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000757

in government, baka

00:51:28Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000758

pwede niyong ilagay sa amin.

00:51:31Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000759

We all believe

00:51:32Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000760

that government spending

00:51:34Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000761

is pump-priming the economy.

00:51:36Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000762

But government spending

00:51:38Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000763

should be quality spending.

00:51:41Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000764

Ladies and gentlemen,

00:51:42Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000765

with DAR, you can be sure

00:51:44Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000766

it is quality spending.

00:51:46Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000767

And so we will be able to help pump-prime

00:51:48Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-000768

the economy, especially

00:51:49Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001395

so yung kanilang program with the DSWD

01:15:20Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001396

and the Irrigators Association

01:15:22Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001397

they were able to sell about

01:15:24Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001398

1.5

01:15:26Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001399

actually

01:15:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001400

the farmers were able to sell about 1.6

01:15:30Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001401

billion pesos worth

01:15:31Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001402

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

the Irrigators

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001408

01:15:46Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001409

to sell directly to the LGUs

01:15:48Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001410

because if I'm not mistaken

01:15:50Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001411

the President

01:15:52Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001415

for every municipality

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001417

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001419

Quezon City

01:16:04Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001420

which had an allocation

01:16:07Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001421

of about

01:16:08Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001422

Quezon City lang?

01:16:12Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001423

2 billion

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001424

they were able to purchase

01:16:16Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

01:16:17Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

the Irrigators Association sold

01:16:20Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001427

500 million pesos worth of rice

01:16:22Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001428

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001503

and and uh

01:18:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001504

maybe data also

01:18:28Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001505

on how the interventions

01:18:30Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001506

over time

01:18:31Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001507

uh

01:18:32Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001508

have increased their incomes

01:18:33Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001509

yeah

01:18:34Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001510

uh

01:18:35Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001511

i think that's also important

01:18:36Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001512

the

01:18:37Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001513

in all other

01:18:39Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001514

jurists

01:18:40Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001515

all other

01:18:41Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001516

asean countries

01:18:42Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001517

they're very particular about

01:18:44Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001518

incomes as a benchmark for

01:18:46Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001519

any of the interventions

01:18:47Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001520

because what's the point of uh

01:18:50Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001521

all the interventions

01:18:52Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001522

billions are being spent

01:18:53Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001523

but the farmers

01:18:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001524

don't benefit

01:18:55Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001525

or

01:18:56Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001526

negligible

01:18:57Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001527

or very

01:18:58Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001528

very small

01:18:59Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001529

or marginal

01:19:00Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001530

marginal

01:19:01Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001531

increase in incomes

01:19:02Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001532

so

01:19:03Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001533

uh

01:19:04Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001534

in fact

01:19:05Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001535

i remember

01:19:06Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001536

when i was in china

01:19:07Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001537

about

01:19:08Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001538

10 years ago

01:19:09Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001539

nung hindi pa magulo

01:19:10Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001540

i was

01:19:11Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001541

ngayon

01:19:12Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001542

hindi na ako

01:19:13Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001543

pwedeng pumunta nun

01:19:18Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001546

Baka

01:19:19Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001547

papabalikin

01:19:20Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001548

tayo sa airport

01:19:21Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001549

pa lang,

01:19:22Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001550

papabalikin na tayo.

01:19:23Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001551

But

01:19:24Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001552

they

01:19:25Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001553

were very clear

01:19:26Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001554

in their presentation.

01:19:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001555

They said in

01:19:28Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001556

1979,

01:19:29Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001557

the average

01:19:30Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001558

income of the farmer

01:19:31Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001559

was about 150

01:19:32Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001560

yuan.

01:19:33Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001561

And

01:19:34Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001562

then

01:19:35Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001563

about in

01:19:36Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001564

2012

01:19:37Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001565

2013, they

01:19:38Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001566

were saying it's about

01:19:39Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001567

6,000 yuan

01:19:40Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001568

from

01:19:41Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001569

agri. So

01:19:42Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001570

there you

01:19:43Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001571

see they're very

01:19:44Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001572

particular about

01:19:46Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001573

income as benchmark.

01:19:47Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001574

And

01:19:48Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001575

I told

01:19:49Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001576

this to the NIA earlier

01:19:51Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001577

and I will

01:19:52Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001578

share it with the DAR.

01:19:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001579

Sabi ko, kailangan nating alagaan yung ating mga farmers

01:19:58Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001580

kasi pag wala nang nagpa-farming, wala nang DA, wala nang DAR,

01:20:04Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001581

wala na tayong trabaho lahat.

01:20:06Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001582

The reason why we're all working here or we have this job

01:20:10Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001583

and I'm chairman of the...

01:20:11Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001584

Kung wala nang agriculture sector, wala na rin akong chairmanship.

01:20:15Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001585

Lalo kayo, wala na kayong trabaho.

01:20:17Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001586

So, napakahalaga na minomonitor natin yung success

01:20:23Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001587

ng ating interventions by way of keeping them from farming.

01:20:28Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001588

You know, people are always saying,

01:20:29Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001589

we have to make farming sexy because the new generation

01:20:37Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001590

don't want to go into farming anymore.

01:20:40Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001591

But for me, the only way to make farming sexy is to make it profitable

01:20:45Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001592

or you get...

01:20:47Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001593

That's how it works.

01:20:50Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001594

And that's why from farm subsistence farming,

01:20:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001595

we move to make it farm enterprise entrepreneurship.

01:21:02Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001596

Ako nga sa farm ko, hindi ako ang tawag ko sa sarili ko,

01:21:08Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001597

I am the farmer CEO.

01:21:10Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001598

Kasi that's how you want to bring it to the level of

01:21:16Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001599

high income.

01:21:17Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001600

High value production, value adding, product development,

01:21:25Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001601

agritourism, and the like.

01:21:28Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001602

Para tuloy-tuloy.

01:21:30Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001603

Anyway, so if you can give us...

01:21:34Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001604

For the support services.

01:21:38Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001605

We're also looking at the challenge of...

01:21:42Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001606

Of course, this is also for the DA.

01:21:47Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001607

Access to credit.

01:21:49Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001608

We'd also like to see how our communities are benefiting.

01:21:55Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001609

Because right now, even the government allocated budgetary support

01:22:00Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001610

na binigay na, nilaan na para sa crop insurance,

01:22:06Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001611

nilaan na para sa credit sa mga bangko,

01:22:10Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001612

eh, ang kanilang rates of releases to fund 3%,

01:22:17Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001613

2% of their portfolio.

01:22:23Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001614

Di ba? Wala, wala.

01:22:25Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001615

Wala. Di ba? Halos wala.

01:22:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001616

Tapos, so we'd like to see what are the lessons that the agrarian reform communities,

01:22:34Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001617

di ba? What lessons can we, in terms of successes,

01:22:38Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001618

dito sa access to credit.

01:22:39Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001619

Kasi pagka may credit yung farmer and good rates,

01:22:43Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001620

di ba? Then he can hire more laborers.

01:22:45Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001621

Then he can...

01:22:47Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001622

Expand his hectarage.

01:22:49Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001623

Di ba?

01:22:50Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001624

And then he can increase, you know,

01:22:55Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001625

he can fund facilities, post-harvest, etc.

01:22:59Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001626

Pero wala lahat eh.

01:23:01Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001627

And of course, we all know,

01:23:02Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001628

and that's why the Senate Bill 1991 ba?

01:23:08Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001629

Yung co-ops.

01:23:11Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001630

Yung agriculture co-ops is necessary

01:23:14Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001631

because if they're organized and they're capacitated,

01:23:17Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001632

then they become creditworthy,

01:23:19Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001633

then they know,

01:23:21Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001634

then the banks will say,

01:23:22Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001635

since you have economies of scale,

01:23:24Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001636

you have, you know,

01:23:26Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001637

we can lend to you,

01:23:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001638

we can deal with you,

01:23:28Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001639

we can provide the credit,

01:23:30Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001640

even insurance,

01:23:31Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001641

bulk insurance,

01:23:33Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001642

kasi mas marami ang organized na makikinabang,

01:23:36Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001643

they can buy in bulk, etc.

01:23:38Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001644

So maybe that too,

01:23:39Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001645

if we can get success stories.

01:23:43Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001646

Because I intend to sit down with,

01:23:45Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001647

in the budget of the DOF,

01:23:47Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001648

and ask the banks,

01:23:51Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001649

land bank in particular.

01:23:53Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001650

Now, if you can give me questions for the land bank,

01:23:56Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001651

so that we can put them to task,

01:24:00Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001652

di ba?

01:24:00Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001653

Please give them to me because

01:24:01Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001654

ang kupad minsan eh.

01:24:03Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001655

Your honors,

01:24:05Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001656

if I may interrupt.

01:24:08Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001657

In fact, there are seven awardees in land bank,

01:24:12Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001658

all agrarian reform beneficiaries.

01:24:15Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001659

And since they are awardees,

01:24:17Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001660

they,

01:24:17Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001661

they are,

01:24:18Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001662

these are good payers and that they pay on time.

01:24:26Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001663

At saka yung leadership ng magaganda ng cooperatives nila.

01:24:36Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001664

Yes, yes.

01:24:37Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001665

We'd like to get those success stories, no?

01:24:44Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001666

Mr. Chairman,

01:24:46Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001667

yung pag,

01:24:47Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001668

sinasabi mong good practices,

01:24:49Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001669

best practices,

01:24:51Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001670

tsaka the best stories are with the agrarian reform communities,

01:24:53Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001671

ARCs and ARBs,

01:24:55Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001672

the beneficiaries.

01:24:56Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001673

Even when I was chairman of the committee on cooperatives,

01:24:59Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001674

we, I judged,

01:25:01Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001675

maybe ten times I judged Gawad Pitak every year.

01:25:04Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001676

Every year,

01:25:05Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001677

cooperatives po siya na agrarian reform beneficiaries.

01:25:08Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001678

Best practices.

01:25:09Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001679

Pag sinundan natin yan sa buong Pilipinas,

01:25:12Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001680

naka walang mahirap na magsasaka,

01:25:14Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001681

tsaka walang mahirap na,

01:25:15Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001682

walang mahirap na,

01:25:16Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001683

rural areas.

01:25:18Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001684

Because of their,

01:25:19Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001685

they could,

01:25:20Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001686

you should actually publish a book.

01:25:22Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001687

I think you should publish a,

01:25:23Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001688

a food for thought.

01:25:25Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001689

Secretary, you have two years to go.

01:25:27Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001690

We're doing it now.

01:25:28Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001691

Oh, there you go.

01:25:29Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001692

You see?

01:25:30Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001693

You're very good.

01:25:30Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001694

So,

01:25:31Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001695

we have some,

01:25:32Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001696

So we can learn.

01:25:33Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001697

We can learn.

01:25:33Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001698

We have some writers who are now collecting

01:25:36Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001699

the data.

01:25:37Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001700

That's a great idea.

01:25:37Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001701

But we're just moving quietly.

01:25:39Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001702

Oh, maganda kasi.

01:25:40Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-001703

About a book on the success stories.

01:25:42Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001704

Yes, that will be best practices.

01:25:45Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001705

Actually, I, I, I will confirm,

01:25:46Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001706

I will confirm that,

01:25:47Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001707

that the,

01:25:48Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001708

our majority leader has consistently championed

01:25:51Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001709

the cause of cooperatives in the country.

01:25:56Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001710

Although the data shows that,

01:25:59Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001711

at least this is a two,

01:26:00Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001712

two, three year data.

01:26:01Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001713

I don't know the latest, no?

01:26:03Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001714

Now, for every 10 coops that are,

01:26:07Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001715

that are,

01:26:08Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001716

you know, functioning,

01:26:09Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001717

only one out of every 10 are actually viable.

01:26:14Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001718

The rest are,

01:26:16Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001719

isang kahig, isang tuka.

01:26:18Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001720

So,

01:26:19Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001721

so yes, we have these success stories,

01:26:21Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001722

but the challenge really is,

01:26:24Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001723

how do we,

01:26:25Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001724

you know,

01:26:26Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001725

make it the rule rather than the exception?

01:26:30Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001726

Nakakalungkot dahil,

01:26:32Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001727

napag-iwanan na talaga tayo ng ibang bansa,

01:26:35Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001728

you know, in terms of the productivity of the farmers.

01:26:38Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001729

Sabi ko nga,

01:26:40Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001730

in 2015,

01:26:41Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001731

when I was food security secretary under Pinoy,

01:26:44Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001732

our ex,

01:26:45Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001733

our agriculture imports was $10 billion.

01:26:50Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001734

Today, it's $21 billion.

01:26:53Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001735

So, after 10 years,

01:26:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001736

we doubled our imports.

01:26:57Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001737

We used to be a net importer of about $3 billion.

01:27:02Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001738

Now, we're a net importer of about 15, 14 billion.

01:27:09Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001739

So, and then next year,

01:27:12Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001740

next year is the 30th year of the,

01:27:15Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001741

the AFMA of 1997.

01:27:21Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001742

The Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act of 1997

01:27:25Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001743

will be 30 years next year.

01:27:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001744

So, how far have we gone after 30 years?

01:27:31Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001745

Parang pabaliktad, no?

01:27:33Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001746

And that's why,

01:27:35Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001747

again,

01:27:36Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001748

the lessons of the agrarian reform communities

01:27:39Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001749

will really be the basis for us to how to cascade it.

01:27:43Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001750

Diba?

01:27:45Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001751

Napakahalaga. And we're doing

01:27:47Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001752

the structural reform, precisely

01:27:49Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001753

why we are renationalizing

01:27:51Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001754

your lesson.

01:27:53Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001755

You just said it earlier, Sec.

01:27:55Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001756

The reason why you were effective in delivering

01:27:57Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001757

was because you had boots on the ground.

01:28:00Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001758

The DA doesn't have

01:28:01Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001759

boots on the ground, and they need it.

01:28:04Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001760

Exactly. So,

01:28:05Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001761

the Extension Services

01:28:07Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001762

Bureau, which we are now,

01:28:09Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001763

we have passed on third reading,

01:28:11Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001764

will be their boots on the ground.

01:28:12Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001765

And then the Agriculture

01:28:14Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001766

and Fisheries

01:28:16Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001767

Co-ops, under

01:28:18Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001768

the Bureau of Co-ops,

01:28:20Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001769

Bureau of Agri-Co-ops, under the

01:28:22Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001770

DA, will handle the capacity

01:28:24Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001771

building. Let the CDA

01:28:26Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001772

handle regulation,

01:28:28Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001773

registration regulation.

01:28:31Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001774

But the

01:28:32Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001775

Bureau of Agriculture Co-ops

01:28:34Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001776

will handle the capacity building

01:28:36Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001777

on the ground,

01:28:38Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001778

together with your Extension workers.

01:28:40Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001779

So, it's a twin measure

01:28:42Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001780

that will provide boots on the ground

01:28:44Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001781

for our agri-department

01:28:46Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001782

so that we can

01:28:48Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001783

finally provide sustained

01:28:50Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001784

grassroots

01:28:52Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001785

support

01:28:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001786

for our farmers and fisher folk.

01:28:57Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001787

And that

01:28:58Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001788

will address productivity,

01:29:01Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001789

organization, economies

01:29:02Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001790

of scale, etc.

01:29:05Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001791

So,

01:29:07Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001792

yun.

01:29:07Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001793

Yes?

01:29:10Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-001794

Go ahead, sir.

01:29:11Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001795

Manifestation.

01:29:12Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001796

I just have to

01:29:13Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001797

I just have to

01:29:15Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001798

break first. I have to go to another

01:29:18Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001799

committee hearing.

01:29:20Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001800

But I'm just here to

01:29:21Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001801

manifest my continuing

01:29:23Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001802

support. Kung sa impeachment,

01:29:26Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

asr-001803

continuing objection.

01:29:29Source

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" F. Zubiri

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001909

ng 6657

01:32:42Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

On the contrary,

01:32:48Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001913

Honorable Chair,

01:32:49Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

that particular provisions

01:32:51Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

leaves no any discretion

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

covering private agricultural lands.

01:32:59Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001920

This comes to mind

01:33:01Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001921

the Honorable Chair,

01:33:02Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001922

the Latin maxim,

01:33:04Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001923

The very provision

01:33:11Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001924

of that section

01:33:12Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001925

is very clear.

01:33:14Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001926

There must be no interpretation

01:33:16Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001927

that is opposed

01:33:17Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001928

to that particular provision.

01:33:19Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001929

Now,

01:33:20Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001930

correlative to that particular provision,

01:33:22Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001931

Honorable Chair,

01:33:24Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001932

naapiktuhan po yung Section 6

01:33:26Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001933

ng retention limit

01:33:29Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001934

na nagli-limit lang

01:33:31Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001935

sa isang landowner.

01:33:33Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001936

So, yung retention limit

01:33:36Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001937

na yun na 5 hectares

01:33:38Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001938

na nasasaad po sa Section 6

01:33:40Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

01:33:45Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

Sa badaling sabi,

01:33:48Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-001943

12 years ago pa ho ito,

01:33:49Source

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit

asr-002295

the project cost is 28,000.

01:44:58Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002296

If you want a more second.

01:44:59Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

01:45:00Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002299

Okay.

01:45:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002300

So, at least maganda ito sa French government, ano?

01:45:21Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002301

Yeah, the French government, they have offered to us both funders, two funders, the French Treasury and the AFD.

01:45:29Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002302

So, both bilateral group.

01:45:34Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002303

How many bridges ang ano nito, target na ito?

01:45:38Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002304

There's a total of 350 bridges all over the country.

01:45:43Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002305

We've submitted, actually, we submitted almost a thousand.

01:45:47Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002306

And when we defended this to NEDA, it went down to 700 and later on to 350 because they went over it.

01:45:55Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002307

And it requires the EIRR, as we call it, Economic Internal.

01:45:59Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002308

Rate of Return, that all bridges should be validated, checked, whether the hectarage of that area will suit the purpose of building something to connect the other side

01:46:10Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002309

and will serve the purpose of giving all the farmers a chance to shorten their trip, to carry their load, etc., etc.

01:46:18Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002310

And how many farmers are there in that particular area?

01:46:21Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002311

So, maraming natanggal, yung mga ibang Congress pa nga, nagtatanong, bakit sa amin, meron doon kaming request, bakit wala?

01:46:28Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002312

So, but...

01:46:29Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002313

NEDA or DEPDev just scratched them out because they did not reach the target of their EIRR formula.

01:46:37Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002314

Who decides which community gets a bridge?

01:46:42Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002315

Basically, we've submitted almost a good number of ARC areas.

01:46:47Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002316

And NEDA themselves approved the areas for those areas that has been approved.

01:46:53Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002317

And the areas are actually ARC areas?

01:46:56Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002318

ARC areas with ARBOs.

01:46:59Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002319

AR, Agrarian Reform Beneficiary.

01:47:01Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002320

They have to be ARC areas.

01:47:03Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002321

You cannot qualify if you're not Agrarian Reform Community areas.

01:47:07Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002322

Can we see the list?

01:47:10Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002323

01:47:14Source

01:47:19Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

01:47:26Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002328

And as soon as I get the picture out of it, they go to...

01:47:29Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002329

To all other areas and negotiate and so on and so on and so forth.

01:47:32Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002330

It's a lot of foolishness.

01:47:33Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002331

Actually, I've been relaying this to the Secretary.

01:47:35Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002332

That gives us a headache.

01:47:40Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002333

We already alerted the NBI, Your Honor.

01:47:44Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002342

Just a few more questions.

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002343

For example, what is a typical land area of a community?

asr-002350

100 to 200 hectares or probably even more.

01:48:34Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002352

was a part of the National Agrarian Reform area.

01:48:59Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002353

National Agrarian Reform Resettlement Area, NARA.

01:49:04Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002354

In Palawan, it is now a municipality, Your Honor.

01:49:11Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002355

Yes, yes.

01:49:13Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002356

That's an Agrarian Reform Community, Your Honor.

01:49:16Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002357

And also, some of the barangays now, like the Hacienda Liet in Santa Barbara,

01:49:29Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002358

it's now a barangay, Your Honor.

01:49:32Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002359

That's how big the communities are.

01:49:36Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002360

I raise that question because, well, you know, there are debates about the need to allow

01:49:45Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002361

large land holdings, private sector to invest, etc.

01:49:52Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002362

Yes and no.

01:49:53Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002363

Because, you know, if you give the Agrarian Reform Communities the interventions necessary,

01:49:59Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002364

for them to have post-harvest facilities, to have farm-to-market roads, you cluster

01:50:05Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002365

them and make sure, that's where you, in other words, government intervention to build capacity

01:50:14Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002366

of your Agrarian Reform Communities.

01:50:16Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002367

I agree with you, Your Honor.

01:50:18Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002368

Diba?

01:50:18Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002369

It is yes and no.

01:50:20Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002370

Diba?

01:50:20Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002371

Yeah.

01:50:20Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002372

Kasi, you know, I found out in Thailand, the average rubber plantation, rubber plantation,

01:50:29Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002373

or farmer, is less than one hectare.

01:50:32Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002374

Yung rubber plantation, but they're consolidated.

01:50:38Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002375

They're clustered.

01:50:41Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002376

And they're the number one producer of natural rubber in the entire planet.

01:50:47Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002377

Pero less than one hectare yung lupa ng farmer.

01:50:52Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002378

Which is, therefore, similar to us.

01:50:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002379

Now, today, I think the average farm size is about 9,000 square meters.

01:50:58Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002380

Kasi paliit na.

01:50:59Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002381

So, it isn't automatic that if you can consolidate the entire land and put it under private

01:51:07Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002382

sector, that that's the way to go.

01:51:09Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002383

Yes, maybe.

01:51:10Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002384

Some, Your Honor.

01:51:11Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002385

Diba?

01:51:12Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002386

Like, let me cite, Your Honor, the situation of, I will not mention the place, Your Honor.

01:51:21Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002387

We, it is a large bus track of land, and supposedly for sugar.

01:51:27Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002388

Okay.

01:51:29Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002389

However, the problem, Your Honor, is that, you know, we made a research, Your Honor,

01:51:36Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002390

and the opinion of many owners of sugar milling plants, no, would require, they say, for a sugar mill to be viable,

01:51:54Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002391

would require 50,000 hectares

01:51:58Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002392

of sugarcane-planted land.

01:52:03Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002397

Ah

01:52:04Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002398

I say yes and no, because in some instances, like, for example, in Tarlac, no, it's not

01:52:12Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002399

owned by a single corporation or any entity, but they are successful, and the sugar cane,

01:52:25Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002400

the sugar cane stocks are,

01:52:29Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002401

of correct

01:52:30Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002402

size

01:52:33Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002403

because

01:52:35Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002404

the

01:52:36Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002405

tenants or the

01:52:38Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002406

land agrarian reform beneficiaries

01:52:41Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002407

are

01:52:43Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002408

following strictly

01:52:44Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002409

the standards set

01:52:46Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002410

by the owner

01:52:48Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002411

of the sugar

01:52:50Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002412

milling plant.

01:52:53Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002413

But in one

01:52:55Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002414

place, another place, it's

01:52:56Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002415

the opposite.

01:52:59Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002416

Matitigas yung ulo

01:53:00Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002417

ng mga nandun.

01:53:02Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002418

Hindi nakikinig. Tapos minsan,

01:53:04Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002419

kung san-san pa bebenta yung

01:53:06Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002420

ano, so

01:53:07Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002421

ganyan lang kalaki yung

01:53:10Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002422

sugar nila.

01:53:12Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002423

Wala. Hindi. Kumita,

01:53:14Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002424

nagsara yung planta.

01:53:16Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002425

So, case-to-case basis din

01:53:18Source

DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III

asr-002426

yan Your Honor

01:53:19Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002426-split-2

That's right.

01:53:19Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002427

But hopefully, with a stronger presence

01:53:22Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002428

with boots on the ground,

01:53:24Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002429

you get to cluster them effectively.

01:53:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002430

And then you get the economies

01:53:28Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002431

of scale. And then you get...

01:53:30Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002432

Because in Taiwan, it's like that. I was saying

01:53:32Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002433

five... Mr. Chairman,

01:53:35Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002434

they have about

01:53:36Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002435

580,000

01:53:37Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002436

farmers in Taiwan.

01:53:40Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002437

But the ratio of their extension

01:53:42Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002438

workers to every farmer is

01:53:44Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002439

one extension worker

01:53:46Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002440

to 18 farmers.

01:53:50Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002441

Yes.

01:53:50Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002442

One extension worker, 18.

01:53:52Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002443

So, nakatutok talaga sa baba.

01:53:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002444

And they're organized into

01:53:56Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002445

federations.

01:53:58Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002446

They say there are

01:54:00Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002447

of the 580,000

01:54:02Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002448

farmers, there is about

01:54:04Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002449

308 farmer associations.

01:54:07Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002450

So, they're really

01:54:08Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002451

organized. And the associations,

01:54:11Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002452

the members of the associations

01:54:12Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002453

are co-ops.

01:54:16Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002454

So, talagang

01:54:16Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002455

you have an organized

01:54:18Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002456

network of farmers.

01:54:21Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002457

So, they do

01:54:22Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002458

bulk buying for insurance.

01:54:24Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002459

They do bulk buying for fertilizer.

01:54:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002460

They do

01:54:28Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002461

drop yung price.

01:54:30Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002462

Plus, government,

01:54:32Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002463

half of their infrastructure

01:54:34Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002464

is government

01:54:36Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002465

funded. And the other half

01:54:39Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002466

is

01:54:40Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002467

the premiums of the

01:54:42Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002468

credit, the loans for the other

01:54:44Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002469

half of their requirements

01:54:46Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002470

is funded by

01:54:48Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002471

the state.

01:54:50Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002472

So, you know, it's food.

01:54:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002473

Di ba?

01:54:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002474

They have to keep

01:54:55Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002475

planting.

01:54:58Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002476

They have to keep producing the food

01:55:00Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002477

that we will be eating.

01:55:02Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002478

So, you put all the resources

01:55:04Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002479

around them so that they keep planting

01:55:06Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002480

and so that the supply of food

01:55:08Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002481

harvests are bountiful,

01:55:10Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002482

production is high.

01:55:12Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002483

And sabi ko nga, pagbataas

01:55:14Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002484

ang output,

01:55:17Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002485

babagsak na ang presyo ng

01:55:18Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002486

gulay, karne,

01:55:21Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002487

manok. Kasi maganda

01:55:22Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002488

ng output eh.

01:55:24Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002489

Marami ng output,

01:55:26Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002490

marami ng supply, bagsak ang presyo.

01:55:28Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002491

Kaya naman

01:55:30Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002492

220 pesos

01:55:33Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002493

ang isang kilo

01:55:34Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002494

ng baboy sa bangko.

01:55:38Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002495

230?

01:55:41Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002496

180 pesos

01:55:43Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002497

ang isang kilo

01:55:44Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002498

ng swahe?

01:55:46Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002499

Dito 700 eh.

01:55:49Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002500

Tapos yung

01:55:50Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002501

karneng baboy, 460.

01:55:53Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002502

Their food,

01:55:54Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002503

we're spending 2 to 3 times

01:55:56Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002504

more per kilo than

01:55:58Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002505

Thailand or Vietnam is spending.

01:56:01Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002506

Can you imagine if

01:56:02Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002507

we reverse that?

01:56:05Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002508

And of course,

01:56:06Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002509

the supply chain

01:56:07Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002510

and all that.

01:56:09Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002511

But anyway, the point being,

01:56:12Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002512

we really have to organize our farmers.

01:56:14Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002513

And we really have, and I think

01:56:16Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002514

we start with your agrarian reform

01:56:18Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002515

communities.

01:56:20Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002516

200 hectares.

01:56:22Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002517

Yung Pecuaria is how many?

01:56:23Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002518

600 ba?

01:56:25Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002519

Sa Bula?

01:56:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002520

Camarines Sur?

01:56:28Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002521

Di ba? Parang 600

01:56:31Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002522

hectares ba yung sa kanila?

01:56:34Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002523

But anyway,

01:56:35Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002524

so sige, I have, actually,

01:56:37Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002525

if you can also give us

01:56:39Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002526

the data on your

01:56:41Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002527

agrarian reform

01:56:42Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002528

communities, ilang hectare yan,

01:56:45Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002529

saan yan? Just for us to

01:56:46Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002530

have a better idea.

01:56:49Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002531

Yes sir, go ahead.

01:56:50Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002532

Mr. Chairman, Senator, actually we have,

01:56:53Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002533

we're doing something for research

01:56:55Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002534

for purposes of, you know,

01:56:56Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002535

this project we call IPARC.

01:56:58Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002536

Which is later going to be

01:57:00Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002537

with World Bank.

01:57:02Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002538

We've clustered all over the country,

01:57:04Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002539

all areas for agrarian reform communities.

01:57:07Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002540

And it's already in place,

01:57:09Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002541

actually. We're preparing it to

01:57:10Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002542

submit it sa

01:57:13Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002543

technical board ng

01:57:14Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002544

DepDev. We can show it to you

01:57:16Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002545

because there's already clustering in all areas.

01:57:19Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002546

2,000 hectares, 1,000 hectares,

01:57:21Source

DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares

asr-002547

5,000 hectares.

01:57:22Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002548

Actually, if we organize this and put it

01:57:25Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan

asr-002549

all together, walang dapat farmer

01:57:27Source

Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan
