Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000076Magandang hapon pumuli sa ating lahat.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000077I'd like to thank the Secretary and all of the attached agency heads,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000078mga regional directors at the leadership ng DOST.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000079Maraming maraming salamat po sa inyong pagpunta.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000080So let me begin my statement by quoting Secretary Solidum.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000081Sabi niya, dapat ramdam ang agham.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000082Ang agham, dapat ramdam.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000083And I think that is the best guide for everyone in the agency and for this budget process.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000084Na lahat po ng ginagawa po natin, dapat ramdam ng ating mga kababayan.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000085Whether immediately naramdaman or eventually maramdaman because we also do research.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000086Alam po natin na ang tamang paggamit ng aghama teknolohiya,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000087sa tamang paggamit ng aghama teknolohiya,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000088marami pong magagandang bagay ang pwedeng mangyari.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000089Pwede pong mapataas ang ani ng magsasaka at manging isda.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000090Pwedeng mapahaba ang shelf life ng pagkain.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000091Pwedeng mabawasan ang nasasayang na produkto.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000092Pwedeng mapababa ang gasto sa produksyon, sa enerhiya, sa transportasyon at distribusyon.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000093Matutulungan din ang malilihit na negosyo na gumamit ang teknolohiya
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000094upang makalikha ng dekalidad,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000095ngunit mas murang pagkain, gamot at iba pang pangunahing bilihit.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000096Ang DOST po, ramdam na ramdam rin sa pagprotekta ng ating komunidad
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000097laban sa baha, bagyo, matinding init, lindol, paguho ng lupa at iba pang mga sakuna.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000098Sa pamamagitan ng accurate na weather forecasting, hazard mapping, early warning systems,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000099flood monitoring and climate resilient technologies,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000100mas maagang nakapaghahanda ang mga lokal na pamahalaan at mga mamamayan.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000101Mas maraming buhay ang naliligtas at
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000102inaasahan na mas kaunting tahanan,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000103pananim, negosyo at imprastraktura ang masisira.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000104Ito po yung malinaw na layunin ng ating budget,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000105gawing kapakikipakinabang ang agham sa pang araw-araw na buhay ng Pilipino.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000106Ang tagumpay ng DOST hindi lamang nasusukat sa dami ng pag-aaral, patent, inventions or innovation,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000107dapat naramdaman na nito ng ating mga kababayan.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000108Sa kanilang pang araw-araw na buhay, sa palengke, sa paaralan,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000109sa kanilang...
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000110kung saan sila nagtatrabaho at kung saan pa man.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000111Alam po natin na sa tamang paggamit ng aghama teknolohiya,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000112mas magandang buhay ang maaari nating maipigay sa ating mga kababayan.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000113Kaya ngayon po, sa pagtutok natin sa budget ng DOST,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000114sisiguraduhin po natin na ang bawat pisong inilaan sa aghama teknolohiya
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000115ay humahantong sa mga gandang bagay para sa ating mga kababayan.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000116Kurang bilihin, mas ligtas at handang mga pamayanan,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000117mas matatag na kabuhayan at mas maginhawang buhay para sa sambayan ng Pilipino.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000118Uglitin ko po, sabi nga po ni Secretary Solidum, dapat ramdam ang aghama.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000119Alright, with that Secretary, you have the floor.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000120Will you be presenting everybody's budget? Ikaw na po lahat.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000121Yes, Your Honor.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000122Essentially, just to make it faster,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000123we recorded the presentation just to provide you a glimpse of all our programs.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000124So if I may, Mr. Senator,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000125we are presenting many of the things we have done and our plans
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000126to justify the proposed budget,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000127which is, as DBM recommended, would be around 30.87 billion pesos.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000128Do you have the smallest budget among all the agencies?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000129Hindi naman ata.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000130DBM?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000131Hindi naman ata.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000132DTI?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000133Hindi naman ata ba? Anong rank po ng DOST?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000134Who is our DBM representative?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000135Who is the DBM representative?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000136Director La Bastilla.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000137Director La Bastilla.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000138Sige po, Director.
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-000139Ganda ang hapon po, Your Honor.
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-000140We will be checking po yung sa DTI and other agencies kasi we're handling po yung sa DOST.
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-000141Definitely though, it is one of the lowest.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000142Right?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000143And that's something we want to move up in the future.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000144So, Secretary, when we worked on the education budget last year,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000145we were able to achieve the target of at least 4% of GDP.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000146I'm sure science and technology research also has a prescribed 1%.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000147Ang layo natin sa 1%.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000148We're at 0.3.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000149So maybe progressively over the years,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000150we can try to find ways to augment.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000151So pagkatapos po ng presentation ninyo,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000152I'll be having some questions,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000153kung meron man.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000154And then later, you can also talk about
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000155if there were priorities that we could,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000156for augmentation,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000157could also mention that, Secretary.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000158Kung may top two or three items for augmentation,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000159feel free to talk about it.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000160Hindi ko po pinapangako na matutupad yan,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000161pero at least on the record,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000162alam po natin yung mga pangunahing target ninyo after the NEP.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000163We all know that after the NEP,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000164meron pa namang space sana to be able to augment.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000165So we can also talk about that later on.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000166Sige po, you have the floor.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000167Thank you, Your Honor.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000168So may I request that the recorded presentation be shown
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000169so that we can be very brief.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000170And later on, we'll add on to some of the points.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000171Thank you.

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000875billion uh of course quite
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000876still quite small compared to that and tpwh and all the big agencies um uh chairperson would you
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000877have any you want to start with the questions
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000877-split-2ah thank you Mr. Chair um afternoon to the
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000878and backups
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000879Secretary natin, [unclear], with all the officials. Anyway, of course I am here
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000880as chairman of the Committee on Finance
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000881to monitor also, and of course I am more concerned
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000882of course
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000883with the budget.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000884Of course, with the budget data, I'll just ask a very few questions, Mr. Chair.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000885Siguro, just bago tayo munta ro sa budget itself.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000886Doon sa ano, of course, one of the hottest issues now is the Pax Silica Initiative.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000887As the primary government agency in the Philippines,
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000888tasked with providing central direction, leadership, and coordination of all scientific and technological efforts in the country.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000889What is the official position of DOST?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000890The principle of DOST for any development is that it must be sustainable.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000891So we have to make sure that the development plans are aligned to what we want to create more jobs and opportunities.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000892While our safeguards should be focused on the environmental and other socioeconomic concerns that we have.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000893Basically,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000894based on what I have heard from the direct explanation of the program,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000895the Pax Silica is a global program.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000896But essentially, the component in the Philippines is a very small part of it.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000897Where the real intent of the component in Clark is to have an advanced manufacturing hub
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000898for accessories that will be related.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000899In the future,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000900to chips for other accessories that will be used for data centers or AI hubs.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000901But those will not be in the Clark area.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000902Second, on the minerals processing, it is not certain yet as this will be negotiated.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000903As to what minerals, the state of minerals, the critical minerals that they will use.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000904Because for sure, one should not mine and transport it.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000905But one should not mine and transport it to the area and process it economically.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000906And therefore, those still have to be discussed.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000907So we have to make sure that the development in the area will really promote the economy of the country
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000908while making sure that the environmental concerns and the social concerns within the area will be addressed.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000909Thank you.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000910With the indulgence of Chairperson JV, we'd like to recognize Senator Joel Villanueva.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-000911Good afternoon.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000912Hopefully, I'd just like to ask.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000913Also, if you are based on the initial assessment with the creation of this venture,
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000914the Pax Silica, outweigh the severe environmental risk,
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000915mayroon ba ako yung study na rin?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000916Well, essentially, if they will be operating an industrial hub,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000917we have many industrial hubs in the Philippines like in Cavite, Depeza.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000918So we are very, very strict on our environmental laws.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000919And this must be, of course, be led by the DNR.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000920So marami na po tayong experience.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000921And pagdating sa environmental law, dapat very strict.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000922At wala namang naging issue out of the PESA zones that we have.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000923Okay, thank you.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000924Doon lang po sa ano.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000925August this year, DBM released 1 billion for continued implementation expansion
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000926of the nationwide operation assessment of hazards or Project NOAA.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000927According to the UP Resilience Institute, it's a good start, but I think it's not,
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000928we feel it's not enough.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000929May we know if Project NOAA has,
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000930budget allocation under your department or any of your attached agency
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000931to complement the proposed budget, if any, under the UP system?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000932NOAA is operated by the University of the Philippines.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000933And we have other disaster and climate-related programs
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000934that would complement the provision of information and knowledge
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000935to various stakeholders, including government agencies, industries,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000936and more importantly, communities.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000937So we have developed...
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000938We have developed many programs and web applications
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000939and even phone applications that would enable people to have access to data
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000940from the different mandated organizations po.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000941And just to separate,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000942PHIVOX would essentially be the one just providing all the geologic information.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000943Wala pong counterpart dyan.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000944Sila po talaga yung mandated.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000945Okay, thank you, Secretary.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000946I'll just have three...
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000947main issues for budget utilization.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000948Of course, that's the reason I'm here.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000949The DOSD is requesting for a 30.47 billion new appropriations
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000950for fiscal year 2027.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000951Yet, records show that your unused appropriations
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000952surged by nearly 80% to 2.85 billion in 2025.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000953Given by severe disbursement challenges in frontline agents like PAGASA and PNRI,
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000954why is there...
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000955a request of a much bigger funding compared to 2025
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000956kung hindi naman nare-resolve yung unused appropriations?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000957Of course, different agencies would have specific needs.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000958And if the agency is cited like PHIVOX and PNRI,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000959these are usually capital outlays that sometimes would have procurement delays
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000960because some of the equipment are not off the shelf.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000961So you have to wait a little bit sometimes around two years.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000962So pagdating po naman sa ibang ahensya,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000963we really need the budget because based on our experience,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000964we can create more impact that would translate to more livelihood,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000965more efficient processes.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000966And so yung pong minsan utilization issue is more on the capital outlay.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000967In 2025, the DOSD accumulated 2.85 billion in unused appropriations
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000968up from 1.57 billion.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000969In 2024, PAGASA alone accounted for 1.45 billion.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-0009701.2 billion.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000971And the OSEC left 693.2 million unspent.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000972My question is,
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000973Sir Chair, ano-ano ang mga proyekto o programa na nagkaroon ng mapagsubok?
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000974O ba't ganito kalaki na umabot yung unused appropriations natin?
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000975At bakano ang nabalik sa National Treasury?
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000976Pasensya na, we have to ask now because of our very, very limited fiscal space,
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000977we have to make sure that all our appropriations are well spent.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000978May, Mr. Chair, may I ask the Administrator of PAGASA to respond to the specific question on PAGASA?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000979Thank you.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-000980Yes, please proceed.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-000981Thank you, Your Honor.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-000982Thank you, Mr. Secretary, for this opportunity.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-000983As for the 2025 budget, the unutilized fund,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-000984actually, part of that were given additional budget out of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council Fund,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-000985supposedly to purchase three doppler radars.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-000986But at the moment, the procurement process is ongoing.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-000987In fact, most of the equipment are already awarded.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-000988And we're confident before the year ends, this will be utilized or obligated.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-000989Thank you, Chair.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000990So, on target, end of the year, it will be fully utilized.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000991Yung mga equipment.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-000992Natin, it's already operational.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-000993Yes, yes.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-000994Yes, sir.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000995So, for sometimes the OSEC money will be...
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000996a continuing allocation for the following year
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000997because sometimes we have challenges on the requirement
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000998for the implementing organizations to really submit their liquidation
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-000999for many of their previous proposals.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001000So we have to make sure that they observe that.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001001And so sometimes we actually use it the following year,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001002but trust assured, Mr. Chair, that these are fully utilized
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001003by providing additional funding for new proposals.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001004Our application for Granada 8 is 99% for the continuing.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001005Just to clarify, the OSTs overall disbursement rate slipped
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001006from 83.8% in 2024 to 79.8% in 2025.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001007Pag-assess disbursement rate plunged to 47.9%,
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001008down from 71.1% in 2020.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001009And PNRI disbursed only 34.4%.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001010May I ask the two agencies to respond?
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001011First, Pag-asa and then PNRI.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001012Essentially, it's related to the capital outlay.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001013Yes, please. Pag-asa muna and then PNRI.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001014What measures, interventions?
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001015Are being, will be done, no?
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001016Yes, thank you.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001017Once again, Your Honor and the Secretary.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001018Interventions include fast tracking the procurement process.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001019Of course, the equipment involved is sophisticated
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001020and is manufactured overseas.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001021It takes time before, of course, it is to be installed.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001022But the Vision Awards Committee,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001023we have already done the fast tracking.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001024And at the moment, in fact, as I've mentioned,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001025we have already secured the awarded contracts.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001026And of course, the remaining components will be closely monitored
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001027until, since 2025, this 2025 budget,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001028and this is continuing until December this year,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001029we're confident it will be utilized.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001030Thank you, Your Honor.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001031Thank you.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001032Sa PNRI po.
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001033Good afternoon, Chairs, Your Honorable Chairs.
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001034For the justification for the low utilization,
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001035it's because of the nuclear medicine project.
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001036The reason for this low obligation or low utilization
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001037is first is the procurement planning needed to be revisited
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001038to align with the actual project implementation progress
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001039and to create a more efficient budget utilization.
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001040It's because of some procurement packages
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001041were therefore not yet sufficiently matured or procurement ready.
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001042The second one is the project undertook a more thorough review
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001043of its technical and procurement documents.
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001044And the last one, the third one,
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001045is the regulatory legal requirements as being addressed.
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001046So our catch-up measures is the completion of the procurement documents,
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001047the engineering plans, terms of references,
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001048and the technical specifications and other details,
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001049cost estimate will be expedited with the current target of completion
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001050and submissions of major building requirements.
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001051Secondly is the resolutions of the legal and implementation concerns
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001052of which the PNRI is coordinating with appropriate legal authorities
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001053and strengthening internal legal support
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001054to facilitate timely resolutions of issues
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001055that have been affected the project itself.
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001056The implementation of the revised project roadmap
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001057The revised roadmap is being used to utilize a clear sequence
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001058for technical procurement and legal and implementation activities
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001059to be bring to the major procurement packages
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001060to the required level of readiness.
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001061So right now po, we are now working expediting this process
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001062to make sure that the utilization for the nuclear medicine project
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit
asr-001063will be expedited.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001064Thank you.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001065Mr. Chair,
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001066at the time when the Philippines faces escalating climate catastrophes,
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001067proposed fiscal year 2027 budget slashes
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001068Pag-ASA's weather and climate forecasting and warning
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001069programmed by 53.4% from 1.08 billion to 707.9 million.
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001070So the funding early warning projects and AI forecasting,
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001071what is the position of DOST and PAGASA on this?
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001072What will be the effect of this?
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001073What would be the effect of this budget cut
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001074in the operation of Pag-ASA?
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito
asr-001075May I ask the Administrator?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001076But before he answers, Your Honor,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001077essentially, many of the decrease in the current proposed 27 budget
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001078is related to the actual completion of many of the capital outlay projects.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001079So that is the reason.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001080But I'll ask Administrator Cervantes to give the details.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001081Thank you.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001082And thank you, Secretary.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001083Yes, there's a decrease in our total budget based on NEP next year,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001084about 12.3%.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001085And yeah, particularly in the capital outlay
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001086because there are projects that are already implemented
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001087and it does not require additional continuing funding for next year.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001088And of course, one of the reasons why there is a decrease in our budget,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001089particularly on the OOE component,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001090is because there's a decrease in the so-called CECA
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001091or the Congressional Initiative last year,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001092which is now reduced for next year.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001093And yeah, particularly on,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001094which includes one of the locally funded projects,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001095the EI for RP.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001096But anyway, this is continuing for next year.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001097And in the succeeding years,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001098we will make sure that this will be proposed.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001099If I may add, Your Honor,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001100essentially, some of the things that we do at DOST
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001101is to partner Pagano,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001102with other DOST agencies
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001103like the Advanced Science and Technology Institute,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001104and other international partners.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001105For example, he was mentioning about the use of AI
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001106in weather and climate forecasting.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001107And so, although it is not reflected in their budget,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001108because it's a research activity,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001109we provide the funding
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001110that would contribute to the improvement of their forecasting.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001111So the target for that particular project
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001112is to advance forecasting from five days
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001113to 14 days,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001114and the compute time,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001115which takes three hours now,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001116to every 15 minutes.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001117So that everyone would understand,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001118DOST provides R&D money
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001119to improve the operational forecasting capability
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001120of PAGASA.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001121So that's why it's very important
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001122that we really look into how
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001123further we can improve PAGASA
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001124by integrating efforts of other DOST agencies
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001125or the universities.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001126Okay, thank you.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001127That's all for now, Mr. Chair.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001128Thank you, Chairperson JV.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001129Senator Joel.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001130Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001131Of course, our Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001132I'm here to give my full support
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001133to the budget of DOST.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001134As you're all aware,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001135I've been sponsoring your budget
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001136for quite some time.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001137Of course, we have talked to and coordinate
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001138with the DENPAGASA chief.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001139Now, the Secretary of FIBOX.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001140Sorry, FIBOX.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001141Now, DOST Secretary,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001142Sully Doom, Jr.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001143And of course, I've worked with so many of you.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001144I just have one, two questions
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001145that I'd like to raise.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001146One, my perennial question
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001147on the contract of service.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001148Contract of service and unfilled positions
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001149in DOST.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001150In 2027, you have...
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001151I mean, in this year,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001152you have 962 unfilled positions.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001153You have 4,291 job orders
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001154and the contract of service workers.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001155Every year lagi kong binabantayan ito
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001156para mapababa natin.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001157Last year, 1 out of 10 government positions
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001158are unfilled.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001159So nag-improve naman, pero konti lang eh.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001160One out of thirteen na ngayon.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001161But still, we wanted to find out
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001162what is going on, dahil palaki nang
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001163palaki pa rin itong job order at
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001164contract of service.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001165Samantalang yung unfilled positions nandiyan pa rin.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001166So, we wanted to find out, again,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001167if the problem behind this
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001168could be a problem because
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001169yung item in itself,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001170like in COA,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001171is not commensurate
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001172with the position of the auditor.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001173For others,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001174the item is too low
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001175and there are no takers.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001176For others,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001177there is no one who can enter the position
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001178because there are not enough
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001179applicants.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001180So, we just wanted to look into it.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001181Secretary, please.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001182Yes, Mr. Chair.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001183Essentially, some of the reasons
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001184why positions would still reflect,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001185the number would still reflect
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001186the field position
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001187is that some retire
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001188and promotion will happen.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001189But the increase in number of positions
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001190would also be related to either Pag-asa
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001191who has not filled up everything yet
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001192and the teachers in Pisay
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001193and the Health Technology Assessment Division.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001194So, we're in the process of really hiring people.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001195Second, in Pisay, I think,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001196have you filled up the guidance counselor?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001197Because the problem with the guidance counselor is
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001198for a registered psychologist,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001199there should be a master.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001200So, that is one of the problems.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001201Thank you.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001202That's also the case.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001203Yes.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001204Guidance associated.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001205Okay, ma'am, please.
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001206Good afternoon, Your Honor.
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001207So, based on our data,
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001208we only have now four unfilled positions for GSA.
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001209But we're still…
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001210Four, number four.
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001211Four, sir.
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001212Okay.
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001213But the big unfilled positions now, sir,
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001214we have the teaching positions
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001215because we just received the new positions last June.
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001216So, we received 105 positions
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001217and the promotion process
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001218is ongoing.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001219Ma'am, would you confirm that right now,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001220there are 962 unfilled positions?
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001221Would you confirm this figure?
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001222For Philippine Science, sir,
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza
asr-001223we have 230.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001224No, for the entire department.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001225Who can…
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-0012261,000 plus.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001227That's all I have.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001228I don't want to belabor the issue.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001229It's just that I wanted to make sure
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001230that we are improving.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001231I wanted to make sure
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001232na bumababa yung unfilled positions.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001233Bumababa din sana yung JOs
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001234and contract of service
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001235workers natin kasi laging issue yung
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001236Because the endo is always an issue.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001237And we want to follow suit
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001238with the private sector.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001239But the number one violator of the endo
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001240is the government.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001241Another thing that I'd like to raise
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001242is the problem I personally encountered,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001243Mr. Chairman,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001244with some of my friends
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001245coming from Bulacan.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001246They would wake up
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001247in the wee hours of the morning,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-0012483 o'clock in the morning,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001249if I'm not mistaken.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001250They have a flight
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001251in Naia,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001252the original,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001253the Naia one,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001254Terminal 1,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001255ng 9 a.m.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001256So they left at 4.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001257Pagdating nila doon,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001258two hours before the flight,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001259sinabi na canceled yung flight
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001260because apparently,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001261and I have no way of checking on this
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001262because it's just my friend
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001263who told me about it,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001264na ang PAGASA parang sinabi na
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001265malakas na yung ulan, etc.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001266And that's why I'm going to bring this
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001267definitely in the budget of DOTR,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001268Mr. Chairman.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001269Sabi nila,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001270wala kasing instrument,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001271something, whatever, na
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001272they couldn't make that decision
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001273i-cancel yung flight.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001274But this is the worst part.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001275Okay na sana yun eh,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001276yung first day na nangyari.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001277Mr. Chairman, the next day,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001278so they went back home,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001279the next day,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001280the same thing happened.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001281They went from Bulacan to Naia,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001282Terminal 1,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001283two hours again before the flight,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001284sinabi na canceled.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001285At yun na naman yung dahilan
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001286because hindi ma-predict
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001287kung malakas ba ang ulan, etc.

asr-001427Isabela,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001428we don't have,

PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001430smaller station

asr-001431compared to
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001432major airport station.

Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001434but just to,

Senator Joel Villanueva

PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001449Yes,

asr-001583in the span of three hours?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001584That's why I mentioned
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001585earlier the

asr-001644rainfall
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001645and possible flooding

asr-001646because
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001647the most
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001648the more we can predict it
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001649the more we can prepare
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001650whether it's a flight
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001651or
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001652low-lying areas
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001653so
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001654ngayon po
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001655ang nagpre-predict po
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001657sa alam ko is

DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001664from Pag-asa
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001665but
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001666the decision on what
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001667they
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001668of course if it's a weather
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001671Okay.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001672So, galing rin po sa Pag-asa yun.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001673So, are we saying
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001674na
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001675three hours
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001676three hours lang talaga
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001677yung kaya nating
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001678ma-predict
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001679with a high confidence level?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001680Of course, we have
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-00168124 hour 48
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001682but
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001683the further we forecast
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001684hindi siya dumaganda yun.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001685But pagdating sa bagyo kasi
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001686may magandang protocol na tayo
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001687sa hangin kasi eh.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001688Pero pagdating sa rainfall
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001689especially during habagat
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001690which is very very
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001691sudden sometimes
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001692hindi mo minsan makita
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001693within three hours
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.

DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001695Okay.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001696That's why the solution is
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-001697make it shorter.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001698Okay.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001699Simple question.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001700Uh...
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001701Are we at par
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001702with technologies
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001703all over the world
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001704pagdating po sa prediction
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001705or
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001706lagging behind tayo?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001707Meaning,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001708if we had better
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001709I'm gonna say it
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001710very broadly.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001711If we had better technology
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001712could we have a more
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001713accurate way of predicting
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001714rainfall and flooding
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001715and these things?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001716Or ito na po yun?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001717This is really it.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001735Sa rainfall po?
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001736Sa rainfall,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001737honestly,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001738rainfall is really
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001739very difficult to predict.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001740May mga gaps pa yan.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001741Given the
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001742advanced technology,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001743even other
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001744advanced countries
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001745cannot predict
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001746the accurate amount
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001747of rainfall
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001748kailan
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001749tatating
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001750and anong mga
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001751specific area
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001752ng mga
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001753mga
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001754pektuhan.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001755But,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001756because of this
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001757network of
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001758doppler raiders,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001759at least we're
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-001760able to provide
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001761yun lang naman
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001762kung sa aming
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001763marinigay for at par
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001764or if we need
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001765further support here,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001766diba?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001767So, thank you for being honest.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001768Senator Joel,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001769siguro kasi
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001770yung mga airlines,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001771they also want to
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001772cancel at the last minute
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001773kasi
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001774iniintindi rin nila
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001775yung expenses nila.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001776So, probably
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001777that could be
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001778a policy reform
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001779for
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001780DOTR.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001781Where we
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001782require them
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001783to cancel
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001784certain hours
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001785before.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001786Of course,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001787if you're an airline,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001788I can guess na gusto mo
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001789last minute
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001790to the detriment
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001791of your passengers
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001792but to the benefit
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001793of your costs.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001794So, it's a DOTR.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-001795I think it's a DOTR.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001796Yeah, that's why
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001797I mentioned a while ago
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001798na it might be
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001799an unfair question
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001800on my end
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001801to raise this.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001802But,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001803yeah,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001804I'm glad that
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001805I was able to
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001806hear your side
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001807and at the same time,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001808ah,
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001809compare it
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001810to what
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001811can
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001812or what
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001813they cannot do
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001814in ka-up
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001815in
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001816as far as
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001817making
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001818the right decision
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001819whether
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001820itutuloy yung flight
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001821or hindi.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001822So, yun lang.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001823I'll
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001824put it at that.
Senator Joel Villanueva
asr-001825One last thing
Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-001999find a lot of
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002000technologies.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002001Marami tayong
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002002natutulungan.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002003Pero yung
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002004ability to scale up
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002005is really
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002006a concern.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002007In fact,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002008in keeping with
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002009ang
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002010aghamot,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002011ang dapat
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002012ramdam,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002013pwede natin
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002014tukuyin
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002015ano ba yung mga
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002016ginagawa natin
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002017na scaled up.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002018So, for example,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002019pag-asa.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002020Everybody looks at
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002021pag-asa for
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002022weather reports
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002023and I know you
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002024work with
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002025the DND
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002026and the DRMC
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002027for the
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002028yung alerts
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002029na nakakagulat,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002030diba?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002031Nakakagulat siya
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002032pero nakakatulong
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002033talaga siya.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002034It's really
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002035very, very helpful,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002036no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002037And in fact,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002038I commend
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002039that's in partnership
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002040with NDDRMC.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002041Correct, sir, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002042So, I commend you
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002043for that because
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002044it's very helpful
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002045kung orange na ba,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002046red na ba,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002047and I think
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002048it saves lives.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002049Honestly, I think
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002050it saves lives.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002051So, yun po,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002052example ko yun na
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002053may ginagawang
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002054DOST
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002055at ang pag-asa
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002056through
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002057NDDRMC
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002058na scaled up.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002059Ramdam
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002060ng maraming tao.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002061So, for example,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002062FIVOX,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002063of course,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002064sa mga areas
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002065na meron tayong
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002066mga bulkan,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002067no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002068And again,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002069when we give
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002070our announcement,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002071ramdam ng tao,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002072inaalagaan tayo
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002073ng FIVOX,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002074same with
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002075the science high schools,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002076no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002077If you look at the alumni,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002078libo-libo na,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002079tens of thousands
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002080na yan at this point.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002081So, I'm not talking
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002082about these initiatives
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002083which are quite
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002084popular
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002085and
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002086very well received,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002087no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002088In fact,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002089ang tanong nga hoon namin,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002090how can we help you
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002091improve your
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002092services?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002093My question is really
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002094with all of the research
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002095na ginagawa natin,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002096your first few slides
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002097showed a lot of pilots.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002098Maybe ano po ito,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002099suggestion lang po
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002100ito kung kahit.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002101In my first term,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002102we went to
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002103Taiwan
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002104to check on their
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002105MSME development program.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002106And yung intersection po
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002107kasi dito,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002108yung MSMEs nila
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002109were also inventors
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002110and scientists, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002111So, what they would do
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002112was they would
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002113incubate
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002114the inventors
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002115or the startups
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002116or the scientists.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002117But yung magandaho doon,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002118it wouldn't stop
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002119at a successful
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002120pilot
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002121or a successful prototype.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002122They had a ready list of companies that would go to those, kasi ano po siya eh, naka-house siya in a facility, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002123So, parang kunyari, kung tapos na yung programa, at the end of the 8th month, if it was an 8-month program, puro presentations na yan to companies.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002124So, when they would present to us, they would say, oh, this is the name of the project.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002125So, kunyari, sunshine project, but this is their product.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002126And then the product would be another product already.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002127And then the deal there was, these companies na nakapila na, marami from Europe, from America, from, I guess, even locally sa Taiwan,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002128they had a ready list of businesses that could work with the prototypes or the pilot programs.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002129And yung go-to-market nila was within a year, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002130Because those companies, they had the facilities, they had the factories, they had the ability to manufacture, they had the marketing arm, they had distribution,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002131but they were always looking for new technologies.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002132So, binabanggit ko po ito kasi yung isang batikos, nilang po sa DOST, pero marami po sa mga government programs, is naiiwan siya bilang pilot, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002133Bilang prototype.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002134And unless we're willing to fund in a great way yung mga startups, they will have a difficult time scaling up.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002135And many of them, especially yung mga more scientific-related, don't really want to become entrepreneurs,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002136but they do want to see their products go-to-market or their inventions go-to-market.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002137So, baka po we can also look at that, where every year when we see each other, we can talk about which of these products have actually scaled up.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002138No?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002139So, I'm not talking about yung common services po na inaantabayanan ng taong bayan,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002140but if we can eventually point to somebody from set-up, somebody from your agricultural program or your food,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002141na yung na-develop na produkto, nakipag-partner with a business, at ngayon, nakakapag-scale up na,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002142at yung inventor, kung ito yung deal na nais niya, meron ng royalties,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002143we can move on to another invention or another research, di ba?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002144I'm hoping, unless you have some that you can share, but I'm hoping we can go that path na hindi tayo nakukontento sa mga pilot at prototype,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002145but we really handhold until there's a scale-up, which would necessitate us to partner with other businesses, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002146Here and abroad.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002147Sige po, Secretary.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002148Thank you, Senator, for that very good suggestion.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002149In fact, that is the real purpose of...
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002150the four strategic pillars that we mentioned and the mantra Agham Ramdam.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002151For example, in the textile industry business, we have the producers of cotton and fabric from pineapple, banana, abaca, or kawayan.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002152And then we have the weaver.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002153So if you look at the ecosystem...
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002154The pain point there is that, okay, they produce, then somebody would weave, pero walang gumagawa ng sinulit.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002155And so we decided, through PTI, to develop the Regional Yarn Production and Innovation Center.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002156And that's solved the problem now.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002157Yung gana ng mga cotton farmer, gusto nang magproduce nang magproduce kasi meron ng bumibili.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002158So the Batangas Egg Producers Cooperative is another one.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002159Their problem was...
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002160Yung mga maninipis ang shell, madaling mabasag, tinatapon na lang yan.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002161But because of technology, they can now preserve it.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002162And with the ITDI technology, yung spray drying technique, you can actually create powders out of it.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002163And the shelf life will be at least two years.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002164So, yun po.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002165Tomorrow, I'll visit another place.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002166It's called NutriDense Corporation.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002167He started his business by utilizing...
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002168FNRI's nutritious product.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002169And the engagement is continuous.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002170The real strategy now, Your Honor, is to make sure that we actually evaluate the innovation ecosystem.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002171There are producers, there are small enterprises, micro-enterprises.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002172Then we have the consumer, but no one would...
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002173In the middle.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002174So we wanted to make sure that we have some firms in the middle.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002175Before I came in, the setup would only provide assistance to the enterprise two times only.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002176So, binago po natin yun.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002177So, kung lumalaki siya, at dumadami yung supplier niya at yung mga sales niya,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002178pa tayo tumitigil sa pagtulong palakihin natin pa magkaroon ng mas maraming sales, mas maraming trabaho.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002179So, this is what we're doing.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002180In the electric vehicle industry, President and I visited a manufacturing plant.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002181Who is willing to develop the e-trikes that we prototype.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002182And willing siya.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002183Ang kailangan lang niya is continuous partnership with the DOST experts.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002184And then very willing yung mga toda gusto nang bumili, inaanap na.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002185So, tama po yung inyong sinasabi.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002186And we have a program to really advertise to potential investors and industrial partners the different technologies.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002187Ang kailangan lang po siguro, mabago din yung university.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002188Ang framework na hanggang publication lang sila eh.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002189So, nire-record natin sila na hanggang market.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002190And also to make sure na pagdating sa mga university, hindi lang paper ang publication,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002191ang indicator for promotion, pati yung commercialization.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002192Kulang pa rin ng investment ang mga Filipino businessmen, like countries that you mentioned.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002193Pero tinutuloy po natin.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002194So, we will be having continuous dialogue with them.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002195Kaya yung looking for manufacturing partners that can scale production, yun po ang isang ginagawa.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002196And I think gumagana na po yun.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002197It would just take time.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002198Hindi ka agad makukuha yung ganong mindset.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002199I would suggest, Secretary, because I'm also handling that ETI budget.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002200Ang request kasi ni Secretary Roque is to fund more fairs, trade fairs.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002201Baka pwedeng may isang major trade fair na lahat ng produkto ng,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002202tinulungan ng DOST, who are already at that point that they're willing to go to market.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002203Kasi, make no mistake, there are some who really want to do research, they don't want to go into business.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002204So, we should respect that.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002205Kasi, ano po talaga, hindi mo yan mapipilit na mag-commercialize.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002206And they want to do the research.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002207So, iba yung path nila.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002208But there are some, I think, who really want to go to market.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002209At dalawa naman yan.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002210Either they want to grow the business themselves, and I know there are programs that you have already for that, like set up.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002211And there are those who would rather partner with another group and get royalties na lang.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002212Nalilink up nung ahensya na mga businesses to the startups and to the scientists are functioning businesses already with a track record in marketing products.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002213So, this is something we can also start to develop.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002214Yes, Mr. Senator.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002215Ako, I would suggest maganda ito with DTI.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002216Kasi, they do a lot of thematic trade fairs.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002217Baka we can talk to Secretary Roque na may isa tayong trade fair din na the best of the best of the OST.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002218And marami sa trade fairs po ng DTI, they really attract an international audience because yung trade attachés of DTI also are marketing this abroad.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002219So, baka maganda mong mag-link up tayo dyan.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002220Innovative Startup Act actually is both a baby of the OST and DTI.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002221That's also my law.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002222So, baka magandang either through that framework or through another framework, we can look at how we can support this further.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002223And our goal is in the next five years, for example, we have homegrown technologies and inventions here that eventually will be seen everywhere.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002224Kasi, nangihinayag rin po ako ang maraming produkto at invention na...
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002225Hindi na nagpo-progress into a full market reach.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002226Like, usually, nag-end up lang siya sa mga pasalubong center or nag-end up lang siya in a very localized marketing area.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002227While many of those technologies with the right support can actually really scale up.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002228But again, the model is different.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002229Sometimes kasi marami sa mga DOST supported really want to continue researching.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002230So, I'm sure...
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002231I'm sure we can find a way to do that, sir.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002232So, we can work on that with DTI also.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002233Okay.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002234Let me ask about AI.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002235Is DOST or is it DICT, which is the main agency watching out for AI?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002236And possible good things and bad things that will come from the AI revolution currently happening?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002237DOST was asked to lead the development of the National AI Strategy.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002238So, we developed the AI Strategy Framework and Implementation Strategy.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002239This was approved last May or last year.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002240Okay. So, one year na.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002241And ginawa po natin doon, hinati po natin kung sino may gawa.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002242So, pagdating po sa infrastructure and connectivity, DICT po talaga yun.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002243Kaya marinig niyo po sila na nag-launch sila ng Infrastructure and Connectivity Master Plan.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002244Pagdating naman sa governance and policy,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002245kami will be talent creation like Masters and PhD, R&D and commercialization,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002246of course, together with the private sector and DTI.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002247On skills, on workforce development, of course, we have TESDA for the employees right now with the private sector,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002248and then DepEd and CHED, and of course, we will assist.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002249Now, on the DOST side, I think pagdating po sa talagang operational, kami po yung advanced.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002250As we have established the...
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002251computing facility already, which we are actually increasing the compute.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002252So, we established the National AI Center for Research and Innovation.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002253And one of the target is to provide AI as a service to MSME.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002254So, yung strategy po yan, hindi lang Advanced Science and Technology Institute.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002255Lahat po ng director, regional office, ginagawa po natin niya.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002256May kanya-kanya pong development together with the RTC using AI.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002257So, we have concept.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002258We have conceptualized a human-centered AI.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002259So, essentially, AI helping us perform better and of quality.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002260So, that's under ASTI?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002261Ang National AI Center?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002262Yes po, sa ASTI po.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002263Okay, sige.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002264Kay Dr. De Leon, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002265So, ito naman po, mungkahi lang.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002266Are we starting to train an LLM or an AI on Filipino culture, values,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002267history?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002268Are we starting to do that?
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002269Good afternoon, Your Honor.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002270Thank you, Secretary.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002271Yes po.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002272Fortunately, actually, Secretary Bispo has a very strong support on establishing our own LLM.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002273Basic na rin po sa his personal experience because he goes throughout the country.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002274So, most often than not, he would need such application.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002275So hindi lang verbally, DOST is really supporting that program.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002276In fact, kaka-approval po ng major program.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002277On developing our own LLM.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002278Covering not just the major languages but also traversing even yung mga mas kaunti pa na nagsasalita na languages.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002279Yes, and more importantly, cultural and history, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002280So, the National AI Center is in charge of that.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002281Are you gonna make that open to the public?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002282Is it already open to the public?
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002283We will make it available to the public hopefully by next year.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002284So, i-distinguish ko lang po.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002285Yung NAICRI, National AI Center.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002286National AI Center for Research Innovation.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002287So, that's the infrastructure part.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002288The whole AI program being supported by DOST.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002289Yung pong sa LLM program, it's a completely new program.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002290But of course, in terms of utilizing the infrastructure being used, doon po sila nagtatagpo.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002291Is that in your budget?
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002292It will be. So, currently...
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002293So, it's not in the 2027 budget?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002294So, it's OSEC? Nasa OSEC pa?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002295Okay.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002296So, the importance of this is because the AI that we use is currently mostly the American AI, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002297American-made AI.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002298I don't think marami pang nagdi-deep-seek sa Pilipinas but definitely Claude, Gemini, etc.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002299Mas maraming gumagamit.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002300And this was something I got familiarized to when I had my fellowship in the US.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002301Na...
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002302As you keep on using the AI, the AI...
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002303You're training the AI but the AI is also training you.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002304And a lot of the time, the output that it gives you is from the perspective of the creators of the AI.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002305So, if it's American, it's some 32-year-old in Silicon Valley.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002306And whatever they input there, yun din yung nare-regurgitate back to you, diba?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002307So, if we're not careful...
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002308Our countrymen, our youth are all using AI coming from other countries.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002309Eventually, there will be a type of assimilation of culture, language, and mores, and norms, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002310So, having our own...
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002311And of course, hindi naman tayo like India or China or Korea na may talagang may sariling AI na kinukomersyalize.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002312But having that AI, I think, that's trained on Filipino culture, values, and history, and language,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002313will be...
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002314And if we're able to have more people use that, I think it'll be very important, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002315Kasi it's another way where we can preserve our culture while there's a current push for the two big AI countries, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002316to dominate, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002317Sige po, Sek.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002318Of course,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002319we will not compete with them.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002320But we will be developing
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002321our large language models
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002322or even smaller language models
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002323to address the specific challenges
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002324and problems we have.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002325Now,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002326while we use
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002327or develop large language models,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002328the critical
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002329program or input
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002330or fuel to the AI
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002331would be our sovereign data.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002332Exactly.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002333So DOSD po is developing
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002334and if you heard of the word gates,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002335hindi po si Bill Gates,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002336but it's called
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002337the Geospatial Analytics
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002338and Technology Solutions Platform.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002339We're digitizing all data
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002340that we have
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002341and other partners
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002342and peg every data
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002343to a specific geographic location
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002344so that we can interoperate everything
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002345and use AI
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002346to do analytics.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002347We will create our own
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002348data lake house for that
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002349and we are already operating it
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002350and all the regional
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002351and provincial operations
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002352together with LGUs
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002353or academic partners
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002354that would want to use that system
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002355are free to use that.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002356Of course,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002357we're trying to finish up the platform
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002358para yung data
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002359will just go into the lake house
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002360para magamit po natin yun
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002361for our own AI use.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002362Yes.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002363Yung ating ginagaw
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002364in tandem with the AI center.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002365But let's not forget na
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002366yung training yan
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002367is also retro...
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002368I mean,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002369it's things in the past
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002370not just things
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002371prospectively.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002372Diba?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002373So, for example,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002374if we're using
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002375Chinese AI
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002376and you talk about
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002377South China Sea,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002378West Philippine Sea,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002379iba yung perspective
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002380na ilalabas niya.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002381Diba?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002382Yun yung mga mahalaga.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002383Or even just the fact
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002384that it's become
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002385such an important source
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002386of information
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002387and the perspective
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002388is not a Filipino perspective.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002389Diba?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002390So, we're really...
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002391That's a possible danger
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002392yan down there.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002393I'm sure you're very aware
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002394of that, Dr. De Leon.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002395So,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002396well,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002397we hope that
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002398you can launch this,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002399make it available
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002400to the public.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002401So, kung may mga nagtatanong,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002402maganda kung
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002403ang tinatanong nila
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002404yung AI na nakatrain
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002405sa lingwahe natin
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002406tsaka sa kultura.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002407Mr. Senator,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002408hindi lang,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002409tayimig lang to eh.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002410But we have the platform
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002411called Itanong.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002412Okay.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002413It's an AI.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002414Go ahead and explain.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002415Para sabi,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002416meron na tayo ngayon eh.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002417Thank you, Secretary.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002418So, yung Itanong po,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002419pretty much like
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002420your chat GPT,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002421except that it works
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002422really on a
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002423private space.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002424So, kung ano lang po
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002425yung sinishare
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002426ng isang agency
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002427o isang institution,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002428yun ang po ginagamit.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002429So, you could query it
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002430Filipino,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002431English,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002432or Taglish.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002433So, doon lang po tayo
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002434nag-start.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002435So, eventually,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002436it found its way
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002437to many applications
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002438and once we,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002439pag kinikwento na po namin
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002440siya to many agencies,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002441they become
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002442very interested.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002443So,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002444initial deployment natin,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002445for example,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002446si LGU
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002447sa Butuan po.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002448So, kahit pa paano,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002449ginagamit na po nila.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002450Okay.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002451So, they can appropriate
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002452that chatbot,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002453basically.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002454Yeah.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002455And habang mas ginagamit yan,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002456mas gumaganda rin
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002457yung services niya,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002458mas nagiging
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002459accurate rin
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002460yung mga binabanggit.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002461Yes, Your Honor.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002462And as you mentioned,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002463yung AI safety
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002464is very important
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002465for us.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002466So,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002467we are very particular
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002468about the kind of
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002469information,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002470syempre dapat po
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002471vetted.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002472But of course,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002473secure
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002474and also,
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002475kumbaga hindi po siya
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002476madaling
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002477ilukohin
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002478or dayain.
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002479So, we're aware
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002480of those issues.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002481Sige.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002482I'm sure alam nyo na to,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002483but
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002484it is in your budget,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002485right?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002486To further develop this
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002487and eventually
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002488make it more accessible
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002489to the public.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002490Yes?
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon
asr-002491Yes, Your Honor.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002492Okay.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002493Maybe you can also
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002494partner with the
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002495EGOV people.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002496I don't know kung may
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002497chat function na ba
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002498si EGOV,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002499but baka
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002500you can power that
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002501aspect of it,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002502di ba?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002503Or
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002504even in
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002505government websites,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002506lahat ng queries
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002507ng mga tao
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002508can benefit
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002509from that.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002510And
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002511in fact,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002512if it can make our
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002513process
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002514easier to understand,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002515ang laking bagay na nun,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002516sa lahat ng mga
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002517government functions,

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002520and more.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002521And more.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002522Sige.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002523Let me go to
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002524disaster preparedness.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002525So,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002526for
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002527Pag-asa
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002528and for
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002529FIVOX,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002530ano naman po,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002531di ba?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002532You're currently
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002533integrated with the
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002534LGUs,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002535with the

asr-002543na napakagrabe rin
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002544ng mga pagbaha.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002545Is there anything more

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002645Can we
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002646improve
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002647our
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002648response
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002649for all the flooding
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002650na nakikita ho natin?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002651Naman,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002652monitor nyo naman po yan,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002653diba?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002654Tama naman na
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002655the flooding has gotten worse,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002656right?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002657Is that
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002658do you have scientific
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002659evidence to that?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002660Or is that just a
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002661feeling lang po yun?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002662Parang
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002663meron naman ata, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002664Natatrack nyo po ba?
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002665Ang hazard siguro nakikita natin nagiging more extremes because there are more stronger typhoons, in fact, even in the absence of tropical cyclones, recently, ang impacts ng tabagat, nakikita natin, ay nagdulot ng mga malakas ng mga pagbaha.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002666But, of course,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002667ang risks
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002668ay
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002669nag-increase
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002670because of
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002671yung mga exposed
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002672communities.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002673If you have compared
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002674several years ago,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002675ngayon,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002676maraming mga
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002677structures,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002678communities
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002679along the
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002680areas that are exposed to these hazards,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002681nagiging
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002682ang impacts, no?
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002683Nagiging enhanced.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002684But,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002685one of the
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002686initiatives na ginagawa ng
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002687PAGASA now,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002688we started to operationalize impact.
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002689Ito po yung, hindi lamang
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002690forecasting the hazards, but
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002691focus on the
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002692impacts. Ang tawag namin dito,
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando
asr-002693impact-based forecasting.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002694Yung Project NOAA po is with
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002695PAGASA, right? No?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002696Ah, with UP. Okay.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002697But, see,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002698the hazard maps on Project NOAA,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002699that's updated.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002700And you coordinate naman ho siguro on that?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002701Or you don't have anything to do with that?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002702You get rainfall data.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002703Project NOAA gets rainfall data from PAGASA.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002704Yes, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002705Sige.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002706Kasi, I'm thinking,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002707how can we be more
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002708responsive
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002709sa mga
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002710LGUs, no? Because I think itong
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002711last few weeks of Habagat,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002712parang maraming areas na hindi
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002713nababaha noon na
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002714nababaha.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002715Baha na ulit ngayon, eh, no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002716Sige po, Sek, if you have something to share.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002717The real problem with flood is not simply
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002718forecasting it, but essentially
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002719evaluating the
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002720changes that happens
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002721in a local government with time.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002722As they, for example,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002723concretize and would
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002724convert many surfaces
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002725to asphalt or concrete,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002726then the rainfall
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002727that instead of going down the soil
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002728would just flow and run off
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002729towards the drainage. And sometimes,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002730the drainage
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002731is not enough already.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002732So, kulang.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002733And, of course, nagkakaroon din ng pagbara
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002734yung mga drainage, yung ilog
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002735na dating malapat ay kumikipot
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002736because of urbanization.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002737So, there are many factors. Those should also
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002738be monitored. That is why
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002739DOST
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002740and, of course, with PHIVOX
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002741in partnership with
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002742DISHUT, developed
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002743a PlanSmart
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002744for Sustainable Human Settlement.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002745Na i-automate yung mga
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002746hazard and risk assessment
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002747so that they spend more time
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002748on designing their
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002749settlement more rather than getting
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002750data. And so, this
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002751need to be continuously done.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002752Hindi lang one-off planning and
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002753bahala ka na.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002754The second is the HANDA integrated platform
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002755which was also mentioned.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002756It is
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002757a one-stop shop for
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002758warning. So, if you just use
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002759the GPS of your phone, it will
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002760tell you exactly
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002761ano yung active weather system,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002762kung may earthquake na recent,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002763or active volcanoes erupting, or tsunami warning.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002764You can also use AI
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002765to determine the hazards.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002766So, essentially,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002767from the various applications around,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002768one can actually be informed of what
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002769can happen. So, the impact-based
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002770forecasting of pag-asa is very critical.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002771So, yun po is how to
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002772ensure that people understand
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002773it. And kailan talagang
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002774palakasin sa local level.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002775Yun po yung sigurong kailan.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002776Let me ask, Secretary, kung kunyari, isa akong
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002777munisipyo,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002778tapos napapansin ko, gumagrabi
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002779yung flooding sa amin.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002780Would you have that service where
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002781an LGU,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002782kasi yung inabanggit nyo
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002783kanina, settlements po yun, di ba?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002784So, hindi naman siya LGU-wide.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002785But, would you have that
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002786capability to
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002787advise an LGU, for example,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002788na looking at all of the data
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002789from pag-asa, from PHIVOX,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002790our AI platform, and all of that.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002791Ito yung
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002792recommendations namin to an LGU
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002793to be more safe,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002794or to be more
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002795ready. Ito yung mga area na kailangan
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002796yung bantayan. Ito yung mga red zones
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002797natin dito. You should evacuate people
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002798from this part because
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002799any kind of rainfall,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002800or rainfall even of a minimal
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002801capacity will flood this area.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002802Would the OST have that
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002803capability to support our LGUs?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002804Yes. The apps actually are LGU-based.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002805Even though the shoot settlement planning
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002806is LGU-based. Ah, hindi lang siya
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002807parang township? Hindi, hindi. Talagang LGU
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002808yung boundary. Okay. So,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002809there are many apps that have been
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002810developed by PHIVOX when I was
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002811their director. So, these are available.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002812That's why, very big
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002813activity that we have is to train them on the use
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002814of the application. The real concern
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002815though is, siyempre,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002816we're
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002817really, in some
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002818areas, talagang maliit pa lang na walang
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002819babahin. And so, kailangan talaga
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002820nilang tingnan kung ano yung
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002821intervention doon. And that
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002822is why when we show the various
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002823applications that we have
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002824for flood management or water management,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002825kailangan talagang
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002826may tumutok doon sa kanila. Kasi siyempre,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002827hindi naman tayo 24
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002828hour by 7 para lang sa kanila.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002829So, the apps are there to guide them.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002830But, and then,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002831they can have their own
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002832standard operating procedure
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002833for their locality.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002834They can consult with you. The LGU can consult with you.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002835Part 1 ng aming service siya.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002836Have you done a, like an
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002837LGU
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002838plan na ito yung
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002839hazard, ito yung mga areas na
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002840delikado, and
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002841which LGUs po yan?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002842Ano lang, so
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002843we know, diba?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002844Si Dr. Bacong.
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002845The DHSUD has already
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002846trained, I think,
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002847more than 300 LGUs.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002848Oh, really? And you partnered with the DHSUD?
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002849The PlanSmart for
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002850Sustainable Communities, which
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002851PHIVOLCS developed.
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002852So, it's now owned by the DHSUD.
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002853But, of course, we still continue to
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002854give support
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002855kapag may questions sila
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002856on how they,
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002857papano i, if there are
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol
asr-002858problems on the platform.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002859Or if you're updating the data.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002860If you're updating the data.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002861So, you worked with the DHSUD.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002862The DHSUD uses your data and
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002863the apps when they
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002864roll out.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002865So, they can guide
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002866all of their new areas also, and old areas.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002867That's right.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002868So, yan, ramdam na ramdam mga kang dyan.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002869And then, I developed a program
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002870which is operated by the regional office.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002871The development of smart and sustainable
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002872cities, towns, or province.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002873Disaster and climate resilience is one component.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002874So, yung masyadong
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002875gustong mas advanced, we can
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002876develop a digital twin for them.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002877You can actually create a three-dimensional
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002878computer-based
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002879twin of
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002880the physical, and then do the hazard
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002881modeling. So, we also partner
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002882with the
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002883genetic group of UP on that.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002884So, depende po sa interest
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002885ng LGU, maraming
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002886intervention na pwede kawin, but they have to have
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002887their own personnel to be our
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002888counterpart. And yung ganyan po,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002889they go to you, or you go to them?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002890For the smart and sustainable,
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.

DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002892We offer them the various
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002893technologies that we can share with them.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002894Yung iba, marami po disaster
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002895resilience. So, may mga MOA po sila.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002896And one of the things that we do
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002897first is to train them about
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-002898the different apps.
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.

asr-002997By 500 million
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002998Or maybe itong
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-002999First and second
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003000Actually it's the restoration
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003001Just to explain
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003002Sir senator
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003003DBM downloaded
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003004Certain amounts to
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003005DOST agencies
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003006Essentially because
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003007There are projects that
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003008They will operate anyway
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003009Unfortunately we
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003010Think that some of the amounts
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003011That are not intended
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003012For the agencies
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003013Were downloaded to them
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003014So parang
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003015Balik na lang muna sa amin
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003016Kasi
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003017May popondohan kami doon
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003018Which will not be used
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003019By the agency
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003020So that's why the request
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003021Of 516 million
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-00302231,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003023Who receives the grants and aid?
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003024Iba-ibang agencies
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003025That were downloaded
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003026But this is under
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003027The office of the secretary
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003028Ah okay
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003029Kaya you would see
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003030That our R&D was
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003031Decreased because of
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003032The downloading to agencies
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003033Okay
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003034So you want

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003043DBM
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003044Is that
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003045Do you concur
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003046DBM?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003047Na this was

asr-003048Mistakenly distributed
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003049To the other agencies
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003051Palagi ko hindi po mistaken
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003052That's their idea
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003053That was the idea of DBM
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003054Ano ba yung grants and aid na ito po?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003055Does this go to citizens?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003056Or to
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003057Corporate
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003058Enterprises?

DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003065To reallocate po itong budget
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003066From DBM
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003067DOST OSSEC
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003068To the attached agencies
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003069Ito po yung para ma-streamline
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003070Yung mga other processes
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003071Like po yung mga
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003072Pagkakaroon ng mga
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003073Trust receipts

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003078Okay
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003079Do I get it correct no?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003080So this used to be with the OSSEC
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003081Nilipat siya sa mga agencies
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003082For efficiency
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003083Tama ba?
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003084Yes po
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003085Okay and then grants and aid
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003086Is basically support
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003087Given to
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003088The attached agencies po
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003089Yes but who do they
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003090Ah it's a grant for the agency
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003091Or it's a grant that they will further
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003092Provide to other people
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003093For R&D ng agency
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003094Okay and the secretary is requesting
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003095Ibalik sa OSSEC
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003096For redistribution
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003097Sa tingin namin nasobra yung iba
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003098Okay so anyway
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003099You can submit na lang po
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003100How you want to reallocate
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003101But this is not a new item
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003102This is within the system
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003103So the GIA level po
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003104Yung GIA funding po
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla
asr-003105Deemed insufficient

asr-003108Wisdom of the Secretary
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003109Sure
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003110Yeah may tututul ba
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003111Na matanggalan ng
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003112This is basically R&D budget
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003113Secretary
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003114Essentially R&D po yan
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003115And we have discussed with them naman po
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003116With PPM
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003117So I think we understand
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003118About it
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003119But we are prioritizing the following
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003120Mr. Senator
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003121The Augmentation for S&T Scholarship Program
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003122For Masters and PhD
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003123As the stipend for
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003124DOST Scholarship
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003125For Masters and PhD
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003126Is lower than what CHED is providing
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003127So parang dapat ipantay lang
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003128Then number two is
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003129Construction Rehabilitation of
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003130STI Facilities
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.

DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
asr-003171Is the technology business incubation hubs

asr-003299To undergo the process
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003300Of being trained
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-003309But
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003310There's a set
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003311A smaller set
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-003313The training
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003314Who will really benefit from it
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003315And then

asr-003319Businesses that have
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003320Started small
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003321Become much larger
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003322And
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003323You're basically mining
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003324From their experience
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003325Ano yung mga pinagdaanan nila
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003326So that the rest of the ecosystem
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-003328In
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003329In those learnings
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003330So
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003331In Taiwan
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003332Your Acer and your Asus
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003333Who of course are
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003334Huge multinational companies
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003335All started as
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003336Smaller companies
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003337That did work for
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003338Other bigger companies
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003339Nagsimula sa maliliit na facilities
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003340Eventually
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003341Now they have their own brands
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003342And they're able to develop
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003343Their own technologies
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003344So along the way
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003345Nakita namin na
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003346Yung pag-provide pala ng information
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003347Was already a big support
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003348So again
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003349Dito papasok na ngayon yung
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003350Kung brick and mortar
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003351The negosyo center
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003352Maybe kung
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003353Online
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003354It can be our platforms
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003355So
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003356And then yung
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003357Sinusupport natin
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003358Through grants
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003359Or through loans
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003360Or through equipment
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003361Which you already do
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003362There's that set there
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003363And then yung mga
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003364Lumaki na
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003365Were able to
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003366Award
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003367Recognize
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003368And support further
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003369So they can share their
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003370Learnings across the system
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003371Now
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003372Nakita rin ho namin
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003373Na yung set na
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-00337420%
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003375Tsaka yung set na
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-00337610% na lumaki
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003377Nagkaroon ng
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003378Direct interventions
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003379Yung gobyerno
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003380Nang Taiwan
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003381Nang Taiwan
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003382So
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003383So one was
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003384Providing the facilities
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003385We don't really
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003386We don't really
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003387House them
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003388Or have that
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003389But at least
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003390May mga TBI tayo
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003391May mga maker
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003392Labs
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003393And all of that
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003394Maker spaces
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003395And yung market linkage
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003396And what we saw
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003397Was that
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003398And that's why
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003399My first questions
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003400Were about scaling up
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003401So yun po
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003402We haven't unlocked
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003403That pa talaga
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003404Whether that scaling up
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003405Is a market solution
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003406Meaning
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003407For example
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003408Like
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003409Secretary Lopez
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003410Of DTI before
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003411Would have a
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003412Meron siyang
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003413Area for MSME
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003414Sa mga malls
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003415Which
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003416They did before
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003417With DTI
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003418Yung go local nila
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003419Diba
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003420So it could be
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003421A market intervention
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003422It could be a
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003423Partnership intervention
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003424Like in Taiwan
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003425Na you partner
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003426With a company
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003427That
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003428Sanay sila
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003429To bring
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003430Technologies to market
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003431So
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003432Maganda yung deal
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003433Tapos may protection rin
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003434For the
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003435For the scientist
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003436Or the inventor
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003437That the government
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003438Provides
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003439Alongside their
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003440Incubation hub
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003441Kasama na rin
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003442Dun sa linkage
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003443Yung protection
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003444Kasi
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003445Tinutulungan sila
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003446With the proper
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003447MOU
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-003450And everything
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003451So
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003452Yun siguro yung isang
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003453Hindi pa natin talaga
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003454Nagagawa
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003455Which is really
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003456Providing an ecosystem
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003457Where
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003458Our inventors
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003459Feel safe
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003460That their inventions
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003461Can go to market
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003462Through a managed
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003463Partnership
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003464And to be fair
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003465Very few countries
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003466Actually are able
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003467To provide that service
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003468As far as I know
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003469Alam ko
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003470China can do that
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003471Taiwan does that
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003472But
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003473Di naman yun pang karaniwan
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003474But
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003475If we're able to provide
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003476That service
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003477Just to be able to link them
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003478To partners
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003479These could be local
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003480Filipino companies
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003481For example
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003482There was a time
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003483Na
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003484Our local
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003485Coca-Cola
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003486Wanted to buy
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003487This local iced tea
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003488Na gusto nilang
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003489I go to market
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003490I don't think
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003491It really worked out
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003492But there was a time
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003493That there was
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003494That openness there
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003495Or for example
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003496Yung mga food
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003497Manufacturers natin
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003498Kung may makita silang
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003499Magandang technology
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003500From our inventors
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003501Diba
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003502So we can
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003503We can try to provide
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003504That linkage
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003505Your TBIs will of course
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003506Be very important
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003507Pero initially
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003508It really might be a
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003509A major push
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003510From the top
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003511Na
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003512Masanay yung mga
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003513Filipino companies
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003514Na pwede silang
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003515Makipag-deal
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003516With our
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003517Startups
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003518And our inventors
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003519Diba
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003520And hopefully
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003521Kahit
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003522Isa o dalawa lang yan
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003523Per year
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003524Na talagang
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003525Mag go to market tayo
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003571group of investors
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003572or investors
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003573who are interested
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003574to invest in
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003575some of the
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003576technologies
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003577or start-ups
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003578that we have been assisting
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003579at the DOST.
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003580So,
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003581they asked for five start-ups
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003582and they pitch their technologies
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003583and then
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003584one of them
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003585is chosen.
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003586But of course,
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003587the other,
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003588the rest are also
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003589being linked
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003590into the network
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003591pero there's only
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena

DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003594aside from that
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003595is the mentorship
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003596directly to the
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003597to the chamber.
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003598Similar,
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003599similar goes
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003600to the four other start-ups
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003601and this is just a pilot,
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003602I think.
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003603That's why I was
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003604telling the chamber
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003605if we can add
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003606more activities like
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003607What was it?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003608A product or a service?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003609Yung pinitch nila?
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003610Ang nanalo?
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003611Mostly our service.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003612Service.
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003613Ang nanalo po is
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003614a edtech
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003615that is initially funded
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003616under the Startup Grant Fund
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003617and then was further funded
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003618or assisted by TAPI
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003619for Expanded Venture Financing Program.
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003620So, it's like a
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003621a company that is
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003622doing both

asr-003624and administrative system
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena

DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena
asr-003627Software.
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003631ako,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-003634our companies to
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV

asr-003636our grantees
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003637tama ba sir?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003638Our beneficiaries
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003639to market
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003640we really lead with that.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003641So, I remember
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003642last na po ito
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003643kasi we're gonna close na.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003644Kausap ko yung
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003645Ambassador to Israel.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003646Israel, of course,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003647had a
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003648we
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003649we tried to learn
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003650from their experience
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003651on the Startup Act.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003652This is the
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003653Israeli Ambassador
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-00365410 years ago
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003655or 12 years ago.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003656And sabi niya,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003657you know, Senator,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003658the Venture Fund
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003659is actually
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003660is actually an
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003661adventure fund.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003662Sabi ko, why?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003663Why is it adventure
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003664more than venture?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003665Because with startups,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003666you don't really know
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003667who will succeed.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003668In fact,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003669tama si Sec,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003670only 10% succeed.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003671But,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003672sabi niya,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003673we have Viber,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003674we have Waze.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003675And even 12 years ago,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003676Viber and Waze
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003677were already
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003678popular
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003679and leading in the world.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003680And sabi niya,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003681our startup ecosystem
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003682helped produce
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003683these apps.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003684So, pag sinabi niya,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003685we produced
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003686Viber and Waze
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003687na alam ng lahat,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003688alam nating lahat,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003689it just provides
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003690so much credibility
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003691and it will invite
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003692more support
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003693and more investment.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003694So, that's why
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003695I'm always asking,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003696ano yung ginagawa
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003697natin na ramdam?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003698Alam ng lahat ng tao.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003699So, for example,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003700in the past two weeks,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003701every 30 minutes,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003702nag-a-alert tayo.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003703Although, alam kong
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003704NDRMC yun,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003705alam ko galing rin yun
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003706sa pag-asa.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003707So,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003708ano yung ramdam na ramdam
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003709ng tao?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003710And I hope
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003711some of our grantees
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003712will get to a level
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003713where they are successful now.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003714Sometimes ko kasi
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003715yung mga pitching,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003716pinagdaanan ko na rin to,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003717I was a social entrepreneur
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003718for many years.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003719Yung mga pitching competition,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003720without the proper
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003721framework and infrastructure
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003722after that
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003723the grant is given,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003724mahihirapan na ne.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003725The best talaga,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003726especially if our
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003727startups
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003728are more on the science-based,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003729like they don't really
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003730intend to put up a business,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003731they're more into the
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003732invention and to the research,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003733is really
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003734helping them
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003735with a good contract
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003736so that another company
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003737can help scale up
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003738the technology
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003739while making sure
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003740protected sila
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003741at kumikita rin sila.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003742And that allows them
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003743to go to their next version
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003744or to go to their next technology.
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003745So,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003746I hope we can,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003747you know,
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003748ano pa naman po ito?
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003749I hope I'll be handling
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV
asr-003750your budget again next year.
