Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000030Thank you, Committee Secretary.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000032Magandang umaga po sa ating lahat.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000033As we begin our deliberations on the proposed budget or budgets of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000034the Optical Media Board, the Film Development Council of the Philippines, and the Philippine Racing Commission,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000035I'd like to emphasize that these agencies may appear to operate in very different fields,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000036but they share one important responsibility, protecting the public,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000037interests while supporting industries that contribute to our economy, culture, and livelihood of our people.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000038Ang budget po ng pamahalaan ay pera po ng taong bayan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000039We all know that.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000040Kaya sa bawat pisong ilalaan natin sa mga ahensya ninyo,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000041dapat malinaw kung saan ito gagamitin, ano ang kongkretong resulta, at paano makikinabang ang ating mga kababayan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000042Let's tackle, first, the budget of the MTRCB.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000043For MTRCB, we have...
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000051For MTRCB, the agency was given under 2026 General Appropriations Act, a total budget of 75.29 million pesos.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000052For fiscal year 2027, it is requesting a total budget of 49.99 million.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000053Today, Filipinos are consuming content not only through traditional television and cinema,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000054but also through streaming platforms and various digital channels.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000055Our children, in particular, have unprecedented access to content.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000056We, therefore, need to ask whether a regulatory framework is keeping pace with these changes.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000057Second, the Optical Media Board.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000058For OMB, the agency was given under the 2026 General Appropriations Act, a total budget of 47.03 million.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000059For fiscal year 2027, it is requesting a total budget of 53.462 million.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000060The media landscape has dramatically changed.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000061CDs and DVDs...
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000062We have moved into a digital environment where content can be copied, downloaded, distributed, streamed, and reproduced almost instantly.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000063This raises an important question.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000064Is the Optical Media Board still operating with the mandate and systems appropriate for today's digital economy?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000065We need to make sure that public funds are being used efficiently,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000066that the agency is responding to actual threats to intellectual property and legitimate businesses.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000067Third, the Film Development Council of the Philippines.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000068For FDCP, the agency was given under the 2026 General Appropriations Act, a total budget of 367.35 million pesos.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000069For fiscal year 2027, it is requesting a total budget of 311.74.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000070The Philippine film industry is not merely an entertainment industry.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000071It is part of our cultural identity.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000072It is also a potential source of jobs, tourism, investment, and international recognition for Filipino talent.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000073We have Filipino filmmakers, actors, writers, directors, animators, cinematographers, editors, production workers, and other creative professionals
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000074who have demonstrated that we can compete internationally.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000075But government support must translate into real opportunities for Filipino workers and filmmakers.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000076We should therefore examine how FDCP's program are benefiting independent filmmakers,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000077regional filmmakers, young artists, and emerging talents that only establish names in the industry.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000078Finally, the Philippine Racing Commission or FILRACOM.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000079For FILRACOM, the agency was given under the 2026 General Appropriations Act,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000080a total budget of 199.76 million pesos.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000082For fiscal year 2027, it is requesting a total budget of 202.85 million pesos.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000083The horse racing industry is not simply about betting or entertainment.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000084It involves breeders, trainers, jockeys, veterinarians, farm workers, racetrack employees,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000085and thousands of families whose livelihoods are connected to the industry.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000086Ibig sabihin po, nakapagbibigay po siya ng trabaho.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000087We therefore need to ensure that FILRACOM is effectively regulating the industry,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000088protecting the integrity of horse racing,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000089and making sure that the government revenues generated from the sector are properly accounted for and maximized.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000090I would therefore like to know whether FILRACOM proposed budget is sufficient to strengthen regulation,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000091improving monitoring, modernize its system,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000092and ensure transparency in the collection and utilization of racing revenues.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000096These four agencies operate in different sectors, but they face a common challenge.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000097The world is changing faster than our regulatory and support systems.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000098Horse racing is becoming more technologically driven.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000099Media piracy is becoming increasingly digital.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000100Television and film consumption are moving toward online platforms.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000101And the creative economy is becoming increasingly global.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000107Therefore, our budget deliberation should not simply ask how much money does the agency need.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000108We should ask more important questions like,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000109what will the Filipino people get in return for the budget given to you?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000110Every allocation must have a corresponding public benefit.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000111We need stronger accountability, measurable outcomes, efficient use of resources,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000112and programs that directly benefit Filipino workers, consumers, artists, and entrepreneurs.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000113At the end of the day, ang budget po ay hindi lamang numero sa papel,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000114buhay, trabaho at serbisyo publiko ang nakasalalay dito.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000115Kaya ngayong deliberasyon, I look forward to hearing from your agencies,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000116your respective offices, their concrete plans, their accomplishments, their challenges,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000117and most importantly, how they intend to ensure that every peso entrusted to them
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000118by the Filipino people will be put to good use.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000119Maraming salamat po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000120Okay, on that note, let us proceed with the briefing proper.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000121For the orderly procedure,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000122we will have the following chronology of budget presentation.

MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000205This variance was mainly due to cases filed only in the last quarter of 2025,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000206which did not provide enough time for full resolution within the year.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio

MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000237a regulatory body, but is also a developmental agency.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000238Beyond classification, it plays a proactive role in advancing media literacy, responsible viewership, and industry growth.

MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000330Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000331We are open to answering the questions.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000332Okay. Well, I have
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000333several questions here for you,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000334Chairwoman.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000335First,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000336on online regulation.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000337If Congress expands MTRCB's mandate to online platforms, kasi po ngayon parang marami na pong lumalabas pag binuksan mo ang TV, may mga Netflix, et cetera, et cetera, social media and online games, is MTRCB ready technologically, financially and organizationally to assume that responsibility?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000338First, Mr. Chairman, I would like to emphasize that the MTRCB is not for prohibition but for regulation.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000339We will accept the challenge if the legislators would include the said online services, streaming platforms,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000340the subscription video on-demand services in our jurisdiction or our provision.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000341However, it would entail a lot of coordination with the said stakeholders, such as the OTTs, the over-the-top, and the online streaming services.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000342Kasi pag minsan, late at night, when I turn my TV, when I get home, I watch some movies.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000343Nakakagulat na lang, bigla na lang may kubot-kubot na babae dyan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000344And I didn't know that.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000345A young man, my son, behind me was like looking also.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000346So, I don't know.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000347Kung nangyari nga sa akin, maybe sa ibang mga household na wala naman kasing restriction when you turn on dahil subscription po yun.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000348So, yun po yung tinatanong natin, can we do something about it?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000349I mean, kaya nga, if we're given by Congress an expanded mandate, can you do it?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000350And when can you do that?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000351Mr. Chairman, if I may, it would be, yes, it would be feasible.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000352Yes, the MTRCB can do it.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000353But I would like to reiterate that it is only the regulation that we can do.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000354I'd like to clarify that the movies that will be exhibited in the online streaming platforms do not need to go through prior constraint,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000355which is what we are really pushing for, even in the past hearings.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000356I have observed.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000357Already mentioned, with regard to the online streaming and the subscription video on-demand services,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000358what we need from them is to establish a very effective feedback mechanism
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000359where they will commit to accountability and responsiveness to the MTRCB
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000360for when complaints are raised and expressed to the said online streaming provider,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000361their share.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000362So, there should be an answer.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000363There should be a commitment that they will work on these concerns
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000364and that they're very much willing to help the MTRCB.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000365Currently, we are working with Netflix and HBO and Disney,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000366and they've been very cooperative.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000367I'm happy to share, Mr. Chair.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000368However, with the rampant problems that we are facing today,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000369I think it is faced globally.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000370We really need to reiterate that this regulation,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000371as possible,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000372but we would need their cooperation and their coordination as well.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000373All right.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000374Because my concern, ma'am,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000375is the growing violence in schools right now
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000376because kids are watching online games,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000377yung access po nila sa mga online games.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000378Do you have any steps to address this?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000379Kaya pa paano?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000380Though you don't have these powers yet,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000381which are being linked to violent online games and violent content,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000382yung nangyari po sa Samwanga,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000383I mean, isang online game po yun na nire-record pa nung bata yung shootout na yun,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000384may steps po ba kayo?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000385Are you already talking about this?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000386How do you, your agency, will control this?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000387And I don't know if OMB can also help us on this matter.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000388Sure.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000389Currently, Mr. Chairman,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000390it is not under the purview of the MTRCB
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000391with regard to online gaming and video games
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000392as it is a totally different structure from what we are currently doing.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000393But we have explored
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000394and we are continuing the discussions on this exploration.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000395And I would like to yield to the Executive Director of the MTRCB
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000396for the reporting of the exploratory researches we've made.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000397Thank you.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000398Senator,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000399as regards violence in social media,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000400while it is a different area,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000401because MTRCB, as we are saying,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000402we are involved only in sa content, no?
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000403And unfortunately, online contents,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000404hindi pa rin sa amin.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000405But there are studies globally
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000406regarding this violence in media, in social media.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000407One of them is the,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000408do not amplify regulatory principle for social media,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000409which means we can,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000410as a country,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000411can create policies that require major platform
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000412to address algorithmic amplification of violent content,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000413recommendation of increasingly extreme material,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000414autoplay of violent videos,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000415viral circulation of graphic violence,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000416monetization of violent content,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000417and recommendation of violent material to minors.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000418If there will be a law
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000419na hahawakan ang iyong mga social media na ito,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000420we can tell them na dapat hindi naka-autoplay ang mga violent content
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000421sa mga materials natin.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000422Dapat hindi, kung pwede, hindi ma-monetize.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000423Because sa totoo lang,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000424isa sa mga,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000425sa mga motivation ng mga content creators,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000426syempre, mamamonetize yung gagawin nilang content.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000427If these videos, at yung mga violent videos,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000428sex videos, ay made-demonetize,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000429I think, mababawasan yung mga ganong materials.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000430And then, yung algorithmic amplification,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000431we can tell Meta or other social media platforms na
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000432automatic, walang algorithmic amplification,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000433automatic walang recommendations,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000434especially sa minors.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000435Automatic block sa minors, yung mga ganon.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000436We can also introduce a stronger protection for minors
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000437by safety by default for minors principle.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000438Yun nga po, as I said, a while ago,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000439violent content should not be algorithmically recommended,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000440graphic content should be age-gated.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000441Autoplay.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000442violent content should be
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000443disabled. Accounts should
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000444have stronger privacy settings.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000445Live streaming should have enhanced
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000446safeguards. Repeated
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000447exposure to violent content should trigger
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000448additional safeguards.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000449There are also studies
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000450about or push for
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000451creation of violent content
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000452emergency protocols
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000453in some countries.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000454This would be particularly
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000455useful in the Philippines for events
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000456such as mass shootings,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000457terrorist attacks, hostage situations,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000458riots, and
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000459other
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000460violent contents or
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000461incidents. Platforms
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000462should have emergency escalation mechanisms
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000463with government
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000464authorities.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000465We should treat live streaming
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000466differently from ordinary posts
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000467because
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000468the harm happens before
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000469traditional moderation
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000470can respond.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000471Pwede mangyari.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000472May mangyaring hindi maganda kaya
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000473we should treat live streaming
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000474differently from regular
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000475video posting.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000476Again,
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000477yung pong established
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000478platform accountability
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000479kailangan po natin
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000480i-implement
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000481or pwedeng gawing policy.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000482So this is your study.
MTRCB Executive Director Roberto Diciembre
asr-000483Understudy po ito.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000484Unless you will be given

MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000513Committee is with me now.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000514However, I'd like to answer the question
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000515first.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000516The MTRCB has its own monitoring
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000517inspection unit along with our
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000518deputies and the board members who go around the different cinemas and we do our monitoring
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000519inspection consistently. That helps us identify the violations or the violators,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000520especially in the cinemas. But we also do our own inspections around the country wherein we go
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000521to the different communities and identify the unregistered cable companies as well.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000522Okay. Sa non-display or innocent display permit to exhibit,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000523what are the common violations encountered during monitoring and inspections?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000524Unregistered cable companies, Mr. Chair, fake, tampered permits to exhibit.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000525Okay. Isa pa ho yung medyo kontrobersyal na nai-palabas na po sa online. Ito pong
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000526Lost Sabungeros. Does the MTRCB have the authority to refuse to review a film because
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000527its subject matter is allegedly subjudice? Or is the board's mandate precisely to review the material,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000528determine whether it violates the law, and then give it to the appropriate classification?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000529Because if you refuse to review the film in the first place, aren't you preventing the producer
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000530from exercising the very appeal process?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000531So, what are the policies that the MTRCB supposed to provide?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000532Mr. Chairman, first of all, yes we are in the process of reviewing our reassessing our processes.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000533However, I just want to clear this up. That regarding the Lost Sabungeros movie,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000534the board consistently reviews each and every material that is submitted to us carefully.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000535And it would not be detrimental to...
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000536nor a disservice to the Filipino viewers to ask for additional requirements consistent with our subjudice rule
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000537because this is only an exercise of prudence for an administrative agency that is a regulatory body as well.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000538Okay. Dito naman po tayo moving sa live television shows.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000539Following the recent It's Showtime controversy yung memory mar segment,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000540what concrete measures po is MTRCB implementing to prevent violations during live broadcast para hindi na po maulit din ito sa ibang mga program
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000541rather than simply penalizing programs after the fact?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000542With regard to Showtime and this question, Mr. Chairman, I would yield to the Chairman of the Committee on Adjudication, Attorney Jojo Salomon.
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000543Good morning, Senator.
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000544As regards to the memory mar segment,
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000545we called the production for an adjugatory hearing.
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000546And in that hearing, we discussed how they can prevent this from happening again.
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000547And in so doing, we required them to assign a compliance officer who would monitor their program as it airs.
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000548So this compliance officer will be the one responsible to the MTRCB.
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000549In case of live violations.
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000550And also, we required them to undergo a compliance seminar,
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000551which we do to all violators of MTRCB rules.
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000552We conduct compliance seminars and we teach them how to avoid violating the rules of the MTRCB.
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000553And we inculcate in their minds that the importance of following the rules is not really to avoid penalties,
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000554but to ensure that we...
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000555protect viewers from
MTRCB Board Member Antonio Ricardo ?Jojo? Salomon Jr.
asr-000556inappropriate materials.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000557If I may recall, when I was
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000558still on TV, when we had
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000559a program before,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000560may plan ng
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000561MTRCB, I know it's not during
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000562your watch yet, na parang
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000563pag mga live programs,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000564gagawing Tape Us Live para yung
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000565first segment, mapanood na
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000566ng mga
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000567sensors natin.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000568Makita na maiwasan kung nagmura,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000569kung ano, parang
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000570Tape Us Live. Natuloy ba? Whatever happened to that?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000571There was a plan. I think several years
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000572ago na, okay, entire
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000573program, one-hour program,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-00057415-minute segment, unahin na
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000575Tape Us Live para mapanood
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000576din ang MTRCB and then go. I think
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000577nagawa din dati yun. Pero whatever happened
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000578to that? Mr. Chairman,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000579that's something that I did not
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000580encounter during my term
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000581in the MTRCB.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000582However, these
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000583are suggested
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000584as well to
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000585the live shows. But it's not up
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000586to the MTRCB. We cannot
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000587impose on the producers
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000588and the shows on the
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000589type of permit that they want, whether it be
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000590taped or lived or Tape Us Live.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000591It would be on them.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000592Do you have control o meron po ba kayong policy na for example, bisita, guest or viewer doon sa studio, nakita ng host, lalaitin, pangit, bungi, duling, etc., pagtatawanan pero bibigyan ng premyo? Is that proper?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000593I mean, yung tao, siyempre, nakikisama, natutuwa din pero nagiging tuksuhan, finufocus, pilay, bulag, duling, bingi, itim, etc., etc. Parang nilalait yung tao. What is your take on that?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000594The MTRCB disapproves of such behavior and they are consistently reminded. We have compliance seminars for the shows and the hosts as well.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000595Taken care of by their own production, their respective productions, Mr. Chairman. However, it is already in the process with the MTRCB that they have their own continuing workshops with, no, we have our continuing workshops with them so that they are reminded.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000596Because we also cannot take it away from them, in fairness to the live television programs, that this is something...
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000597that they are used to because they do it every day.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000598But as a chairperson, maybe it's okay with that person na tinutukso. But for others, na viewer, na baka may anak siyang gano'n, may asawa siya, may kapamilya siyang gano'n na offend.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000599So how do you balance that?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000600O, nakikisama yung audience, di ba? Kakatuwaan. But then again, pag yung nanunood sa bahay, meron siyang...
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000601Anak na kapareho, nilalait, tinutukso, putot, itim, bungi, buduling. How is that?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000602We call their attention, Mr. Chair. And then, yes, perform the workshop, perform the compliance with them. They are reminded as well.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000603And these are, I'd like to reiterate that we do not tolerate, the MTRCB does not tolerate. We are trying very hard, Mr. Chairman, to preserve our Filipino cultural family values.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000604I understand sa overseas, yung mga stand-up comedy, masking yung viewer, nilalait. Pero when it comes to these shows na general patronage, mga bata, nakikita, di ba?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000605So it's really different. Sa mga stand-up comedy shows, hindi naman po, may rating po yata. Pag may mga stand-up comedy shows tayo, may mga rating po yan. Unlike sa mga live shows na ito, wala po yata.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000606So kaya nga yung dapat yung...
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000607So kaya nga yung dapat yung mga host will be reminded to watch out na may mga children po nanonood during the live show.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000608Anyway, moving forward, I have a few more questions, Chairperson Antonio.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000609How much is the current balance of this sinking fund? At paano po ito nagagamit ng MTRCB kung hindi po ito tineturn over sa Treasury?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000610Currently, Mr. Chairman, I'm happy to share that we have reached 641 million in our sinking fund.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000611This is from our own revenue, and it just stays there. This is a special fund in the general appropriations, in the general fund, in the National Treasury.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000612To be able to access...
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000614To be able to access or utilize the sinking fund for the MTRCB, to access or utilize the sinking fund, it is subject to the approval of the Department of DBM.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000615Okay. Isa pa po napansin ko kanina during your presentation na you said you exceeded your target revenues. What years that was? 2025 going to 2026?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000616Every year, Mr. Chairman.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000617Every year.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000618You exceed our target.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000619You exceed.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000620Who sets the target for revenues?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000621The DBM sets the target.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000622The DBM.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000623Well, that's very good. Very good answer.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000624Lastly po, lastly, what are the budget wish lists of the MTRCB that this committee may prioritize?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000625First of all, Mr. Chairman, I would like to request for the increase in the board compensation.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000626As you know, the board reviews hundreds.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000627And thousands of materials every year on a daily basis.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000628I have consistently made both active and documented efforts, Mr. Chair, in my four years of being a chairperson of the agency, to request for the increase in their board compensation.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000629However, the reason that we got from the DBM is that we would need a legal or a statutory basis.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000630For this to happen.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000631Well, we'll see about that.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000632What about the expansion of office?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000633Yes, you would need an extension of the MTRCB office.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000634My staff already in the office.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000635Lahat po ba? Sorry, Mama.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000636Lahat po ba kayo nag-office doon sa Timog, Quezon City?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000637Sa maliit na three floors na building.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000638In fact, my staff are already in the hallway.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000639We came up with desks, makeshift desks, outside my office in the hallway just to make everybody fit.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000640Okay. Is that all?
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000641Yes, Mr. Chairman.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000642In preparation for if ever there will be an expansion, we would need an advancement in technology or the AI equipment,
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000643which we could further study after research.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000644Thank you.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000645Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000646All right.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000647Since there being no other questions,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000648the fiscal year 2027 proposed budget of the movie and television review
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000649and classification board is now being submitted for plenary consideration,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000650subject to the discussion submission of requested documents.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000651The MTRCB delegation is now permitted to leave the room.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000652Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chairman.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000653Thank you.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000654Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
MTRCB Chairperson Diorella Maria ?Lala? Sotto-Antonio
asr-000655Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000656The hearing is suspended.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000687[unclear] We will be presenting a short briefing on what transpired during the Optical Media Board. Okay, first slide please. As we all know, the Optical Media Board was created under Republic Act 9239, in which the OMB is mandated to promote the protection of intellectual property rights, specifically copyright, by regulating the mastering, manufacturing, importing, exporting, distribution and selling of optical and magnetic media.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000688When we say magnetic media, ito rin po yung mga, ano, yung mga hard disk drive na nasa computer natin, as well as its technical variations thereof. Okay. The vision of the Optical Media Board is an economy which is free from optical media piracy, wherein there is a level playing field for all legitimate players. Of course, our mission is to promote and protect intellectual property in digital form.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000689At present, the OMB?s mandate is sixfold. First is the permits and licenses. Second, we are also empowered to conduct proactive inspections, and to act as complainant, and to hear and resolve administrative cases, and create and maintain a database of licensed media and establishments, as well as establish support offices when necessary. For our fiscal performance as of last year,

asr-000699we have received a total revenue of P52,060,911.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000700This is an increase and for the record,
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000701it's also the highest revenue earned by the Optical Media Board.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000702For financial performance,

asr-000704as of June of 2026,
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000705our total revenue is P29,911,099.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000707for this, I don't know,
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000708but this is of course for the half of the year yet.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000709For registration and licensing,
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000710as seen in the graph,
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000711from 2023, which was P6,709,
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000712in 2024, it decreased to P6,309,
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000713and then in 2025, it increased to P6,730.

OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000729Okay, next slide please.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000730For the physical performance as of last year for December, we note that again our enforcement has conducted pre-inspection
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000731and as well as actualization.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000732If you note by the chart, on January, there was still no inspection conducted since there was still a question as to my powers then
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000733because I'm just the officer in charge of the Optical Media Board.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000734When we received clarification from Malaw Kanyang of our powers, we have conducted inspections from February up to December.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000735Please take note that we have achieved 3,724 which is beyond what we expected.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000736As of this year, as of June, our enforcement division has conducted 1,855 inspections for this year.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000737Okay, as of June.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000738Okay, next slide.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000739As you note, as seen in the chart, the yellow section is that of the...
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000740Expired licenses which is amounts to 14.56% and those with licenses is the blue chart in which it amounts to 14.93%.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000741A wide sector of that is still without licenses for physical piracy in which is compromised 70.3%.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000742Okay, next slide please.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000743As of the COVID-19...
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000744Endings, we have implemented eight which are fully resolved.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000745We've also have five partial implementation and are in progress or in going.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000746And we have some delayed implementation which is three.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000747And we have not implemented basically disposal because we don't have an executive director in the office and the powers of the government are limited.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000748Okay, next slide please.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000751As of now...

OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000755As seen here, on February 21, 2021, then-honorable Sen. Jean-Claude Estrada has filed a bill seeking the abolishment of the Optical Media Board and the transfer of our powers to the FTCP.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000756Likewise, on January 5, 2026, nagkaroon po ng special session po dito for the winding down, and on January 8, 2026, then Sen. Gatchalian, who's now our Senate President, has proposed for the abolition of the OMB and a transfer of our functions to the Intellectual Property Office.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000757Hence, on February 11, we had conducted a Committee on Public Information and Mass Media, and on February 23, we have already established our Change Management and Placement Team in order to know our future of our employees po.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000758And on...
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000759On May, we have also conducted several meetings with our FTCP counterparts, with the Civil Service, as well as with the DBM, in order to ensure the smooth transition of our employees on that matter.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000760And on June, as of this year, on June 2, we have met with the DBM on that part regarding our winding down po.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac

OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000762On the agency's winding down plan, from February up to June of 2026 review, it was stated that the agency's, the CMPT of the agency proposed for the abolition of the office.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000763Because we know or recognize that we cannot, we are limited in our powers to curb physical...
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000764...digital piracy under our current laws, kasi po, ang alam po ninyo, aside that the Optical Media Board, which our predecessor was the VRB, dati po, if everybody knows, si dati po, bete maksasaka VHS po.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000765Tapos nung nagkaroon ng mga CDs, inamend po ng law, naging OMB.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000766Now, as we all know, this is a digital format, that's why we recognize that we are severely restricted in our...
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000767...digital piracy under our current laws, kasi po, alam po ninyo, aside that the Optical Media Board, which our predecessor was the VRB, dati po, if everybody knows, si dati po, bete maksasaka VHS po.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000768Now, as we all know, this is a digital format, that's why we recognize that we are severely restricted in our law, nakakahinder po sa performance namin yung batas namin po.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000769So, for that, for our personnel, we have a permanent staff physician, because out of the 93 positions, we have 45 warm bodies in our office.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000770And we have also around 10 job orders to assist us in our daily-to-day functions.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000771Right now, we are...
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000772While we had talked with the DBM personnel last week, we are awaiting the recommendations, and of course, well, since...
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000773Sir, I'm sorry, OIC Pinla.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000774Yes, sir.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000775Didn't you inform the DBM na you guys are winding down na the budget given to you last year is supposed to last for three months?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000776Hindi po ba, when they asked you for your ikang budget proposal, didn't you tell them that,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000777Secretary, DBM, we're supposed to wind down this year, thereby, we should not be submitting any more budget?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000778Because what we're doing here, and you already know pala, na magkakaroon po kayo ng your employees will be transferred either to the FDCP or IPO.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000779Bakit po kayo nag-submit? Didn't you inform the DBM na we're winding down, Secretary?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000780Kasi kahit to kami, we're waiting for the reply.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000781Okay.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000782So, I don't know kung alam ba ng DBM, were they informed, pero the mere fact that you submitted the budget proposal for 2027,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000783baka hindi ho ninyo na-informed sila, pero we informed you, the Senate informed you last year, that the funds given to you for this year is for winding down.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000784Ano nangyari, sir?
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000785Chairman, we have informed po yung DBM po, yung winding down po.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000786Actually, we have submitted our position paper po.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000787To them nung August 7, and we have been very transparent po dun sa aming coordination with them, sir.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000788I'm not blaming you.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000789I was just wondering what was the reaction or the reason given by DBM na nabinigyan pa po kayo ng budget for next year.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000790I know it is not your fault.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000791Yun nga lang po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000792So, I was kind of wondering kung nasabihan nyo ba sila na,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000793Mr. DBM,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000794Secretary, kami po ay, this is supposed to be our last year, dahil kami po ay i-absorb ng either ng FDCP, yung aming personnel, or IPO.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000795Did you inform them about that?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000796Yes, sir. We have informed them.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000797Okay. Do we have the resource person from the Department of Budget and Management?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000798There you go.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000799Director May Pina, what is going on in here?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000800Last year, Senate President, well, hindi pa siya Senate President, Finance Chair po po si Senate President Wingachelyan,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000801who defended their budget last year, and specifically, sinasabi niya na ito pong budget for last year na ibinigay sa OMB,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000802and he was the one who defended it, is for winding down.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000803Why did you guys give budget to OMB?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000804Eh, alam po ninyo na they're winding down.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000805I-absorb po sila ng, kung hindi ng FDCP, ang IPO po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000806Why is that?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000807Weren't you informed?
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000808Good morning po, Mr. Chair.
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000809The DBM is informed po.
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000810Actually, it's in the special provision po of the OMB sa JA po natin, 2026.
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000811But it was mentioned po kasi in the special provision that,
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000812that,
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000813the OMB will still be,
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000814subject to the GOP po,
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000815the Government Optimization Plan po,
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000816optimization program po of the government po that time.
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000817So, while waiting for the results of the GOP po,
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000818we provided the Tier 1 po for the OMB,
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000819just in case po, hindi po kasi matuloy siya or maresolved po within the year for 2027,
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000820meron pong magagamit ang OMB, specifically, lalo na po sa personnel services po nila.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000821My next question is, bakit tumaas pa po?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000822Kung winding down na po sila.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000823From GAA 47, nagdagdagan, well,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-0008246 million po, 2027 NEP.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000825What is the reason behind?
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000826NEP level lang po.
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000827Yung nag-increase lang po sa kanila is the PS po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000828Personal services?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000829Dagdag-dag po sila ng tao?
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000830NEP level lang naman po, Mr. Chair.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000831Oh, NEP level.
DBM OIC Director III May L. Piñga
asr-000832For the PS po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000833Okay.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000834All right.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000835Thank you.
Senator Erwin Tulfo

Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000838Director.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000839Done with your presentation, Sir Dennis.
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000840I think our chief from the admin would like to add also a comment.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000841Go ahead po.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000842Good afternoon, Mr. Chair.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000843Before we end our presentation, Mr. Chair, beyond our day-to-day operations and budget proposals,
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000844we must respectfully place on record the agency's pressing operations,
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000846and administrative concerns regarding the special provisions mentioned earlier on the winding down of the optical
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000847media board under the FY 2026.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000848While the FOA 2026 appropriate at 47 million earmark exclusively for winding down operations,
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000849This provision has placed the agency in extraordinary operational and legal Limbo.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000850While the special provisions directs the winding down of the agency,
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000851The Republic Act No. 9239 remains substantive, unrepealed law. The pending abolition measures, Senate Bills 991 and 1654, are still pending in the legislative mill. As demonstrated by our frontline data, piracy and illicit hardware importations have not disappeared. They have modernized. In 2026 alone, our team conducted over 1,850 inspections and collected nearly 30 million in revenue.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000852As brought to light in our May and June 2026 multi-agency consultations both with DBM and CSE, full implementation of personnel placement and asset turnover is on hold, awaiting clear executive guidance.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000853Until the formal issuance of the executive order or the legislative resolution on the pending bills, the OMB must be granted adequate operational flexibility and budget headroom.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000854Mr. Chair, we earnestly manifest...
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000855...critical need for a proper, dignified, and seamless transition of our personnel.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000856The prolonged ambiguity surrounding our absorption and security of tenure has understandably taken a heavy toll on the morale of our employees.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000857These are dedicated civil servants who continue to exceed performance targets, process thousands of licenses, despite the looming uncertainty of our livelihoods.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000858We appeal to this honorable committee to support in ensuring AUM's integrity.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000861Our 2016 but concerned main transition plan safeguards our welfare and career security before budgetary or operational phaseout is finalized.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000863Mr. Chair, thank you so much for your time, guidance and continued support of our agency.
OMB Administrative Chief Janine Joyce G. Sison
asr-000864We are now ready to answer any questions the Committee may have.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000865Mr. Memnun bin Loc, how many employees do you have total?
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000866Right now, Mr. Chair, we have 45 warm bodies in our office.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000868Forty-five warm bodies!
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-000870Out of a plantilia of 92.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000871So yung regular po natin is how many?
OMB OIC Chairperson Dennis Lorenzo B. Pinlac
asr-00087245, Your Honor.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-00087345? Okay.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000874This is the reason why we're saying, Janine, Miss Janine, na the plan is not to just abolish the OMB, na yung mga tao palayasin lang natin.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000875No, we're also considering the fact na these people have families too, right?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000876And that's the reason why we're saying and we have to prepare the Film Development Council of the Philippines.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000877Either they will be, pag-uusapan nalang po ng Senate and Congress.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000878Magkaiba po kasi yung bill natin, namin, ng Congress.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000879Sa amin po, sa FDCP po kayo ilalagay.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000880Sa Congress naman, sa IPO, Intellectual Property.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000881Tama naman po kayo habang hindi pa po na re-reconcile po yan, hindi pa po na pag-uusapan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000882Kasi siyempre tuloy lang po yung trabaho ninyo.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000883And then, of course, kailangan ninyo...
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000884diyan din ang salary, magsasweldo,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000885din naman pwedeng pasok kayo ng pasok
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000886na ala kayong sweldo.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000887We do
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000888understand that.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000889Yung alam po kasi may mga questions,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000890hindi lang po si Sen. Gatchel, yung mga ibang
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000891kasamahan ko po, di po ba, si Sen.
Senator Erwin Tulfo

asr-000893maging si Sen. Robin Padilla, meron po
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000894nga ika nga objections or
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000895hesitations. Pero ito po yung kasi
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000896sinasabi, sir, na
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000897time has changed.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000898Kaya kayo po ay na-create
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000899because of mga
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000900CD, DVDs,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000901Betamax. We don't
Senator Erwin Tulfo

Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000904po sa internet, I can watch
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000905movies o dito sa cellphone ko.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000906Hindi nyo rin kasalanan yun. It's not
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000907your fault. Nobody's blaming you.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000908What we're saying here
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000909is that we have to move forward.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000910And moving forward, ayaw din namin
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000911kayo maiwan. Kaya nga po,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000912we have a bill. Senate has a
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000913bill. And Congress has a bill too.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000914Pero kailangan nun namin i-reconcile
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000915saan ba kayo ilagay?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000916Sa IPO? Dahil intellectual property
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000917yung sinasabi nyo na patuloy ninyong
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000918ginagawa, diba?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000919Or ilalagay namin
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000920kayo sa Film Development Council
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-000921of the Philippines? We don't
Senator Erwin Tulfo

FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001204please. Just
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001205for the breakdown of the 2027
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001206NEP approved budget,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001207so for that, for
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001208the 314 million,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna

asr-001210is allocated for
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001211our

asr-001212general administration and support
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001213covering the OOE and the
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001214personal services. So basically
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001215that's for the maintenance of the building, supplies
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001216and other operating expenses.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001217And then for the operations of the
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001218programs and projects,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001219we have a total of 250
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001220and out of that
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001221amount, 20 million,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-00122220.1 million is allocated

FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001224And 230 million,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-0012250.4 is allocated for the
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001226MOE, which covers
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001227for the incentives that we are providing
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001228for our filmmakers, capacity building
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001229initiatives such as training labs,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001230and then other assistance and support,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001231as well as the salary of our
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001232COS personnel. We would like to note also that
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001233we have 146 personnel right now
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001234and 97 personnel of that are under the contract of service or
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001235JO status.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001236And the next
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001237is for the Film Heritage Preservation
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001238and program, which is basically
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001239for the archiving.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001240We have a total budget of 8.4
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001241million and
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-0012422.2 of that amount is
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001243for the personal services. And the MOE
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001244is 6.2 million. The 6.2
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001245is just allocated for
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001246maintenance of vaults and of
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001247our presentation equipment.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001248It does not include a budget
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001249for restoration of films, which cost 2 to 5 million per film,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001250depending on the status of the reels or the films that will be restored.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001251And then for the RLEAP or the automatic appropriations,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001252we have 2.6 million budget for next year.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001253Next slide, please.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001254This is just the breakdown of the budget per division or per section of our program.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001255Again, for the personnel services, we have 38.3 million.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001256That's across from general administration, the FIPDP,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001257or the Film Industry Promotion Development Program,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001258and the Film Heritage Preservation Program.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001259And then we also have a budget of 45.6 million for GAS.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001260And again, 37.3 million for the salary of...
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001261of our COS personnel and other mandatory expenses.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001262So it's taking a lot of our budget in terms of implementing of our programs.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001263And then for the Education Division, we are allocating 21.2 million.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001264For Festivals Division, this includes our support for our regional film festivals
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001265and participation of Filipino filmmakers and FDCP for international film festivals.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001266And then for the Exhibition Division, we have 12.2 million budget.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001267Basically, this is for the operation of our four Cinematheques and the OneFlix application, streaming platform.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001268And then for the Film Philippines Office, we have allocated 58.3 million budget.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001269This is the biggest chunk among the budget because this is the incentive programs that we provide
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001270in promoting the Philippines as a filming location for foreign production.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001271And then for the Production Support Unit, we are allocating 51.6 million.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001272This is also...
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001273This is the second highest for the budget allocation that we have for all the programs of FDCP.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001274Again, this is a production incentive.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001275And then these two programs, the Film Philippines Office and the Production Support Unit,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001276given that they have the biggest chunk of the budget,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001277they are also giving us the most economic return ratio,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001278ratio meaning that...
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001279for the incentives that we are providing for the Film Location Incentive Program,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001280there is a 1 is to 13 economic return ratio,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001281which means for every 1 peso grant that we are providing, 13 pesos goes back to the economy.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001282Those projects are purely foreign projects that are shooting here in the Philippines.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001283And then for the projects that are co-produced by Filipino producers,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001284the economic return ratio is 1 is to 16, meaning for every 1 peso that we provide as grant,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-00128516 pesos goes back to the economy.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001286And then for the local production grant that we are providing,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001287there is a 1 is to 6 economic return ratio,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001288meaning 1 peso grant, 6 pesos goes back to the economy.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001289So the local film production really has benefits in terms of our economic growth.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001290And then other divisions, the Office of the Chairman and the OED,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001291as well as the Special Projects Unit,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001292we have a budget of 6.5 million.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001293And then for the Policy and Planning Division,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001294we have 6.5 million budget.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001295For the Communications Unit,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001296we have 1.8 million budget.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001297And again, for the Philippine Film Archives,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001298you only have 6.2 million budget.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001299And a total of 276.94 million budget for the MOOE of the agency.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001300So that's it for the breakdown of our 2027-F approved budget.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001301And of course, we have a wish list.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001302So basically, we have cut down some of our programs
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001303that are already growing.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001304And hopefully, we could be able to have some of these be granted.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001305On the list is the film incentives.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001306We have a request of 109.8 million.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001307That's for the backlogs because the incentives that we are providing to our grantees are in tranches.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001308So the 109 million accounts to the second and third tranches of the grants.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001309And then for the 2027 Film Location Incentive Programs,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001310we would like to request additional 120 million
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001311because it's expected that we will be releasing around 120 million for five projects,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001312which could bring in half a billion pesos in the country for their shooting here.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001313And
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001314next is for the film licensing for Interagency Program and Philippine Embassies Program.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001315We are requesting 1.1 million because we are also supporting our posts abroad
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001316when they conduct Filipino film festivals or other cultural activities that are related to film.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001317And of course, purchase of production equipment accessories for our Cinemathèque amounting to 1.1 million,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001318as well as projectors for our Cinemathèque amounting to 1.1 million.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001319And then we have quite a lot of requests.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001320So we also have requested 895,000 for our Cinemathèque Center Programming,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001321World Day for Audiovisual Heritage and Pelikula ng Bayan Caravan,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001322documentado in Asian cinema.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001323So we would like to highlight that the Pelikula ng Bayan activity is basically,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001324we are going around different towns.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001325and cities in the country to showcase various films,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001326particularly classic films that we have restored.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001327And then the Cine 50, we are requesting additional 1.5 million.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001328This is showcasing various films at a lower price of ticket amounting to only 50 pesos.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001329And then additional value of 11 million for features,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001330film love, documentary love,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001331bring in here Filipino,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001332and festival town hall meeting and engagements amounting to 1.7 million.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001333And OneFlix Cinemathèque Integrated Marketing Promotions, 2 million.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001334OneFlix Anniversary and Films for Peace Short Film Competition, 1 million again.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001335And then for the Group 2 list of our wish list.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001336So the first request is amounting to 451,000
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001337for the procurement of preservation supplies
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001338and 551,000 for the procurement of digitization equipment and photo scanner
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001339because with the advent of continuous growing of technology,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001340we really have to update and upgrade the equipment that we have
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001341for the preservation and archiving facilities that we have.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001342And another 50 million for the restoration of 59 titles
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001343for 2027.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001344So we have already identified films that we can restore in 2027.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001345So these are of historical importance to the country
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001346and some of it really necessitates or time of the essence
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001347because the film is already deteriorating.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001348So the total amount request for the Film Heritage Preservation Program is 51 million.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001349And then lastly for the General Management Services,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001350we are also requesting additional 2 million
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001351for the distributed antenna system for Philippine Film Heritage Building
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001352because as it is right now, there is no signal in the building.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001353And we usually have events because we have a Cinemathèque in the building
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001354so we are bringing in a lot of people, students in the area
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001355and we don't have signal because it's a dead spot.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001356And another 2 million for the quality ISO certification
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001357because we are hoping that the agency would be ISO certified as well.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001358And then hopefully we could also come up with another behind the reel
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001359CISO next year amounting to 3.2 million.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001360It's important because it allows the young generation of filmmakers
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001361to have access to discussions among key personalities in the industry
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001362or pillars of the industry.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001363Next is a 1.5 million request for the procurement of the humidifiers
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001364for Cinemathèque centers.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001365It's because the building design requires us to have the humidifiers
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001366because right now because of its design,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001367it grows a lot of molds whenever we have this rainy season.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001368So we are also requesting additional 1.5 million for that.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001369So a total of 8.7 million for the GMS or the General Management Service.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001370Total breakdown for the wishlist that we have is 311 million pesos.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001371And I would like to pass on the floor to our chairman.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001372Just some points of clarification why the Cinemathèque
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001373Oh, I'm sorry.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001374Just a point of clarification why the Cinemathèque.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001375The Cinemathèque are micro cinemas which are located in various provinces.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001376There is one in Bacolo, there is one in Iloilo, and there is one in Davao.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001377But then we hopefully will be able to build more Cinemathèque before 2028
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001378when this administration would have to step down
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001379being coterminous with the present administration.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001380Why the Cinemathèque?
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001381Because these are not only venues for showing films
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001382but it has become also a cultural hub
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001383for regional filmmakers to get together
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001384and have their activities in these various venues.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001385So it's almost an imperative, it's almost a need
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001386for, you know, to provide the venue for regional filmmakers
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001387as well as cinemathèque
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001388to see the problem
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001389to see the problem of digitalization.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001390I've done over 100 films as a director
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001391and I've come to realize that maybe 80% of them are already dead films.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001392Because if you allow these, especially those shot in cells as negatives
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001393the level of deterioration is very quick.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001394Now, unless we are able to preserve these, to digitize these
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001395and preserve these immediately
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001396we might even lose more films.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001397What is so sad is some of the masterpieces we have restored
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001398were not recovered here in our country but abroad.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001399So these are some major priorities.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001400We also have a priority, Mr. Chairman, in terms of incentives.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001401Mapakatotoo na tayo na hindi natin kayang pantayan ang incentives
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001402na binibigay ng ibang bansa dahil sila ay mas mayaman
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001403at ang gobyerno nila ay mas may maluwag na magbigay ng pera
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001404para mahingkayat ang mga tao na mag-shoot sa kanila.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001405Ang ating tanging panlawan lamang ay magagaling ang mga Pilipino
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001406sa kanilang ginagawa at tayo ay nagsasalita ng wikang Ingles.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001407Kaya mas madali para sa foreigners na pumunta dito.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001408Ang laki-laking economic benefit kapag nagsushoot dito ang mga foreigners.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001409Why? Number one, hindi lamang yung mga tao sa pelikula ang kumikita.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001410May exchange of technology.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001411At ikalawa, ang daming ancillary businesses na nakikinabang
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001412tuwing may nagsushooting dito.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001413Wishful thinking ito na sana mas matulungan at sana mas madagdagan
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001414ang incentives na magbibigay natin.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001415But we're also being very realistic in terms of the priorities of the government
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001416as to where they would put the tax pay.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001417Mr. Chairman, let me cut in.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001418Could it be?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001419Could it be na incentives lang kaya hindi tayo makapaghikay?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001420Or there may be other reasons.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001421Are you also looking to the fact na maaring peace and order
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001422kaya ayaw pumunta dito ng mga artista or political turmoil
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001423na medyo turn off para sa kanila, na medyo magulo tayo dito,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001424nag-aaway, may mga kinasuhan ng mga opisyal ng gobyerno.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001425Couldn't be some of those are some of the reasons kung bakit
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001426na turn off sila.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001427Bakit ako magsushoot dyan?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001428Rally dito, rally doon, sigawan dito, yung vicepresidente nila nandoon,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001429kinakasuhan, yung mga opisyal nila nakakulong, ilang mga miyembro na senado,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001430et cetera, or I would siguro prefer a place na kamukha na Pilipinas pero tahimik,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001431like Thailand, tahimik siya.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001432E dito lang tayo kaysa baka mapunta tayo, madamay tayo sa gulo.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001433Hindi niyo ba naisip yan na maaring hindi lang doon sa incentive?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001434Ano?
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001435Naka-factor in na rin po yun.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001436Naka-factor in po yun dahil ang perception ng mundo sa Pilipinas,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001437lalo-lalo na sa ngayon at kung ano-ano ang lumalabas sa balita
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001438at hinahighlight ng balita ay isang factor yan.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001439Pero ang napaka katakataka, hindi naman katakataka,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001440ang lalo nakakalakas ng loob, Mr. Chair,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001441is na dito pa rin sila pumupunta.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001442Okay, in spite and despite, dito pa rin sila pumupunta.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001443Pero hindi po natin mapapagkaila na ang perception nila ng Pilipinas
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001444ay a very big factor in not only in the movie industry
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001445but the entire business setup.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001446Okay, naka-factor in po yan.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001447Okay.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001448Okay, my next question will be
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001449yung hinihingi po ninyong proposed budget na 425 million, ano po,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001450pero 314 million lamang nasa NEP.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001451At meron pa kayong 311 million na sa wish list.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001452Alright, so,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001453if kukumputin ho ninyo yan,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001454parang bakit po umahabot sa 625 million
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001455ang inyong total funding requirement
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001456kung 425 million lamang ang inyong original proposal, Ms. Rachel?
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001457Actually po, one is for the film restoration.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001458The team who's handling the restoration has submitted us their proposal
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001459which is amounting to 50 million.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001460Just recently, when they were able to identify,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001461the titles.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001462And that was even before the budget call of the DBM
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001463was conducted early January or January this year.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001464And then for the additional budget, again,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001465is from the incentives
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001466because the cycle 2 opened last September
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001467and several film productions,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001468both for foreign and local, have applied.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001469And they're all good projects.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001470And based on their application,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001471again, they are spending a lot here in the country.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001472So, we're just wondering if we can give more
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001473or we can accept more applications
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001474and approve their applications for the incentives
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001475because they might look for another country
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001476or alternative country if we don't give that incentives to them.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001477We just finalized the deliberation last month.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001478So,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001479those budgets are factored in in our wish list that was presented earlier.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001480If I can add to that, Mr. Chair,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001481kasalanan ko yung isa yun sa preservation
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001482kasi pinahanap ko kung ano pa yung mga magagandang pelikula
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001483na maa-access natin na pwedeng ma-restore.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001484And it takes time to find all these
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001485until we came up with a list na,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001486ay, ito pa lang, restorable.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001487Kaya hindi na-factor in yun sa una.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001488At sa kakalawa, maganda po yung problema na
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001489ang dami-dami nag-a-apply
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001490na kumuha ng mga grants and incentives
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001491to be able to shoot here in the country
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001492and at the same time
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001493to have Philippine film workers
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001494join in in these productions.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001495So, it's a good problem
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001496which eventually became a budgetary problem.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001497Going back to film restoration,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001498how does the FDCP ensure
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001499that restoring a project or a film
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001500is technically feasible and cost-effective
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001501before public funds are allocated?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001502Baka di naman natin mabawi.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001503Baka wala nang,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001504yung mga interest,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001505yung mga black and white,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001506naging brown and white,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001507may manunood pa ba noon?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001508Hindi na kilala ng mga kabataan ngayon,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001509mga nangamatay na yung mga tao na yun.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001510And baka boring yung sa inyo,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001511mga film directors, of course.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001512Meron po kayong keen,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001513may eye po kayo na maganda ito.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001514Pero sa ordinary viewer,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001515lalo mga kabataan ngayon,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001516mga Gen Z, Gen X, Gen Y,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001517eh, hindi sa kanila ikang kaakit-akit.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001518I'll answer.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001519I'll answer that in two points, Mr. Chair.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001520Firstly, before we restore a film,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001521we make sure that the film is still restorable.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001522Okay?
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001523We have technical people assessing
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001524the state of the negative
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001525or the state of the print
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001526if it is still accessible
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001527or it is still restorable.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001528There are certain cases in which
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001529the film is just so damaged
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001530that we don't pursue it anymore
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001531because it's going to cause an arm and a leg
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001532and your next reincarnation
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001533in order to completely restore it.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001534Ikalawa,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001535about the new generation
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001536appreciating old films.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001537I will use an example of what happened
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001538last September 4
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001539at the opening of the
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001540Philippine Film Industry Month.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001541For the first time,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001542ang mga Gen Z at Gen Y and Gen X
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001543napanood ang tinimbangka,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001544ngunit kulang.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001545At nagulat sila.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001546Pero, Mr. Chairman,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001547hindi kayo, baka mga yung nanood na yun
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001548ay mga estudyante
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001549na mga ang courses nila
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001550ay nasa film.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001551Ay, ay, hindi po.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001552Hindi po.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001553It was a real cross-section of people.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001554And as a matter,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001555a real fact,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001556may mga request kami
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001557to show the film commercially.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001558Okay, to make it more accessible
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001559in commercial cinemas.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001560Kaya lang,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001561ito, ang tragedy niyan,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001562yung arming agreement
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001563sa showing ng tinimbang
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001564has to be non-commercial.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001565Kasi hindi na pag-aari ng Pilipinas
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001566ang tinimbang.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001567Pag-aari na ito
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001568ng isang French company.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001569And for order for us
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001570to be able to show it,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001571we need permission from them
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001572and the permission requires
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001573it's non-commercial.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001574So we can only show it
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001575in cinematext
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001576or special festivals.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001577Pero meron pong clamor.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001578Meron pong clamor.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001579Noong in-announce namin
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001580na ipapalabas ang relasyon
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001581ni Vilma Santos
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001582at ni Christopher De Leon
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001583by the national artist
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001584Ismael Bernal,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001585the excitement was just electric.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001586Even in cinematext,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001587I would greatly attribute it
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001588to the fact that
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001589sa Intermoros,
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001590we're right in the hub
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001591of various schools.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001592Never na bakante ang cinematext
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001593at ang mga bata ang nanonood.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001594At ito yung mga bata
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001595na hindi lamang nag-aaral ng pelikula
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001596but these are students
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001597of various disciplines
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001598who are interested
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001599in watching a free movie.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001600Okay?
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001601And we're showing them classics.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001602Yes.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001603Right.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001604Sir, nabanggit po ninyo
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001605yung cinematext.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001606How often do we use this?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001607Kasi you're saying na
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001608we have to construct more.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001609Eh kung once a year lang po gamitin,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001610baka masayang naman.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001611Eh bakit hindi na lang
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001612mag-renta lang tayo
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001613ng isang sinihan dyan
Senator Erwin Tulfo

Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001764if this is feasible?
Senator Erwin Tulfo

FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001778In fact,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001779Mr. Chair,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001780when the GAAR
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001781was,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001782when we received
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001783the GAAR,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001784as early as January,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001785we had a consultation
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001786meeting with OMB.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001787We checked on their
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001788manpower resources
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001789and how it would be
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001790aligned to our
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001791manpower as well.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna

FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna

asr-001802investigators,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001803intelligence officers
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna

FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001805would not be relevant
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-001806to FDCP.

asr-001955posted on the DBM website, as of June 30, 2026, around P127.671 million from the 2025 GAA has not yet been released to FDCP.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001956What is the reason for the delay?
DBM OIC Division Chief Evita D. Fontanilla
asr-001957Yes, Mr. Chair. For the unreleased balances, this will be subject to the submission of the special budget request po from the FDCP
DBM OIC Division Chief Evita D. Fontanilla
asr-001958prior to the release of the OMB.
DBM OIC Division Chief Evita D. Fontanilla
asr-001959So, yun pong balance po, out of the P127 po, we received po the request from the FDCP for the release po nung a total of P109.25 million po.
DBM OIC Division Chief Evita D. Fontanilla
asr-001960Out of this po, yun pong P15 million po is already for approval and release na po.
DBM OIC Division Chief Evita D. Fontanilla
asr-001961And then po yun pong P7.9 million po will be subject to...
DBM OIC Division Chief Evita D. Fontanilla
asr-001962further evaluation po and coordination po with the FDCP for the submission po of other supporting documents po to address some inconsistencies in the submitted supporting documents po.
DBM OIC Division Chief Evita D. Fontanilla
asr-001963And then po yun pong P86 million po, we just received the request po last September 3 and we already ongoing evaluation po.
DBM OIC Division Chief Evita D. Fontanilla
asr-001964So, as of this date po, ang remaining balance na lang po na wala pa pong request
DBM OIC Division Chief Evita D. Fontanilla
asr-001965kaming na-receive is 18 million na lang po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-00196618 million for the 2026?
DBM OIC Division Chief Evita D. Fontanilla
asr-001967For the 2025.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001968For the 2025?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001969Hindi ba kailangan ninyo, Chairman Reyes, yung 18 million?
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001970Kailangan, kailangan po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001971Bakit po marami kayong budget ah?
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001972Hindi po. Bukas sa bukas po, i-request na namin.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001973Panguling katanungan na lang, Sir.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001974Can you do something about it, about this?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001975May mga ilang po mga kasambahay na sa lubong ko kahapon sa subdivision.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001976Sabi ko, saan kayo pupunta?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001977Sa Kuanho, Sir, manunood kami ng sine.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001978Sabi nung isa, kaso napakamahala ng ticket po ngayon, ng sinihan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001979Doon lang po kami nagde-date nung driver ng kapitbahay din nila.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001980E paano ito? Can we do something about this?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-001981Medyo mahalo eh. Medyo pataas ng pataas eh.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001982Totoo po yun. Dahil kasi ang foreign firms, sumaabot 400.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001983Pag nasa IMAX ka pa, 4 digits na binabayad nyo.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001984But we already talked to some of the foreign firms.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001985We already talked to some of the foreign firms.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001986We already talked to SEAP, that is the Cinema Exhibitors Association of the Philippines.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001987Binabaan na nila ang Filipino films.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001988Ang ginagawa ng producer, kinakausap ang cinema exhibitors at naibababa.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001989Right now, it's going at around 200 to 220 to 270 as compared to 400 sa foreign firms.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001990Pero mataas pa rin yun kung tutuusin mo.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001991Kung sa regular minimum wage earner, hindi po ba?
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001992Pero yun lang ano eh.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001993May limitasyon yung pwedeng pakialam namin dahil that is a private entity eh.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001994Hindi kami pwedeng makaka-
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001995We also asked the DTI to help us with this.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001996Pero limitado yung powers namin to intervene.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001997But in fairness to SEAP, they're trying to cooperate.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001998As a matter of fact, September 12 po, which is tomorrow, lahat ng sinihan 100 pesos.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-001999Yung Philippine Cinema Day.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002000Whether it is foreign or local, 100 pesos.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002001Nag-agree sila.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002002But these are of course exceptions to the rule.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002003Kaya rin po may program kami yung Pilikula ng Bayan.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002004Nagpapalabas kami for free sa mga open spaces, sa mga LGU endorsed spaces.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002005Para makapanood tulad nung kabataan ko, nanonood ako ng sine sa basketball court.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002006Okay.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002007Kaya rin po ba yung pag-i-inspect sa mga sinihan na yan or is it MTRCB?
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002008MTRCB po yan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002009Na ikang conducive pa rin na pag may sunog, maka-exit yung mga tao.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002010MTRCB yan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002011Ah, kasi nung bata ako, nakapunta ako, nanonood ako ng pelikula.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002012Paglabas ko, kamot ako ng kamot, ang dami na palang surot.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002013Yung iba naman, munti ako nadulas.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002014Pagpasok ko sa sear, napakadulas dahil yung pelikula po, X-rated, Susmar Yosef.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002015Kaya mabuti, wala ko nakita mga tiyanak ko doon.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002016Trabaho nyo ba yung kaninong trabaho yan na yung sinihan maganda pa rin naman?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002017Na yung worth yung binabayad mo?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002018Okay.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002019Kaya lahat po yan, ang City Engineer's Office ang in-charge doon.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002020Ang sa MTRCB, yung mga himalang nagaganap sa loob ng sinihan.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002021Dati po, may mga raid pa po ganun.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002022Oo.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002023Yun yung mga...
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002024Dalawang tao, yung isa walang ulo, yung isa...
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002025Yung dami yung nahuhulim na mga players.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002026Dami rin po yan.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002027Kamisang po sa comfort room, apat ang paa, hindi ba?
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002028Kaya lahat po yan, trabaho po yan ng mga deputy ng MTRCB.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002029At saka yun naman sa structural, sa City Engineer's Office.
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002030Kung...
FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes
asr-002031Lalo po yung mga fire exits.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002032Yeah.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002033Apo, importante po yan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002034Alright, okay.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002035Anyway, sir, last na lang po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002036Ang absorption po ng FDCP sa OMBI under the special provision po ng GAAP.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002037Batas na po yan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002038Hindi ba dapat sundin na?
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-002039In as much as we want, Mr. Chair, pero we are also bounded by the Optimization Act,
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-002040Government Optimization Act.
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-002041So, ang advice din po ng DBM at CSC, we have to go through the submission of...
FDCP Executive Director Rachelle Villaluna
asr-002042the optimization plan and then they will have a hearing for that and discuss if there's really a need for the FDCP to absorb the personnel of OMBI.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002043Alright, thank you.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002044Well, since there are no more questions from this chair, the fiscal year 2027 proposed budget of the Film Development Council of the Philippines now being submitted for plenary consideration subject to the discussions and submission.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002045of requested documents.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002046Thank you.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002047The FDCP delegation is permitted to leave the room.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002048Thank you, po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002049Thank you, po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002050Hearing suspended.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002088We now proceed with the presentation of the proposed budget of the Philippine Racing Commission.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002089Chairman de Leon, please proceed with your presentation and thank you for patiently waiting.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002090Dr. Edwin, Mr. Chair, salamat sa opportunity for us to present our budget for 2027.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002091As we all know, Philippine Racing Commission created 52 years ago by Presidential Decree No. 420 by President Marcos Sr.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002092So, we are mandated to provide employment to the Philippine people and generate taxes for the government.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002093So far, we are providing more than 5,000 direct and indirect employment to the Philippine people.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002094And at the same time, we are also producing OFW to Japan, Australia, and other parts of the country.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002095As of now, there are more than 2,000 OFW in Japan alone.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002096That came from the Philippine horse racing industry.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002097So, we are mandated to provide government revenue every year.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002098At the average, for the last five years, we are providing 700 million to 800 million per year to the government.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002099The budget that is being given to us by the government is only one-fifth of the total revenue that we are giving.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002100If they give us 200 million, we are returning 800 million to the government.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002101So,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002102we are mandated to supervise the horse racing, at the same time, the breeding industry in the Philippines.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002103Horse racing in the Philippines started 159 years ago.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002104So, we are ahead of some other nations in Asia and worldwide.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002105This is the only industry or sports industry that is accepted by more than 140 countries worldwide.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002106So,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002107as we observed in the last five years when we traveled to other conferences in the Asian Racing Federation,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002108International Federation of Horse Racing Authority, and APAR,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002109we found out that horse racing is really the only sport or one of the very few sports in the Philippines that can be converted to a sports tourism industry.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002110So, all sectors,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002111you know,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002112IPO observed,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002113from the King of Saudi Arabia to the different royalties in Europe, are all into horse racing.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002114So, we are left behind, Mr. Chair, for so many years.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002115Napabayaan po ito ng mga nakalang administrasyon at hindi nakita yung potential nito.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002116To give you an example,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002117right now,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002118Japan,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002119in terms of peso sales per year,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002120is selling 1.3 trillion pesos per year.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-0021211.3 trillion pesos per year.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002122While Korea, right now, is selling 700 billion pesos per year.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002123So, we are of the same number in terms of horses as of Korea.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002124If they are selling 700 billion pesos a year,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002125and we are just targeting 10 billion so far,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002126napakalayo po ng depensya.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002127May I intercut you there, Mr. Chairman?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002128Could it be the reason why mahina po ang sales natin?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002129Kasi yung mga off-track betting stations natin ay hindi masyadong kagandahan ng lugar.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002130Unlike in Japan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002131I've been there to Japan, talagang malalaking building po.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002132Tama po kayo.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002133Exactly. Air-conditioned.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002134Ganon din po sa Korea.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002135Sa atin po dito, yung OTV.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002136Diyan sa isang karinderiya.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002137Tama po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002138Na napaka-init.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002139Manunod ang TV.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002140Ganito kalaki lang po.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002141Tama.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002142Kailangan po mag-television.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002143Teleskopyo.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002144Para mapanood mo.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002145Tama po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002146Pagkatapos pagbayaran, nakasimangot pa yung kahera pag nanalo.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002147May tao po ako dati.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002148Yun ang trabaho.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002149Nagkakarera tuwing hapon.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002150Nagrereklamo dahil napakahaba pa ng pila.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002151Doon po, systematic.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002152Pag saksak mo ng card, pag nanalo, bayad sa iyo.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002153Dito.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002154So I think there's a big difference.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002155Kaya gusto mo mangarera,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002156ay ang karinderiya, ang sinaserve lang po, beer.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002157Eh hindi ko, paano kung hindi umiinom ng beer?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002158Tama po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002159Tapos minsan, meron pa ho dyan sa may Quezon City.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002160Yung sahig ng karinderiya, lupa.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002161Dahil pag binaha, pagkuhan, maputik.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002162Tama po.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002163Tama po, Mr. Chair.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002164I think we have to ikang up naman, upgrade po,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002165yung mga, paglalagyan natin ang mga off-track betting stations po natin,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002166yung mga OTDS, Mr. Chairman.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002167Mr. Chair, tama po lahat ng observation n'yo.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002168Nakataon lang po na ang Philippine Racing Commission
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002169is not a,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002170our duty to approve the OTB application
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002171and the regulations of OTB operations.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002172It is being, actually, handled by GOV.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002173GOV, Games and Amusement Board.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002174Pero for the last five years po,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002175nagpupumilit po kami na itaas ang antas ng OTB.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002176Nakita po namin yun.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002177At ngayon po, unti-unti po nagkakaroon ng improvement.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002178Meron po kami mga OTB ngayon na umabot ng 100 square meter
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002179that can accommodate at least 60 to 80 people.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002180And they are actually equipped with a big TV like what we have today.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002181And air-conditioned and properly supervised.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002182Kami na po yung nakikialam ngayon.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002183Last week po, may nadaanan pa nga ako dito sa Maynila.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002184Parang sari-sari store lang.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002185Nanonood.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002186Iipon yung mga tao dun sa, nanonood sila sa labas nung tindahan po eh.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002187Tapos, kaya po, nagkakaproblema tayo.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002188And is it true?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002189Hanggang ngayon, marami pa rin po yung mga ika nga illegal na mga nag-ooperate pa ng illegal OTB.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002190Meron mga runner, yung mga bookies kung tawagin.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002191Mukhang kinakain po yata yung sales ng mga bookies sa...
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002192sales po ng mga OTBs natin,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002193Mr. Chairman?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002193-split-2Tama po, Mr.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002194Tama po, Mr. Chair. Actually, last year,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002195we have 5.7 billion sales
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002196last year. This year, we will be having
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-0021976.8 billion sales this year.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002198Ang OTB po,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002199actually, katulad na sinabi ko
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002200kanina, pinamahalaan po ng
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002201GameCenter News Board, more
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002202GAV. Sa dami po ng trabaho ng GAV
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002203ngayon, more than 80 na yung NSA
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002204na hawak nila, hinihingi na nga namin
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002205po yung OTB operations. Sabi ko,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002206bigay na sa amin para makasikaso namin.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002207At nakikita namin, yung kailangan
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002208ng industriya, i-upgrade po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002209What will it take para ibigay na lang
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002210sa inyo dahil yan naman po
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002211yung mga OTBs niyan, under po sa
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002212Racing Commission, karera po
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002213ng kabayo, di ba?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002214Hindi naman po boxing yan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002215Kaya I'm wondering,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002216bakit po napunta sa kanila yan?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002217Dapat po dito po sa Phil Racom
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002218yan, yung karera po, di ba?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002219Tama po. Pero yan po
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002220pinakailangan ng dating administration.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002221Kaya nga, what will it take para
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002222makuha ho ninyo?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002223The approval of the lawmakers.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002224Approval of the lawmakers.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002225Is there a bill pending before
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002226this, the Senate or
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002227Congress to request
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002228a transfer of the operations
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002229of out-track betting stations?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002230Kasi kung maganda po ang ating mga
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002231OTBs yung pwesto, mas marami
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002232pong mananaya.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002233Kung sino po, executive,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002234racing aficionado ako,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002235pupunta ba ako niya sa carinderia,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002236mga katabi ko, mga tricycle driver,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002237mga karpintero, ako naka-barong
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002238o naka-amerikana,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002239wala pong magandang kustahan,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002240tayaan, hindi ka magtatambay doon.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002241So ang gagawin mo, kukuha ka na lang
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002242ng mga bookies.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002243Doon ka na lang sa bookies.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002244Tumaya, imbis na income ng gobyerno,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002245napunta sa bookies.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002246Tama po. Actually, presently po,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002247mayroong House Bill sa Congress,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-0022489386, creating

asr-002251na gawing Philippine Racing Corporation.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002252So pa nangyari po yun,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002253mapupunta rin po sa amin yung OTB.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002254Tama po kayo,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002255sasabi nyo na sa Japan,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002256building po ang OTB, hindi po sa carinderia,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002257building po, at nakakarpeted.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002258At meron po sila mga automated machines
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002259na pwede ka tumaya, makubra mo kagad.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002260Well, aircon, may mga receptionist,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002261talagang pan-tourist.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002262Ito nga, ito po ang
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002263nag-iisang sports, if I may say,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002264na pwede natin gawing
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002265sports tourism industry.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002266Nadarating ang time, parang F1 na ito ng Singapore.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002267Nadayo rin tayo para
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002268maulad ng karera.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002269For the last 3 years po,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002270nagsara po yung Macau
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002271at yung Singapore, dahil
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002272yung gobyerno nila, kailangan na nila
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002273yung lupa para sa karirahan.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002274Malakas po ang karera nila, kaya nang nagsara sila,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002275wala silang lupa. So,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002276kinumberte nila sa bahay, kinumberte sa hospital.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002277Tapos isa pa, Mr. Chairman,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002278napakalayo ng karirahan natin.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002279Nasa Batangas yung isa,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002280yung isa nasa Cavite. Sino
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002281namang tagpulano ang pupunta roon?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002282Ordinary yung
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002283vetor na wala naman sa sasakyan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002284Magkocommute siya, papunta sa Cavite.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002285Pupunta sa Batangas para
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002286manood siya live.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002287Dati po, medyo marami po tayong mga
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002288manunood dahil nandyan
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002289lang po sa Santa Ana.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002290Isa nandun po sa San Lazaro.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002291Ngayon, doon na sa Cavite,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002292sasakay ka ng bus.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002293Yung isa doon sa Batangas,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002294yung mga may-ari na lang ng kabayo ang manunood.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002295Kaya po, tinitingnan ko nga sa TV,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002296parang kukunti na lang.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002297Big time na lang po pupunta roon.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002298Actually, pag may mga steak race,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002299maabot pa naman ng 5,000 to 10,000 na nanonood.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002300Ngayon, pag regularize, tama po kayo.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002301Kukunti pa nanonood.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002302Nakataon po yung mga nakarang may-ari
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002303nung karirahan.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002304Inisip nila yung realty na
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002305pagkakakitaan. Actually, kasi yung lupa,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002306tumataas ang value sa Manila.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002307Naibibenta nila ng billion
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002308yung kanilang property.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002309At tatayo sila sa
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002310Batangas. Kaya naman po sa Batangas
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002311ginagawa yung karira. Unang-una po,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002312yung climate conducive sa mga kabayo.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002313Kailangan po ng kabayo na at least
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-00231428 degrees centigrade para
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002315maganda po yung kanilang kalusugan.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002316Yung pinakahuli pong sinara
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002317na karirahan sa Carmona-Cavite,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002318ang balita po namin,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002319nabenta ng 7 billion sa Ayala
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002320ng mga reyno.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002321So, yun po yung dahilan.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002322Financial economic reason po.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002323Anyway, tama po yung observation nyo.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002324Dapat po siguro mag-improve talaga
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002325yung OTB operation.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002326Kung maaari po mailipat sa amin sa lalang madaling panahon,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002327yung gab na lang po, kung pwede,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002328iwan na lang namin sa gab yung
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002329police matters. Hindi po kami
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002330tumatanggap ng confidential pan. Sila may
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002331confidential pan na natin ang gab. Sa kanila
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002332na lang po yung police matters.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002333Yung paghuli sa mga bukis,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002334iwan na lang po namin sa gab yun.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002335Kung nakain po ng bukis,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002336ang sales share ng
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002337mga OTBs, they're cutting up.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002338Kasi nga po, imbes na
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002339tumaya po
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002340pupunta doon sa isang karinderiya,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002341isang sari-sari store,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002342isang bukis na lang. Pupunta pa sa bahay mo,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002343opisina mo, tayaan mo ako ng ganito.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002344Yung bukis, may dividend daso pa na
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002345libre. Dito, ito, ito, ito.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002346Tapos pabalik. O sige, sir, nanalo ka.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002347O sir, natalo ka. Taya.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002348Sa next na, sa race 8 na po tayo.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002349Ganito.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002350Saka may porsyente po yung bukis eh.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002351Pag tumaya ka po ng isang libo,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-0023521,100 lang pwede mo itaya.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002353Ganun po yun eh. Sige po, go ahead. Continue with your
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002354presentation, sir. I'm sorry for cutting you in.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002355Kagaya na sinabi namin,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002356kami po yung member ng Asian Racing Federation
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002357na meron 28
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002358prestigious countries all over the world.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002359Member din po kami ng
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002360IPA, na meron 60
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002361countries na talaga
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002362ng mataas na quality ng
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002363horse racing.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002364Three years ago, nag-member po kami ng IPAR.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002365Ito po yung International Forum for the
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002366After Case of Horse Racing.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002367So, pagkatapos po ng pagtagbo ng kabayo,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002368karir nila, binibigyan po namin sila ng
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002369panibagong buhay.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002370Hindi po namin pinakakatay. Bawal po magpakatay
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002371ng kabayo sa amin.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002372Kaya sa mga kabayo na disgrasya,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002373di ba ginagawang tapa?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002374May kilala po ko,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002375kumakain po ng kabayong tapa.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002376Hindi po namin tinotolerate
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002377yung pagtatapa
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002378ng kabayo.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002379Ang minumungkain namin sa mga horse
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002380owners, pag namatay yung kabayo, ay ipalibing
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002381yung kabayo. Marami namang kasumusunod.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002382Meron po ako nung may mga,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002383nagdala pa nga po minsan dito
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002384ng tapang kabayo eh.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002385O daba po ng baka,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002386o yung pala,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002387kalabaw.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002388Ano pala, kabayo.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002389Hanapin ko nga ako yung nagdala nun dito.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002390Anyway, meron din po kami
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002391ng campaign na, Mr. Chair,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002392para sa Responsible Gaming Campaign.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002393Ang unang-una, bawal tumaya
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002394ang mga bata sa ating mga
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002395OTB or actual
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002396na karera.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002397Yun po ang problema, Sir.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002398Yung sinasabi ko, yung mga bookies.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002399Kahit mga bata, binatilyo,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002400tataya po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002401Karamihan sa kanila, mga llamado
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002402para madoble. Hindi naman dodoble ang pera
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002403pero sigurado. Tataya po
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002404ng mga ikang
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002405porcas, trifecta.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002406Yun ang tinatayaan nila.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002407O dobol
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002408sa llamado. Nananalo naman
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002409kasi mas malaki ang chances mo rather
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002410than sa dihado. Di po ba?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002411Kaya yun po siguro bantayan natin.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002412Paano natin
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002413makawasan na yung mga makabataan,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002414sa off track,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002415bawal. Dahil hanapan ng ID.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002416Pero sa mga bookies,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002417tanggap po ng tanggap ang bookies. Minsan nga po
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002418yung mga tatay pa po naguutos
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002419sa mga anak nila, punta mo si
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002420Cardo doon sa kapitbahay,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002421magtaya ka doon.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002422Mr. Chair, meron po akong proposal
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002423para sa mga bookies. Kung mamarapatin
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002424niya po, baka po
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002425pwedeng i-coordinate natin po sa
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002426DILG.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002427Ang barangay po, 42,000
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002428barangay sa buong Pilipinas, under po
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002429ng DILG yan. Yung mga
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002430yung mga nagbu-bookies po,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002431nagbibigay lang po ng 500 piso yan
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002432sa barangay captain o sa barangay
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002433kagawad para makapag-operate siya
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002434sa mga barangay.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002435Makakatanggap po sila ng letter
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002436or notice from the
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002437DILG na nalaman namin
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002438na may bookies sa barangay mo. Ihinto
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002439po yan. Definitely, hihinto po yan.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002440Saan makialam ang DILG?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002441Minsan po, yung mga kagawad natin
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002442sa mga probinsya, yung po yung
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002443time, nakapag-office po sila.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002444Yung ID dito, barangay123, sa
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002445kabila, Pilracom, nakalagay.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002446Pagpapatan po yun.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002447Tanggap po ng taya.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002448Tama ka po, sir, mga safeguards
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002449para maiwasan
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002450yung mga minor at government
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002451employees. Bawal
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002452po yun, di ba, from participating
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002453or exposed to horse
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002454racing gambling. Actually, meron po kaming
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002455CCTV sa lahat ng karirahan
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002456at karamihan po sa OTB, meron na rin
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002457CCTV. At so far, wala
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002458naman pa kami nahuhuli na government
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002459official na
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002460nagkakarera sa ngayon.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002461So, yun po, yung
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002462suggestion ko po sana,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002463kung mapapakiusap po natin
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002464yung DILG na tumulong sa
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002465GAB para sa police power
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002466ng illegal
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002467betting sa karera. Yun po yung solution dun.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002468Nakita na po namin. Kaya lang, wala po
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002469kami ang police power sa Philippine Racing Commission.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002470Regulation lang po kami ng karera.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002471So, sa GAB siguro.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002472Iwan na po sa GAB yung gano'ng
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002473trabaho po. Completely. Pag nalangin
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002474sa amin yung OTB para mapaganda namin yung OTB,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002475yun po yung recommendation
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002476namin. Anyway,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002477as I mentioned,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002478from 2020
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002479up to 2025,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002480we have continuous increase in sales.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002481Nung pandemic po,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002482nahinto
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002483ang karera ng 6 months, pero nakapag-revenue
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002484pa rin kami ng 344 million sa
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002485gobyerno. So, up to
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-0024862025, nag-increase po kami
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002487every year ang aming contribution.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002488Last year, 837 million
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002489ang aming contribution.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002490This year, papalok
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002491po kami ng 950 to 1 billion
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002492this year with a very limited budget
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002493of 199 million.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002494So,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002495as I mentioned,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002496yung House Bill 9386
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002497baka po pwede niyong silipin na
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002498Mr. Chair at makasakaling
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002499supportahan natin para mapalagoy
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002500yung karera. Napakalaki na po nung
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002501difference between sa
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002502Asian horses, horses sa
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002503Pilipinas. Kung mapaparis tayo
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002504kahit kalahati lang ng Korea sa ngayon,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002505pero walang kabahay natin eh. Three times a week
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002506lang nga karera nila eh. Pero nagbibenta
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002507silang 700 billion pesos. Kahit
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002508300 billion lang mabenta natin.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002509So, meron tayo mga 25 to 30
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002510billion na may bibigay sa gobyerno.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002511Kaya po yan kasi, mapapansin
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002512niyo po, sa Asia,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002513sa Pilipinas po ang pinakamaraming
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002514casino. 75
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002515kasino rito. Ang Korea
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-00251632 lang kasino ng Korea
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002517pero bibenta silang. So baka andito na
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002518yung mga magbebet eh. Andito na sa Pilipinas eh.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002519It's a matter of
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002520adjusting some taxes
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002521for the winner.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002522Tataya na yung mga tao. Andito na po yung mga
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002523beto sa Pilipinas mismo. So
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002524kung ma-adjust yung nirequest namin na
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002525ibaba yung tax ng 5%, then
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002526tataya na lahat yan. At mamamatay
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002527po yung bukis pag binaba natin yung tax.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002528Yun po yung logic doon
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002529kaya nirequest namin.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002530Anyway,

PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002617nire-review po yan ng committee of
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-0026188 people. So, ando po

asr-002619yung mga commissioners, ando po yung mga FID
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002620personnel namin.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002621Lahat po nang hindi tinawagan

PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002627para imbestigahan yun.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002628So, para, for the last
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-0026295 years,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002630nakapag-ban na po kami ng hinete,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002631nakapag-ban na po kami ng trainers,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002632nakapag-ban na po kami ng handicapper, at marami na po kami
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002633na suspindi.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-0026341 year, 6 months, so lahat po ng
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002635violations, may corresponding suspension.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002636Ito ba ang dahilan kung bakit
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002637marami tayong mga
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002638jockeys na nasa abroad na
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002639sumasakay sa Hong Kong, sumasakay po
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002640sa Japan.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002641O sa Saudi, dahil suspendido sila dito sa atin?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002642Or mas malaki ang bayad sa kanila ang riding fee? Magkano na po nga po ang riding fee natin dito?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002643Nung nagsimula kami magmamuno ng komisyon, wala pong binibigay ang Philippine Racing Commission sa mga inete.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002644Nagde-depende sila sa mga owner ng kabayo para bigyan sila ng riding fee.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002645Ngayon po, actually ngayon, presently, nagbibigay kami ng 800 per ride.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002646Win or lose?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002647Win or lose.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002648Ngayon,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002649Nakaka-apat siya na ride, so 800 times 4.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002650Apo, ngayon, pagka-stake race po yan, pag 1 million ng premio, 1,000 per riding fee nila. Win or lose?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002651Meron po kami 15 million race, presidential gold cup, in the name of our president, 15,000 per ride doon.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002652At win or lose din po yun.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002653Ngayon, with our trust to digitalize our operation,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002654we ask all the jockeys to have their own,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002655ATM.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002656pagkating po ng Friday, nandun po sila sa ATM, kumukubra po sila doon before lunch.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002657So, the average income of the top 10 jockey today is,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002658yung 1 to 3 po, ma-average po sila 300 to 350,000 per month.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002659Yung nandun po sa 7, 8, 9, 10, 150 to 200,000 per month.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002660So, I think nabibigyan po namin sila ng,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002661gusto namin po humigis sa inyo,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002662ng audience, Mr. Kirno,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002663pagka after this, after this ano, after this.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002664Yung pagiging jockey po, I mean, it's a, ika nga, lucrative,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002665dahil mataas po yung 300,000, di ba?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002666Hindi po sila nakatapos ng pag-aaral,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002667nakapag-train lang sila dahil sa Philippine Racing Commission Academy,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002668at ngayon po ay nabibigyan sila ng ganyang.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002669Pero meron naman po yata, ika nga, weight and height standard po.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002670Meron po.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002671Hindi naman po pwedeng maging jockey na, kasi taas ko 5'11,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002672kailangan mo siguro eh, 5'4 yata pinakamatangkad mo dyan.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-0026735'2, 5'3, 5'4, tapos po yung weight kinakailangan,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002674pag mag-uumpisa kang hinete, 52 kilos pababa.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002675Ah, okay.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002676So, naintindihan po namin yung kanilang pinagdadaanan,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002677dahil ang kabayo po, 450 kilos to 500 kilos ang kabayo,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002678at kung 52 kilos na sila, sila yung rume-renda rin sa kabayo.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002679Hawak-hawak nila yung renda na nagkakontrol sa bibig ng kabayo
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002680para patakbo yung kabayo.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002681Tumatakbo ng 70 kilometers per hour sa open air.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002682Mahirap po yun, mahirap.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002683Mahirap po yun, nakatapak lang sila sa bakal na maliit.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002684So, yun po yun, pero nabibiyayaan naman sila.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002685Yung mga nag-upload po ng mga hinete.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002686Sa mga pag nag-na-disgrasya po, nahulog, nagkasakit, nabalian,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002687who pays for the hospitalization?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002688Meron po kaming insurance, no? Insurance.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002689At the same time, may incentive po ang Jockeys Associations of the Philippines.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002690Through the prices given, the share of prices given by Philippine Racing Commission,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002691nakaka-accumulate siya ng mga 12 to 14 million per year na kita nila.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002692Kung di sila gumustuhan ng dalawang taon, meron siya mga 25 to 28 million.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002693Ito po, kunwari na nahulog itong Jockeys, sino pong magsushoulder na yun?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002694Yung may-ari ng kabayo na sinasakyan niyo or Philracom ipapa-hospital po siya?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002695Yung pong insurance, meron ko agad 300,000 to 350,000 sa insurance.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002696Tapos yung pong sinasabi kong budget na nakukuha nila,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002697doon po rin sila kumukuha ng additional na budget para dyan.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002698Tapos yung mga may-ari po ng kabayo,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002699mga may-ayaman naman na may-ari, karamihan eh.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002700So nagbibigay din po sila.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002701Have you already addressed, sir, yung doubts ng mga bettors na may game-fixing po?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002702How do you address that? Aside from mag-iimbestiga kayo,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002703because uso-uso ito, about 10, 15 years ago,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002704somebody taught me how to bet dito po sa horse racing,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002705mga kasamahan ko dati sa media.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002706Alam na alam niya ko eh, ito, denia ito, ito, nag-usap itong dalawang jockey na ito,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002707kaya ganito, na paano ito?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002708I mean, nabawasan na ba yan?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002709Malaki na po ang kabukusan, comparado sa mga naka-down generation.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002710Dahil nga sa pagigipit ng Philippine Racing Commission,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002711pagbibigay ng suspension doon sa mga hinete,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002712na medyo naliligaw ng landas,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002713at nangihinayin mo po yung mga hinete na mawalan sila.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002714Kasi pag nasuspindi sila ng 6 months,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002715alam mo, 6 months, they're averaging 100,000 a month.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002716So, definitely, 600,000 for 6 months is a big loss to them and to their family.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002717Kasi meron na po tayong, actually, yung law para sa illegal, ano, illegal, no?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002718Game-fixing.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002719Game-fixing po.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002720Yun po yung pinaliliwag namin sa mga hinete,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002721mga trainers,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002722na pagka nahulihan sila talaga at nakaroon ng valid reason,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002723we are not just suspending them.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002724We are willing to elevate the case to the proper authority, the NBI,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002725for them to be filed a civil case to them.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002726Kaya doon po sila natatakot.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002727Naproba na po ng Senado yung game-fixing law, I think, 2 years ago.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002728So, yun po yung pinanalaban namin sa kanila.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002729Aba kayo magluloko, dahil ito po i-apply namin.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002730Hindi lang namin kayo sususpindi ng 1 year,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002731but i-elevate namin yung kaso,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002732doon sa proper government authority.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002733Nakikita niyo ba kung pinipigilan nung Jackie yung kanyang kabayo?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002734I mean, instead of largahan niya, pipigilan niya kasi usong-uso dati ang gano'n.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002735Sasabihin ng mga manunood, pinipigilan o pinipigilan nung Jackie yung kabayo?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002736Ngayon po, meron na po tayong introduced 3 years ago,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002737a drone shot, nasa taas po yung camera,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002738makikita po yung galaw ng siko, nung kabayo, nung hinete.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002739So, makikita. Kitang-kita po yun.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002740Nagka-close up po yun.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002741So, yun po yung implement na isa sa mga ginawa namin, yung drone shot.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002742So, nahihira pa rin silang pumigit o magpasara o magpaliko na alanganin.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002743Magnakitaan po yun, pinapatawag sila, motoprope po yun.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002744Yung mga nasa media po, sad to say,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002745nag-meeting kami ng mga ibang organizations, ng mga betors,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002746ang sabi nila sa amin,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002747Chairman, karamihan dyan, natatalo na ng 20 pesos,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002748mas maingay pa sa amin na tumataya kami ng 1,000.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002749E, hindi po natin maiwasan kasi,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002750nasa democratic country po tayo.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002751So, pinapaliwanag nalang namin sa kanila.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002752So, nagiging transparent kami sa kanila.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002753Yung state world report, pinapost namin sa aming social media.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002754At yung aming motoprope decision, binibigay din po namin sa kanila.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002755Sir, may we know the actions taken by Phil Racom on COA's findings,
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002756particularly your underutilization po ng breakage fund.
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002757Nagagamit po ba talaga ito ng Phil Racom?
Senator Erwin Tulfo
asr-002758Ano po itong breakage fund?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002759Yung breakage fund po, actually,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002760nama po yung tanong ninyo, napakaganda po yung tanong ninyo.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002761Yung breakage fund po, dapat po yan sa STAD farm eh.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002762Sa STAD farm allocation.

PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002764na nalipat po sa NAE,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002765ah, may utang pa po sa gobyerno yun, ha?
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002766Dapat yun. Hindi naman nila bibigyan sa Philippine Racing Commission po yun eh.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002767Bibigyan nila kung sino yung may hawak ng STAD farm.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002768So, yun po yun.
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002769Nasa, pwede lang po yung STAD book, yung STAD farm nasa bayi po ngayon,
PHILRACOM Chairman Aurelio P. de Leon
asr-002770sa Department of Agriculture.
