Here with us, Mr. Speaker, is the Secretary, the Undersecretary, and all the heads of the attached agencies of the Department of Finance,

asr-000672

headed, of course, by Secretary Frederick Go.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000673

Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, the Department of Finance stands as the central engine of our country's economic progress.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000674

Far

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000675

beyond the mere collection agency, it is tasked with the profound responsibility to architect our nation's fiscal policies,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000676

empower our local governments toward fiscal independence, and navigate our public sector debt.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000677

As emphasized in the President's Budget Message for Fiscal Year 2027,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000678

the government's fiscal strategy remains anchored on strengthening revenue generation

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000679

while ensuring that public expenditures continue to support inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000680

The government is working hard to meet the projected national revenue of 5.21 trillion pesos,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000681

equivalent to 15.7% of GDP in 2027.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000682

Mr. Speaker, this aggressive revenue mobilization is essential to our fiscal consolidation strategy,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000683

which seeks to deliberately reduce our national deficit from 5.4% of GDP in 2026 to 5.1% in 2027.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000684

and steadily down to 3.49% by 2030.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000685

Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, the Department of Finance's fiscal policy is deeply anchored

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000686

in the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028 and the Medium-Term Fiscal Framework,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000687

which seeks to create better jobs, increase people's income, and reduce the poverty rate to a single digit by 2028.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000688

We are already seeing the results of this strategic plan,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000689

through the Department's concrete accomplishments,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000690

particularly, Mr. Speaker, its continued robust revenue collection,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000691

which grew at an average of 10.54% annually from 2022 to 2025.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000692

In order to facilitate this, the proposed 2027 fiscal year total expenditure program for the Department of Finance

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000693

is 32.03 billion pesos, consisting of 28.64 billion pesos in new appropriations,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000694

and 3.40 billion pesos in automatic appropriations.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000695

This budget represents a 3.5% reduction from the current year,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000696

demonstrating that the Department is leading by example in fiscal discipline.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000697

Mr. Speaker, we must recognize that the proposed DOF budget accounts for only about 0.44%

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000698

of the proposed

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000701

trillion peso national budget.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000702

Nearly 4 out of every 5 pesos in this proposal go to the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Bureau of Customs.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000703

Against their combined projected collections of approximately 4.8 trillion pesos in 2027,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000704

their full-year allocations for tax and customs administration are equivalent to roughly 2 days

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000705

of their projected collections averaged over the year.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000706

The budget is strategically allocated with 77.6% of new appropriations amounting to 22.22

asr-000950

as far as the Department of Finance

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000951

is concerned, vis-a-vis the collection

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000952

of revenue versus that of the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000954

in the one, in the

asr-000955

ratio that I have already identified

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000956

to you, Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, which is

asr-000957

58.6%.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000958

So, we expect, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000959

we expect the trend downwards

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

based on the medium-term

projected, Mr. Speaker, because

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000967

magkaiba po talaga yung sa national government

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000968

Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, I think, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000969

what we have tried to classify here

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000970

is the national government debt

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000972

What I have presented to you earlier,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000973

Mr. Speaker, is the ratio

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000974

of debt-to-GDP in

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000975

2026 was about 58,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000976

5.48%, no?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000977

But it also remains

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000978

to be on track under the medium-term

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000979

fiscal framework

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000980

because of the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000981

thing that the DOF is

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000982

trying to come up with because we

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000983

also need to have the fiscal

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000984

consolidation. It needs to be in revenue collection

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000985

versus of the expenditure of our national

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000986

government, fiscal management,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000987

Mr. Speaker, Your Honors,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000988

which is entirely

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000989

up to

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000990

you know,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000991

in compliance with the medium-term fiscal

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000992

framework plan. So basically

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000993

what we are projecting here

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000994

is that all the data that's coming

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000995

in is also a consolidation

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000996

of data coming from the DEP-DEV,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000997

EBM, and the NEDA.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000999

Mr. Speaker, Your Honors.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001000

So, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001001

at the current rate, we could say,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001002

how do we describe it? We could say

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001003

that it is sustainable, is it

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001004

manageable based on all the data

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001005

and all the strategies that the

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001006

DOF is doing, currently

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001007

doing, or will

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001008

strategies that it will be implementing?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001009

Yes, Mr. Speaker, because actually

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001010

the international

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001011

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001012

because our level, our debt level remains

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001013

manageable, no, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001014

because in the year 2025,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001015

the national government debt

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001016

as you were asking

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001017

earlier, Mr. Speaker, is at

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001018

63.2%, no,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001019

of the GDP, while

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001020

the general government debt,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001021

finished at 56.8% of

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001022

GDP. Ito po'y well below

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001023

doon sa 70%

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001024

na international benchmark

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001025

set by the World Bank,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001026

no, for their sustainability.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001027

So, we can prudently say,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001028

Mr. Speaker, that it's still manageable because

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001029

it is way, way below

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001030

the 70%

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001031

international benchmark set by the

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001033

yung ating

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001034

pang-debt, no,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001035

is mostly incurred from

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001036

domestic, na, ano,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001037

domestic borrowings,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001038

no, as opposed to

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001039

the international borrowings, kasi

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001040

international borrowings is also susceptible

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001041

to international shock, currency rates,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001042

fluctuations. So, it's still

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001043

manageable, Mr. Speaker, because it's way, way

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001044

below the 70% international

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001045

monetary benchmark.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001046

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001051

sustainable nga ito? Madali naman po

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001052

kasing sabihin, diba, na sustainable,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001053

pero ano po ang mga ginagawa

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001054

natin given that interest

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001055

payments rise year

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001056

after year? So, it stresses

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001057

out yung ating

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001058

posisyon, so...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001059

Yes,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001060

part of making it sustainable,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001061

the debt levels, Mr. Speaker, is

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001062

number one, na-mention ko na nga po,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001063

the major source of our borrowing,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001064

is domestic, no, nasa

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001065

67.3%, no, and

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001066

also, 90%

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001067

of this is fixed, yung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001068

debt po, fixed interest rates, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001069

So, it is more manageable, and already

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001070

the government, through the DOF,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001071

can already projected what would

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001072

be the interests that we will

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001073

be paying, that we will pay from

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001074

this domestic

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001075

loan

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001076

sources, no?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001077

And the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001078

payment scheme, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001079

is a long-term

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001080

payment structure

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001081

ang pagbabayad po. So,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001082

in terms of management,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001083

in terms of having it sustainable,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001084

yung ating pagbabayad po,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001085

not necessarily

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001086

incurring a drastic

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001087

effect, or effect negatively

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001088

sa ating katayuan,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001089

we can

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001090

safely project

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001091

that this is sustainable

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001092

because of the fact that only

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001093

we rely on

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001094

domestic borrowing.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001095

Number two, it is also

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001096

that interest is fixed, so we already

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001097

projected the possible payment,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001098

and the scheme of payment is long-term.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001099

Hindi po yung pabilisan na pagbabayad,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001100

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001101

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That is in terms

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001102

of debt management strategy,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001103

ano po. Paggating po kaya

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001104

sa fiscal consolidation,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001105

ano po ang ginagawa ng DOF?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001106

Mr. Speaker, again,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001107

we already partially answered

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001108

the question, but let me also give

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001109

you the comprehensive

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001110

management

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001111

style and the answer in view

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001112

of the response that we will provide to the good

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001113

honorable interpellator. As far

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001114

as the fiscal consolidation,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001115

remains firmly on track under

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001116

the medium-term fiscal framework,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001117

Mr. Speaker, Your Honors. Again, the debt

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001118

to GDP ratio has consistently

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001119

dropped from 8.6, natandaan po natin

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001120

in 2021,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001121

meron po tayong debt to GDP

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001122

from 8.6,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001123

meron, bumaba po siya

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001124

in this current year, which is around

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001125

5.46 percent,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001126

Mr. Speaker, and we are still projecting

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001127

it to be lower in the coming

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001128

years.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001129

Ang ano po, ang very

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001130

we need

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001131

also to emphasize, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001132

that under this current

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001133

administration, meron pong strict

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001134

fiscal discipline, ang ini-enforce

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001135

po ng ating Department of Finance,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001136

all across agencies, para po

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001137

ma-prioritize yung kanilang

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001138

multa,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001139

yung high multiplier capital investments,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001140

and that would, again, generate

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001141

longer-term economic returns.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001142

So, again, this is

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001146

prudent fiscal management as to the revenue that we collected versus of that expenditures that the government will be spending.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001147

So that's how the Department of Finance tried to keep track on how to sustain, you know,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001148

how to sustain in keeping our projected track of lowering down our debt to GDP by the end of this year and over the years that would come.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001149

Mr. Speaker, your honors.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001150

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001151

Pagdating po sa deficit natin, maaari po bang tukuyin ninyo ang exact timeline and annual target para sa deficit reduction?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001152

Mr. Speaker, your honors.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001153

In 2026, we have, meron talagang ano, there's really that plan to pababain po natin yung debt to deficit.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001154

To GDP, you know, which around this year is 5.4%.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001155

We are projecting it to go lower.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001156

In next year, it would be 5.1.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001157

And again, over the years, starting from 2028, it will be 4.8.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001158

And then the projected in 2029 will be 4.2, 3.5% by 2023 deficit.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001159

To GDP ratio, Mr. Speaker, your honors.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001160

So there's really that gradual decline that we are projecting based on the fiscal consolidation plan,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001161

hoping that by 2030, we would have to reach the lower ratio of deficit to GDP, which is about 3.5%, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001162

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001163

So I suppose ito po ay mga projections and assumptions under good scenario.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001164

These are projections, but they are also based on an actual, well, you also have to balance it out with the actual borrowings

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001165

and also as well as the expenditures and the possible revenue that we collect from both the taxes and also the non-tax revenue that we also collect.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001166

Halimbawa po, sir, naibigay nyo na distinguished sponsor yung projection,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001167

na pababa ng pababa, ano?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001168

Paano po kaya kung mangyari uli yung nangyari nung makaraang buwan,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001169

na may mga external shocks na apektohan tayo?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001170

Will this be adversely affected?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001171

Your projections will be adversely affected?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001172

Yeah, again, this is not entirely a decision that the Department of Finance has to make.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001173

It also involves other agencies like the DBCC,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001174

as well as,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001175

DEV, DEV, NEDA, BSP.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001176

So it's really an interagency assessment.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001177

So if there's a need to really readjust policies insofar as responding to unplanned and unpredicted shocks in the international market,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001178

definitely the DOF will be one among those agencies that will come up with adjusted policy in order to measurably and adequately respond.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001179

to whatever effects to our economy.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001180

Should there be any uncertain or untowards incident that may happen in the coming days?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001181

Thank you, Mr. Chair, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001182

Ito po, ito, siguradong hindi na ito sa DBCC,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001183

kontrolado na po ito ng DOF on revenue mobilization.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001184

Ano po kaya ang specific tax measures or administrative reforms na idideliver na what will we use to deliver

Source

At paano natin titiyakin na hindi mabibigatan ang ordinaryong manggagawa?

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001187

Of course, aside from yung na-ipresenta na po na pagbenta ng assets,

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001188

may dalawa po yata ang plano, yung pagbenta ng baknotan kalayaan na geothermal and the atrium of Makati properties.

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Aside from that, in terms of revenue collections, ano po ang plano ng DOF?

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001190

Thank you.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001191

Mr. Speaker, there are several items here if the good lady would indulge me in identifying one.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001192

This is actually a progressive tax reform that the Department of Finance would like to propose.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001193

There's also the increase in personal income tax exemption

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001194

from 250,000 to 350,000 annually.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001195

This will actually help our income, personal income taxpayers up to 17,500

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001196

with their annual savings, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001197

We do also have exemption for the micro and small enterprises or MSNBs.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001198

We would also like to update.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001199

On the, or the lifting.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001200

So, Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, pardon me if I need to itemize, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001201

some of the tax reform packages that we have.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001202

Without going through, what would be?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001203

The direct beneficiary or benefits it will give to our tax payers.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001204

I just want to enumerate to you these tax reform packages.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001205

Number one is through the automobiles, e-cigarettes and novel tobacco,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001206

plastics, sweetened beverages, distilled spirits, and vermouth,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001207

which actually with a total revenue impact of 43.62 billion pesos, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001208

So, this would actually give benefit, direct benefit to our tax payers.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001209

Mr. Speaker, Your Honors.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001210

But that, would that be enough, Mr. Speaker, to, to cover yung malaki pong kakulangan natin sa revenues?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001211

Mr. Speaker, the reason why there's a policy to reform our tax packages,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001212

identifying all those items that I've mentioned, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001213

is that based on the trajectory and based on the data that the Department of Finance has,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001214

we are still on good track and on good financial condition, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001215

Even, even if we pursue this reform tax packages, Mr. Speaker, Your Honors.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001216

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001217

Naiintindihan po natin ang kalagayan ng DOF, kalagayan ng bansa natin ngayon.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001218

Pero hindi nyo rin po kasi maiaalis ang pangamba sa lahat tungkol dito sa tumataas at lumalalang utang ng bansa.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001219

Pwede po ba tayo na ma-assure ng DOF sa ngayon that the current debt trajectory,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001220

will not compromise long-term fiscal sustainability and intergenerational security?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001220-split-2

Yes.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001220-split-3

And equity?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001221

Yes, Mrs. Speaker. In fact, one of the reasons why we are mentioning also the benchmark,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001222

the 70% international benchmark, is that we are low, low below the benchmark wherein dapat tayo ay mag-worry.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001223

In fact, kung titignan po natin ang ating gross borrowing rate,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001224

mas malaki po yung mga

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001225

Progressive na bansa tulad ng Japan, United States of America, mas mataas po yung kanilang gross borrowing.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001226

Bibigyan ko lang po kayo ng data.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001227

Based on the debt levels po, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, ng ating bansa, as compared with the other ASEAN countries.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001228

In the ASEAN countries, Mr. Speaker, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001229

have projected a much, much bigger debt.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001230

In terms of the 70% baseline benchmark po ng International Monetary Fund.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001231

To say, for example, that there will be a trouble in terms of fiscal sustainability or debt sustainability.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001232

Sa Pilipinas po, way, way below.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001233

Again, I've mentioned earlier, 56.8% lang po yung ating debt to GDP.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001234

And based on the prudent fiscal management that we have, as we have already until today itemized,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001235

total tax reform packages.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001236

It would even go lower, no?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001237

It would even go lower in the coming years, no?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001238

We anticipate that in the next year, it will be down to 56.1%.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001239

So, basically, if we do reference, use the reference of the International Monetary Rate as our basis

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001240

to either say that we are now in deep trouble or we are okay or healthy in our financial standing,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001241

I think the number would not lie.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001242

56.8% is way, way below the 70% benchmark on the International Monetary Rate na sinasabi po nilang medyo may problema doon.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001243

So, medyo mababa po yung ating rate doon.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001244

So, ibig sabihin po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, wala po dapat ipangamba ang taong bayan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001245

Hindi po tayo dapat.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001246

Mag-alala sa utang natin.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001247

Yes, Mrs. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001248

We can confidently say that dapat huwag tayo mangamba dahil unang-una.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001249

Again, let me reiterate because we're talking about borrowing.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001250

We're also talking about our gross borrowing.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001251

Sinasabi po natin na hindi po tayo mapagamba kasi very less po yung possibility that we will also be affected

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001252

by international shocks or the fluctuating monetary rates kasi ang borrowing pala talaga natin are mostly our gross domestic borrowing,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001253

Mrs. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001254

At sinasabi po natin, ang ating nagiging baseline is yung 70% po na threshold na binigay po ng World Bank na sinabi po ng World Bank

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001255

na para ma-determine whether the sustainable yung debt levels ng ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001256

Again, I've already given, Mr. Speaker, your honors, the numbers.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001257

Mrs. Speaker, your honors.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001258

That is why with 58.6%, no, ang ating, ang ating, ang ating, ano, debt, no,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001259

debt to GDP, Mrs. Speaker, ay medyo mababa.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001260

Iyon po yung rason, Mrs. Speaker, na marami pong pumapasok sa atin ng mga investors.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001261

We have, because we have a very good investment ratings, no.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001262

In fact, the best rating agencies also come out with that study na among many countries, as I've cited to you,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001263

just to specifically give you an example, sa ASEAN, we are the lowest, no, ng rate na sinabi po ng,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001264

ating data.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001265

At the same time, mataas po ang ating credit rating.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001266

That's why many investors do have confidence to put up their money in this country, Mrs. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001267

So, yes, to give you a short answer, we are confident and we are, we can manage over the years.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001268

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, sa inyong kasagutan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001269

Sa punto po kasing ito, nilalatag natin ang lahat ng mga numero, pero ang akin lang pong isang, maibahagi ko lang po,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001270

sa, hindi po ako ekonomista, gusto ko pong unawain ang kalagayan ng ating bansa,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001271

isa lang po ang naiintindihan ko sa puntong ito bilang mambabatas at sa experience ko bilang mambabatas,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001272

itong mga numero ito, hindi maintindihan kung ang ating, sa pagganap ng ating batas,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001273

tuwing-tugi tayo magpapasa ng batas, magiging unfunded mandate, kasi walang pera.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001274

Kapag po tayo ay,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001275

Kaya tuwing budget hearing, magre-request po tayo na taasan ng mga pondo para sa mga programa at proyektong tingin natin ay dapat naman talaga mabigyan ng mataas na pagpupondo.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001276

Katulad po sa human capital development, paano po natin maiintindihan yung mga figures na yan na sinasabing manageable yan, sustainable, kaya hindi po masama ang mangutang, lalo na po kung inuutang natin will redound to the greater benefit of our people.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001277

Pero ang nakakabahala lang po kasi tuwing-tuwing magbabudget hearing tayo, ang atin pong naririnig lagi, tight fiscal space.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001278

Hindi ko po alam kung default answer yan or excuse, pero tuwing-tuwi, tight fiscal space.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001279

Ang tanong ko po, huling katanungan ko na lamang po, paano pa ho ba natin luluwagan ang fiscal space na ito?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001280

Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, marami pong posibleng kasagutan dyan, pero as far as the Department of Finance is concerned,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001281

and its main task really is to source out,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001282

revenue in order that we can finance capital investments, kung ano po yung mga gastusin ng ating bansa, of course, hindi po tayo matatapos sa 30 minutes kung tayo po iisa-isahin.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001283

Pero kaya nga po, meron po tayong prudent fiscal management para nata-target po natin kung ano yung paggagastusan ng ating bawat ehansya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001284

Ay yun po ay binabangga po natin kung ano pong meron tayo as a relative, just to give you a straight answer, pareho tayo, hindi po rin ako ekonomista,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001285

pero ang tinitingnan ko po ay paano yung nagiging...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001286

nagiging returns itong mga services na ito sa ating mga kababayan.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001287

So definitely, there are, should be, number one, a prudent fiscal planning.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001288

The fiscal management will only expand if there are revenues that we collect,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001289

not only from the tax revenue collection, but even the non-tax proceeds, the revenues.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001290

So it's how we can actually generate local economy, generate more jobs,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001291

and as well as to, you know, to get more revenue in order that we can actually expand the fiscal space.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001292

Kasi mag-expand lang po yan kung gaano rin po kalaki yung ating pera.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001293

Kaya babalikan ko po kasi I think the question...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001294

was premised on pangungutang.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001295

Kaya nga po, ang pangungutang hindi naman po talaga siya masama.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001296

Kaya nga, dapat meron coupled with prudent fiscal planning

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001297

kasi yung pangungutang, mas maganda po yan

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001298

kung nagtitrigger po yan ng economic activity sa baba.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001299

And you agree on me on this, Mr. Speaker, Your Honors.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001300

Kaya nga po, talagang ginagawa po natin

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001301

na mapababa din po yung ating debt to GDP,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001302

deficit to GDP, kasi sa standing po talaga natin

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001303

is sustainable pa po yung ating debt levels

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001304

at saka doon po yung rason kung bakit marami pong pumapasok

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001305

sa atin ng mga investors at dinadala po nila

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001306

ang kanilang mga kapital dito sa ating bansa

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001307

na nakakapagdagdag din po to revenue

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001308

or possible na pinagkukuhanan po natin

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001309

ng paggagastusan para po mapalawak po natin

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001310

at mapalaki po natin ang ating fiscal space.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001311

Mr. Speaker, Your Honors.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001312

So just to give you that answer,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001313

I think holistically, it also,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001314

comes different on different levels and different variables.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001315

Pero sa ngayon po, based on the data, sinasabi po natin,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001316

we anticipate also the growth as far as how the trajectory

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001317

of the data of the Department of Finance is concerned

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001318

and we hope that it can continue on

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001319

because our number one priority is not just to lower down our debt to GDP

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001320

but also to create more or to spur the local economy in our country

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001321

so that it can also be translated into more revenue

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001322

that the DOF can collect.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-001323

asr-001337

para po mapanatag po ang kalooban ng ating mga kasamahan dito

asr-001338

lalong-lalong na po ang good interpellator.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001339

In fact, Mr. Speaker, one indication na okay lang po po yung kating katayuan

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001340

dahil we are actually spending more than compared to our ASEAN neighbors, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001341

In fact, may 22% po of our GDP is what we used for expenditure.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001342

We spent so much, Mr. Speaker, and so more.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001343

Ibig sabihin, malaki po yung...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001344

ating pumapasok po sa atin na ating nagagastos. [unclear] Honor.

Mr. Speaker, while the objectives of the law remain worthy and necessary,

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001367

This representation believes that we have the continuing duty to ensure that the implementation remains responsive to prevailing economic realities and does not result in unintended burdens upon the Filipino people.

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001368

Mr. Speaker, mula noong naisabatas natin ang RPVARA, mula noon hanggang ngayon, nagbago na po ang economic realities na hinaharap ng ating bansa.

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001369

Noong ito ay naipasa, hindi pa po nangyari ang Middle East oil crisis at hindi pa po ganun kasama ang inflation.

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001370

If I may add po, Mr. Speaker, nag-file po tayo ng House Resolution noong nakaraang July kung saan nananawagan po tayo na panahon na po siguro na reviewhin natin ang RPVARA at aralin po natin kung napapanahon po ba ito or kung kakailanganin siyang suspindihin.

asr-001371

And, Mr. Speaker, if I may add...

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001372

Last August, no less than our President, President Bongbong Marcos, sought for temporary suspension of real property valuation implementation to protect businesses and investments.

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001373

If I may quote, Mr. Speaker, ang ating Palace Press Officer, sinabi po ng ating Pangulo noong nakaraang Augusto, nagpanukala si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa dalawang kapulungan ng LEDAC meeting noong August 6, 2026,

na pansamantalang pagsuspende ng

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001375

pagpapatupad ng Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act or RPVARA upang maiwasan ang karagdagang mga gastos sa ari-arian para sa mga negosyo,

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001376

suportahan ang mga pamumuhunan at tiyakin ang isang dahan-dahan at makatwirang transisyon patungo sa bagong valuation system.

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001377

At ito rin po ang naging rekomendasyon ng Private Sector Advisory Council.

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001378

That being said, Mr. Speaker, gusto ko po malaman...

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001379

sa DOF, kung ano po ang kanilang posisyon pagdating po sa pagsuspende ng RPVARA.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001380

Mr. Speaker, ang Department of Finance naman po ay nag-complying with whatever policies and enactment of any laws in relation to any of the taxes, the form of taxes that the Congress would impose or would enact.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001381

So, isa po rito yung RPVARA.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001382

So, ang posisyon po ng Department of Finance dyan ay willing po sila. May defer implementation.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001383

In fact, kung yun po ang ninanais ng legislatura, halimbawa, to extend the suspension or defer the implementation of RPVARA,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001384

then Department of Finance more than willing to implement the extension, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001385

Mr. Speaker, before I wind up my interpellation for the DOF, para lang po sa appreciation ng ating mga kababayan na nakikinig ngayon,

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001386

dahil marami pong panawagan na suspendehin yung RPVARA mula po sa mga assessor, mula sa mga stakeholder, at mula rin po sa ating Pangulo.

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001387

Meron po bang datos ang DOF kung ano ang maaaring economic impact kung sakaling itutuloy po natin ang RPVARA as scheduled?

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001388

Dahil sa aking pag-unawa, Mr. Speaker, kung magkakaroon po tayo ng bagong schedule of market values, maraming buwis po ang pwedeng maapektuhan.

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001389

Magpabigat sa ating mga kababayan. Isa na po dito ang binabayad nating amilyar, capital gains tax, documentary stamp tax siguro, donor's tax.

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001390

May epekto rin po ba ito sa cost of housing? Paano po nito aapektuhan ang mga negosyo, ang mga upa, ang presyo ng upa?

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001391

So maaari po ba, Mr. Speaker, ipaliwanag sa atin ng DOF kung ano po ang posibleng economic impact ng RPVARA if we continue?

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001392

As scheduled.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001393

Yeah, Mr. Speaker, Your Honors. Well, wala hong, there's no, there's no actual and definite data that we can provide, the good gentleman, from Congressman Abalos.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001394

But certainly, Mr. Speaker, kasi ang formulation po nito ng RPVARA is this is a local government revenue, hindi naman po siya national taxes.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001395

Talking about local assessors, you understand also the impact of this on our people.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001396

Kasi every local assessors would also, the valuation board would also depend on the income classification of each city and municipality.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001397

Kaya nga po ang ating Department of Finance is supporting whatever would be to defer implementation of RPVARA.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001398

So going back to your question, probably mayroon pong slowing down of economic activity.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001399

Probably.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001400

But as to, as concrete and tangible answer to that, based on concrete data that we have, wala po sa ngayon ang Department of Finance.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001401

Because again, these are normally resourced out or be collected from the local government revenue, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001402

Maraming salamat, Mr. Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001403

Mr. Speaker, for expediency, naniniwala po ako, Mr. Speaker, na hindi naman po basta-basta mananawagan ng ating,

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001404

Pangulo, na suspendihin yung RPVARA kung wala po tayong pinapagbasihan.

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001405

So for expediency, Mr. Speaker, at dahil meron rin naman po ako nakahain na House Resolution na nananawagan na reviewhin natin yung RPVARA,

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001406

baka maaaring mag-furnish na lang po ang DOF sa representasyong ito, kung ano yung maaaring available data,

Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-001407

kung ano po ang inyong policy recommendations para at least ma-address po natin ang concerns ng ating mga kababayan.

Ang pinakamahalagang tanong sa 2027 National Budget ay hindi lamang,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001423

kung magkano ang nais gastusin ng pamahalaan.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001424

Ang mas mahalagang tanong ay may kakayahan ba talaga tayong likumin

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001425

ang salaping ipinangakong gagastusin.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001426

Ang target nakita para sa 2027 ay humigit kumulang 5.26 trillion.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001427

Halos 399 bilyong mas mataas kaysa sa binagong target para sa 2026.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001428

Ngunit, habang itinataas natin ng target, bumabagal ang paglago ng ekonomiya.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001429

Humihina ang pamumuhunan.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

May mga panukalang magbabawas ng umiiral na kita at may mga bagong buwis na maaaring magpaliit naman sa mismong tax base.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001431

Kaya, ito po ang aking mga katanungan.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001432

Una, what is the specific basis for the 5.26 trillion revenue target for 2027?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001434

How much of the increase will come from the economic growth, from inflation, new taxes, improved collection, digitalization, anti-smuggling measures, and one-time revenues?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001435

May I just be clarified, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001436

Is the good gentleman asking for the breakdown or the basis for the 5.6 trillion?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001437

Maybe just a ballpark

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001438

figure. On how

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001439

Okay.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001440

did you arrive with the 5.26 trillion target?

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001443

Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, the revenue targets are based

around 9.21%,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001488

attached agencies,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001489

is 2.8 billion

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001490

pesos, Mr. Speaker. So, in 2027,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001491

Mr. Speaker, fiscal year,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001492

we assume that

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001493

the real GDP growth rate

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001494

range is

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001495

about 5 to 6 percent.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001496

So, in case this will

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001497

not materialize again, because this is

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001498

just a projected rate,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001499

every 1%

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001500

percentage point decline

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001501

would definitely

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001502

translate into lowering tax revenue.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001503

Every 1%?

asr-001506

Every 1%? How much will be the decrease?

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001507

Well, if the 1% decline,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001508

Mr. Speaker, will then translate

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001509

into lower tax revenue

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001510

by 38.8 billion pesos.

So, how will you

You're asking, Mr. Speaker, about the losses.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Yes, 60 point.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001600

And projected losses in 2027?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001601

And how will it be compensated?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001602

Mr. Speaker, since

asr-001603

this proposed measure is not

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001604

even legislated or has become a law,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001605

it's not even part of the

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001606

So, ito pong pangako ng Pangulo sa SONA.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001607

We can only give you,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001608

give the good gentleman,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001609

a projected revenue losses

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001610

if the NEP will be

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001611

passed into law, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001612

But just to give you projected,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001613

Mr. Speaker, in 2027 is 61.6 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001614

But there is a great possibility that it will be implemented because the President,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001615

the President, said so.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001616

So, papano po ito,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001617

papano po

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001618

makakompensate yung additional

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

loss?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001620-split-2

Again, Mr. Speaker, yes, the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001621

projection, we're talking about the projection.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001622

Yes, it has not become,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001623

it has not yet become a law. So, in the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001624

projection, Mr. Speaker, again,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001625

the good gentleman is asking,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001626

the losses is 67.02

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001627

billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001628

But there are also other projected,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001629

revenue collection that we can get.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001630

These are the positive,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001631

progressive

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001632

revenue generating

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001633

reforms that we have already identified.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001634

Again, let me just go

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001635

back to the itemized,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001636

you know,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001637

itemized sector

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001638

or identified

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001639

products, I may call it.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001640

It's part

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001641

of our tax reform

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001642

package. Isa po dito yung sa

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001643

automobiles.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001644

E-cigarettes,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001645

and novel tobacco,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001646

plastics, sweetened beverages,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001647

distilled spirits.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001648

So every root, which

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001649

basically has a

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001650

subtotal around 110.64

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001651

billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001652

So, if you deduct the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001653

projected losses, which is around

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001654

67.2 billion pesos,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001655

we still

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001656

are good

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001657

in terms of

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001658

the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001659

gains, which is about

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001660

43.62 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001661

So, meron pa po tayong sukli.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001662

Mr. Speaker, ang ibig po

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001663

niyong sabihin, dito po sa

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001665

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001666

yung possible loss of 60 billion?

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001667

Hindi pa po, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001668

Bakit po?

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

It's still a proposed,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001672

it's still a proposal, Mr. Speaker, to the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001673

House of Representatives. Again, this is our projection.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001674

Ito po ay inaasahan ng mga mamamayang Pilipino.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001675

Yes, well, once

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001676

it becomes a law, that would be

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001677

dun po natin

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001678

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001689

Doon sa mga losses na possible na mangyari.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Mahalaga po na

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

how much annual revenue will government

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001714

sa travel tax, it goes directly

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001715

I think this is part of the earmark revenue.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001716

It goes directly to specific agency.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

yung exemption.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001760

Department of Finance

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001761

basically is to

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001762

come up with

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001763

possible, yes, possible

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001764

apart from the projection,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001765

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, the primary

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001766

mandate in promoting concern of Department

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001767

of Finance is really to come up

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001768

with avenues and mechanism

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001769

in order that we can generate

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001770

more revenue.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001771

So as far as how to

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001772

project a certain

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001773

amount that would be used for a particular

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001776

laws that are passed by Congress,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001777

again, Mr. Speaker, the way to itemize

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001778

that and to identify that

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001779

is primarily a mandate

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Can you still have kahit po ballpark figure,

so that we will have an idea

asr-001854

how much would you generate

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001855

from these taxes?

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001856

At kung babagsak

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001857

ng 32% yung

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001859

Para po meron naman pong

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001860

idea itong kapulungan na ito.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001861

Okay, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

based on experience,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001863

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001864

as what our

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001865

historical data?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001866

Is there any

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001867

documentary basis for this assumption?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001868

Well, if there's a, the taxes, Mrs. Speaker, whenever it is imposed, tumataas po talaga, yung mga taxes po, the revenue collected from these taxes, tumataas naman po in every, as historically, periodically, we testify based on the data as we experience. Mention po, may mga years na bumaba.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001869

But do you have any assumptions? Any assumptions? At least, statistical assumptions?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001870

Meron pong study ang PIDC in terms of, in terms of the, yung elasticity, rate po ng mga sweetened beverages, again, ang projection po is, meron pong, again, dito po sa data natin ay may 63.26 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001871

Base po din ito sa study ng PIDC.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001872

PIDC, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Can you just furnish me a copy of this elasticity study?

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001874

PIDS, sorry, PIDS.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001875

Thank you. And, of course, kung magmamahal po itong mga produkto na ito, alcohol, hindi po ba kinonsider dito yung pagpasok ng mga cheaper smuggling, mga produkto through cheaper products through smuggling and illicit trade?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001876

Na-consider po ba ito?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001877

Yes, po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001879

Kasama po yan sa study, Mrs. Speaker, yung mga...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001880

Do you have a study on that?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001881

Sorry?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001882

Do you have a study on that?

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001883

Do you have a study?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001884

Mrs. Speaker, we understand, Mrs. Speaker, that this is really a problem, yung mga tax leakages through smuggling...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001885

Kaya nga po, tinatanong po para hihingi lang po ako, Mr. Speaker, ng kopya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001886

Ng kopya ng data, Mrs. Speaker. Let me just...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001887

Meron po?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001888

Yeah, we will provide, Mrs. Speaker...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001889

A copy of that, Mrs. Speaker, the study.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001890

If higher taxes will affect the employment of our people, kasi syempre, pag nagtaas yan, sabi nga nila, kung babagsak yung sales nila ng 32%, e di magbabawas sila ng mga empleyado.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001891

Ano po kaya ang plano dito?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001892

ating pamahalaan.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001893

Mr. Speaker, yes,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001894

again, hindi lang po yung pag-project

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001895

itong tax reform na

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001896

hayaan po natin kung ano yung magiging

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001897

negative effects niya in terms of

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001898

employment. We also understand that

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001899

that's one of the possible

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001900

effects.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001901

So kaya nga po may tax relief po din tayo

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001902

na

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001903

sinasagawa or na

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001904

anticipate na po as a response

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001905

to the possible.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001906

Tax relief is not employment.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001907

Yeah, but in this point,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001908

again, the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001909

tax relief is translated to the increase in

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001910

income household, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001911

So naturally, these people who are employed

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001912

in factories,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001913

yeah, will lose their job, but there are also that

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001914

tax intensive that provided for the household

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001915

income earners, Mr. Speaker, which is amount

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001923

increase necessary?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001925

Annual na po yan, di ba?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001926

Taon-taon, tumataas yan.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001929

Department of

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001930

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001931

with whatever adjustments

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001932

in terms of the computation

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001933

of taxes imposed on different sectors,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Mrs. Speaker, the Department of Finance

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001936

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001937

are the policies or laws that are to be

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001938

enacted if there will be some

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001939

adjustments or some

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-001940

suspension or amnesty of any form

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

more human about consideration

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Tama po yun, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002135

Is it correct that

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002136

2.389 trillion will be the

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002137

domestic borrowing?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002138

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002139

2.[unclear]?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002140

2 trillion.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002141

389 [unclear].

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002141-split-2

Yeah, that's correct, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002142

Will be the domestic borrowing.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002143

Yeah, that's correct, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002144

And about 915 billion

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002145

will be external borrowing.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002146

Yes, po, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002147

And about

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002148

1.695 trillion

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002149

will finance

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002150

the fiscal

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002151

deficit.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002151-split-2

Yes, po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002152

Therefore, for every

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002153

100 borrowed, roughly

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002154

48 goes to

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002155

principal amortization

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002156

and refinancing. Tama po?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002157

Yes, tama po yun, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002158

So, almost

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002159

half of the new borrowing is connected

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002160

to paying or refinancing

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002161

previous debt.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002162

Yes, that's correct, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002163

Ang tanong,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002164

nangungutang ba tayo para i-refinance na lang

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002165

yung mga borrowings natin?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002166

Yes, po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002167

Yes, po, Mr. Speaker. Kasi obligation

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002169

Again, gusto lang po natin.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002170

At what point

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002171

does this become a serious

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002172

debt rollover problem?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002173

What point?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002174

Mr. Speaker, again, let's

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002182

Ngayon, wala pang problema?

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Ngayon naman, ginawang speaker, kung gagamitin din natin ang parehong kapangyarihan ng pagsususpinde o pagbabawas ng excise tax, sa diesel naman at sa gasoline,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002364

magkano kaya yung tinataya na maaaring pagbaba ng presyo kada litro?

asr-002365

6 pesos po para po sa diesel per liter, 10 pesos po per liter sa gasolina.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002366

Ngayon, ginawang speaker, bakit po ba hindi nakonsidera yung pagsasama ng diesel at gasoline sa sinuspinde at binabaan sa excise tax bilang pagtugon natin sa matinding krisis na ito?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002367

Hindi pa lahat.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002368

Ginawang speaker na lubos na apektado nitong nakaraang buwan sa pagtaas ng presyo ng langis ay nakabangon, lalong-lalo na sa sektor ng transportasyon, sa agrikultura, sa mga magsasaka na ginagamit ang diesel at gasolina para sa kanilang makinarya at traktor,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002369

sa mga manginisda na nakadepende ang kanilang paglalaot sa presyo din ng krudo, hindi pa yan lahat na bibigyan ng tulong, hindi pa po yan lahat ay naabot ng ayuda.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002370

Kulang na kulang din yung mga fuel subsidies para maabot ang lahat ng ito.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002372

Ngayong Setiembre pa lang, pumarap tayo sa tatlong magkakasunod na malalaking oil price hike.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002373

At sa katunayan, sa diesel, umabot na po ng nasa 104 pesos kada litro, sa gasolina naman umabot na ng nasa 87 pesos kada litro.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002374

Hindi biro ang pagtataas na ito ng presyo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002375

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002376

Mrs. Speaker, ang targeted po, ang response po ng energy crisis sa ngayon, dapat din po targeted.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002377

Ibig sabihin, kung tayo po yung magsususpende ng mga taxes, dapat calibrated po ito.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002378

At talagang identified po yung dapat natin isuspende.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002379

Kasi maapektuhan din po ito ng collection.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002380

Now, ito pong sinasasabi po na, na-mention po ng ating kagalang-galang,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002381

siyempre kailangan din po natin targeted yung magiging beneficiaries natin ng pagbibigay po tulong,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002382

according, naaayon po doon sa uplift program.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002383

Na, again, ito po ay dulot ng pagdideklara ng ating presidente,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002384

na under energy crisis tayo.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002385

So, may tulong po sa ating mga transportation sector.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002386

Nandiyan po yung mga tupere, yung mga, pati na rin po yung mga studyante, no,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002387

na pupunta sa kanilang mga skwela.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002388

May mga subsidies po na binibigay.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002389

Fisher folks na mentioned po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002390

So, ibig sabihin, dapat po, meron din po tayong pagpunan na revenue,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002391

na para po masustentuhan itong pangangailangan na assistance sa mga sektor na ito.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002392

In fact, hindi lang.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002393

So, transportation sector ang naapektuan po dito.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002394

Even, na-mention nga din po ng ating kagalanggalang na interpolator.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002395

Even ating mga farmers, no, pati na rin po ang ating mga fisher folks.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002396

And even those, ano, also students, no, kasi alam ko po, isa din po yan sa tinitingnan,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002397

kung paano po natin mabigyan ng assistance yung mga studyante, mga kabataan,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002398

na nahihirapan pumunta sa sarili ka ng skwelahan dahil tumataas nga lang po yung gasoline.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002399

So, naiintindihan po natin ang concern ng ating kagalanggalang na interpolator.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002400

Kaya nga po, ang sa gobyerno, dapat po calibrated yung ating paggawa ng solusyon

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002401

at hindi po talaga siya universally na tatanggalan po natin ng pagpagkukunan ng revenue

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002402

na ang magiging problema kung ito pong gagawin natin ay wala na po tayong possible na mapagkunan

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002403

para immediately as a response, emergency response, assistance, emergency assistance

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002404

sa ating mga mamamayan po, no, sa mga sektor po na nabanggit. Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002405

Mr. Speaker, ginaong sponsor, sabi niyo meron namang targeted subsidies.

asr-002406

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002407

gaano ba karami yung mga naabot,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002408

magkano ba yung naibigay sa kanila, kailangan po natin ng buong ulat.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002409

Kasi nababahala po tayo at tingin po natin, okay lang,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002410

huwag na natin isama yung diesel at gasoline kahit ang taas-taas na ng presyo

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002411

dahil meron namang ayuda, meron namang mga subsidiya.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002412

Ngunit, malimbawa na lang po at nais ko po,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002413

ma-present po niyo sana yung buong mga figures para makita natin yung buong larawan ng sitwasyon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002414

Pero sa bahagi pa lang po ng mga manging isda,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002415

no, ilan lang po yung nabigyan ng ayuda na nasa 2,000 pesos.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002416

At sa katunayan, hindi pa po lahat ng mga lugar na nangangailangan ay naaabot niyan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002417

Hindi pa nga nagsimula yung mismong distribution ng mga fuel subsidies sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002418

Sa tingin niyo po ba makatarungan na ganito yung nangyayari?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002419

Na habang ang mga pinakamahihirap po natin ang mga sektor,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002420

hindi pa naaabot ng mga tulong,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002421

eh hindi natin ginagamit yung kapangyarihan na nga na naigawad.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002422

Emergency power, ibig sabihin, hindi po ito yung magpapatumpik-tumpik tayo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002423

Binigay ito sa atin para gamitin ng mabilis, no, gamitin sa panahon ng emergency.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002424

Extraordinaryo po itong kapangyarihan, no, pero para sa panahon na todo po ang epekto sa ating mga pinakamaliliit na mga kababayan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002425

Hindi na nga lang po pinakamahihirap.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002426

Maski yung middle class natin, struggling middle class, ay nahihirapan na po sa taas ng presyo ng langis.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002427

Na alam po ng ating ginuong sponsor na nakaka-apekto rin sa presyo ng pagkain,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002428

sa presyo ng pamasahe, sa kanilang kabuhayan, sa mga maliliit na negosyo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002429

Kaya po doon po tayo nag-aalala na bakit ba nandyan na yung emergency powers, hindi pa po natin gamitin.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002430

Nabanggit nyo din po, no, kasi kailangan,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002431

ng pamahalaan na patuloy na mang-olekta, no, para may pagkukunan din ng revenues, no, para naman dito sa mga sinasabi nating subsidies.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002432

Magkano po ba yung nakolekta sa mas mataas na koleksyon ng VAT?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002433

Simula po noong tumaas ang presyo ng langis sa buwan ng Marso, mula po Marso hanggang ngayon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002434

Kasi Mr. Speaker, hindi pa po bumabalik sa...

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002435

Bago po itong US-Israel war on Iran, nasa 55 pesos lang po yung presyo halimbawa ng diesel,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002436

pero hindi naman po yan bumaba ng ganyang parehong level from March to this month.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002437

Magkano na po yung total VAT collection from petroleum products?

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002438

asr-002441

Kinais ko lang pong sabihin na kaya nga po ongoing yung assessment sa uplift program interagency

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002442

kasi tinukuha po yung mga datos at magkano po at ilan yung mga sektor na nabibigyan na po ng subsidiya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002443

Pero ang pinakapangunahing mandato po ng Department of Finance ay maghanap ng revenue kung paano po gastusan.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002444

itong mga pangangailangan ng ating mga mamamayan.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002445

Pagdating naman po sa identification kung magkano, ilan, yung dapat na magiging benepisyo,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002446

doon po nakasalalay sa pangunahing departamento kung saan sila po yung merong pangunahing mandato para magbigay ng mga ayuda.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002447

Halimbawa, for DSWD, kanilang datos po manggagaling.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002448

So sila po talaga yung nagre-report sa interagency po para po matugunan kung ano pa yung dapat nilang pangangailangan

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002449

at maibigay sa ating mga kababayan.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002450

Pero as to the pricing po ng petroleum, alam na po po ng ating kagalanggalang na interpreter,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002451

ay hindi po ito nadidiktahan, may sarili pong buhay ang international petroleum market.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002452

So sa ngayon po, ang ating datos...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002453

...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002454

So sa ngayon po, dahil nga from March to June...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002455

Itong taon na po ito, meron pong collection from, meron pong additional VAT collection na 21 billion pesos starting March to June sa fuel po ito, diesel at saka gasoline.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002456

At meron po tayong, from total po, from starting March up to September 7, 2026, meron pong 32.6 VAT collection po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002457

Projected po. Itong 32.6 na billion pesos na additional VAT collection po dito po sa mga pangunahing commodities na na-mention po ng ating kagalang-galang na interpeler ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002458

Maraming salamat, Kinoong Speaker. Hindi po ba kumita pa po?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002459

Ang pamahalaan mula doon sa mas mataas na VAT collection?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002460

Well, yun nga po, at the face value, at the face value, at the face value, tama po pero gumagastos din po kasi kailangan po natin magkaroon kung saan yung pan, saan po natin kukunin itong mga subsidiya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002461

So dahil tumataas po talaga yung presyo, dapat po, mas maganda rin po na meron tong pagkukunan ng ating pagbibigay na subsidiya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002462

Ito pong 30, ito pong projected na 33.6 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002463

Automatic po ito, yung paggagastusan po ng mga departamento doon po sa subsidiya binibigay po sa sektor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002464

Hindi lang po, again, hindi lang po transportation sector, pati na rin po ang mga fisher folks, pati na rin po sa agrikultura, ang ating mga farmers.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002465

So talagang naka-identified po dapat yung paglalaanan itong nakukuhan po natin karagdagang VAT collection mula po sa mga petrolyong produkto na na-mention po ng ating kagalang-galang na interpeler.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002466

Ang suliran rin kasi dito, Mr. Speaker, buti sana kung lahat po ng apektado ay nabibigyan.

Buong nawawala nilang kita sa isang araw ay napupunan.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002468

Ang problema po natin, hindi naman po ganun yung sitwasyon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002469

Halimbawa, sa mga nabisita po natin na mga manging isda, magpasa hanggang ngayon po, wala pang natatanggap na fuel subsidy.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002470

At yung DA naman po, nung nagsabi sila sa atin, at hindi nga lang pasensya, pero talagang natulak na natin sila dito sa Kongreso na dapat hindi magpatumpik-tumpik.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002471

Kasi bawat araw na nawawala, nawawala ng kita, nababawasan ng kita yung ating mga magsasakat, mga manging isda.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002472

Yan po ay katumbas ng pagkain nila sa pagkainan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002473

Hindi po pareho yung epekto sa kanila sa epekto sa middle

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002474

class at sa mas may marangya at mas pasaganang buhay dito sa ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002475

Sa katunayan po, sa mga manging isda, sila ay kumukonsumo ng 10 litro ng diesel kada fishing trip.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002476

Ang balita nga po sa atin, maraming nakikiangkas o yung nakikisakay na lang sa bangka ng iba para lang po mas mapalaki nila yung kita.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002477

Dati, sila daw po ay kumikita ng nasa 800 to 1,000 pesos per day.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002478

Pero nung naglagpas na po sa 100 pesos ang presyo ng crudo, nasa 200 to 300 pesos na lang po yung kanilang kinikita.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002479

So ganito po katindi yung impact dun sa ating mga pinakamaliliit na sektor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002480

Ganon din po sa mga magsasaka.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002481

Marami pong nag-iisip na magparenta ng lupa sa mga proyektong halimbawa ng solar na hindi na po talaga gustong magtanim.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002482

Dahil nga napakataas ng cost of production.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002483

Sa panahon na hindi lang po langis yung apektado, pati fertilizer ay nakaka-apekto sa ating sektor ng agrikultura.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002484

Sa mga jeepney drivers na kasalukuyan pong nagsasagawa ng transport strike, marami po sa kanila mas pipiliin na lang na hindi bumiyahe.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002485

Dahil kapag sila po ay bumiyahe, ay lugi pa sila.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002486

O kaya naman may nakakausap din po tayong mga TNVS drivers na nagsasabi na yung dating 12 hours po nila,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002487

kailangan nilang bumiyahe ng 14 to 15 hours.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002488

As in, wala na po talagang pahinga para lang meron lang kitain.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002489

Kaya ho, nananawagan ho tayo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002490

Oo, marami po tayong natutulungan sa pamagitan ng mga fuel subsidies, mga targeted assistance sa mga sektor na ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002491

Pero kailangan po natin ang mas malawakan na epekto na ang magsasakripisyo, yung pamahalaan naman,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002492

hindi yung tao na sobra-sobra ng pagtitiis.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002493

Dahil sa mataas

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002494

na presyo ng diesel, ng gasolina.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002495

Sa katunayan nga, Mr. Speaker, nung dinedeliberate po natin yung ating panukala tungkol sa pagsususpende

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002496

at pagbabawas ng excise taxes sa petroleum products sa pamagitan ng pag-provide ng emergency power sa Pangulo,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002497

ang DOF mismo ang nag-ulat.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002498

And I quote from their presentation,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002499

The expected revenue losses from excise tax suspension can also be partially offset by the additional collection from VAT on oil.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002500

So, naka-offset naman po eh, yung maaring mabawas na revenues ng gobyerno mula sa excise taxes ng oil, ng petroleum products.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002501

Pero bakit hindi pa po natin itodo?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002502

Kumpara temporarily lang naman.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002503

Diba?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002504

LPG at kerosene ngayon, pero dapat po sana isama na natin yung pagsususpende rin ng excise taxes sa diesel at gasolina

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002505

para mas marami na makinabang, mas marami po tayong matulungan sa panahon ngayon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002506

Yan po, noong matagal ng panawagan ng representasyon na ito at sana kumilos din ang Kongreso,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002507

kinakailangan na natin ng mas mabilis at mas decisive na aksyon para makatulong sa ating mga kababayan ngayon.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002508

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, kami po ay nakikiisa sa panawagan ng ating butihing presentante ng Gabriela Partylist.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002509

In fact, naiintindihan po natin na hindi po naging madali ang naging kalagayan ng ating mga kababayan

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002510

simula po nagkaroon ng sigalot sa gitnang silangan na nakapekto po ito sa produkto ng petrolyo sa ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002511

Kaya nga po sinasabi po ng Department of Finance, ang pangunahing mandato po ay maghanap po,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002512

tayo ng gastusin para po mapunduhan natin at mabigyan natin ng karapatang sustento, support, ayuda, subsidies,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002513

ang mga naapektuhan po nitong energy crisis na ito.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002514

Kaya nga po dapat para sa amin, para sa Department of Finance,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002515

ay ang datos po kung saan nanggagaling yung servisyo, kung ano yung dapat nabigyan na beneficiaries

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002516

as sa mga pangunahing departamento.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002517

Kung saan sila po yung may pangunahing mandatong magbigay nitong assistance na ito.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002518

Baga, simpleng explanation lang po, ang Department of Finance,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002519

maghahanap po yan ng karagdagang kita ng gobyerno para maibigay sa mga departamento nito

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002520

at yung mga departamento po ang magbibigay sa mga naapektuhan po ng crisis na ito.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002521

Pagdating naman po doon sa panahon,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002522

panawagan na dapat pa ay may suspend din yung sa diesel, excise tax, at saka sa petroleum.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002523

Ito po, again, ito pong Department of Finance, ang kanilang pong mandato ay tingnan

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002524

kung paano din po balansihin kasi mahirap naman po tayo ay magbigay ng supporta

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002525

na wala naman po tayong paghuhugutan saan kukunin yung supporta na ito.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002526

In very ordinary situation, paano ka naman magbibigay ng isang,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002527

ng allowance sa imong anak kung wala ka naman talagang pwedeng pagpunahanan ng pera, diba?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002528

Ganon din po sa Department of Finance.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002529

Kung completely po na tayo po ay magsususpindi ng mga possible VAT collection po natin,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002530

ay maapektuhan din po yung ibibigay natin ng mga subsidies sa ating naapektuhan na sektor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002531

So, kailangan din po natin balansihin yun.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002532

Opo, kailangan din po natin balansihin yun.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002533

Dahil sa katotohanang, dahil kailangan kulang, ay kailangan meron,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002534

hindi dapat na kulang, dapat meron po tayong pagbibigyan ng subsidya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002535

Kung yun po ang gusto natin, again, sinabi na po ng ating butihing interpelator,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002536

ay mukhang question na po yan ng Congressional Act,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002537

kasi na-mention din po ng ating kagalang-galang,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002538

interpelator, pagdating po sa pulisiya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002539

Ang sinasabi lang po ng Department of Finance ay may possible na 10.6 billion pesos na losses na naman po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002540

Tapos, ang translation naman po ito, ay maapektuhan din po yung revenue o pera

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002541

na pwede natin magamitin ng mga departamento para sila po ay magbigay ayuda

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002542

o subsidies.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002543

Or assistance, subsidies sa mga naapektuang sektor, tulad nalimbawa ng DOTR,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002544

tulad nalimbawa ng Department of Agriculture, tulad nalimbawa ng DSWD.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002545

So, kami po ay nakikisimpat siya, naniniwala po sa panawagan ng ating kagalang-galang na interpelator.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002546

So, kailangan lang po natin balancing approach.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002547

We have the revenue that we have collected, and this revenue that we have collected will be specifically designed,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002548

or will be specifically used to target beneficiaries.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002549

Without the ample resources that we generate, there's no possible way that we can actually respond

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002550

to the emergency brought about by the crisis in the Middle East, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002551

Mr. Speaker, our distinguished sponsor, nanggaling din dito ang Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002552

At nagtanong tayo kung ano ba yung posisyon nila tungkol dito sa pagpapababa ng presyo ng langis,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002553

lalong-lalo

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002554

na po sa crudo na ginagamit nga sa sektor ng agrikultura.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002555

At malinaw yung kanilang posisyon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002556

Kung sila lang nga lang po ang magdidesisyon, ang posisyon nila hindi lang pagbabasura o pagbabawas,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002557

pansamantala na excise taxes sa petroleum products.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002558

Ang panawagan nga nila, maski po yung VAT sa langis ay dapat masuspindi,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002559

kung hindi man talagang buong-buong tanggalin dahil sa impact nito sa sektor ng agrikultura.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002560

Nabanggit ko ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002561

Mr. Speaker, kasi sana po kung wala pang efforts, yung DOF magpunta po kaya kayo doon sa linya ng transport strike.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002562

Mismo kausapin niyo po yung mga jeepney drivers.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002563

As in, ibang level po ng kahirapan yung kanilang hinaharap ngayon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002564

Wala na talagang kita.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002565

Baon pa sa utang.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002566

Ganyan po ang kalagayan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002567

Pagdating naman sa mga magsasakat-mangingisda, ganon din po lubog sa utang sa mga microlending.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002568

At kung saan-saan pa po na mga pautang at di pa po makabangon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002569

Ngayon, ang challenge diyan, ginaong Speaker, wala ding pondo sa 2027 NEP.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002570

Yung mga mahalaga sana ng programa para tulungan makabangon ang mga sektor na ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002571

Halimbawa, yung fuel subsidy ng LTFRB, zero for 2027.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002572

Yung Presidential Assistance for Farmers and Fisherfolk na asahan sana natin for production subsidy ng Farmers and Fisherfolk, zero.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002573

Zero din sa 2027 budget.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002574

So, ano pong aasahan ng mga sektor na ito?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002575

Kundi yung decisive action na lang sana nabawasan yung mga pinapasan nilang mga buwis.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002576

Tulad po ng VAT, ng excise taxes.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002577

Hindi naman po sa lahat.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002578

Doon lamang sa ating mga basic necessities and prime commodities na sana nga kung sa price act, masama na ang diesel at gasoline.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002579

Kaya po muli, ang hamon ko po sa DOF.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002580

Kasi nagtanong po tayo sa DA.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002581

Ang stand nila, mabawasan ang presyo ng langis.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002582

Ang stand din po ng DOE kung magdidesisyon naman na magkaroon ng pagbabawas ng presyo ng langis sa pagsususpindi ng excise taxes, welcome din naman.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002583

Pero yun nga, ang sinasabi nila, hindi lang naman sila ang nagdidesisyon sa lahat ng ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002584

At malaki ang role ng ating economic managers at yung DOF pang specifically yung binabanggit nila na hinihintay nila na rekomendasyon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002585

Pagdating sa mga hakbang na yan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002586

Kaya po, yun ang hamon natin sa ating economic managers.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002587

Kausapin po kaya natin ng diretso yung ating mga sektor na ito na naapekto.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002588

Ang tanungin po natin, naabot ba kayo ng mga targeted subsidies na ito?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002589

Nakaabot ba sa inyo yung fuel subsidies?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002590

Nakatulong ba para makatuloy kayo ng laot?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002591

Nakatulong ba para makapagtanim kayo muli?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002592

Ang laki po ng hamon sa ating bayan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002593

Malaking magagagawa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002594

Malaking magagawa ng pagsususpindi ng excise taxes sa lahat ng petroleum products.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002595

Pag-aaral ng Kongreso para mabasura, mabawasan man lang ang 12% VAT sa pagkain, sa kuryente, sa langis.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002596

At pagtitiyak na sa 2027 na general appropriations natin, maisasama yung production subsidies, fuel subsidies.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002597

Yung mga bagay po na mag-aangat talaga ng sektor ng agrikultura, fisheries.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002598

ng industry.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002599

At hindi lang po tayo nakaasa sa household consumption dahil sa mga patong-patong na mga buwis.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002600

Yan po ang panawagan ng mga kababaihan.

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

The one that we have,

Mr. Speaker, is a soft copy.

yung sa sin tax

collections po na certifications,

confirm that there is indeed

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002895

a shortfall between

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002896

the amount that should be earmarked

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002897

for health under existing

asr-002923

with a total of 317.97

asr-002924

billion pesos. This was

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002925

the last year. But we can also add

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002926

to your reference, Mrs. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002927

the certificate that you requested,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002928

the latest certificate we have

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002929

transmitted to DBM, which is

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002930

on February of this year, Mrs.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002931

Speaker, Your Honors. So to your question,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002932

can... The question,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002933

Salamat po dito sa

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002934

pag-clarify, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002935

Naibigay din po the same

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002936

amount ng DBM sa amin

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002937

base sa nabigay nyo po ngayon.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002938

However,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002939

yung tanong ko po is,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002940

magkano po yung dapat

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002941

na earmark for health

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002942

under existing laws

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002943

and the amount reflected on

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002944

the NEP? Or,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002945

pwede po bang i-commit or

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002946

i-admit ng DOF

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002947

na indeed may shortfall

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002948

po between the amount that should

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002949

be earmarked for health

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002950

under existing laws and the amount

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002951

reflected in the NEP?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002952

So based on the rate,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002953

Mrs. Speaker, which is 80% of

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002954

the 50% of the entire collected from

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002955

the same taxes that goes to PhilHealth,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002956

from 2025,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002957

it's 69.81

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002958

billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002959

And this year,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002960

Mrs. Speaker, we have collected

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002961

so far 69.78

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002962

billion pesos, Mrs.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002963

Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002964

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002965

Ulitin ko po

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002966

yung tanong ko, pangatlong

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002967

beses sa DOF.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002968

Ang tanong ko po, can the

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002969

DOF confirm that

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002970

there is indeed a shortfall

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002971

between the amount that should be

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002972

earmarked for health under

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002973

existing laws and the amount

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002974

actually reflected in the NEP?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002975

What we can actually give,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002976

as a guarantee, or as a response to your

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002977

question, is that there's really

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002978

a difference, no? There's a difference.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002979

But, yeah, there's a difference

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002980

between collection,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002981

the computed, collected,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002982

and earmarked. Kasi earmarked po ito na

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002983

revenue, right? It should go directly to the PhilHealth.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002984

So there's a difference

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002985

between what is collected as

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002986

earmarked directly to the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002987

PhilHealth versus

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002988

what is being appropriated.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002989

So it's not really a shortfall

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002990

in a sense that there's a difference.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002991

In terms of

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002992

the amount collected

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002993

and the amount that is

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002994

supposed to go through

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002995

the PhilHealth,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002996

as appropriated

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002997

by DBM, Mrs. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002998

Siguro, kailangan po ninyong

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002999

mag-usap pati ng DBM, kasi

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003000

ang DBM po, inadmit na

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003001

indeed may shortfall po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003002

So kailangan mag-usap po kayo.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003003

At sa computations din po

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003004

namin, indeed may shortfall po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003005

Next question.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003006

Just to be clarified, Mrs. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003007

just a response to that, Mrs. Speaker. I think

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003008

DBM, on the basis of their mandate

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003009

to allocate fundings,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003010

maybe they have that

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003011

assessment as to

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003012

determining whether there's a shortfall or not.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003013

The DOF primary

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003014

consideration is how to

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003015

generate revenue

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003016

from the taxes that we collect

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003017

and then the terminology that

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003018

we use, the DOF use,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003019

is differences and not on

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003020

the technical implication

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003021

of designing it or

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003022

describing it as a windfall.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003023

Because the DBM po yung na terminology, Mrs. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003024

Just for a clarification and to put

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003025

that on record, Mrs. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003026

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, naintindihan ko po

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003027

yung naging sagot

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003028

or yung naging explanation po

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003029

ng ating distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003030

However,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003031

mukhang meron nga po talagang

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003032

hindi pagkakaintindihan dito

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003033

between the DOF and the DBM.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003034

Kasi si DBM, inadmit na nila

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003035

na ang certification,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003036

po, ay nag-fail.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003037

Dahil din po sa DOF. At inadmit din po ng DBM na indeed may shortfall pero dito po sa DOF, hindi po nila ina-admit pero sinasabi ng DBM na ang DOF din po ang tinuturo nila.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003038

But anyway, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, kukunin ko na lang po yung mga data na need ko.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003039

Allow me first, with all due respect, allow me just to clarify lang po. Mr. Speaker, we understand also where the good lady from Akbayan is coming from.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003040

But the only participation, again, aside from collecting the sin taxes, earmark revenue for PhilHealth, the participation of DOF is to certify that there has been a collection from sin taxes.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003041

We certify that to DBM.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003042

Ito silang concrete na amount kung saan nila po paglalagyan sa PhilHealth. So, yun lang po yung participation just to clear that up, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003043

Maraming salamat po. Base po ba sa certifications noong 2023 onwards, magkano po per year ang collections kung meron man po?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003044

Let me again refer to the data, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003045

Yes, ma'am.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003046

So, sin taxes po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003047

Mr. Speaker, composed of tobacco, alcohol, e-cigarettes, sweetened beverages.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003048

As a whole na lang po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003049

As a whole, yes. In 2023, 289.34 billion pesos. In 2024, 295.65 billion pesos. And in 2025 is 317.97 billion pesos. We will furnish a copy to the lady from Akbayan, Mr. Speaker, later on.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003050

Sige po. Maraming salamat.

Source

if they are savings, then it goes straight to the Bureau of Treasury, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003098

So it's really the DBM that identifies if there are differences in fact, no?

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003099

Or as what the good lady...

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003114

Finally, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, will the DOF support appropriate congressional action to ensure that the amounts required by the law to be earmarked for health are fully recognized and provided for in the national budget?

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003115

asr-003121

The DOF has been coordinating with the DBM.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003122

But as far as mandate is concerned, we also respect the mandate of each of these agencies.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003123

Our, the DOF's main mandate is really to generate income by virtue of collecting taxes.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003124

When we collect taxes, Mrs. Speaker, we simply certify these amounts to DBM for them to realize that,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003125

there's already that collected amount.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

And the DBM really the one adjusting and deciding on the specific allocations as per requested by per agencies, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003127

So, yes, we really comply and we really do stand on the position that if there's a policy, especially if it's under the law,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003128

that the prioritization of certain earmark revenue should go directly to a specific revenue in the case of ill health.

expressly provides that the Commission shall appoint a reputable government financial institution

This is with regards to the HEDF.

Yet, Executive Order No. 338, Series of 1996, which directs the transfer of public money to the Treasury, has been cited as the basis for the present arrangement.

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003162

How does that arrangement comply with the laws requirement for a government financial institution to manage the HEDF portfolio?

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003163

Mr. Speaker, let us state for the record, an Executive Order cannot amend or supersede an Act of Congress.

E.O. 338 cannot be invoked to disregard Section 11 of Republic Act 7722.

For sound and judicious management of the Fund, the Commission shall appoint a reputable government financial institution as portfolio manager of the Fund, subject to the following conditions. And there are several conditions, Mr. Speaker. So, in a nutshell, Mr. Speaker, it is the CHED that actually should administer the funding, and they should also appoint and then decide who will be the manager.

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003210-split-2

So my basic question, distinguished sponsor, is when will this be complied with?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003211

Meron na po bang concrete action on when this will happen?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003212

Yeah, again, Mr. Speaker, it's based on the understanding of the DAF on the specific provision under the law.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003213

It should be the CHED, Mr. Speaker, that directly...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003214

But the funds are currently with the BTR.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003215

You're asking if there's some money, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003216

Yes.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003217

Yes, there is, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003218

So, what will the DOF...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003219

And I think the DOF should intervene and help the CHED para makapag-comply po with the law.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003220

Yes, we understand, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003221

So, we will comply with whatever is the parameter set by the law as referenced by the good gentleman, Nadal.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003222

The DOF will sit down with the CHED in order to facilitate in connection with the letter

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003223

and as well as the provisions.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003224

Under the specific law, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003225

Can we get a timeline and a commitment from DOF on when they intend to comply with this?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003226

We will just have to coordinate with the Commission on Higher Education.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003227

But definitely, once there will be a set-up schedule for specific coordination,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003228

I can assure you, I can guarantee to you, as a sponsor of their budget,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003229

I will ask the DOF to...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003230

So, may I request for a written commitment?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003231

Yes.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003232

Yes, from the DOF?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003233

We will assure the good gentleman, Congressman Nadal, that he will be informed.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003234

Nazal, sorry.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003235

Distinguished sponsor, Mr. Speaker, may I move to my next question?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003236

I would like to go to fuel marking.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003237

Mr. Speaker, through you, may I ask our distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003238

what independent evidence shows that fuel marking resists dilution, blending, and chemical alteration?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003239

How does the current program detect fuel entering outside the formal importation and marking process?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003240

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003241

Well, our declared import volume increased by 77%,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003242

while duties and taxes collected rose by 179%, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003243

So, the annual fuel import volumes, Mr. Speaker, increased by about 11.2 billion liters.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003244

Again, this is...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003245

The result of that is the additional 163.54 billion in our annual collection, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003246

Have we monitored? Do we have data on magkano po yung hindi natin nakita?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003247

How much was lost due to smuggling, despite the marking?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003248

And the current program, are we evaluating the current program?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003249

Mr. Speaker, just to respond to that, Congressman Nazal,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003250

Mr. Speaker, what we can actually give you as a concrete data

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003251

is based on those commodities that have been nakuha or na-reprimand or na-secure

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003252

ng Bureau of Customs as a product of their anti-smuggling operation.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003253

But as to the entirety of how much do we lose because of tax leakages through smuggling,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003254

we can only give you just an approximate.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003255

Pero what we can provide you is the actual seizures amount of commodities that the BOC has.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003256

Ever since we implemented the Fuel Marking Program, since 2023 to 2024, Customs reported 142 apprehensions, 31 cases, but only from this Fuel Marking Program, only one conviction.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003257

So, may I ask what are the updated convictions and actual tax risk recoveries?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003258

Are inspections reaching high-risk independent stations?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003259

Does the current program provide for that?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003260

High-risk independent stations, depots, and vessels.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003261

Where are the cases getting stuck?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003262

And what will the DOF change in the current program?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003263

Mr. Speaker, due to the adjustment from the DOJ's filing of the cases with a certainty of conviction, Mr. Speaker, the Department of, I'm sorry, the Bureau of Customs also has to review those cases,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003264

adjust these filings so that they can actually reach the quantum of evidence that the DOJ is now requiring, cases filed, which is basically a certainty of conviction once they file these cases, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor. But there have been cases that have already been filed by the Bureau of Customs, Mr. Speaker, before the Department of Justice, Mr. Speaker. But some that they need also to reevaluate so that they can

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003265

refile it again, this time with ample evidences to achieve that certainty of conviction, Mr. Speaker, as requested or as defined under the new ruling of the Department of Justice, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003266

Mr. Speaker, may I ask, through the distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003267

Thank you, Sir.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003268

So, the Department of...

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003269

The number of seizures, Mr. Speaker, as...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003270

As to the fuel or oil smuggling, the Bureau of Customs has already had 52 seizures amounting to an estimated value of 202...

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003271

202 billion...

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003272

202 million 51,645 and 95 centavos, to be exact.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003273

In the interest of time, distinguished sponsor, may I just ask for the copy of the data?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003274

Yes, yes, we will provide your copy.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003275

So, distinguished sponsor, through you, Mr. Speaker, how much additional revenue is genuinely attributable to fuel marking after accounting for tax increases, oil prices, and import volumes?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003276

About, Mr. Speaker, well, about...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003277

Again, since we have already increased yung collection natin from 179,000 percent, so the exact amount is 163.54 billion pesos in our annual collection of gas markings, Mr....

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003278

And this is attributable to fuel marking?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003279

Yes, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003280

May I ask for a full report on this?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003281

Yes, we will definitely submit to you a hard copy in the study of that.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003282

Projection of that collection, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003283

We received reports po that the current arrangement has been cancelled.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003284

Kasi parang ang understanding ko po, binibid out po yan eh, kung sino po yung proponent, ano.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003285

And now, we are transferring to a PPP arrangement.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003286

So, and they are proposing a 13.44 billion.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003287

The current proposal...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003288

The current proposal proposes a 13.44 billion PPP arrangement.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003289

May I ask, what is its cost per liter compared to the present contract?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003290

And who will pay for this?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003291

Mr. Speaker, as per offer, Mr. Speaker, it's 10 centavos per liter, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003292

10 centavos per liter?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003293

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003294

So, yun po ang ipapatong for fuel marking?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003295

Yes, that's correct.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003296

And who will cover this?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003297

Sino po ang magbabayad yan?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003298

The oil companies, Mr. Speaker, yun.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003299

So, it will be charged to the consumers?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003300

Well, yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003301

Who is currently paying for the current arrangement?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003302

The oil companies, Mr. Speaker, yun.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003303

So, based on the current arrangement, binibid out po yan?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003304

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003305

And how much is being charged currently?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003306

Pp. 0.69.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003307

Pp. 0.69, Mr. Speaker, yun.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003308

So, bakit po tataas?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003309

Yes, because of the inflation, Mr. Speaker, that also is a considerable factor kung bakit.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003310

2018 kasi yung pricing, yung time na yun.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003311

So, mayroon pong effect ng inflation, Mr. Speaker, yung honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003312

Based on the current results, ever since we started implementing this,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003313

na isa lang po yung naging conviction,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003314

do you think, does the DOF think that this current system is effective?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003315

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003316

So, we had 100...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003317

Yeah, Mr. Speaker, again, yes, we understand, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003318

but so far as the, you know, we're talking about smuggling here, right, Mr. Speaker, your honor?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003319

Yes, yes, we understand that there is one conviction, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003320

but then again, as to the exact, what is important, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003321

if may hope that Congressman Nazal will also appreciate,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003322

is the estimated...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003323

value that we have seized, the Bureau of Customs has seized, which is, you know, I already gave you, Mr. Speaker, the amount.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003357

Pero ito pong mga charges na ito, ongoing naman po eh.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003358

Basically, distinguished sponsor, ang gusto ko lang naman pong maintindihan,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003359

is are we really stopping smugglers through this fuel, through this system of fuel marking,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003360

or basically, ang nangyayari lang po ba is,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003361

are we mainly marking the fuel of legitimate importers who have already paid their taxes?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003362

Kasi baka mamaya ang nangyayari, nag-charge lang po tayo ng additional pero hindi naman talaga naka-curb nung sistema yung pag-smuggle.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003363

We can identify, we determine, and we have a concrete way of determining kung sino dapat magbabayad.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003364

So, Distinguished Sponsor, does the DOF have a complete and independent technical cost-benefit and supplier integrity review?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003365

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003366

Meron po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003367

Meron po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003368

May I ask for a copy of that?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003369

Yes, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003370

And do we already?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003371

We already have a review evaluating other possible systems kung ano po yung posibleng mas maganda.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003372

Kasi my understanding is that the current provider uses halogens, halogenated compounds.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003373

And ang tanong po is na-evaluate po ba natin yan?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003374

Kasi ang balita po is hindi na po ito ginagamit sa Germany at sa China because it is carcinogenic.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003375

I think based on the, approved naman po ng Department of Energy and DNR po yung itong ginagamit po ng ating Bureau of Customs.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003376

So, ito pong Philippine Marking System natin, na-test na po ito.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003377

Has this been tested?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003378

Has this been tested independently for safety?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003379

Yes, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003380

And do we have, can we have, can you provide a copy of that report?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003381

We will, yes, we will provide for the copy.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003382

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003383

Thank you, Mr. Distinguished Sponsor, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003384

I'll move to my next question.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003385

Mr. Speaker, through you, what does abandoned mean for purposes of declaring savings?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003386

Can a project be declared abandoned?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003387

Even, even before the contract is awarded?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003388

If yes, on what specific grounds?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003389

It's, it's, Mr. Speaker, again, it's, it's entirely up, it's entirely a decision that has to be made by the Department of Budget and Management, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003390

Because, you know, allocation of funding,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003391

especially fundings that are already obligated and has yet to be obligated.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003461

Can you speak up,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003462

distinguished sponsor? Sorry, hindi kita marinig.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003463

again just to a short answer Mr. Speaker I think the primary agency that has that that has that mandate to answer that question Mr. Speaker with all due respect is the Department of Budget and Management because it now record it in our orders the issue of allocation fund allocation

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003464

yes the DOF is part of the DBCC and the DEF so in terms of policy direction we have to be clear so kailangan po clearly i-define ito

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003465

yeah but it has Mr. Speaker with all due respect there also is such a thing as the BBM guidelines wherein that's actually where they can draw specification um and priority as to budget allocation for agencies Mr. Speaker

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003466

yes but is that the DOF part of uh

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003467

um

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003468

Mr. Speaker

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003469

As far as Mr. Speaker as far as generating collection revenue is concerned to fund all these priorities sited by the DBM in so far as budget allocation is concerned then that's the participation Mrs. Speaker of the Department of Finance Mr. Speaker your honor

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003470

So you're saying that the DOF has nothing to do with this?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003471

The allocation Mr. Speaker has

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003472

to obligated funding

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003473

unobligated

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003474

No, I understand that. But what I'm saying is, we have to, the DOF is part of creating the definitions on what savings is. The DOF is also part of policy direction.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003475

Mr. Speaker, it's not the DBCC even, Mr. Speaker. It's actually the Department of Budget and Management, National Budget Circular.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003476

These are the guidelines on the release of funds for every fiscal year, Mr. Speaker. So we can provide you the copy, Mr. Speaker, of this particular budget circular.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003477

Okay. Let me move to my next question.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003478

Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, has the BIR issued the circular clarifying the VAT treatment of system loss charges?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003479

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003480

So meron na po tayong circular?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003481

Meron na po, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003482

Magandang balita.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003483

Magandang balita po yan. So, kailan po mag-a-apply ito sa mga billing ng ating mga consumers?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003484

It will be on November, Mr. Speaker, under the ERC guidelines, as we were told, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003485

So starting November po, lahat po ng billing, wala na pong VAT on systems loss?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003486

As we were told, Mr. Speaker, by the ERC.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003487

Maraming salamat on that, distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003488

Now, moving to my next question, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003489

has Treasury resolved the audit finding on the absence of a formal debt management strategy?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003490

Will DOF submit the approved strategy and the interest rate, exchange rate, and refinancing stress tests supporting the 2027?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003491

Barrowing program.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003492

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003493

Mr. Speaker, we have already published, the DOF has already published the medium term debt management strategy, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003494

and that is actually the basis of the DOF's borrowing program, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003495

So to answer the question, yes po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003496

Could you please repeat that?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003497

I think in response to the question of the good gentleman, the DOF has already published the medium term debt management strategy, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003498

and that is actually the basis for the borrowing program, Mr. Speaker, that the DOF is intended to pursue.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003499

So in that debt management strategy po, meron po tayong cost-benefit analysis kung alimbawa paano yung sharing ng local, saka kung yung foreign loans.

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003500

So we already have that.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003501

Yes, meron po yan, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003502

Thank you for that, Distinguished Sponsor, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003503

My next question is for earmarked revenues.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003504

Mr. Speaker, we recognize that the DOF must manage government cash and avoid unnecessary borrowing.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003505

But when earmarked revenues remain with Treasury despite funding needs in PhilHealth, DICT, Bureau of Fire, and other agencies,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003506

does DOF measure the financing savings against the public benefits lost through delayed releases?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003507

Mr. Speaker, may I be allowed to refer to you?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003508

Basically, Distinguished Sponsor, may I just add, no?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003509

Does the DOF, do we compute not only the interest saved, but also the cost of delayed healthcare, lost opportunities for human capital development, and delayed improvements in digital government and public service efficiency?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003510

Do we have a comparative assessment?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003511

Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, the DOF doesn't get

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003512

into the business of studying, as what you requested, yung ano yung effect ng delayed releases, as well as yung mga interest rates.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003513

I think what the DOF is mainly tasked to do is first to identify the possible revenue that we can collect through taxes, loans, and dividend interest, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003514

Is it the Bureau?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003515

Is it the Bureau of Treasury under the DOF?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003516

No.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003517

No, Mr. Speaker, yung ano.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003518

Oh, yeah, it's under the DEV-DEV, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003519

But the DOF also determines...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003520

Sorry, pardon, Mr. Speaker, let me confirm.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003521

You're asking about the issue on the Bureau of Treasury?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003522

Yes.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003523

Yes, it's still, it's an attached agency of DOF, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003524

So, if that's the case, distinguished sponsor, hindi po ba ang nangyayari, ang Bureau of...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003548

So, who determines kung ano, kung kailan ginagamit po ang earmark funds?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003549

Kasi, anangyayari po, the earmark funds are currently, are currently deposited with the Bureau of Treasury.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003550

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003551

Yes, Mr. Speaker, pero pagdating po doon sa actual na gastusin na per agency at saka paano po ma-allocate yung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003552

gastusin for AGC, DBM po talaga

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003553

yun, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003554

Tsaka yung ahensya na yun.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003555

So kung may mga savings po talaga,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003556

of course, diretso pupunta

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003557

yun sa Bureau of Treasury.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003558

But who determines in the Bureau of Treasury

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003559

kung kailan gagamitin ang alin?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003560

Because ang nangyayari po,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003561

earmark funds

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003562

which are supposedly

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003563

passed by law and earmarked

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003564

specifically for the department,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003565

hindi po niya nagagamit.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003566

Well, unang-una, ang implementing agency

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003567

po talaga, yung supposedly.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003568

Ngayon, kung ito po ay bad, ito po yung kondo,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003569

pardon my simple

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003570

illustration, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003571

Kung merong obligated funding

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003572

naman po ito,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003573

even if it's not automatically

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003574

consumed by year

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003575

because it's multi-year, hindi po na po

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003576

bumabalik sa Treasury, it would continuously

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003577

be paid.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003577-split-2

Yes, I understand. Pero ang nangyayari po,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003578

pag ginamit po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003579

natin ito, yung earmarked

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003580

funds natin,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003581

kesa in you,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003582

of let's say, borrowing,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003583

ginagamit na po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003584

natin yung pera nung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003585

na earmarked for a specific

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003586

agency. So, kung ginamit

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003587

natin siya for a particular borrowing,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003588

hindi ba responsibilidad

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003589

ng DOF yun?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003590

Yes, again, Mr. Speaker, as to that

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003591

specific question,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003592

who determines

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003593

itong mga

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003594

revenue,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003595

revenue yung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003596

yung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003597

yung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003598

hindi nagagamit,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003599

I'm sorry, yung hindi nagagamit na gastusin.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003600

Again, Mr. Speaker, ang pangunahin talaga

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003601

ho na mandato ng

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003602

Department of Finance ay

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003603

magbigay ng

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003604

pondo sa DBM,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003605

DBM naman po talaga yung nagpaprogram

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003606

nito at yung implementing agency po

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003607

yung gumagastos. So,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003608

kung hindi po yung wala pong nagastos

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003609

dito,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003610

But who determines

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003611

who will borrow?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003612

Who will borrow and

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003613

where will we borrow from?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003614

So, kung ginamit po natin yung pondo

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003615

in lieu of borrowing,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003616

hindi ba meron pong

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003617

meron pong servisyo na nawala

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003618

kung ginamit natin yung earmarked funds

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003619

for a specific purpose?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003620

So, hindi ba DOF

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003621

ang nag-aaral dapat?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003622

O ito, gamitin natin ito dito

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003623

kasi mas mura kaysa umutang.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003624

Again,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003625

yun po, alam na ito yung earmarked

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003626

revenue po, may specific na

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003627

pupuntahan ngayon. Kung hindi po talaga

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003628

maggastos yun kasi,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003629

pinupondohan naman po talaga

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003630

at ang nag-a-allocate po ang DBM,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003631

ang position po ng Department of Finance

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003632

dyan po ay ang implementing

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003633

agency. Dapat po yung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003634

magde-decide kung how much

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003635

is needed, tapos i-request naman po yun

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003636

naman po talaga yung...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003637

That is not true, distinguished sponsor, because the earmarked funds

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003638

currently may be used

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003639

by the government.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003640

Ang nangyayari po...

Source

Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong

asr-003641

You have your

Source

Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong

asr-003642

30 minutes expired. Please wind up.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003643

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003644

Mr. Speaker. So, ang nangyayari

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003645

po is hindi nga po nila nagagamit

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003646

yung earmarked funds nila. Even if they request

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003647

for funding from

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003648

their earmarked funds, hindi nila nagagamit

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003649

kasi ginagamit

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003650

sa ibang purpose.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003651

At ang sinasabi sa kanila,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003652

yan po ay reklamo ng

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003653

currently ng karamihan ng mga

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003654

departamento na hindi nila

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003655

nakukuha yung earmarked funds nila

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003656

dahil po ang sinasabi

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003657

fiscal space.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003658

So, again po, DBM po talaga,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003659

kasi, again, may...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003660

So, even if the balance is, let's say,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003661

20 billion, and they request 10 billion,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003662

hindi po nabibigay sa kanila, kahit

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003663

yung Bureau of Fire nga po,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003664

hindi raw nila makuha yung kanilang pondo.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003665

Again, Mr. Speaker, it's the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003666

DBM. Kasi parang ang Department

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003667

of Finance pong nagbibigay,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003668

nagmake sure na mayroon pong

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003669

allocation, binibigay

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003670

po yung pondo na to,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003671

nag-allocate ang DBM, at ang

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003672

DBM po nagbibigay sa mga implementing agency.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003673

Kung may earmarked revenue po na,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003674

and that particular agency, para yung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003675

sa sektor na yun, again,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003676

ang DBM po, ang importante

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003677

po ay mayroong nakolektang revenue

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003678

para doon po itong

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003679

earmarked revenue.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003679-split-2

Kaya nga po tinatanong ko,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003680

kung bakit,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003681

kung pinag-aaralan po... I would like to remind you,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong

asr-003682

Honorable Nazal, that will be your last

Source

Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong

asr-003683

question.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003683-split-2

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003684

Again, yes. Kung napapag-aralan po,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003685

yung nawawala

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003686

na paggamit nung Departamento,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003687

kasi pag ginamit yung earmark nila,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003688

hindi nila nabigay yung servisyo,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003689

na yun, meron

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003690

cost po yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003691

cost na nawawala

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003692

doon sa mga

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003693

dapat makinabang.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003694

For example, yung SUF. Kung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003695

nawawala po yung free Wi-Fi, dahil

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003696

hindi po nagkakaroon ng free

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003697

Wi-Fi sa GIDA sites,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003698

meron benefit na

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003699

nawawala.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003700

So, kung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003701

ginamit natin yun, in lieu of

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003702

borrowing, napapag-aralan

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003703

po ba ng DOF yun?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003704

Yan lang, ganun naman po kasimple lang.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003705

Kasi kung sasabihin natin na hindi po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003706

yung responsibilidad ng DOF yan,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003707

eh may problema tayo.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003708

Mr. Speaker, sinasabi lang po natin yung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003709

mandato, bulto po yung binibigay

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003710

ng DOF, the pondo na nakukuha,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003711

ang DBM po ang nag-allocate.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003712

Ngayon, kung meron pong specific na gustong

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003713

request, may proseso naman po yan, kasi

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003714

may guide lang naman po

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003715

ang DBM, nagre-request po yung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003716

implementing agency ng kanilang pondo

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003717

na nandoon po sa Bureau of Treasury.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003718

Ganun po ata sa pagkakaintindi

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003719

ko kung paano po i-release itong mga pera na to

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003720

doon sa paggabitan ng airmark

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003721

revenue, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003722

So ang hinihingi lang po natin sana pag-aralan.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003723

Maraming salamat, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003724

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003733

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003734

Thank you, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003735

Well, for fiscal year

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003736

2027,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003737

it presupposes an obligation budget

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003738

of 7.2 trillion. The government,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003739

however, projects only 5.2

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003740

trillion in revenues and around

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003741

6.9 trillion in

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003742

actual cash disbursement.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003743

The difference between the projected revenues

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003744

and

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003745

cash disbursement is

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003746

a program fiscal deficit

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003747

of around 1.69

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003748

trillion, equivalent to

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003749

5.1 trillion of the

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003750

GDP.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003751

So,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003752

ang proposed budget is 7.2

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003754

to be collected is 5.2 trillion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003755

So, merong

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003756

kakulangan. Later on,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003757

I will ask how we will bridge it.

asr-003759

5.2 trillion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003760

What is the principal component of

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003761

this revenue target?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003762

The sources and respective shares

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003763

of total revenue.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003764

The breakdown, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003765

is from

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003766

tax revenue,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003767

it's 4.851

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003768

billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003769

And from the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003770

non-tax revenue, it's

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003771

354.5

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003772

billion pesos, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003773

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003774

So,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003775

BIR, tax revenues,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003776

4.8?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003777

Yes, tax revenues is

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003778

4,800

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003779

4.8 billion.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003780

I'm sorry, 4.8

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003781

4.851

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003782

trillion.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003783

A billion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003784

This comes from which particular department?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003785

I suppose BIR and BOC.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003786

I suppose it's a combination of

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003787

BOC and BIR.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003788

Ano yung respective share from

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003789

BIR and BOC?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003790

3.7 BIR, 1.1

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003791

from BOC.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003792

Okay, so, BIR and BOC together

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003793

are therefore expected to collect

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003794

approximately 4.8 trillion

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003795

or 92.4% of all

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003796

of the total national government

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003797

revenues.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003798

So, the fiscal program

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003799

is highly dependent on the performance

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003800

of these two agencies.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003801

That's correct, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003802

Okay, what economic assumptions

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003803

would support

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003804

this projection?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003805

Ano yung GDP growth assumptions na ginamit?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003806

Inflation assumptions na ginamit?

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003807

Peso to dollar exchange?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003808

What other macroeconomic assumptions

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003811

Mr. Speaker, allow me first to refer to the data.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003812

So, Mr. Speaker, all the macroeconomic

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003813

assumptions, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003814

are coming from other agencies as well.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003815

The DEVDEV,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003816

the BSP,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003817

and NEDA. So, I'll just give you

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003818

the breakdown.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003819

So, the projection from

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003820

2025,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003821

asr-003822

2027,

is,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003824

is 33 point,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003825

okay,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003826

33,000 billion.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003827

And nominal

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003828

GDP growth rate is about

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003829

9.13%.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003830

And the real

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003831

GDP in this, in peso,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003832

25 billion,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003833

25,000

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003834

billion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003835

Ha? Mali yata?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003836

Tama.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003837

25,000 billion, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003838

I'm also, I'm also shocked about,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003839

I didn't know there's a thousand

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003840

and also in swell is a billion.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003841

So,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003842

but according to the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003843

DEVDEV, we are reading the exact figure.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003844

So, the base real

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003845

GDP growth rate is about

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003846

5.29%.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003847

And

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003848

the inflation rate is

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003849

4.0% up to

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003850

5.0%.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003851

Dubai crude oil,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003852

this is in dollars,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003853

is 70 to 90

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003854

per liter.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003855

$90 per liter.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003856

And then,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003857

364 day,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003858

the T-bill rate is about

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003859

5.5%

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003860

to 6%.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003861

And then, the exchange rate

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003862

from US to peso

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003863

is about 60 to 62,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003864

62 pesos.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003865

Again, goods exports growth is

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003866

about 4.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003867

percent. And then, the goods imports growth is about 5%.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003868

Mr. Speaker, you are now.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003869

So, these are the macroeconomic assumptions,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003870

not just the DOF that has

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003871

arrived into this, but as well as other agencies.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003872

Okay. The reason why I'm asking

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003873

is because these assumptions matter.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003874

Because BIR collections respond

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003875

principally to domestic income,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003876

consumption, profits, and prices.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003877

While customs revenues are

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003878

also affected by import volumes,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003879

commodity prices, and peso

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003880

value of imports.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003881

Now,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003882

how vulnerable

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003883

is our revenue target?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003884

Considering that

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003885

uh,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003886

ang GDP na binigay nyo, you're assuming that it's 5.2, but we are currently 2.8.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003887

Kasi, for example, kaya ako tinatanong ha, if GDP growth is 1 percentage point below the government's assumption, how much revenue will be lost? Computing nyo.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003888

Yeah, Mr. Speaker, again, we understand that there will be losses along the way, but again, the simple answer is that we also need to improve on the collection, capability, and efficiency of our two major revenue collecting agencies under the DOF, which is the BOC and the BIR.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003889

So, we understand also in order to come up and to compensate with our possible losses, I think these are the things that we also need to be conscious about.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003890

Improving the tax policy.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003891

Collections from these two agencies, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003892

Now, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, the reason why I feel that this is very sensitive and kailangan natin itong malaman, because sa ating budget expenditure and source of funding for fiscal year 2027, kita mo,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003893

ang assumption is, 1 percentage point increase in real GDP growth adds approximately 38.8 billion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003894

And revenues, paka yung assumption is correct.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003895

Pero, if there is a 1 percentage point increase in inflation naman, adds approximately 36 billion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003896

And inversely, yun rin yung mawawala sa'yo if you are of the target.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003897

So, the government official revenue forecast is already within 5.6 target range.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003898

If one uses the midpoint of 5.5%, merely as analytical reference.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003901

5.0 growth would imply roughly 19.4 billion less revenues, pagka hindi natin inabot.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003902

Pagka ang GDP natin goes to 4.5, it means there would be 38 billion in decreased revenue.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003903

So, it's very, our budget is very vulnerable.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003904

Ano yung, ano ngayon yung...

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003905

measures that we have to protect us from this vulnerability.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003906

Again, Mr. Speaker, we understand also that in terms of the comprehensive understanding of possible losses

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003907

and what are the gains in terms of the inflation,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003908

we understand also that this is not entirely within the domestic constraint

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003909

or dictated by our domestic local trade,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003910

but this is also being decided upon and dictated by the international market.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003911

So, again, as what the DOF is saying,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003912

we always go back to compensate those shocks, possible shocks,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003913

by way of improving the collection, tax collection,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003914

by both these two major agencies, the Bureau of Customs and Bureau of...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003915

and the Commission.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003916

BIR, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003917

So, we understand, Mr. Speaker, the concern of the good gentleman,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003918

but that is actually how the DOF is trying to project possible losses

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003919

in order to compensate these losses by these shocks,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003920

as evidently by the inflation rate that is continuously getting high.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003921

Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor, the reason why I'm asking

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003922

is because we are asking for a much higher national budget.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003923

The budget proposal is 7.2 billion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003924

And our economic backdrop is not as rosy as what we would have wanted it to be.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003925

For 2027, the assumptions follow a period

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003926

which economic growth had already slowed.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003927

We had 5.7 real growth in 2024, 4.4% in 2025,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003928

and 2.6 year-on-year on the first half of 2026.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003929

So,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003930

if you compare that, from 2024,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003931

2024, it's almost half already.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003932

Considering also that PSA also reported that gross capital formation

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003933

contracted by 9.2% in the second quarter,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003934

while the industry sector contracted by 2.4%.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003935

How household consumption...

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003936

How household consumption, the economy's principal demand component,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003937

because we have a...

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003938

Consumption economy grew by only 2.8%.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003939

So, parang, with this economic backdrop,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003940

parang, and yung projection natin,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003941

the parameters that we used,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003942

sigura parang malamang hindi natin maaabot itong

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003943

5.2 trillion na revenue target natin.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003944

So, what concrete economic activity

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003945

will produce the acceleration assumed

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003946

for the second half of 2026?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003947

for the second half of 2026?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003948

And then propel the country to further accelerate

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003949

to 5.6% growth in 2027?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003950

Yeah, Mr. Speaker, we are also not only trying to broader our tax base,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003951

the possible taxes that we can actually generate from,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003952

but I think the Department of Finance is also trying to be active

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003953

and be aggressive about the revenue.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003954

and be aggressive about the revenue collection, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003955

Meaning to say, there are about how many identified assets

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003956

that I think the government and the DOF would want also to sell.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003957

This would also to compensate the much needed growth

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003958

that we are projecting in the coming years.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003959

In fact, Mr. Speaker, we have the asset,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003960

just to give you a sight, I'm telling you kung paano po natin papalaguin

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003961

o mas

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003969

malaki po yung ma-generate natin na

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003970

revenue.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003971

Apart from yung broadening the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-003972

Mr. Speaker, because collection,

asr-004014

it does not only necessarily mean

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004015

effectiveness, but you also have

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004016

to fight, for example,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004017

tax leakages

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004018

by form of smuggling,

by form of non-tax

mentioned, ito yung bangiging

ng Department of Finance.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004047

First, broadening the tax base

pagbibenta ng asset.

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004053

yun? Unang-una, to broaden

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004054

the tax base, lower

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004055

growth directly threatens the revenue collection.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004056

Taxes are generally

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004057

generated by economic activity,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004058

income, corporate profits, consumption,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004059

transactions, and importation.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004060

The only way that you could broaden

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004061

yung tax base is by

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004062

having a

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004063

better

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004064

economic growth.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004065

If the government can help

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004066

pump-prime the economy, or if

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004067

there would be more investors coming in.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004068

Pero, then you

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004069

generate, you broaden the

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004070

tax base by,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004071

in a more healthier manner, dahil

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004072

mas pinalaki mo yung ekonomiya.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004073

Pero pagka hindi naman lumaki yung

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004074

ekonomiya, by these new investments coming in,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004075

by new investors, new

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004076

investment being made

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004077

in our country, kung ang

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004078

pagtaas lang ng revenue

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004079

is from efficient tax

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004080

collection, matagal na nating ginagawa yan,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004081

but it can only bring your

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004082

revenues to a certain

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004083

point. Hindi pa rin

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004084

aabot tayo.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004085

So...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004086

Yeah, Mr. Speaker, I guess

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004087

we have already identified

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004088

as a form of response

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004089

to the earlier interpolators na meron pong

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004090

70% na benchmark po

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004091

ang International Monitoring

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004092

Team, kung masasabi po natin na talagang

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004093

nasa patagilid ang ating ekonomiya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004094

I think with the 5... 54%,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004095

Mr. Speaker, of

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004096

rate, that's the reason

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004097

why medyo maganda po yung ating

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004098

credit rating at yung mga investors po ay pumupunta

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004099

dito. Because we have

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004100

that capability of

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004101

paying, you know,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004102

mga loans, etc. I mean, I'm saying this,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004103

Mr. Speaker, is because ito po

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004104

yung ganitong karakter, nag-aad, nag-aad,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004105

po ito doon sa international standing

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004106

natin, at nag-aad po dito

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004107

doon sa attractability

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004108

ng ating mga investors,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004109

Mr. Speaker, na pupunta po sa ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004110

Yes.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004111

But, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004112

but that is precisely the problem. You

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004113

mentioned about attracting foreign investors.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004114

I'm sure that the Department of

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004115

Finance will tell you that

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004116

the direct foreign investment natin

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004117

has actually

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004118

dropped from

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004119

2024 to 2026. We

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004120

have dropped by

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004121

almost a third.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004122

So, meaning to say,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004123

kung yun yung inaasahan natin,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004124

wala yun.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004125

Pagka sinabi naman natin

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004126

yung current

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004127

economic

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004128

outlook,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004129

GDP is 2.3%.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004130

Parehong mababa yun. So,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004131

kaya ako binabanggit because

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004132

the

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004133

problem carries

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004134

towards 2027. Government is

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004135

counting on revenues rising from

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004136

4.8 trillion in 2026

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004137

to 5.2 trillion in 2027.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004138

An increase of about

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004139

400 billion. If the economic

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004140

base entering 2027 is weaker

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004141

than assumed,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004142

what would be the government's course

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004143

of action? Kasi,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004144

kasi hindi,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004145

bukod sa 7.2 trillion

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004146

na yung ating

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004147

budget proposal,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004148

ang kaya lang natin

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004149

na i-generate na

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004150

revenue is 5.2.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004151

So, short na kagad tayo ng 2 billion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004152

Pagka yung 5.2 pa,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004153

hindi ma-iabot, hindi

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004154

natin ma-achieve, mas malaking problema.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004155

Yeah, we understand, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004156

Actually, Mr. Speaker, this is just

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004157

an ongoing assessment kasi we're trying to

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004158

project for the possible, based

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004159

on the NEP talaga, may meron talagang kulang.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004160

But again, apart from

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004161

the solution that

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004162

we are, that the DOF

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004163

is trying to formulate, kasi

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004164

quarterly, nag-me-meet naman po, again,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004165

this is not only a DOF's

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004166

concern, it also involves our other

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004167

agencies involved in fiscal, in

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004168

managing our fiscal situation,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004169

Mr. Speaker. So, the DBCC meets

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004170

quarterly naman po to discuss

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004171

about how to

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004172

really assist

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004173

and make sure

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004174

that the macroeconomic assumptions

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004175

will be the targets, will be

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004176

achieved, and will be, ano,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004177

can be

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004178

obtained, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004179

So, as I've mentioned, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004180

based on the macro assumptions, meron nga po tayong

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004181

possible

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004182

na mga incomes

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004183

na mga po pwede po nating,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004184

anibawa, yung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004185

growth rate po, Mr. Speaker, as I've cited

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004186

earlier po. So, regularly po

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004187

nag-me-meet ang ating DBCC para

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004188

makita kung ano yung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004189

achievable dito po sa mga micro

para po doon sa

kinakailangan pang

asr-004193

pagkunan ng revenue

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004194

para ma-reach po natin yung

necessary expenditures ng ating government

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004198-split-2

Okay,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004199

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, ito

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004200

kasi yung ano, and this is where I'm coming from,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004201

for 2027 government

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004202

presently programs

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004203

5.2 trillion

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004204

revenues, as mentioned earlier,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004205

pero meron tayong disbursements na

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004206

6.9 trillion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004207

So, yun pa lang, there would be a budget

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004208

deficit of 1.69

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004209

trillion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004210

That this deficit is already 5.1

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004211

of projected GDP.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004212

Weak growth creates pressure

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004213

from both directions. First,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004214

revenues can underperform. Second,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004215

the denominator to GDP

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004216

is smaller than expected.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004217

So, what will happen to the

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004218

expenditure program of the

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004219

government when the

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004220

macro assumptions which we are using

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004221

fails?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004222

So, do we

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004223

impose new taxes?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004224

Do we cut on government

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004225

spending? So, anong mga

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004227

Anong programa, anong activity, anong pagkagagastos na ng gobyerno ang ihinto natin or mangungutang ba tayo ulit?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004228

So, Mr. Speaker, that's what we intend to do. We will maximize the non-tax revenue.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004229

We would also increase the dividend rate from 50% to 75% in order that we can actually guarantee a possible actualization of these microeconomic assumptions, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004230

And apart from that, of course, baka mag-ano tayo.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004231

Yung ano po, yung...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004232

Yung privatization na tinitingnan po natin as earlier mentioned, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004233

How much would those generate? For example, yung increasing non-tax revenues.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004234

Ang collection from non-tax revenues natin, ang expected natin is just 2.52 point...

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004235

Well, isa na natin, 2.53 billion. Malit lang ito.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004236

Kahit na... How much more can we increase this?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004237

Yung privatization natin, how much more would it...

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004238

Would it be able to generate?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004239

Well, again, Mr. Speaker, there are a lot of venues where we can actually generate.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004240

But again, we are also looking at, DOF is also looking at, possibly, kung hindi talaga kaya na yung nage-generate natin ng non-tax and tax revenues,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004241

talagang mag-incur po tayo into additional borrowing.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004242

Yun lamang po talaga yung paano mo talaga kung how do we finance these government expenditures that we actually...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004243

we expected versus the revenue that we collect.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004244

So, meron din talaga hong deficit. We don't deny that, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004245

That's why we are very much aggressive in coming up with these assumptions

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004246

and with partnering also with the possibility of identifying yung non-tax revenue

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004247

and yung tax revenue na nakakolekta po natin with the inter-dividends interest of raising it to 75%

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004248

para to compensate with the much-needed...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004249

much-needed po na revenue na para ma...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004250

at least mag-close po natin yung gap doon sa deficit na sinasabi po ng ating kagalang-galang na interpellator, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004251

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004252

Kasi going into 2027 with the backdrop of our current economic position,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004253

wouldn't it be more prudent to propose a lower national government...

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004254

a lower budget proposal?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004255

Spending, spending. Again, Mr. Speaker...

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004256

Kasi baka masyado tayong ma-off sa ating target.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004257

So, prudence would dictate that a lower budget proposal be approved by Congress.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004258

Now, ganito po, kagaya ng sinabi ko sa inyo kanina, we still have to bridge the gap.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004259

7.2 trillion proposal, 5.2...

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004260

Trillion naman yung revenues which our tax and untaxed revenue sources could generate.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004261

So, may kulang tayong 2 billion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004262

Now, how do we plan to bridge this gap?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004263

We will secure a loan.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004264

Narinig kong pinag-usapan nyo kanina ni Congressman Erice that there would be...

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004265

the government will secure about 3.4 trillion in loans to be able to bridge the gap.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004266

Would that be correct?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004267

Let me go back to the...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004268

Then we go back to the exact figures, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004269

Pero ang alam ko, based on sinabi ko po sa inyo,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004270

there's really that intention to be aggressive about...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004271

You know, loan is just the last thing that we need to...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004272

We need to contemplate on and actually get.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004273

I mean, bangutang.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004274

Pero hindi naman po lahat nung sinasabing...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004275

Medyo magkaroon ng austerity measure ang spending ng government.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004276

I think it is not necessarily translate into a prudent economic management kung lower yung government spending.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004277

I think part of also boosting the economy is also proper.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004278

I mean, spending, government spending.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004279

It's just a matter of making it directly proper, directed to a specific program that would really add up to...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004280

the entire economic activity of the country.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004281

So, hindi naman po dapat, I think, sa aking palagay, magkaroon ng austerity measure in terms of spending.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004282

In fact, public spending should be encouraged.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004283

Only that, it should be well-implemented, well-targeted, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004284

ang pag-implementan ng mga programa.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004285

Okay. Yung dalawang aspeto, sabi mo yung sa loan muna, dadako muna ako sa loan,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004286

that we do not intend to secure a loan.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004287

We are securing a loan to bridge the gap between the 5.2 revenue and the 7.2 budget proposal.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004288

Pero doon, kita mo, doon sa ating borrowing sa 3.3 trillion, paano yung magiging breakdown nito?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004289

Doon sa ating fiscal program, 7.2 trillion is the proposed budget, 6.9 trillion projected cash disbursement,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004290

5.2 trillion projected revenues.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004291

Kung tama, there will be a fiscal deficit, as I mentioned earlier, of around 1.6 trillion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004292

Gross borrowing, ito yung utangin natin, 3.3 trillion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004293

Now, doon sa 3.3 trillion, how much will be used for principal amortization?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004294

Okay. Ito po ang 1.34 trillion po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004295

Okay. 1.34 trillion to pay the maturing domestic debt obligation.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004296

Ito po yung tinatanong yung amortization.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004297

At meron pong 254 billion pesos to refinance po yung maturing external debt obligations po natin.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004298

So, that's about how much?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004299

You want the total, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004300

Ito ah, if we have our figures correct.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004301

Ewan ko, bakit [unclear] yung figures natin?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004302

Principal amortization is

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004303

1.59 trillion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004304

Is that correct?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004305

1.34

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004306

Plus 254 billion.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004307

So, pareho po.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004308

Then, magkano naman for net financing?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004309

1.69 trillion pesos po.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004310

Okay. So, roughly,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004311

roughly,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004312

doon sa ating,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004313

sa ating ihirami na pera,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004314

halos lahat nito magagamit natin for,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004315

debt servicing and principal amortization.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004316

Well, financing and amortization, doon maubos.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004317

Now, nabanggit mo kanina is that we also need to be able to prime the economy.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004318

Sabi mo nga, importante rin yung government spending.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004319

But, the implications of government consumption,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004320

assuming that there would be a temporary increase in government spending,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004321

we cannot rely on it wholly to support yung ating GDP.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004322

Because yung,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004323

we also have to look towards the long-term capacity to finance a 7.2 trillion budget eh.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004324

Through substantial investment.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004325

Coming from,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004326

from other sources.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004327

Hindi pwede yung gobyerno lang ang kumikita.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004328

Dahil nga yung ating ekonomiya is not naman an export-driven economy.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004329

We are,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004330

we are,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004331

we are a consumption-driven economy.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004332

And pagka yung gobyerno lang ang gumagastos,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004333

it doesn't really improve yung ating situation.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004334

Ang concern ko ah,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004335

we will,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004336

our debt is already pegged at 19.39 trillion by the end of July 2026.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004337

The problem with the slower GDP growth is,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004338

matematical,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004339

the debt stock can continue increasing

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004340

while the economy against which that debt is measured,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004341

grows more slowly.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004342

So the government's fiscal strategy assumes eventual consolidation.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004343

The deficit is supposed to decline from 5.4 GDP in 2026,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004344

5.1 in 2027,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004345

and then 3.5 by 2030.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004346

Pero,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004347

how do we concretely achieve this?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004348

These projections?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004349

Ah, well,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004350

well,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004351

ang siyang position po talaga,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004352

ang position po,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004353

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004354

ng DOF is that

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004355

we really need to get to be more

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004356

into government spending

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004357

para po matulungan ang ating bansa

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004358

sa paglago po ng ekonomiya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004359

I think just to specifically cite just an example,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004360

part of that also is to get more aggressive in the capital investment,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004361

alimbawa sa per,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004362

per, ano,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004363

per agencies,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004364

para po makapag-boost po ng local economy.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004365

I think in the macro,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004366

macro analysis of things,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004367

no,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004368

when it comes to boosting the local trade is

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004369

to be more aggressive in government spending.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004370

At nakita naman po datin yan,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004371

based on the macro assumption,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004372

as we get the target,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004373

bumaba ba naman po yung ating debt to GDP,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004374

no,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004375

over the years.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004376

So,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004377

we hope that,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004378

again,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004379

kung hindi po natin ito gagastusin

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004380

o hindi gagastus ng mas aggressive,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004381

ang paniwala po ng ating

asr-004387

mag-slow down po nga ang ating growth

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004389

which is to bring down

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004390

the debt to GDP,

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004398

the real data going into 2027

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004399

actually is a cautionary tale for us

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004400

that we have to be more prudent

and in the proportionality,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004403

in the proposed budget that we will approve.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004404

Considering that the not so rosy economic outlook,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004405

kaya nga sinasabi ko,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004406

maybe we should act more prudently.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004407

Okay lang naman talaga to run a budget deficit.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004408

Okay lang to secure loans.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004409

But, for example,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004410

the loan that we secured,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004411

as I mentioned,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004412

a big portion of it will fall to debt servicing,

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004413

not really to,

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004414

on projects that will help pump prime the economy,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004415

that will,

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004416

supposedly,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004417

kung doon mapupunta,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004418

would be an additional,

mag-disperse sa LGUs,

na kung qualified po ay

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004521

maaari pong ibigay.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004522

Pwede po bang malaman, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004523

good sponsor, ano po ba yung kasalukuyang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004524

sistema ng pag-access

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004525

ng People's Survival Fund?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004526

At siguro po para sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004527

kaalaman ng publiko,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004528

Dahil po sa batas, ay established na po ito since 2012, nabigyan ng opening balance ng isang bilyong piso,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004529

kung saan LGUs, community organizations, may apply for funding for their adaptation activities and other methods by which gusto natin na-exhibit yung climate mitigation, climate resiliency,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004530

na dapat lahat po tayo ay nasa sagawa under the National Climate Action Plan. Ngunit, yun nga po, isang ibang usapin yung pagpondo nito na nasa DOF po, because of the People's Survival Fund.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004531

Ano na po ba yung kasalukuyang sistema nito? At magkano na po ba ang disbursed galing po sa unang isang bilyong pisong granted po nito noong 2012?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004532

Well, tama po. Meron pong proseso kung paano po ang mga LGUs mag-a-apply nitong pondo na ito. It goes through the regular vetting process.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004533

Tapos pag napasado po doon sa vetting process ng mga LGUs na pag-apply nila, pag-request nila, nagre-release po ang Department of Finance ng kaukulang pondo.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004534

Sa ngayon po, based on 2025 data,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004535

meron na pong nai-release na P401,681,000.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Sa kasalukuyang year, taon, meron na pong P568,938,765.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

36.74% po ito doon sa nakalaan sa GAA of 2026.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004539

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004543

Maaari po ba yun magawa, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004544

Yes po, magpaprovide po kami ng kakopya ng kriteriya o paano maka-avail.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Gusto lang namin po i-inform din sa magalang-galang na interpolator.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004548

Ang clarification ko po, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004549

Ang sinabi po ng figures, yung P401,000,000, this was just disbursed last year?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004550

Tama po,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004550-split-2

last year.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004551

At this year?

568 million?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004553

Opo.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004554

Okay.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004555

P568,000,000.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004556

Ano po yun, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004557

P568,000,000.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004558

While cumulative po yung kanyang disbursement, Mr. Speaker, your honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004559

Itong P568,930,000.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004560

Tama po yung figure nila.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004561

Madam Speaker, good sponsor, meron po bang datos ang DOF?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004562

Sa magkano na po yung nag-disbursement?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004563

Sa magkano na po yung nag-disbursed ng ahensya simula noong nagkaroon ng People's Survival Fund?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004564

Yun na po, cumulative po yun eh. Starting from 2020.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004565

So to correct, cumulative po ito. So since existence…

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004566

Yes,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004567

we adopt

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004568

the previous releases. So since 2018, meron pong P29,087,000.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004569

Yun po yung start. We can just provide you po the data.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004570

Tingin po tayo ng kopya ng report, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, kung magkano po yung nag-disbursed per year at anong porsyento po yung nag-disbursed kada taon.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004571

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004572

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004573

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004574

Ang remarkable lang po sa akin dito, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, ay it's been existent for how many years now?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004575

15, 16? Tapos ngayon pa lang po umabot ng 568 million. So tama po noon na report niyo, 36%. Ito po yung current utilization rate ng 1 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004576

Yes, that's correct po, Mrs. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004577

Ilang beses na po ba na-replenish yung People's Survival Fund?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004578

Ayon po kasi sa batas, maaari po siyang ma-replenish. So ang 1 billion, ito po yung starting amount, and meron pong provision which says that hindi po dapat bababa sa 1 billion yung nasa laman ng People's Survival Fund.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004579

So ilang beses na po ba siya na-replenish, if at all, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004580

Yes, that's correct.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004581

So, Mrs. Speaker, dahil ito ay cumulative, Mrs. Speaker, depende rin po dun sa disbursement kasi nga may process talaga ito mag-avail. So starting from its implementation, more than 3 times na po na-replenish itong pondo na ito.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004582

More than 3 times na po na-replenish. Magkano na po siya ngayon, Mrs. Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004583

1.5. To be exact, 1.548 million and 59,000, Mrs. Speaker, your honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004584

So ano po rin yung sources ng replenishment na ito? Ito po ba ay galing sa budget primarily or meron po ba itong donations na nakakuha, dito po nilagay, as per law, na maaari naman pong mangyari?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004585

So the General Appropriations Act lang po, Mrs. Speaker, ang sources ng replenishment itong pondo na ito, Mrs. Speaker, your honor. Wala pong ibang other sources.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004586

Okay.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004587

Maaari po bang magsumiti ang ahensya kung ano po yung mga proyektong na-disbursan ng People's Survival Fund for the past years of its existence? Would that be possible po?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004587-split-2

Yes po. Magbibigay po kami ng kaukulang datos simula po itong nagumpisa, implementation nito. At kung sino po yung naka-avail nito at nabigyan itong assistance na ito, Mrs. Speaker, your honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004588

Madam Speaker, good sponsor, tinatanong po natin ito dahil simula noong napasa.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004589

Yung Climate Change Act noong 2009 at napasa yung amendments nito that established the People's Survival Fund noong 2012, noong marami pong tumingin dito sa adaptation fund na ito, no, essentially, no, domestic adaptation fund.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004590

Para po ang iba't ibang mga LGU, kahit mga community organizations, civil society organizations, magawa nila yung iba't ibang advokasya nila sa pangklima.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004591

to resist climate change by applying, no, for a grant or for disbursement here. Ngunit, the knowledge that only 568 million has been disbursed in more than 15 years, for me, ay hindi natin na ma-maximize yung People's Survival Fund.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004592

Sa ideal, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, kung nagagawa natin na ma-exhaust yung 1 billion sa isang taon,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004593

basta na-insure po ng DOF, ng Climate Change Commission, ng mga iba't ibang ahensya, kahit ng DBM po, no, na lahat po ng nagagrantan nito ay naayon sa National Climate Action Plan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004594

at talagang may na-me-measure na tangible effects para mapigilan yung climate change, ay that's 1 billion pesos well spent, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004595

So, ang tanong po natin, bakit po for 15 years or more?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004596

568 million lang yung na-disburst niya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004597

Well, unang-una po, Mrs. Speaker, sabi ko na sa advance po sa sinasabi namin na meron po talagang proseso ito, kung paano po ito maka-avail at the same time.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004598

Yung replenishment naman po ito is based on, yung cumulative nga po yung pag-release as what the data says, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004599

Ngayong tindihan po namin, in fact, sinasuportahan po natin ng DOF yung katayuan.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004600

Yung position po ng ating kagalang-galang na interpolator dahil I think we also need to do more.

Kasi this is something that, this is a funding that really goes straight to the protection of our environment.

So, kami po ang Department of Finance nakikiisa po kung anuman po yung mga programa na maaaring mas mapaganda at mapabilis yung usage na ito.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

hindi lang po sa protection ng ating

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004692

na programs

program na ito na sourced out from this

po natin yan. And if the good

lady, I'm sure she's

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004710

siguro huling tanong na lang po natin tungkol dito

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004711

bago po tayo mag-proceed sa ating

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004712

manifestasyon.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004713

Nasabi po naman na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004714

nasa website ang iba't-ibang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004715

mga proseso, pero I think

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004716

we can all attest

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004717

na kahit anong kaganda ng website

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004718

natin, ako po, nabisita ko yung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004719

website ng PSF sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004720

DOF, pero hindi pa rin

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004721

nakahikayat, yun po yung reality, na mas

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004722

maraming makapag-apply, no,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004723

na makakuha ng

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004724

disbursement sa People's Survival

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004725

Fund na makakabuti sana sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004726

mga komunidad. Ano po bang mga nakikitang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004727

bottlenecks ng

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004728

DOF sa paggamit

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004729

ng People's Survival Fund, if any?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004730

Ano po bang commitment or ano po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004731

bang aktibidad na ginagawa ng DOF para

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004732

ma-resolve yung bottlenecks na ito?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004733

Yes, okay, so

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004734

sa kasalukuyin po,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004735

ini-improve po talaga itong

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004736

programang ito,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004737

nakikipag-ugnayan po ang Department of

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004738

Finance sa DBP.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004739

Development Bank of the Philippines

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004740

para po ma-streamline

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004741

po yung processes,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004742

at the same time ay mas mapabilis

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004743

yung releases,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004744

at the same time, hindi ma-compromise po yung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004745

quality ng mga programa

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004746

ng nais isagawa nitong mga

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004747

LGUs na nais po mag-partake

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004748

ng itong pondo na ito, Mrs. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004749

So it's an ongoing adjustment

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004750

as well as improvement, Mrs. Speaker, on the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004751

process itself, and the releases of

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004752

these funds, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004753

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004754

mahingi na lang po tayo

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004755

ng kopya ng list of

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004756

recommendations or reports

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004757

na ito yung sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004758

DOF, no, na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004759

pagtingin nila na bottle

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004760

necks, at kung ano po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004761

ang nire-resolva pa nila kasama ng

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004762

DBP para mas marami po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004763

ang maka-access nito sa puno't dulo.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004764

Magbibigay din po ng listahan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004765

ng mga rekomendasyon.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004766

ang kinatawan na ito at the proper time and avenue.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004767

Pero siguro, I open this up on the floor, Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004768

because ito yung mga isapin kapag pinag-uusapan natin yung climate finance.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004769

Meron tayong commitments sa Paris Agreement, gusto natin ma-actualize sila,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004770

pero pagdating naman po sa paglalabas talaga ng pera para ma-actualize ito,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004771

ayaw natin nang mabagal sila, o kaya naman ay hindi naman mangyayari

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004772

dahil po it will end up in paperwork hell.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004773

So, ang dulo naman po nito, gusto natin at the end of it ay mas madali,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004774

pero tama pa rin yung accountability na ma-access yung People's Survival Fund.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004775

And I'd like to put on the record that I think going into 2027,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004776

dapat po mas hands-on tayo sa pag-disperse nito or even paggamit nito bilang mekanismo,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004777

papalapit na ang Super El Niño.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004778

So, ang maaari po natin gawin, this representation adopts the recommendation of Action Klima

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004779

na dapat the People's Survival Fund should open a fast-track window for El Niño responsive projects

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004780

with its board possibly designating half of its current budget for more rapid disbursement

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004781

through a simplified

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004785

application process and project cycle.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004786

Fifth and sixth class municipalities in particular,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004787

projected to be hard-hit by the Super El Niño should be prioritized,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004788

especially in implementing projects such as rainwater harvesting,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004789

crop diversification, and watershed management.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004790

Madam Speaker, good sponsor, magbibigay naman po tayo ng list of recommendations at the proper time.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004791

Yes, we appreciate, Mrs. Speaker, itong mga namimention po na recommendation

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004792

ng kinatawan ng kabataan party list.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004793

In fact, ang position po ng DOF ay nais po nilang makakuha itong recommendation na ito

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004794

nang sa ganun ay maging basihan din po ito sa ongoing improvement po sa Social People's Protection Fund na ito po,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004795

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004796

So, nagpapasalamat po kami and then the DOF is willing to work with Congresswoman Renee Co

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004797

para po mas mapa-improve pa natin, mas papadali at mas matulungan natin ang mga komunidad

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004798

ngangailangan.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004799

ng ganitong klaseng pondo para po sa proteksyon, hindi lang po ng kalakasan nila

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004800

pero proteksyon po sa kanilang mga constituents, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004801

Salamat po, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004802

Ang sunod po nating tanong ay tungkol naman po sa Bureau of Customs.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004803

Ito po ay tungkol naman din sa usapin ng electronic waste na nakita natin na tinambak sa Subic

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004804

some 253, if I remember correctly,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004805

containers of that, na nahirapan yung Bureau of Customs to exercise its mandate, legal mandate, para po tuloy-tuloy na ma-check yung anuman po yung nandito sa mga containers na ito.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004806

Noted po natin na nagkaroon po ng joint inspection on the nine recycling site, nine recycling locators in Subic, July 1 this year, kasama ng SBMA at DNRM EMD. Ano pong findings ng joint inspection na ito, Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004807

Kung maaari lang po lamang, magre-refer lang po ako sa data.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004808

Pero alam ko, just while they're looking at the data, sa Bureau of Customs po, ito pong nami-mention po na mga, okay, ito pong mga e-waste na mga cargo po, for a certain period of time, kasi what is important po, Mr. Speaker, is hindi po nila dito tinatangbak.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004809

Pinapabalik po nila ito sa country of origin, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004810

So kung meron man lang pong time na nandoon sa isang lugar, dyan po sa na-mention na lugar po ng ating kagalang-galang na kinatawan, ng kabataan party, this is only good for a certain number of days because it really requires that they need to be processed first and then makuha po yung number so that kailangan po yung documentation before the Bureau of Customs.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004811

And it sends them back to the country of origin.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004812

Maaari na lang po bang humingi ng kopya ng report tungkol po sa findings of this joint inspection?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004813

Pero we raise this line of questioning, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, dahil po ang pagtambak ng e-waste, or rather, ang illegal importation of e-waste papuntang subik galing United States ay hindi po sang-ayon sa Basel Convention.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004814

At under the Basel...

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004815

At under the Basel Convention na ating niratipika ay ang essentially agency na in charge sa pag-ensure na ito ay nasusunod other than the DEN or andyan ang Bureau of Customs.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004816

So it's good to hear na itong July 1 and subsequent inspections ay napapabalik na po sa country of origin yung mga tunetuneladang mga e-waste na pumupunta.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004817

Dito sa ating bansa, ayaw po natin na maging tambakan ng basura ang Pilipinas, gaya po ng ginagawa ng ibang mayamang bansa sa Southeast Asia.

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004818

So, I'd like a commitment, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, on the floor, tuloy-tuloy na ba ang cooperation to ensure that illegal imports of electronic waste and toxic waste on the area is strictly prohibited under our law?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004819

Yes, Mrs. Speaker, we can guarantee that we will call the support.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004820

Yes, Mrs. Speaker, just to add on to the previous response that I gave to the good lady from Kabataan Party List, it's not only about Customs' role and duty to send back these e-waste cargos,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004821

but even the DNR also requires them to have a clear position on this.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004822

I think this is an ongoing discussion between the Bureau of Customs and the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and Natural Resources.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004823

Yes.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004824

So on the part of the Customs, kaya nga po nagko-cause ito ng possible alarm sa environment as well as health environment, they send them back. But as to the position of the good lady, whether the Bureau of Customs stands on whatever treaties, agreements, international covenants that we have entered into,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004825

definitely, we will keep solidly comply with whatever the directives from all these treaties and covenants.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004826

I think the Philippine government has said, entered into, Mrs. Speaker, your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004827

Okay, maraming salamat, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004828

Siguro ang huling na lang nating line of questioning din tungkol dito ay meron ding nakumpirma na containers na intercepted ng Bureau of Customs.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004829

Meron po noong July 25, and according to Inquirer, it contains scrap copper from the U.S. arrived aboard MV Tokyo Express.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004830

And meron din po isa pa na kinumpirma.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004831

ng August 22 na suspected electronic waste.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004832

And as far as we know, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004833

wala pang inilalabas na report para sa ikalawang shipment na pinatigil.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004834

Maari po bang malaman ano yung findings

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004835

ng other interceptions na ginawa ng Bureau of Customs?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004836

At pwede po bang ikumpirma,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004837

electronic waste po ba ang laman ng shipments na ito?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004838

At galing sa anong bansa?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004839

...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004840

Mrs. Speaker, apologies for that. Uh, Mr. Speaker, these are scrap metals upon assessment by the Bureau of Customs.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004841

Pero when they are being tested, I think electronically,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004842

mayroon nagpa-positive siya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004843

So I think these are the scrap metals used in hospitals,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004844

maybe those devices that used radioactive.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004845

That's why they're still continuing to...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004846

still continuing...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004847

They're still continuing on assessing these.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004848

So magbibigay na lang po daw ang Bureau of Customs ng report,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004849

assessment report, patungkol po dito sa sinasa...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004850

minimension po ng ating kagalang-galang na interpreter,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004851

Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004852

Hintayin din po natin yung ulat na ito,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004853

pero para po rin sa clarification,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004854

galing po sa anong bansa itong ikalawa na shipment?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004855

Galing po ng United States po, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004856

Pero may iba-iba po na point of origin.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004857

Meron pong mga other European countries,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004858

for example, those cargos,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004859

e-waste cargos that came from the United States,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004860

pinabalik na po natin yan sa country of origin.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004861

But the other, it's still being assessed

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004862

and magbibigay po kami ng report,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004863

kagalang-galang na interpreter, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004864

Madam Speaker, good sponsor, hintayin po natin yung ulat

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004865

at hingi rin po tayo ng ulat sa tatlong interceptions

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004866

na ginawa ng Bureau of Customs.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004867

Andiyan po yung sa July 1, July 25, and August 18.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004868

Siguro to note na lang on the record, Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004869

under the Basel Ban Amendment na at tayo'y signatory din,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004870

hindi po maaari mag-export ang bansang U.S.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004871

even ang mga bansa ng OECD,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004872

so it includes European countries,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004873

sa labas ng kanilang mga grupo.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004874

So hindi po pwede sa Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004875

So Madam Speaker, good sponsor, ang huli na lang nating tanong ay

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004876

alam natin na may RTC ruling na inalabas last year na nagsasabi

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004877

na ang Subic Bay Freeport Zone ay outside customs territory

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004878

over which public respondents, BOC, and POS can exercise jurisdiction.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004879

Has this impeded the mandate of the BOC to report and inspect suspicious

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004880

and possibly illegal shipments within the SBMA?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004881

At naapektoan po ba nito ang nakaraang mga pagpatitigil

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004882

ng mga shipments of e-waste?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004883

Meron naman po, Mrs. Speaker, proper coordination

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004884

ang Subic Free Zone, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004885

at hindi naman po na-interrupt o naantala kung ano po yung mandatong

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004886

binigay po sa Bureau of Customs, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004887

So may proper coordination naman pong nangyayari at I would say na hindi po

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004888

both, narirespeto naman po yung mandato ng ating pangunahing ahensya

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004889

para po to make sure na yung pagpasok po dito sa ating bansa ng mga goods

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004890

ay legal at hindi po dumaan sa mga iligal na pamamaraan,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004891

Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004892

Thank you po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004893

Ito na lang po ang huli nating mga tanong.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004894

Tungkol naman po ito sa tax deduction sa mga negosyo dahil po sa batas na RA 10754

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004895

that expands the benefits and privileges of persons with disabilities.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004896

Sa PWD tax deduction ng mga establishments,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004897

Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004898

bukod sa kakulangan o hindi talaga pagsumite ng mga records of sales kasama ang mga pangalan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004899

ng persons with disability, PWD ID,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004900

at kung applicable yung TIN nila,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004901

may iba po bang pwedeng rason kung bakit magdedisallow ang claim para sa tax deduction?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004902

Mrs. Speaker, Your Honors,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004903

sa palagay po namin under the BIR,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004904

wala po namang mga cases wherein dinidisallow yung claim na lalo-lalo na po

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004905

by PWD because this is also enforcement ito po ng batas.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004906

Lahat po nang may mga exception, discounts na lalo-lalo na po itong mga persons with disability,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004907

ay dapat po talaga na magkaroon po silang ng discount sa kanilang,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004908

any transaction that they entered into by virtue of the compliance with the law.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004909

Mrs. Speaker, Your Honors.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004910

Unfortunately, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004911

pinapatungkol na po natin ito siguro sa Bureau of Internal Revenue,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004912

meron pong mga nakarating na ulat sa amin na mga maliliit na nagninegosyo

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004913

na hindi napapayagan ang claim nila para sa tax deductions.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004914

Naging isa nung usap-usapin yung pagkakaroon ng fake PWD ID.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004915

Ngunit, para sa kinatawa na ito, hindi po dapat ipinapasa ang bigat ng pagtitiyak na lehitimo ang PWD IDs

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004916

o kung ano pang mga records na isinumite lang naman po sa kanila sa mga establishments, lalo na sa small businesses.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004917

Yes, may online verification system, pero hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon na na-update ito.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004918

So, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, final manifestation na lang na baka po pwedeng imbestigahan ito

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004919

at makahingi na rin ng mga detalye ukol po dito kung meron naman pong nakapagsumite ng any grievance

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004920

na katulad ng inihain ngayon dito sa floor na gusto natin hindi na po maulit, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor.

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004923

Yes. Yes.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004924

Aaksyonan po yan ng BIR at gusto po namin kung maaari magbigay po kayo sa

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004925

ating kang galang-galang nakabataan party list representative ng listahan kung saan po itong mga negosyo,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004926

ano po yung mga negosyo ito, saan lugar, para po ma-imbestigahan ng Bureau of Internal Revenue, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004927

Hindi po natin ito tolerate yung mga ganyan, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Ang pinupuntahan po ng hydropower ay tatanggapin po kung saan ito pupunta.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004935

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004936

Una, para mabilis tayo, yes or no na lang.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004937

Sige po.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004938

FIRB, are you willing to revisit FIRB Resolution No. 24-87?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004939

Yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004940

If you are willing, for the record, ano yung hakbang na gagawin ninyo para ma-resolve ba yung issue ng mga electric cooperatives sa kanilang income tax exemption?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004941

Nakala ko ba yes or no answer lang?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004942

Hindi, yun na nga. Yung hakbang.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004943

...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004944

Again, the part of that process is also we will take the advice of the Department of Justice, isa po yun sa mga particular na steps just to confirm the legality,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004945

Mrs. Speaker, itong resolution po na ito, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004946

Yung bang legality na yan includes raising the issue to the Department of Justice?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004947

Yes or no ninyo?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004948

Tama po yun. Yes.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004949

Yes. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor. Thank you, FIRB.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004950

Ang susunod ko pong katanungan, sobrang taas na po ang ating kuryente. Sobrang taas na po ang ating oil.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004951

So, papayag po ba ang ating Bureau of Internal Revenue, Department of Finance Family, naarali ninyo yung isang scheme, no?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004952

na

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004953

Halimbawa,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004955

mayroon naman talaga kayong ginagawang price reference to project magkano yung revenue natin sa oil, sa electricity.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004956

Mayroon po ba tayong price reference na ginagawa para mabuo yung target natin revenue for the year?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004957

Mayroon po, Mrs. Speaker, kasama po yun sa macro assumptions po na pinresenta po natin kanina.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004958

So, yes or no lang sana yun eh?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004959

Yes po. Yes po.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004960

So, ngayon.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004961

Kung halimbawa, ang price reference natin sa diesel ay 60 pesos.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004962

Ngayon, pag umabot ng 140 pesos, definitely napakataas yung more than double yung windfall natin kasi nakapix yung 12%.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004963

Pwede po ba ninyong aralin na kapagka umabot na ng 70, 80, 90, I'm not saying na...

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004964

Huwag nating kuliktahin.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004965

Kuliktahin pa rin natin para walang mawawala doon sa price reference.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004966

Kahit kuliktahin pa natin yung excess sa price reference, pero papayag ba kayo aralin ninyo kung anong hanggang anong liby lang.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004967

Halimbawa, umabot na ng 140, hanggang anong amount lang na pwede pa nating patawan ng tax.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004968

70, 80, 90.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004969

So, siguro, sobra na yun. Walang mawawala sa atin.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004970

Okay, pag-aaralan po yan, Mr. Speaker, at magandang rekomendasyon po yan, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004971

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004972

Doon sa kuryente, ganon din po ang gagawin natin.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004973

Ang gumagalaw sa kuryente, yung generation charge.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004974

Hindi po gumagalaw yung distribution, supply, metering charge.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004975

Generation at transmission lang.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004976

Pwede din po bang aralin ng DOF, BIR, na

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004978

magkaroon

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004979

tayo ng

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004982

threshold.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004983

Halimbawa, magpasa tayo ng batas,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004984

uutosan natin ang Energy Regulatory Commission

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004985

to issue the benchmark of generation cost per type of technology.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004986

Halimbawa, ang coal-fired na planta ay 8 pesos yung benchmark.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004987

Kapag nagmahal yung coal,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004988

o abot siya ng 10, 12,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004989

na hindi na natin patawan yung halimbawa 8, 9, sige, i-charge pa natin, 9.50, 10.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004990

Baka pupwede naarali natin na hindi na natin patawan yung sobrang-sobrang na kasi yung ibang nagbabayad ng kuryente,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004991

kawawa, hindi ninyo nakita kasi manok na lang ang ibigay para hindi maputulan.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004992

Can you commit naarali ninyo yan?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004993

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-004994

Mayroon pong pag-aaral na po ginagawa, sinasagawa ngayon, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004995

So, that's all.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004996

Kuryente lang na po, Sir.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004997

Nag-issue na si DBCC ba?

asr-004998

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004999

Yung ano ngayon natin, yung suspension ng...

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005000

Sinong nag-issue?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005001

Yung suspension natin yung LPG ba?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005002

At saka excise tax?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005003

May in-issue na tayo?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005004

Nag-recommend po nito,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005005

ang DBCC.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005006

Nag-recommend na?

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005007

Yes, nag-recommend ba sa Presidente, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005008

Ang LPG?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005009

Pumirma na rin po ang Department of Finance, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005010

Okay. So, maraming salamat at na-recommend na ninyo.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005011

Ang tanong ko, yung aviation fuel ay LPG yun.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005012

Kasama po ba ang aviation fuel?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005013

Hindi po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005014

Hindi po kasama yung aviation fuel, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005015

Hindi kasama.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005016

Ngayon, last na katanungan.

Distinguished Sponsor,

asr-005019

kapag ka sinuspend ni Presidente yung tax na yan,

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005020

anong mekanisim at anong agency ang mag-monitor

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005021

na yung reduction dahil...

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005022

Reduction in cost dahil sa suspension ay totoong na-replique.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005023

Halimbawa, sa pump price, sa cost of products and services.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005024

Dahil kung hindi natin na-monitor yun,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005025

baka nawalan tayo ng rebinyo,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005026

kumita pa lalo yung mga nagninigosyo.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005027

Mayroon bang mekanisim? Anong agency?

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005028

Mayroon po, Mr. Speaker, ang DOE po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005029

Ang DOE, pag gumaba po ng $80 per liter ang ating gasolina,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005030

sasabihan po ng DOE,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005031

na-advise niya po ang Department of Finance.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005032

I hope, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005033

I hope na kakayanin ng Department of Energy yung monitoring.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005034

Alam ko, ilang tao lang yung Department of Energy.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005035

Siguro, tingnan to ng Department of Finance

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005036

kasi nasasayang yung gusto natin, yung objective,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005037

ay napoporfit kung hindi makareplique

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005038

ang nabawas doon sa cost sa retail price or pump price.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005039

I hope na titignan ulit ng DOF

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005040

kung kakayanin ni DOE.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005041

Kung hindi, gagawa tayo ng pamamaraan na talagang mabawas yun.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005042

Sa ngayon po, binabantayan po ng DOE, again,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005043

ongoing po naman talaga yung adjustment po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005044

So, definitely, babantayan po ng DOE.

can I request for a few minutes suspension?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005072-split-2

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005073

Ah, to the sponsor. Well, ang paksa po natin would be ah debt, no, dahil sa Department of Finance po ito. Ah, so, o po, meron po tayong ilang mga um datos at presentation. Okay? So una, pinapakita po yung national government outstanding debt.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005074

Bumalik tayo ng isang dekada up to 2016 at kita po talaga natin yung pambihirang paglaki ng debt, no. Um, madalas sinasabi na lumaki daw ang utang lalo na nung panahon ng pandemya, ah, dahil kinailangang umutang, pero ah nagtuloy-tuloy ang paglaki nito hanggang sa kasalukuyan. So 2016, the national government outstanding debt stood at 6. 09 trillion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005075

Ah, and by 2026, 19. 77 77 trillion, although projected pa yan kasi hindi pa tapos ang taon. Tapos ang projection naman for 2027 will be 21. 48 trillion. No, ang mga datos na to nanggaling po sa BF. So galing din po sa DOF and economic managers. So yan po, para makita lang natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005076

And then the next tab there, added each year. Ay hindi po, hindi yan. Added each year. So dito po makikita yung ah nadagdag na utang kada taon, no? So, in other words, magkano ang dinagdag na utang ng, ah, for example, Duterte administration and then Marcos Jr. administration.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005077

So makikita natin na, ah, ayan po, well, totoo nung 2020 talagang lumaki ang inutang ng gobyerno, no. 2019, 0. 44 44 trillion ang nadagdag sa utang, pero nung ah 2020 ay lumobo po ito, 2. 06 trillion, no.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005078

At mula doon, ang pinakamababang nadagdag na was the year 2023, 1. 2 trillion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005079

And muli ngayong 2026, saabot sa 2.06 trillion, same level as 2020, pandemic.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005080

Tapos ang projection for 2027, 1.7 trillion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005081

So mamaya, ito total natin magkano yung inutang ng Marcos Jr. administration so far.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005082

O yung dinagdag niya sa total outstanding debt stock.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005083

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005084

So ang point po ay papalaki talaga ang utang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005085

And of course, pagpapalaki ang utang, papalaki rin ang binabayaran sa utang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005086

So balik na tayo dun sa debt service.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005087

Debt service, ayan na po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005088

So again, from 2016 to 2026 and then 2027.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005089

Yung blue, principal amortization.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005090

Yung orange, interest payments.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005091

So combined, nakita natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005092

Noong 2016, 0.79 trillion or 790 billion ang combined principal and interest payments.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005093

Pero ngayon nga, sa ilalim ng Marcos Jr.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005094

administration, ay papalaki ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005095

Especially in 2024, we see, umabot sa 2.02 trillion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005096

And then, there will, according to projections of DOF,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005097

2027, may malaking paglaki po ng babayaran sa utang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005098

2.7 trillion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005099

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005100

So, pabigat po ng pabigat ang ating debt burden.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005101

Kung baga, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005102

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005103

Ano po ang paliwanag?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005104

Bakit papalaki?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005105

Noong up to 2016 and before the pandemic,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005106

sinasabi talaga ng Department of Finance,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005107

nagiging manageable na raw

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005108

ang utang natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005109

At totoo nga,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005110

below 1 trillion na yung combined na binabayaran sa utang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005111

Pero ngayon, lumobo na.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005112

Over 2 trillion ang babayaran sa utang.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005113

Yes, Mr. Speaker, again,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005114

well, okay naman talaga, kung titignan mo naman talaga,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005115

Mr. Speaker, as what projected,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005116

tumataas yung utang.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005117

Pero this utang naman is not necessarily na

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005118

that would worry us.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005119

Kasi lumalaki yung utang natin,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005120

kasi lumalaki yung expenses na paggagamitan,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005121

then lumalaki yung ating ekonomiya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005122

Ang benchmark po naman talaga,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005123

pag, para makikita,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005124

sabi po natin ay medyo offhand na,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005125

ay babalik po tayo doon sa 56.4 benchmark natin

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005126

dun sa debt to GDP.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005127

Na doon naman ang benchmark naman is 70% rate

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005128

na masasabi.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005129

Halimbawa, doon sa benchmark po ng

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005130

International Monetary Fund,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005131

World Bank, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005132

na kung saan, pag ito po ay sumobra doon,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005133

ay doon po tayo,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005134

magkakaroon ng problema.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005135

Pero so far,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005136

medyo malayo pa po tayo doon.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005137

In fact, way below po tayo.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005138

So, yes, nangungutang po tayo

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005139

dahil po lumalago ang ating ekonomiya

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005140

at dumadami po ang paggagastusan

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005141

ng ating bansa,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005142

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005143

Lumalaki ang utang dahil lumalago

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005144

ang ekonomiya

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005145

at lumalaki ang gastusin.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005146

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005147

At may inflation na rin po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005148

Lumalaki rin ang bayad utang, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005149

Pero sinabi niyong lumalaki ang ekonomiya

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005150

although for this year in particular,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005151

malaki po ang binagal

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005152

ng paglaki ng ekonomiya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005153

hindi po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005154

Sabi po, second quarter of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005155

2.3% growth only.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005156

Samantalang ang target ng gobyerno

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005157

nasa mga gusto nila,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005158

4 to 6%,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005159

hindi po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005160

So, way below

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005161

even the projections of the economic manager.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005162

So, taliwas po sa sinasabi niyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005163

umuutang para lumago ang ekonomiya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005164

Sa totoo lang, lumaki ang utang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005165

pero bumabagal

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005166

and significantly bumagal

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005167

ang paglaki ng ekonomiya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005168

hindi po ba?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005169

Well, may kasabihan po tayo,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005170

No man is an island.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005171

So, ibig sabihin,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005172

ang ekonomiya on a larger scale,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005173

nag-apektohan din po yan

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005174

ng international lakalakaran.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005175

So, may nangyayari po,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005176

ngayon, nakaguluhan

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005177

sa gitnang silangan.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005178

So, hindi po natin inaasahan yun,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005179

mayroon talagang epekto po

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005180

sa ating ekonomiya.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005181

So, ito po ito sa mga factor

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005182

kung bakit medyo bumagal

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005183

yung sinasabi po natin,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005184

tumaas yung inflation,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005185

tumaas talaga yung gastusin

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005186

dahil po sa isang bagay

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005187

na hindi natin kontrolado.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005188

At is importante is,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005189

nagre-respond naman po tayo

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005190

at base po sa ating

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005191

macroeconomic assumptions,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005192

ito po ay nagdidirekta

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005193

sa ating paano ma-achieve ito

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005194

at nagungutang nga tayo.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005195

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005196

Dahil po yun nga,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005197

meron po talaga tayong

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005198

intended na pagagastusan

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005199

para lumago po

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005200

ang ating kalakaran sa ating

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005201

domestically,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005202

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005203

Well,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005204

No man is an island.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005205

May economic crisis,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005206

pandayigdigang economic crisis.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005207

You know, one main reason,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005208

of course,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005209

the U.S. war against Iraq.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005210

Sa kabila nun,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005211

ay pinakamabagal,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005212

isa sa mga pinakabagal,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005213

mabagal sa paglago

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005214

ang Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005215

Kung ikukumpara,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005216

kahit sa mga kapitbahay lang natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005217

sa Southeast Asia.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005218

For example,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005219

Singapore, 5.1%

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005220

for 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005221

Indonesia, 5.3%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005222

And Vietnam,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005223

8.2%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005224

So, sa kabila po ng,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005225

sa kabila ng,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005226

sabi mo nga, pare-parehong dumadaan sa crisis.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005227

Pero bakit yung mga kapitbahay?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005228

Imagine Vietnam,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005229

8.2%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005230

So, ibig sabihin po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005231

yes,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005232

lahat dumadaan sa crisis,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005233

pero dahil sa mga patakaran ng gobyerno,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005234

ay maaaring

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005235

maigpawan yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005236

Diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005237

And unfortunately,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005238

isa sa mga kulelat sa ASEAN,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005239

ang Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005240

Well, unang-una po, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005241

is dahil ang Pilipinas,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005242

we entire with our dependent on

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005243

oil supply.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005244

Hindi po tulad ng mga ating mga kapitbahay sa ASEAN

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005245

na may mga sarili po silang

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005247

Tulad ng Malaysia, Indonesia.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005248

So, unfortunately, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005249

this is what

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005250

the current situation right now

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005251

as far as, you know,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005252

as far as how we're dependent on

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005253

portation of international petroleum.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005254

And that international petroleum

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005255

prices is not being

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005256

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005257

Mr. Speaker, by the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005258

In fact, dumadaan po ito sa

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005259

samutsaring proseso.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005260

At bawat proseso po ito,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005261

may kaakibat po ito na

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005262

pandagdag presyo.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005274

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005275

Well,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005276

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005277

tama po, okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005278

Narinig po natin yung inyong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005279

paliwanag, pero

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005280

hindi sufficient na sabihin na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005281

well, yung iba kasi meron silang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005282

langis, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005283

Vietnam,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005284

dependent,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005285

heavily dependent on imports

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005286

as well, katulad natin sa Pilipinos,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005287

pero sabi nga, 8.2 sila.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005288

Tayo nasa little over 2%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005289

Pita, Tassid May,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005290

punta na tayo dun sa isa pang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005291

bahagi nung sinabi nyo na,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005292

lumalaki ang utang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005293

dahil lumalaki ang gastusin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005294

So, punta na natin dun sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005295

saan naman napupunta?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005296

Siguro yun yung importanteng tanong.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005297

Lumalaki ang utang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005298

para saan?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005299

At para kanino?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005300

Para saan yung utang?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005301

So, let's go then to the deficit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005302

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005303

At ang isang malinaw din

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005304

yung papalaking deficit spending

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005305

sa budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005306

Tignan po natin muna yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005307

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005308

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005309

hindi pa po yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005310

Yung deficit muna.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005311

The deficit which would be

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005312

hindi pa yan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005313

ang gusto natin makita.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005314

The budget deficit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005315

historically.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005316

Paano lumaki ang budget deficit?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005317

That would be another table.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005318

Another page.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005319

Ayan, yan na yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005320

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005321

So, yan yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005322

no, that's debt service.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005323

Anyway, mukhang nalilito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005324

yung ating

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005325

taga-presentation natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005326

Ahm,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005327

magkano po ang budget deficit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005328

noong 2020,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005329

20,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005330

2016

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005331

ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005332

nasa 353

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005333

billion po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005334

ang budget deficit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005335

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005336

Pero ngayong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005337

ah, 2026

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005338

ay umaabot ito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005339

sa,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005340

from 353 billion,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005341

umaabot na po sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005342

1.6

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005343

trillion pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005344

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005345

Ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005346

and in 2016,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005347

deficit was 13%

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005348

of the expenditure program.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005349

2026,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005350

24%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005351

So, mas malaking bahagi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005352

ng budget

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005353

ay pinupondohan ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005354

mainly utang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005355

Di ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005356

Deficit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005357

Yun ang ibig sabihin nun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005358

For 2027,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005359

ang projectional

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005360

ay,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005361

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005362

it will be

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005363

1.69.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005364

The deficit will be

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005365

1.69

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005366

trillion

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005367

pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005368

24%

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005369

of the total expenditures

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005370

out of the 7.2

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005371

billion budget

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005372

na proposed.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005373

Okay, so papalaki

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005374

ang deficit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005375

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005376

Pag sinabing deficit,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005377

ibig sabihin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005378

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005379

meron kang total budget,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005380

pero,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005381

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005382

merong porsyon

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005383

ng budget

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005384

na wala kang perang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005385

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005386

on hand,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005387

awak mo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005388

therefore,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005389

uutang ka.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005390

No, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005391

So, ganun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005392

Sabi nyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005393

dito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005394

ginagamit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005395

ang malaking bahagi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005396

ng utang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005397

Ngayon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005398

ang tanong,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005399

sa ano

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005400

ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005401

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005402

pinondohan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005403

ng utang na yan?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005404

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005405

So, punta na po tayo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005406

dun sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005407

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005408

saan nga ba

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005409

ginamit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005410

ang deficit,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005411

ang deficit spending?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005412

Meron na po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005413

ayan na po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005414

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005415

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005416

yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005417

Mag-focus na lang po tayo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005418

sa Marcos Jr.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005419

Administration.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005420

So, for

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005421

purposes of this

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005422

interpolation,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005423

let's look at the years

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005424

from 2023

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005425

to 2026

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005426

and the proposed

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005427

for 2027.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005428

So, ito yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005429

deficit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005430

spending

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005431

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005432

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005433

under the Marcos Jr.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005434

Administration.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005435

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005436

ang makikita po natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005437

dyan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005438

ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005439

2023,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005440

1.499

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005441

ang deficit spending.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005442

Yung pula,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005443

yan po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005444

yung mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005445

ilang items

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005446

sa budget

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005447

na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005448

nakakita

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005449

o na,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005450

ay,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005451

na nakakita

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005452

ng pambihirang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005453

paglaki.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005454

Diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005455

Yung unusual

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005456

or

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005457

kakaibang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005458

paglaki.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005459

Hindi lang yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005460

taon-taon

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005461

na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005462

more or less

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005463

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005464

naka-benchmark

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005465

sa inflation

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005466

among others,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005467

no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005468

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005469

Ano yun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005470

So, kung titignan po natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005471

yung pula.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005472

In other words,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005473

ito ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005474

pagpapakita

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005475

kung saan napunta

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005476

o saan ginamit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005477

yung deficit spending.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005478

At pakikita po natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005479

pakihighlight na lang po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005480

ang breakdown

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005481

nyan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005482

ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005483

yung mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005484

tinatawag nating

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005485

pork-type

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005486

programs.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005487

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005488

So, ano-ano

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005489

ang mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005490

bumubuo nyan?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005491

Kasama dyan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005492

ayan na po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005493

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005494

So, yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005495

paglaki

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005496

ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005502

Kasama dyan

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005503

ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005504

AICS,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005507

and

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005508

Kasama dun yung

AKAP.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005512

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005513

So, ang punto po natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005514

ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005515

yung utang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

ay ginamit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005517

para sa pork.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005518

Yun po ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005519

pinapakita nun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005520

nasaan napunta?

asr-005545

Napunta sa,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005546

alam natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005547

flood control,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005548

napunta sa

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005549

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005550

Yung

Totoo.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005556

Pero sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005557

pamamagitan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005558

ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005559

pamumulitika

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005560

or patronage,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005561

diba,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005562

dumadaan sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005563

politiko.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005564

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005565

tama kayo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005566

yung utang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005567

lumaki

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005568

dahil

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005569

mas maraming

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005570

pinagastusan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005571

ang punto natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005572

sa napunta.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005573

Ano ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005574

pinagastusan?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005575

Well,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005576

ang pinapakita po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005577

natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005578

pinagastusan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005579

ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005580

flood control

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005581

na napunta

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005582

sa corruption.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005583

Pangalawa,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005584

paglaki,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005585

pambihirang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005586

paglaki

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005587

ng ayuda.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005588

Kaya po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005589

ang nangyari,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005590

as a result,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005591

ang nangyari,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005592

ay matinding corruption.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005593

Hanggang ngayon, pinapanagot pa rin natin yung mga dapat managot.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005594

Pangalawang nangyari, dahil sa paglaganap ng ayuda,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005595

naging ayuda nation tayo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005596

Epekto niyan sa eleksyon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005597

Ito po, alam ko, ang ating sponsor ay chair din ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005598

Committee on Suffrage and Electoral Reforms.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005599

Ano nangyari sa eleksyon, sa mga nakaraang eleksyon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005600

sa ganitong kalakaran?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005601

E talagang bumabaha ang ayuda.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005602

Related to patronage, related to vote buying,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005603

and related to the greater influence and dominance of political dynasties

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005604

in our society.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005605

So, yan po ang maaring conclusion natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005606

Na ang utang natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005607

ay para sa pork.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005608

Ito ba ang maipagmamalaki ng administrasyon

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005609

sa mas malalim na pagkakabaon natin sa utang?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005610

Yun po ang tanong sa DOF, sa sponsor, sa DOF, at sa mga economic managers.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005611

Well, unang-una, naintindihan po natin ang projection

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005612

ng ating kagalang-galang na interpolator.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005613

Pero hindi lang huyon naman ang pinupondohan.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005614

As far as Department of...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005615

of Finance is concerned,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005616

ang pinaka-primary consideration,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005617

again, paulit-ulit ko po sinasabi,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005618

ay paano po kumuha ng sapat na gastos

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005619

para mababigyan po ng ating gobyerno

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005620

na mag-spend ng mga necessary expenses ng government.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005621

Una, kung titignan po natin ng projection na yun,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005622

yung illustration po na yun,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005623

sabi ko nga,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005624

yung mga na-identify ay ongoing naman din ang investigation noon.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005625

Pero ang importante po, Mr. Speaker, ay una,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005626

kung titignan po natin yung actual

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005627

ng national government deficit,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005628

nung umupo po ang...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005629

tungkasalukuyang administrasyon,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005630

President Bongbong Marcos,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005631

meron ko pong 7.3 na deficit

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005632

to GDP

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005633

ang naitala.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005634

Pero habang...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005635

from 2002, naging 6.2.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005636

Ah...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005637

2023, naging 5.7.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005638

Ah...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005639

And then 2024, 5.6.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005640

2025, 5.4.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005641

At pa 20...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005642

2026, 5.1.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005643

So, pababa po yung trend.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005644

Yun na po importante ngayon.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005645

Bakit?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005646

Bakit nangungutang?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005647

Habang dumaraki po talaga yung gastusin,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005648

dumaraki yung ekonomiya,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005649

halimbawa, eh kailangan mo talagang umutang,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005650

halimbawa, kasi mas lalo na lumaki yung gastusin mo.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005651

Pero what is important po is,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005652

base po dito sa data natin,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005653

bumababa po yung deficit to GDP.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005654

Ah...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005655

Yun po importante.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005656

Ngayon, sabi ko nga po, since 2022,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005657

hanggang kasalukuyan,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005658

ay mataas na po yung...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005659

I mean, sorry,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005660

malaki na po yung ibinaba nung deficit to GDP,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005661

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005662

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005663

Ah, Mr. Speaker, to summarize

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005664

yung mga pinresent natin kanina,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005665

ito na po yung ah...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005666

table na nagkocombine nung mga datos na yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005667

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005668

Yung utang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005669

yung deficit,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005670

at saka kung saan napunta to.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005671

Okay. So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005672

ah, kung itaas lang po natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005673

para makita yung ah...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005674

headline figures,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005675

so,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005676

eight point...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005677

sa ilalim ng Marcos Jr. Administration,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005678

so, from 2023,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005679

24,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005680

25,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005681

26,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005682

and yung projected for 2027,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005683

ang ah...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005684

mangyayari, ah, bagong utang na 8.06 trillion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005685

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005686

Kung pagsasamahin natin yung nadagdag

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005687

sa outstanding debt,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005688

ganun po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005689

8.06 trillion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005690

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005691

Ah, and ah...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005692

kung pagsasamahin natin yung gov...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005693

yung ah...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005694

combined national government deficits

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005695

for the budgets for that period,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005696

7.95 trillion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005697

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005698

So, for the most part,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005699

yung bagong utang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005700

is there to cover the deficit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005701

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005702

Ah, of course,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005703

meron pang iba yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005704

Binabayaran mo yung mga iba pang utang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005705

so on and so forth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005706

Okay?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005707

Ah, and then,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005708

of that,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005709

of that deficit,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005710

4.98 trillion

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005711

yung ating computation

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005712

dun sa iba't ibang tipo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005713

ng hard and soft

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005714

pork barrel spending.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005715

So, infrastructure,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005716

tsaka

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005717

patronage-based

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005718

ayuda,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005719

or access to social services.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005720

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005721

So, 4.98 trillion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005722

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005723

Ah, kaya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005724

at kung titignan natin yung table,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005725

ayan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005726

okay,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005727

makita natin talaga,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005728

totoo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005729

na sa unang hati ng taon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005730

talagang nakita natin yung excesses

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005731

ng pork barrel spree

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005732

ng Marcos Junior Administration.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005733

Talagang pinalobo ng gusto

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005734

yung flood control

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005735

at iba pang forma ng infrastructure,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005736

yan yung pula,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005737

tapos pinalaki ng gusto

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005738

yung para sa ayuda.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005739

2023,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005740

2024,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005741

2025.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005742

Kita nyo rin naman,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005743

2026,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005744

2027,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005745

significant na pagbaba.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005746

Bakit bumaba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005747

Yung pork spending.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005748

Dahil po, pumutok na yung kontrobersya

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005749

ng flood control.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005750

No, kaya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005751

supposedly,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005752

ah, may pagrerenda,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005753

may pagbawas,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005754

kaya dito sa ating pinili

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005755

ay lumiit ang mga indicators.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005756

Pero sa totoo lang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005757

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005758

hindi ganun kalaki,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005759

kasignifikant ang pag-iit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005760

Anyway, so,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005761

yun po yung point natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005762

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005763

And so,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005764

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005765

the main point

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005766

that we're making here

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005767

is that,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005768

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005769

the unprecedented,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005770

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005771

hyperscaling

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005772

of pork spending

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005773

that happened

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005774

under the Marcos Jr. administration

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005775

was fueled by

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005776

debt.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005777

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005778

Kaya lalong nabaon sa utang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005779

ah, ang ating mamamayan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005780

At anong nakuha?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005781

Ang nakuha natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005782

ay,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005783

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005784

largely ineffective flood control.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005785

Mga ghost project,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005786

mga under,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005787

ah, mga,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005788

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005789

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005790

overpriced

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005791

at ineffective

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005792

na flood control project.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005793

Kaya nga,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005794

sa halip na,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005795

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005796

mabawasan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005797

ay lalong lumalala

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005798

ang baha.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005799

Yun ang isa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005800

Corruption.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005801

Pangalawa,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005802

massive expansion

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005803

of pork.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005804

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005805

So, yung, ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005806

expansion ng patronage system,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005807

sa halip na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005808

maging karapatan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005809

ang social services,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005810

ito ay magiging utang na loob

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005811

sa politiko.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005812

Ganun po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005813

Kaya palagi po nakikita natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005814

nag-aagawan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005815

pag pinag-uusapan natin ang budget ng DOH

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005816

or ng CHED,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005817

saan ba ilalagay ito?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005818

Sa budget mismo ng ospital

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005819

o ng unibersidad?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005820

O sa budget para sa scholarship?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005821

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005822

Kasi yung scholarship,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005823

yun ay,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005824

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005825

patronage based.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005826

No? Samantala,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005827

kung ilalagay mo sa institusyon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005828

yun ang maaaring gamitin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005829

para sa expansion ng pasilidad,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005830

para sa pagpaunlad ng kalidad

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005831

ng edukasyon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005832

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005833

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005834

edukasyon o kalusugan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005835

So, yan po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005836

ang, ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005837

resulta.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005838

And to conclude,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005839

kasabihin ng,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005840

sinasabi ng administrasyon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005841

na,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005842

well, dahil dito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005843

naabot natin ang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005844

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005845

ang, ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005846

ano yun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005847

Ang upper middle income

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005848

ah, status.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005849

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005850

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005851

Ah, ngunit,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005852

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005853

there are different kinds of growth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005854

Di po ba,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005855

ah, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005856

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005857

In the same way,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005858

na,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005859

sa nutrisyon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005860

merong, ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005861

iba't ibang tipo ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005862

calories.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005863

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005864

And there is such a thing as junk food

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005865

and junk calories.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005866

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005867

What are junk calories?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005868

Yan po ay ang mga calories na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005869

walang laman,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005870

walang nutrisyon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005871

Ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005872

sabi po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005873

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005874

junk calories,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005875

known as empty calories.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005876

Energy from foods that provide high amounts of calories.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005877

Yes?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005878

Mostly from added sugar,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005879

solid fats,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005880

and refined carbohydrates.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005881

While offering little to no essential nutrients

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005882

like protein,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005883

fiber,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005884

vitamins,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005885

or minerals.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005886

No? Ang gusto ko lang po sabihin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005887

na,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005888

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005889

this is an analogy.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005890

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005891

Well, totoo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005892

merong economic growth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005893

No? Pero, ah, ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005894

there are different kinds of growth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005895

No? Merong growth na talagang lumilikha

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005896

ng mas maraming trabaho.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005897

Ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005898

nagpapaangat.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005899

Ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005900

pang matagalang nagpapaangat

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005901

sa mamamayan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005902

sa kahirapan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005903

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005904

Dahil nakabatay sa,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005905

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005906

paglikha ng trabaho.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005907

Sa agrikultura,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005908

sa industriya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005909

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005910

At siguro masasabi natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005911

ganyan ang nakikita natin sa ating mga kapitbahay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005912

Kaya naiiwan na tayo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005913

Notably, for example,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005914

Vietnam,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005915

which is driven by

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005916

manufacturing.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005917

No? Ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005919

growth in their manufacturing,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005920

Ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005921

matagal nang naiwanan tayo sa agrikultura.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005922

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005923

Kaya nga nag-i-import tayo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005924

ng bigas sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005925

So, yun yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005926

isang tipo ng growth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005927

Meron namang isang tipo ng growth,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005928

na,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005929

tawagin natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005930

kung may junk calories,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005931

meron ding junk growth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005932

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005942

Totoo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005943

the headline figures

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005944

will increase,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005945

sabi na bawasan daw ang mahirap,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005946

no,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005947

pero sa totoo lang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005948

kung tatanungin mo ang ordinaryong mamamayan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005949

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005950

di nila na-ra-ramdaman

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005951

ang pagiging middle income status,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005952

no,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005953

bakit hindi?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005954

Dahil,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005955

napataas

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005956

ang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005957

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005958

o napababa daw ang poverty rate,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005959

dahil sa ayuda.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005960

Dahil sa tupad,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005961

napaba,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005962

napaba-

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005963

pababa ang unemployment rate.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005964

Pero hindi naman lumikha ng pangmatagalang trabaho,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005965

hindi lumikha ng livelihood o kabuhayan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005966

kung hindi ayuda.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005967

So, to conclude, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005968

unfortunately, the current model

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005969

pursued by the Marcos Jr. administration,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005970

led by the economic managers,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005971

including the Department of Finance,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005972

has been a debt-driven junk growth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005973

Hindi lumilika ng pangmatagalang trabaho at kabuhayan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005974

lalo na sa agrikultura at industriya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005975

Nakadepende sa pagwaldas ng malaking public funds

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005976

sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005977

public infrastructure,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005978

katulad ng flood control na hindi tunay na pakikinabangan ng mamamayan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005979

at pinagbumulan ng malaking corruption

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005980

at

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005981

ayuda,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005982

paglaki ng ayuda

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005983

na pansamantalang magbibigay ng tulong,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005984

ngunit hindi ng pangmatagalang trabaho at kabuhayan sa mamamayan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005985

So, hanggang doon na lamang po, Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005986

Yan ang kailangang baguhin sa kasalukuyang budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005987

At hindi lang budget ang kailangang baguhin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005988

kailangang baguhin yung buong economic model.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005989

Hindi na po pwede

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005990

ang debt-driven,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005991

pork-fueled,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005992

debt-driven,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005993

debt-fueled,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005994

pork-driven

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005995

economic growth

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005996

na nakikita natin ngayon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005997

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005998

Maraming salamat,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-005999

Mrs. Madam Speaker,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-006000

Majority Leader.

Source

Rep. Patricia C. Calderon

asr-006001

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Patricia C. Calderon

asr-006002

next to interpolate the sponsor,

Source

Rep. Patricia C. Calderon

asr-006003

I move to recognize Representative Presley C. De Jesus

Source

Rep. Patricia C. Calderon

asr-006004

of Philreca Partylist.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-006005

The Honorable Presley De Jesus of Partylist Philreca

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-006006

is recognized for his interpolation.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006007

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006008

Of course, the

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006009

distinguished sponsor,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006010

medyo limang oras na siya,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006011

so I'll make it short.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006012

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006013

Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006014

again,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006015

being representative of all the cooperatives,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006016

ito po,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006017

ito yung sa mga kooperatiba po,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006018

I have only a few questions.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006019

Ang una pong tanong,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006020

ano ho ang primary reason

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006021

bakit hirap na hirap makakuha

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006022

o mag-renew,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006023

mag-renew ng CTE

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006024

ang mga cooperatives natin?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006025

Ito po yung Certificate of Tax Exemption.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006037

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, sa una po, nire-require po talaga natin yung tax, yung TIN number po nila.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006038

Pero sa ngayon ay may mga adjustments po ang ginagawa ngayon ng BIR.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006039

Nakakapag-renew naman po sila as part of the ease of doing business.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006040

Kaya hindi na po natin nire-require yung kanilang...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006041

Hindi na po ngayon in-strictly enforce yung requirement po ng pag-submit niya kanila ng TIN.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006042

Alam niyo po, Madam Speaker, distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006043

Karamihan po sa mga small kooperativa, yung mga magsasaka, alalayo ng lugar niyan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006044

So, alam niyo, karamihan sa kanila, no read, no write.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006045

So, pag pumunta sa bayan niyan, baka pagtawanan sila, hindi nga nilanam kung ano ibig sabihin ng TIN.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006046

So, yung sa amin po, konting unawa sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006047

But again, I know, sa BIR, kailangan talaga may TIN ka.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006048

Kasi nga, identifier yan, para ka lang kumuha din ng national ID.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006049

So, you need that.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006050

But again, pag isa bang cooperative ang maliit, natin ka malalayong lugar,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006051

eh ang kanyang kooperativa, kung nyari, kooperativa ABC,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006052

di ba yun lang ang dapat i-registro, hindi yung mga member niya.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006053

Pati ba member, kailangan i-registro?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006054

Sa ngayon, kaya nga po sabihin ng BIR ngayon, hindi naman siya strictly in-enforce na ngayon.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006055

Kasi nga, nakiki, minsan nakikipag-deal na lang po sila doon sa kooperativa kung saan miyembro itong mga individuals na po ito.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006056

So, again, ang BIR.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006058

Ngunit, kailangan din po balansin ang BIR doon sa pangangailangan ng batas kung saan.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006059

Iri-require po ng batas ang ating BIR na mag-request po ng TIN as part of the compliance, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006060

Kaya nga po sila, ina-adjust nga po nila, not strictly enforced, kasi naintindihan din po nila yung kalagayan ng ating mga kababayan.

asr-006061

And directly dealing with the cooperatives.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rather than the previous implementation that individual members should have to produce the TIN number, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Para naman makita at marinig nila na talagang gumagawa po ang kanilang kooperativa at the same time,

Sana mapagbigyan din natin.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006085

mga bus operator, ating mga manggawa.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006086

Kasi ngayon, ang conserge Dagok mentioned na windfall ba.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006087

Ito bang, inanon natin yung ating forecast natin for next year's budget.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006088

Di ba?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006089

Nakapag-forecast kayo.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006090

Yung per liter nyo na excise tax.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006091

At what amount did you peg it?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006092

60 pesos ba per liter ba?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006093

When you do, yung ginawa nyo yung ano nyo, o 70 pesos.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006094

Okay.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006095

Yung excess po kasi, determination of the excess is the volume of the commodity, no?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006096

Petroleum.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006097

So, in that, the fuel rather than the price.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006098

By volume.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006099

Yes, by volume rather than the price po, Mrs. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006100

Do you think?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006101

Because right now, before it was 60 or 70 now, became 1.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006102

100 pesos per liter.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006103

So, may windfall ba yan, o wala?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006104

Tingin nyo.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006105

Yun yung, that would be the amount arrived at kung impose po natin additional VAT, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006106

So, what can we tell them, at least marilib sila?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006107

Because in excess of 70 pesos, as you know, pwede ba natin silang tanggal yung excise tax?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006108

So, the government has to do it.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006109

O kayo ba, kayo on your end, the DOF, o hindi nila kaya?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006110

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006111

Oo.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006112

Yun nga po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006113

So, I think kung di ako nagkakamali, di ba,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006114

na wala na yung ex...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006116

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006117

In fact, Mrs. Speaker, yung mga sinasabi po natin, this has been brought out earlier, yung mga VAT collection po natin on petroleum products, ito po yung pinaggagastusan natin doon sa identified na mga subsidies and assistance.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006118

Ito ang uplift program po ng gobyerno.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006119

Kasi nga po, nasa kalagayan po.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006120

At tayo kung saan, hindi pa rin po stable yung nangyayari sa gitnang silangan na naka-apekto po sa pag-produce ng ating supply ng petrolyo.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006121

So, yun po yung in-explain po natin kanina.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006122

Kailangan meron din tayong pagkukunan kung paano po natin mag-responde sa mga pangangailangan ng ating mga kababayan habang tumataas po ang lahat ng presyo ng commodities, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Madam Speaker, of course, Distinguished Sponsor.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006125

Madam Speaker, sorry.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006126

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, ito naman, pagdala ito ng mga cockpit owners because I think last month, ni-raid daw sila, kinuha daw yung mga machine nila, pinag-penalize sila, e wala pa naman daw guidelines ang BIR when it comes to that.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006127

So, ano ba ang pakakaiba ng POS sa special purpose machine na ginagamit nila?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006128

...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006128-split-2

Unang-una po, Mr. Speaker, itong mga betting machines required na po talaga sila na maiano nila, i-register po nila.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006129

So, ito po yung ni-raid po at kinolecta, ito po yung mga unregistered na mga betting machines at kung sila po ay makakapagrehistro, ibabalik naman po sa kanila ito ng ating Bureau of Internal Revenue, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006130

It is a small cockpit operation kung saan meron pong mga betting equipment, machines na hindi po nila nare-register.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006131

Ina-impose lang po naman yung law enforcement side of the BIR.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006132

Madam Speaker, my question is,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006133

Do you consider the betting machine same thing as point of sale or POS o magkaiba sila?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006134

Asensya na po, pwede pong pakaiulit yung...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006135

Yung POS, because when you use POS, yung point of sale, yun ang ginagamit when you buy goods and services, di ba, sa mga malls.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006136

Ngayon, yung machine betting ng mga cockpit owners naman, is that considered special purpose machine?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006137

Pagbabalik po ako sa data, Mr. Speaker, Madam Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006138

Under the law po, Madam Speaker, Your Honor, either POS or PMS, talagang subject po siya for registration.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006139

So, wala pong choice exception, choice ang BIR ba to impose the law at wala pong exception na nakasulat po doon sa batas, Madam Speaker, Your Honor.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006141

Distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006142

Hindi naman sila, sila gusto naman daw nila magbayad ng tax, so no question about that.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006143

Kasi gusto lang din nila malaman, ngayon nanonood sila lahat.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006144

Gusto lang nila malaman, anong rate at saan yung kukunin?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006145

Sa total bet ba?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006146

Sa net income nila, kasi nalilito sila.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006149

Well, pinagwap sa ngayon po, kasi meron pong, meron po talaga sa batas na 18% of the amusement tax, no?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006150

Pero ang sinasabi po nitong mga,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006151

ating mga kababayan ay magkaroon

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006157

compliance with the law, sabi nga po ng BIR.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006158

Pero ito po pinag-aaralan, kaya nga po

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006159

nag-create ng TWG

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006178

Tradition na ito eh, no?

Panoon pa ng Kastila. Ngayon ang point nila,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006180

willing naman daw sila mag-settle.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006181

Pero,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006182

the 18%, I think that's

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006183

old code, tax code pa yan eh. Matagal na yan eh.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006184

Kumbaga, hindi na nyo

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006185

binago yan eh. So if you apply that,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006186

ang mga feed mills,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006187

ang mga lot, pati

asr-006198

Alam ni Secretary ng DF yan.

Pangalawa, ang mga breeders,

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006202

Kaya sana baguhin nyo

ang, yung tax code na 18%,

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006204

matagal na yan, luma na yan.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

So kailangan nyo improve. Ngayon,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006206

saan niyo ba kukunin yung

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006207

tax na kukunin? Sa gross ba?

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006208

O sa net income?

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006209

Gusto lang malaman nila.

asr-006212

Madam Speaker, Your Honor,

BIR sa mga cockpit operators.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006215

Ongoing discussion na nga po itong nangyayari.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006216

So merong kasalukuyan, so...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006217

Yes po. In fact, in fact, nag-meet na po sila

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006218

with the cockpit operators.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006219

And there's also, as a result of that meeting,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006220

eh, nag-create po ng technical working group

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006221

para po masolusyon itong problema.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006222

Anyway, nagpasa rin ako resolution dito,

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006223

calling BIR. And one more question before I move, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006224

Kasi alam ko, matagal na kayo, kaya ayoko narikipano.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006225

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006226

Sulatan nyo sila.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006227

Huwag nyo na silang i-raid.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006228

Nire-raid nyo. Mga legal naman yan, eh.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006229

Nagre-raid kayo.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006230

Nagtataka ko ba't i-raid? Pwede naman silang puntahan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006231

Huwag nyo silang tatakutin.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006232

Bumibisita po ang BIR sa mga cockpit, ano.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006233

So wala pong raid. O, makakaasa po sila

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-006234

na makikipag-ugnayan po. Yes po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006235

They are welcome, but huwag nyo i-re-raid.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006236

Ipapasara ka agad. Eh, tingnan nyo muna.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006237

Kasi wala kayong guidelines, eh.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006238

Unang-una, walang guidelines ang BIR.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006239

Pagdating diyan. No?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006240

So sana naman, maayos natin ito.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006241

Kasi willing silang magbayad.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006242

Willing naman. Lahat naman ito mapag-anoan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006243

Anyway, the next time na you already have a technical working group,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006244

ay sana maayos natin lahat ito.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006245

Lahat naman dapat kumita.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006246

Kaganyan sinasabi ko, BIR...

Bread and butter. But again,

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006530

In 2026, meron pong apat na probinsya.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006531

Ang hindi nakatanggap.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006532

Meron pong labing-anim na lungsod, ang hindi nakatanggap.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006533

At meron pong na higit 300 mga munisipyo ang hindi nakatanggap mula sa LGSF-PALGO.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006534

Ito na po ang tanong ko.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006535

Ang aking mga tanong ay hindi tungkol sa kung kailangan ng mga LGU ng tulong. Kailangan nila ito.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006536

Ang tunay na tanong ay sino ang may kapangyarihang magpasya kung aling LGU, anong proyekto, magkano ang matatanggap, at kailan ito ibibigay?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006537

Kongreso ba? O ang Executive Department?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006538

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006539

So yung release po ng local...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006540

Local Government Support Fund, in general, is governed by the special provision as approved by Congress in the GAA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006541

After that, the DBM is the one authorized to take care of the processing from the point of receiving the requests from the local government units up to the point of evaluating and releasing.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006542

Mahalaga po dito siguro na ipunto na nakadepende din po yung release.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006543

Ito ang mga authorization na DBM, base po sa mga requests ng mga local government units.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006544

So halimbawa po, sinicheck po namin yung ilan po sa mga nabanggit ng mga probinsya na ating distinguished colleague, whether they had requests.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006545

Yes, ma'am. Okay na po. Maliwalag po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006546

So, ang Executive Department po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006547

That is correct po, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006548

Kung wala, masasabi ba ng Kongreso na sa araw ng pagboto natin sa budget,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006549

kung sino talaga yung makakatanggap

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006550

ng mga LGUs?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006551

On the day that we approve our GAA,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006552

masasabi ba natin kung sino yung mga LGUs

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006553

na makakatanggap?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006554

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006555

at the point of approving the GAA

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006556

and the H-GAB on our part,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006557

hindi pa po natin ma-identify.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006558

Qualified po ang lahat ng local government units

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006559

na mag-apply po, mag-submitin ang kanilang mga requests.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006560

Pero kung sino po yung talagang gagawaran

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006561

nung mga grant sa ilalim po ng LGSF

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006562

sa punto po na ating pag-aproba ng H-GAB,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006563

hindi pa po matutuko yun.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006564

Ibig pong sabi, may karapatan sila mag-apply.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006565

Yes po, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006566

Pero wala silang karapatan na sigurado makatanggap.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006567

Depende po sa evaluation po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006568

ng

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006569

DBM. Opo.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006570

Masasabi ba natin kung magkano

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006571

ang para sa tubig, para sa ospital,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006572

para sa kalsada, stadium, ayuda, scholarship,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006573

o lahat ng mga items

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006574

na nakalagay po sa guidelines.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006575

Madi-determine ba natin

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006576

sa pag-aaproba ng budget

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006577

kung mga magkano at sino yung mga makakatanggap?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006578

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006579

at the point of approving the budget,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006580

hindi pa po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006581

Kasi nakadepende po sa klase ng proyekto

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006582

na i-dequest po ng iba't-ibang mga

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006583

local government units.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006584

Pangalawa po, ang project menu ba

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006585

ay may tunay na limitasyon.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006586

Pagdating po, kung ang limitasyon po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006587

na tinutukay po ng ating

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006588

Distinguished Colleague, Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006589

ay yung klase ng mga proyekto

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006590

na qualified po sa ilalim na

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006591

LGSF, meron po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006592

Sapagkat kung titignan po natin

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006593

ang General Appropriations Act,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006594

dun sa ilalim po ng special provision,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006595

sa ilalim ng Local Government Support Fund,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006596

nakadetalye po yun, isa-isa,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006597

yung menu ng kung ano-anong klaseng

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006598

ng mga proyekto yung pwede pong i-request

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006599

ng mga local government units.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006600

Kaya nga po, ibig sabihin,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006601

pwede yung agricultural programs,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006602

nakalagay po yun.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006603

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006604

Pwede po yung farm-to-market roads.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006605

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006606

Pwede yung fish ports at water systems.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006607

Pwede yung cultural heritage.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006608

Pwede yung ICT, CCTV,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006609

local roads, bridges, public markets,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006610

purpose halls at buildings,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006611

sports stadium, hospital,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006612

evacuation center, public cemeteries,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006619

housing repair materials.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006620

Parang ito na po yung buong trabaho

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006621

ng national government.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006622

Parang lahat ng departamento

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006623

ay nasasakot na.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006624

Nang palgo.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006625

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006626

Siguro confidential funds

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006627

at intelligence funds na lang wala dito.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006628

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006629

distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006630

ang dahilan po kung bakit magandito

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006631

sapagkat bagamat meron po tayong mga

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006632

nakapondo sa ilalim po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006633

ng mga national government agencies

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006634

para po sa mga nabanggit

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006635

ng mga klase ng mga proyekto,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006636

may mga pagkakataon po kasi

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006637

na kinukulang pa rin po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006638

yung mga umaabot sa mga local government.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006639

Doon po pumapasok yung FALGU,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006640

yung Financial Assistance

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006641

sa Local Government Units,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006642

yung Growth Equity Fund,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006643

yung Support to Barangay Development,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006644

at yung iba't-ibang klase pa po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006645

ng Local Government Support Fund

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006646

para po ma-augment

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006647

yung kung ano man po yung hindi pa

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006648

kayang i-cover

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006649

noong mga national government agencies.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006650

Kung ganyan po ang ating katwiran,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006651

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006652

bakit yung mayayamang LGU

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006653

yung nakikinabang?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006654

Di ba support to LGU?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006655

Bakit nasusuportahan?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006656

Yung mayayaman na halos hindi na kailangan ng tulong

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006657

at hindi nasusuportahan yung mga pinakamahirap,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006658

yan po ang data.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006659

Hindi naman mapapasilungalingan ang data.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006660

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006661

opo, sumasang-ayon po ako sa punto

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006662

ng ating Distinguished Colleague

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006663

na in theory po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006664

dapat yung mga malalaking mga syudad,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006665

dapat yung mga highly-urbanized cities

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006666

ay may sapat na pondo

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006667

para po i-sustain yung mga pangangailangan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006668

ng kanilang sariling lokalidad.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006669

However po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006670

may mga pagkakataon din po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006671

na kinukulang pa rin po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006672

Halimbawa po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006673

kung maaari ko pong banggitin,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006674

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006675

hindi po may pagkakataon.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006676

Sa lahat ng pagkakataon,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006677

priority yung mga mayayamang LGUs.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006678

Yan po yung data eh.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006679

Yung pinakamayayaman,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006680

yun ang pinakamalalaki.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006681

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006682

yung ipinakita pong datos kanina

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006683

ay patungkol po sa FALGO,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006684

yung Financial Assistance

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006685

to Local Government Units.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006686

Kalahati po noong pondo

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006687

na nai-release sa ilalim ng FALGO

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006688

ay related po doon sa tinatawag natin

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006689

na rice distribution.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006690

Yan po yung 2026.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006691

Pero sa 2025 po,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006692

ganun din po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006693

Yung pinakamayayaman,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006694

yun, yung nabigyan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006695

Apo, we will check po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006696

but we recognize the point po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006697

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006698

Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006699

ang nangyari lang po kasi

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006700

noong 2026,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006701

malinaw po yun,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006702

population-based po kasi yung release

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006703

noong rice,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006704

kaya po mas malaki.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006705

Darating po ako dyan, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006706

Halimbawa po,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006707

bibibigay ako ng isang example.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006708

Maari bang sabay na maging eligible

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006709

ang isang evacuation center

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006710

sa isang PIP class

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006711

munisipal?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006712

O isang stadium

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006713

sa highly urbanized city?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006714

Ngayon, kung magkakasabay

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006715

yung kanilang request,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006716

pero yung pondo,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006717

sinong priority dito?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006718

Yung evacuation center

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006719

ng isang PIP class municipality

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006720

o yung stadium

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006721

ng isang first class city?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006722

Ang punto ko po,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006723

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006724

hindi ba ang special provision

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006725

ay nagsasabi lamang

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006726

kung ano ang maaring pondohan,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006727

ngunit hindi nito sinasabi

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006728

kung ano ang dapat unahin?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006729

Meron po bang provision

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006730

na nakalagay doon

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006731

kung sino ang dapat unahin?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006732

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006733

Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006734

halimbawa po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006735

doon po sa halimbawa

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006736

na binanggit po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006737

ng ating Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006738

kung meron pong isang

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006739

highly urbanized city

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006740

at isa pong halimbawa

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006741

fourth or fifth class municipality

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006742

na sabay na nag-apply,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006743

maaari po na pareho po silang mabigyan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006744

sa ilalim po ng magkaibang programa.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006745

Meron po tayong tinatawag na

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006746

growth equity fund

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006747

sa ilalim po ng LGSF

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006748

na talaga pong nakatuon

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006749

para po matugunan yung mga pangangailangan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006750

ng fourth and fifth class municipalities.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006751

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Tinatakba ba ito?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006754

Pagkatapos na,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006755

mapasa ang budget?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006756

Opo,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006757

sapagkat ang nakalagay po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

So, totoo po yun.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Yung criteria po

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006767

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

pagkatapos na po natin

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Hindi po dapat

Ang

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006775

DBM na po ba ngayon

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006783

yung sa special provision po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

kasi meron po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006785

doong mga nakalagay na

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006786

ng mga criteria.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006787

Halimbawa nga po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006788

for the growth equity fund po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006789

for example,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006790

that cannot be used

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006791

for...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006792

for municipalities

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006793

or cities

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006794

or provinces

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006795

that are outside...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006796

that are above

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006797

4th and 5th class municipalities.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006798

So, may mga ganun po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006799

na limitasyon

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006800

na nakalagay sa GAA.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Pero, dumalabas po,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006802

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006803

doon sa pinakita ko,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Ito po kasing

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006806

ipinakita po natin

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

na ating pong

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006808

distinguished colleague

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006809

ay falgo po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006810

And in the case of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006811

2026 po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006812

talagang lahat

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006813

nagkaroon

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006814

base po sa populasyon.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006815

Whether it's falgo

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006816

or non-falgo,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006817

it's still a lump sum

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006818

some appropriations.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006819

And dapat po,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

susunod tayo

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006821

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006822

dapat itong

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006823

paggasta nito

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006824

talagang maliwanag

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006825

ang prescription

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006826

ng Kongreso.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Tama po yun.

Sa Kongreso ng DBM,

Maaari bang baguhin

yung pagkaka-word po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006903

kung paano po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006904

nakasulat yung special provision,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006905

But upon

if so required,

yung guidelines,

kailangan po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006929

ng approval

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006930

ng Kongreso,

Source

Na-aprubahan

yung guidelines?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Hindi po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006943

Hindi po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006944

Sapagkat

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

I think it's against

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-006951

the Constitution

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007004

ang isang appropriation,

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007031

Lawak po nung ibinigay ng Kongreso na latitude in terms of kung saan, kung paano, kung pa, magkano ang ibibigay sa bawat local government.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007032

Madam Speaker, my distinguished colleague, we recognize the point of the Honorable Irise.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007033

If we would like to put additional safeguards as we craft the 2027 General Appropriations Act,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007034

sangayon po ako doon kung gusto natin po na pati po yung evaluation criteria, pati po yung guidelines ay aprobahan ng Kongreso.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007035

Bukas po yung DBM dyan at ako din po bilang chairperson ng Committee on Appropriations,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007036

I would be very happy to work with the Honorable Irise to craft that.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007037

The wording for that special provision.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007038

Salamat po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007039

Maari bang piliin ang executive ang politically favored LGUs?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007040

Kung maraming LGU ang eligible, ngunit limitado ang pondo, maari bang piliin ang DBM ang isang highly urbanized city kaysa isang mahirap na municipality?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007041

Halimbawa, kung maaring pondahan ng 500 million stadium sa isang lungsod na mahigit sa isang bilyong sariling kita,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007042

habang walang pondo ang evacuation center o water system ng isang mahirap na bayan,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007043

anong provision sa batas ang automatic ang nagbabawal nito?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007044

Meron ba?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007045

May poverty first rule ba?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007046

May poorest LGU first rule ba?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007047

May rule ba na basic services muna bago stadium o multi-port post building?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007048

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007049

sa kasalukuyan po, there is no law or there is no provision that,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007050

particularly bars, such.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007051

So lahat po ng mga local government units ay qualified po na mag-request at mag-apply para po sa LGSF grants.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007052

Publicly verifiable ba ang scoring?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007053

Pangalan ng lahat ng aplikanting LGU?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007054

Pwede po ba akong mabigyan ng kopya lahat nung nag-apply at lahat nung na-approve at hindi na-approve?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007055

Pwede po ba magbigay sa aking tanggapan ang...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007056

DBM?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007057

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, the DBM po agrees to it.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007058

But if we may ask for specifics po, is there a particular timeline we're looking at po for which years po?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007059

25 and 26.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007060

Hindi naman po madalian.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007061

One or two weeks, okay naman po yan.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007062

Opo.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007063

Sana po may isama yung kanilang ginawang scoring procedure at ranking procedure.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007064

Aprobadong halaga at yung dahilan ng rejection.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007065

Ito po, maliwanag po, Madam Speaker, gusto ko po linawag.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007066

Lahat ng mga proyekto na ipatupad ng 2025 at 2026 ay na-identify after...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007067

Budget Approval.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007068

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, the DBM will generate what they have.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007069

As of now po, they commit that they will be able to give a list of those who requested, those who were approved, against those who were disapproved.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007070

But as to the reason for the disapproval of every single item po, sisilipin po ng DBM kung meron po sila sa anong level ng datos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007071

Ano lang po?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007072

Yung veto power po, bago pirmahan ng Pangulo ang GAA, may kapangyarihan siyang ibito.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007073

Ano mang particular na item sa Appropriations Bill?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007074

Ngunit kung wala sa bill ang pangalan ng recipient, LGU, o particular na proyekto, halaga, maaari niya bang ibito ito?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007075

Hindi.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007076

Di po ba?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007077

Maaari bang ibito ang isang 500 million na stadium, ngunit panatilihin ang water system kung wala pa naman ang dalawang proyektong ito sa bill?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007078

Hindi.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007079

Hindi po. Yan po yung nakikita ko pong problema dito sa Lamsam LGSF na ito.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007080

Ang congressional oversight ba ay sapat nakapalit?

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-007081

The chair would like to respectfully inform the Honorable Erice that his time has elapsed.

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-007082

You may now finish your interpellation.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007083

Yes, I'm to last two questions.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007084

Maaari bang...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007085

Sabihin na sapat na yung congressional oversight para maging kapalit nung Lamsam Appropriations at Discretionary Authority ng DBM dito?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007086

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, we're just quickly looking at the reportorial requirements for...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007087

For LGSF, if I may po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007088

Yung National Tax Allotment po, meron po itong ano eh, meron siyang definite na mga kriteria.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007089

Population, poverty incidence, income class, fiscal gap, and disaster vulnerability.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007090

Madam Speaker...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007091

Dito po ba merong ganito?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007092

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, upon checking po, wala pong reportorial requirements as of now.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007093

Sa mga nakaraang GAA po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007094

Wala pong reportorial requirements na talagang nakatoon para po sa LGSF.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007095

Pero meron pong overall report po na sinusumite yung DBM on a quarterly basis with regard to total disbursements, obligations, and the like.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007096

But again po, upon conferring with the DBM, kung atin pong i-require, maglalagay po tayo sa 2027 na GAA ng reportorial requirements patungkol po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007097

But again po, sa LGSF, bukas din po ang DBM doon.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007098

Salamat po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007099

Naniniwala po ako na ang Congress na may power of the...

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-007100

The Chair would like to remind the Honorable [unclear] that his time has [unclear].

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007101

Yes, this is my last manifestation.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007102

Naniniwala po ako ang Congress na may power of the first.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007103

Kasama sa kapangyarihan ito, ang pagpapasya kung anong programa ang pupondohan at kung magkano.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007104

Ang executive ay dapat magpatupad, hindi gumawa ng bagong appropriation.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007105

Ang 2027 palgo, hindi tinutukoy...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007106

Ang 2027 palgo, hindi tinutukoy ng kongreso ang bawat recipient na LGU.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007107

Hindi tinutukoy ng kongreso ang bawat proyekto at lokasyon.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007108

Hindi tinutukoy ng kongreso ang halagang matatanggap ng bawat LGU.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007109

Hindi nagtakda ang kongreso ng mathematical allocation formula.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007110

Ang DBM pa ang bubuo ng kriteriya pagkatapos o up sa post-enactment.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007111

Ang DBM ang nag-a-approve ba o tatanggi sa application.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007112

Walang panibagong boto ng kongreso bago ilabas ang pondo.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007113

Lahat po ito may public purpose.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007114

Pero, kinakailangan po talaga dapat ang kongreso at ang implementation lamang po ang ginagawa ng DMA.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007115

Dapat po may guidelines at scorecard na inaprobahan ng kongreso.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007116

Pinapayagan ng Supreme Court ang LAMSAM appropriation.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007117

Di lahat ng LAMSAM ay automaticong konstitusyonal.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007118

Sapagkat hinihingi ng Korte na identifiable program, activity, or project.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007119

Sapat na standards at malinaw na hangganan.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007120

Kaya po, palagay ko po ay dapat pag-usapan ng kongreso nito.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007121

Siguro sa BARC, kung paano natin mapoprotektuhan ang palgo na mabigyan talaga ng tulong.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007122

Ito po ay support.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007123

Ito po ay support sa local government.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007124

Yung mayayaman, hindi na gano'ng kailangan ng supporta.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007125

Mas kailangan po ng mahihirap.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007126

22 billion na halaga ng bigas ang pinamigay noong 2026.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007127

Ito po, wala po itong economic effect sa pagpapaunlad ng bansa.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007128

At alam ko po, bilang matagal na sa paglilingkod

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007129

sa pamahalaan, marami po, marami dito nanakaw lang.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007130

Nanakaw lang po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007131

Wala pong absorptive capacity, ang COA, ang DILG, para ma-monitor ang pagbibigay ng 22 billion piso na halaga ng bigas.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007132

Sayang po kung sana napagawa ng mga ospital, napagawa ng mga paaralan, nabigay sa mga scholars.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007133

Napakarami pong pangangailangan.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007134

Simple lang po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007135

Alam nyo kung anong dahilan, bakit nagbigay ng 22 billion na bigas?

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-007136

The sponsor may respond if she wishes to respond because the time for interpellation has ended.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007137

Thank you very much Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007138

Again, the DBM appreciates the points raised.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007139

Ako din po, na-appreciate ko po yung mga punto na binagit po na ating Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007140

If there are...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007141

The two things we're protecting here, it's the Congress power of the purse and also the fact that we have oversight over the implementation of the program.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007142

So, yung dalawa pong nabanggit kanina, yung una po ay yung kung gusto po natin na ipasok sa 2027 GAA na magkakaroon po na kailangan pong ipa-approve yun pong guidelines at criteria.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007143

Bukas po ang DBM doon.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007144

At yung pangalawa, kung maglalagay po tayo ng kadagdaga ng mga reportorial.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007145

So, requirements patungkol po sa implementasyon na LGSF, maaari din po natin ilagay yung dalawang provision na yun just to safeguard the power of the purse and the oversight power of Congress.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007146

Madam Speaker, one last point.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007147

Sinabi po ni Usec Claire Castro.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007148

Sinabi niya na ang sinasabi ko ay intriga lamang.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-007149

Sa tingin niyo po ba, hindi valid issue yung mga nire-raise ko?

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007178

doon sa ating

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007179

DPWH, sponsored by

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007181

he has no

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007182

authority to speak, but he asked me

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007183

if I could ask you, so I agreed naman po, no.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007184

So, first of all,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007185

I would like to give you a brief

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007186

background, no, on why

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007187

I am passionate about this, no.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007188

Yung mga kasamahan ko po dito

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007189

noong 19th Congress,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007190

alam po nila

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007191

na ako po yung nag-aral

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007192

noong budget noong

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007193

2025,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007194

kung bakit nag... kasi

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007195

ganito po yung history niyan, eh.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007196

Yung 2025 budget, hindi po

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007197

naabutan

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007198

na ma-veto lahat nung

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007199

insertions. So, pinahold po,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007200

pinastop

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007201

ang implementation ng lahat ng insertions

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007202

noon, and I had to study

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007203

bakit nagka-problema doon.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007204

And these are the things that I found,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007205

no. One,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007206

I found that if we only

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007207

compared, kung pinagkumpara

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007208

lang po natin, yung

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007209

budget per

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007210

district,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007211

at nakita natin lahat,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007212

makikita kaagad natin yung mga bumubukol

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007213

na districts.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007214

Kasi doon sa mga bumubukol na districts,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007215

doon nagkaroon problema. Ano po

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007216

ang ibig sabihin ko na bumubukol?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007217

Because, di ba, if we will divide

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007218

the total DPWH

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007219

budget by the number of districts,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007220

ang average

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007221

niyan would be about 2 billion. So, more or less,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007222

may mas mababa sa 2 billion,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007223

may mas mataas sa 2 billion. So, wala naman

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007224

problema doon. Pero kung

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007225

ginawa lang natin yung

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007226

earlier, makikita natin ng districts na may

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007227

mga districts na

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007228

20 billion. Eh, pero

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007229

nalaman na lang natin huli nung

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007230

binubusisi na natin yun. So, that is

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007231

the reason why I am advocating

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007232

na ipakita natin

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007233

yung budget per district. Two,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007234

para maiwasan na natin to. Number one

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007235

po yan. Number two,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007236

pag tinanong mo naman yung mga

congressman nung district

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007238

na kung saan bumukol,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007239

sasabihin ng mga congressman,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007240

hindi kanila yan.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007241

So, di ba, nasisisi sila sa hindi naman

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007242

ka nila. And,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007243

ang masakit doon,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007244

isa doon sa mga malalaki ang

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007245

pinasok doon,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007246

ay mga party list. For example, the biggest

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007247

party list na nag-insert

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007248

doon is TINGOG with 5.96

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007249

billion. So, that is

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007250

the reason why I am advocating this. Para

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007251

maiwasan yun, no?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007252

So, ganito po. Para hindi

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007253

tumagal yung ating

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007254

usapan.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007255

So, that is the reason, no?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007256

And then, 2026, supposed, dapat

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007257

binago na natin yan. Okay?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007258

Ang problema in my district,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007259

in my district,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007260

and I've written you about this, is

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007261

may dalawang projects

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007262

na hindi talaga ma-implement

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007263

ng DPWH.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007264

Yung isa,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007265

construction,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007266

completion of multi-purpose

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007267

building, barangay

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007268

center, barangay

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007269

Tansa 2.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007270

Yan,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007271

ng title, pero wala namang

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007272

kinonstruct na multi-purpose building.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007273

So, papaano magkakaroon ng

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007274

completion? Isa yan.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007275

Pangalawa po, construction,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007276

completion, same title, multi-purpose

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007277

building facilities, barangay San Rafael

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007278

Village, Navotas,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007279

3 million. Wala rin pong

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007280

kinonstruct. So, papaano

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007281

magkakaroon ng completion? So, dalawa po

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007282

yung concern ko dito.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007283

Ang isang concern ko is

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007284

hindi siya implementable.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007285

Buti na lang,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007286

3 million

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007287

each yung amount, hindi malaking

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007288

pera yung nasayang ng gobyerno. Imagine

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007289

if it were a 100 million project

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007290

na hindi implementable,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007291

di, 100 million yung hindi

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007292

nagawa. Okay. Number two,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007293

since ako po yung

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007294

district congressman, pag may

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007295

nakakita nito sa

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007296

DPWH website, at alam naman nilang

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007297

walang kinonstruct,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007298

tapos may completion, ako naman pagdududahan

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007299

nila na

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007300

naglagay ng project na hindi

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007301

naman implementable.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007302

Okay. Number three,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007303

ito po,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007304

wala po ito sa NEP.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007305

Pumasok lang siya sa

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007306

HGAB. So,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007307

naipasok to doon sa

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007308

BARC. Okay.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007309

Kasi wala siya sa NEP.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007310

And when I asked the district engineer,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007311

sabi nila, hindi nagpaalam sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007312

Sabi nung city engineer, hindi nila alam yung

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007313

proyekto. Sabi nung barangay,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007314

yung isang barangay talagang totally wala.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007315

Yung isang barangay, iba

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007316

daw naman yung gustong ipagawa.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007317

Sabi ko, delikado yan because that is not the title.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007318

Okay. Yun lang yung pinagagalingan ko.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007319

So, number one,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007320

can the

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007321

honorable chair

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007322

assure me na wala

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007323

ng party list

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007324

na nakakapagpasok

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007325

ng ganyang kalaking

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007326

mga amounts?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007327

Yes, Madam

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007328

Speaker.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007328-split-2

Yes. Okay. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007329

Number two,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007330

I am not

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007331

against party list

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007332

proposing projects or requesting

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007333

projects because they also have

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007334

constituencies. Naintindihan ko yan.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007335

Wala akong pagtatalo

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007336

dyan.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007337

But ang request ko lang,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007338

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007339

is if they have requests

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007340

or projects that they

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007341

want to sponsor,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007342

idaan naman muna nila sa

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007343

DPWH. Hindi sa akin.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007344

Hindi.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007345

Wala akong problema, I think we should

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007346

institutionalize it

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007347

na kung ang district congressman

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007348

pumipili doon sa RDC lang

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007349

ng ilalagay doon sa distrito niya,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007350

sana naman,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007351

pati yung party list,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007352

dumaan din sila sa DPWH

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007353

at doon sila mag-request

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007354

ng projects. Pwede po ba yun?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007355

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007356

distinguished colleagues, so what

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007357

I can assure is whichever

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007358

projects are included in the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007359

2027 na HGAB

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007360

and eventually the GAA,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007361

maaayon po tayo doon po sa mga

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007362

requirements noong nag-budget

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007363

call po yung DBM. So

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007364

the same safeguards po, all

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007365

documentary requirements and a lot

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007366

of the documentary requirements

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007367

emanate from the DEOS

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007368

themselves, yung BP-202,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007369

yung mga

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007370

Certificate of Implementability,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007371

mga actual program of works,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007372

yun po kasi yung mga RDC

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007373

or MDC approvals.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007374

I'm missing one, geotagging

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007375

at sa coordinates. Ito po kasi

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007376

yung limang pamantayan na

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007377

talaga pong ginamit ng DBM noong

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007378

budget call. So we will adhere to the same

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007379

standards and make sure

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007380

that all the projects in the HGAB

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007381

and the GAA adhere to the same

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007382

standards po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007383

Yes po, so ibig sabihin po,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007384

DPWH po talaga ang

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007385

dapat magdaan. Kasi yung nangyari

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007386

sa amin, I'm not

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007387

singling out any party list, kaya ayoko

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007388

nang i-identify kung sino yung party list.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007389

Nalaman ko rin later, prior

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007390

to that, hindi ko alam. Pero nalaman ko

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007391

sa district engineer, may mga kumakausap

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007392

sa kanila na gustong pa-implement.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007393

Pero sabi nila, hindi implementable.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007394

So alam ko namin. So it's not about singling

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007395

any party list because alam ko naman,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007396

may constituencies din naman

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007397

yung party list, diba?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007398

I mean, if district congressmen have constituencies,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007399

party list representatives have

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007400

constituencies, and party list

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007401

party list

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007402

representatives, constituencies

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007403

are different from

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007404

each other, diba? May party list

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007405

na mas kailangan nila yung

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007406

soft. May party list

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007407

na mas kailangan nila yung

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007408

hard. Naiintindihan naman natin yun. But

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007409

ang hiling ko lang dito lagi

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007410

is transparency

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007411

and accountability.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007412

Let's be transparent.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007413

Huwag na nating sabihin na hindi nakakapag-request

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007414

ng proyekto yung party list

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007415

kasi nakakapag-request naman sila

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007416

talaga, diba? So let's just

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007417

be open about that.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007418

Kasi the more we

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007419

deny na nakakapag-request,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007420

lalong lumalabas parang may masama

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007421

na mag-request yung party list.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007422

Eh wala naman masama eh. Congressman naman sila eh.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007423

May constituency naman sila.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007424

Kung napagbigyan ng DPWH at nakita

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007425

ng DPWH na kailangan yung proyekto,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007426

ano bang masama dun? Ang sinasabi ko lang,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007427

let's be transparent.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007428

Pakita natin, ito yung sa district, ito yung sa

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007429

party list. Because mahirap din eh.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007430

For example, nag-request yung party list

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007431

ng isang proyekto na ipagawa.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007432

I hope you

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007433

understand. I'm sure you will understand this

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007434

because you're a district congresswoman.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007435

For example, hindi lahat po ng request

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007436

ng constituency natin na papagbigyan

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007437

natin. Tama po ba yun?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007438

Tama po, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007439

Ang daming request na hindi natin mapagbigyan.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007440

Tama po? Tama po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007441

Okay. Ngayon,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007442

makakapagtayo yung party list ng isang

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007443

proyekto

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007444

na later on, sasabihin po

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007445

ng mga constituencies natin,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007446

bakit yun napagbigyan?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007447

Kami,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007448

yung mas hinihingi namin, mas

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007449

importante, hindi napagbigyan.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007450

Sa atin, nagagalit because they think

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007451

for them, it's not needed.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007452

Diba? So bakit hindi tayo maging

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007453

transparent na hindi namin proyekto yan?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007454

Proyekto yan ang party list.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007455

Yun lang po ang hinihingi ko, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007456

Will the Honorable Sponsor agree with that

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007457

request?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007458

We will, ano po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007459

I agree po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007460

with the transparency and

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007461

accountability advocacy of our

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007462

distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007463

Okay. Next po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007464

Yung

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007465

2026

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007466

GAA, since

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-007467

nahan dyan na yan,

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007777

kung mayroon lang po akong maaaring

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007778

ihabol na sagot doon po sa paunang

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007779

tanong, kung ang dahilan po kung bakit

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007780

mababa po yung utilization rate

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007781

ng NDRRMF.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007782

Ang main driver po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007783

actually is yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007784

utilization rate ng disaster rehabs

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007785

habilitation and reconstruction assistance

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007786

program for LGUs.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007787

Amounting to 15.33

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007788

billion pesos. Halos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007789

kalahati po noong kabuuan na

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007790

pondo ng NDRRMF. Ang dahilan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007791

po doon ay wala pa pong

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007792

nare-recommenda yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007793

Office of Civil Defense

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007794

sa ating

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007795

Pangulo, kaya po wala pong nare-release

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007796

doon. Kaya kung makikita po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007797

natin yung utilization nila, talagang

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007798

zero doon. Pero yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007799

ibang components po, halimbawa,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007800

yung sa NDRRMP

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007801

mismo, sa National

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007802

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Program,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007803

17 billion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007804

na po out of 23

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007805

billion yung nare-release. So

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007806

para lang po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007807

makapagbigay po ako ng kadagdagang

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007808

detalye doon po sa unang katanungan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007809

Sa pangalawang katanungan po...

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007810

Madam Speaker, distinguished sponsor, with your

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007811

kind indulgence. May we request for a copy

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007812

of the items that you've mentioned. Thank you

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007813

very much, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007814

We'll furnish

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007815

a copy po to our distinguished

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007816

colleague. With regard to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007817

the second question po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007818

yung 45.67 billion pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007819

po sa kasulukuyan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007820

ay nakabatay po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007821

doon sa

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007822

mga disasters and climate

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007823

related shocks na ina-anticipate po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007824

na posibleng mangyari sa taon na ito.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007825

Ang tumaas po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007826

kung ikukumpara po natin

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007827

yung level sa 2026

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007828

GAA at yung 2027

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007829

NEP, ang

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007830

NDRRMP po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007831

ay tumaas mula po sa

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007832

23.49 billion pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007833

pataas po sa 30 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007834

So, yun po yung main driver

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007835

nung pagtaas nung amount.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007836

Yung People's Survival Fund po, pareho pa rin po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007837

Pero, nakabatay na rin po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007838

tayo sa replenishment

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007839

para po doon sa

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007840

QRF. At yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007841

panghuli po, yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007842

Disaster Rehabilitation Reconstruction

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007843

Assistance Program, medyo binabaan po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007844

by 600 million.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007845

From 15.3 billion to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007846

14.67 billion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007847

So, yun po yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007848

hindi po arbitrary, yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007849

pag-set po ng 45.67

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007850

billion pesos,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007851

nakadepende pa rin po sa utilization

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007852

rate and anticipated

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007853

potential

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007854

climate and disaster related shocks

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007855

po, pare sa taong 2027.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007856

Madam Speaker, Distinguished

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007857

Sponsor, yun lang pong follow-up question ko

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007858

dun sa tanong about

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007859

the budget na

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007860

45.67 billion,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007861

ano pong mangyayari

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007862

kapag ito po ay naubos sa

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007863

kalagitnaan ng tagtuyot?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007864

At sinasabi natin, malaking chance

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007865

na mauubos ito, kasi nga po,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007866

given yung naging record ng loss

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007867

at immensity, nung huling

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007868

El Nino noong 2020, 2024,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007869

parang medyo malayo po yung

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007870

amount na ito sa kakailanganin.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007871

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, we have several options as to how to go about it.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007872

Yung una po, meron din po tayong contingent fund. Isa pa pong uri ng lump sum funds na pwede din po natin i-access.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007873

Meron pong isa pa, ilalim po ng bawat ahensya, may iba't iba pong mga programa na maaari din po natin ma-utilize.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007874

But if in case po, wala ng ibang programa sa ibang ahensya na akma doon sa pangangailangan na kailangan po nating respondehan,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007875

we can utilize po the general provision on the use of savings.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007876

So pwede po tayong humiling sa iba't iba mga ahensya na mag-identify ng mga savings na pwede po natin i-revert to the National Treasury

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007877

para po pwedeng ma-reallocate po doon po sa pangangailangan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007878

Sa ibang mga ahensya.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007879

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, this representation cannot overemphasize the importance of ensuring that the 2027 budget is an El Niño-ready budget.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007880

And we hope that this will be reflected in the final copy of the HGAP.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007881

Punta naman po tayo sa usapin ulit ng Local Government Support Fund.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007882

Kung tunay pong para sa bawat bayan ng LGSF, sangayon po ba kayong i-itemize?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007883

Ito sa GAA for 2027.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007884

Meaning papangalanan po natin ang mga LGU at proyekto na paglalaanan nito kagaya ng ginagawa sa ibang budget line items.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007885

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, my apologies po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007886

May one comment upon the previous response.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007887

I assure po that we will do our best to make sure that the 2027 budget is El Niño-ready.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007888

Hopefully po makapag-reinforce po natin yung budget ng DA patungkol po doon sa mga fertilizer assistance and all.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007889

But we will do our best. I can give you my assurance po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007890

Doon po sa tanong patungkol po sa paggagawa ng line item para po sa iba't ibang components ng LGSF.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007891

Bagamat, ideally, gusto sana natin na ma-i-line item yun at ma-identify na po sa punto na ating pag-aproba ng HGAB.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007892

Ano po kasi? Request-driven. Request-driven po kasi yung pag-evaluate at pag-release ng LGSF.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007893

At sa kanilahilanan po na ito, at the point of us deliberating on the HGAB and the GAA,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007894

we still do not have visibility as to which LGUs will be requesting for projects under LGSF in the upcoming fiscal year.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007895

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, parang ang sagot niyo po doon sa tanong ko ay no, ano, hindi po. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007896

Madam Speaker, unfortunately, as much as it pains me to say, opo, hindi po kaya na-align item sa punto po ng HGAB.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007897

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, kung hindi po, ang tanong po ng marami ay, kung ganyan,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007898

ano na ang pinagkaiba ng LGSF sa pork barrel na tinatawag na unconstitutional

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007899

ng Supreme Court sa Belgica v. Ochoa?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007900

Madam Speaker, if I may, so with regard to this point po, the Supreme Court has already addressed this legal question.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007901

The Supreme Court, in the case of Belgica v. Secretary of Budget and Management et al.,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007902

has already ruled that,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007903

LGSF is a valid item of appropriation as it complies with the rule on singular correspondence

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007904

because it has the discernible and singular appropriation purpose of providing funds for the support of local government units.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007905

It satisfies both the completeness and sufficient standard test.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007906

That's why there has already been jurisprudence on the matter, which essentially says that LGSF is not pork barrel.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007907

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007908

Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007909

sigurado po ako na unawaan niyo where our reservation is coming from,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007910

particularly po dito sa highly discretionary na nature ng pondo.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007911

Kaya po, kinakailangan talaga ng transparency when it comes to the criteria, the scorecard,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007912

ano ba talaga yung rules that govern this.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007913

Kasi if you understand it correctly, the Growth Equity Fund Circular does contain a real formula.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007914

Ito pong larger assistance window does not.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007915

It turns on a scorecard.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007916

It turns on a scorecard that DBM wrote and has not yet published.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007917

Kaya nga po, through the Committee on Appropriations, baka pwede pong hingin natin yung scorecard, yung mga scores, yung ranking,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007918

at ano po yung rule na kinakailangan para po constantly ma-check natin yung transparency when it comes to this.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007919

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007920

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, I have here in my possession,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007921

a copy of the scorecard which DBM uses to evaluate programs and projects.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007922

So we would be very happy po to share a copy of such scorecard to our distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007923

But if I may quickly po go through, very high level lang naman po yung categories dito po sa scorecard.

So there are several areas we're looking at.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007925

So it's good financial housekeeping.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007926

Functionality of the Local Development Council, Compliance with Subaybayan Reporting Requirements,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007927

Financial Accomplishment, Physical Accomplishment, and Additional Criteria.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007928

So yun po yung ilan sa mga pamantayan doon po sa scorecard.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007929

Maraming salamat po Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007930

Punta naman po tayo doon sa usapin ng abandoned at declaration of savings.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007931

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, what does abandoned mean for purposes of declaring savings?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007932

Can a project

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007933

be declared abandoned even before the contract is awarded?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007934

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, it lies with the different agencies as to their criteria for determining what an abandoned project is.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007935

On the part po of the DBM, they're unable to answer.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007936

At their level.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007937

Kasi po ang dumadating na lang po sa kanila ay ito na po yung listahan ng mga projects na deemed abandoned ng iba't ibang mga ahensya.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007938

But we would be very happy po to facilitate, if I may commit on the part of DBM,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007939

we can facilitate po the discussion with the different agencies as to what criteria they use po for the declaration of abandonment.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007940

Sige po, hihintayin po natin yan from the DBM, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007941

Let me now go to the last set of questions.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007942

Pasensya na po, I promise 15 minutes.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007943

Nag-exceed na po tayo ng 3 minutes.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007944

Subukan po natin hanggang 20 minutes, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007945

Ito po ang aking huling tanong ay tungkol naman po sa program appropriations.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007946

Sa 2026 GAA po, 97.3 billion ang nakalaan sa support to foreign assisted projects.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007947

Pero nakapagtataka na as of August this year, 120.1 billion na ang nailabas.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007948

So nagtataka po tayo, lagpas ito ng 22.8 billion sa budget na nilaan ng kongresong ito.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007949

Again, 97 billion is in the GAA ang nailabas na thus far.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007950

August, 120.1 billion.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007951

Anong authority po ang ginagamit para mapayaga nito at saan iyon po nakasaad sa ating GAA?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007952

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007953

Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007954

So, looking at the report from DBM with regard to the status of fiscal year 2026 on program appropriations,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007955

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007956

So, looking at the line items pertained to by our distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007957

Yes, we agree po on the point of the Honorable Cendaña that yung sa support to foreign assisted projects po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007958

tumaas po doon sa nakaprogram na 97.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007959

As of September po kasi itong tinitingnan ko.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007960

Mula po sa 97.3 billion, pataas po sa 129 billion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007961

Taba po iyon.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007962

Taba po iyon.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007963

The reason why nagkaroon po ng mas mataas na amount doon po sa releases is that within the unprogrammed appropriations,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007964

there's a special provision which allows for modification of purposes within unprogrammed appropriations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007965

So, this is pursuant to special provision number 8 in the fiscal year 2026 unprogrammed appropriations section of the General Appropriations Act.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007966

Saan po nang galing yun?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007967

Yung additional amount.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007968

The additional amount po was pulled from the revised AFP modernization program,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007969

which is another allowed use or authorized use of unprogrammed appropriations in the 2026 nga.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007970

Ayan po.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007971

Kaya po lagi nating sinasabi yung ating discomfort talaga at yung pagtutol dito po sa lump sum na ito ng unprogrammed appropriations

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007972

kasi nga po very discretionary na ito on the part of the executive.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007973

Here, case in point, nakita natin mas malaki yung kanilang ginugol para sa isang item,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007974

lagpas pa doon sa mismong inaprobahan natin dito sa Kongreso.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007975

Let me move on po to another issue.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007976

Sinabi po ng Korte Suprema noong December 2025, nalabag sa Saligang Batas ang paglipat ng pondo ng PhilHealth para pondohan ang UA.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007977

Sinabi pa ni SE Associate Justice Ramon Hernando na ang unprogrammed appropriations mismo ay lumilikha ng unregulated space where discretion,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007978

replaces discipline.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007979

Ngayon pong 2027, mahigit 57 billion o kalahati ng UA ay para sa panunumbalik ng funds sa PTIC.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007980

Ang tanong po natin kung tunay pong obligasyon ito ng national government, bakit po nakalagay ito sa standby fund tulad ng UA

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007981

at hindi sa appropriations ng mismong ahensya na may tiyak na allotment?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007983

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007984

Sa kasalukuyan po kasi, wala pa pong Supreme Court ruling patungkol po dito.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007985

Kaya po ang ginawa po ng ehekutibo nung dine-develop po nila yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007986

NEP,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007987

ay nag-abang po ng

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007988

57 billion doon po sa unprogrammed appropriations just in case the government would have to comply with a ruling, a court ruling pertaining to the PDIC po.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007989

So wala pa pong balak ibalik talaga yung kinuha mula sa PDIC, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007990

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, upon conferring po with the DBM, as long as there is a court decision and second, the trigger for releases of unprogrammed appropriations is satisfied, which is there would be excess revenues po, definitely po magkukumplay po ang ating national government.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007991

Sige po, medyo nababahala din po tayo sa sagot na ito ng DBM.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007992

Pagdating po sa pera na dapat po binalik natin sa PDIC.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007993

But let me end with this, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, the people are demanding a closer look into the lump sum items under the GAA.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007994

Mandato ng Kongreso na magtakda ng malinaw na budget sa pamamagitan ng line-item program sa ating pong GAA.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007995

Dagdag pa rito, hindi natin dapat tinotolerate na may UA na nagbibigay ng malawak na kapangyarihan sa Executive o sa DBM na mag-release ng pondo na labas sa programmed budget.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007996

In light with this, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, we ask the DBM for the complete record of every release from the UA from 2022 to the present.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007997

Not just a summary, but every release, including the date, the amount, the receiving agency, and the specific program it paid for, together with the UACS code for that item.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007998

We further ask that this becomes the standard.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-007999

This becomes the standard for...

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-008000

...form of reporting.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-008001

If we cannot see where each peso went, no one can be held accountable for it.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-008002

Yun lamang po, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague. Marami pong salamat, Madam Sponsor.

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

Rep. Ramon Rodrigo "Rodge" L. Gutierrez

asr-008004

Madam Speaker, next to interpellate...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008005

Madam Speaker, if I may quickly respond po, my apologies.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008006

With regard to the request po of our Distinguished Colleague...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008007

Yes po, DBM assures that they will provide po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008008

The data from 2022 to 2020...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008009

Kaya na ba 2020?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008010

Up to half year 2020?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008011

Up to the latest information po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008012

Whichever latest data that they have, they have committed to submit po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008013

But it's also noteworthy po that the current level of unprogrammed appropriations as stated in the 2027 NEP is the lowest.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008014

In terms of the...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008015

...UA total expenditure program ratio.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008016

So ngayong taon po, in fairness naman po, nung una ko nakita yung NEP, then yun yung naging reaction ko na ito po yung pinakamababang unprogrammed appropriations level sa mahabang panahon.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008017

Dahil po, yun din po yung sinusundang panuntunan ng DBM na basta po kaya siya, programmable siya, identifiable po siya, dinalagay po nila sa programmed appropriations instead of unprogrammed.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008018

Maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker, and thank you very much po to the Honorable Perci Cendaña.

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008023

Thank you, Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor, sa DBM po, magandang gabi.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008024

Nung nakaraang taon po sa plenaryo, sa plenary budget deliberation, ay binigyang diin na rin ng kinatawang ito ang patuloy na underfunding ng pondo para sa PhilHealth mula sa earmarks na tinakda ng RA 11223 or UHC Act.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008025

Noon pa man, inusisya na natin kung bakit hindi na ibibigay ang tamang pondo na itinakda ng batas.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008026

Nung nakaraang linggo, muli po natin itong itinanong sa DBM.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008027

Hindi masyadong naging ganap na malinaw ang kasagutan, kaya ngayong araw po, pagpaumanhin nyo, kailangan ko pong ulitin uli in the hopes na mabibigyan po ako ng mas malinaw na kasagutan at higit sa lahat, isang kongkretong commitment mula po sa DBM.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008028

Tinanong ko po kasi ang DBM kung magkano sa palagay at sa computation nila ang total na collectibles ng PhilHealth.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008029

Since hindi po ako nabigyan, itatanong ko po muli ngayon, meron po akong figure na galing sa PhilHealth. Meron po bang figure ang DBM ng kakulangan nila sa PhilHealth?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008030

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008031

the DBM commits po, they do have

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008032

the figure, and they will

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008033

give the same po to our

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008034

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Up to what level?

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008037

Madam Speaker, Distinguished

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008038

Sponsor, ganito na lang po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008039

Unang-una, I really find

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008040

it a little bit disappointing for the

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008041

DBM to not have the

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008042

data right now, when in fact, I already

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008043

asked that last time. They should

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008044

have prepared the data today.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008045

So anyway,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008046

meron po akong figure

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008047

galing po sa PhilHealth.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008048

Baka po pwedeng i-confirm.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008049

I-confirm na lamang po ng

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008050

DBM ito. Ito po ang listahan

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008051

ng kakulangan ng

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008052

PhilHealth sa DBM,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008053

ng DBM sa PhilHealth.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008054

Yung kakulangan po sa

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008055

sin tax, PAGCOR,

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008056

and PCSO based on

is 199 billion.

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008059

133 billion

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008060

sa sin tax earmarks

po yan. Yung

62.22 sa

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008063

PAGCOR and PCSO.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008064

Bukod dyan sa 199

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008065

billion na yan,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008066

meron pong variance na

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008067

112 billion. Yan naman

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008068

po ang difference ng GAA

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008069

versus actual release.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008070

So ang total na kakulangan

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008071

po ng DBM

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008072

sa PhilHealth ay pumapatak

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

billion.

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-008095-split-2

Please continue.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008095-split-3

Madam Speaker, based on the data furnished by DBM, so the total recognized variance for PhilHealth.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008096

For DOH, it's 143.878 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008097

But this is excluding the PAGCOR and PCSO contributions.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008098

Thank you, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008099

Siguro po, maaari po ba ako mag-request ng pag-uusap,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008100

na mag-reconcile, siguro,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008101

kasi it's been going on for so long,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008102

kanina po, tinanong ko sa DOF,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008103

meron po silang binigay sa akin na official communication

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008104

about the total collections,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008105

but it is not disaggregated to specifically point out

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008106

how much is for the UHC.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008107

But since the UHC law is very clear on the earmarking,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008108

my office tried to compute kung exactly how much

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008109

based on the figure of the DOF.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008110

And my figures are actually near to,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008111

the figures of the PhilHealth.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008112

So, medyo, doon lang po ako parang nadidisappoint,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008113

Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008114

kasi tinuturo po ng DOF,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008115

ang DBM na should have known

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008116

kung magkano ang dapat na ibinibigay sa PhilHealth.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008117

That it's not their duty na mag-compute

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008118

because what they do is just to collect everything.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008119

It's the DBM's duty and job to,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008120

um,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008121

disaggregate kung how much will go to PhilHealth.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008122

So, baka diyan po ang unang problema natin

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008123

kung bakit patuloy ang underfunding ng PhilHealth

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008124

kasi mismo po ang DBM hindi alam

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008125

kung magkano ang ibibigay para sa PhilHealth.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008126

So, um, I guess it's about time that the DBM,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008127

the DOH, and PhilHealth sit down together

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008128

pag-usapan po talaga ito.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008129

Malinaw po kasi ang lingwahe ng batas na UHC.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008130

May earmarking po yan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008131

And additionally,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008132

Madam Chair,

Madam Speaker,

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008134

Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008135

last year,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008136

naglabas po ang desisyon ng Korte Suprema

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008137

tungkol sa pagbababalik ng 60 billion.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008138

Kaya nga po binalik.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008139

And part of the decision,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008140

malinaw na naman po

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008141

na sinasabi ng Korte Suprema

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008142

the allocation of PhilHealth funds

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008143

at the allocation of PhilHealth funds

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008144

under the UHC,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008145

Kino-quote ko pa to sa desisyon,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008146

are fixed by the sin tax laws

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008147

and merely passed through the GAA.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008148

In the same vein,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008149

the earmarking of the sin tax measures

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008150

under RA 93-4, 10-351, 11-346, 11-467

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008151

constitutes an automatic appropriation

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008152

in favor of PhilHealth.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008153

Meron pa isang portion po doon.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008154

The earmarking provisions of sin taxes

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008155

leave no room for any form of discretion

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008156

as to the disposition of the specific allocations

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008157

for very specific purposes.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008158

The earmarked excise taxes, therefore,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008159

cannot be changed or transferred

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008160

by any government agency

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008161

for any other purpose.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008162

I do not know kung malabo pa po ba ito.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008163

Ang linaw-linaw po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008164

ng lingwahin ng batas,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008165

hindi ko po maintindihan

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008166

kung bakit na naman dito sa proposed 2027 budget

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008167

hindi na naman natin maibibigay

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008168

ang tamang share ng PhilHealth

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008169

mula sa koleksyon ng sin taxes

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008170

ng PagCore at PCSO.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008171

Yun lamang po,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008172

gusto ko lamang po,

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008173

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008174

Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008175

na maliwanagan

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008176

kasi hindi ko na po alam

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008177

kung ano po ang

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008178

pwedeng dahilan na maibigay

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008182

Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008183

I agree with you completely po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008184

This is something that we've discussed

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008185

at length also

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008186

with the Honorable Montes

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008187

since last year

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008188

during the interpellations

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008189

and I agree po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008190

What I'm happy with

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008191

is that Secretary Kim De Leon

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008192

gives his assurance

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008193

that he would be very happy

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008194

to have that discussion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008195

among the people

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008196

of PhilHealth,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008197

the Honorable Montes,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008198

with BTR,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008199

and with DBM

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008200

to reconcile all of the figures po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008201

Ang nangyayari po kasi,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008202

which I agree with,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008203

with Sec Kim,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008204

there's a delay po kasi.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008205

There's a time lag

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008206

from the time that the BTR,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008207

there's a delay

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008208

in the certification released by the BTR.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008209

So, it's not,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008210

it doesn't just happen with PhilHealth,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008211

halimbawa po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008212

even with RCEF.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008213

That's also one of my

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008214

biggest frustrations po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008215

that there's a delay

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008216

in the release of these

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008217

earmarked funds

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008218

to the SAG-Fs

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008219

because of the delay

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008220

in the certification of BTR.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008221

So, we'll reconcile po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008222

Sec Kim po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008223

would be very happy

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008224

to engage in that conversation.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008228

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008229

earmarking for PhilHealth,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008231

2025 pong collections yun.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008232

So, I don't think there is

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008233

a reason

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008234

kung bakit po madi-delay yun.

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008243

sa figura ng PhilHealth,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008244

it's about 312 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008245

Isang napakalaking halaga.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008246

May we know from the distinguished sponsor how many beneficiaries from the LGU have received funds from this GEF?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008372

Or kahit yung total number na lang po ng LGU beneficiaries at hihingin na lang po natin yung breakdown kada taon.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008372-split-2

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker, my distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008373

So, ang meron lang po kami ngayon is as far back as 2023. That one po I can say right now, but DBM po will get the data for 2022. For 2023 po, sorry, nabulag ako. For 2022 po pala meron. It is a total of, hindi lang naka-total, 150, 270, 430 LGUs po for the year 2022. For the year 2023, 170 LGUs.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008374

For 2025, wala po sa 2024. Sa 2025 po, a total of 244. And for 2026 po, 875.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008374-split-2

875. Tama po ba? Dahil ito ay lump sum, hindi yan nakalista sa GAA for the years provided by the distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008375

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague. Opo. For the 2026 GAA, there is no annex wherein the list of beneficiaries is listed out, pero meron lang pong criteria na dapat po yung Growth Equity Fund ay para po sa fourth and fifth class municipalities.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008376

Madam Speaker, yung kawalan ng listahan dito sa GEF hindi lang po sa 2026, tama po ba? Simula po magsimula itong fund na ito, lahat nung mga proyekto ay post-GAA na po, post-enactment na na isasama o na-identify at nabibigyan ng pondo.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008377

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague. Yes po, kasi po meron pong, in theory po, every time we pass the GAA, there is already a qualified list of municipalities, cities and provinces po that qualify for the Growth Equity Fund, which is the master list essentially of all the LGUs that are considered as fourth and fifth class municipalities. But as to the amounts po, halimbawa kung magkano yung matatanggap ng bawat isa sa mga LGUs, tama po yun, wala po yun sa level ng GAA. That is determined po after the GAA is already passed.

Madam Speaker, bakit po sa kabila ng pagkakaroon na ng master list, halimbawa nung target po natin na matulungan ng mga LGUs na mga fourth at fifth class municipalities, may listahan na ito. At hindi po ba nakadepende din ang tulong na ibibigay

ng Growth Equity Fund sa devolution transition plan ng ating mga municipalities? Ibig sabihin meron na pong agarang batayan ang ating mga ahensya kung paano tiyak na maa-identify ang mga LGU, kung magkano at anong proyekto ang ilalagak sa ating GAA, pero bakit hindi po ba ito ginagawa? Madam Speaker, distinguished sponsor. Sorry.

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, upon conferring with DBM,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008389

sa level po ng NEP, kapag sinumite po nila sa atin ng ehekutibo yung NEP,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008390

meron na po siyang kaakibat na listahan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008391

Meron sa kanila, hindi po ina-attach doon sa mismong NEP,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008392

pero meron po silang listahan na siyang basihan po noong pong amount na kanila pong tinatalaga

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008393

para po sa growth equity fund sa NEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008394

However, that's actually not an attachment to the NEP,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008395

but it is possible, it is technically possible to have such a list attached to the NEP and later on the GAA.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008396

Madam Speaker,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008397

May nasa 10 bilyon na pondo para dito para sa susunod na taon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008398

Ibig sabihin, tulad ng nasabing nyo, meron ng handang listahan na may mga proyekto at amount ng pondo para sa mga LGUs na ito.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008399

Tama po ba?

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008400

...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008401

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008402

pinapakita po sa akin ng DBM ngayon na meron na pong sa bawat klase ng local government unit

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008403

na pupapasok po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008404

Doon sa klasifikasyon ng 4th and 5th class municipality, meron na pong determined level ng allocation.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008405

Halimbawa po, magbibigay lang po ako ng example,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008406

isa lang po yung probinsya sa buong bansa sa labas ng BARM na considered po na 4th and 5th class or 5th class which is Batanes.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008407

Meron na pong identified amount dito na 51.5 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008408

Sa cities po, halimbawa may siyam na fourth and fifth class cities.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008409

Meron po silang total allocation of 463.5 million.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008410

So meron pong designated amount per LGU.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008411

Pero as for the projects that will be funded under the growth equity fund,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008412

it still depends po on what the LGUs will request.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008413

But there are guidelines that govern.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008414

The types of projects.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008415

That can be released to them.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008416

Meron pong menu noong mga items na pwede po nilang i-request sa ilalim po ng growth equity fund.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008417

Maraming salamat Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008418

Meron na daw clear identification noong mga LGUs na makakatanggap.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008419

Ngunit ang sinasabi kaya nananatiling lump sum ay hindi pa identified kung ano yung kailangan ng barangay o municipality na mag-request.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008420

At sinabi rin ang ating distinguished sponsor na meron namang guidelines.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008421

Ngunit nababalik.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008422

Nabahala po tayo dahil laging ang guidelines na nilalabas ay pagkatapos na ng enactment ng GAA.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008423

Yan po ay nangyari ng 2022, 2023, 2025, 2026.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008424

At maski po ngayong 2027, nakalagay po dito na ang release po ng funds ay magiging subject pa sa guidelines na i-issue po ng DBM in coordination sa DILG, DOF, DEPDev,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008425

at iba pang mga relevant agencies.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008426

Hindi po ba kapag ganito ang sistema Madam Speaker, mas lumalawak po yung espasyo ng maari itong prone sa misuse, abuse,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008427

kung lump sum na nga, discretionary pabatay dun sa ilalabas na menu na may guidelines na hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin natin nakikita.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008428

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, I agree po with the Honorable Elago.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008429

So, sa kasalukuyan po kasi yung special provision ngayon, ang nakalagay po, release of funds for the growth equity fund shall be subject to the guidelines to be issued by DBM in coordination with DILG, DOF, DEPDev, and other relevant agencies.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008430

Yun lang po yung kasalukuyan na nakalagay sa GAA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008431

Pero siguro po similar to my response po to the Honorable EG Erice,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008433

If we so wish po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008434

Bukas naman po yung DBM na pwede po natin i-refine yung special provision further.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008435

Bukas po sila na ilagay na po natin dito kung ano po yung mga panuntunan na gusto po natin na idagdag.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008436

O yung isa pa pong kanina, yung suhesyon po na talakay po natin kasama po si Honorable Erice,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008437

ay pwedeng kapag na-develop po ng guidelines patungkol dito,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008438

kailangan pong kunin yung approval ng Kongreso.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008439

So, again, the DBM is open to any refinements to the special provision for us to, I guess, have more clear say on the part of Congress

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008440

kung ano po yung mga panuntunan na kailangan sundan para po sa growth equity fund.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008441

Madam Speaker, malinaw po, meron namang malinaw na pagbatayan para hindi maging lump sum ang growth equity fund.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008442

Ayan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008443

Kaya dapat itemized yan, dapat meron nang guidelines bago pa man maipasa itong GAA. Meron na dapat ngayong malinaw na pamantayan kung paano ito gagamitin.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008444

At higit sa lahat po, kinakailangan natin mapanagot kung merong may abuso sa paggamit nito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008445

Dahil kung hindi po natin yan gagawin, mananatilin pong isang malinaw na pork fund, ang growth equity fund.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008446

Kung walang malinaw na pamantayan kung paano ito tiyak na mapupunta sa servisyo na kailangan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008447

ng tao.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008448

Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008449

Manghihingi na lang po tayo ng ulat tungkol dun sa responsibility and accountability guidelines ng growth equity fund.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-008450

Maraming salamat.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

ang support to the Barangay Development Program of the NTF-ELCAC.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008460

Sa pagbaybay lang po ng kasaysayan ng Barangay Development Program of the NTF-ELCAC, nagsimula po ito ng GAA 2021 at nagpapatuloy nitong 2027 at tinignan po natin yung mga allotments na kada taon nag-iiba.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008461

Pansin po natin na yung budget it also varies pero nag-vary din yung numbers ng mga barangay.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008462

Ang recipient nito from 822 ng 2021 to ngayong GAA 2027, 1,948.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008463

Wala pong isang taon na pare-pareho yung number ng mga barangays na purportedly cleared and therefore ay maaaring makakuha ng support sa BDP.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008464

At iba-iba rin po yung allotments. 2021, 20 million each for the 822 barangays.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008465

2022,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008466

4 million each for the 1,406 barangays.

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008477

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008478

Good Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008479

hindi pa rin po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008480

nasasagot sa amin yung tanong na what constitutes cleared barangays under the Barangay Development Program.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008481

Meron po sa ating binigay na essentially paraan paano ikaklassify at gagawin po ng DILG at ico-collate ng DBM yung ganitong listahan in a year.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008482

But we'd like to pursue that line of question, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008483

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008484

Natatrack po ba ng DBM sa budget books kung aling mga barangay ang naging beneficiary ng BDP sa mga nagdaang taon?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008485

Natatrack po ba niya, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, if one barangay has been cleared for all years, may ilang barangay ba na hindi maki-clear in a particular year, mawawala sa listahan, may bago, etc.?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008486

Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, ano po bang tracking na ginawa ng DBM dito?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008487

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, yung determination po patungkol sa ano yung cleared barangay, nagmumula po yan sa NTF-ELCAC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008488

Ang binibigay lang po sa DBM ay yung listahan na po ng mga cleared barangays.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008489

Yung patungkol po dun sa beneficiary barangays, every year po, as you mentioned, for example, 2021, 822 barangays.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008490

For 2022, 1,000.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008491

406 barangays, and so on and so forth po, until 2026.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008492

Isang beses lang po, pwedeng makatanggap.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008493

ng SBDP, yung LGSF SBDP, yung particular cleared barangay.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008494

So they can only receive once po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008495

Even though they're declared earlier as a cleared barangay or later,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008496

nakadepende po sa kailan po isusumite ng NTF-ELCAC sa DBM

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008497

para po as a qualified barangay po for LGSF SBDP.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008498

So Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, is the sponsor confirming that this is a one-time grant?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008499

Meaning kung nabigay na po ito ng isang taon, ay hindi na po ito mabibigay sa mga succeeding years?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008500

Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008501

Yes po, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008502

DBM confirms po that this is a one-time grant.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008503

Once you've received it, you can no longer receive it in succeeding years.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008504

Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, hindi po ba unfair sa barangay?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008505

Yung barangays who've declared themselves cleared earlier, 20 million each ang nakuha.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008506

Lalo for example, in 2021, kumpara po sa mga ibang taon, for example, 2024, 2025,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008507

2.5 million pesos lang kada barangay yung nakuha.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008508

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, yes, we agree with the point.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008509

The DBM agrees with the point of our Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008510

Yung determination po kasi as to how much,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008511

how much each barangay would receive in a particular year

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008512

is dependent on the allocation that LGSF SBDP receives for a particular year.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008513

Because for a particular year, the number of beneficiary barangays is predetermined by NTF-ELCAC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008514

So, halimbawa po, nagkataon na ang liit ng alokasyon ng SBDP sa taon na yun,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008515

yun po, I agree po, nagkakataon po na,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008516

mababa talaga yung natatanggap nila.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008517

May pagkakataon din naman po na konti lang sila na cleared barangays na nag-qualify,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008518

tas malaki yung alokasyon, so mas malaki po yung natatanggap nila.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008519

So, the DBM recognizes po the point of our Distinguished Colleague na

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008520

because of the formula and the determination,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008521

nagkakataon nga po talaga that some years are higher than others.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008522

And Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008523

since na-mention na one time,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008524

masasabi po ba ng DBM with definitiveness na wala pong isang barangay na duplicate

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008525

na nakakuha ng multiple times para po sa barangay development program?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008526

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008527

kami po ni Sec Kim dito sa likod, tinatanong po namin yung team,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008528

are you absolutely sure that there's no barangay that received the SBDP twice?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008529

And they confirm po, as far as they know po, there's no barangay po that has received it twice.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008530

There's also data in Compass po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008531

in the DBM website that we can use to verify that information.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008532

Does DBM check that po yearly na kung anumang listahang binibigay ng DILG

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008533

or ang iba't ibang ahensya ay hindi po nakakuha na noon pa?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008534

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008535

sorry, we're just probing also, making sure that the answer is correct.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008536

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008537

the DBM relies greatly on the list,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008538

the recommended barangays that is included in the list submitted by the NTF-ELCAC,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008539

but the DBM agrees that they should do a second check,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008540

just to make sure that there are no duplicate barangays po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008541

Ang separate check na po ba ito, gagawin po ba ngayon,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008542

or pwede po bang magsumite na lang po ang report ng DBM?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008543

Yes, Madam Speaker, so they rely on the attestation,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008544

so there's a certification that NTF-ELCAC,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008545

specifically issues to certify that there are no duplicate barangays,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008546

but the DBM commits po that from here on out, moving forward,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008547

they will do a second check po for duplicates.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008548

Madam Speaker, good sponsor, ito rin po yung line of questioning natin,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008549

I think, noong nagtanong tayo sa general principles,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008550

aside from barangay development program,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008551

kahit po yung challenge natin sa DBM for confidential and intelligence funds,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008552

paano po ba ine-exercise ng DBM?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008553

Yung mandato nila na hindi lang sana collator ng mga budget requests

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008554

and i-compile for a NEP,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008555

pero ano po bang paraan na ginagawa nila to ensure na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008556

yung mga binubukas ng mga ibat-ibang ahensya at that level pa lang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008557

before po isubmit yung request for the budget at maaprubahan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008558

at ma-spot maybe ng COA,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008559

So, two years down the line, kung mayroon pong pagkakamali,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008560

may opportunity ang DBM kung paano po siya,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008561

hindi lang i-double check, pero tignan kung mayroon pong kailangan i-improve or hindi.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008562

Nonetheless, Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008563

kung mayroon pong maiprovide yung DBM na kopya ng attestation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008564

para makita po natin kung ano pong mga checks yung ginagawa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008565

ng hindi lang ng DBM pero ng NTF-ELCAC and DILG,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008566

para makita kung ano yung mga proseso nila sa paglatag,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008567

anong mga baranggay, yung cleared or hindi.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008568

Pero dahil Madam Speaker, as I mentioned nga po earlier,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008569

yung isang point na po na, well, one, unfair.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008570

How can we say na each baranggay makukuha nila yung kailangan nila

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008571

o yung dapat na makuha nila kung each year mukhang dependent sa allocation?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008572

Yung makukuha o hindi.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008573

20 million for this year, 2.5 million the next.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008574

What's to say na ito talaga yung parang solusyon na kailangan nila?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008575

And dahil, secondly, Madam Speaker, and this is our standing critique of the program,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008576

nasa budget naman po ng mga iba't-ibang ahensya na may specific mandate

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008577

to provide these services na pwedeng dun po ilagay yung pangailangan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008578

ng mga local government units natin.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008579

Rather than through this program na standing pa rin,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008580

yung pinupoint out natin na quote-unquote conditional development po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008581

ang inooffer ng barangay development program ng NTF-ELCAC.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008582

And third point, kung this conditional development comes at the cost of the suppression of rights

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008583

and freedoms of the people, dahil ang report sa atin on ground,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008584

paano ba nag-clear yung isang baranggay, tatanong-tanongin,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008586

kung ang student leader sa isang campus ay affiliated ka daw ba sa leftist groups?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008587

Can you sign this memo to say hindi? Etc.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008588

Surveillance, harassment, lahat po ito ay begging the question na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008589

is this the best way for development?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008590

Or is it, you know, proper funding of the different projects

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008591

to the appropriate line items to the different agencies?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008592

Madam Speaker, good sponsor, hindi po ito ang tunay na pagpapaunlad.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008593

Hindi nito natutugunan ang sinasabi ng layunin na wakasan ng armadong tunggalian

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008594

na nangyayari sa bansa natin ngayon.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008595

Sa halip na ilagay ang programang malabo ang proseso at pamantayang para magpa-clear

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008596

at meron nga pong maaaring mangyari na may tunggalian pa sa mga baranggay

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008597

dahil hindi po pantay yung nakukuha nila,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008598

mas mabuti pang ilagay na lang ang pondo sa direktang mga serbisyong panlipunan.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008599

That's all, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008600

Madam Speaker, good sponsor, we look forward to receiving the report

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008601

on how DILG and NTF-ELCAC attests na hindi po duplicates and whatever else methods

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008602

to ensure na hindi naman nauulit yung mga baranggay

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008603

as per the rules and regulations of this program.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008604

But for now, I have no further questions.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008605

Thank you very much to the sponsor

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008606

for answering our questions and I yield my time to the floor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008607

Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008608

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008609

Thank you very much to the Honorable Renee Co.

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-008610

Majority Leader.

Source

Rep. Beverley Rose A. Dimacuha

asr-008611

Madam Speaker, next to interpellate the sponsor,

Source

Rep. Beverley Rose A. Dimacuha

asr-008612

I move to recognize Representative Antonio L. Tinio of ACT Teachers Partylist.

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-008613

Representative Antonio Tinio of ACT Teachers Partylist is hereby recognized for his interpellation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008614

Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008615

Sa sponsor,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008616

Bibilisan na lang po natin ang interpellation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008617

Less than 30 minutes na po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008618

Di ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008619

Hindi po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008620

Okay, unang topic po natin ay yung pa ring Local Government Support Fund

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008621

dahil nasa lump sum funds po tayo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008622

Meron po tayong presentation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008623

Again, yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008624

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008625

So, nakikita po natin, again, one decade plus the proposal.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008626

For 2027.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008627

So, hindi ito unang pagkakataon na tumaas ang LGSF.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008628

So, you can see in 2018,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008629

ay 51 billion ang inabot nito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008630

As proposed, pero actually, ang appropriated, the orange one,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008631

the highest was in 2021.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008632

Sorry, 2017 pala.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008633

2017.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008634

2017.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008635

Unang budget ni...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008636

Pangulong Duterte, nung panahon niya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008637

So, ang pinakamataas nun ay 39 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008638

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008639

Actual appropriations.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008640

Pero talaga, bakit ba naging mainit na topic ang LGF?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008641

Dahil sa pagbukol nito, especially in the 2026 GAA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008642

Yung kasalukuyang taon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008643

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008644

Dahil nakita natin, noong 2025, yung appropriated, yung orange,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008645

22.99 billion ang LGSF.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008646

Pero sa 2026 budget, naging 57.8 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008647

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008648

So, almost times 3 ang inilaki.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008649

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008650

Kaya po, controversial ngayon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008651

Even at the time, Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008652

anong ginawa ito sa BICAM?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008653

BICAM po nangyari ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008654

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008655

Sinabi na po ng kinatawang ito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008656

presidential LGU pork yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008657

Yun ang tinawag natin dyan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008658

LGU pork ng presidente.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008659

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008660

At, mamaya, ipapoint out din natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008661

saan ang galing yung pondo na nilagay dyan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008662

Pero yun ang point.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008663

Pinapakita lang natin kung bakit mainit na topic ngayon ang LGSF.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008664

Next slide na po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008665

So, pinapakita lang yung mga components

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008666

nung LGSF.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008667

Iba-iba nga.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008668

Nabanggit kanina, Growth Equity Fund.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008669

Kanina lang, tinatanong yung tungkol sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008670

Barangay Development Program.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008671

Pero ang pinakamalaking component yan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008672

single biggest component,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008673

is yung tinatawag na financial assistance

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008674

to local government units.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008675

At yun yung talagang lumaki.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008676

So, it's 37.49 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008677

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008678

Next slide.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008679

Ito lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008680

Pinapakita lang kung gaano yung naging paglaki

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008681

ng financial assistance to local government units.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008682

So, as I said,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008683

bumukol talaga nung,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008684

well, lumaki na.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008685

Actually, papalaki na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008686

during the Marcos Junior Administration.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008687

As you can see,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008688

may pataas na trajectory.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008689

2025, it was already at 18.9 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008690

But 2026, talagang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008691

nag-skyrocket to 37.4 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008692

And also note,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008693

na lumalaki yung orange bar.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008694

Ibig sabihin nun,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008695

kongreso ang nagdadagdag.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008696

Hindi yan NEP.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008697

So, congressional intervention,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008698

insertion, whatever you may call it.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008699

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008700

Now,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008701

kanina, pinakita po ng kasamahan natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008702

yung regional allocation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008703

Diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008704

Yung regional and then hanggang mga city level.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008705

Tapos, hinighlight nga.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008706

Bakit ganon?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008707

Ano ba ang kriteriya?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008708

Sino nag-de-decide?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008709

At bakit tila mas malaki

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008710

yung mga mas mayamang syudad?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008711

Mas malaki pa ang nakukuha?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008712

Well, ito naman, additional lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008713

Pero ito, mas sa level ng individual projects.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008714

Para ipakita lang natin sa napunta

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008715

yung mga, yung financial assistance.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008716

So, these are the top five

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008717

biggest projects.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008718

Biggest single projects.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008719

Particularly, yung capital outlay projects

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008720

na pinunduhan ng financial assistance.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008721

Yung FALGU.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008722

Okay?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008723

Noong 2025, single biggest project, 500 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008724

Para nga yan sa multi-purpose building sa pamantasan ng lungsod ng Maynila.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008725

500 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008726

Second biggest, yung 450 million na ito nasa balita na talaga.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008727

Yung para sa retrofitting and rehab ng Robredo Coliseum sa Naga City.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008728

Third, Guimaras Province.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008729

200 million peso multi-purpose building, phase two.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008730

Fourth, nakita naman natin dyan, a farm-to-market road, 150 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008731

Malaking farm-to-market road ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008732

Kasi usually, ang farm-to-market road, 10, 15 million lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008733

Okay, Caloocan City, that's the fifth multi-purpose building para sa PNPBFP.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008734

135 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008735

That's 2025.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008736

2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008737

Para magka-idea din lang tayo, ang pinakamalaking infra-project, single, Batangas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008738

Partikular sa Lipa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008739

Multi-purpose building, phase one, 500 million pesos, single project.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008740

Okay, tapos San Juan City, may dalawang San Juan City.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008741

San Juan City, medical or hospital equipment, 356 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008742

Quezon City, rehab of a road, 179 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008743

Laguna Province, purchase of 40 units ambulance, 143 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008744

Wow!

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008745

Napawaw din yung isang kasama natin dito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008746

Dahil alam ko, lahat ng LGU.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008747

Diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008748

Yan ang gusto.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008749

And then San Juan City, hospital buildings, 100 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008750

So, just to give an idea kung ano yung posible at binibigay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008751

Through

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008752

Yung LGSF, particularly yung financial assistance.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008753

So, ang mga tanong nga, siguro kahit nung mga kinatawan dito, buti sila.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008754

Paano naman yung iba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008755

Paano naman kami?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008756

Who decides?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008757

So, yun nga ang tanong.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008758

Pwede po bang maipaliwanag?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008759

Sino ang nagdi-decide kung sino ang mabibigyan, maaprubahan?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008760

At ano yung criteria?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008761

Lalo pa dito sa mga infrastructure projects, parang wala yatang limit ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008762

Kasi yung financial assistance, typically, for infrastructure, it's 5 million, 10 million, pero tila umaabot hanggang 500 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008763

So, anong klaseng guidelines po ang nag-aalaw nito?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008764

So, could the sponsor enlighten us on how the FALGU works?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008765

Who approves?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008766

At bakit?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008767

Ganon.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008768

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, so the DBM, what we state in the GAA is that the DBM will be the one to execute from the point of evaluating to the point of releasing of the LGSF based on the menu po na ating inilalagay doon po sa GAA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008769

Okay.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008770

So, in regard to how they evaluate, they have a scorecard po that they use as a basis.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008771

That is their evaluation criteria.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008772

Tulad po ng nabanggit, ilan po sa mga tinitignan nila ay good financial housekeeping, functionality of the local development council, compliance with subay-bayan reporting requirements, financial accomplishment, physical accomplishment, and the like.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008773

Nakabase din po sila doon po sa request ng mga LGUs.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008774

So, yung iba po kasi LGU nag-request, yung iba naman po hindi din.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008775

So, limited din po sila by the types of requests na dumadating sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008776

So, all of the whole process po from the time of setting the criteria and getting the requests po through the portal of DBM, evaluating it and eventually releasing it, lahat po yan nasa loob po ng DBM.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008777

Well, una, emphasize ko lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008778

Kaya po namin tinawag to, last year pa, this is presidential pork.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008779

Kasi sabi natin, discretionary ultimately.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008780

Malaking lump sum, tapos ultimately, it's up to the executive, president, to decide kung sino ang magagawaran at magkano.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008781

Parang ganon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008782

Ngayon, ang nililinaw po rito, actually, ang patakaran.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008783

ay DBM ang gumawa ng guidelines, DBM ang nag-evaluate ng mga applications or submissions, at DBM din ang nag-a-approve.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008784

Including kung magkano yung ibibigay. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008785

Tama po, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008786

At tama rin po ba na under the guidelines of DBM, walang limit or cap, particularly doon sa capital outlay projects.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008787

Kaya po nakakakita tayo ng 500 million na isang proyekto lang.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008788

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008789

Madam Speaker, wala pong cap.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008790

Wala rin cap. So, theoretically, pwede. Kahit 1 billion, pwede.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008791

So, ganun nga.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008792

Okay, hindi po ba, wala po tayong nakikitang concern doon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008793

From the point of view of kahit yung equity, katulad ng sinasabi kanina, napakaraming mga LGU na nangangailangan ng infrastructure.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008794

So, ano po tingin ng DBM? Guidelines nila yan eh.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008795

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008796

Upon conferring with the DBM, yes po, we agree with the point of our distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008797

A cap is something that they can explore in the evaluation criteria in the guidelines that they will adopt for 2027.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008798

Pwede po yan. Kasi tama naman po yung punto ng ating distinguished colleague na you have a limited fiscal space.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008799

There's only a finite amount that's allocated for FALGU.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008800

Tapos, biglang.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008801

May malaking-malaki na isang request na makakain yung malaking porsyento noong kabuuan po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008802

So, the DBM agrees po that putting a cap is something that can be explored in the succeeding fiscal years po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008803

Okay, well, next point.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008804

Ang binabanggit po talaga ay ang tumatanggap ng request at nag-a-approve from the LGUs at nag-a-approve DBM daw.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008805

Ano po ang papel ng presidente?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008806

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, as to the receiving of the requests, evaluation, approval, and eventual release,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008807

wala pong involvement ang Presidente.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008809

Walang involvement ang presidente.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008810

Madam Speaker, and to the sponsor, pinag-uusapan po natin ay Local Government Support Fund and under that, the financial assistance to local government units.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008811

Correct.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008812

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008813

At hindi po ba kasama ito sa lump sum funds?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008814

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008815

These are lump sums.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008816

Correct?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008817

Lump sum appropriations.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008818

Correct?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008819

Yes, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008820

These are lump sum appropriations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008821

Yes.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008822

At tama po ba o mali na ang pagbabudgeting, ang batas sa pagbabudgeting, bukod sa General Appropriations Act,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008823

ang umiiral na batas sa pagbabudget ay Executive Order 292, otherwise known as the Administrative Code of the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008824

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008825

...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008826

Umiiral ang the provisions

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008827

of the Administrative Code apply to budgeting.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008828

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008829

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008830

EO 292 po ang batay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008831

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008832

Including lump sum funds.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008833

Section.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008834

Puntahan po natin ang Book 6, Chapter 5, Section 35.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008835

Okay?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008836

So, dapat nag-a-apply ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008837

Ang sabi po, Section 35, Special Budgets for Lump Sum Appropriations.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008838

So, ayun na po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008839

In-establish natin lump sum to.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008840

So, expenditures from lump sum appropriations.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008841

Authorized for any purpose or for any department.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008842

Authorized, meaning in-authorized ng Kongreso.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008843

For any department, office, or agency in any annual General Appropriations Act or other act.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008844

And from any fund of the national government.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008845

Shall be made in accordance with a special budget to be approved by the President.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008846

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008847

So, ayun lang po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008848

Gusto ko lang po ma-reconcile yung sagot nyo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008849

Na sabi nyo, walang anumang involvement ng President from pagtanggap hanggang pag-evaluate hanggang pag-approve hanggang pag-release.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008850

Pero sabi po sa Admin Code, very clearly, expenditures from lump sum appropriations kinakailangan to be approved by the President.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008851

Let me just elaborate.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008852

Bakit po ganyan yung batas?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008853

Eh, ang intention po dyan, that's a safeguard.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008854

Dahil nga may lump sum ka, hindi itemized dyan, in-approved ng Kongreso, as a safeguard against abuse, kailangan may pirma ng Presidente.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008855

At alam naman natin, pag may pirma ng Presidente, hindi basta-basta yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008856

Hindi pipirma ang Presidente sa anumang piece of paper.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008857

Merong vetting, merong validation, verification, etc.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008858

Kaya, importante po yung approval ng Presidente.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008859

Ano pong paliwanag?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008860

Parang nilalabag ang probisyon ng Admin Code sa inyong kalakaran.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008861

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, meron po dito din sa parehong section po, also in Section 35, Chapter 5, Book 6 of EO 292,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008862

yung first line po ng last sentence sa first paragraph, which says, unless otherwise provided by law.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008863

In this case po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008864

the GAA, through the special provision authorized by Congress, authorizes the DBM to issue the guidelines, criteria, and essentially administer the implementation of the lump sum funds.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008865

Meron din po, relatedly, in Section 47 of EO 292, Section 47, Chapter 5, Book 6 of the same executive order,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008866

it provides that the Department of Budget shall administer the lump sum funds appropriated in the General Appropriations Act,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008867

except as otherwise specified therein, including the issuance of treasury warrants, covering payments to implementing agencies and other creditors,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008868

as may be authorized by the President.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008869

So, may dalawa po na nagsasabi na DBM po, para pong dine-delegate ng Pangulo yung authority sa DBM,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008870

para po sa implementation ng lump sum funds.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008871

Well, let me take the second one you mentioned. May second provision kayo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008872

That only provides that the DBM administer the fund.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008873

Diba? Administer.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008874

So, sila, tama.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008875

Kayo, tatanggap, pwedeng mag-evaluate and so on.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008876

Pero iba yung approval.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008877

That doesn't talk about approval of the President.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008878

So, that takes it first.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008879

Sabi nyo, well, okay, unless otherwise,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008880

expressly,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008881

provided by law.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008882

Tignan po natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008883

ang mga special provisions ng LGUs.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008884

Ayan na po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008885

Ayan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008886

Financial assistance to LGUs.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008887

The allocation of the financial assistance to LGUs shall be based on criteria to be developed by the DBM

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008888

in coordination with other relevant agencies taking into consideration LGUs adherence

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008889

to established governance standards.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008890

Disbursement and utilization by LGUs shall be subject to the pertinent provisions of existing government procurement laws, etc.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008891

etc.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008892

Disbursement and utilization, etc.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008893

Nowhere does it provide for approval.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008894

So, wala po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008895

Wala po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008896

Inaral po natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008897

Wala.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008898

Walang sinasabi.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008899

Na dinelegate ng Kongreso through express provision yung approval sa inyo sa DBM, I mean.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008900

So, I hope the sponsor, I will no longer belabor this point, but I hope the sponsor will take note na baka, alam nyo, yung mga lump sum funds,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008901

isa-isang kine-question na sa Supreme Court, di ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008902

Yung unprogrammed appropriations, may pending dyan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008903

Yung, ano pa nga ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008904

Yung, eto, ngayon, baka mamaya, etong LGSF, isa ring unprogrammed appropriations, ay masama na rin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008905

At nakikita ko, merong mukhang merong paglabag sa kasalukuyang kalakaran.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008906

Because, wala akong nakikitang batas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008907

That expressly delegates the approval to the DBM.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008908

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, on this point po, the DBM assures that currently, wala po, the approval lies with the DBM.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008909

Okay.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008910

But, they submit to the wisdom of Congress.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008911

If we want to expressly state it, in the special provision

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008912

for LGSF

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008913

for LGSF for example

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008914

for 2027

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008915

we can expressly state

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008916

that the approval is required

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008917

by for example

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008918

by the president or if it

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008919

lies with the DBM

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008920

because there are two different kinds

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008921

there are two other kinds of lump sum funds

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008922

wherein that is expressly

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008923

stated. The first

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008924

is the contingent funds and the second

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008925

would be the NDRMF

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008926

so the DBM submits

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008927

if Congress so wishes

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008928

that for the GAA

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008929

2027 we can modify the special provision

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008930

okay and also

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008931

yung dati meron ding express provision

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008932

on this on authorization

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008933

yung unprogrammed

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008934

appropriations which is also

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008935

under lump sum funds. Meron ding express provision

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008936

po yun. Specifically

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008937

referring to section 35

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008938

but anyway and also

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008939

sabi ng section 35

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008940

unless otherwise expressly provided

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008941

by law. So kailangan talaga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008942

merong express provision ng batas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008943

Anyway noted na po yung sagot

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008944

that may address

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008945

the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008946

LGSF for 2027

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008947

fiscal year 2027

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008948

but not for the previous years. Yun lang po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008949

ang pinapoint out natin. Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008950

Next topic. And hopefully

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008951

this is more on a

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008952

lighter note.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008953

Okay. Yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008954

yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008955

yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008956

miscellaneous personnel benefits fund.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008957

Yan na po. Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008958

Tignan po natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008959

Una may historical na naman tayo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008960

Okay. Ito po yung again one

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008961

decade of the MPBF.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008962

Yung miscellaneous

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008963

personnel benefits fund. Yan po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008964

yung lump sum fund na dito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008965

pinagkukunan yung mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008966

dagdag sa sweldo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008967

dagdag sa allowance or benefits.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008968

O kaya additional

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008969

plantilla items

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008970

and so on and so forth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008971

So importante yan para sa ating

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008972

personnel. Ngayon what has been the history

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008973

over the years?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008974

Noong earlier

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008975

years, 2016

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008976

up to

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008977

2018, more or less

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008978

kung ano yung pinropose

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008979

sa NEP, yun din ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008980

aaprubahan ng Kongreso.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008981

Pero nakita natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008982

mula 2019 at

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008983

lalo na sa ilalim ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008984

kasalukuyang administrasyon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008985

starting

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008986

lalo na 2022,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008987

23, 24,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008988

hanggang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008989

25, 2026

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008990

even, ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008991

may pinopropose

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008992

ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008993

Malacanang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008994

tatapyasan ng napakalaki

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008995

ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008996

Kongreso.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008997

So ibig sabihin, yung pondo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008998

na dapat, ang proposal talaga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008999

ng executive, para yan sa sweldo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009000

para yan sa benepisyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009001

tatapyasan ng napakalaki. At one

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009002

point, yun po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009003

2024, pinakamalala.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009004

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009005

Parang ilang persyento na lang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009006

ang natira dyan?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009007

Yan. That is 78%

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009008

cut in

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009009

the miscellaneous personnel

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009010

benefits fund. Tapos ano pong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009011

ginagawa ron? Alam naman natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009012

e, babawasan yan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009013

to create fiscal space

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009014

for the insertions.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009015

Yun na po. And

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009016

2026,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009017

yung cut na yan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009018

yan po ang isang kinaltasan para

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009019

madagdagan yung LGSF.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009020

No? So kaya po magkaugnay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009021

yung dalawang ito. Ngayon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009022

for 2027,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009023

the proposed

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009024

MPBF, mababa na po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009025

ngayon, is

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009026

55.8 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009027

So una po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009028

ang tanong natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009029

actually, masang tanong po ito sa sponsor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009030

Madam

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009031

Speaker at

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009032

Madam Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009033

mauulit pa ba

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009034

yung mga nakaraang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009035

kalakaran

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009036

na babawasan ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009037

malaki ng Kongreso

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009038

yung pondo na dapat ay nakalaan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009039

para sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009040

mga sweldo o benepisyo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009041

ng mga kawani ng gobyerno?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009042

Babawasan pa po ba ito?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009043

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009044

distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009045

on our part,

I cannot assure that

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009048

myself, kasi po this would have to go through,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009049

again, all the amendments would have to go

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009050

through the Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee,

asr-009051

but on a personal

asr-009054

advocacy of our distinguished colleague

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009055

with regard to pera, and that is

something that's already embedded into the

as much as possible po, hindi po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009061

natin babawasan yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009062

MPBF, and more so, hindi po malaki

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009063

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009064

man, kailanganin man pong bawasan.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Okay, well,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009066

okay, hindi po babawasan o hindi

medyo,

asr-009069

hindi tayo totally assured. However,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009070

naniniwala ako na

asr-009071

ang tindig ng ating

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009072

chair ay para sa

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009074

dagdagan ang

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009075

benepisyo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009076

ng mga kawanin natin ng gobyerno.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009077

We're talking about 2 million government employees,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009078

kaya last point na po, yung tungkol

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009079

sa pera, nabanggit nyo yung pera, so balik

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009080

na lang po natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009081

yung breakdown ng MPBF,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009082

no? So, that 55.8

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009083

billion ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009084

ganyan po ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009085

breakdown, no? So, 21.8

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009086

billion for performance-based

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009087

incentives. Merong

requirements for staffing modifications,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009090

step increments,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009091

and so on. Ang focus na po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009092

natin yung sa increase in pera,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009093

11.79

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009094

billion, no? So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009095

two things. Una, ang positive

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009096

dito, magandang balita,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009097

after

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009098

17 years, ay magkakaroon

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009099

po, kung hindi na magagalaw to, magkakaroon

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009100

ng increase sa pera

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009101

ng 2 million government employees.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009102

Personal economic relief allowance,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009103

yan yung 2,000 pesos a month

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009104

na walang bawas

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009105

yan, no? Walang kaltas, hindi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009106

tinataks, na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009107

additional compensation or

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009108

allowance on top

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009109

of the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009110

monthly salary, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009111

Kaya napakahalaga po yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009112

Intended talaga para

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009113

economic relief, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009114

Yung pagtaas ng presyo ng bilihin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009115

Yung pagtaas ng presyo ng bilihin, and so on. Kaya lang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009116

2009 pa po yan na-set, yung 2,000

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009117

pesos per month,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009118

2026 magte 2027

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009119

na po. So, we're talking

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009120

17 years na hindi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009121

nagagalaw ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009122

So, una, magandang balita, natataas

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009123

na, merong 11.79

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009124

billion. Kaya lang, how much will

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009125

that translate to? Para sa ating mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009126

kawani, additional

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009127

500 pesos a month.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009128

No? Na,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009129

nung ni-share ko ang balitang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009130

ito sa mga government

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009131

employees, medyo disappointed.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009132

Medyo, hindi lang medyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009133

very disappointed na after 17

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009134

years, ay 500 pesos

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009135

lang ang idadagdag.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009136

So, ang panawagan po for

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009137

consideration of this

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009138

body, the Committee on Appropriations, the

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009147

finally, wastuhin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009148

ang matagal ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009149

pagpapabaya

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009150

sa pera ng dalawang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009151

milyong government

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009152

employees.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009153

At ngayon, makakaasa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009154

na, natataasan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009155

500 pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009156

Pero, kapos pa po ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009157

Kaya po, para maging

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009158

tunay na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009159

memorable,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009160

at maitala

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009161

sa kasaysayan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009162

ay dapat po, taasan pa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009163

ang 500 pesos

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009164

a month na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009165

personal economic relief allowance.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009166

Kaya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009167

masusuportahan ba

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009168

ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009169

Kongreso at ng DBM

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009170

ang, sa minimum,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009171

pagdoble o higit pa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009172

ng nakalaang pondo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009173

para sa pera. Para,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009174

at least, substantial

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009175

at mararamdaman talaga,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009176

ang increase

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009177

na ito, lalo pa sa panahon

asr-009184

affected in the HGAB,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009185

again po, that would

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009186

have to go through the deliberation of the Budget Amendment

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-009194

Cong. Tony, we've met

several times with different

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009201

Well, Madam

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009202

Speaker, hanggang doon na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009203

lamang po, no? Hindi ko na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009204

napakita kanina, bilang pangwakas,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009205

babalik lang ako sa LG,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009206

LGSF at FALGU,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009207

yung napakababang accomplishment rate

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009208

ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009209

ah, ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009210

ng ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009211

LGSF. Pero tatapusin ko na.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009212

So, it's, ayun,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009213

okay, disbursement rate, I meant.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009214

Ito galing sa DILG.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009215

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009216

Fund utilization rate

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009217

as low as 7%,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009218

no? For,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009219

especially for the FALGU,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009220

this is for 20,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009221

20, 25,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009222

and, 20, 25 yun, and then

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009223

20, 26. So, napakababang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009224

accomplishment rate po. So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009225

ang point ko,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009226

napakas, wag tayo magdouble standard

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009227

sa ibang mga hensya, pag ganyang kababa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009228

ang accomplishment rate, binabawasan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009229

hindi dinadagdagan ang pondo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009230

So, kaya po, naghahanap tayo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009231

kung saan kukuha ng pondo para

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009232

sa pera, eto na pong isa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009233

No? Bawasan natin ang FALGU,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009234

anyway, napakababa naman ang kanilang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009235

utilization rate para maidagdag.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009236

sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009237

pera ng mga kawani.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009238

Hanggang doon na lamang po,

We may disagree

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009306

on some priorities,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009307

but this is how

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009308

Congress should work.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009309

I also thank

my colleagues in the Minority

Source

for the past two weeks.

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009312

They stayed on the floor,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009313

studied the Budget,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009314

and asked the difficult

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009315

and probing questions that needed

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009316

to be asked.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009317

Our colleagues

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009318

in the Majority,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009319

we ask for your continued

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009320

understanding when those

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009321

questions are uncomfortable.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009322

That is not

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009323

obstruction. That is part

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009324

of our duty.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009325

The Minority is here

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009326

to fiscalize,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009327

to scrutinize expenditures,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009328

test assumptions,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009329

demand accountability,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009330

and point out matters

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009331

that might otherwise

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009332

escape attention.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009333

Majority and Minority

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009334

may disagree on particular

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009335

items, but

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009336

ultimately, we share

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009337

the same responsibility

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009338

to make sure

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009339

that the people's

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009340

money is spent properly.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009341

And this deliberation showed

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009342

that fiscalization

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009343

can be productive.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009344

Our questioning did not

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009345

merely identify concerns.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009346

In several instances,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009347

it elicited commitments,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009348

crafted government policy,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009349

and established timelines

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009350

against which Congress

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009351

can later hold agencies

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009352

accountable.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009353

There is an old saying,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009354

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009355

Show me

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009356

your budget,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009370

and I will show you your priorities. The proposed budget is 7.2 trillion pesos. But the 7.2 trillion pesos headline does not tell the whole story.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009371

Government expects approximately 5.2 trillion in revenues in 2027. Interest payments alone will reach approximately 1.114 trillion. Principal amortization is about 1.59 trillion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009372

Perhaps payments are financing transactions and are, strictly speaking,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009373

not part of the 7.2 trillion expenditure program, but they remain actual obligations of the Treasury.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009374

Taken together, that service reaches approximately 2.7 trillion, equivalent to almost 52 for every 100 pesos of projected government revenue.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009375

52 pesos.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009376

Then, government must provide for the national tax allotment, salaries, pensions, statutory contributions, and other mandatory expenditures.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009377

So while we speak of a 7.2 trillion budget, the amount over which government actually has room to make choices is much smaller.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009378

The amount of 2.6 trillion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009379

About 36 percent of the 7.2 trillion budget.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009380

Kung ganoon, pagkatapos bayaran ang utang at ang mga obligasyon, hindi na maaring pagpaliban, mas maliit ang perang tunay nating mapapagpasyahan.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009381

That is fiscal reality behind this budget.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009382

This budget will also operate in a difficult economic environment.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009383

GDP grew by only 2.3 percent in the second quarter of 2026, after growth of 2.8 percent in the first quarter.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009384

Industry contracted by 2.4 percent, while gross capital formation fell by 9.2%.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009385

At the same time, inflation remained high at 6.1 percent in August.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009386

For the bottom 30 percent of Filipino households, inflation was even higher at 8.2 percent.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009387

These numbers matter because slower growth limits income and employment opportunities.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009388

While

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009399

Inflation reduces what those incomes can buy.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009400

Para sa ordinaryong pamilya, simply lang ang ibig sabihin nito, mas mabagal na paglago ng kita, pero mas mabilis ang pagtaas ng presyo ng mga bilihin at serbisyo.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009401

This is why the quality of government spending matters as much as its size.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009402

The minority recognizes the need for fiscal consolidation. Under the government's medium-term framework, the deficit is expected to decline from approximately 5.4% of GDP in 2026 to 3.5% by 2030.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009403

But the revenues remain broadly around 15-16% of GDP, while disbursements decline from approximately 21.2% to 19.1%.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009404

Much of the adjustments, therefore, comes from expenditure restraint.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009405

There is nothing wrong with spending discipline.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009406

Government shall eliminate waste, duplication, and projects that cannot be implemented.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009407

But restraint should protect essential investments in people and productive capacity.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009408

Education illustrates the pressure on our fiscal space.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009409

The proposed DepEd budget is approximately P976 billion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009410

While interest payments alone are approximately P1.114 trillion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009411

We therefore spend about P138 billion more on interest than on the entire Department of Education.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009412

Education sector spending is approximately 3.99% of GDP,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009413

compared with roughly...

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009414

4.36% under the fiscal year of 2026 GAA.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009415

The classroom shortage remains substantial.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009416

Social protection deserves attention.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009417

The 4Ps allocation moves from approximately P113 billion to P99.08 billion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009418

AICS...

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009419

...from approximately P63.9 billion to P33.29 billion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009420

And the supplementary feeding program for approximately P9.56 billion to P6.36 billion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009421

There may be a valid program and targeting reasons for these adjustments.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009422

But with inflation among our poorest households,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009423

at 82.2%,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009424

these reductions deserve careful monitoring.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009425

Kapag limitado ang pera,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009426

dapat unang protektahan ang mga programang

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009427

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009431

Our colleagues in the minority

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009432

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009433

on record during these deliberations.

of Akbayan Partylist

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009437

perhaps the most important

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009438

long-term investment in this budget,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009439

our people.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009440

He pointed out that

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009441

while the national budget

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

social protection.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009460

we should take seriously.

to provide affordable

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009659

capital to entrepreneurs.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009660

His point is simple.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009661

Public funds

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009662

should translate into education,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009663

accessible healthcare,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009664

and opportunities for

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

a sustainable livelihood.

zero funding for the EDSA

Carousel Service

contracting, and fuel subsidy programs which directly affect commuters and PUV drivers and operators.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009674

He likewise joined the call for the remittance of earmarked revenues intended for universal healthcare

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009675

and adequate funding for field health.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009676

Representative J.C. Abalos of 4Ps Partylist raised the implementation concerns

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009677

regarding the community-based monitoring system.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009678

The proposed CBMS budget is about 5.062 billion, yet 4.92 billion, or 97%, is lodged in the Central Office,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009679

while 16 regions and BARMM share only 130 million.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009680

More importantly, 59,462 families.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009681

In the 4Ps set, 12 waitlists remain unmatched with CBMS data, some since 2023.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009682

Representative Audrey Zubiri of the 3rd District of Bukidnon raised the continued funding shortfall

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009683

under the Sugarcane Industry Development Act.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009684

The law provides for an aggregate of 2 billion annually.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009685

Yet, approximately 1.020 billion was appropriated in the 2026 GA.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009686

Her concern raises a broader principle.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009687

When Congress creates a program and provides a statutory funding mandate,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009688

annual budgets should give meaningful effect to that commitment.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009689

Representative Presley De Jesus,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009690

of PHILRECA Partylist,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009691

called for stronger support for total missionary electrification,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009692

total and missionary electrification,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009693

noting that proposed budgetary support for NEA

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009694

declines from 10.134 billion in 2026

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009695

to 6.486 billion in 2027.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009696

While many electric cooperatives still need to expand service

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009697

and rehabilitate aging distribution systems.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009698

He likewise raised the adequacy of the 2.001 billion allocation

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009699

for missionary electrification,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009700

particularly as higher fuel costs affect national power corporation,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009701

Small Power Utilities Group

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009702

operations in off-grid communities.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009703

He also emphasized the need to strengthen ERC's regulatory capacity

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009704

so that government addresses not only price spikes for temporary interventions,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009705

but their underlying causes, supply shortages, inadequate reserves,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009706

generation outages, and transmission congestion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009707

The concern,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009708

the over-reliability and affordability was reinforced

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009709

by Representative Sergio Dagooc of APEC Partylist,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009710

who focused particularly on the continuing energy problems in the Visayas.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009711

He emphasized that generation shortages,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009712

inadequate reserves and ancillary services,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009713

transmission congestion,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009714

and line rental charges

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009715

must be addressed

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009716

as one systemic problem.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009717

He likewise called for the rehabilitation of the Agus Pulangi hydro power complex

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009718

while retaining government ownership and control,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009719

and a reassessment of a limited strategic role

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009720

for NPC in emergency reserves and ancillary services,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009721

and consideration of a temporary,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009722

rule-based VAT shock absorber during extraordinary electricity and fuel price increases.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009723

His concern reminds us that energy policy is also economic policy.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009724

High power and fuel costs eventually find their way into transportation, food, production, and inflation.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009725

Representative Bong Suntay of the 4th District of Quezon City emphasized

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009726

that major appropriations must produce measurable results.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009727

He pointed to the P191.285 billion proposed

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009728

for the Metro Manila Subway and North-South Commuter Railway,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009729

stressing that rail spending must ultimately be measured

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009730

by working trains and improved mobility.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009731

He likewise called for health spending

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009732

to reduce the still substantial out-of-pocket burden

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009733

on Filipino families

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009734

and for government to maintain a credible fiscal plan

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009735

should revenues or economic growth fall below assumptions.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009736

These concerns differ in subject,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009737

but they reflect the same question before us:

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009738

With limited resources, where can government spending make the greatest difference?

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009739

That question applies equally to our investments in infrastructure.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009740

Mr. Speaker, even with limited fiscal space,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009741

we should protect infrastructure that can expand the economy

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009742

and improve national connectivity.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009743

Our interpellation yesterday on the DPWH budget

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009744

produced concrete commitments on the Sorsogon-Samar Link Bridge.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009745

We were informed that the government's 130 million

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009746

for the feasibility study will be complemented

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009747

by approximately 500 million from ADB,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009748

completing the estimated 650 million funding requirement.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009756

Bidding is expected to begin this November

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009757

with the study taking about one year.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009758

Detailed engineering is targeted for 2028

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009759

followed by civil works bidding in 2028 or early 2029.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009760

If the project proves feasible

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009761

and the timetable is followed,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009762

completion could be around 2025

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009763

or 2036.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009764

This is significant because

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009765

Secretary Vince Dixon cited an estimated

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009766

42% economic rate of return

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009767

for the project and inform us

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009768

of a strong interest

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009769

from development partners and investors.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009770

This also should be a challenge to NEDA,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009771

DEPDev and DEPDev.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009772

ADB and higher development partners appear willing

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009773

to support the mega projects

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009774

when the economic case is strong.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009775

Let us identify other major infrastructure projects

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009776

with high economic rates of return,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009777

subject them to rigorous feasibility studies,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009778

and bring them to the table.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009779

If the project is a viable project to ADB,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009780

JICA, Korea, and other development partners,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009781

Kung mataas ang economic return

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009782

at may handang tumulong sa financing,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009783

hanapin natin ang mga proyektong ito

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009784

at simulan natin.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009785

May pondo na,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009786

may timetable pa.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009787

Ang mas mahalaga ngayon

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009788

ay matupad ang mga commitment na ito.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009789

The vision, however,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009790

should extend beyond Sorsogon and Samar.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009791

For the

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009792

for the Southern Leyte-Surigao Link,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009793

350 million has been identified

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009794

for the feasibility study

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009795

with DPWH negotiating with ADB

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009796

for additional funding required.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009797

During the same interpellation,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009798

we also obtained commitments

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009799

to pursue funding for three additional inter-island links,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009800

Maasin, Southern Leyte,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009801

to Lapinig Island,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009802

to Ubay, to Bohol,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009803

Getafe, Bohol,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009804

to Cordoba, Cebu,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009805

and Santander, Cebu,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009806

to Sibulan, Negros.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009807

The DPWUH indicated

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009808

that these projects could secure

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009809

funding in the next budget

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009810

and through development partners or investors

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009811

with the Bohol-Cebu connection already studied

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009812

by the department,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009813

and identified as a priority.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009814

We should also include

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009815

the Camarines Sur-Catanduanes Inter-Island Connectivity Project

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009816

or the Friendship Bridge

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009817

being pushed by Representative Leo Rodriguez of Catanduanes,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009818

envisioned as a long-span bridge connecting Catanduanes

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009819

to mainland Bicol.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009820

The project already has around 80 million

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009821

in the 2026 GAA for feasibility study.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009822

It belongs to the same larger vision

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009823

using strategic inter-island links

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009824

to connect communities that geography

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009825

has long kept apart.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009826

Taken together,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009827

these proposed links

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009828

could form part of a more integrated

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009829

inter-island transport network

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009830

across the Philippine archipelago,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009831

connecting Catanduanes to mainland Bicol,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009832

Luzon to Samar, Samar to Leyte,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009833

Leyte to Mindanao,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009834

while establishing additional fixed links

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009835

from Leyte to Bohol,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009836

Bohol to Cebu, Cebu to Negros,

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009837

and eventually Negros to Panay,

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009839

In a period of slow economic growth,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009840

these are the kinds of transformative projects

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009841

worth carefully pursuing.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009842

Projects that can shorten travel time,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009843

lower logistics costs,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009844

open new markets,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009845

bring communities closer together,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009846

and ultimately expand the country's productive capacity.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009847

As this representation has said

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009848

during the interpellation,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009849

we bring our people to their destination faster.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009850

We can bring our patients faster to our hospitals.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009851

We can move

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009852

our goods faster,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009853

and we can bring our families closer together.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009854

But connectivity is not only an economic issue.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009855

In an archipelagic country,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009856

the same infrastructure that moves people and goods

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009857

also strengthens our ability

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009858

to respond to disasters,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009859

move resources,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009860

and secure our territory.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009861

This brings us to another concern

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009862

raised during the budget deliberations

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009863

the need to strengthen our eastern seaboard.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009864

Our eastern coast is not only an economic corridor,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009865

it is also a strategic frontier.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009866

In recent weeks,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009867

the AFP confirmed monitoring foreign vessels

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009868

passing off the coast of eastern Samar.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009869

The AFP assessed that particular passage

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009870

as non-threatening and consistent with navigation

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009871

through a normal shipping route.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009872

We accept that professional assessment,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009873

but it also reminds us of something basic.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009874

Our defense posture cannot only be westward.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009875

The Philippines is an archipelago.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009876

Our eastern approaches face Pacific

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009877

and cover a vast maritime area.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009878

The AFP's comprehensive archipelagic defense concept itself

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009879

recognizes the need to defend our entire maritime domain,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009880

including our exclusive economic zones

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009881

and vital sea lanes.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009882

Consequently,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009883

Representative Christopher Sheen Gonzales

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009884

of the Lone District of Eastern Samar proposes

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009885

for the need to strengthen the country's defense posture

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009886

along eastern seaboard.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009887

As our forces modernizes,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009888

he called for greater investments

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009889

in maritime domain awareness,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009890

radar and surveillance,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009891

naval and air capacities,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009892

and strategic facilities

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009893

along our Pacific coast

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009894

that will enable our forces

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009895

to effectively monitor and respond

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009896

when necessary.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009897

This is not about identifying any country

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009898

as an enemy.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009899

It is simply responsible national defense.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009900

Kung pinapalakas

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009901

natin ang depensa sa kaunlaran.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009902

Hindi dapat pabayaan ang silangan.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009903

Ang isang kapuluan ay dapat may kakayahang bantayan

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009904

ang kanyang mga hangganan.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009905

The bridges and transport links

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009906

we have discussed also have strategic dimension.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009907

Better ports, roads, bridges, and logistics networks

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009908

strengthen not only commerce

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009909

but also disaster response, humanitarian assistance, and national resilience.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009910

A connected Eastern Seaboard should therefore be a part of a broader national strategy.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009911

We must protect it economically, secure it adequately, and ensure that development reaches the regions that have historically remained farthest from the centers of growth.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009912

And that brings us to another principle that should guide this budget – regional equity.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009913

Earlier, House Policy Research found that budget shares of Visayas and Mindanao have historically fallen below the shares of the country's poor population.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009914

Large appropriations classified as nationwide or central office expenditures also make geographic distribution difficult to determine at enactment.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009915

We are not asking for equal amounts for every region.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009916

Allocations should reflect population, poverty, infrastructure, infrastructure gaps, disaster exposure, and geographic isolation.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009917

Hindi dapat maging hadlang sa pag-unlad ang pagiging malayo sa sintro ng bansa.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009918

We acknowledge one important reform in this budget.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009919

Unprogrammed appropriations have been reduced approximately 112 billion or only 1.6% of the expenditure program.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009920

That is welcome.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009921

But transparency must also extend to program appropriations.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009922

Congress should know, as far as practicable, the project, location, beneficiary, and purpose of the funds it appropriates.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009923

Post-enactment discretion through lump sums, realignments, and release conditions should remain limited and transparent.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009924

Kung ang kongreso ang may power of the purse dapat malinaw sa atin kung saan papunta ang pera sa oras na aprobahan natin ang budget.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009925

And accountability should continue after enactment.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009926

Indeed, an appropriation is not an

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009927

accomplishment.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009928

What matters is what kind is what was actually implemented and whether it improved people's lives.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009929

Representative Robert Nazal of [unclear] also cautioned against unlawful or manufactured savings.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009930

Unspent funds should not automatically become savings.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009931

And projects should not be delayed.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009932

Merely to create funds

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009933

for transfer elsewhere.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009934

Every declaration of savings must have a clear legal basis, proper documentation, and accountability.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009935

Relatedly, Representative Edgar Erice of the 2nd District of Caloocan raised an important constitutional concern regarding the local government support fund.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009936

and amount of discretion

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009937

that may remain after Congress approves the budget.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009938

The Supreme Court has upheld the LGU as a valid appropriation where it has sufficiently defined purpose and adequate standards governing its implementation.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009939

But this concern deserves attention.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009940

Kung pagkatapos nating aprobahan ng budget, saka pa lamang malalaman kung aling LGU ang makakakuha,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009941

magkano ang makakatanggap at kung anong proyekto ang pupunduhan,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009942

Congress must carefully examine whether it has sufficiently exercised its own power of appropriation.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009943

The issue is not whether we should assist our LGUs.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009944

We should.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009945

The issue is whether the GAA itself provides clear and objective standards

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009946

so that the allocation of billions of pesos in local government

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009947

support remains consistent with Congress' constitutional power of the purse.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009948

Madam Speaker,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009949

the minority recognizes the good provisions of this measure.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009950

We recognize the reduction of the unprogrammed operations.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009951

We recognize the need for fiscal discipline.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009952

We recognize the programs and infrastructure investments that can contribute to growth.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009953

And we appreciate

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009966

the majority's willingness to subject this budget to sustained scrutiny, but our reservations remain.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009967

The fiscal choices before us are therefore difficult.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009968

Economic growth has slowed, inflation continues to weigh most heavily on poorer households,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009969

and substantial share of government revenues is already committed to debt service and other mandatory obligations.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009970

Against this backdrop, the real measure of 7.2 trillion budget is not its size,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009971

but the choices we make with the fiscal space that remains.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009972

Whether we spend it efficiently,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009973

direct it where it matters most,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009974

and invest it in ways that strengthen our capacity to grow.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009975

I began by saying, show me your budget, I will show you your priorities.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009976

After these deliberations, I would add only this.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009977

Ipakita natin kung saan napunta ang bawat pesong kaya pa nating pagpasyahan,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009978

at ipakita natin ang resulta.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009979

The final test of this budget will not be found in these pages.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009980

It will be found in the lives of our people.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009981

Kung dahil sa budget na ito,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009982

ay mas maraming Pilipino ang magkakaroon ng disinting trabaho,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009983

mapayapang tahanan, magandang kinabukasan para sa kanilang mga anak,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009984

at pagkakataong umasinso sa sariling pagsisikap,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009985

then,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009986

we will have done our duty.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009987

Sapagkat,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009988

ang tunay na pagunlad,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009989

ay kapag

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009990

ang mga kababayan natin

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009991

ay nabubuhay ng marangal,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009992

may tiwala sa sarili,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-009993

at may pagmamalaking sabihin,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010008

Mga kasamahan sa Kongreso, ang pinakamahalagang tanong sa ating sampung araw na debate at interpelasyon sa pambansang budget para sa 2027 ay hindi kung magkano.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010009

Hindi mga numero at statistika, kundi para kanino? Para kanino ang budget na ito?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010010

Sino ang pangunahing pinagsisilbihan ng budget? Sino ang pangunahing makikinabang?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010011

Sinasabi ng Malacanang, para sa bayan, this is a people's budget, they say. We say to that, really? Talaga ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010012

The right reply to that is, who are these people you speak of?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010013

Ang pambansang budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010014

Ang pambansang budget ay salamin ng pambansang patakaran.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010015

Sabi ng presidente at mga economic managers, hindi na mahirap na bansa ang Pilipinas. Upper middle income country na raw tayo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010016

Pero, sabi ng ordinaryong Pilipino, di ko ramdam. Bakit ganon?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010017

For decades, the national budget has faithfully supported one set of policies.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010018

Often called neoliberal or free market policies. Ito po yung privatization, deregulation, and liberalization.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010019

Under these policies, the things a nation needs just to function are now owned by a handful of families and conglomerates.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010020

Energy. Oil and gas. Electricity. Water. Telecommunications. Our expressways.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010021

Airports. Seaports. Dating nasa kamay ng gobyerno, ngayon, malalaking profit centers pinagkikitaan ng iilan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010022

Lumago ang ekonomiya. At sila ang pangunahing nakikinabang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010023

Ano ang resulta? Mahal na serbisyo. Mataas na presyo. Mahal na kuryente. Mahal na tubig. Mahal na bigas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010024

At pambihirang yaman para sa iilang oligarko.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010025

Hindi na lang mga bilyonaryo. Mga trilyonaryo na ang mga pinakamayamang Pilipino.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010026

Razon, Ramon Ang, Pangilinan, Aboitiz. Yan lang ang ilan sa mga pangunahing nakikinabang sa economic policies and environment na sinusustentuhan ng pambansang budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010027

Samantala, sino ang pumapasan, pinipiga, at nagbabayad?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010028

Ang mga small and medium businesses na gipit dahil sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Pang-apat, kinaltasan ang serbisyo habang pinapalaki ang ayuda. Funding for core education programs for teachers, for hospitals, health workers, social welfare and labor protection are cut.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010280

while AICS, MAIFIP and TUPAD remain the main channels for help at gusto pang dagdagan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010281

Pang-lima, pinagdadamutan ang mga kawani ng gobyerno. After 17 years without an increase in personnel economic relief allowance, 2 million government employees are offered a mere 500 pesos a month increase.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010282

Dapat dagdagan ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010283

At nasa posisyon ang administrasyon at si Pangulong Marcos para gumuhit sa kasaysayan sa pamamagitan ng significant, substantial increase sa PERA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010284

Mr. Speaker, hindi lang po tayo nag-offer ng analysis at critique. We come with specific demands.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010285

Una, no to pork.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010286

No to ineffective and wasteful flood control.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010287

Tanggalin na po yung 107 billion at ang pondong ito pwedeng ilipat sa mga hinihingi nating dagdag.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010288

Itigil ang LGSF bilang presidential pork.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010289

Isama na rin ang confidential and intelligence funds na mahigit 10 billion piso.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010290

Pangalawa, ibalik ang binawas at taasan ng pondo para sa edukasyon, kalusugan, pabahay at social welfare.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010291

Pondo para sa serbisyo, hindi ayuda.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010292

Pondo para sa dagdag na classroom at teacher items sa basic at higher education.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010293

Dagdag na hospital beds at health workers para maging regular ang mga job order and contract of service.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010294

Pondohan ang 5.3 billion pesos na free higher education deficiency for 2026 and 2027.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010295

Pondohan ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010296

production subsidy na 50,000 para sa magsasaka at 30,000 para sa mangingisda.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010297

Pangatlo, PERA ng mga kawani ng gobyerno dagdagan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010298

After 17 years, hindi po sapat ang 500 peso increase.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010299

Minimum, doblehin po ang appropriations pero kailangan higit pa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010300

And there must be regularization.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010301

Para sa mga job order.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010302

At contract of service sa gobyerno.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010303

Pangapat, no to Pax Silica and US military presence on our soil.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010304

We need an independent industrialization policy that builds our own industries and jobs.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010305

And an independent defense policy that serves Filipino interests, not foreign strategy.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010306

Bilang pangwakas, Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010307

these demands are urgent and they must be met.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010308

But even if every one of these demands were granted, they would not change the fundamental character of this budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010309

Debate on the budget is ultimately a debate on national policy.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010310

The budget reflects policy.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010311

As long as the policy is privatization, deregulation, liberalization, debt-driven patronage,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010312

and dependence on a foreign power, the budget will reflect it, no matter how many line items we amend.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010313

Kaya ang laban ay hindi lamang laban sa loob ng General Appropriations Bill.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010314

Ang laban ay para baguhin ang patakaran na pinagsisilbihan nito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010315

It is a fight for a budget that serves the Filipino people, not the oligarchs, not the dynasties, not a foreign power.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010316

Budget para sa serbisyo, hindi para sa pork, para sa mamamayan, hindi para sa ilan, para sa bayan, hindi para sa dayuhan.
