Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-000033Session resumed. Majority Leader.
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-000034Madam Speaker, I move to consider the proposed budget of the Energy Regulatory Commission.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-000034-split-2Any objection? Hearing none, the proposed budget, the period of sponsorship, debate and interpellation of the proposed budget of the Energy Regulatory Commission is hereby open. Majority Leader.
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-000034-split-3Madam Speaker, may we acknowledge the heads and officials of the Energy Regulatory Commission,
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-000035namely Chairperson and CEO, Francis.
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-000036Juan, Commissioner Floricinda Baldo-Digal, Commissioner Marco Romeo Fuentes, Commissioner Amante Liberato, and Commissioner Paris G. Riel.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-000037To the Energy Regulatory Commission family, headed by the Chairperson and the CEO, Francis Saturnino Juan, maraming salamat sa inyong pagbisita. Welcome to the House of the People.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-000038Majority Leader.
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-000039Madam Speaker, I move that we recognize...
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-000040Vice Chair Arne Fuentebella from the 4th District of Camarines Sur.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-000041The brilliant Vice Chair of the Committee on Appropriations from the 4th District of Camarines Sur,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-000042the Honorable Arne Fuentebella is hereby recognized to sponsor the ERC proposed budget.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000043Thank you, Madam Speaker. For expediency, please allow me to submit my sponsorship speech to the Committee, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000046And I'm ready to answer the queries of our colleagues.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-000047Majority Leader.
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-000049Madam Speaker, I move that we recognize Representative De Jesus from Felirica Partylist.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-000050The Honorable President De Jesus is recognized for his interpellation.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000051Thank you, Madam Speaker. Of course, to the distinguished colleague of mine and to all ERC family, magandang hapon po sa atin. Madam Speaker, DOE sets energy policy.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000053But when an ordinary consumer asks why this amount is appearing on my electricity bill, much of the answer leads to the Energy Regulatory Commission. So let's begin with that. Does the ERC budget give it sufficient capacity to regulate a power industry that is becoming larger and substantially more complicated? Can the good sponsor confirm that the ERC total available appropriations for fiscal year 2027 are approximately
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000054944.1 million?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000054-split-2Yes, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000054-split-3Thank you, Madam Speaker and Distinguished Sponsor. Madam Speaker, compared with total available appropriations of approximately 1.83 billion in 2026, that represents a reduction of about 12.8%. Is that correct?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000054-split-4Absolutely correct, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000054-split-5Yet at the same time,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000055ERC is dealing with distribution and transmission rate resets, WESM interventions, net metering, microgrids, consumer refunds, and increasingly complex new technologies.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000056Why is ERC's resource support declining while the scope and complexity of its regulatory work are increasing?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000057Can you repeat, sorry, Madam Speaker?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000057-split-2Madam Speaker, nag-decline ang inyong support budget but tumaas naman the complexity of regulatory work. Kumbaga yung trabaho ninyo nadagdagan pa.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000057-split-3Yes, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000057-split-4Thank you, Madam Speaker. In fact, ERC
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000058said it originally sought approximately 1.7 billion for 2027, but the NEP provides only around 944 million, roughly 762 million or 44.7% below the agency request. Is that correct?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000058-split-2Yes, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000058-split-3So may we identify precisely what the
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000059ERC does not get if we retain the 944 million level? What kind of software or information technology projects will not proceed? Ano ang naapektuhan dito? Because you lost over 700 million.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000059-split-2Yes, Madam Speaker. ERC has explained that the reduction principally affects MOOE and capital outlay, including funding for rate reset consultancies,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000060ICT modernization and additional case resolution capacity. So ito po yung pinakaapektado, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000060-split-2So in short, especially the rate reset, which is most important when it comes to DUs and transmission, babagal ulit po ang pag-deliver o pagpapabilis ng kanilang reset. Madam Speaker, ito ba yun?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000060-split-3Yes, Madam Speaker. Totally agree.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000060-split-4So in short, let me paraphrase my question.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000061How many more pending CAPEX, OPEX or rate resets for private DUs as well as electric cooperatives?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000064Thank you, Madam Speaker. So, in short, how many years pala yung lag natin dito, especially for the electric cooperatives? Anong year po yung ating dinidinig?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000064-split-2Are we talking about CAPEX?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000064-split-3CAPEX of the electric cooperatives, na since they filed, hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin natatapos.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000065It's about 12 years, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000065-split-2Twelve years? Twelve years, so 2026 minus 12, 2014.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000065-split-32013–2014.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000065-split-4Wow.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000065-split-5The oldest is 2013.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000065-split-6Thank you. You know, the CAPEX, this is the problem, Madam Speaker, distinguished sponsor. As you know, Kong Arne, alam mo naman ito.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000066So, pag na-delay yung mga CAPEX na yan, especially sa mga substation natin, sa mga upgrade natin, tatamaan lahat ng electric cooperatives at doon nasisisi na naman tayo.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000067So, I don't blame Commissioner Bagu-Selito, but it's been there for so long, especially now that your budget has been cut by over 700 million.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000068So, do we expect it's going to be the same thing from previous administration na mabagal pa rin ang pag-approve because of the delay?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000069No, Madam Speaker. Actually, mas bumilis na rin po tayo. Actually, sa 2026, we have 170 CAPEX decisions. We're talking about the decisions.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000070Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000071But, regarding the budget, that's why we are seeking additional, even just additional 200 million for consultancies because we need highly technical people, especially in the computation of the reset.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000072We are just talking about the electric cooperatives, wala pa po yung private, wala pa po yung NGCP.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000073So, if you want to equip ERC for a proper regulation of our trillion.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000074So, in the industry, in the energy sector, we need very able people, highly technical. That's why we are asking actually for 700 million.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000075But, if Congress can give us even just 250 million, ERC will gladly accept it. Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000076Thank you, Madam Speaker. In short, I will translate that, your answer, which is very...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000077Very good, your answer. Actually, no, saludo sa sagot mo. If we translate that in an ordinary layman's word, wala pa rin mangyayari.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000078And we are just talking about the reset.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000079Reset.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000080That's only the reset.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000081Hindi pa po yung iba lang yun.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000082Isa lang po yun sa mga...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000083That's the only thing. Iba pa yung CAPEX, iba pa yung mga OPEX natin dyan. So, again, Madam Speaker, no, tayo, lagi tayo nagre-reklamo sa mga DUs, sa transmission line, even sa ERC na...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000084na mabagal sila. Eh, paano hindi babagal? Eh, kulang yung binibigay natin pondo.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000085But, on the other hand, I remember that Congressman Dogok and I, during one of the deliberation in committee on appropriation,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000086nabigyan kayo, you were allowed to take, if I'm not mistaken, either 500 million or 700 million from your income.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000087Tama ba ako yung tinatawag natin mga...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000088collection nyo from other sources. Am I right?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000089Yes, I think that's the ERC restructuring bill that already passed this chamber.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000090Tama. So, kailan pa nagsimula yun? Is it already collecting?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000091It's still pending action by the Senate. So, dito po sa lower house.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000092Oh, so it's still pending. So, in short, wala pa rin yun.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000093Wala pa rin. Ito po yung mga pinaghirapan po natin.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000094Yeah, drawing pa rin pa rin yun. Anyway, I hope that will be approved at least.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000095Pag na-approve yun...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000096Pag na-approve yun, medyo gaganda na yan. So, let's wait and see, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000097Siguro, Congressman Dagoque and I, pwede rin kami sumunod para makatulong,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000098para malaman din nila na itong ginagawa natin para sa ating bayan.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000099And I will personally support you, Congressman President.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000100Thank you, Kong Arne.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000101Mr. Speaker, Madam Speaker, and of course, Distinguished Spokesman,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000102ERC is also proposing another way of strengthening its resources.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000103ERC requested special provision allowing
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000104it to use portion. Ito yung sinasabi ko, collection [unclear] support the regulatory mandate.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000105Actually, annually natin, nasa...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000106Magkano yung collection nyo annually?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000107Mr. Speaker, in 2025, ERC reported collections of approximately 2.354 billion,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000108more than double its 1.067 billion collection target,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000109and significantly higher than its annual appropriation.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000110Okay, that's a lot of money to collect.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000111I think we made a threshold, ata, no, Commissioner Chairman,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000112na up to 700 million lang ata, regardless how much you collected.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000113I think they were given a cap, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000114Not 50% of the total collection.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000115I think may threshold sila dyan, eh, sa ginagawa.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000116I hope, no, the Senate will act on it para naman matugunan yung problema.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000117Madam Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000118let me now go to what the additional funding is supposed to accomplish.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000119The most obvious example is the rate reset backlog.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000120Yun pinag-usapan natin kanina.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000121ERC itself acknowledged that the distribution rate reset process
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000122for privately owned distribution utilities suffered more than 10 years of delay.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000123Tama ba ito?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000124Yes, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000125Just for the record,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000126and for the information of this body and the public,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000127how does a core regulatory function of the ERC fall more than a decade behind?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000128Isn't it this is your main function?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000129Bakit tayo masyado matagal?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-00013010 years ang inaabot ng reset natin.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000131There were internal problems, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000132That's why I'm with you regarding strengthening the ERC
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000133and making its own charter.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000134Instead of waiting for the amendment of IPIRA,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000135I think we have to make a charter for the ERC,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000136strengthen it, equip them,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000137especially ang binabantayan po.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000138natin ay trillion na industry
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000139with only
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000140the budget of 900 million.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000141So, napakahira po.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000142So, kung gusto natin mabilis
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000143at maganda po yung function ng ERC,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000144I think we have to
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000145restructure.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000146We have to make the charter
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000147of ERC to strengthen
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000148their powers, even
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000149applying the penalties,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000150not only with
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000151employees, but
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000152truly policing
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000153lalo ng ating pong regulation
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000154sa charges sa kuryente.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000155Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000156This is a great sponsor. You know,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000157I'm with you with that. Kung gusto
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000158natin talagang bumilis
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000159at maayos talaga ito, we need more
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000160funding for ERC.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000161But for the meantime,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000162dwelling with the 900
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000163million funds
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000164natin for 2026,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-0001652027, how can
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000166we avoid
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000167yung 10 years na
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000168madesisyonan, despite
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000169the fact na 900 million lang yun?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000170So, anong gagawin natin?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000171So, for example, we have no choice anymore.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000172So, ano yung mga
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000173steps natin gagawin natin? To prove
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000174to them, even with
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000175a meager budget,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000176we can still deliver.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000177Yes, but first,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000178even kung kulang po tayo sa tao,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000179we started with the rules
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000180and actually, if you're asking
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000181about the reset, ang ginawa po
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000182ng ERC is,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000183yung ngayon muna,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000184kasi kung unahin po natin yung reset
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000185ng backlog natin,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000186we won't be able to move forward.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000187So, 2026, nagawa na po natin.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000188So, nandoon na po tayo sa mga backlog.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000189So, implementation na po yun.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000190And nakita niyan po
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000191ang ERC,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000192ang dami na po mga disisyon na lumabas.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000193Even, I know,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000194you're very much well-versed
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000195with the distribution utility.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000196Nakita naman sa electric
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000197cooperatives,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000198nakita naman po natin kung gano'ng
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000199kabilis ang aksyon ng ERC.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000200Pero kung gusto natin, mas bilisan pa.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000201As I've told the Madam Speaker,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000202we have to equip them
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000203with more funds,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000204with more people, with more highly technical
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000205people, para po magampanan nila
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000206yung tungkulin nila sa taong bayan.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000207Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000208This is your sponsor, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000209So, when you talk about the reset,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000210are we in fourth or fifth
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000211regulatory period na?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000212We,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000213we started with the first
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000214regulatory period
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000215under the revised rules, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000216How about the Miraco? Anong regulatory
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000217period na ninyo sinimula?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000218I think we're still first.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000219I thought we skipped.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000220The last time, I thought they were already
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000221either fourth or fifth na sila.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000222We restarted with
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000223the first
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000224regulatory period, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000225Won't it be too late?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000226I thought, I think one of
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000227them vividly.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000228I agree with the Congressman Presti.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000229But we are in this situation
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000230and kahit po
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000231konti po yung taon ng ERC,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000232mas masabi ko po na ating
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000233chairman ay talagang po nagtatrabaho
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000234and in fact,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000235pinapagalitan na po ng asawa niya
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000236even Sunday nandun po sa opisina.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000237Minsan ka nakakatulog na po sa banyo
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000238para po lang matapos
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000239ang mga gawain sa ERC.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000240So, in short,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000241we went back to
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000242first regulatory period,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000243first RG pa lang.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000244And then, how long is it going to take?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000245Proving 2026.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000246Okay, 2026.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000247To 2029.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000248Okay.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000249Thank you.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000250Under the new rules,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000251I mean, the reset,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000252what is the present status
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000253of the rate reset cases for the youth?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000254Ito na yung sinasabi mo kanina.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000255Yes.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000256Actually, we have decided already
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000257for the first entry group,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000258the ERC has already issued
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000259a final decision
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000260on the Cotabato Light
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000261first cigarette.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000262So, it's a regulatory period application.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000263The ERC also has resolved

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000391The same problem
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000392of regulatory delay
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000393is even more consequential
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000394when we move
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000395from distribution
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000396to transmission.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000397My question is,

asr-000398in fact,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000399the reset of the fifth

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000409Is this correct?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000410Yes, absolutely correct.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000411So, but you're still
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000602that has not yet delivered
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000604Well,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000605this is a view
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000606is done by ERC
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000607during
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000608regulatory resets.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000609So, it again
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000610underscores the significance
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000611of
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000612the timeliness
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000613on the conduct
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000614of the rate review,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000615which is linked
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000616to budget needed
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000617by ERC
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000618to complete this.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000619Thank you,

asr-000620Madam Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000621Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000622I'll move to the next topic.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000623The Regional Secondary
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000624Price Cup.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000625Madam Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000626Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000627on September 10,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-0006282026,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000629ERC ordered
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000630the regional application
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000631of the Secondary Price Cup
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000632for the Visayas
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000633and Mindanao
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000634retroactive
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000635to the
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000636August 2026
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000637billing period.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000638Why was the previous
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000639nationwide calculation
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000640inadequate?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000641Under the
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000642previous
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000643system-wide application,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000644lower West End prices
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000645in Luzon
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000646could pull down
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000647the nationwide
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000648rolling average
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000649even when prices
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000650in the Visayas
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000651or Mindanao
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000652were exceptionally high.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000653As a result,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000654the trigger
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000655for the Secondary Price Cup
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000656might not be reached
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000657despite extreme conditions
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000658within an individual grid.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000659The new approach
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000660applies
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000661the safeguard
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000662on a regional basis
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000663so that
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000664consumers
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000665in the affected grid
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000666are protected
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000667from prolonged
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000668regional price spikes.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000669Thank you,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000670Madam Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000671Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000672I have a question.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000673So, in effect,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000674Luzon's
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000675relatively normal prices
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000676could previously
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000677mask
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000678a serious price problem
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000679in the Visayas
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000680or Mindanao?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000681Yes, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000682Why did it take
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000683the extraordinary
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000684price spikes
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000685of 2026
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000686before this weakness
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000687in the mechanism
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000688was corrected?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000689Well,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000690there are many variables
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000691that the vulnerability
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000692in the market
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000693design
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000694remained latent
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000695because
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000696system-wide averaging
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000697had historical
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000698functioned
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000699without severe
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000700simultaneous
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000701decoupling
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000702across the island grids.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000703It required
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000704an unprecedented crisis
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000705such as the intense
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000706supply tightness
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000707and red and yellow alerts
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000708logged in August 2026
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000709to expose
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000710how heavily
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000711lower Luzon
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000712rates
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000713were diluting
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000714the national average
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000715prompting the ERC.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000716To act
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000717motopropio
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000718under its
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000719oversight
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000720...
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000721powers to close
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000722the regulatory gap.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000723So following the implementation
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000724of the system wide rolling average,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000725the SPC was triggered for the
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000726following number of intervals.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000727So I have here
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000728Madam Speaker,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000729the billing, the month,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000730John Visayas Mindanao, I would like
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000731to submit to the
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000732good gentleman. And
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000733after that, and when the regional
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000734SPC was implemented,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000735the following table
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000736shows a significant higher number
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000737of intervals. The CPT
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000738was breached. So once again,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000739I would like to submit the table
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000740since from starting January
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000741to August of John Visayas
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000742and Mindanao.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000743So the regional
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000744application for the
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000745secondary price cap is subject
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000746to weekly monitoring
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000747by the ERC in coordination
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000748with the IMAP.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000749Once
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000750market and system conditions
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000751improve, such as
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000752when the extreme
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000753price divergence and
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000754decoupling across the island grids
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000755subside, and the regional
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000756rolling average prices return
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000757to normal parameters,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000758the Commission will issue an order
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000759to restore the standard
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000760system wide application
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000761of the SPC.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000762Madam Speaker, this is
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000763Mr. Sponsor. What determines the
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000764regional price cap
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000765to be lifted?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000766Can you
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000767speak louder?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000768What determines
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000769when the regional price cap
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000770will be lifted?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000771For now,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000772it is temporary. It depends
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000773on the condition.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000774So we're looking
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000775into it. We're working
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000776hard
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000777to make it permanent, Madam
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000778Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000779Thank you, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000780Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000781A price cap can protect consumers
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000782during extraordinary
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000783conditions, but it should
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000784not substitute indefinitely
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000785for fixing the underlying
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000786generation and transmission
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000787constraints.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000788Is that right?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000789Yes, actually, that is right.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000790So while the
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000791secondary, while the regional
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000792secondary price cap,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000793provides immediate relief
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000794by capping prices during
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000795sustained tight supply.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000796Long-term consumer
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000797protection ultimately depends
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000798on expediting delayed
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000799transmission backbone projects
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000800such as the Mindanao-Visayas
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000801Interconnection Project
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000802MVIP,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000803enhancement and Cebu-Negros-Panay
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000804upgrades alongside
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000805fast-tracking the new baseload
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000806and renewable capacities
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000807to address the root cause of
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000808regional supply deficits.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000809Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000810Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000811The rate spike that triggered
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000812the secondary price cap was
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000813caused by multiple
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000814simultaneous forced
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000815outages in the
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000816Visayas and Mindanao.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000817What direct jurisdiction does ERC
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000818have over a generating
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000819plan that repeatedly
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000820fails to remain available?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000821Yes,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000822thank you.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000823For that question,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000824ERC regulates generation
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000825companies under IPIRA,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000826including the issuance and
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000827enforcement of certificate of
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000828compliance and compliance with
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000829applicable technical and market
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000830requirements as contained in
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000831the terms and conditions of
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000832the COC issued,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000833the ERC sets allowable equivalent
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000834unplanned outage,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000835days per year,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000836per technology.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000837Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000838For my last question,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000839Madam Speaker, if you allow me.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000840Last question.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-000841Very briefly, if you will allow,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-000842Your Honor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000843Madam Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000844ERC recently revised the rules
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000845governing allowable unplanned
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000846outages of power plants
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000847under Resolution No. 23
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000848Series of 2026.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000849ERC adopted new technology
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000850specific limits
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000851on equivalent unplanned outage
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000852outage days.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000853Why did the previous reliability
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000854standards have to be revised?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000855Yes, sir.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000856Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000857ERC determined that
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000858the benchmark needed
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000859to be updated
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000860and reflect more decent
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000861actual operating experience
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000862and differences among
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000863generation technologies.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000864The new rules establish technology
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000865specific allowable equivalent
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000866unplanned outage days
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000867require adherence to planned
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000868maintenance schedules
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000869and post maintenance reports
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000870and provide for compliance
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000871plans and administrative
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000872sanctions for persistent
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000873non-compliance.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000874The old rules of interim
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000875reliability rules
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000876were established using a
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000877five-year performance data
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000878covering 2,000
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-00087915 to 2019.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000880So now, the revised rules
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000881use 10 years
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000882performance data from
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-0008832015 to
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-0008842024.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000885Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000886Again, Madam Speaker, that will be my last
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000887question. I fully
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000888support
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000891lahat, lalo ang
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000892presyo ng ating kuryente, I think
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000893we can start with the ERC
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000894para mapabilis po, not only
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000895the reset, the capex and other
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000911Congressman Arne Pentevelia,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000912ang mga tanong ko po,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000913it will be mostly about the
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000914system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000915About the system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000916Alam niyo po, yung system loss has been
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000917my advocacy since
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000918my first time in Congress in 2010.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000919Tatlong beses po ako nag-file ng bill tungkol sa
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000920system loss, 2010, 2013,

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000925system loss. Ay tuwang-tuwa po ako.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000926Ngayon, my first
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000927question addressed to the ERC
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000928is
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000929yung VAT on system loss,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000930is the relief already
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000931reaching the consumers? Nararamdaman na po ba
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000932ito ng ating mga consumers?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000933Madam Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000934Madam Speaker,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000935the resolution was already out
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000936this September.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000937The implementation
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000938will be
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000939by
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000940the October billing.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000941Siguro po by October,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000942mararamdaman na po yan.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000943Lalo na talaga pong
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000944dapat po hindi i-VAT
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000945ang system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000946Maraming salamat po, dear colleague.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000947Pangalawa po. So I may add, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000948hindi lang po resolution ng ERC
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000949and even BIR.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000950Maraming salamat po, dear colleague.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000951Pangalawa po, diba po
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000952ang system loss ay sinasabi po nila
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000953ay dalawa po.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000954Yung technical at yung non-technical.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000955Yes.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000956Punahin po muna natin yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000957yung non-technical, no?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000958Yung pilferage and all these things.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000959Possibly po ba
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000960na
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000961Possibly po ba
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000962na gumawa na lang
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000963ang ERC na resolution
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000964para tanggalin na yung non-technical
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000965system loss?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000966O talagang iintayin pa yung batas
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000967na ipapasa ng Kongreso?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000968Yes, thank you for that, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000969Actually, that is the resolution already
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000970na ginawa po ng
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000971ERC.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000972It's for the non-technical.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000973But,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000974yun sa non-technical, we are studying
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000975lowering the cap kasi po
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000976may threshold po yan.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000977Non-technical po rin natin, no?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000978So, regarding
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000979sa VAT, dapat tanggalin.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000980But, we are studying yung
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000981threshold. How
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-000982we can lower the cap.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000983Madam Speaker, dear
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000984colleague, ang intindi ko po kasi
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000985doon sa mensahe ng Pangulo
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000986is tanggalin.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000987Tanggalin means zero
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000988technical loss, no? For both
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000989technical and non-technicals.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000990Pero, since yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000991non-technical,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000992kaya namang pigilan.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000993Diba? Kaya naman ma-prevent.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000994Posible ba
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000995na gumawa na lang yung ERC
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000996ng resolution
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000997para hindi na makolekta
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000998yung non-technical system loss?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-000999O kailangan po ba talaga
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001000na indayin muna
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001001yung batas na ipapasa ng Kongreso
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001002bago po
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001003mapigilan yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001004pagsingil ng non-technical
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001005system loss?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001005-split-2No need for
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001006law, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001007Yes, you can do it.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001008So, that is very good news. So, kailan po
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001009maipapatupad ng ERC
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001010na tanggalin yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001011non-technical system loss?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001012Yes, hindi lang po kasi
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001013ganung kadali, just to implement.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001014We have to be
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001015in touch also with
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001016the policy of
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001017DOE. So,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001018actually yung ginagawa po natin na
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001019by October doon lang po sa billing
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001020na lalo na tanggalin na
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001021yung bag-EVAT, yung
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001022system loss, ay napakabilis
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001023na po nung ginagawa ng ERC.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001024But it's very complex.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001025It's not so easy, especially
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001026when we talk about the technical aspect.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001027Dito lang po tayo
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001028nag-uusap sa non-technical.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001029But pinag-uusapan rin po ng
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001030DOE and ERC
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001031kung paano babantayan po ang BIR.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001032Because iba-iba pong
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001033electric cooperative, iba-iba rin po
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001034yung threshold. Iba po yung
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001035sa Meralco, iba po yung sa
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001036Casureco IV, iba po
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001037yung sa Mindanao. So,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001038there should be a
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001039composite team between
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001040the DOE policy making,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001041ERC, and even
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001042the BIR. So, medyo
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001043yun po ang medyo pinupulido
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001044pa natin. But definitely,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001045bababa po by computation
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001046is about 20 pesos
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001047per, I think, per month.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001048That's for
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001049the system loss. Dahil po,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001050tatanggalin po sa VAT.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001051Madam Speaker.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001052Yes, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001053Tama po, naiintindihan ko po yun sa VAT.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001054Ang tanong ko lang po ngayon is concentrated
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001055on the system loss itself.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001056So, kung pwede po yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001057ERC na gumawa ng resolution
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001058at tatanggalin
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001059na yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001060non-technical,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001061purely non-technical,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001062Madam Speaker, purely non-technical
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001063system loss ay tatanggalin
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001064na, kailan po ito
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001065na i-implement ng ERC?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001066Are we talking
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001067about, Madam Speaker, just for clarification
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001068lang, are we talking about the CAP or
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001069the VAT?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001070Hindi. Ang pinag-uusapan natin dito is
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001071yung non-technical system loss
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001072na gagawing zero.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001073Gagawing zero. Kasi ang sabi po ng
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001074Presidente is, wala na.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001075So, kung wala na, ang ibig sabihin po
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001076nun ay zero.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001077So, yun po ang tanong ko, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001078Yes, thank you for that. We're still
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001079studying
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001080Madam Speaker, in
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001081coordination with DOE,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001082kung zero CAP
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001083ang ipapataw po natin for
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001084the non-technical,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001085at saka kung kailan po. So,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001086it's still a work in progress,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001087Madam Speaker.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001088Yes, Madam Speaker. Pero kahit po
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001089work in progress, sana naman may timetable.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001090Diba? Dahil tayo pong
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001091tapong gobyerno, dapat po
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001092pag sinabi natin doon sa ating
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001093mga kababayan, alam po nila
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001094hanggang kailan po sila maging intay.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001095Actually, regarding, I truly understand
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001096and I truly agree with
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001097Congressman Tobichanko, na kailangan po talaga
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001098may timetable, hindi lang po puro pangako
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001099po ito. But nakita naman po natin
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001100yung aksyon kaagad ng ERC
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001101and even ng BIR. But iba po
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001102kasi yung VAT
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001103na pinag-uusapan, iba rin po yung CAP.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001104So, actually,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001105sa buong mundo po, sa buong
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001106nasyon, buong mundo,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001107I think,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001108I think, first time po ito
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001109na Pilipinas
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001110lang ang
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001111hindi magbabayad ng system loss. And just to
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001112clarify, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001113kasi hindi po ganong naintindihan
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001114ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001115Ang system loss po ay
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001116parang halimbawa,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001117bumili po tayo ng tela
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001118ng barong. Sinukat
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001119po sa inyo.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001120Siyempre po, may natanggal.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001121Pero binayaran mo yung buo.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001122So, ganito po rin,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001123sa system loss. But,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001124we fully understand the direction
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001125of the President. That's why
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001126ERC
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001127and even DOE are
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001128working on it. They're
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001129working hard.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001130Medyo tayo lang po ito.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001131Kinukonsiderin natin yung
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001132financial viability
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001133ng mga DUs. Because we have
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001134private and we have electric
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001135cooperatives. And alam na po natin ang
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001136electric cooperatives ay
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001137non-profit. So,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001138kung mag-upgrade po sila
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001139ng kanyang niya, poste,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001140transformer, saan po sila
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001141kukuha ng kanila pong
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001142kapital? So, ito po yung mga
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001143kinukonsider po natin bago po
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001144natin fully ma-implement
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001145ang inuutos po ng ating
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001146pag-removal ng cap ng ating system
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001147sauce sa non-technical pasa.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001148Yes po. Madam Speaker,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001149dear colleague, pasensya na po.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001150Dear colleague, I cannot agree on the
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001151analogy doon sa tela.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001152Kasi po ang tela, pag bumili
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001153tayo ng 2.5 meters na tela
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001154at ginawa natin barong, hindi
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001155nasa talaga 2.5 meters. Agree po ako
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001156doon. Pero ang magbabayad
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001157doon sa nawalang tela is mismo
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001158sino yung nagpagawa ng barong.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001159Pero yung system loss po kasi,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001160iba po ito.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001161Ang nangyayari, as sa tingin ko, the proper analogy of the system loss is,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001162tayong lahat dito, kumain tayo sa restaurant.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001163Merong hindi nagbayad, pumuslit, so nanakawan.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001164Ang system loss, ang nangyayari, kung sino yung natira dito,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001165sila yung maghahati-hating bayaran yung kinain nung hindi nagbayad sa restaurant.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001166Kasi ganun po yun, yung system loss, sinisingil doon sa mga nagbabayad,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001167hindi po sinisingil doon sa hindi nagbayad.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001168Sa tumatakas.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001169Yes, totally agree.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001170Okay, anyway, I will concentrate on the, all my questions will be about the non-technical system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001171Yung technical system loss, hindi naman po ako magaling sa technical, so hindi po ako magtatanong.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001172Pero yung non-technical system loss, pinakamalaki dyan ay tungkol doon sa pilferage, tama po ba?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001173Yes, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001174So kung pilferage yan, hindi...
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001175Ang isang malaking dahilan ng pilferage,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001176is minsan kasi, for example, ang experience ko sa Meralco,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001177I cannot speak about electrical cooperatives, no?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001178Napipilitan, hindi ko naman tinotolerate,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001179pero pag ang isang bahay, hindi nila kinabitan ng kuryente,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001180dahil yung bahay na yun ay informal settler,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001181hindi naman mabubuhay yung tao na walang kuryente.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001182Okay.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001183So ang gagawin ng taong yun is,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001184malamang magja-jumper.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001185At yun ang magiging pilferage, at yun ang magiging system loss na sinisingil sa atin.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001186Kasi dalawa lang yun, either bumili sa ilan ng submitter,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001187siyempre mas mahal yun, di ba?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001188Papatong yung may mother meter,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001189o magja-jumper sila.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001190So hindi lang system loss ang problema dito, it's also a fire hazard, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001191Ngayon, ang requirement kasi ng Meralco is,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001192dapat mag-present ng titulo, o dapat may consent ng owner.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001193Siyempre, yung may-ari na privado,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001194hindi rin po siya papayag magbigay ng consent,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001195kasi kadalasan, gusto nilang paalisin yung informal settler.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001196So para mapilitan pumalis yung informal settler,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001197hindi nila bibigyan ng right of way, di ba?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001198O ng authorization.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001199Sa gobyerno, mas simple, kasi kami, sa Navotas, practical po kami.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001200Pag government land po yan, binibigyan namin ng authority na makapagkabit.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001201Dahil alam namin na hindi sila mabubuhay ng walang kuryente,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001202at magiging fire hazard kung magja-jumper sila.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001203So ngayon, ang proposal ko noon, noon pong budget briefing,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001204sabi ko, dapat baguhin ng ERC yung requirement.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001205Huwag na nilang hingan ng right of way o authority nung private land owner po,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001206kasi hindi naman magbibigay yung private land owner.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001207But yung pagbigay naman ng kuryente, kasi madam speaker, dear colleague,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001208sana po maintindihan nyo, di ba?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001209Pag may informal settler, madalas nag-aaway yung informal settler,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001210tsaka yung may-ari ng lupa.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001211So natural, hindi magbibigay ng authority o ng consent yung may-ari ng lupa.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001212So ang sabi ko noon, hindi ba dapat ang gawin ng ERC dyan is huwag na i-require yung titulo,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001213huwag na i-require yung consent para lahat makabitan.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001214Pag lahat kinakabitan, wala na silang dahilan kung bakit sila nagja-jumper.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001215Yun po ang tanong ko po, madam speaker, dear colleague.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001216Yes, madam speaker, that's a very good observation.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001217And I'm happy.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001218I'm happy to tell our good colleague that in amend na po yung ERC,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001219ang magna-karta, September 10, pinadali na po ito.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001220So hindi na po kailangan ng titulo.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001221Ang kailangan nila po, kahit certification po ng barangay captain,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001222na ikaw po talagang taga dyan, residente dyan.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001223So yun na po yung pinapasunod ng anti-ERC sa mga de-use natin po.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001224So September 10, 2026 po naging effective.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001225Ito po, September 10 pa lang po.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001226So salamat po.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001227Anong sa committee ay nagawa na po ng formal na aksyon?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001228Yes.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001229Okay.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001230Ang sunod ko pong tanong is,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001231pag ang isang bahay, nahulihan na nag-jumper,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001232dinidemanda po yan ng Meralco, tama?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001233Yes, they should.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001234Okay.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001235Ang gagamitin ng Meralco na computation doon sa sisingilin nila
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001236is titignan lahat ng appliances,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001237tapos ikukumpute yun, yun ang sisingilin doon sa nag-jumper.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001238Pero, Madam Speaker, Dear Colleague,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001239itong sinisingil nila doon sa nag-jumper ay nasingil na rin nila as system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001240So hindi ba doble singil yun?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001241Pag nakolektahan nila yung nag-jumper,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001242papaanong ino-audit ng ERC na i-bawas yun naman doon sa siningil as system loss?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001243Ay, liliwanagin.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001244I-bawas yun po ulit, di ba, Madam Speaker?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001245Are you talking about the pilferage recovery loss?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001246Hindi, di ba po?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001247Yung lahat ng total ng pilferage, yun po ang non-technical system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001248So, total yan, yun po ang i-charge sa mga consumers na system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001249Pero may cap, di ba?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001250Yes.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001251May cap.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001252So, portion of that, na-recover din nung utility.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001253Tama po.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001254Yes.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001255Portion na-recover niya as system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001256Ngayon, dinimanda po niya yung, at nahulihan nila ng jumper.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001257Kung nagbayad po yung dinimanda nila, naka-recover din sila ng pera.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001258So, papaanong ina-account at minomonitor ng ERC na yung nakolekta ng system loss ay binawas?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001260Doon.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001261Kasi otherwise, magiging doble bayad yan.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001262Yes.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001263So, dapat doon sa susunod na system loss, make a credit.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001264For example, for example lang, para lang magbigay tayo ng figure.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001265For example, may nawalang kuryente.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001266Nakasigil yung ERC ng, nakasigil yung electric utility ng limang piso.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001267Limang piso.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001268Dahil 5% ang cap, di ba?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001269For example, limang piso nakolekta dahil 5% yung cap.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001270Later on,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001271kinumpute nila,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001272later on po, kinumpute nila yung sisingilin doon sa nag-jumper.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001273At ang nakumpute nilang sisingilin ay 100 piso.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001274Pag hindi nila binawas yung limang pisong unang nakolekta,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001275ibig sabihin, 105 ang total na nakolekta nila instead of 100 pesos.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001276So, yung system loss na nakolekta,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001277papaano namang ibabawas, paano sinisigurado ng ERC
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001278na ibabawas naman doon sa system loss na kukolektahin sa susunod
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001279noong electrical utility?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001280Yun po.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001281Yes, may formula po yan, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001282regarding the rebate.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001283Pag parang nag-overcharge,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001284kailangan po ibalik sa ating consumer.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001285Ang ginagamit po ng ERC,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001286sa pagkakulit yung generation charge,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001287less the pilferage recovery
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001288na monthly po,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001289nagsasubmit ang lahat ng mga distribution,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001290utility ng report sa ERC.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001291Okay.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001292Panguling tanong na lang po, Madam Speaker, dear colleague.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001293Pwede po bang magbigay ng assurance ang ERC
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001294na bago magkarood ng rate increase sa kuryente,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001295ay maresolva muna yung system loss ng non-technical?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001296Kasi po, ang hirap tanggapin ng consumer, di ba?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001297Nangako ang Pangulo na tatanggalin yung system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001298Hindi pa natatanggal yung system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001299Tataasan na natin ng kuryente,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001300magkakaroon ulit ng rate increase
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001301yung mga consumer.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001302So, instead na inaasahan nila bumaba yung bill nila,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001303tataas pa.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001304So, ang tanong ko,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001305pwede bang hold muna
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001306ang kahit anong increase
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001307habang
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001308hindi pa natatapos
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001309yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001310pagtanggal ng system loss
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001311para at least naman kampante yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001312ating mga kababayan na seryoso.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001313So, talaga tayong tulungan sila.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001314I totally agree, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001315But,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001316we are committed.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001317But, regarding the timetable,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001318ang pinaka problema nila po talaga ngayon
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001319ay yung cap,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001320yung threshold.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001321Kung isisiro ba natin
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001322or how do we lower it down?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001323But, regarding sa billing po,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001324nagawa na po yan ng paraan.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001325And, actually, by October.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001326So, regarding the commitment,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001327ERC is very much committed.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001328But,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001329yung suggestion nyo po
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001330na bago tumahas yung ibang rates,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001331tapusin muna po ito.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001332Marami po kasing factors
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001333na kailangan natin i-consider.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001334Hindi lang po yan sa system loss,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001335generation charge,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001336transmission charge, etc.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001337Pakalawak po ng
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001338binabantayan ng ERC.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001339So, I don't want to
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001340I don't want to
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001341answer directly
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001342if I may
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001343because
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001344medyo mahirap po.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001345But, we are doing it
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001346regarding the timetable.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001347Actually, I'm just
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001348talking to our chairman.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001349And, hindi lang po kasi siya.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001350Even po, DOE.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001351Kailangan rin po dito.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001352Sana po, by
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001353the end of the year,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001354malinaw na malinaw na
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001355zero cap ba?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001356Baba ba ng
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001357mas bababaan ba yung threshold ng cap?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001358Or, totally, kaya bang
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001359tanggalin
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001360ang ating threshold?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001361Pagkatapos yung
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001362system loss
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001363on the non-technical aspect?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001364Madam Speaker, dear colleague,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001365kaya ako po hiningi naman
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001366na huwag muna magtaas
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001367hanggat hindi pa tapos yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001368yung pagtanggal
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001369ng system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001370Eh, dahil nga, hindi po makapag-commit yung ERC
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001371kung kailan
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001372tatanggalin yung non-technical system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001373But, if they will
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001374commit na wala mo
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001375ng taasan
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001376bago tapusin yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001377pagtanggal ng
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001378non-technical system loss,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001379then lalo nilang
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001380mamadaliin. Kasi,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001381Madam Speaker, dear colleague,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001382ang sabi lang naman is,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001383pag-uusapan noong mga
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001384ibat-ibang ahensya, eh, diba?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001385So, kung pag-uusapan, pwede namang
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001386ang problema po, Madam Speaker, dear colleague,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001387ang pag-uusap pwedeng matagal,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001388pwedeng mabilis.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001389So, gusto lang natin
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001390na masigurado
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001391na binibilisan yung pag-uusap.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001392Kung magbibigay sila po
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001393ng commitment na wala mo
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001394ng taasan
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001395kung hindi pa natatanggal yung systems
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001396loss, then at least may assurance
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001397yung ating mga kababayan
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001398na
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001399hindi tataas yung kuryente.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001400I hope you understand, Madam Speaker, dear colleague.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001401Sa hirap po ng buhay
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001402ngayon, tapos tumataas yung fuel,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001403tapos kakabahan na
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001404naman yung ating mga kababayan,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001405ang hirap po nung sitwasyon nila. So, yun lang po
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001406ang pinagagalingan nung aking
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001407request, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001408Actually, I totally agree
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001409with Congressman Toby Chanko.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001410But we have to consider a lot.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001411Even the distribution utilities.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001412Yung mga electric
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001413co-ops na non-profit
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001414po sila. Ano po ba kaya
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001415ang epekto po nito
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001416sa ating mga
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001417electric co-ops?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001418Siguro po, private kaya kasi profit
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001419oriented sila. But the co-ops
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001420po, so
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001421kung ang ERC lang po magdi-decision,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001422kaya pong gawin yan. But we still
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001423have to consult even
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001424our distribution utilities,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001425Madam Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001426But
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001427by the end of the year,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001428kakayanin po natin,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001429siguro po, kaya na natin masagot
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001430lahat kung mababa ba yung cap,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001431zero ba yung cap. Basta tingin ko, mas magiging
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001432clearer po sa atin.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001433Regarding on the non-technical aspect.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001434Doon lang po tayo.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001435Ang worry lang po talaga namin
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001436ang mga electric cooperative.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001437Yes, Madam Speaker, dear colleague.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001438Talagang doon lang po tayo nakafocus sa
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001439non-technical system loss.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001440Ngayon, kasi naintindihan ko po na yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001441mga electrical cooperatives
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001442ay non-profit.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001443O ganito na lang po, Madam
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001444Speaker, dear colleague. Pwede po ba
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001445tanong natin kay Chairman
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001446kung yun doon sa
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001447corporate
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001448distribution utilities,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001449kahit doon lang, pwede ba tayo magbigay
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001450ng date kung kailan
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001451natin
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001452matatanggal yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001453system loss? Kung hindi po kayang magbigay
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001454ng date,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001455Madam Speaker, dear colleague,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001456at least, kahit doon lang
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001457sa distribution
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-001458utilities, makapag-commit
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-001492-split-2Thank you very much, Congressman
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-001493Toby Chanko. Majority Leader?
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-001494Madam Speaker, may we recognize
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-001495Representative Elago for her
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-001496interpellation.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-001497Honorable Elago is recognized for interpellation.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001498Maraming salamat Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001499Ilang dagdag na katanungan na lang na paglilinaw dahil po napakayaman na ng naging talakayan ng ating mga naunang interpellators.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001500Ngayon naman po, nabanggit kanina ng ating sponsor ang tungkol sa pending application ng Meralco para sa rate reset,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001501kung saan humihingi sila ng approval para sa revenue requirement na humigit kumulang P532.13 billion na sisingilin sa mga consumer mula taong 2027 hanggang 2030.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001502Para sa 2027, ang proposed maximum average price ng Meralco ay nasa P2.3436 per kilowatt hour mula sa P1.35 per kilowatt hour.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001503Nabanggit din po kanina ang update dito ay,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001504bago magtapos ang taong 2026 ay magkakaroon na ng formal na desisyon dito ang ERC.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001505Ngunit Madam Speaker, noong February 2026, sa mga pahayag ng ERC,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001506balak po nila o yung target sana nila na matapos ito, magkaroon ng formal na desisyon, ay nasa August to September this year.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001507Maari po bang malaman kung ano yung mga dahilan?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001508Kung bakit po?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001509Ngayon, sinasabi na natin na hindi na kaya ng August-September ang formal desisyon at mga nga ilangan pa ng mas mahabang oras ang ERC,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001510bagamat ang target ninyo ay matapos na ito bago ang taong 2026.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001511Dahil po malaki yung application, marami pong CAPEX application,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001512at saka yung mga assets yung po ng Meralco na nirefile,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001513so we need to verify, we have to be very prudent also, we have to follow the process.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001514But the process usually 18 months, but now sinorten natin na into 8 months.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001515So ganun po yung mga reforma na ginawa po ng ERC.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001516Kaya kung makikita niya po yung mga desisyon ng ERC, simula po na umupo ang ating pong chairman,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001517comparing to the...
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001518In the past, marami na pong nagawa, pero kulang, kulang pa.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001519Kailangan ng tulong, kailangan po ng tulong.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001520Kailangan ng additional budget, sobrang kailangan po ng additional budget.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001521Madam Speaker, at tungkol naman din sa isa, sa mga sinisingil at pinapasa ng mga consumer,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001522ay tungkol sa naaprubahan nitong August 2026 na provisional increase ng feed and tariff allowance.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001523O ng fit all, mula 0.2011 peso tungo sa 0.3359 per kilowatt hour, o 67% na increase.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001524Dahil ayon sa kanila, sa liquidity problem ng fit all fund, para sa isang household na gumagamit ng 200 kilowatt hour kada buwan,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001525ito po ay nasa humigit kumulang, 67.18 pesos sa kanilang mga bela.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001526Ang original application...
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001527Ang original application ng Transco ay nasa 0.2154 lamang per kilowatt hour,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001528pero ang provisional rate na naaprubahan ng ERC ay nasa 0.3359 per kilowatt hour.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001529Ito po ay mas mataas, mas malaki, kaysa dun sa hiningi mismo ng Transco.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001530Ano ba ang naging batayan para maging 0.3359 ang provisional rate na naaprubahan ng ERC?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001531Madam Speaker,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001532From the original, Madam Speaker, may hiningi silang additional, kasi may shortfall na nga po na nakita sa fit all fund.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001533And this also to help, lalo ng ating pong mga REs.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001534But ito po yung talagang reason, fit all collection was suspended December 2022 until January 2024.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001535Delays in the...
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001536Approval of fit all to update the rates when it resumed collection.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-0015372024, fit all was only approved March 2024.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001538And 2025, fit all was only approved November 2025.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001539As of August, 356 million of payable outstanding.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001540By December, this will be fully paid, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001541Madam Speaker,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001542Madam Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, hingi na lang po natin yung detalye ng mga bilang, lalo-lalo na.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001543Marami po talagang delay yung mga action dati, so ngayon po talaga nag-ahabol po tayo.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001544Pero maganda lang pong ginawa, instead of yung backlog yung ayusin, ayusin mo po na natin yung now.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001545Pag natapos po yung ngayon, balikan po natin yung mga backlogs po natin.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001546Ang buong fit all collections, ang ulat dito ay hinihingi ng representasyon na ito mula po sa ERC.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001547Yes, we will...
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001548Submit, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001549At ganoon din po, nababahala tayo dahil ang bumapasan nito ay mga consumer.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001550Kaya kumbaga, sa ngayon ba pinag-aaralan po ng ERC, yung posible na pagtatanggal nito?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001551At pagtatanggal nito sa pasanin ng mga consumer at paghahanap ng iba pong source ng funding?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001552Yes, truly agree.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001553That's why we do the reset.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001554We really need to do the reset.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001555It's a means of...
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001556accountability and even transparency.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001557Lalo na sa pag-apply po ng rates na po nagsimulayan sa CAPEX.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001558So, yan nga po, inabutan lang po tayo ng circumstance ng ganito.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001559But, hindi po magandang rason na dahil po marami pong backlog noon.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001560But you can see, ERC is working on it already.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001561Sa katunayan, Madam Speaker, nitong July 2026,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001562naghahain ang representasyon na ito ng isang panukalang resolusyon.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001563Ito ang pilang 1189.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001564At ang panawagan nga po natin ay maimbestigahan, makita, kung ano ba yung status ng collection,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001565kumusta ba yung pinagkakagastusan, at ano-ano ba yung iba't-ibang mga fees na sinisingil,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001566na pinapasan ng ating mga consumer dahil sa mga ulat, halimbawa po ng overbilling,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001567mga hindi tama na meter readings,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001568ganun din po ang sobrang-sobrang taas na na singilin sa kuryente.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001569Hindi pa po ito nasisimulan na matalakay dito sa Kongreso at hanggang natin na matalakay na agad
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001570para mabusisi natin yung haba ng listahan ng mga pinapasan at binabalikat ng ating mga consumer.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001571Saan ba talaga napupunta?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001572At kung paano pa natin ito mababawasan, paano natin matitiyak ang murang kuryente,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001573ang tunay na murang kuryente.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001574Ngayon ho,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001575tungkol doon sa mga nabanggit ko ng mga reports,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001576may sinumiti na status of consumer complaints report ang ERC sa ating pong representasyon
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001577at sinabi nila na mula 2001 hanggang 2026,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001578umabot ng 3,093 ang complaints na nasa decided, closed, at terminated category.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-00157981% ng mga total complaints na matanggap ng ERC.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001580ay nasabi nga po na decided, closed, at terminated na.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001581Maari ba natin malaman kung ano ang mga considerations na sineset ng ERC
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001582para masabi na closed, at terminated na ang isang complaint?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001583On the average, gano po ba katagal ang inaabot ng isang complaint
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001584para mapagdesisyonan na closed at terminated na ito?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001585So, marami pong factors yan.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001586Depende po yan sa complaint.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001587Sa complainant.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001588Kung na-settle ba po ba yung kanyang complaint, yung kanyang issues.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001589Nagkaroon ba ng recalculation doon sa differential billing or disputed billing?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001590So, marami pong factors, Madam Speaker, hindi lang po yung isa.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001591Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001592At nakalatag din sa submission ng ERC na minumungkahin nila ang iba't ibang measures para ma-expedite
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001593ang resolution ng mga consumer complaints.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001594Saan po naibase ng ERC ang mga mungkahe sa prosesong ito?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001595Nagkaroon po ba ng assessment, consultation, kasama ang mga distribution utilities, consumer,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001596pagdating sa paghahandle ng mga complaints bago buuin ang mga recommended measures na ito?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001597Basically, hindi po kailangan niyong magkaroon ng consultation.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001598Trabaho po mismo ng ERC na mag-regulate.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001599Ang ginawa lang po ng ERC, paano ba natin papaiksiin yung time frame?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001600Huwag natin patagalin, lalo na sa paggawa po ng mga desisyon ng mga complaints ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001601Nabanggit niyo kanina yung mga kakulangan pagdating sa personnel na kasama natin sa pagtitiyak ng mahigpit, malakas na regulasyon.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001602Maari ba kayong magbigay ng detalye tungkol dito?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001603Well, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001604highly technical po ang kailangan po natin, even sa mga computations.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001605Hindi lang po isang CPA, kaya po yan.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001606So, medyo highly technical po ang pagdating sa kuryente.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001607We have to balance yung transformer, yung line, yung poste, from genco to transmission to DU to consumers, pilferage, etc.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001608So, we need highly technical people to do it.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001609And we need also na maging maganda rin po yung sweldo po nila.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001610Dahil aminsan ang nangyari, na-train na po ng ERC,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001611pero pag may dumating na isang private company na mas maganda yung offer,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001612na napapirate pa po yung ating mga magagaling na tao.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001613So, you just imagine,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001614ang ERC po ay binabantayan trillion of peso industry,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001615pero ang pambantay mo, ang pulis mo, 900 million lamang.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001616So, ganun po kahirap yung dinadaanan ng ERC.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001617If Congress and even Senate, if we do not do something about it,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001618if we do not,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001619add the budget ng ERC,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001620mas mamumroblema po ang taong bayan,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001621lalo na kung hindi mababantayan o ma-reregulate ang kuryente dito po sa ating bayan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001622Madam Speaker, nagkaroon din ang pagdinig dito sa Kongreso,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001623talakayan tungkol sa rotational brownout sa Visayas.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001624At isa po sa mga hinain ng ating mga consumers ay tungkol halimbawa po sa Iloilo City,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001625sa More Power residential rate na nagkaroon po ng pagtaas nitong July 2026,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001626mula 13.91 per kilowatt hour tungong 14.349 per kilowatt hour.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001627Maari po bang maipaliwanag ito ng ERC?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001628Bakit po nagkakaroon pa rin ng mga pagtaas?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001629Well, in the Visayas, Madam Speaker, as I've explained a while ago with DOE,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001630yung mga planta po talaga nag-breakdown.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001631So, naging tight po yung supply.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001632But I've explained also, magbubukasan na po yung ating mga planta, may dates na po yan.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001633Kaya lang the record is with DOE, now we are tackling ERC.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001634But I will give the details to our distinguished colleagues,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001635if I may satisfy you with the answer,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001636it's not only the problem of ERC, but even DOE.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001637So, they're taking action regarding po sa yellow alert, red alert sa Visayas area.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001638Narinig natin na patong-patong po talaga yung pasanin ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001639Bukod po sa pataas na presyo ng langis, na nakaka-apekto rin sa presyo ng kuryente,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001640at ngayon, marami din mga pinapasan na iba't-ibang mga fees.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001641Kaya, panahon na talaga para ma-review natin.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001642Ang lahat ng mga batas na kaugnay nito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001643At matiyak din natin na kung tayo po ay mga mekanismo, may mekanismo para sa regulasyon,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001644ay mahigpit ito na susuportahan ng ating pamahalaan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001645At higit sa lahat, nabibigyan ng prioridad ang interes ng publiko, ang interes ng ating mga consumers.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001646Maraming maraming salamat, Madam Speaker. Maraming salamat, Ginong Sponsor.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-001647Thank you. Majority Leader.
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-001648Madam Speaker, I move to recognize Representative Dagooc of APEC Partylist for his interpellation.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-001649The Honorable Serge Dagooc of Partylist APEC is recognized for his interpolation.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001650Thank you, Madam Speaker. Thank you, Majority Leader.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001651Magandang gabi po sa ating Energy Regulatory Commission headed by Chairman Nino at sa ating butihing sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001652Ako po ay nahihiya magtanong.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001653Kasi dahil sa napakaliit na budget, ang hirap po mag-utos kapag ka...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001654I really share the sentiment of the sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001655Paano po natin madisiplina yung ating mga nire-regulate?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001656Mas magaling po yung mga tao doon sa planta kaysa taga-ERC.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001657So, mahirap po talaga yan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001658Imagine, even the Committee Secretary ng Energy, si Efrain Cortes, nasa generisyo na.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001659So, paano?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001660So, kaya ilimit ko na lang yung aking mga ano sa mga mangilang proposal.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001661And recommendations doon sa mga rules natin.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001662Unang-una, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001663mayroon po tayong binabalangkas, including the Senate,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001664yung removal ng non-technical losses at saka lowering the cap of our...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001665So, most probably, ang sinusulong ng Department of Energy, mga 7 billion na ipapautang sa mga particularly electric cooperatives. Kasi alam naman po natin lahat yan sa energy family na hindi mo po maipababa yung technical kung hindi mo gagastusan yung infra mo.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001666So, sa tingin po ba ng Energy Regulatory Commission, Distinguished Sponsor, kailangan pa natin mag-create ng special unit para mapabilis yung evaluation and approval ng CAPEX intended for systems loss reduction.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001667Very specific po siya, for systems loss reduction program capital expenditures petition.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001668Yes, totally agree.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001669Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001670Pangalawa po, siguro the ERC will agree with me na paikutan yung mga rules natin.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001671Banggitin ko na sa mga GENCO.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001672Kasi upon reviewing the data given to me by NGCP,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001673doon sa mga planta na involved sa Ancillary Services Procurement Agreement,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001674nakita ko may isang planta, tatlong bisis na ibinta yung ano niya.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001675Nakita ko din, I hope I am wrong, but the ERC will evaluate this statement, no?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001676Kung ako may planta sa Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001677pwede kong patirikin ang planta ko kahit saang isla.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001678Dalawa-tatlong planta, halimbawa sampo yung planta ko, patirikin ko yung tatlo.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001679Kikita pa rin ako ng mas malaki pa doon sa umaandar yung sampong planta ko.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001680Natitipid ko pa yung operating expenses ko sa tatlong planta dahil hindi siya umaandar.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001681Anong gagawin ko?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001682Doon ko ibibinta sa reserve market.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001683So, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001684ang tinutukoy ko dito kung may hiwalay ba na price determination methodology
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001685ang ginagamit sa wholesale electricity spot market at sa reserve market.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001686Hiwalay po ba yung rules?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001687Yes, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001688And mas kailangan po.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001689Mag-agree po natin siguro ng closer market monitoring para hindi po tayo nagkaka...
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001690Alam po, alam po niyo po ang sagot.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001691Kaya pag nag-retire po si Kong Seryo, pwede po yan sa DOE, pwede rin nga sa ERC.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001692Salamat at hindi ko na yun itanong kasi yung sagot mo yan yung...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001693Ang itatanong ko na lang, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001694mag-aagree ba ang Energy Regulatory Commission
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001695na malaki yung possibility na tama yung hinala ko?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001696Can we...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001697Yung sinabi ko kanina, Distinguished Sponsor, na itong planta na ito, na ibinta ganito.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001698So, would the ERC agree with my observation na there is a possibility na pinaikutan nung mga ginko...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001700...yung weakness ng mga rules natin?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001701Yes, Madam Speaker, in-orderan na po ang PMC ng ERC to investigate on this matter.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001702Maganda po yun.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001703Makakatulong po yun.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001704Pero, again, I would like to reiterate na i-review natin yung rules kasi kung makikita mo yung data,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001705lumiliit po yung transaction sa asamble.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001706Pero, palaki ng palaki in billions yung transaction sa reserve market.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001707Malinaw po na, binabato nila sa reserve market yung kanilang capacity doon sa mga umaandar nilang planta.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001708Kasi, tumataas yung ating market price sa reserve market tuwing nagkaroon ng yellow at red alert.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001709Kaya, sinabi ko po, kahit hindi umaandar itong planta na ito, yung kabila na umaandar, kumikita ng dubli.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001710Kaya, kahit wala itong operasyon, yung revenue nila ay parehas pa din o mas malaki pa.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001711Yan po yung tinutukoy ko na pwedeng tingnan ng ERC.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001712Yes, we totally agree and review the policy regarding this matter, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001713Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001714Thank you, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001715Doon po sa policy ng ERC, sa deferment, naintindihan ko po na naawa po ang ating regulator dahil sa pagtaas.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001716Kaya, nagkaroon tayo ng mga advisory na huwag mo nang singilin, utay-utayin.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001717So, doon po sa pag-utay-utay, baka lang po.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001718Mayroong hindi nakikita ng ERC na ang working capital ng mga electric cooperatives na maliliit ay hindi po kakayanin yung apat na billing period.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001719Ibig sabihin, kung malaking customer ang hindi nagbabayad at dahil maliit lang ang DSM nung electric cooperative na yun,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001720at malaki yung component nung generation, the possibility is hindi masahuran yung mga empleyado dyan kasi uunahin niya yung planta para hindi siya maputulan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001721So, po pwede po ba, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, na i-review ng ERC na very specific distribution utility, yung kanyang orderan,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001722dahil makikita naman po niya yung MAPSR, yung Monthly Financial and Statistical Report,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001723na itong co-op na ito, maliit lang ang working capital, hindi niya kakayanin ng 4 months, so i-a-allow siya na mas maiksi yung period.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001724Tapos, ito dahil yung working capital niya, nakikita sa cash flow statement yan,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001725ay medyo mataas yung PC niya, ay ito yung 4 months.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001726Can the ERC, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, consider that?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001727Actually, I totally agree with the Congressman Dagoog, but ang ERC po ay nililift na yung no disconnection policy.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001728As of October.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001729Except for residential areas with 200 kilowatt hour consumption.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001730Okay.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001731And below.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001732Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001733Now, doon sa mga requirements natin sa permit sa planta, nare-review na po ba, Distinguished Sponsor, yung mga permit requirements natin?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001734Halimbawa, yung mga maliliit na planta.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001735Powerblock is the principal author of...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001736The Microgrid Act.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001737So, mga maliliit na isla yun, na planta.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001738Ang requirements, parihos lang sa mga malalaking planta.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-00173950 kilowatt, 100 kilowatt, natitinga.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001740Tapos na, hindi maka-operate dahil mahirap i-comply.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001741So, can the ERC review the requirements?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001742Then, huwag i-require doon sa mga maliliit yung requirements sa malalaki.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001743Yes, that's a very good observation.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001744But, regaling sa microgrid, actually po, na streamlined na po ng ERC.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001745Nag-issue na po tayo noong...
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001746Microgrid rules when?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001747April 2026, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001748Thank you.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001749Kung ganon.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001750So, to be specific, sa dinagat...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001751Mayroon akong 50 kilowatt doon na donation nung parang sa German yun, or UCID.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001752Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa naka-andar dahil sa hindi pa na-approve yung pinahil namin na permit.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001753So, sayang. Sayang yung planta.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001754Hybrid yun na solar at saka may genset.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001755Now, last na lang.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001756Hindi ko na itatanong itong iba.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001757Pwede ko namang kausapin si...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001758Chairman Nino.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001759Yung 2010 natin, Resolusyon...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001760Resolusyon number 10, series of 2023.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001761Yan yung suspension ng...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001762Pag-pass on ng franchise tax ni NGCP.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001763So, na-suspend na natin yun.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001764Malaki po yung amount.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001765That's 1.4 billion annually.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001766So, may computation na po ba?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001767Si...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001768Because, during the time of...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001769Chair Muna,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001770last kami nagka...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001771Nag-discuss sa WIS and MINS, no?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001772Sabi niya,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001773na nakita na nila yung up to 2015.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001774Kaya hindi pa nila ma-determine.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001775Because I am...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001776I am asking for the refund
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001777doon sa illegally collected.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001778Hindi naman po kasalanan ni Chair Muna yun at saka si Chair Nino.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001779Kasi, ibang chairman ng ERC,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001780ang nagpahintolot
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001781na ipasa ng NGCP yun illegally to the distribution utility.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001782Malaki pong halaga yan
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001783kasi yung 1.4 billion na franchise tax,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001784dahil nakapaloob sa gross receipts,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001785pinatunga na naman ng 12% na VAT.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001786Kaya, may I ask ERC kung nasaan na tayo ngayon
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001787doon sa pag-review ng mga nasingil?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001788Yes, actually, as of now,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001789nire-review po natin yung...
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001790yung batas.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001791We have to be careful
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001792kung pwede pong retroactive po kasi, no?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001793So, nire-review lang po yung batas
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001794kung pwede po natin gawin yun.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001795Madam Speaker,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001796distinguished sponsor, no?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001797With all juryspeak,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001798kahit hindi ako lawyer,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001799ang...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001800wala naman pong pag-usapan na retroactivity.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001801Kasi, from the beginning,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001802hindi po...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001803hindi po dapat pinahintulotan ng ERC
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001804kasi section 9 of Republic Act 9511,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001805yan po yung batas na nagbigay ng franchise
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001806sa National Grid Corporation of the Philippines.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-00180769 states that
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001808the grantee
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001809is liable for a 3% franchise tax
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001810in liable taxes, period.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001811Wala pong dinugtong na sentence na...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001812undefranchised tax can be passed on.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001813Wala po.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001814Doon po nanggaling yung argument ko.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001815Kaya nakita po yun ng BIR
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001816at sinabi ng BIR,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001817tama si Kongres Mandaguok,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001818hindi pwedeng ipasa.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001819Kaya nag-issue si ERC ng Resolution No. 10
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001820noong 2023,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001821nahihinto.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001822Kaya,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001823maningil tayo ngayon,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001824yung nakulikta illegally,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001825no?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001826Mula noong na-approve yung petition ng NGCP,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001827na ipasa.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001828So, palagay ko naman po,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001829wala pong retroactivity issue.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001830I agree with Kongres Mandaguok,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001831but the main problem is
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001832nag-issue po kasi dati ng resolusyon
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001833ang ERC way back.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001834Hindi po pa naon ni Charmona,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001835hindi po pa naon ngayon.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001836Kaya nga po,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001837pinag-aaralan po natin na maigi
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001838dahil kawawa naman po yung ating pong mga nag-implement.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001839Konting mali,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001840baka sila po yung makasuhan
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001841kahit tama na po yung ating ginagawa.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001842So, we are just being careful.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001843Mr. Speaker, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001844Kawawa naman po tayo
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001845kasi pati ako,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001846nagbabayad ako ng kuryente.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001847Binabayaran ko yung illegally collected na franchise tax.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001848Tapos, pinatungan pa ng VAT.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001849Tax na ngayon.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001850Tapos, tinax ulit.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001851So, anyway.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001852Ganon na lang ang mga katanungan ko.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001853Diyan na lang po, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001854Maraming salamat sa pagsagot,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001855Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-001856Maraming salamat, ERC.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-001857Thank you.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-001858Majority Leader.
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-001859Madam Speaker, I move that we recognize
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-001860Minority Floor Leader, Libanan,
Rep. Daphne A. Lagon
asr-001861for his interpellation.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-001862The Honorable Libanan is recognized.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001863Marami pong salamat, Madam Speaker.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001864Madam Speaker,
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001865I would like to,
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001866this presentation,
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001867I would like to ask
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001868if the sponsor is willing to answer
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001869some interpellations.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001870Yes, Madam Speaker.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001871Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001872Madam Speaker, tungkol po ito sa
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001873line loss congestion charge.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001874Yung line loss congestion charge,
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001875ang cooperative,
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001876electric cooperatives
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001877ng Region 8
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001878at saka Region 6
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001879ay
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001880nagbibili sa WESM
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001881at
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001882kung ang nabibili nila
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001883ay galing Luzon na
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001884GENCO
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001885generating company.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001886At nagkakakongestiyon
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001887dyan sa
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001888Luzon grid.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001889Hindi na ipapadala yung kuryente
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001890sa Region 6 at saka Region 8
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001891pero
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001892Sinacharge pa rin ang electric cooperatives. Nung tinignan ko po yung billing sa Eastern Summit, yung 13 pesos ay umaabot ng 18 pesos.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001893At kung ang hindi nagbayad na electric cooperative ay sisingilin, aabot po ng 25 pesos per kilowatt hour ang babayaran po.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001894Napaka-unfair po ito dahil hindi naman ito nagamit ng consumers. Hindi ito dumating sa Region 8 at sa Region 6. At napag-usapan din po namin ito nung pre-budget briefing.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001895At nung August 13, 2026, nagbigay ng order ang ERC to adopt an interim measure suspending collection payment of LRTA for trading intervals where different system marginal prices arise because of congestion.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001896The suspension is not blanket. It applies only when the conditions specified by ERC exist.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001897Tama po ba?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001898Yes, Madam Speaker.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001899Madam Speaker, yung...
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001900If I may add, Minority Leader, kung kailan po nag-arise yung problema, kaya nga po nag-order yung ating ERC nung August 13, 2026 sa IMAP to recalculate the allocation of the net settlement surplus.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001901Even nung simula.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001902So hindi lang po yung...
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001903Simula pa nung June 2021.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001904At kung makita po, basing doon sa investigation, kung may kailangan pong ibalik na pera,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001905i-re-rebate rin po yun sa mga consumers po natin na yun po yung concern na ni Minority Leader Limanan.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001906Maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker, sa answer.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001907Pero ang IMOP ay sumulat pa rin sa isa mail ko na hindi nila...
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001908na hindi nila nire-recognize yata yung suspension.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001909Dahil suspension lang ito eh.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001910For 30 days.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001911E paano po ito?
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001912Sabi ko nga, pag-implement ito, 25 pesos per kilowatt hour ng babayaran, parang papatay na natin ang mga consumers.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001913I think dalawa po yun.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001914So different po.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001915Yung bago pong order ng ating pong ERC is effective September ngayon po.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001916Pero yung sinasabi niyo po sa IMOP na kausap pa yung pinu-collect ng IMOP sa mail ko,
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001917prior month pa po yun.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001918So this is a new order, Madam Speaker, na kailangan pong sundin ng IMOP regarding sa computation.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001919So we have to recalculate.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001920Hindi lang po ngayon, but way back 2021, because the chairman...
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001921ERC mismo, naiintindihan po yung sitwasyon ng ating mga kababayan sa distrito po ng minority leader.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001922So they have to follow.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001923Maraming salamat po.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001924Madam Speaker.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001925Anyway, Madam Speaker, magkano na ba ang total amount na nakulekta mula June 2021 ng IMOP at pinaghati-hatian ng mga GINCOs?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001926Yes, Madam Speaker, if I may, can you give us...
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001927At the same time, we will ask IMOP to submit yung kanilang calculation to the ERC and will be given to the minority leader.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001928Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001929Madam Speaker, may principle tayo in civil law na tinatawag na solutio indebiti, unjust enrichment.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001930Bawal po ito sa ating batas.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001931Hindi na gamit pero kukuliktahin.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001932Kaya kung maaari po, bigyan ng permanent solution po ito.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001932-split-2Yes.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001932-split-3Na fair at saka madalian,
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001933bago maghingalo ang ating electric cooperatives at ang ating consumers po, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001934Totally agree, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001935And within the month, nag-commit po ang ERC na isasubmit po sa inyo yung kung magkano yung total.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001936At saka, Madam Speaker, hindi lang submission kundi reimbursement.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001937Reimbursement.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001938Sa lahat ng mga consumers.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001939After the submission, pag-aaralan po yan kung may nakita po or hindi lang po yan ng ERC na ibalik po sa consumer.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001940At Madam Speaker, sana ay dapat wala ng kultura natin na mangungulikta muna bago isa uli, di ba?
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001941Mawala na yun.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001942Kakahiya po yan, Madam Speaker.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001943Lalo na't may hirap na mga probinsya po ito.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001944So, sana po ay...
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001945Huwag na nating ugaliin po yan.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001946Madam Speaker, yun lang po.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001947At kailan po ito matutugunan ng ating ERC?
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001948Within this month po, tingnan na po natin yung computation na hiningi po natin sa IMAP.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001949And we just have to follow the process.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001950But siguro po by the end of the year.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001951O, kung may makita po kasi yung IMAP, pwede na pong implement.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001952Yung solution by October.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001953But, we commit lang yung September yung hiningi niyo po kung magkano yung total.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001954And then by October po, baka po ma-action na na.
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella
asr-001955Implementation na ng permanent solution ng ERC.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001956Maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001957Inaasahan ko po ang kasagutan ng Energy Regulatory Commission po dito.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001958Kaya wala na pong ibang magtatanong.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001959Sa hanay ng minorya.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001960And I therefore move to terminate the period for interpellation and debate on the Energy Regulatory Commission on behalf of the minority.
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan
asr-001961So moved, Madam Speaker.

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002086Nandun tayo noon. Tinanong ko sa inyo to.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002087Sabi ko bakit nyo papagbawalan
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002088kung gusto nyo,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002089tawagan nyo si SDML Lawrence Defensor.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002090Tayo yung tatlo nag-usap dyan.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002091My apologies, Honorable Tobishangko.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002092Okay, Madam Speaker, patapusin nyo ako.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002093Yes, just to clarify,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002094you're referring to, just so
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002095I get the context of...
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002096Hoven, of rules. Tatlo kami magkausap
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002097dyan. Sabi ko, bakit...
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002098Okay, so you're referring not to
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002099Congresswoman Ilago, to the...
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002100No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002101Yeah, yeah, so my apologies. That's why we're getting confused.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002102Okay. Sabi ko, bakit pagbabawalan
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002103pinapayagan naman? At ang assurance
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002104sa akin doon, it is
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002105ang pinagbabawalan is yung
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002106member, because the rules clearly
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002107state it is the member who
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002108is prohibited, not the
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002109staff. Because how will the
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002110staff taking a video there or a photo
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002111there disrupt the proceedings?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002112At ang sabi sa akin noon,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002113unparliamentary
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002114yung ginagawa na
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002115nagbibideo dito sa
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002116floor. And alam ko naman who
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002117they were referring to at the time.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002118It was, they were referring to
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002119ayaw na nilang maulit
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002120yung ginagawa nung aking kaibigan
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002121na si Kiko Barsaga.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002122So pumayag ako noon
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002123at usapan lalaki noon,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002124hindi ko nakikwestiyonin sa
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002125plenaryo. Yan ang usapan noon.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002126That was the interpretation. Tapos
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002127ngayon yan ang gagamitin sa staff ko
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002128tsaka videographer ko para bawalan.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002129Ano to?
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002130They were in the gallery, Your Honor.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002131Yes. Kahapon, ayaw na ang papasukin.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002132So wala na tayong freedom of speech dito?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002133Ganun po ba yun?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002134So paano nangyari yun?
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002135Yeah, with due courtesy
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002136to the Honorable Toby Chanko, we hear you
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002137and, um,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002138we just heard about the matter
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002139this evening.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002140So the
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002141parliamentary inquiry here is that
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002142members or staff
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002143from the office of the Honorable Toby Chanko
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002144were allegedly prevented
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002145from entering and
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002146were allegedly prohibited
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002147from taking videos
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002148and photos
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002149while in the gallery.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002150Yes, at pinagdagtanong yung staff ko,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002151binigay nga sa kanya ay section
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-00215297. So this, that,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002153this does not apply to my staff.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002154It applies to a member.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002155And why will you prevent someone
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002156from taking videos and photos?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002157Ano bang masama dun?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002158May tinatago ba tayo dito?
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002159Um, Your Honor, wala naman po.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002160Okay. So we will, uh,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002161the Committee on Rules and the leadership
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002162will look into the situation
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002163and we will respond accordingly
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002164and if indeed there was
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002165lapse on the part
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002166of the Rules Secretariat,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002167they will duly approve.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002168I apologize.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002169No, Madam Speaker, I cannot accept that.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002170I want you to make a ruling now.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002171You can consult, we can suspend,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002172you can consult with the Majority Leader,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002173with the Speaker, but I will not accept that.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002174You have to make a ruling now.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002175Well, basically, the rules,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002176Honorable Chanko, applies to members
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002177of the House.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002178Okay, so can I let my photographer and videographer
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002179in now?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002180Pardon me?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002181Kung it applies to the members
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002182of the House, papasukin nyo na po ngayon
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002183yung photographer ko at videographer.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002184Yeah, session suspended.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002185So, just to align,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002186just for the record,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002187we will just validate the name of your staff,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002188we will confer with the rules on what happened
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002189and then we will resume session.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002190Session suspended for a few minutes.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002191Yes, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002207Session resumed.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002208After discussion with the Secretariat of the Rules Committee,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002209the ruling of the presiding officer says,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002210all congressional staff with valid ID are allowed to take pictures and photos of their principal
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002211as long as they will not disrupt the plenary.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002212Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002213So, does it mean to say, papayagan na pong pumasok yung staff ko right now?
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002214Yes, they will be admitted as long as they present their official ID
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002215and that they're plantilia staff of the members of Congress.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002216Okay, pangalawa pong parliamentary inquiry, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002217I'm glad that you're the one presiding today.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002218Noong pong lunes, you called me out of order because of section 105.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002219Ang sabi niyo po doon, I cannot request to reopen the budget
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002220of the house because
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002221At ang sinayot niyo po noon is when a measure, report, or motion is approved, adopted, or lost, a member who voted, this is the important word, who voted with the majority may move for its reconsideration on the same or succeeding session.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002222Ang sabi niyo po noon, since wala po ako doon, hindi ako bumoto, kaya hindi ako pwede mag-reconsider.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002223But this section should be related to this section on voting. It cannot stand alone.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002224And what does the voting say? Voting says we vote either ace or nace or nominal voting.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002225There are two modes of voting. Ace and nace.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002226And nominal voting. So hanapin ko lang po kung ano yung exactong rule.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002227Rule 16, Section 117, Manner of Voting. So hindi ko nang buhahabain, papahabain, no?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002228The speaker shall arise and state the motion or request that is being put to vote in a clear, precise, simple language.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002229The speaker shall say as many as in favor as the question may be, say aye.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002230After the affirmative vote is counted, the speaker shall say as many as opposed, say nay.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002231Sumunod po noon, nominal voting. Hindi ko nababasahin, hindi effecto.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002232Ang sabi niyo po doon, kaya hindi po pwedeng pagbigyan yung reconsideration ko, is because,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002233I did not vote. Okay?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002234I will make it clear, and gusto niyo balikan natin yung video, hindi po umabot sa voting.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002235Meron lang pong nag-motion to terminate, merong nag-agree, pero hindi po umabot sa voting.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002236At hindi niyo po pwede idahilan na dahil walang tumutol, ay hindi na umabot sa voting.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002237Because, pag second reading, when you request for the approval of the measure, even if no one objects,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002238you go through voting.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002239So dito, hindi umabot sa voting, hindi applicable po yung sinasabi niyong section. Maliwanag po yan.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002240In response to the query of the Hon. Chanko, if I may,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002241Section 105 refers to the motion for reconsideration as put forward by any member of this House.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002242The presiding officer stands by a ruling,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002243that a motion for reconsideration shall only be allowed to a member who voted with the majority.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002244With regard to your query whether an ayes and nays or a nominal voting was conducted,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002245the ayes and nays is done when we approve a measure on second reading.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002246In this case, it was a motion from the minority jointly done with the majority to terminate the period of interpolation.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002247In other words, we are on the period of
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002248sponsorship debate and interpellation.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002249And motions with regards to this are done by basic motions, not with an ayes and nays.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002250No, but Madam Speaker, Section 105 refers to voting.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002251So the question is, nagdaroon ba ng...
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002252Section 105 refers to motions for reconsideration.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002253Yes, with regards to voting.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002254Tignan niyo po yung section.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002255If I may, Your Honor, allow me to read Section 105.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002256When a measure, report, or motion is approved,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002259adopted or lost,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002261and in this case, it's a motion to approve the motion to terminate the period of interpolation
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002262and the proposed budget of a certain agency.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002263Yes, was there voting?
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002264Yes, because the presiding officer said, is there any objection?
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002265It's a motion to terminate the period of interpolation and the proposed budget
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002266of whichever agency was discussed.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002267Yes, pero sa pag nagbubotohan tayo ng second reading, kahit walang mag-object,
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002268you still call the eisen-nace.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002269That is for second reading, Honorable Chanko.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002270Okay, if you will insist, Madam Speaker, let us go by your theory.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002271I am present here today.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002272With due courtesy, Honorable Chanko.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002273It is not my theory, it is the rules of the House of Representatives,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002274and I'm citing Section 105, which refers to motions for reconsideration.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002275It is your interpretation of the rules.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002276It is not my interpretation, it is the rules,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002277and as presiding officer, that is what we stand for.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002278Okay, sige ha, sundan natin yung list.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002279With due courtesy, Your Honor, actually what you could have done
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002280was that when the presiding officer ruled you out of order,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002281you could have appealed, and we were waiting for you to appeal,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002282then you will be given five seconds to explain your appeal.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002283Five minutes, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002284Pardon me, Your Honor?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002285Five minutes, not five seconds.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002286Five minutes, I stand corrected.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002287And after that appeal, if your appeal will be lost, then we can put it into a vote.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002288Unfortunately, during that time, you did not appeal and waived that right.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002289Okay, yes, Madam Speaker, I will explain why I did not appeal at that time.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002290Pinabayaan ko nila lang yun eh.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002291Kasi kahit naman mag-appeal ako, alam naman natin dito, sagasaan dito.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002292Hindi naman ako mananalo sa appeal.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002293Pero sobra na yung nangyayari.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002294Ano nangyayari?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002295Yung staff ko kanina hindi pinapasok.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002296Nung nagbilangan tayo ng boto dito, pinalabas nila 221.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002297Eh wala pa nga ang kalahat yung nakaupo dito. Eh sobra na.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002298Okay, I will go with your reasoning.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002299Let me correct that for the record, Your Honor.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002300After conferring with our staff,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002301we were informed that they deny the allegation na hindi pinapasok ang staff mo.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002302But the allegation that they were not allowed
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002303to take photos and videos was because of the internal agreement or internal rules.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002304That's why you have those white placards or how do you call that?
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002305Signages in the gallery.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002306No videos, pictures taken or whatsoever.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002307But the chair has already ruled that that will be allowed as long as they are official,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002308plantilia, staff members of the office, of your office.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002309Okay, let's go back.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002310Pinalampas ko na lang yun. Pero...
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002311Just for the record, can we request the Secretary General
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002312to retrieve the 200 plus that the Honorable Chanko is referring to?
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002313Okay.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002314Is this in relation to your...
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002315No, it was in relation to the Speaker calling for a roll call at that time. Okay?
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002316Yes, we have the record.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002317It includes 21 members who were present at the Senate Impeachment Court.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002318Yes.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002319It also included members who were on official business similar to the time that
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002320during the past weeks when you were on official business since you were in Italy,
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002321your presence has also been recorded as present because you were on official business.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002322Okay, okay, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002323Let us just go with your ruling.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002324Let us go with your ruling.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002325Madam Speaker, if that is your ruling, I was present today.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002326I voted with the approval of all agencies tackled today.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002327So if we go by your ruling, do you mean to say I can move now to reconsider all these?
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002328Do you want to test your ruling? Let's test it now.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002329Would you like to reconsider the proposed...
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002330All, all, all, even those in the morning.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002331If that is your ruling, if that is your ruling, then we can test your ruling, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002332We are actually tackling the proposed budget on a per-agency basis.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002333Madam Speaker, but you said per day.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002334Madam Speaker, but you said per day.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002335Madam Speaker, you said per day.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002336Hence, if there is no objection, the period of interpolation for that proposed agency
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002337is terminated.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002338But if the Honorable Chanko is so willing to request for the reopening of any agency
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002339to which he was present, then we will consider that.
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco
asr-002340Okay.
Rep. Aniela Bianca D. Tolentino
asr-002341Madam Speaker, I move to suspend session for today.
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin
asr-002342Session suspended.

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002511Mr. Speaker, colleagues, I rise to sponsor the proposed fiscal year 2027 budget of the Civil Service Commission, including the Career Executive Service Board. As the central human resource agency of the government, the CSC carries a constitutional mandate that goes to the very heart of effective governance,
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002512ensuring that appointments and personnel actions in the public service are guided by merit and fitness, while promoting professionalism, integrity, efficiency, responsiveness, and accountability among our public servants. The proposed fiscal year 2027 budget of 4.04 billion pesos, including automatic appropriations,
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002513will support the Commission's core functions, including human resource governance, professionalization in the workplace, [unclear] and administrative justice, as well as the continuing Philippine Civil Service Modernization Project, which will support the digital conversion of HR systems, records and [unclear].
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002514The Career Executive Service Board, meanwhile, is proposing a budget of 142.86 million. The Board plays an important role in developing and maintaining a competent executive service that provides continuity, professionalism, [unclear] leadership in government. With this consideration,
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002515I respectfully present the proposed
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002516fiscal year 2027 budget of the

asr-002517Civil Service Commission, including
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002518the Career Executive Service Board,
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002519for the consideration of
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002520this honorable body.

asr-002526Mr. Sponsor.
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza
asr-002528Majority Leader.
Rep. Aniela Bianca D. Tolentino
asr-002529Mr. Speaker, I move to recognize
Rep. Aniela Bianca D. Tolentino
asr-002530Representative Rene Co from the Kabataan Party List.
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza
asr-002530-split-2Thank you, Majority Leader. Representative Co of the Kabataan Party List is recognized to interpellate the sponsor.
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza
asr-002531Please proceed, ma'am.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002532Maraming salamat, Ginong Speaker, at magandang gabi po sa Distinguished Sponsor natin at sa Civil Service Commission.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002533Noong nakaraang taon, meron din po tayong mga katanungan tungkol sa kalagayan ng kabataan at ating mga lingkod bayan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002534And in particular, na-note po natin na may mga bagong resolusyon galing sa Civil Service Commission, particularly No. 25752 tungkol po sa eligibility of SK officers na maaari pong makonsidera for first-level positions in the career service.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002535At No. 25229, o ang updated guidelines kung paano po makaka-qualify ang K-to-12 na magserbisyo sa gobyerno.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002536Meron din po tayong concern sa kung paano ang mga local government unit offices na nare-reassign sa ibang opisina ng LGU kapag hindi po kasundo ang local elective officials, at ano pong aksyon ng CSC na maaaring
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002537i-undertake para po hindi ma-upend yung civil service tungkol dito. Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, maaari po bang magsumite ng request ang kinatawan na ito para po makahingi ng mga updates tungkol po sa mga resolusyon na ito, para po makita natin kung paano naaalagaan ng CSC ang kalagayan ng kabataan at ating mga lokal na lingkod bayan?
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002538We will provide copies of the resolution tomorrow.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002539Maraming salamat po at sana rin.
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002540Mr. Speaker, siguro puwede kong sagutin yung tungkol sa chief executive na tinanong ng ating kagalang-galang na Kabataan Party List.
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002541Sir Speaker,
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002542Halimbawa, sa isang [unclear] plantilla, tapos nagpalit ng chief executive, inilipat ka sa sanitary inspection, bawal.
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002543Halimbawa, isa kang budget officer, tapos [unclear] para maging [unclear] collector, bawal.
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002544Dahil hindi iyon ang iyong appointed plantilya position.
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002545Kung ikaw ay municipal engineer,
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002546at nagpalit ng chief executive at nilagay ka sa solid waste office, bawal.
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002547The reason for this, Mr. Speaker, is that it violates Rule Number 4, Section 13 of the 2025 Rules on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions, CSC rule na ito.
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002548Maituturing na constructive dismissal ang ganitong gawain.
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002549At maaaring magreklamo ang kawalin ng gobyerno sa Civil Service Commission.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002550Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, maraming salamat po sa klarifikasyon na ito.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002551At sana po ay maging gabay ito sa mga lingkod bayan natin na nahaharap sa ganitong issue, na sana po ay mas na-streamline ang ating local civil service kung hindi po nahaharap sa ganitong klaseng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002552And I'd say it, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor ng pamumulitika.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002553Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002554Hihintayin po natin, hindi lang yung kopya ng resolusyon na iyon, pero pati rin po yung ulat tungkol po sa kung paano po nagkaroon ng pagpasok ng mga additional SK at even K-to-12 graduates sa mga posisyon ng civil service pagkatapos po ng resolusyon na iyon.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002555Maaaring po ba itong maibigay, Mr. Speaker?
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002556Mr. Speaker, yes po.
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.
asr-002557Bukas po ng umaga o maghapon, ibibigay po ang hiningi ng ating kasamang kabataan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002558Ang huling concern na lang po natin, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, ay dahil nakita natin na mahalaga din yung pambansang civil service natin at natutuloy-tuloy yung kanilang gawain,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002559Ang Career Executive Service Board ay meron pong funding requirement na 66 million na on the record ay gusto natin mailatag at maikonsidera ng plenaryo para po ang kanilang main building.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002560and resource center capacity building ay maisagawa po nang maayos.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002561At the proper time, this representative will make the proper solution.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002562For now, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-002563Being that there are no other questions from the members of the minority, I move to terminate the deliberations of the budget of the Civil Service Commission. So moved, Mr. Chair.

asr-002682Mr. Speaker, supporting this budget therefore means supporting mobility, productivity, and inclusive development for every Filipino.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002683It is an investment not only in steel, concrete, and runways, but in the future of our nation.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002684It is with this conviction that I respectfully urge this August Chamber to approve the proposed budget of the Department of Transportation for the fiscal year 2027.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002685Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, dear colleagues.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002686We are now ready to answer
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002687the queries of our good colleagues.
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza
asr-002688Maraming maraming salamat, Mr. Sponsor. We'd like also to acknowledge 2nd District, Northern Samar.
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza
asr-002689Well, yes, 3rd District, Quezon, Vice Chair Renante U. Arogancia. Majority Leader, please.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-002690Mr. Speaker, I move that we recognize the Honorable Sergio Dagooc of APEC Party List to interpolate on the proposed budget.
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza
asr-002691The gentleman from APEC.
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza
asr-002692APEC Party List, Representative Sergio C. Dagooc.
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza
asr-002693You may proceed, sir.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002694Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Majority Leader.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002695Mayong gabi sa atong amigo, sa Distinguished Sponsor, at sa lahat ng mga taga DOTr.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002696Tanggalan ko po ng 70% yung katanungan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002697Gusto kong makapagpahinga na yung kaibigan ko sa Samar.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002698Would the Distinguished Sponsor yield to, instead of 17, only 4?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002699Clarificatory questions.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002700Yes, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002701Colleague?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002702Unang-una, ito ay pinaabot lang sa akin.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002703Nung mga some majority members from Mindanao.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002704Ayaw ko kasing magsinungaling.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002705Hindi ito kasama sa ano ko.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002706Pero I found it very relevant.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002707Itong modernisisyon natin sa public transport, may mga subsidy po ito noon.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002708Okay.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002709Nangungutang na po sila.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002710Ngayon, parang bigla nating tinanggal sa budget.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002711So, ano mangyari sa kanila?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002712Hindi nila mabayaran yung kanilang mga amortisisyon.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002713Ano po ang tugon nito sa ating kagawaran?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002714Distinguished Sponsor, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002715Maraming salamat po, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002716Malaking bagay po ngayon, ang katanungan na yan,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002717ay nabigyan po ng budget ng 1.5 billion.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002718Para po sa subsidy ng pagbayad po nung mga loans na amortisisyon,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002719loans na ibigay ng DBP and Land Bank.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002720Dito po, two tranches po ito.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002721Mayroon pong 600M na nakalaan para sa mga public utility vehicles
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002722na makakatanggap po sila ng 20,000 kada taon.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002723For, kada buwan, for 3 months.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002724So, makakabawas po ito, makakapagbigay ng paluwag dito po sa kanilang amortisisyon.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002725At, mayroon po rin mga 450M para po sa fuel discount.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002726Kung di po ko nagkakamali, lumalabas po na 12 pesos per liter para po dito sa fuel discounts.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002727Distinguished Colleague, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002728Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002729So, sa makatawid.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002730Hindi naman po pala totoo na wala tayong subsidy for 2027.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002731Ano po ito? Amortisisyon po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002732Ang problem pala po, Mr. Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002733ang fuel subsidy, wala pong pondo and ang service contract program.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002734Yan po ang wala pong pondong na ibigay ang DBM.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002735Pero may proposal po sana ang DOTR na 5B for fuel subsidy.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002736And,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-0027375B for service contracting program.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002738Ang problema, 4B para po sa land-based.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-0027391B for marine-based.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002740Ang tinutukoy kanina, Distinguished Sponsor, ay subsidy para sa amortisisyon.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002741Kasi ang issue nila, yung mga utang nila dahil sa modernisisyon natin.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002742So, mayroon naman palang subsidy para sa amortisisyon.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002743Mayroon po.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002744Okay.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002745For this year po yan.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002746Sa 2027, 1.7 billion po nakalaan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002747Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002748Ang susunod ko pong katanungan, mayroon po tayong iba-ibang mode of transportation.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002749Pwede ko po bang matanong ang aking kaibigan na sponsor,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002750ilan po ba talaga yung mode of transportation natin sa buong bansa?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002751Land, air, marine, and rail po.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002752So, napapansin ko po, tuwing may mga crisis,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002753ang palagi lang nating nasusubsidize yung land, mga bus, jeepneys.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002754Ang issue na ito is reiteration.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002755Nung tayo ay nagbalangkala,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002756doon sa special power ni Presidente to suspend excise tax noong nag-break tayo.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002757So, ngayon po ba sa 2027 na NEP ng DOTR, sinama na po ba yung other mode of transportation?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002758Salamat po, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002759Pinakamalaki pong nabadgetan po ngayon ang rail transport program po, RTP.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002760Halos.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002761Kala po ng mga 72.4% po under RTP, under OSEC po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002762And ang second biggest is the maritime infrastructure program, mga 6.7%.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002763And the land public transportation program, 6.1%.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002764Yan po ay yung unang tatlong pinakamalaking pondo na ilaan para sa DOTR.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002765So, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002766mayroon na po tayong
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002769maritime subsidy. Magkano po yan?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002769-split-2Lumalabas po, 18,000, 18 million, 18,137 million for maritime infrastructure program.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002769-split-3Puwede po bang malaman ano yung specific na inaalaw na paggagamitan ng pondong yan?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002771Mayroon po sana nakalaan na 1 billion para sa maritime based program, service contract po, program.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002772Ang problema lang po, hindi po naisama sa NEP, pero yan po yung proposal ng DOTR.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002773During the budget legislation, hindi lang po naisama ng DBM.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002774Yung 1 billion out of the 5 billion para po sa service contracting
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002775Program.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002776[unclear] ko po naitanong 'yan, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002777Alam naman po natin na ang Pilipinas ay napakaraming isla.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002778Kaya po, nagtataka ako bakit nakatotok lang tayo sa mga jeepney bus.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002779Yung paabay tinotoka natin dahil nagra-rally sila,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002780nag-transport strike.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002781Dahil po ba yung mga pump boats,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002782sa Siargao, sa Dinaga at sa Rumblon, doon sa Samar, ay walang subsidy yung mga pasahero doon
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002783kahit nagmahal na yung pamasahe dahil sa fuel, dahil hindi sila nagra-rally.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002784Kung totoosin, pwede naman pong maglakad yung nasa lupa, pero kami po sa isla,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002785hindi po namin pwedeng lakarin para makatawid kami sa kabila.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002786Kailangan namin sumakay. Dito pwedeng mag-bike, pwedeng mag-jogging.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002787Doon po, hindi po namin magagawa yun.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002788So bakit po, sa napakaraming taon na nagdaan, tuwing may crisis, jeep nilang, bus lang ang may subsidy?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002789Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, tama po yan.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002790Mabuti lang po ang DOTR ay nakalaan po ng 200 million para po sa maritime programs for 2026
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002791under the service contract.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002792Contracting program.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002793And sa 2027, mayroong pong 1 billion na nakalaan.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002794Kaya lang sa kasamang palad, hindi po naisama sa, ng DBM sa, during the budget legislation.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002795Yun nga.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002796Distinguished colleague.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002797Kaya, kaya talagang sasamayin ang palad namin sa, sa taga-isla.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002798So siguro mag-strike na lang din kami, taga-summer.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002799Hindi na magbibiyahi yung mga pampot sa Romblon.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002800Sana po, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002801May I appeal to DOTR na kayo, kayo, kayo po kasi yung mandated, no, sa transportation.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002802Mandate po ninyo na equal, nasaan na po yung equal protection clause natin na pinili lang natin yung ibang sektor sa transportation.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002803Hindi naman po, po pwede, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, na ang sagot lang natin sa mga taga-isla,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002804magtiis kayo kasi sa kasamaang palad, hindi naisama ng, ah, DBM yung, ah, subsidy.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002805Yung 200 million po, ah, I appreciate that, no.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002806I can attest na nakarating din po sa dinagat yan sa Siargao, pero sampung araw lang po yung, ah, yung service contract.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002807At least nabawasan ng 60 pesos yung, ah, pamasahe.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002808Pero yung sampung araw, okay na rin ninyo, at least.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002809No? Ah, hindi kami umabot sa rally na yung mga pambot mag-angkla doon sa, ano.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002810Pero sana, ah, maipare-consider ninyo, seriously, ah, lobby doon sa, sa DBM na maibalik yung, ah, 1 billion na subsidy para sa maritime.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002811Kasi napaka-unfair po sa mga taga-isla na yung taga-mainland, since time immemorial,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002812you enjoy every crisis, they, they always enjoy the subsidy, while yung mga nasa dagat, wala.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002813Ah, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, ang DOTR po ay nagpapasalamat kay Congressman Dagoog for spearheading the maritime, ah, transport program.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002814Malaking bagay po ito na ma-i-sab, ma-i-dagdag, maka-i-dagdag po natin dito sa Kongreso ang nawala pong 1 billion para po sa maritime transport.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002815Na, for 2027.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002816Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, for the record, no, I am very frustrated and dismayed to the Department of Budget and Management na hindi nila sinama.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002817Sana walang taga-DBM na nakatira sa isla o ipinanganak sa isla.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002818Kung mo ba nandito na sila nagtatrabaho sa Maynila, nakalimutan na nila na galing sila sa isla.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002819So, yung mga kasalanan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002820Kasamahan ko dito sa Berm, Hulo, Sulo, Tawi-Tawi, Basilan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002821Bakit? Hindi ba mga Pilipino yan?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002822So, medyo may problema tayo sa DBM.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002823Nandito naman siguro yung DBM because normally, DBM is represented sa lahat ng budget deliberation sa lahat ng agency.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002824Sana maiparating nyo kay Sekretary Kim na yung definition niya sa...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002825Sa DBM, dapat ang budget daw ay makatao.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002826Hindi po makatao na ang isubsidize natin, land transportation lang, Sekretary Kim.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002827Mali po yung definition mo sa DBM na dapat budget makatao.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002828Hindi po makatao yung pinipili mo lang.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002829Sana ma-restore mo yung subsidy sa isla para hindi mo malabag yung equal protection ng ating konstitusyon.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002830Kasi Pilipino...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002831Mga Pilipino din po kami na taga Hulo, Sulo, Dinagat, Rumblon.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002832Samart, mga Pilipino din po kami.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002833So, anyway, siguro malinaw yung naiparating natin sa DBM.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002834Hindi po ito kasalaanan ni DOTR.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002835Last question na lang.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002836Ganito kakapal yung question ko pero last question na lang ito.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002837Doon sa ano natin, sa air transportation.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002838In one of the hearings, yata.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002839Sa Committee on Transportation, nabanggit ninyo na hindi na sinisingil ni CAB at saka ni CAB yung mga fees and charges sa ating mga airlines.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002840Tama po ba yun?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002841Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002842Ang tinatanong po nyo is the fuel surcharge.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002843Isa po yan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002844Pero may mga fees pa yata yun na...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002845Yes, may trigger mechanism po ang fuel surcharge kung nagkaroon po ng 20% increase dito po sa fuel prices, sa global fuel prices po bago po maka-charge po ng fuel surcharge.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002846So, tinatanggal po siya, sinususpend pag maabot yung trigger?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002847Sir, nagkakaroon po ng instead na 30-day price interval, nagiging 15 days po. So, twice a month po yung pagsukat po ng increase ng fuel prices po.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002848Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002849But there's an automatic mechanism na pagka bumaba below 100 ang Jet A1 fuel na price, bumaba po ng $100 per barrel, babalik po sa dating 30-day interval.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002850So, para lang may idea ang ating mga air passengers, magkano po ba yung fuel surcharge na yan doon sa ticket natin?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002851Is that regardless sa layo ng destination or per ticket?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002852Magkano po at the average yung fuel surcharge?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002853Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, mayroon po sinusunod ang DOTR na matrix pero medyo mahaba po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002854But if the Distinguished Colleague will allow us to submit a written complete matrix po to your office and to this committee.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002855Yes, please.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002856Pero yung pinakamataas.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002857Pinakamataas at saka pinakamababa na lang.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002858Nagre-range po ang domestic, Mr. Speaker and Distinguished Colleague, by domestic, nagre-range po between P457 to P1,336.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002859For international, nagre-range po sa P1,509 to P11,220.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002860Okay, thank you, Distinguished Sponsor. At least may idea na ako.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002861So, ang katanungan ko na lang.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002862Tuwing isususpend yan, kung mag-trigger yun,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002863papaano po may no-monitor ng CAB yung amount na yan na talagang nare-reflict na tatapyas doon sa binabayaran noong pasahero?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002864Kasi baka nagsasayang tayo ng revenue ng gobyerno,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002865pero hindi rin naman napakinabangan, hindi natin na siguro na nag-reflect siya doon sa cost ng ticket.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002866Mayroon po bang pamamaraan ang Civil Aeronautics Board na na-monitor yan na talagang tinatanggal yung amount na yan sa mga airline?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002867Yung Civil Aeronautics Board po, Mr. Speaker, dear Distinguished Colleague, mayroon pong price monitoring system po silang sinusunod para sa increase or decrease of the airfare prices.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002868Online.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002868-split-2Online. Online. Nakikita nila.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002869Online po, oo.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002870So, talagang...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002871Sigurado si CAB na yung tinapyas nila dahil sinuspend noong time na yan ang ating fuel surcharge ay nare-reflict naman talaga sa ticket.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002872Yes. The airlines will submit written report po sa CAB.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002873Thank you.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002874So, maraming salamat po sa ating kaibigan, sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002875At sa DOTR, maraming salamat at umaga na ba? Ah, wala pa. Hindi pa pala.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002876So, i-submit ko na lang itong ibang katanungan ko. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-002877Mr. Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza
asr-002877-split-2[unclear] Sponsor, maraming salamat.
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza
asr-002878Sergio [unclear] Dagooc, [unclear] APEC Party List. Majority Leader, please.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-002879Mr. Speaker, I move that we recognize the Honorable Percy Cendaña of Akbayan
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-002880Party List to interpellate on the proposed budget.
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza
asr-002881The Akbayan Party List, Representative Percy Cendaña, you are now recognized, sir. Please proceed.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002882Maraming salamat, Ginong Speaker, at magandang gabi po sa ating distinguished sponsors at sa buong DOTR family.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002883Bilisan ko na po yung mga tanong para hindi po tayo umagahin. Una pong mga tanong tukol po sa right-of-way.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002884Magkano po ang current budget natin for the acquisition of right-of-way ng DOTR?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002885Dito po sa NEP, bagamat insufficient po ang pondo, is 2.7 billion po for the North-South Commuter Railway alone.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002886So, pag sinabi po natin insufficient, insufficient po by how much?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002887Ang total na kailangan po for 2027 is 30 billion, Mr. Speaker, Ginong Sponsor.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002888Sponsor.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002889Kung ito po ay para sa North-South Commuter Railway lamang, paano po ang ating Metro Manila Subway Project?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002890Kaya kulang rin po, distinguished colleague, kaya po humingi po ang DOTR ng karagdagang pondo for both North-South Commuter Railway and Metro Subway.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002891Kumusta naman po sa MRT-7? Meron po ba tayong right-of-way requirement po po dito?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002892Pakiulit lang po, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002893May issues pa rin po ba tayo ng right-of-way for MRT-7, distinguished colleague?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002894Ah, wala na po, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002895So, ang pinag-uusapan po natin dito ay ang right-of-way acquisition for both the Metro Manila Subway Project at ang North-South Commuter Railway.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002896Given po na talagang malayo sa target amount natin, yung nag-reflect sa NEP, ano po ang implication nito in terms of our timelines?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002897Target completion dates, Mr. Speaker, ginoong sponsor?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002898Definitely, madi-delay po ang dalawang projects po.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002899Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, may we know by how many months or years madi-delay ang dalawang proyektong ito dahil po sa kakulangan ng right-of-way acquisition allocation para po sa dalawang proyektong ito?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002900Distinguished colleague, may karagdagang po ang dalawang taon na delay po ang magiging efekto po nito.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002901So, ginoong speaker, talaga po nakababahala na dahil po sa kakulangan sa allocation for right-of-way acquisition,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002902madi-delay po ng dalawang taon ang Metro Manila Subway Project at ang North-South Commuter Railway.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002903Sigurado po ako na sa pag-narinig ito ng ating mga kababayan sa Central Luzon, sa Metro Manila at sa Southern Tagalog,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002904talaga pong umaaray sila para malaman na dalawang taon ang magiging delay.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002905So, given this two-year delay, kailan din?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002906Kailan din po ang kumplisyon kung pag-uusapan po natin ang full operational mode ng dalawang proyektong ito?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002907So, kung matadagdagan po ng hinihinging pondo ng DOTR,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002908ay baka kaya pang mahabol sa same timeline po na nakaset, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002909Pero kung hindi po madadagdagan, kailan po? Ano pong taon ang pinag-uusapan natin?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002910Ang estimate po ng DOTR, minimum of two years po ang may dadagdag, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002911So, anong taon po itong sinasabi natin na minimum of two years?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002912For...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002913For...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002914For the North-South Commuter Railway, from 2033 to 2035.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002915For the Metro Subway, from 2031 to 2033, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002916Nakalulungkot pong balita na kailangan pong maghirap, magtiis na ating mga kababayan ng dagdag pang dalawang taon
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002917dahil sa kakulangan po ng allocation.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002918For right-of-way acquisition.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002919Usapan pa rin po ng...
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002920Binanggit ko kanina, time, opportunity, and dignity of our people.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002921Kasi ito naman po talaga yung sinachampion ng departamento when it comes to developments in our transportation infrastructure system.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002922Pero meron na po kasi isang programa na gumagana at napapakinabangan ng milyong-milyong Pilipino.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002923Pero nakapagtataka po kung bakit ang nasa NEP ay zero ang budget para sa programang ito.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002924At ito po ang EDSA Busway System.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002925Kahapon lamang po, lumabas sa Manila Bulletin ang isang news article.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002926Sinasabi,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002927Palace backs EDSA Busway funding request.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002928Nagmula po mismo ang pahayag na ito sa Palace Press Officer.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002929Pero alam naman po natin na hindi ito ang nakareflex NEP.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002930Zero ang pondo ng EDSA Carousel for 2027.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002931Sana po nag-uusap ang Palasyo at DBM
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002932pagdating po sa usaping ito.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002933Initial budget hearing pa lang po nangungulit na ang akbaya na magbibigyan ng pondo ang programa.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002934At hindi natin tatantanan ang issue ito para sa 60 million na mananakay sa ating pong EDSA Bus Carousel.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002935Gusto lang po nating malaman, may update na po ba regarding the program's budget, Mr. Speaker Ginong Sponsor?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002936Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, for mentioning the EDSA Carousel Busway Project.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002937Sumulat po ang DOTR na maibalik po ang 1.7 billion na pondo dito po sa Committee on Appropriations.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002938Sana po matulungan ng Distinguished Colleague na maibalik po ang naturang pondo po for the EDSA Carousel.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002939Mr. Speaker, hindi lamang po ang mga commuter ang nananawagan para dito, pati po ang malakanyang mismo nagsabing suportado nito ang pagpopondo sa EDSA Carousel for 2027.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002940Sana po, Mr. Speaker, i-prioritize ng Committee on Appropriations sa period of amendments ng GAB,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002941ang napakahalagang pasilidad na ito.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002942Why would we cancel a program that works and serves the people?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002943Why would we cancel a program that is helping a lot of commuters every day get to work and go home to their loved ones?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002944Nakalulungkot po na kinakailangan dumating tayo sa ganitong punto na ang malakanyang padadaanin sa press release ang panawagan niya dapat sa DBM.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002945So medyo nakakabahala po yung silos na nakikita natin.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002946Punta naman po tayo dun sa isa pang Zinero.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002947Ito naman po yung Service Contracting Program.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002948Dahil po Zinero ang Service Contracting Program, ano po ang impact nito doon sa mga super at operator na sana po matutulungan ng programa?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002949Mr. Speaker, ganoon sponsor.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002950Maraming salamat po sa katanungan ngayon, Mr. Speaker, Distigy Sponsor.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002951Napakalawak po ng epekto ng kawalan ng pondo para po sa SCP or Service Contracting Program.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002952Dahil po, tatlo pong...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002953Itong sektor ang apektado.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002954Ang una po ay ang operator po ng mga public utility vehicles or na part po ng SCP at ang mga tsyuper.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002955At ang pinakamasaklap, pati po ang commuters ay apektado po sa kawalan po ng pondo dito sa SCP Program.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002956Napakalaga po nitong SCP Program para po sa tinatawag nating siguradong kita para sa mga tsyuper at operator
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002957at siguradong sakay po para sa ating mga kababayang commuter.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002958Punta naman po tayo sa isa pang Zinero kasi triple zero po ang natanggap ng ating major public transportation programs.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002959Ito po yung zero sa fuel subsidy program.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002960Ano po ang mangyayari ngayon na zero po ang pondo nito next year?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002961At paano po natin matutulungan ang mga PUV sa kabila ng tumataas na presyo ng langis?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002962Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, Distigy Colleague.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002963Dahil po sana dito sa fuel subsidy program ay maibubukod po natin ang epekto dito sa commuter dahil po isasubsidize sana ng DOTR ang increase ng presyo ng gasolina.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002964Ngunit dahil po zero ang pondo ay mapipilitan pong humingi ng tulong ang operators at mga public utility drivers para po sa karagdagang pamasahe.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002965Dito po sa...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002966At pag nag-increase po ang pamasahe, natural po, maapektuhan po ang driving public.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002967Yan po ang isang nakakalungkot pong epekto ng zero budget for the fuel subsidy.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002968Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002969Mr. Speaker, kagalang-galang na sponsor, ito pong triple zero na ito ay triple zero na parang sampal sa ating mga mananakay na publiko.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002970Zeroing out the EDSA carousel program.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002971The fuel subsidy program would mean zero support for commuters in our transport sector.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002972Napakaraming kababayan po natin ang nakikiusap na ibalik ang budget ng mga programang ito.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002973We hope that their sentiments and struggles do not fall on deaf ears.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002974Thus, Akbayan strongly manifests our support for the DOTR to restore the initially proposed budget for these very crucial programs.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002975Siguradong sakay para sa ating mga kababayang mananakay.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002976At siguradong kita para sa ating mga superot-operator.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002977Punta naman po tayo sa mga bus operators.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002978Kahapon lang po, naglabas din ang statement ang bus groups calling for the immediate lifting of LTRB's directive suspending the fare adjustment order.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002979Siyempre, nabahala po ang riding public kasi ibig sabihin ba nito?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002980ay pagtaas ng pamasahe na mga kababayan natin nagbubus po uwi ng probinsya para makapiling ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002981Ayon po sa kanilang statement, this is not a threat to stop operations.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002982This is a notice that operations may soon become impossible.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002983Provincial and city bus companies are bleeding costs just to keep up with high operating expenses.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002984Ano po ang tiguan ng DOTR dito, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002985Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, ang sagot po rito ng DOTR ay ang continuous lobbying for the budget proposal to be funded for its implementation that shall directly benefit the public utility buses.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002986Ang isa pong possible na intervention po ay ang monthly amortization subsidy or the financial support, more or less P20,000 per month for the per modern unit.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002987Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, paano naman po yung mga provincial buses na nabanggit po natin na naglabas po ng statement kahapon? Kasi lubha pong nakababahala ito para sa mga kababayan natin na umuuwi ng probinsya para makapiling ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay na mga nagtatrabaho po sa ating mga city centers.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002989patuloy po, ongoing po, ang constant dialogue sa mga provincial buses.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002990Sa kasalukuyan po, may binigay po ang DOTR na free toll fee sa mga provincial buses sa expressway po.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002991Mayroon pa po ba tayong kailangang programa na i-put in place para tiyakin na mapuprotektahan po natin ang ating mga mananakay
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002992mula po sa pagsirit pataas ng pamasahin ng ating mga biyahe pa uwi ng probinsya?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002993Sa kasalukuyan po, tinatalakay dito sa dialogo ng DOTR at ng mga PUV operators na maisama po sa P450,000,000 fuel discount po na programa ng DOTR na more or less mga P12 per liter.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002994Sa kanyang po ba ay funded itong programang ito?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002995Funded po itong P450 million
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002996With the help of Department of Energy, Distinguished Colleague, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002997Paano po sa 2027?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-002998Depende na po yan kung matulungan po ng Kongreso na mapondohan ang fuel subsidy, Distinguished Colleague, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-002999Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, I cannot overemphasize the need to fund the fuel subsidy.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003000The fuel subsidy program, malaki po ang impact nito sa ating mga mananakay na natatakot po sa taas ng presyo ng anambilihan, may pagtaas pa ng presyo ng pamasahin at hindi pa tumataas ang sweldo.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003001Mula po dito sa takot natin sa pagtaas ng presyo ng pamasahin, punta naman po tayo sa takot ng maraming mga kababayan natin everyday because of road safety of our commuters and pedestrian.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003002Ang datos po ng PSA, pinapakita na ang road crashes are the leading cause of death.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003003For young Filipinos aged 15 to 29 years old.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003004Gusto po natin malaman mula sa DOTR, how is the Philippine Road Safety Action Plan or PRSAP being implemented by DOTR?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003005Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, sa kasamaang palad, wala pong nakalaang pondo for the Road Safety Action Plan.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003006Pero may programa po sana ang naisip ng DOTR.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003007Na makipag-ugnayan sa DepEd or TESDA o sa mga private or public na eskwalahan na sa tamang edad, umpisahan na po natin na ma-educate ang mga kabataan sa road safety action plan.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003008Halimbawa po, bago po mag-apply ng student permit ng isang syudyante, medyo may seminar.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003009Ang isang existing program ngayon ng DOTR ay nakapag-establish po ng Road Safety Action Park dito po sa Muntinlupa.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003010Kung saan po, recently may mga 700 students na pupunta po dito sa parke at nakikita nila kung paano ang tamang...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003011...pag-educate sa mga kabataan.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003012Halimbawa po, dito po sa parke na ito, may mga traffic lights that makikita po nila kung ano ibig sabihin po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003013Mga interactive na mga road safety mechanisms para po mainganyo po mga kabataan na mamulat ang tamang road safety action plan.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003014Ito pong nakakalagang parke ay mga more or less 20 million lang po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003015At sana po...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003016...simulan po ito sa ibang region.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003017Halimbawa po sa Cebu, sa Bohol at Iloilo.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003018Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, paano po ito masisimulan sa ibang region kung wala pong pondo?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003019Yun ang nakakalungkot po, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003020At umaasa po ang DOTR sa tulong po ng Kongreso, maipondohan po ang ganitong programa ng DOTR.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003021Mr. Speaker, inuulit ko po.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003022Road crashes are the leading cause...
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003023...of death for young Filipinos 15 to 29 years old.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003024And yet, hindi mapondohan ang Philippine Road Safety Action Plan.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003025Nakababagabag, nakakagalit, at nakakatakot.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003026Marami pong salamat sa ating pong distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-003027Marami pong salamat, Mr. Speaker.

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003038Sir.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003039The rail budget is the central story of the 2027 DOTR.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003040OTR Proposal.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003041Rail receives about
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003042197.3 billion or
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003043roughly 82% of the

asr-003048the
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003049North to South Commuter Rail
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003050and Metro Manila Subway alone
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003051accounts for about
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003052191.2
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003053billion, equivalent
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003054to 75.9
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003055percent of the entire
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003056DOTC OSEC
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003057expenditure program.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003058These two are
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003059the Philippines' major rail infrastructure
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003060project intended to create a high
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003061capacity commuter
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003062railway linking areas north
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003063and south of Metro Manila
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003064through the capital region.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003065The North to South Commuter Rail is the
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003066single largest project allocation
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003067with
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003068around
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003069123.8 billion
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003070financed through ADB
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003071and JICA loans together with
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003072the Metro Manila Subway.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003073It accounts for roughly
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003074191.3
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003075billion.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003076Hindi lang ngayon
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003077nabibigyan ng pondo ito.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003078In fact, in 2025
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003079it received 77.9
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003080billion. Nung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-0030812026, 55.3
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003082billion. Then now
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003083for 2027, it increased
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003084to 197.3
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003085billion.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003086This increase is around
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003087141.96 billion
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003088or roughly 256.5
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003089percent.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003090Naiintindihan ko that providing
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003091funding for much needed high impact
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003092projects which would improve
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003093the mass transport system in our country
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003094increases passenger mobility
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003095and will help
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003096pump prime the economy.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003097This is proper if used
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003098effectively
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003099and efficiently.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003100However,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003101rail appropriations are highly
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003102volatile because they reflect
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003103construction milestone
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003104or the loan drawbacks,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003105counterpart requirements,

asr-003106right-of-way
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003107acquisition,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003108and progress billing. This is why
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003109DOTR's fiscal risk
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003110is not only ordinary
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003111administration or administrative
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003112spending but whether
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003113enormous foreign-assisted appropriations
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003114can actually be used.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003115The next step is
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003116to complete the
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003117design and

asr-003121Now, to

asr-003122what extent
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003123and how much
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003124are we already
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003125paying for

asr-00313680 percent.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003137Ang dito po sa south segment, no? And dito po sa north segment is around 63% when it comes to the right-of-way purchase agreement.

asr-003138Okay. Kasi pagka pinag-usapan natin kung ano na yung current status, pagka sinabi natin 80%, we have to gauge it in yung different parameters.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003139Kasi pagka sinabi mo na gano'n kataas yung percentage na accomplished, how do you find yung accomplished? Na-obligate yung pera o yung in terms of progress, gano'n kahaba na ba yung train na ano, yung truck na naitayo?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003140Dahil pagka titignan natin at yung segment na tatakbuhan ng train, I don't think that…
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003141But as you said, what? 80% has been accomplished.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003142Magbabayad po ang DOTR pagka may progress na po, no? Both na-obligate po at na-disperse na po, saka lang po mapopondohan ng DOTR.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003143Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003144So, well…
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003145I understand na mapopondohan lang ito, yung parang progress billing, pero makano na yung total amount na nai-bayad natin for the North to South Commuter Railway since the project commenced?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003146At ano na yung status? Nasaan na tayo?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003147Alright.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003148Ito po yung implementation status and progress ng North-South Commuter Railway.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003149Overall, 57.11 as of July 2025, no? Overall, it's 57.11% from Malolos to Valenzuela or 82.49%.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003150And as of July 2026…
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003151The overall is 62.33%. This is from Malolos to Valenzuela or 87.8%.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003152Now, ito yung hindi ko mapagtanto. When you say 82.7% Malolos to Valenzuela, itong North to South natin, ang inaano ko nga is from Valenzuela to Clark lang.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003153Hindi pa yung…
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003154Papuntang Tutuban eh. If you say 82%, malayo ang Valenzuela sa… ang Malolos sa Clark pa.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003155So, how can it be 82%? 82% of that particular segment or 82% of the entire projected rail?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003156Ang ano po kasi is…
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003157We divide po ito by segment, no?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003158Yeah.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003159Halimbawa, N1 segment, 99.18%.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003160We're talking about ano, no? This thing is calling dalawa po ito, construction and right of way.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003161Yes.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003162When it comes to right of way, ang right of way lang po pinag-uusapan natin, N1 segment is 99.18%, N2 segment is 85.51%, and SC segment is 65.51%.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-00316364.66%.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003164Okay. Ito is with regards to the road right of way.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003165Paano naman yung construction progress per segment?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003166The reason why I'm asking is, as I mentioned earlier, itong project na ito, nagbalo na ito.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003167The integrated project cost initially was Php 440.881 billion.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003168This increased to Php 777.55 billion.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003169In 2018, and then to Php 873.61 billion in 2022.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003170Ngayon, yung pagtaas nito is halos Php 432.73 billion, approximately 98.2% yung inangat ng project cost.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003171Ang worry ko, as I mentioned kanina, this is also funded through ODA, yung loans natin, which, as we all know,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003172this year, these loans are interest-bearing.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003173So the longer that we take our time completing...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003174the project, the more we spend.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003175Distinguished colleague,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003176tama po kayo. Kaya nga po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003177humihingi kami na additional funding
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003178para po dito.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003179At sana po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003180maproteksyon na ng Kongreso
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003181na hindi po ma-defund ang itong project
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003182at sa NEP po natin.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003183At at the same time,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003184medyo nadagdagan po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003185ang haba nitong
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003186North-South Commuter Railway.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003187Well, kung nadagdagan
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003188yung haba based dun sa program
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003189ang nais gawin, I don't think
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003190it's an accomplishment. Dahil mas magandang
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003191accomplishment, kung natapos
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003192muna yung original plan,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003193then pagka umaandar yung train, ay hahabaan mo.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003194Pero kung hahabaan natin,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003195kahit na yung original
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003196plano natin, hindi pa natin naabot,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003197pinatataas lang natin yung cost
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003198ng proyekto. Because
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003199I am worried
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003200of the numerous delays that the project has
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003201encountered. Kaya nga tinanong ko,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003202kanina, how much
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003203is the government's total
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003204exposure and interest payment?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003205Kasi meron interest payment,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003206commitment fees, and penalties.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003207Dahil nga hindi natin
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003208na-meet yung ating
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003209target.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003210Tama po kayo,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003211pagka humahaba po ang
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003212section, tumataas
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003213po yung gastos, pero
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003214dumadami naman po ang commuters
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003215na makikinabang po dito.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003216No, no. Hindi po
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003217a good sponsor. Hindi po.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003218Hindi po kinukontra. Natutuwa ako
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003219na hahaba yung railway. Ang sinasabi ko,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003220mas nakakatuwa,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003221kunyari, ang original plan
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003222is from Valenzuela
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003223to Clark. Matapos
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003224yung segment na Valenzuela to Clark.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003225Tapos tsaka natin dadagdagan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003226I don't think na dapat
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003227natin ipagmalaki na kunyari,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003228Valenzuela, tapang kasinan na yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003229gagawin natin, eh hindi pa nga
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003230tayo lumalampas sa malolos.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003231So it's not an
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003232accomplishment.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003235Mr. Speaker, siguro ganito na lang
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003236kasi may mga itatanong pa ako
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003237if I can just be provided
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003238with yung data with regards
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003239to, as
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003240I mentioned,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003241the earlier data
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003242that I was asking kung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003243how much is
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003244the total government's total exposure, interest payment, commitment fees,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003245including commitment fees and penalties, at saka yung total accomplishment nung rail.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003246Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, maraming salamat po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003247Definitely, we will provide the data requested para po sa office ni Congressman Bong Suntay and to this committee.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003248Thank you very much.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003249Now, dadako naman ako sa isa pang magandang proyekto na hopefully kinakailangan taasanang matapos at kinakailangan ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003250Doon tayo sa Metro Manila Subway.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003251Actually, itong Metro Manila Subway, a big portion of this, gumadaan sa Quezon City.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003252Hindi ko lang alam kung tinamaan ang distrito ni Congressman Pumarin, pero alam ko sa V-Luna, meron kaming stasyon dyan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003253So, ang budget history nitong Metro Manila.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003254Metro Manila Subway was, way back in 2024, there was funding for this particular project in the amount of Php 68.4 billion.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003255In 2025, Php 7.8 billion.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003256In 2026, Php 20.38 billion.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003257And sa NEP natin ngayon for 2027, Php 67.44 billion or roughly a 230.8% increase.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003258So, kagaya ng karibigan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003259Ang katanungan ko, ang concern ko rin dito, like for example, the Php 67.442 billion allocation under the NEP 2027, Php 26.71 billion comes from loan proceeds, kung tama yung aking numero.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003260And then, Php 40.73 billion galing sa GOP counterpart.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003261So, the Php 67.4 billion is not a generic number.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003263It must correspond to specific 2027 contractual milestones, civil works, tunnel stations, depot work, railway system, rolling stock, consulting services, right-of-way acquisition ulit, and related counterpart obligations.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003264Now, can you provide us with the following data?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003265Kagaya nung sa North to South Railway.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003266The funds allocated, ilan na ang contractually due?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003267Kung merong progress billing dependent on construction milestones, magkano na ito?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003268Magkano na yung total road right-of-way expenditures at advance payments na ibigay?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003269Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003270Due to the extensive data that the Distinguished Colleague is asking,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003271the agency is requesting that we submit it completely by Friday of this week.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003272Okay. So, sa Friday naman makuha natin.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003273Well, the reason why I'm asking is, like the North to South Commuter Railway,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003274the subway should be judged by physical accomplishment per contract package,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003275not simply overall obligation rate.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003276Madaling i-obligate yung pera.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003277But what we want to do is to know, nasa na ba talaga tayo?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003278And when can we expect operations?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003279To happen.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003280Dahil initially, di ba, nung sinimulan yung programa way back in...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003281Kaya alam ba na, nung 2017 yata, nung sinimulan, it was supposed to be finished operational in 2025.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003282Pero iba na yung mga dates natin, di ba?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003283So, good sponsor, ano na ba yung mga milestone dates natin na tinitignan?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003284Pakiulit lang po, Distinguished Colleague, yung last question.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003285Yung ibig sabihin, when the project was initially conceptualized and started way back in 2017,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003286it was envisioned to be operational in 2025.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003287Pero for obvious reasons, hindi nangyari yan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003288Dahil hindi pa tapos yung Metro Manila Subway.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003289So, ano na yung bagong milestone?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003290Kailan na ito magiging operational?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003291At kailan magagamit yung buong linya?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003292Ang latest timetable po is matatapos po ito by 2031.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003293Last quarter of 2031.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003294Last quarter of 2031.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003295Bali hanggang saan ang magiging operational?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003296Because...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003297So, operation na po ito, Distinguished Colleague, Mr. Speaker, by last quarter of 2031.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003298So, this is five years from now?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003299Yes, Mr. Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003300So, from Valenzuela to airport.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003301From Valenzuela to airport. Okay.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003302Kaya ako tinatanong ito...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003303Or a total of 33 kilometers.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003304Dahil I'm basing it po rin from historical performance, eh.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003305Construction of new railway system repeatedly misses.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003306Yes. Program completion date.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003307In fact, hindi lang naging problema yan sa north to south commuter rail.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003308Hindi lang problema yan sa ngayon natin sa Subway.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003309Naging problema rin sa LRT at sa MRT.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003310All of them missed the target.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003311So, in fact, the department's own broader implementation history reinforces this concern.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003312The uploaded analysis notes that DOTR had the highest average delay among implementing agency.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003313In 2024, or the portfolio review, ang sinabi, ang average delay is 58.51 months.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003314So, good sponsor, ano na yung ano?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003315What steps have we taken to improve para naman ma-meet natin yung 2031 target?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003316Distinguished Colleague, Mr. Speaker, we agree.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003317Tinututukan na po na ang DOTR ang right-of-way concerns po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003318So,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003319basically, ang ibig nyo sabihin, most of the problems became right-of-way concerns at
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003320Definitely po, Distinguished Colleague, right-of-way concerns.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003321So, ano na yung bagong procedure natin para may ayos itong problema doon sa right-of-way acquisition?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003322Kung ang sinasabi natin yun lang ang problema, I think there are more problems than that.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003323But, kung ang sinasabi natin yun lang ang problema, then,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003324marami pa tayong magiging problema dahil...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003325Previously po, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003326meron pong assistant secretary for right-of-way.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003327Yan lang pong ginagawa niya araw-araw.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003328At, ang staff from around 30 naging 90 na po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003329Ito mga staff, puro po right-of-way lang ang nasa isip araw-araw, gabi-gabi.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003330Kahit po, breakfast, lunch, dinner, right-of-way ang nasa kaisipan nila.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003331Distinguished Colleague, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003332Aside from yung right-of-way acquisition, good sponsor,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003333I'm sure meron pang mga ibang problema and I think the agency should acknowledge
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003334ano pa ba yung mga ibang problema that has to be fixed.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003335Ang na-experience po ngayon,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003336kasalukuya problema is the lack of funds
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003337na during the budget legislation,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003338medyo nabawasan po ang nakalaang mga pondo para po dito.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003339Distinguished Colleague, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003340Okay.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003341And, good sponsor.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003342Sa tingin ba natin ngayon,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003343alam mo, para sa akin, napaka-importante talaga itong
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003344the mass transport system in our countries.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003345It's technically negligible.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003346Talagang, kailangan na kailangan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003347We could see that doon sa mga MRT and LRT lines kung naano kahaba yung pila.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003348In fact, this...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003349the three lines services around 1 million passenger a day.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003350Itong subway would be a big help kung matapos.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003351Nakakalungkot nga dahil naalala ko nung bata ako,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003352nakakasakay pa ako sa train ng PNR doon sa may...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003353Tutuban Station, and it goes, dati nasa sasakyan ko dahil Tiganue, Baysia yung nanay ko,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003354naabutan ko pang tumatakbo papuntang Cabanatuan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003355Then I remember, tumigil yung train, supposedly, i-upgrade, i-upgrade yung train and the tracks.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003356But for an extended period of time, habang nakatigil yung train,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003357hindi naman na-upgrade yung track, hindi rin na-upgrade yung train.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003358Yung relays na dating tinatakbuhan, binahayan ngayon ng mga tao.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003359And then nagkaroon ulit ng programa, nabubuhayin ulit yung mga train,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003360binili naman ulit yung, nag-budget na naman tayo for road right-of-way acquisition.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003361Nung nabayaran na ulit yung mga, yung lupa, yung mga tracks na natayuan ng bahay,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003362e, parang natigil na naman yung programa.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003363I remember, nung natigil yung nasasakyan ko ng Tutuban to Cabanatuan,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003364meron pang train na galing naman Tutuban to Alabang and Governor Pascual.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003365Pero yung Alabang-Calambas segment, huminto ito noong October 2023.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003366Then another suspension, yung Tutuban.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003367Yung Governor Pascual Tutuban and Tutuban-Alabang nung March 2024 naman.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003368Ang question ko, why was the train suspended, yung operations?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003369Magandang katanungan po yan, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003370Napilitan po ang PNR or Philippine.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003371National Railways and DOTR na itigil po pansamantala ito pong line na sinasabi ni Distinguished Colleague
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003372para po mapabilis ang construction ng North-South Commuter Railway.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003373Apektado po ito kung kailangan pong ipahinto ito para po mabilis matapos itong section na ito.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003374Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003375Now, tama po yan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003376At the time, the suspension was presented as temporary during the North-South Commuter Railway.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003377With partial replacement rail expected before full system completion.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003378Ang tanong ko, what is the current replacement date?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003379Kasi, hindi na nagsisimula sa Tutuban yung ginagawang North-South Commuter Railway.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003380Sinimulan sa Valenzuela eh, pero tinigil natin yung Tutuban to Calamba Operation.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003381So, kasi yung timetable now po,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003382yung points dun sa data na nakuha ko, Valenzuela to Malolos, partial service, December 2027, Malolos to Clark,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003383the fourth quarter of 2028, Clark to Solis, fourth quarter of 2031, full Clark to Calamba, third quarter of 2023.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003384This means, a substantial part of the former Metro Manila PNR corridor remains without replacement
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003385and has been left like that for years after the March 2024 shutdown.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003386So, ano ngayon?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003387Ano yung timetable natin to build this segment?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003388Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, salamat po sa katanungan na yan.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003389Ang timetable po ngayon for that...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003390North section alone is
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-0033912,033 po matatapos.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003392Kasama yung
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003393full operation na po ito.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003394Now, how do we
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003395explain that now?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003396There was a train running
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003397in that particular segment.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003398Tapos sinabi natin
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003399to save
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003400para makatulong
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003401mapabilis yung paggawa ng North to South
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003402Commuter Railway, ititigil
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003403muna natin yung operations.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003404Pero,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003405hindi naman tinamaan yung segment
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003406na yun, pero hinutu natin yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003407pagtakbo ng train.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003408Of course, there were passengers
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003409displaced.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003410Mr. Speaker, Distinguished
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003411Colleague, ang kapalit naman po nito
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003412ay kung gagamitin natin po yung
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003413existing line po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003414na nabanggit ng Distinguished Colleague
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003415na dati sinasakyan, ay makakatipid
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003416po ang DOTR
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003417sa right of way, dahil
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003418ito na po ang existing
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003419line na gagamitin
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003420ng future North
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003421segment ng
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003422North and South Commuter Railway.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003423Good sponsor, Mr. Speaker. I fully understand and I agree with you,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003424makakatipid yung gobyerno. Ang tanong ko,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003425hindi pa naman tinamaan,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003426hindi pa gagamitin yung segment
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003427na yun. Bakit hinintu yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003428train? Sana
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003429pinandar muna yung train para hindi na
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003430displaced yung mga pasahero,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003431eh hindi naman pala dun magsisimula yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003432paggawa ng North to South Commuter Railway.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003433Sinimulan dun sa Balenciaga,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003434mas may alay.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003435Mr. Speaker, Distinguished
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003436Colleague, may existing
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003437contractor na po, mga contractor
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003438na nagtatrabaho
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003439dito sa segment na ito
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003440na kasulukuyang nakahinto,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003441it's a live contract, so
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003442ongoing po yung construction
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003443as of today.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003444Yung concern ko was, kasi of course
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003445because the train,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003446because the operations of the train were suspended,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003447now,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003448there are now renewed
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003449movements coming from some informal
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003450settlers to
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003451occupy again yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003452certain segments of the
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003453rail.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003454Eh diba, nag-undertake na yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003455PNR and DOTR ng
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003456fencing and clearing alignment, eh,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003457precisely to prevent occupation
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003458ng road
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003459right-of-way na
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003460which it already acquired.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003461Pero ngayon, yan na naman yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003462magiging problema natin.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003463So, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003464Colleague, yan po yung give and take
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003465na kailangan harapin
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003466ng agency po, no?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003467So, you win some, you lose some.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003468Puro-lose tayo dito.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003469Kasi,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003470uminto yung train, kung hindi
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003471nagagawa yung segment,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003472ma-occupy na naman
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003473yung relish,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003474then gagastos na naman yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003475gobyerno. So, kailan ba talaga
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003476sisimulan yung train?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003477At meron ba nagbabantay,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003478dun sa mga portions na yun,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003479nagagamitin natin eventually
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003480para hindi ma-occupy?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003481Mr. Speaker, Distinguished
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003482Colleague, tama po, no?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003483The DOTR guarantees
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003484na may existing na
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003485backwood na po ito.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003486May perimeter fence na po ito.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003487Hanggang saan po?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003488So,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003489from Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003490from Manila to Calamba,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003491may existing perimeter fence na po ito?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003492Well, I
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003493I hope,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003494I pray na merong
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003495existing perimeter fence nga.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003496Dahil,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003497what we don't want to happen
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003498is later on, in the coming years,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003499babalik na naman yung DOTR at
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003500sasabihin, kailangan na naman natin ng pera
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003501para ma-reacquire
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003502natin yung road right of way na naman
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003503nung mga segments na ito.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003504Which have already
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003505been cleared. Dahil
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003506alam naman natin, napakabilis
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003507ma-occupy pagka
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003508wala pong nagbabantay.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003509Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003510Mr. Speaker, tama po kayo.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003511Hindi na po natin kakailanganin itong
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003512road right of way
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003513in the future.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003514Okay. So, lastly,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003515I was happy, actually, that
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003516the
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003517Congressman,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003518Percy,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003519already raised this. Dahil nabasa ko rin
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003520ito the other day sa Jaryo.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003521It was actually the
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003522statement of the
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003523bus operators
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003524and drivers. I think,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003525diba ba, September 22, this
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003526captures the operators' position.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003527In fact, hindi lang position ito
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003528ng mga bus operator.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003529Position ito ng mga
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003530operators at driver ng modern
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003531jeepney. Position ng mga
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003532PUJ driver.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003533So, the drivers natin and operators,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003534position rin ng mga taxi operators.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003535In fact, pati yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003536angkas, they have similar
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003537positions na rin eh.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003538Siguro, yung mga bus operator
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003539na lang natirang may pera, kaya sila
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003540yung nakapaglabas ng
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003541one-page na appeal.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003542Because fuel represents roughly
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00354345 to 60 percent of
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003544operating costs. Current regulated
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003545fares have not kept pace
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003546with operating
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003547expenses and operators face fuel.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003548Well, financing, maintenance, insurance
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003549and, well, toll and labor
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003550costs. Just currently, dito lang
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003551sa NCR, yung minimum wage was
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003552increased to 755 for non-agricultural
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003553employment under
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003554the latest wage order.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003555In fact, there's another tranche
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003556under wage order 27.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003557Ito nga yun eh. Nauna pa yung wage order
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00355828 i-implement pero
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003559kesa sa 27. But
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003560wage order number 27,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003561baka sa January, malift yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003562TRO. Malaki talaga
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003563yung problema ng mga operator. In fact,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003564kung makikita nyo, kung dati,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003565kung sumasakay kayo ng mga taxi,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003566yung mga dating
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003567fleet operator ng taxi, wala na.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003568Practically,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003569it's a dying
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003570industry. Because,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003571well, of course,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003572it's a balancing act.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003573Fares has to be balanced.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003574Affordability sa passengers, but at the
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003575same time,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003576the ability of the operators,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003577and the drivers to
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003578earn. Kasi,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003579kung makikita natin,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003580ang question ko,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003581hinold na naman yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003582ano eh, kaya nag-appeal na yung mga
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003583bus operators.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003584In fact, I think it's a
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003585similar appeal ng mga jeep at saka
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003586ng mga taxi.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003587Hinold yung fair increase.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003588So, ano yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003589plano? Because,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003590as I mentioned, it has to be balanced.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003591Naiintindihan ko that it will affect
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003592pag tinaasan mo yung pasahe,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003593maapektuhan yung mga mananakay.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003594Pag hindi mo naman tinaas at hindi natin
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003595consider yung kalagayan ng mga
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003596operator at driver, mawawala
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003597naman yung mga bus, jeep,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003598mga taxi na bumabiyahe.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003599Baka it would, we would
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003600end up having a bigger problem.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003601So,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003602what is
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003603the program? Ano yung,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003604what do we intend to do?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003605So,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003606mayroon.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003607Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003608ang DOTR
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003609ay pumihi po

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003611sa Kongreso
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003612para po mapondohan
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003613ang proposal nila na
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003614para makakatulong po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003615dito sa mga bus operators,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003616PUV operators,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003621at madagdagan pa po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003622ang fuel
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003623discount. At last resort
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003624na po, kung talaga pong hindi
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003625mapopondohan, ay may
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003626ongoing pong dialogue
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003627between the operators, drivers, and
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003628DOTR and LTFRB
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003629na kung
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003630gaano po kataas ang
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003633ang Kongreso na fuel
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003634subsidy at SCP
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-003636With the indulgence of,
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-003637Honorable Suntay,
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-003638please wrap up.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003639Malapit na. But,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003640you know,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003641we always resort to
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003642subsidies.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003643And,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003644sinabi na nga ng mga operator,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003645hindi sila naghihingi ng ayuda.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003646Ang gusto nila is
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003647a long-term policy.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003648Economically,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003649government should be able
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003650to compare at least four values.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003651Fiscal cost of the subsidy,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003652kaano ba ginagastos ng gobyerno
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003653para dyan sa subsidy na yan?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003654The number of passengers protected
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003655from higher fares?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003656Pagka-iintu natin yung fare increase?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003657Revenues required to keep
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003658an adequate fleet operating
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003659on the part of the operators and the driver?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003660Is it realistic?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003661O talagang dahan-dahan natin
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003662silang pinapatay dahil gusto ng gobyerno
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003663na
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003664ma-maintain lang ang mababang
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003665pasahe para pogi tayo sa tao,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003666sa mananakay?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003667So,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003668then,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003669yung administrative leakage
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003670ng gusto natin gawin,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003671yung pagbibigay ng subsidy at saka
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003672ng ayuda.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003673So, without that comparison,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003674the choice between subsidy and fare adjustment
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003675remains discretionary.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003676So, the question is,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003677when is subsidy more efficient
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003678than fare adjustment?
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-003679Final response from the sponsor.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003683So, there should be a long-term
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003684program, a policy on this.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003685Dahil the existing approach
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003686combines regulated fare, modernization,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003687targeted subsidy, and route regularization.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003688But the
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-0036892026 episode exposes
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003690the unresolved trade-off. A fare
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003691freeze protects commuters in the short
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003692run. But if operating
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003693revenues persistently
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003694falls below economic
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003695efficient cost
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003696for operating the fleet,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003697then papatayin naman natin
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003698lahat ng
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003699PUJ operators natin.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003700Baka walang matirang bumabiyahi
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003701sa kalsada. It would be a bigger problem.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003702So, what is the long-term
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003703policy that the agency
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003704plans, the department?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003705Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003706out of respect
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003707to our distinguished colleague, I will answer
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003708his question even if it's time expired
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003709already. Thank you very much. Good
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003710sir. Tama po yan.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003711Kasi pagka fuel
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003712subsidy po, at least hindi po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003713masyado apektado ang
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003714commuter. Unlike po kung
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003715fare increase, dapat po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003716tingnan po natin ang
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003717effect po. Hindi po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003718tumataas ang sweldo ng ating mga commuters
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003719pero tapos
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003720dadagdagan pa ng
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003721inflation na increase na around 6.1%.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003722So,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003723ang fare increase ay
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003724napaka laki po ng efekto sa
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003725pamilya ng mga commuters.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003726Kaya po, iniiwasan ng DOTR
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003727na
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003728matackle po, mapag-usapan po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003729yung fare increase.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003730Humingi po kami ng tulong
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003731na balagdagan dito po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003732sa more or less a fuel subsidy
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003733at sa service
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003734contracting program. Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003735distinguished colleague. Kasi dyan na
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003736naman tayo nakakonsentrate sa subsidy.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003737In fact, that is the problem. Kasi
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003738kagaya ng sinabi, yung fuel
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003739subsidy that we want to give is
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00374010 pesos per liter.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003741When the last fare increase was given,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003742diesel prices
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003743was at 54 pesos.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00374494 na ngayon. In fact,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003745in some areas, baka
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003746next week, lalampas ng isandaan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003747So, the 10 pesos is nothing.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003748And we cannot keep on subsidizing
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003749it. That should be a program that
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003750we intend to do. In fact,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003751dun sa modernization program, madaming
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003752madaming
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003753umiyak dahil
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003754they were encouraged to buy the modern
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003755jeep, hoping
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003756for that subsidy in
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003757buying the modern fleet. Pero hindi naman
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003758rin nila nakuha.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003759Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, kaya nga po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003760last resort na po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003761hindi lang po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-00376210 pesos ang fuel subsidy
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003763fuel discount
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003764dinagdagan po, naging 12 pesos po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003765At talaga po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003766last resort na po ang
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003767fuel fare increase
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003768para naman po
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003769hindi po maging pabigat sa
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003770nakakarami ng mga
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003771commuters or the riding
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-003772public.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-003773Thank you, Honorable Ongchuan

asr-003774and Honorable Suntay. Majority Leader.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003776very much, Mr. Speaker. And
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003777lastly, I hope, well I thank
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003778the good Secretary,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003779but I hope hindi lang subsidy.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003780In fact, hindi lang, what
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003781we could resort to is not just fare increase
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003782or fuel subsidy, but there should be
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003783more.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003784Alam ko madaming matatalino sa
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003785Departamento niyo, kailangan mag-isip pa tayo
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003786ng ibang paraan between
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003787fare increase and fuel subsidy.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003788Kasi kung yun lang ang choice
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-003789nang binibigay natin. Majority Leader.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003832na ipagtanggol ang ating maritime domain at ang ating mamamayan.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003833Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor, I will now proceed with some questions regarding Marina's role in maritime safety.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003834Under the 2027 NEP, Marina has a P904 million budget for the Maritime Industry Regulatory and Supervision Program.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003835Mr. Sponsor, maari bang i-elaborate kung ano-ano ang mga sakop ng programang ito?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003836Kasama ba rito ang patungkol sa
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003837vessel safety and inspection?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003838Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003839ang P904 million over ship and shipyard registration,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003840safe areas documentation and certification,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003841accreditation and monitoring of safe areas education and training programs
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003842in ship safety regulatory and enforcement, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003843If vessel safety and inspection,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003844inspection is included, how much is the specific allocation po?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003845Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, total of 61.268 million for ship inspection and enforcement.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003846Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003847Distinguished Sponsor, as of date, ilang vessels ang na-deny ng certification o na-suspend dahil sa safety deficiencies?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003848Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, MARINA will provide
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003849information as well as require the regional offices to submit data to your office.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003850Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003851Can Marina provide data regarding this including the particular violations that resulted in denial or suspension?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003852Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, the same.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003853MARINA will also provide information as well as require
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003854the regional offices to submit the data also.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003855Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003856Maraming salamat po, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003857Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, dahil nabanggit ko na ang tungkol sa mga safety deficiencies,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003858dadako naman ako sa MV June Astor Tragedy kung saan 77, ulitin ko po, 77 na ang naitalang namatay.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003859Recently, it was reported that the ship's captain voluntarily surfaced and appeared before the authorities.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003860Sa mga press statements din,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003861nabanggit na Department of Transportation mismo ang nag-i-investigate ng nasabing kaso.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003862Given this development, may formal findings na po ba ang DOTR kung ano ang rason o sanhi ng trahedya?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003863Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003864Interim Marine Casualty Investigation is available but final report is expected to be completed by end of this month.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003865Since wala pa pong final,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003866ano po kaya ang timeline sa investigation at overall resolution ng case?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003867Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003868ang safety certificate ng dalawang operating vessel ng Atienza Ferries were suspended.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003869Thus, they are not allowed to operate, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003870Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003871May suspension o revocation na po ba ang...
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003872let's say licenses or permits na ginawa ang marina kaugnay sa trahedya kasama ang iba pa nilang mga barko kung sakaling mayroon man?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003873Mayroon na po, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003874Ang dalawang operating vessel ng Atienza Ferries ay suspended na po sa ngayon at hindi na po sila hinahayaang makapaglayag.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003875Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003876Good sponsor, maaari bang ipaliwanag bakit hindi grinound immediately ang fleet ng Atienza Interisland Ferries Incorporated na operator ng MV June Aster habang ongoing ang investigation?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003877Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003878ang iba pong operating na vessel ng Atienza were subjected to verification, inspection, and subsequently safety certificate were suspended.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003879And now...
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003880not operating.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003881Number two,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003882marina has no existing policy on fleet suspension or walang automatic suspension ng lahat ng barko.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003883Suspension depends on the result of compliance verification per vessel.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003884And number three,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003885this is the first very serious incident involving Atienza ships.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003886Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003887Maraming salamat.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003888Sa pagklaro po dito, no?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003889Ano ba ang mga requisites bago mag-ground ang fleet ng isang shipping company or operator?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003890Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003891Number one,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003892fleet suspension or grounding will be implemented if the safety management system of the company is found to be uncompliant with international safety management code.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003893Number two, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003894major safety deficiencies,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003895on all vessels of all the particular company,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003896major deficiencies are identified in the marina ship safety survey manual.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003897Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003898As a follow-up po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003899kung hindi pwedeng i-ground ang fleet ng isang company na involved sa isang shipping tragedy,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003900ano ang hakbang na ginagawa ng DOTR at marina to ensure na ang remaining vessels ng isang shipping company,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003901ay seaworthy?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003902Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003903magkakandak po ng safety verification inspection of the company's vessel.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003904Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003905Ano po ang immediate reforms na ipapatupad ng marina matapos ang trahedyang ito?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003906Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003907number one, reiteration of the safety protocols,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003908particularly,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003909the conduct of emergency,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003910emergency readiness evaluation.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003911Number two,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003912fast-track the issuance of rules on the carriage of EVs and HEVs.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003913Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003914Under the 2027 NEP for the Maritime Industry Promotion and Development Program,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003915target ng marina na magkaroon ng seven policies formulated, updated, issued,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003916and distributed.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003917Good sponsor, can marina confirm if the target has been reached?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003918Yes po, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003919Ano-ano rin po ang mga policies na pinormulate at in-update ng marina sa taong ito?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003920Meron po tatlo tungkol po sa SECW.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003921Maritime Education and Training ng mga seafarers.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003923Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003924this representation would like to request a copy of all the data related to this policy, po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003925Can the DOTR and Marina commit to provide them before we move to the second reading of the GAA?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003926Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003927Marina will submit the necessary document to your office.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003928Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003929Good sponsor,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003930na-reflect na ba or nakapag-reflect na ba sa mga policies na ito
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003931ang mga dapat sinupin base sa mga naging aral ng MV
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003932Trisha Kerstin 3 Tragedy at MV June Aster Tragedy na parehas nangyari ngayong taon?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003933Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003934lahat ng ito po ay nakita.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003935At isa po sa counter-measure na ginawa ng ahensya ay tinaasan po ang fines and penalties
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003936pag-ating po sa mga violation ng mga kumpanya,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003937nag-violate po pag-ating po sa mga nangyaring aksidente o insidente.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003938Nagsasagawa ba ang Marina ng stakeholders consultation bago maglabas ng bagong policies?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003939O ito ay para matiyak na ang reforms ay grounded sa aktwal na karanasan ng industriya at nangyari?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003940Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, nagsasagawa po sila lagi.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003941Finally, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003942given repeated tragedies and the billions allocated for regulation and supervision,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003943how can Marina assure the Filipino people that its mandate will translate into real safety outcomes,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003944not just paper compliance and post-incident reforms?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003945Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003946ang Marina ay nagbibigay ng mahigpit na patakaran at nagbibigay ng mahigpit na at seryosong penalties
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003947sa lahat na magba-violate ng safety ng mga mananakay natin.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003948At nagpo-focus sila sa mga drills at ang actual na implementation ay pinatutupad nila
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003949sa mga kumpanya ng barco at sa mga mananakay.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003950Sana nga po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, ipagpatuloy natin kung ganito nga po talaga ang kanilang ginagawa
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003951at sana maging lesson na rin po sa Marina yung naging dalawang trahedya ngayong taon sa ating bansa.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003952Hindi po basta-basta yung isang pamilya na mawalan po ng kanyang minamahal sa buhay.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003953Imagine nyo po, 77 lives, tapos iba pa yung sa MB3 siya, Kirsten 3.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003954In closing, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003955karapatan ng bawat manggagawa, magulang at batang sumasakay sa mga barco at ferry
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003956ang marating ang kanilang destinasyon ng ligtas at buhay.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003957Basic na sana ang safety at hindi kailangan pang pakiusapan
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003958kada umakyat sa barco ang ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003959Pinagkatiwala nila ang kanilang buhay sa mga passenger lines
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003960responsibilidad ngayon ng DOTR na isigurong hindi binabarat, hindi tinitipid
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003961at hindi binibigo ang ating mga kababayan ng mga passenger companies na kumikita ng milyon-milyon.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003962Panahon na upang tiyakin ng Marina at ng DOTR na bawat pisong inilalaan natin
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003963ay magbubunga ng tunay at kongkretong proteksyon para sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003964Maraming salamat.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-003965Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker. Maraming salamat, Distinguished Sponsor.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003973Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003974Natanggap ng aming office ang status report ng relocation sites para sa project affected persons ng railway projects ng DOTR.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003975At batay sa kanilang ulat, may ipapatayo na 27,333 units para sa mga maapektuhan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003976Ibig sabihin po ba nito, nasa 27,333 households din ang ating project affected household sa lahat ng mga railway projects?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003977Mr. Speaker, Distribute Colleague, tama po kayo.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003978Maraming salamat. At batay din sa inyong...
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003979Na ibigay na ulat, may mga proyekto na may phase 2 na naghihintay pa ng availability of funds.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003980At marami dito ay sakop ng mga proyekto na ang partner agency ninyo ay ang National Housing Authority.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003981Maari po ba natin malaman mula sa ating distinguished sponsor kung paano maapektuhan ang bilis o bagal ng pag-relocate,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003982ng kawalan ng pondo ng mga relocation?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003983At sa mga location site na ito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003984Lalong-lalo na, dito po sa South Long Haul Project, meron po tayong apat doon sa anim na mga proyekto
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003985ang naghihintay pa ng availability ng funds para sa pagtatapos nito para sa phase 2 ng mga proyekto na ito.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003986Mr. Speaker, Distribute Colleague, tama po kayo.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003987May mga maapektuhan po tayo dahil po doon sa availability ng fund.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-003988Pero ang DOTR po ay hindi po gumagalaw ng isang proyekto kung wala pong malinaw na paglilipatan ang ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003989Maraming salamat, Aguinoong Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003990At nananawagan din po tayo bilang pangunahin natin na public housing production agency.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003991Ang NHA.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003992Napakalaki din po ng kaltas sa kanilang pondo.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003993Marami doon sa kanilang mga...
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003994ang pangangailangan ay hindi mapupondohan para sa susunod na taon,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003995nararapat lang na bigyan natin ng prioridad ang mas malaking pondo para sa National Housing Authority,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003996lalong-lalo na po sa maraming na lista ng DOTR na mga proyekto,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003997marami hindi matatapos kung wala po ang pondo ng kanilang partner agency tulad ng NHA.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003998Ngayon naman, nabanggit din ng DOTR sa budget briefing dito sa House of Representatives
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-003999na ang inyong aawardan ng mga project-affected persons ay meron ding suporta sa edukasyon,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004000sa pabahay, sa utilities ng mga nailipat na mga pamilya at mga bata.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004001Maari ba natin malaman, halimbawa, lahat ba nitong 11.28% na naawardan na po ng mga houses?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004002Sa mga housing units, lahat ng kanilang nilipatan, kumpleto ba ng pasilidad para sa paaralan?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004003Mr. Speaker, Mr. Colleague, kumpleto po sila ng pasilidad para po sa kanilang pangailangan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004004Kung gayon, Mr. Speaker, hihingi na rin po natin yung detalye na ma-isumite na rin sa ating Committee on Appropriations
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004005at sa representasyon na ito, yung detalye ng availability ng educational facilities.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004006Gayon din, sinabi nyo, meron din kayong support for livelihoods.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004007Mayroon din supporta para matiyak na meron talagang utilities sa mga lugar na yan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004008Yan po ay pangkaraniwan, madalas na problema sa maraming relocation site.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004009Kumpleto po ang bahay na award na pero walang kuryente, walang tubig at wala rin kabuhayan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004010Kaya yung nangyayari, yung mga dapat ay lilipat na ay hindi po agad makalipat.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004011Kaya ayan po ang hihingi na detalye ng representasyon na ito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004012Marami po yung mga proyekto.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004013Kunti na lang, meron din kayong, sinabi sa budget briefing na meron kayong nasa 10,000 to 15,000 per family
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004014na assistance na binibigay.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004015Pwede ko po bang malaman kung saan nyo kinukuha yung particular financial assistance na ito
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004016para sa project affected persons?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004017Sinabi nyo po ito sa budget briefing.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004018Mr. Speaker, Mr. Colleague, galing po ito sa Right of Way Fund
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004019at sa GOP funds.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004020Mr. Speaker, meron din bang pondo para sa mga child development centers?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004021Oo, nandyan po yung mga malapit na mga paaralan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004022Pero paano po yung mga bata na nasa edad na para po sa ating mga daycare?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004023Ito po bang mga relocation sites ay meron ding itatayo o naitayo na child development centers?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004024Lahat po ba ng mga relocation sites ay maasahan natin na meron ito?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004025Lahat po ito ay meron po silang fund.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004026Maraming salamat.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004027At yung binigay po sa atin na ulat, ang nakalagay lang ay mga syudad,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004028yung mga general, mas hindi po ganoon kadetalyado yung mga addresses,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004029yung mismong location, na is po sana natin macheck din.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004030Halimbawa, kung malapit ba sila dun sa previous nila na mga tahanan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004031Ang atin po kasing panawagan dito sa ating kapulungan,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004033dapat talaga first recourse sa kahit anong relocation, resettlement,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004034dapat ka hindi resettlement kasi dapat hindi po malayo dun sa kanilang dati na tinitirahan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004035Yung on-site relocation, yung on-site na lilipatan, mas mainam,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004036para hindi po ganoon ka maiistorbo yung pag-aaral, yung trabaho, yung kabuhayan
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004037ng ating mga kababayan na gusto rin naman ng pag-unlad,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004038pero dapat nga ay kasama sila doon sa mga proyekto.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004039Ngayon naman, ginuong speaker, ang DOTR ay miyembro ng Uplift Committee.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004040At nitong linggo lang, binalitaan tayo ng DOE na sila ay nagpasa na ng certification
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004041sa ating economic managers na lumagpas na, umabot na dun sa threshold ng 80 USD,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004042Dubai crude oil price, na dapat trigger, para ko patulak ang paggamit,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004043ang emergency powers ng Presidente sa pagsususpindi, pagbabawas ng excise tax rates sa mga petroleum products.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004044Kahapon, nag-anunsyo na may suspension, pero para lang sa LPG at kerosene.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004045Maari ba nating malaman kung ano ang recommendation ng DOTR sa Uplift Committee
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004046pagdating sa pagsususpindi, pagbabawas ng excise tax sa lahat ng petroleum products?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004047Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004048Mr. Colleague, wala po kaming recommendation kasi ito po ay beyond our mandate.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004049Mr. Speaker, di po ba ang kayo ay isinama bilang miyembro ng Uplift Committee
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004050sa visa po ng executive order na may kinalaman din sa pagdedelara State of National Energy Emergency
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004051dahil nakita na po sa pagpaplano, sa pagdedesign,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004052ng ating pagtugon sa pagsirit ng presyo ng langis ay lubos na apektado ang sektor ng transportasyon.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004053Bakit po wala po kayong rekomendasyon?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004054Kayo po ay nilagay doon sa committee para nga po malaman ano ba yung impact sa transport sector,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004055ilan bang mga drivers, operators, mga kumpanya, yung lubos na umaaray dahil sa taas ng presyo ng langis.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004056Dapat may malinaw po na rekomendasyon ng DOTR.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004057Ito po ay mismo umuupo doon sa mga pinapatawag na pagpupulong ng napakahalaga na committee na ito.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004058Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004059ang DOTR po ay limitado po ang aming kakayanan pagdating po sa inyo pong nabanggit
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004060dahil kami po ay nakafocus po sa mga mananakay natin at sa ating transport sector.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004061Pagdating po doon po sa mga taxes, ito po ay labas sa aming pong mandato.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004062Pero ginong Speaker, tama po ba na kapag kayo po ay nagsalita,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004063halimbawa na daan-daan po natin ang mga duty drivers na naglulunsad ng transport strike
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004064para manawagan na dapat mas mapababa yung presyo ng langis,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004065na hindi sapat ang mga fuel subsidies, na maraming nangangailangan,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004066na dapat mas malawak yung coverage ng anumang mga assistance na ating pinapanawagan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004067Dapat.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004070Ang DOTR ang aasahan na dapat magsalita dyan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004071Doon po sa kanina pa binabanggit ng ating mga kasamahan na umaaray din
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004072ang mga provincial at city buses pagdating sa kaas ng presyo ng langis
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004073na ito ay nasa 40 to 60 percent ng cost ng kanilang operations,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004074hindi po ba gagalaw at hindi po ba dapat nagsasalita pangunahin ang DOTR
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004075sa ganitong kalagayan sa loob ng napakahalaga ng committee na ito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004076Ibig sabihin lang, Mr. Speaker, hindi po dapat hayaan na lang ng DOTR.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004077Halimbawa ang DOE na nag-certify na ang Department of Finance ang magdesisyon tungkol dito sa usapin ng buwis.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004078Dapat sila mismo ang magkaroon ng malinaw na posisyon tindig para po magkaroon ng paggamit ng emergency power
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004079para po pansamantala muna na masuspindi ang excise tax, lalong-lalo na po sa diesel at gasolina.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004080Nang galing din dito, Mr. Speaker, ang Department of Agriculture at sila po malinaw ang kanilang posisyon
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004081bilang member din ng uplift na dapat nga hindi lang excise taxes sa oil ang ating tatanggalin,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004082ang ating pansamantalang babawasan, dapat nga pag-aralan din ng DOF ang pagtatanggal ng 12 percent na value-added tax.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004083Kaya dapat po kung wala pa na nakakabahala po na walang malinaw,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004084sabay na posisyon, hinahamon po natin ang DOTR dapat kayo po mismo na tumindig,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004085kasama ng maraming nananawagan ngayon, dapat agaran na aksyonan ang pagpapababa ng presyo ng langis.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004086Mr. Speaker, Mr. Colleague, ang DOTR po ay kaisan nyo dun po sa inyong panawagan na mapababa natin ang presyo po ng ating pong langis.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004087Pero dun po sa usapin pag-ating po sa buwis.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004088At hindi po kaya ng mandato ng DOTR na diktahan o mag-gumawa ng isang bagay na hindi po abot dun po sa kakayanan ng DOTR.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004089Mr. Speaker, hindi po natin hinihingi na yung DOTR ang mag-suspende ng excise tax sa petroleum products o mag-suspende ng koleksyon ng vat.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004090Kasi malinaw po.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004091Sabi nyo wala po yan sa kapangyarihan ng DOTR.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004092Pero bilang boses ng sektor ng transportasyon sa loob ng Uplift Committee, makakatulong po sa pagkumbinse, sa paghamon, sa pagsingil din po sa ating economic managers
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004093na huwag naman po sanang maipasan lahat sa taong bayan na lang yung bigat po ng taas ng presyo ng langis.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004094Sa bahagi din po ng pamahalaan, kailangan sa atin din po.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004095Bahagi ng pagsasakripisyo.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004096Tutal, yung excise taxes lang naman po ang gagalawin ng emergency powers.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004097Kundi, nandyan pa rin po yung vat.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004098Sa presentation nga po ng DOF dito sa ating kapulungan, mao-offset din naman ng pagsususpende ng excise tax yung patuloy na koleksyon ng 12% vat.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004099Dahil habang tumataas nga yung presyo kada litro, tumataas din po yung vat koleksyon ng ating pamahalaan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004100Kaya muli, dapat po may malinong na posisyon ang DOTR, tumindig, kasama po na malawak na transport sector,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004101hindi lang po drivers, operators, mga companies, lalong-lalong ng mga provincial and city bosses, pati po mga commuters.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004102Ang laki po ng epekto sa agrikultura ng taas ng presyo ng langis,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004103ang laki ng epekto niyan sa presyo din ng pagkain at mga batayang pangangailangan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004104Kaya mas maraming bosses na nananawagan na gamitin ng emergency powers para suspendehan ng excise taxes, mas makakatulong po sa taong bayan.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004105Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, lahat po ng iyong tinuran ay napakalaking bagay po para po sa DOTR.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004106At asahan niyo po na ito po ay aaraling mabuti ng DOTR para po makatulong kami sa inyong panawagan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004107Ngayon po, Mr. Speaker, narinig na rin po natin kanina yung tungkol sa fuel subsidies.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004108At sinabi niyo nga po na para po sa 2027, pagkano pong nakalaan muli para dito?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004109Zero po ito sa NEP, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004110Zero, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004111Sa panahon po na wala rin po tayong maaasahan talaga na sapat na mapagkukuna na pondo,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004112hindi lang ngayon, kundi sa susunod na taon, ganoon po kahalaga, ganoon po kakritikal yung
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004113reforme pero yung agalan po na pagbabago sa taxation na may kinalaman sa langis.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004114Sa ngayon po, sa ating kapulungan ay marami ng mga panukala para babasura yung excise taxes sa petroleum products.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004115A gayon din yung pag-aaral at panawagan na tanggalin yung 12% VAT sa petroleum products,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004116lalong-lalong na sa diesel at gasolina.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004117Pagsama sa Price Act ng Diesel and Gasoline,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004118yan po yung ilan lang sa mga nararapat bigyan ng prioridad ng kapulungan na ito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004119Ngayon naman po, nais kong magtanong tungkol sa implementation ng bawal-bastoslo sa PUVs sa ating mga public terminals.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004120Ayon po sa LTFRB Memorandum Circular No. 2023-016,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004121obligado ang PUV operators natiyaking walang anumang gender-based sexual harassment sa loob
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004122ng kanilang mga sasakit.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004123At ng anumang insidente ay maayos na matugunan, mabigyan po ng aksyon, ma-report sa ating authorities.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004124Sa pagpapatupad po ba ng Memorandum Circular na ito, paano ito minomonitor ng LTFRB?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004125Dahil meron pong malinaw na obligation, halimbawa yung mga PUV operators na matugunan ang mga incidents ng gender-based sexual harassment.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004126Meron na po ba tayong...
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004127...maayos na mekanismo para sa reporting?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004128Meron na po ba tayong nailalagay ng mga signs, mga posters sa mga public terminals sa ating mga PUVs kung saan magsusumbong
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004129kung sakaling may insidente, kung ano ang gagawin kapag sila po ay naka-witness ng ganitong tipo ng mga pangyayari?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004130At higit sa lahat, may pakikipagtulungan na rin po ba sa ibang mga agencies para ma-refer natin yung mga nagiging biktima,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004131survivors ng gender-based sexual harassment?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004132Gender-based sexual harassment para po sa tulong medikal, legal, psychosocial, at iba pa nilang mga pangangailangan?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004133Mr. Speaker, Justine's colleague, ang LTFRB po ay nagkakandak ng mga ghost rider.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004134Naglalagay po sila ng mga ghost rider na nagmamanman po doon sa mga pasahero na makapagbigay po ng tamang report.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004135Ngayon po, naglalagay din po tayo ng hotline. Bukod po sa hotline, meron po ginagawang seminar po sa mga drivers at conductors ang LTFRB
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004136na maipaliwanag yung po kahalagahan ng anti-bastos law natin. At the same time po, kung meron po mga operators na nahuli, na hindi nag-cooperate dito po sa ginagawa po ng ahensya,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004137sila po ay papatawan ng karampatang parusa o magkakaroon po sila ng, padadala po sila ng show cause order para ipaliwanag bakit dito ay hindi nila sinuportahan ang ganitong klaseng patakaran.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004138Mr. Speaker, nag-offer po ba kayo ng mga regular at libre na training?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-004139at orientation sa mga drivers,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-004441po tayo bumaba. Ito po
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004442ay yun po lamang
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia

Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004444jeepneys po natin,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004445mga modern jeeps po natin. Kasi hindi
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004446naman po po pwedeng pumasada
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004447kapag wala pa po itong rehistro,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004448kapag wala pa po itong prangkisa.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004449So, ang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004450pero ang punot dulo po nito, Mr.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004451Speaker, good sponsor, ay mas
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004452kumonte yung pumapasada or at least
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004453registradong pumapasada.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004454Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, ano pong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004455explanation pa rin dito?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004456Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004457Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004458pumapasada po sila
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004459sa ngayon dahil may extension po
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004460binigay ang
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004461LTFRB.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004462Ito po ay
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004463may deadline po ang ano, ang
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004464LTFRB para po sa kanila.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004465So, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004466ang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004467nangyari po ba dito ay
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004468itong mga numero na ito ay
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004469mga na-register in this year
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004470and not necessarily lahat ng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004471mga units na pumapasada
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004472in that year na nakarecord po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004473sa datos ng ating
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004474DOTR. So, ano po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004475yung number of units na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004476pumapasada in a year?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004479Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004480andun pa rin po tayo sa original natin
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004481na record na 128
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004482units natin
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004483pero ito pong 110
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004484thousand natin
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004485na confirmed units
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004486ito lang po yung nakapagparehistro natin
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004487at ito pong
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-0044888,960 confirmed po na
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004489PUJs na modern ang nakapagparehistro
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004490po natin. Wala pong nabago
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004491doon po sa ating mga records dati pa.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004492Ang concern po natin, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004493good sponsor, sabihin po man natin
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004494na ito po ay
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004495registered, yung mga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004496nagbago sa registration
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004497at mga nag-register ay
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004498yung carrying capacity
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004499it might have decreased
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004500dahil mas kaunti na po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004501yung essentially legal
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004502at ina-allow
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004503ng DOTR na makapagtuloy
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004504na makapagpasada.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004505We'd like to
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004506confront the body
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004507with a quote from Acting Secretary Lopez
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004508after the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004509commuting experience
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004510that the report we're receiving that there is
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004511enough supply of public
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004512transportation is not true at all.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004513Pero sa binigay pong actually
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004514report ng DOTR mismo
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004515pagkatapos ng budget hearing, nakalagay po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004516that the current number of operational
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004517PUV units is generally
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004518deemed sufficient in meeting
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004519the passenger demand. So we'd
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004520like a clarification,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004521Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, sapat
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004522po ba o kulang ang public
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004523transport supply?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004524Sa ngayon po ay hindi
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004525naman po natin mahasabing kulang.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004526Maaari pong sabihin natin ito'y sapat
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004527pero meron pa pong dapat i-improve tayo
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004528para hindi po humahaba
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004529ang pila ng mga mananakay
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004530natin. Mr. Speaker, good
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004531sponsor, para po sa kinatawa na ito,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004532ummm
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004533separate concepts po yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004534sapat at kulang at it
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004535can communicate greatly to a public
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004536kung sasabihin natin kulang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004537siya or sapat siya and
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004538it sets expectations
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004539sa kung paano yung ease of
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004540transportation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004541at paano po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004542magiging mas favorable
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004543experience yung commuting. It could be
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004544down to dahil kulang yung supply.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004545Kung sapat yung supply, it could be down
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004546to other means. So Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004547hindi po ba
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004548gagawa ng mas permiss
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004549na stand yung DOTR?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004550Sapat po ba o kulang? Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004551distinguished colleague,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004552sapat po ang atin pong
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004553mga
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004554PUJs, PUBs,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004555pero kahit naman pong
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004556isang lugar, kapag po rush
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004557hour, talaga pong minsan
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004558ay sobrang dami
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004559po ng mananakay. Pero hindi po ibig sabihin
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004560nun ay kulang ang kakayanan ng ating
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004561transport sector. Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004562Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004563meron po bang batayan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004564na kaya nasasabing sapat
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004565ang isang public transport supply?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004566May datos po ba tayo ng daily passenger
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004567demand? Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004568Sa record ko po
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004569dito, ang ating
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004570ridership para po sa
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004571modern jeepneys po natin,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004572na base po doon sa record na binigay natin
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004573ay 400 to 450
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004574passengers per day. Ang isa po po,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004575ang jeep natin.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004576Ang traditional jeep po naman natin,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004577200 to 250
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004578passengers po per day
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004579ang kakayanan po ng isa po natin
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004580jeep. Kung meron po tayong
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004581traditional PUJs
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004582na 110,346
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004583sabihin po
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004584natin na times 400
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004585to 450. Yun po
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004586yung mabibilang natin na
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004587kapasidad. Dito
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004588naman po sa ating modern
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004589PUJs po natin,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004590na 8,160 confirmed units
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004591po natin, kung meron po
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004592tayong 200 to 250
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004593capacity na isa pong jeep sa maghapon,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004594maaari po masabi natin
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004595sufficient po ang kakayanan po
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004596ng ating mga sasakyan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004597Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004598Yung datos po na nakuha natin
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004599in a position paper ng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004600Para Commuters Network na ipinasa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004601po sa opisina ng DOTR
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004602at LTFRB nitong February
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-0046032026, meron silang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004604inilatag na estimate ng daily urban
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004605public transport users,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004606synthesized mula sa iba't ibang pag-aaral
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004607ng mga institusyon.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004608Maaari po natin din itong isumite
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004609sa DOTR para rin po sa kanilang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004610konsiderasyon, pero beyond po sa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004611ginawa rin po nila yun yung pagbilang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004612ng carrying capacity
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004613per vehicle, multiplying it
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004614by the number of trips, pero
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004615on an industry-wide
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004616perspective,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004617ang estimate po, 49 milyong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004618katao ang gumagamit ng public transportation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004619araw-araw, at 25 milyon
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004620po dito ang gumagamit ng jeep.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004621At sa ating
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004622experience, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004623pag mga kasama natin,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004624mga commuter, karamihan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004625magsasabi po na hindi po enough
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004626ang supply ng public transport dahil maraming
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004627commuter pa rin ang may long
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004628waiting hours na inexperience.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004629Mahigit isang oras,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004630para lang makasakay, patunay
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004631na itong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004632commute to work memo
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004633ay maanipang malaki ang kaya
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004634niyang i-improve para po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004635i-ensure yung commuting experience
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004636ng ating, hindi lang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004637ng mga public
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004638officials or officers, pero
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004639lahat po ng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004640recipients at
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004641tuloy-tuloy na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004642gumagamit ng ating mass transport system.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004643Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, malinaw
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004644na ang isang salik kung bakit
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004645nasisira ang public transport
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004646natin ay dahil sa papalpak
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004647na modernization program.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004648Makikita natin sinimula nung in-implement
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004649ang PUVMP at PTMP
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004650na ngayon ay nawasak yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004651supply ng public transportation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004652at sa makatuwid
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004653ang daily passenger capacity.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004654Ang halos 190,000
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004655na na-phase out na PUJs
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004656ay katumbas din po halos ng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-0046573.7 million na passenger
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004658capacity na natanggal.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004659Hindi ito kaya po ng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004660modern jeep kaya po sa mga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004661numero na naibigay natin dahil
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004662po mas kaunti din sila
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004663and therefore mas kaunti yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004664by logic and
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004665transitive property yung kanilang carrying
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004666capacity. At mas patindi pa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004667kung titignan natin yung average na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-00466810 daily trips or 5 round trips
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004669ng mga PUJs. Nawalan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004670ng mga commuter ng 38 million
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004671na daily passenger capacity
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004672dahil sa pagkawala ng 190,000
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004673PUJs, dulot ng jeep
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004674ni phase out. At nagdag
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004675pa dito yung oil price shocks
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004676noong simula ng taon na bumalik
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004677na ngayong buwan ay siguradong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004678nag-contribute din sa pagkawasak ng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004679transport supply. Sobrang kulang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004680din ang ibinigay na suporta ng DOTR
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004681sa oil price shocks dahil
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004682pili lang ang nabigyan ng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004683subsidies at ang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004684ibinigay nila ay halos 10 days worth
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004685lang po ng subsidies. Ito po yung ating
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004686lived experience sa pagkonsulta
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004687ng iba't ibang mga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004688naka-receive
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004689ng mga subsidies na ito.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004690At ngayong linggo nga lang po,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004691humingi na rin ng SACLOLO
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004692ang Provincial Bus Operators
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004693Association of the Philippines,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004694Soluboa, at ang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004695Mega Manila Consortium. Naglabas
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004696na rin sila ng kanilang mga open
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004697letters ang mga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004698bus companies mismo
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004699kagaya ng Victory Liner
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004700at ALPS. So, for
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004701me, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, it
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004702seems to me na kailangan, there's a lot
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004703of work to be done to ensure na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004704naka-carry ng ating
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004705mass transportation system yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004706daily passenger capacity.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004707Ah, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, mangihingi na lang po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004708tayo ng updated na datos tungkol po,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004709hindi lang sa mga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004710rehistradong vehicles, pero yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004711pagbilang din natin ng mga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004712dumadaloy at bumapasada
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004713sa isang araw. Kasama rin po dito,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004714siyempre yung bus, yung mga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004715provincial buses and yung mga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004716buses na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004717umiikot sa ating mga urban areas.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004718Would that be possible, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004719Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004732po bang flaws na na-identify
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004733ang DOTR
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004734sa current model ng PTMP?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia

asr-004736Mr. Speaker, distinguished
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004737colleague. Maari po

asr-004739na na-identify ng PTMP?

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004749yun din po yung mga isang rason kung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004755root rationalization at
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004756isa nga rin pong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004757target of criticism, hindi lang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004759pero kung ano yung binili,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004760na yung engine
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004761neto ay nakita,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004762yung Euro 4, na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004763hindi na po yung market standard,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004764pero baka nga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004765tayo ay
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004766tinatambakan ng supply
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004767na hindi na po nabili.

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004919company at may leasing contract
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004920na wala na po yung aspeto
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004923saan ay maaaring
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004924makapagbigay sa

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004932entity. So, pwede po bang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004934Mr. Speaker,

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004950po makaka-procure ng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004951ePUV?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004952Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, ito po'y
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004953ongoing pa lang. Wala pa pong final.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia

Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004955po pagating po sa EBIS.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004967or makapasok sa framework na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004968to?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004969Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004970tuloy pa rin po
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004971yung pag-scrap ng ating
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004972mga outdated
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004973na mga dati
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004974pong mga jeep. Pero,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004975ito rin po yung
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004976programa ng DOTR
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004977na kung saan, kung
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004978sakali pong mag-i-enroll ka
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004979dun sa modernization, yun pong inyong
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004980lumang jeep

asr-004985po yung equity
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004986ng MCD doon po sa bagong unit
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004987po na kukunin po ng isang
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-004988operator.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004989Hihingi na lang po tayo ng mas
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004990komprehensibong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004991pagtanaw ng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004992pinaproposed na bagong framework or program
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004993sa detalyadong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004994i-susumit
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004995ang dokumento ng DOTR.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004996Pero sa ngayon, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004997good sponsor, ang gusto ko po siguro
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004998i-rehistro ay
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004999standing po yung main criticisms
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005000natin ng PTMP program.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005001So, syempre, nandyan po kung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005002paano na mamonopolisa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005003yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005004ng iilan, maaaring
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005005makonsentra ng iilan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005006yung access to this kind of
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005007framework. At sa binahagi
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005008po ngayon ng ahensya,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005009maaaring at hindi pa rin
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005010natatanggal yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005011talagang posibilidad.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005012At ang nakita nga nating nangyari during
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005013yung PTMP
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005014framework na existing ngayon,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005015na may iilang malalaking korporasyon lang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005016na makakonsolida
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005017yung ibat-ibang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005018parts
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005019of the framework.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005020Mula sa small operators na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005021may kabuhayan, na mawawalan sila
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005022ng karapatan mismo na magmayari
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005023ng sarili nilang mga sasakyan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005024Instead, hawak mo ng mga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005025malalaking korporasyon, and in this case,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005026mukhang mahahawakan ng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005027leasing corporation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005028at ipapaupa lang po sa mga iilan na walang sasakyan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005029So, Madam Speaker, Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005030hingi na lang po tayo ng mas malalim na pag-uusap tungkol po sa framework na ito.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005031Ang sunod...
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005032Sige po. Okay po.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005032-split-2Um, colleague, we will submit.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005033Salamat po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005034Ang huli na lang po nating mga katanungan ay tungkol din po sa privatization ng LRT-1.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005035So, nagpapasalamat po tayo doon sa nakuha nating mga dokumento.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005036And nakita po na nga natin na NLRMC received 27 million pesos in penalties
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005037for not meeting the 97% baseline performance target nila ng 108 times simula noong 2015.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005038Parang napakababa noong 108 times.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005039Simula 2015 dahil hindi naman po nagkaroon ng ganoon na kareliable na LRT-1 base
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005040na karanasan ng mga commuter.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005041Pwede po bang makapagdetalye kung paano measured, calculated,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005042ang track, ang baseline performance target against the 97% target?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005043At ano po ba ang rational for the 97% target?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005044Mr. Speaker, this is Mr. Colleague.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005045Ang isa pong mini-measured dito ay yung number of trains every day.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005046Kasunod po dito ay yung kalinisan po ng ating mga trains na bumabiyahe po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005047Bukod dito, Mr. Speaker, napansin natin na merong halos 95 million in penalties.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005048Na yung isa sa pinakamalaki, yung violations nga po regarding elevators and escalators
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005049and yung train cleaning.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005050Paano po natitiyak yung measurement, inspection, and tracking nitong,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005051escalators and elevators at train cleaning?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005052Hindi rin po kasi aligned ang 544 counts,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005053at least kumpara sa actual na karanasan ng mga commuter.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005054Mr. Speaker, this is Mr. Colleague.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005055Ito po yung kasama sa formula na concession agreement.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005056At ito po yung kasama sa parameter na kapag po sila ang nag-takeover nito,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005057ito po yung mahigpit na binabantayan po ng pamunuan ng DOTR.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005058Paano naman po ba minamendot?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005059Second measure at kina-qualify ng DOTR ang overcrowding.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005060Nakita po natin yung mga key performance indicators at meron po dito overcrowding.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005061Wala pong nakalagay na rectification time and even failure notices issued
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005062for failure to comply with the rectification time.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005063Pero I think, ako po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005064Araw-araw ako dating nag-monumento to UN,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005065araw-araw din pong may overcrowding.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005066Pero ano po ba yung measurement?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005067Kung bakit po,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005068KPI, yung overcrowding
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005069Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005070Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chris Colley,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005071kapag po nag-overcrowding
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005072ang ating
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005073mga train, ibig sabihin po
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005074kulang po ang train na na-deploy
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005075ng ating pong
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005076concessionaire.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005077Ngayon po, kung halimbawa
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005078naman po at
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005079madalas na ganoon na nangyayari,
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005080magkakaroon po ng basihan na
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005081maaaring hindi po nag-perform ng maayos
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005082ang concessionaire po natin. Ito naman po hindi pinababayaan
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005083na bantayan ng ating pong
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005084ahensya.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005085Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005086salamat po sa pagsagot.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005087Sa huli na lang po,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005088as a final manifestation,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005089public transport should be a public
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005090service. At hindi po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005091dapat maging sarado sa kung ano man po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005092yung key performance indicators,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005093yung customer complaints
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005094ay lagi pong bukas na avenue
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005095sa LRT1.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005096At nakita po natin dito
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005097na kapag inilipat pa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005098ang control at pagpapatakbo
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005099ng public transport sa kamay ng malaking
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005100pribadong kumpanya,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005101nagiging hindi na para sa public service
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005102ang number one priority ng public transport.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005103Gayun din po yung nakikita
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005104sa EDSA Carousel ngayon,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005105na matagal ang hintayan dahil kailangan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005106pang mapuno para maghabol
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005107ng quota or targets ang bus driver
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005108kaya hindi po na ma-maximize yung exclusive
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005109busway. Marami pa po tayong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005110gustong mas maidetalyado pa,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005111pero due to lack of time,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005112this representation wants
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005113to make it clear, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005114hindi tayo against sa pag-unlad
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005115ng ating existing transport systems.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005116Ang gusto natin, inclusive
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005117at lumalawak ang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005118pampublikong transportation system
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005119natin. At ayaw po natin
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005120ng agresibong monopolisasyon
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005121na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005122inilalako at maaaring
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005123mangyari at mas lumala pa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005124with the frameworks at hand.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005125In this way, gusto natin
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005126ang local manufacturing
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005127at kaya't rehabilitation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005128kaysa sa pag-scrap ng mga lumang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005129units. At syempre,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005130pag-imbita ng ating
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005131mga local industrialization
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005132partners
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005133na dito po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005134mag-maintain na ng kanilang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005135mga pagawaan at hindi po yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005136nangyari gaya po ng San Francisco Motors.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005137Unfortunate na nagsara yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005138planta nila at
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005139gumagawa na po sa ibang bansa.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005140Yun lang naman po, Mr. Speaker, good.

asr-005157Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005158Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005159bilang unang topic,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005160tignan po natin yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005161pinakamalaking
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005162item o programa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005163sa budget,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005164proposed budget
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005165ng DOTR.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005166Of course,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005167in the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005168General Appropriations Bill,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005169out of the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005170251.59
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005171billion total
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005172appropriations,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005173232.23
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005174billion
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005175ito
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005176ay
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005177foreign assisted project.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005178So, yun po ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005179pupukusan natin sa ngayon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005180Well,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005181muna-muna,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005182magbalik tanaw tayo
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005183sa sinapit
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005184or sinasapit
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005185ng Foreign Assisted Projects
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005186item ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005187DOTR budget.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005188So, here we have from
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0051892016 to
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0051902026.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005191The light green
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005192is the proposed or NEP,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005193and then the dark green is the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005194enacted or GAA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005195So, we notice that
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005196in 2016-2017,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005197kung ano yung nakaproposed,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005198sa NEP, yun din ang enacted
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005199ng Congress.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005200Pero, simula
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0052012018
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005202and 2019,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005203ay kung ano yung pinroposed
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005204sa NEP, parang kinalahati
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005205ng Congress, binawasan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005206Okay?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005207And from then on, we see
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005208this pattern replicated, but
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005209on a larger scale.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005210From 2020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005211onwards,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005212and especially, pinakamalala po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005213nung 2024,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005214tignan natin 2024,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005215ang proposed for Foreign Assisted Projects
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005216ng DOTR,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005217P161 billion pesos,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005218ang in-approve
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005219ng Kongreso sa General Appropriations
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005220Bill,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005221P3.5 billion pesos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005222That's a 98% reduction
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005223or cut
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005224made by Congress.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005225No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005226And now,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005227so that's a pattern.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005228May malaking pinoproposed
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005229sa NEP, tapos
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005230talagang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005231binabawasan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005232sa GAA
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005233through congressional action.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005234And right now,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005235we have the highest ever
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005236proposed
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005237appropriation for
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005238foreign assisted projects
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005239and projects.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005240In the DOTR,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005241amounting to P232.23
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005242billion pesos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005243No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005244So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005245yun po ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005246issue natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005247Bakit ba
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005248ginagawa yan ng Kongreso?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005249Well, alam natin kung bakit.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005250Dahil ito yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005251easily one
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005252of the single biggest targets
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005253of Congress, as quote,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005254source of funding for
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005255congressional insertions.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005256No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005257Alam natin, merong fixed
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005258ceiling ang budget,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005259hindi pwedeng lang lagpasan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005260Diba? Sabi sa Constitution.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005261So, kung may gusto kang ipasok
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005262na bagong mga items,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005263for example,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005264Congress or Senate
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005265insertions or amendments,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005266kailangan may bawasan ka.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005267No? Mula sa ibang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005268proyekto o programa, and the easiest
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005269target,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005270among the easiest targets have been
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005271DOTR, foreign assisted projects.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005272The other one being the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005273miscellaneous personnel benefits fund.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005274Yung lump sum for
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005275personnel benefits, pang salary increase,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005276pang allowances,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005277and so on and so forth.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005278No? So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005279we saw especially pinakamalala
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005280nung 2024,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0052812023, 2024, 2025,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005282this is not a coincidence na yan din
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005283yung panahon na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005284pinakamalaki yung mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005285flood control insertions
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005286and unprogrammed
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005287appropriations
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005288for
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005289public infrastructure projects,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005290DPWH projects din.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005291No? So dito nang gagaling yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005292pondo para doon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005293So of course, ang tanong natin ay
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005294mas sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005295committee on appropriations, not
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005296Well, una muna, ano pong naging epekto sa implementation ng mga proyekto ng ganitong almost one decade where the DOTR projects, the appropriations for DOTR projects are slashed up to almost 98% by Congress.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005297Anong epekto po niyan dun sa mga major foreign assisted projects ng DOTR?
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005298Mr. Speaker, Representative Edwin Ongchuan will answer all the inquiry of Representative Tinio. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-005299Thank you.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005300Distinguished colleague.
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia
asr-005301Thank you po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005302Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005303Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, can you repeat the last portion of the question?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005304No, tanong lang po, pinakita po natin yung pattern na sa NEP, as proposed by the executive, merong amount po for foreign assisted projects.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005305Pero pag GAA na, tinatapyasan ng malaki ng GAA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005306As much as 98% in 2024, binawas.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005307So, ang tanong po natin ay, ano ang epekto nito sa mga foreign assisted projects ng DOTR?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005308Parang isang dekada na halos na ganyan yung pattern.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005309Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, that's the sad part of reality.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005310Napakalaki po ng impact nito sa project accomplishment.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005311Nagkakaroon po ng delay at lalong tatagalan na masettle ang mga right of way project.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005312At the same time, marami pong contractors ang hindi nababayaran.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005313Yung iba, two months, three months pa lang, hinto na agad yung construction.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005314So, talagang napakalaking impact po nitong mga nagiging unprogrammed foreign assisted projects.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005315Distinguished colleague.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005316Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005317So, well, obvious po yung sagot.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005318Dahil sa binabawasan yung appropriations ng NEP.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005319Napakalaki ay nadidelay yung implementation.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005320So, sabi nyo, yung right of way issues, hindi mabayaran.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005321Samantala, usually, yung right of way cost lumalaki.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005322Dahil nag-appreciate yung value ng lupa.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005323Tapos, nasabi nyo rin, mga contractor na hindi nababayaran.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005324At may utang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005325Di po ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005326May utang at mayroon ding tumatakbong cost sa utang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005327Tama po ba?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005328Tama po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005329Distinguished colleague, yung commitment fees, lalong tumatagal, humahaba every month, natatagdagan po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005330Distinguished colleague.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005331Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005332So, ngayon, ang tanong po ay meron pong, balik tayo, meron pong pinakamalaking proposed appropriation for foreign assisted projects ngayon sa 2027 budget.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005333232.23 billion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005334This is for 14 projects.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005335Ang tanong ngayon, eh, mauulit ba yan?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005336Ganun naman ang pattern na mababawasan ulit.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005337Of course, this is not up to DOTR.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005338Kongreso ito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005339So, actually, mas ang tanong ko ay sa sponsor mismo, bilang kinatawa ng Committee on Appropriations.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005340Mauulit na naman ba ito?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005341Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, palagay ko po, medyo mahihirapan ng maulit ito.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005342Dahil, from the small committee of the 19th Congress, ngayon po, may BARC na po, at well represented ang lahat ng political parties.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005343If I'm not mistaken, three representatives will represent each party sa budget, amendments, reform.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005344as a special committee, subcommittee.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005345Okay, nasabi po, hindi mauulit.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005346Gusto ko rin lang i-point out, ito na po yung actual General Appropriations Bill items
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005347sa Foreign Assisted Projects ng Proposed for 2027.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005348So, total of P232.23 billion for 14 projects.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005349Hindi po natin isa-isahin, pero kasama po dyan yung mga proyekto for,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005350well may mga studies for infrastructure, siguro ang isang madaling ma-recognize dito,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005351the third item there, Metro Rail Transit.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005352Sorry, nasa first, earliest slide.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005353Ano ba ito?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005354Yung unang slide, yan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005355Metro Rail Transit Line 3 Rehabilitation.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005356Project JICA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005357Sample lang po ito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005358So, merong appropriation of 1.942 billion proposed.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005359But I wanted to point out na sa bawat item na ito, meron na pong nakalagay na information on the loan itself.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005360Diba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005361So, JICA, tapos loan numbers, P269, PHP278, and PH285.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005362Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005363So, yun po yung mga, tama po ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005364Ano yung ibig sabihin nun?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005365Yan na yung mga, they refer specifically to the perfected loan agreements.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005366Tama po ba ako?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005367Tama po ba na yun ang ibig sabihin ng numbers na yun?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005368Are those the…
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005369Tama po, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005370So, ibig sabihin, ang point ko lang po dito, yung amounts na yan, nakatali very specifically to the source of funding, the loan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005371Kaya ang gusto ko i-point out para sa kongreso, mali po, unconstitutional and unlawful yung ginagawa na tatapyasan yung DOTR, Foreign Assisted Project Fund.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005372Tapos, yung fiscal space na libre ay pupunuan naman ng mga congressional insertions.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005373No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005374Kasi yung…
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005375At sa source na yun, hindi naman pwede gamitin to fund any other project, hindi po ba? Unless ginagawa yun. Yung pondo po ba na para sa loan ay nagagamit ba para sa ibang mga proyekto? Nangyayari po ba yun?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005376Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, kung ano po yung nakalindicate dyan na amount, yan lang po ang pwedeng gamitin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005377Pwede po bang gamitin sa iba yung pondo? For example, yung 1.9 billion for the MRT na nakatali sa loan, pwede po bang gamitin yung amount na yun for some other purpose?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005378Dapat MRT 3 lang po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005379Hindi pwede kasi may mga kontrato.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005380Dapat MRT 3 lang po yan, di ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005381Okay, at pagkaginamit sa iba yung pondo, ay mananagot, dadalhin sa korte, international arbitration or whatever, ang Pilipinas. Tama po?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005382Tama po. In fact, Distinguished Colleague, nakapending po ito sa Supreme Court ngayon, ito pong particular subject po nito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005383Ah, yung sa MRT po?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005384Hindi po, yung sa Foreign Assisted.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005385Ah, yung Foreign Assisted Projects.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005386Unprogrammed.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005387As part of the unprogrammed appropriations.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005388Na nilagay sa unprogrammed appropriations.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005389Okay, so yun po ang point, no, na actually, kahit paboritong modus in the past na, okay, mag-insert tayo ng mga proyekto, saan ang source of funding?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005390The OTR, Foreign Assisted.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005391Eh, ang gusto po natin i-explicitly ilatag dito on the record, ay actually hindi pwede yun.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005392At so ngayon, in other words, hindi na maaari.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005393Hindi maaaring gamitin ng Kongreso bilang madaling so-called source of funding for, call it, congressional insertion, institutional amendments, or whatever, hindi po pwede ito, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005394So hopefully, moving forward, ay hindi na natin makikita yung ganong pattern.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005395Foreign Assisted Projects of the OTR, as well as other agencies.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005396Di lang po DOTR, may mga...
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005397MMDA meron, DPWH meron din, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005398And even DepEd and others, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005399Okay, so yun po yung unang nire-registro natin at concern.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005400Now, that is, sabi ko nga, yun yung biggest item sa budget ng DOTR.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005401232 billion out of a total proposed budget...
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005402200, sorry.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005403Tama, 232 billion out of a total proposed budget of 251.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005404Now, let me go to perhaps the smallest item of the budget.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005405I'm talking about the Active Transport Bike Share System and Safe Pathways Program of the DOTR.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005406This is covered by Special Provision No. 6 of...
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005407of...
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005408the proposed budget of DOTR, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005409For 2027, nakalagay po rito the amount of 33,856,000 pesos
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005410appropriated hearing for the Active Transport Program.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005411Yun po yun, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005412So, ayan po, historical.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005413For 2027, napakaliit na po ng pondo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005414So, 33 million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005415856,000 pesos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00541633 million, ha? Million na lamang po, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005417Balikan natin ang kasaysayan ng proyektong, ng programang ito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005418Actually, in the past, mas malaki po ang funding niyan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005419Meron po tayong, ayan, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005420Starting from Bayanihan 2, yung panahon ng pandemic.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005421Dun po, malaki yung unang naglaan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0054223 billion pesos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0054231.316 billion pesos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005424This is data provided by the DOTR.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005425No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005426And then, from 2022,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005427balik tayo dun sa graph, dun sa table, yung iyan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005428Para mas visual po, makita natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0054292022 po, 2 billion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0054302 billion ang appropriations.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005431No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005432And then, 2023, 705 million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005433Then, umakyat muli to 1 billion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005434Noong 2020,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0054352024.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005436Pero from 2025 onward,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005437paliit na, dramatically, lumiit na po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005438So, 2025, 60 million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005439Tapos, 2026, 69 million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005440Tapos, ngayon, ang proposed na lang, as I said earlier,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005441is 33 million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005442So, mula sa 2 billion, ngayon, 33 million na lang po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005443Ano po ang paliwanag?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005444Bakit ganyan na lang po?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005445Ano po ang proposal natin?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005446Lalo na in the past few years and for 2027?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005447Paano naman po ang mga siklista, pedestrian, at PWDs?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005448Na hindi lang po mga motorista ang kailangang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005449servisyon ng gobyerno, diba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005450Sa kanilang karapatang maglakbay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005451So, bakit po napakaliit na ng proposed budget for active transport?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005452Mr. Speaker, dear colleague, yan po ang isang, the sad part of it.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005453Ang request po ng DOTR is 1.2 billion for the active transport.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005454Unfortunately, 33 million lang po ang nailaan or equivalent of 5 kilometers.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005455Which, nagpapatulong po ang DOTR sa Kongreso na madagdagan po ito.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005456May ibalik po yung request.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005457Dahil po nabawasan during the budget legislation at yan na po ang naging desisyon ng Department of Budget and Management.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005458So, nabanggit siyo po yung 33 million is good for?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-0054595 kilometers.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0054605 kilometers.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005461Dear colleague.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0054625 kilometers of pathways, cycle or pedestrian.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005463Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005464Actually, yan din po ang isang tanong natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005465Of course.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005466Ah.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005467Ang sponsor po natin ngayon, naka-wheelchair pa po.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005468Ako po ang una makikinabang sa Safe Path Race, dear colleague.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005469Tama po yan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005470Alam nyo, ako rin po, siklista, matagal na.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005471At dahil sa kakapusan ng cycling infrastructure, ilang beses na rin na aksidente.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005472One time, nabalian po ako ng ankle.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005473So, kailangan ko magsaklay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005474At naranasan ko yung paglalakad sa mga pedestrian lane natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005475Na talagang challenge para sa mga persons with disabilities, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005476Yung hindi pantay na sidewalk, basag-basag yung simento, papalit-palit yung level.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005477In many cases, walang sidewalk.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005478Ganun po, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005479So, kaya po, sinusuportahan natin ito definitely.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005480Pero at the same time, kailangan natin ng transparency.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005481So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005482sa mga submission nyo po, walang nakalagay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005483Magkano po ba ang costing nyo per kilometer of cycle pathway?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005484Kasi po, kinumpute natin yung Bayanihan budget.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005485Bayanihan to budget, that was 1.09 billion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005486For a total, ayon sa inyong accomplishment report,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005487for a total of 498 kilometers of cycle paths,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005488kung i-de-divide po natin, lumalabas,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005489una-muna, magkano po yung costing nyo?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005490Tignan natin kung magkakorespond sa kinumpute ko.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005491Mr. Speaker, dear colleague, there are three classifications of the pathway, no?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005492May class 1, class 2, and class 3.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005493Ang class 1 po, pag new pathway construction,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005494the estimated cost is around 10 million.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005495Per kilometer.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005496Per kilometer. Okay.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005497Then, sa class 2, may, ano, may, with physical separators,
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005498the cost will be more or less 5.4 million.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005499Alright.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005500Per kilometer.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005501Okay.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005502Then, for class 3, ayan yung tinatawag na pavement marking only.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005503Okay. Yung pintura lang po?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005504Yes.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005505Okay. Magkano po yan?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005506Mga reflectorized po yan.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-0055072.5 million per kilometer.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0055082.5 million per kilometer.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005509Well, sa computation ko po, yung 498 kilometers reported for the Bayanihan II funding of 1.09 billion,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005510pumapatak sa 2.1 million per kilometer.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005511So mukhang pintura lang po talaga to. Parang ganun. Tama po ba?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005512Combination po yan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005513Combination. Pero, well, it would seem that most of it ay yung type 3 na tinatawag ninyo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005514No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005515So, again, magkano po ang proposal? Napaka, mahirap naman po tanggapin na 5 kilometers lang.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-0055161.2 billion, dear colleague.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005517Magkano po?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-0055181.2 billion.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-0055191.2 billion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005520Pesos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005521And how much, ano po ang kung breakdown nitong 1.2 billion na ito?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005522For 1.2 billion, it's more or less 180 kilometers of new and maintained bike lanes and walkways.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005523Anong type po?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005524What type of pathways?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005525Combination na po ito ng class 1, class 2, and class 3.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005526So all three types. Ganun po. No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005527Okay. Noted po. Pero malinaw po ang mandato dito sa special provision.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005528Bike lanes should have smooth pavement, be free of hazards, and with durable physical separation from mixed traffic lanes.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005529Yung sa class 1, class 2, class 3 na sinasabit nyo, kung pintura lang, does that count as durable physical separation?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005530Hindi po, dear colleague.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005531So malinaw po ang mandato dito. Type 1. Ano ba yung term? Class or type?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005532Class 1.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005533Class 1.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005534Class 1.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005535New pathway.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005536Yung pathway. Yung class 2, ano nga po yung class 2? May barrier.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005537Yung class 2, may carriageway siya pero may separator.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005538May physical separator.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005539Yes.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005540Parang yung mga concrete or
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005540-split-2sometimes plastic na...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005541Bollard.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005542Bollard. Okay. Yung class 1, yung talagang...
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005543New. Yung bago.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005544O bago. At saka, is it elevated? Ganun po ba? Hiwalay?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005545Tama. Tama, dear colleague. Sidewalk.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005546Okay. At paano po, hindi lang naman siklista, paano po yung sa pedestrians at saka PWD? Ano naman po ang gagawin?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005547Para sa mga pedestrian at PWD?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005548Sa class 1 yan, dear colleague. Sidewalk.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005549Sidewalk. Okay. Sidewalks with PWD access. Yan lang po ba?
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005550Sidewalk expansion, dear colleague.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005551Okay. Alright. Well, Mr. Speaker, needless to say, sinusuportahan po natin ang panukala para sa additional 1.2...
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005552Billion.
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan
asr-005553Billion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0055541.2 billion
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005555for active transport.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005556Kapos na kapos po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005557ang nakalaan ngayon na proposal na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00555833 million pesos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005559Parang isang farm to market
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005560road lang po yan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005561Kaya
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005562hopefully
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005563ay matalakay ito sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005564BARC and we will be supporting this.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005565So hanggang doon na lang po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005566Maraming salamat.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005567Maraming salamat sa sponsor.
