performance since we first

joined the assessment in 2018.

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000275

Our learners gained

17 points in science,

to post significant gains in all three subjects.

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000284

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000285

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000286

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000287

asr-000288

a starting point,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000289

not a finish line.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000290

The gains we have made will only be sustained

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000291

if we continue to invest in

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000292

the learners, the teachers,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000293

and the classrooms that produce them.

Mr. Speaker, amid the recent unconscionable incidents of gun violence in various schools, the Department of Education remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of learners and personnel in all its campuses.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000334

In support of this commitment, the proposed budget provides for school safety and security for DepEd schools.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000335

This representation respectfully urges this august Chamber

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000336

to give this allocation serious consideration and at the appropriate time to consider enhancing it further to mitigate and eventually prevent such painful incidents.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000337

In light of the foregoing, I respectfully request the support of my colleagues for the proposed fiscal year 2027 budget of the Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000338

This budget will enable the Department to carry out its mandate and sustain its ongoing efforts

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000339

to reform and improve basic education so that every Filipino learner may receive a quality education in a safe and conducive environment.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000347

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000348

Well, ang unang concern po natin, kaugnay sa budget ng Department of Education,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000349

proposed for 2027 ay yung mga cuts o pagbawas sa mga mahalagang programa nito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000350

Kung ikukumpara natin yung proposed budget for 2027 at yung budget ng DepEd

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000351

sa General Appropriations Act.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000352

So, umaabot po sa 44.5 billion ang nabawas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000353

44.45 billion ang nabawas sa budget ng Office of the Secretary.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000354

So, for example, ililista po natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000355

as learner support programs

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000356

may bawas ng 1.8 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000357

Isa-isa yun na natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000358

Hindi ko na ididetalye yung mga amounts,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000359

but there are cuts in the learner support programs,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000360

in human resource development,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000361

physical fitness and sports.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000362

Let me just highlight this.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000363

From 739 million to

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000364

489 million. That is a 33.7% reduction.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000365

For new school personnel positions,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000366

from 42.2 billion in 2026,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000367

naging 31.7 billion na lamang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000368

that's a 10.5 billion reduction by one-fourth,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000369

reduction by one-fourth,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000370

for flexible learning options.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000371

Nabawasan po by 1.06 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000372

The special needs education program

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000373

nabawasan ng 193 million,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000374

18% reduction.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000375

Isama natin ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000376

2017,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000377

Child Protection Program, actually the item was removed. Wala nang budget for 2027.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000378

The School-Based Feeding Program, nabawasan ng 11.4 billion pesos, a 55% reduction.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000379

For the Indigenous Peoples Education Program, relatively maliit lang ang budget nito, 154 million in 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000380

Now it's only 76 million, 78% reduction.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000381

The Computerization Program, napag-uusap-usapan ito, yung pag-provide ng laptop sa mga tibig.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000382

From the current 10.6 billion to 5.7 billion, a 45% decrease.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000383

Multi-Grade Education, cut by 61%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000384

Administration of Personnel Benefits, para sa mga binipisyo, from 8.4 billion to 5.2 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000385

Cut by 3.1 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000386

So, total po ng mga items, hindi pa nga lahat yun, ay 44.45 billion po ang nabawas sa programs.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000387

At nakita po natin, mga major programs ito, sa ilalim ng Office of the Secretary.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000388

Ano po ang magiging epekto sa Department?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000389

At ano ang paliwanag ng sponsor kung bakit ito ang nais na ipasa na budget ng Department of Education?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000390

Gayong napakalaki po ng mga bawas sa mga major na programa nito.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000391

Sir Speaker, first of all, allow me to thank His Honor, Honorable Tinu for highlighting the...

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000392

Reduction as reflected from GAAA 2026 to NEP 2027.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000393

We, same with this sponsor, we acknowledge that reduction.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000394

But allow me to emphasize, Mr. Speaker, that based on the proposal of DepEd in NEP 2026, vis-a-vis the NEP of 2027,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000395

we have almost the same...

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000396

Same...

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000397

Proposal, almost the same.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000398

It's just that in GAAA 2026, this House has appropriated more than what has been proposed in NEP,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000399

with the acknowledgement of the members of the House of Representatives to give more support to the programs being mentioned by His Honor.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000400

At this point, since the Department of Education has proposed for the NEP 2027,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000401

it is also the hope of the Department that the members of this House of Representatives will also take note of what the Honorable Tinu has noted,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000402

the need for a more allocation for the programs being enumerated earlier.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000403

The Department acknowledges that a lower budget will also affect the performance of the whole Department.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000404

But again, the Department leaves this to the members of this August body to give the appropriate support to be given to the Department, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000405

So ang sabi po ng sponsor, Mr. Speaker, ay yes, bumaba, katulad nung binanggit natin, ang proposed funding for these major programs and projects.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000406

However, halos pareho lang daw kung ikukumpara ang NEP ng 2026 at NEP ng 2027.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000407

So kongreso ang nagdagdag.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000408

At ngayon, ay tama po ba ang intindi ko, Madam Speaker, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000409

kumaasa ang DepEd sa kongreso para dagdagan ang mga pondo na ito? Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000410

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000411

That is accurate, Your Honor. May mga wish list po na gusto kong iparating ang ating Department sa mga membro ng kongreso.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000412

Okay. So nakalimutan kang banggitin, mga significant cuts dito, for the record,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000413

national literacy policies and programs from 105.5 million, naging 15 million na lang, 15.3 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000414

That's a 90% reduction for 2027. Literacy, national literacy policies.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000415

So this is meant to address the edcom finding, di ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000416

Na napakataas po ng functional illiteracy even among graduates of the basic education system.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000417

And yet, binawasan ng 90% yung funding nito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000418

Textbooks and other instructional materials from 19.5 billion, naging 6.4 billion na lang po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000419

66% reduction. Textbooks and other instructional materials.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000420

Ang alam ko, Undersecretary Angara ay bumabawi na after more than a decade of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000421

minimal textbooks.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000422

Textbook procurement ay pinabilis.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000423

Finacilitate at nagpo-procure muli ng textbooks ang DepEd.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000424

Pero ano mangyayari?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000425

Binawasan by 66% ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000426

So, ngayon umaasa sa kongreso para maibalik.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000427

Pwede po bang banggitin ng sponsor kahit yung mga pinakamahalagang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000428

sabi nyo may wish list ng DepEd.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000429

Pwedeng marinig, for the record.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000430

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000431

Gladly, this representation would like to manifest some of the wish list of the Department

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000432

in order to carry out its programs and improve the performance of the Department.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000433

Kasaama na dito ang mga dagdag na allocation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000434

for the learning recovery amounting to 16.03 billion,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000435

which will include additional allocation for the academic recovery and accessible learning,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000436

the ARAL program.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000437

And also, this also includes the Bayang Bumabasa initiative amounting to 50 million.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000438

And part also of the wish list is the additional appropriation,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000439

proposed appropriation.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000440

For personal improvement and improving learning environment,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000441

which includes textbooks as earlier manifested by his honor,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000442

and also includes school safety and security initiatives, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000443

Okay, thank you, Madam, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000444

Pwede po bang mabigyan kami ng kompletong listahan ng priority?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000445

ng priority list na binabanggit nyo para matignan at masuportahan din natin?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000446

Pwede po ba?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000446-split-2

Yes, gladly, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000447

Okay, so mamaya po ay kukunin natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000448

Okay, ang isang malaking concern natin ay kaugnay sa MOE,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000449

particularly ng mga public schools mismo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000450

Yung MOE na nasa schools mismo, yung binababa sa mga school,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000451

hindi yung kabuang MOE ng DepEd.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000452

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000453

What we've seen, what we see here,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000454

is in the proposed 2027 MOE for operation of schools,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000455

yun yung item, operation of schools, elementary, kinder to grade 6,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000456

yung proposal sa NEPO, may increase, pero napakaliit po ng increase, 0.11%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000457

Operation of schools,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000458

junior high school, grade 7 to grade 10,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000459

may increase din, pero 0.38% lamang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000460

Operation of schools, senior high school, grade 11 to grade 12,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000461

0.33% increase.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000462

Bakit po ang proposal sa NEP at sa General Appropriations Bill ay napakaliit na increase?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000466

wala pang isang porsyento,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000467

ibig sabihin, in effect,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000468

this is a decrease

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000469

because it is way below

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000470

even the current inflation rate.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000471

Nasaan ba ang inflation rate ngayon?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000472

At least 6.2% this year.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000473

So, hindi man lang nakasabay doon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000474

When in fact, generally,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000475

yung kabuhang budget tumataas by about as much.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000476

So ano po ang paliwanag?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000477

Bakit humihingi ng napakaliit na increase?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000478

Kanina, you used the telling phrase,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000479

sabi nyo yung NEP noong 2026 at NEP noong 2027

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000480

ay halos pareho lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000481

Eh mukhang ganun ang lumalabas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000482

Ang problema sa halos pareho lang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000483

ay mas maliit na yan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000484

dahil sa mas mataas na inflation rate

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000485

even way beyond what the economic managers

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000486

have used as assumptions in preparing the budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000487

Sa kanila, ang projection eh dapat nasa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000488

around 4% lang daw ang inflation

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000489

pero alam natin over 6% na ngayon

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000490

especially due to the still ongoing war of the US

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000491

against Iraq.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000492

So bakit po ganun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000493

What's the explanation?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000494

Ito yung pondo para sa pagpapatakbo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000495

sa araw-araw na papagpatakbo ng mga schools natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000496

Why?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000497

The inadequate increase.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000498

Sir Speaker,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000499

the manifestation and observation of His Honor

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000500

is very accurate.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000501

Yes, there is an increase in terms of

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000502

the allocation for MOE for schools.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000503

However, we take note that there is a very slight increase

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000504

considering all the observations mentioned earlier.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000505

Allow me to manifest, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000506

that in the determination of allocation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000507

for the MOE for schools,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000508

the department is following a certain formula.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000509

And in fact, for the past previous years,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000510

there is a formula.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000511

The department calls it the Bonkudin formula

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000512

that computes the allocation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000513

and considers variable amounts

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000514

based on the number of students,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000515

teachers, classrooms, and other factors.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000516

Allow me to inform this August body

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000517

that just last year,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000518

the department has implemented

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000519

a new computation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000520

based on a simplified normative formula.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000521

And in fact,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000522

in the computation,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000523

several factors have been considered

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000524

which still includes

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000525

the number of students, teachers, classrooms,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000526

and other,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000527

and the cost of goods and services

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000528

on MOE-related items

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000529

linked to those standards.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000530

And in fact,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000531

just if I may say,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000532

historically,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000533

in 2022,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000534

the MOE

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000535

pegs around 30 points

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000536

on 30 billion,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000537

amounting to 30 billion for all schools.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000538

And in 2027 NEP,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000539

it's almost doubled.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000540

It's already at more than double.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000541

It's actually at 61.0 billion,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000542

which means that from the previous years

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000543

until the present,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000544

we are taking note of

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000545

the increasing allocation for MOE.

Source

asr-000546

Nevertheless,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000547

we will also take note

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000548

of the valid observation of its owner

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000549

so that moving forward,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000550

the department also will take note

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000551

of all these considerations

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000552

in improving the policy

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000553

in terms of allocating.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000554

So, makano po yung total MOE?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000555

As you mentioned,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000556

it has increased to 60?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000557

For 2027,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000558

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000559

for 2027,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000560

and proposal,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000561

it's at 61.0,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000562

61 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000563

Yeah, 61 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000564

Well, yes.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000565

Mukhang merong kayong ina-apply

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000566

na bagong normative funding formula

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000567

for school maintenance

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000568

and other operating expenses.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000569

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000570

And according to this memo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000571

ang nakapirma pa rito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000572

si Atty. Michael Wesley Tipoa,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000573

undersecretary and chief of staff,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000574

review and formulation

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000575

of new normative funding formula

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000576

for the school maintenance

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000577

and other operating expenses.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000578

According to this,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000579

to collect data

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000580

regarding their actual school MOE expenditures

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000581

by major expense item,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000582

water, electricity, communication,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000583

internet, telephone,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000584

supplies and materials,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000585

travel expense,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000586

training expense,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000587

repair and maintenance,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000588

job order for security,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000589

utility, etc.,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000590

regardless of funding source.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000591

Ito po ba yung tinutukoy natin?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000592

That is correct.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000593

So ina-apply nyo yung...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000594

At ngayon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000595

ang resulta sa application nito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000596

is that for 2027,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000597

the proposal

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000598

has increased

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000599

by less than 1%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000600

0.11%

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000601

to from as low as

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000602

0.11% increase

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000603

for kinder to grade 6

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000604

and

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000605

0.38%

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000606

for grade 7 to grade 10.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000607

Yun po ang resulta nyan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000608

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000609

So ako, ang problema ko po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000610

eh mukhang ginusto nyo to.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000611

Parang ganun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000612

Pinaninindigan nyo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000613

ang inyong normative formula.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000614

Mukhang may problema

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000615

sa formula nyo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000616

It does not take into account

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000617

the inflation rate.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000618

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000619

So okay, fine.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000620

Meron kayong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000621

bagong formula

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000622

at sabi nyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000623

historically,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000624

nagpataas ito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000625

ng MOE.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000626

However,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000627

what is very obvious

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000628

to me at least is

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000629

mukhang hindi factor

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000630

is the fact that

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000631

yung inflation rate man lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000632

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000633

Am I correct?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000634

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000635

Kasama ba yun sa factor

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000636

as one of the factors

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000637

in your normative funding formula

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000638

for MOE?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000639

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000640

Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000641

the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000642

simplified normative formula

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000643

actually provides for a more

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000644

comprehensive and realistic

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000645

costing of

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000646

school needs.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000647

However,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000648

yes, we take note

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000649

that the inflation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000650

is not greatly

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000651

considered in the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000652

computation of the formula.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000653

And therefore,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000654

the department takes note

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000655

of that very valid observation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000656

of his honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000657

Okay. So, malinaw po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000658

at tinatanggap naman.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000659

Mukhang may problema talaga.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000660

Obviously, okay,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000661

we appreciate

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000662

na meron kayong tinrabaho

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000663

na bago.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000664

It seems that it covers

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000665

more of the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000666

actual expenses

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000667

of schools.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000668

Pero,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000669

mukhang na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000670

nakalimutan yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000671

napakahalagang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000672

factor ng inflation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000673

E lalo pa ngayon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000674

markado na yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000675

Because inflation for 2026

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000676

is at

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000677

over 6%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000678

So, actually,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000679

lumiliit yung budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000680

So, sa halip na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000681

kung tatanungin natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000682

ng mga paaralan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000683

yun ang isang pinaka-basic

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000684

na complaint

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000685

at the school level

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000686

is kapos

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000687

ang MOE.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000688

Diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000689

Problema palagi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000690

yung pag-generate

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000691

ng operating expenses.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000692

Kadalasan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000693

naiiwan sa teacher

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000694

na maglaba

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000695

sa sariling bulsa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000696

Alam natin yan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000697

for various

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000698

needs of the school.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000699

Tapos, ngayon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000700

okay,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000701

lumaki na pero

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000702

kailangan ng inflation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000703

So, in other words,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000704

wala po bang proposal

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000705

ang DepEd para

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000706

mag-adjust for inflation

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000707

man lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000708

In other words,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000709

we maintained the level

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000710

from last year.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000711

However,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000712

adjusted for inflation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000713

Panggap po ba yan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000714

ng DepEd

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000715

na kailangan natin gawin yun?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000716

Sir Speaker,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000717

Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000718

the department is committed

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000719

to review

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000720

the policy.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000721

In line with

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000722

the setting

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000723

of the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000724

formula

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000725

in terms of

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000726

allocation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000727

of the MOE

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000728

for schools.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000729

We take note.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000730

The department takes note

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000731

of that very

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000732

valid observation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000733

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000734

So, dapat po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000735

ma-increase ito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000736

kung 61 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000737

So, roughly,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000738

3 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000739

Very roughly,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000740

mga 3 billion

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000741

ang dapat na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000742

idagdag.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000743

Sa MOE

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000744

para lang makahabol

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000745

sa inflation rate.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000746

So, yun po yung point natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000747

Sana po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000748

ang sponsor po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000749

ay matandaan ito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000750

dahil

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000751

very

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000752

urgent

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000753

ang pangangailangan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000754

ng MOE.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000755

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000756

Yung sa issue naman po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000757

ng no new

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000758

teaching items

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000759

for 2027.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000760

Parang naging

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000761

medyo kontrobersyal

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000762

ang usapin na ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000763

Nananatili pa rin po ba

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000764

na gano'n?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000765

Hindi po ba talaga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000766

hihingi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000767

ng bagong items

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000768

ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000769

Department of Education

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000770

even though

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000771

according to their own

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000772

admission

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000773

during the budget briefings

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000774

around

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000775

ilan ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000776

14,000?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000777

Mahigit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000778

ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000779

kulang na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000780

at least

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000781

kulang na teaching positions.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000782

Yes.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000783

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000784

Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000785

on the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000786

teacher hiring,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000787

the department

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000788

is

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000789

on its

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000790

continuous hiring

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000791

process

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000792

until this year

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000793

and until next year.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000794

This is because

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000795

the allocation,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000796

the appropriation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000797

given to the department

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000798

from the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000799

GAAT 2026

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000800

is still

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000801

being implemented

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000802

starting this year

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000803

and

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000804

the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000805

hiring process

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000806

is still until

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000807

next year.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000808

And therefore,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000809

there is

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000810

no such thing as

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000811

we stop

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000812

the hiring

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000813

but we are still

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000814

hiring

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000815

as we speak

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000816

and until

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000817

next week,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000818

until December of this year,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000819

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000820

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000821

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000822

Naintindihan natin na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000823

hindi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000824

hindi porke

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000825

walang new items

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000826

ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000827

Sir Speaker,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000947

Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000948

the reasons

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000949

behind the delays

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000950

in filling up

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000951

some of these

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000952

plantelia positions

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000953

are attributed

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000954

to several factors.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000955

One of these is

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000956

there are

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000957

hard-to-fill

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000958

positions

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000959

that includes

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000960

the non-teaching

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000961

positions

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000962

which we also

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000963

created

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000964

such as

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000965

guidance counselors,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000966

attorneys,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000967

special education

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000968

or special

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000969

science teachers

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000970

and other

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000971

specialized

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000972

positions.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000973

There are also

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000974

factors like

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000975

weaving

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000976

of beneficiaries

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000977

under special

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000978

hiring guidelines

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000979

and

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001004

There are instances where there are lack of qualified applicants for appropriate specialization.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001005

That is for the other positions apart from the teaching item positions.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001006

Of the 20,000 more or less unfilled positions that you mentioned, ilan po doon yung teaching positions?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001007

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, the figures I mentioned earlier are all unfilled teaching positions.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001008

And there are still other unfilled positions for non-teaching items.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001009

Okay. You mentioned kasi in your explanation, school counselors, etc.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001010

Okay. So, ito po ang ano natin, hindi maintindihan in the field, bakit hindi kayo mapag-fill ng position ang daming nag-iintay sa RQA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001011

So, dapat po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001012

Dapat po, matiyak na magkaroon ng mas pabilis na hiring. Di natin maintindihan ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001013

Yung kaugnay po sa expanded career progression na banggit po, magkano po yung nakalaan for proposed for 2027?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001014

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, the proposal is sa 12 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001015

12 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001016

And from the budget briefings, parang sinabi po noon, roughly 130 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001017

Four, five, 135,000 positions.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001018

However, of the 135,000, yung 100,000 is, kung matatandaan ko yung nang tama yung sa briefing,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001019

para po yan dun sa mga, kumbaga, backlog from 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001020

Ibig sabihin, yung mga nag-apply at nag-qualify na pero wala pang funding. Marami po yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001021

Nag-iintay sila. So, 100,000 po yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001022

So, in effect, yung new batch of applicants, there is only enough funding for around 35,000.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001023

Okay. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001024

That is correct, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001025

Okay. Hindi po ba napakaliit nun, nung 35,000 as a new batch of applicants for 2027?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001026

35,000 lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001027

Out of nearly 1 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001028

On teachers overall. Bakit po napakaliit na lang, nang medyo na didiscourage po ang marami?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001029

Parang, nako, ang konti naman ito. Paano po yun, Madam Speaker?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001030

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor. Yes, if only the department will have its way, the department will give what is due to everyone.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001031

But considering the limited resources, the department proposed for a more realistic amount, which is actually, for the record, is way higher than the previous allocation.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001032

Because historically, in the past, the department has an allocation only of 500 million on the average.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001033

Okay.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001034

But now, compared to last years, we are about to promote around [unclear], 135,000.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001035

135,000.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001036

Okay.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001037

Dati po, nasa 5,000 lang po yung napapromote based on the allocation.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001038

Pero ngayon, dito sa proposal.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001039

Dito sa proposal, the department targets for around 135,000 teachers, which is, I think, 25 times more than the previous.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001040

Moving forward, ano po ba ang, ganun po ba ang plano ng Department of Education annually?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001041

Gano'ng karami po yung tinatarget na for promotion through ECP, Expanded Career Progression?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001042

Okay. Yung batch size, in other words, it would be ganito, 35,000 a year.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001073

Moving forward.

Source

Deputy Speaker Francisco Paolo P. Ortega V

asr-001074

Honorable Tino, please consider the time.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001075

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, on the plan of the department, tinatarget po ng department around 100, an average of 100,000 teachers.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001076

An average of 100,000 per year.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001077

For promotion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001078

Kaya lang, for this year, magiging 35,000 lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001079

kasi backlog yung 100,000.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001080

Ganun po ba?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001081

Yes. For this year,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001082

Mr. Speaker, yes, that is

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001083

accurate because

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001084

the department also would like to be

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001085

more realistic in terms of implementing

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001086

the program.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001087

So, madami tayong

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001088

backlog in the previous years.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001089

That's why

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001090

the figure now reflects on

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001091

what is more realistic in terms

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001092

of implementation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001092-split-2

So, last question na po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001093

Tungkol po sa school

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001094

counselors o yung mga guidance counselors.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001095

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001096

there are a little

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001097

over 1,000 na mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001098

guidance counselors.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001099

Yung actual na guidance counselors

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001100

with guidance counselors

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001101

items in service.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001102

Ngayon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001103

andyan po si Yusek Panuntongan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001104

Nakipag-dialogue kami. Thank you for that.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001105

With the guidance counselors,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001106

sabi nila,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001107

medyo nadidemoralize

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001108

daw sila kasi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001109

ang DepEd, panay po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001110

ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001111

mga statement

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001112

announcing na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001113

may malaking pondo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001114

para sa pag-hire ng mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001115

school counselor associates.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001116

Samantala,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001117

parang walang nababanggit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001118

tungkol sa mga guidance counselors

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001119

na nandyan na. Sila

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001120

yung nasa salary grade

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001121

salary grade 11.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001122

Even though

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001123

they are licensed guidance counselors,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001124

and they have MA

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001125

they are MA graduates.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001126

Samantala,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001127

yung mga under the new

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

and basic education law,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001130

yung mga school counselor associates

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001131

will be hired

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001136

Parang ganon, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001137

Sabi nila, kaming mga matagal na dito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001138

na guidance counselor

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001139

mukhang malalampasan pa

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001238

September 10, naglabas ng memo

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001239

ang DepEd to clarify the nature of

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001240

Pride Month activities.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001241

Medyo marami po kasi

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001242

nag-react doon sa isang question that

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001243

was raised during the

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001244

budget deliberations about

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001245

mandatory daw po ang pag-attend ng

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001246

Pride activities. Pero

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001247

nung binasa po namin yung original

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001248

na memo, ang sinasabi

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001249

lamang nito ay voluntary at hindi

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001250

ito mandatory. So ang question

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001251

po natin ay bakit ba po tayo naglabas

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001252

ng kasunod pang memo to reiterate

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001253

I think the

release of that memo was an

Source

offshoot of a request

Tanongin lang po natin, what is the DepEd implementation plan for the GIDA Act?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001391

Sir Speaker, Your Honor, as we speak, the implementing rules and regulation is still being drafted.

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001392

And it's expected to be done by November of this year, which is being provided, the deadline set by the law, Mr. Speaker.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001393

Thank you very much. So, abangan po talaga natin hanggang Nobyembre yung implementation plan ng DEF-EDS pagdating po sa napakahalagang batas na ito.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

You know, Speaker, nakalump into one line item ang budget para sa Last Mile Schools, ILRCs, TechVoc Labs,

ALS centers.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

At iba pang school buildings.

Kaya mahirap kung matrack kung para saan ang BEFF.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001398

But with the clarification made by the Distinguished Sponsor today, mas magiging madali po for our public and especially for advocates to be able to track implementation of this very critical law.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001399

And with this, we would like to request DepEd to provide a breakdown of the BEFF in terms of allocation and the number of facilities to be constructed under each item.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

This way po makita natin mas transparent at programmatic ang ating budgeting planning.

We all know that ALS has a critical role in reaching learners who remain outside the formal education system.

EDCOM 2 and DepEd estimate that there are about 4.9 million out-of-school youth who would be reached through ALS.

Maari po ba natin matanong, you know, Speaker, Madam, Sponsor, magkano po ang proposed budget for ALS for 2027?

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, for 2027 proposal, it's at 722.13 million, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Mr. Speaker, magkano po ang ibinaba nito mula doon sa budget po ng 2026 Distinguished Sponsor?

to review

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001621

as per the law,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001622

what's stated exactly is that

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001623

DepEd shall recognize

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001624

early childhood education as the

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001625

foundation of the learning

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001626

continuum and shall promote it

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001627

for all children below 5 years of age.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001628

So clearly,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001629

there's a mandate here

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001630

that needs to be accomplished.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001631

Kaya po,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001632

dapat,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001633

tayo ay kasama din

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001634

dun sa pagtitiyak na yung ECCDC

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001635

hindi po, katulad ngayon,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001636

ang laki po ng kanilang budget cut,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001637

more than 50%.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001640

na pinalakas yung batas,

the Department is committed

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001704

to

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001705

help the Council. Hindi lang

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001706

dahil co-chair,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001707

hindi lang dahil mandato ito bilang

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001708

co-chair, but dahil

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001709

nating

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001710

Naniniwala ang department na ang bawat learner, regardless of their age and regardless kung nasa early childhood or nasa basic education level sila,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001711

naniniwala ang department na kailangang tulungan ang lahat ng learners sa lahat ng aspeto ng pag-improve ng education ng ating mga learners.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001712

Mr. Speaker, ang isa sa may pinakamalaki ding budget cut sa mga mayor na programa ng DepEd ang school-based feeding program.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001713

Ito po ay bumaba ng nasa 14 billion pesos at bumaba ng nasa negative 55.51 percent.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001714

Paano po ba maapektuhan ang delivery ng ating services sa ilalim ng school-based feeding program dahil po sa napakalaking budget cut na ito?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001715

Gusto natin malaman, Mr. Speaker, marami po bang mga eskwelahan ang maapektuhan ang school-based feeding program?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001716

Paano po ito mapagpapatuloy kung hindi po natin malalaan na ng pondo ito para sa susunod na taon?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001717

Napakalaking bagay po nito sa panahon na mataas pa rin yung percentage ng stunting and malnutrition, lalong-lalo na po sa ating mga learners sa basic education.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001718

Sir Speaker, Your Honor, while the universal coverage of the school-based feeding program covers 480 days,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001719

the implementation will be affected

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001720

be affected if we approve only the proposed allocation, this will affect the number of days in the implementation.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001721

So instead na nasa 180 days, magiging 120 days na lang yung implementation and which will be limited for kindergarten learners in terms of universal coverage, Sir Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001722

Mr. Speaker, malinaw na napakalaking ng epekto sa programa na mas mababa pa sa kalahati na ilalaan na pondo para sa school-based feeding program.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001723

Kaya po sinusuportahan ng representasyon na ito ang pag-restore ng pondo para dito sa school-based feeding program dun sa level niya sa 2026 para ma-maintain na po natin kung ano na currently yung ating binibigay.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001724

Na napakahalagang serbisyo sa mga learners.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001725

Ngayon naman, Mr. Speaker, tungkol sa pagpapatupad ng Executive Order No. 101, ito po yung pinirmahan ng Pangulo ng October 2025 na nagdidirekta sa lahat ng pambansa at lokal natin na government bodies na buong-buo na ipatupad.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001726

Ang Republic Act No. 11321 o ang Sagip Saka Act.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001727

Ang DepEd po ba merong direkta ng pakikipagtulungan sa ating local farming and fishing cooperatives para halimbawa yung gagamitin po nila para sa school-based feeding program ay nanggaling mismo sa ating lokal na producers, mga magsasaka, mga mangingisda,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001728

na naghahangad po na matiyak na kung ano.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001729

Ano man yung kanilang mga tinatanim, yung kanilang mga produce ay direkta na na nagagamit ng ating pamahalaan sa iba't-ibang mga programa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001730

Maari din natin malaman, Mr. Speaker, kung magkano na doon sa current budget natin ng school-based feeding program ang kinuha natin mismo direkta sa ating local farming and fishing cooperatives.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001731

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001732

In the implementation of the school-based feeding program, since the procurement is already under the division level, so the procurement is already localized and the produce of the local farmers are being considered in the procurement of the rice.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001733

And in fact, the data of the DepEd shows that around 35.2 million na ang nagagamit natin in the procurement from the local farmers in line with the implementation of the program.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001734

So this is in line with the Sagip Saka Act.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001735

Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001736

At sa harap din po ng Department of Agriculture, kami po ay mangihingi ng report tungkol dito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001737

Nandetalyadong report. Dahil sa DA naman, nabanggit po nila sa atin yung mga problema. Halimbawa, yung gasto sa logistics.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001738

Halimbawa, pag may kailangang i-rescue ng mga gulay na hindi na po kayang ma-absorb sa isang particular locality.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001739

Sayang naman po, no, kasi may mga pagkakataon na tinatapon, binabaon na lang po sa lupa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001740

Nasasayang yung pinaghirapan po ng mga local produce ng ating mga magsasaka, ng ating mga manginisda.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001741

No, kaya po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001742

I-raise din natin ito sa DA na magkaroon po ng tiyak na pondo para sa panahon na may ganun pong mga kaso, maliligtas natin yung mga gulay, prutas, mga isda, at magagamit direkta sa mga programa ng ating pamahalaan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001743

Ngayon naman, Mr. Speaker, nakakuha po tayo ng ulat ng DepEd sa kanilang mga programa na may kinalaman po sa gender and development mandate nila.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001744

Ngunit nakita ko po dito sa binigay sa akin na...

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001745

na document, bagamat hindi po ako sigurado kung lahat na po ito ng inyong GAD utilization.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001746

Pero ang napansin ko lang po dito ay separate pa rin po natin na ituturing yung mga gender and development related programs, projects, and activities.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001747

Halimbawa po, nakalagay dito yung pondo para sa 18-day campaign to end violence against women.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001748

Isang ayon din sa isa sa mga batas na sinulong ng amin.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001749

Yung representasyon sa Gabriela Women's Party.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001750

Ang National Consciousness Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001751

Nandito rin po yung tungkol sa Bawal Bastos Law.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001752

Pagtatayo ng ating mga Committee on Decorum and Investigation.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001753

Yung awareness tungkol sa paglaban sa kahit anong forma ng gender-based sexual harassment.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001754

Nandito rin po yung kung paano natin na-integrate yung gender and development sa Human Rights Month.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001755

Ang nais po sana nating makita at manghihingi na lang po ako ng

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001756

detalyadong ulat mula sa DepEd,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001757

tungkol dun sa kung paano po natin na-integrate sa major programs.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001758

For instance, sa school-based feeding program,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001759

are we able to employ, for instance, mothers who are not employed,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001760

who are still looking for work,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001761

as cooks or workers in the particular community kitchen.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001762

So may mga ganun po na maari po tayong...

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001763

may mga pamamaraan para talagang integrate din yung economic empowerment ng women

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001764

at ng mga marginalized communities natin and all gender diverse people sa mga programa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001765

So yun po sana yung gusto natin makita dun sa Utilization Report.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001766

Yung kompletong ulat kung paano yung mga major programs integrated ang gender and development

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001767

at hindi po separated, hindi nakahiwalay dun sa mga major programs.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001768

Panghuli na lang po,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001769

tungkol sa ating Learner Support Program.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001770

Mr. Speaker, higit po ba sa academic performance?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001771

Paano po tinitiyak ng DepEd na ang ating mga mag-aaral ay nahuhubog upang mag-isip ng kritikal,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001772

gumawa ng wastong desisyon, magamit ang kanilang mabuti at informed na pagpapasya

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001773

at maging responsable at aktibo na nakikilahok?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001774

Na mamamayang Pilipino, lalong-lalo na po ngayon sa harap ng mga hindi po madali, napakamasalimuot

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001775

na mga esyong panlipunan at mga concerns na may kinalaban sa kapakanan ng mga mag-aaral

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001776

at sa kaligtasan ng ating mga paaralan.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001777

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001778

To strengthen the development of critical thinking skills among learners, sinisiguro ng department na maging bahagi ito sa lahat ng ginagawang improvement on the formulation of the curriculum.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001779

Sinisiguro ng department na...

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001780

Yung skill ng mga bata ay maging kabahagi doon sa lahat ng mga itinuturo based on the curriculum set by the department.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001781

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001782

Mr. Speaker, ano po ba yung mga dagdag na resources na kailangan ng DepEd upang mapalakas ang mga programa sa pangkabuan na paghuhubog ng mga mag-aaral?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001783

At matiyak po na yung pagkakataong ito ay makarating sa bawat estudyanteng

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001784

nangangailangan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001787

Sa buong bansa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001788

Nakita kasi natin, ginoong speaker para po sa susunod na taon may pagkalaki-laking 37% na budget cut ang learner Support Program.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001789

At sa tingin ko po sa panahon ngayon, isa po itong hindi makatarungan na hakbang kung kakaltasan ng pagkalaki-laki itong Learner Support Program.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001790

Maari ba ang magpaliwanag dito ang ating author?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001791

Ano pong balak ng DepEd na sa harap po ng ganito kalaking budget cut?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001792

At walang pondo o kulangang pondo pero malaki pong pangangailangan sa ngayon para sa ganitong tipo ng mga support programs.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001793

Sir Speaker, Your Honor, some of the strategies to be implemented by the department as to the improvement of critical thinking skills among learners

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001794

is to expand its elective subjects nationwide and to introduce to grade 12 learners NC3 qualifications.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001795

This also includes life and career skills and becoming it as the core of the skills.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001796

To improve also to increase work immersion.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001797

And to strengthen the electives for career-aligned critical thinking skills.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001798

So, yun ay ilan lamang sa mga strategies na gagawin ng Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001799

Mr. Speaker, pwede niyo po bang bigyan niyong representasyon na ito yung particulars ng 37% na budget cut na gusto po natin makita?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001800

Kasi,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001801

sa mga legal basis naman po ng ating learner support program,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001802

ang malaking bahagi po sa aming pag-aaral ay tungkol sa pagpapatupad ng ating National Mental Health Policy.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001803

So, kung baga, kung hindi po natin ito pupondohan ng maayos,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001804

paano natin maaasahan na yung agaran na abot kamay, na counseling,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001805

iba't ibang support services sa ating mga learners, pati na rin sa mga teachers at lahat ng ating education stakeholders

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001806

ay,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001807

madaling maabot sa kanilang mga paaralan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001808

Bukod pa dito, ginong speaker, nakita rin po natin na ay hindi po malinaw at hindi pantay-pantay, halimbawa,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001809

yung pagpupondo dun sa mga spaces sana for socialization ng mga bata ng buong community sa isang eskwelahan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001810

Halimbawa po, yung napakahalaga na pagkakaroon ng mga libraries na may sapat na espasyo at ventilation para sa mga learners,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001811

pagkakaroon ng playground,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001812

pagkakaroon ng mga community garden kung saan pwede magkaroon,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001813

at yung ganitong tipo po ng mga espasyo para rin sa mga student organizations ng ating mga paaralan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001814

Yung tambayan po parang, kung baga, a luxury. Hindi po lahat ay meron maayos na tambayan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001815

In fact, marami po sa mga lugar natin, makikita natin sa kanilang mga parks,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001816

or mga multi-purpose hall, habang may nagbabasketball sa isang parte, may nagme-meeting sa isang parte,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001817

may nagpa-practice ng plans for a school event sa isang parte.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001818

So, kung baga, kulang na kulang po yung facilities natin para sa holistic development ng ating mga learners,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001819

ng ating education stakeholders.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001820

Kaya po, sinusuportahan po natin ang mas mataas na pondo para sa Department of Education,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001821

lalong-lalo na sa mga nabanggit nating programa,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001822

school-based feeding program, learning or learner support services and program.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001823

Lahat po na may kinalaman sa mental health at support services.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001824

Maraming maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker. Maraming salamat sa ating distinguished sponsor, DepEd Family.

Didiretso na po ako. Una ko pong i-focus yung patungkol sa Asatids compensation.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001831

Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, parte ng Madrasa Education Program ang Arabic Language and Islamic Values Education, kung saan ang ating mga Asatids ang nagtuturo sa Muslim learners.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001832

Can you confirm na ang current monthly baseline compensation ng mga Asatids under contract of service ay P12,500?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001833

Sir Speaker, Your Honor, the compensation of Asatids,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001834

is at P12,500 per month, and it was implemented in 2024.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001835

Maraming salamat po. Meron po bang plano ang DepEd na i-increase ang monthly baseline compensation na ito para mas maging fair at sustainable ang support sa ating mga Asatids?

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001836

Sir Speaker, Your Honor, the proposal for increase of...

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001837

Sir Speaker, Your Honor, the proposal for increase of honorarium is part of the wish list of the department na sana from P12,500 per month magiging P16,000 per month.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001838

But again, that is still part of the wish list and that depends sa kongreso.

Sir Speaker, your Honor.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001840

So mula sa P12,500 magiging P16,000.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001841

But this is still subject to the availability of funds kung ma-approve yung wish list ng DepEd.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001842

That is correct.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001843

Maraming salamat, good sponsor.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001844

Last year na-raise ko na merong issue sa delay ng pag-disburst ng compensation ng ating mga Asatids.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001845

Nais ko lamang i-commend ang DepEd dahil nagkaroon po ng significant improvement sa timeline ng release ng compensation for our Asatids.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001846

Sana po ay tuloy-tuloy na masiguro ng DepEd ang timely na release na ito.

Distinguished sponsor, another point lang sa madrasa, education program.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001848

Before I proceed to another topic, I would like to manifest na mas mababa po ang proposed madrasa education program budget for 2027 kung ikumpara po natin ito sa 2026 GAA level.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001849

Dahil dito, naninindigan po kami na ang pondo para sa madrasa education program ay dapat ma-restore man lang sa 2026 GAA level

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001850

upang matiyak ang sapat na compensation at support.

Para sa ating mga Asatids at Muslim learners, nadako po ako sa ISAL teachers.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001852

Distinguished sponsor, noong nakaraang budget briefing ay masaya po tayong malaman mula kay sekretary po mismo na ang mga ISAL teachers from Sulu ay i-aabsorb ng DepEd.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001853

Madam sponsor, I would just like to clarify kung ang pag-aabsorb po ba sa kanila ay sa pamamagitan.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001854

Sa pamamagitan po ba ng re-appointment o kailangan po ba silang sumailalim sa re-application?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001855

Sir Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001856

With the existing...

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001857

With the existing around 800 ISALs, they will be absorbed by the department.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001858

Re-application or re-appointment?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001859

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, walang re-application na mangyari.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001860

They will automatically be absorbed.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001861

However, they will be subject to training, further training, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001862

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001863

Gusto ko lamang po din i-clarify.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001864

Pinapaabot ng mga tanong po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001865

Kailan po kaya sila magsisimula?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001866

Sir Speaker, Your Honor, they will be absorbed effective January 1, 2027.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001867

Hindi po ba kaya magkakaroon ng pagkaantala dahil madi-delay po or by January pa sila magsisimula dahil may ilang buwan pa tayo bago matapos yung 2026?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001868

2026.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001869

Sir Speaker, Your Honor, the compensation, their compensation will be still under BARM from today until December of this year.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001870

And then effective January of 2027, DepEd will absorb for their compensation.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001871

Madam Sponsor, gusto ko lamang po kasing makakuha ng assurance mula sa DepEd.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001872

Na ano po kaya ang assurance na kasalukuyang mga ISAL teachers natin ay maaabsorb po ba talaga?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001873

Can the DepEd commit to this po?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001874

Sir Speaker, Your Honor, the DepEd is committed.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001875

Maraming salamat.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001876

I just want to put that on record dahil nanonood po sila ngayon.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001877

Anyway, maari po ba nating malaman kung kailan ang effective date nila?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001878

Nasabi niyo po kanina January, effective what January time po?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001879

January 1, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001880

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001881

Nakakabahala po kasi na hanggang ngayon ay wala pa tayong nailabas na omnibus hiring guidelines or reappointment guidelines or absorption guidelines.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001882

Nilalagay nito ang ating mga ISAL teachers sa isang limbo.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001883

Hindi nila alam kung sila ba ay mahahire or mariri-appoint?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001884

Or maaabsorb?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001885

Kung kinakailangan nilang maghanap ng iba pang trabaho, at least alam nila in advance.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001886

Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, sana po ay madaliin ng DepEd ang pagpapalabas ng omnibus hiring guidelines or absorption guidelines ba yan?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001887

Sa lalong madaling panahon upang mabigyan ng kapanataga ng ating mga ISAL teachers.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001888

May katanungan lang po patungkol naman sa paggamit ng AI tools

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001889

para matulungan ang ating mga guro at personnel.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001890

Can the distinguished sponsor discuss how DepEd is using AI in detecting speech impediments and assessing health needs ng mga learners?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001891

Ito po yung patungkol sa e-care.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001892

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, there are already practices being implemented by DepEd in line with the usage of AI so as to assist our learners.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001893

So, in fact, there is one...

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001894

... one strategy that is being implemented, the taking of picture in taking the height and weight of the learner.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001895

That is one of the many AI interventions being implemented.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001896

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001897

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001898

Maari ko po bang malaman kung how much ang budget for...

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001899

... for e-care this year.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001900

Is that enough to continue funding for the innovative projects?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001901

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, with regards to AI intervention, this is also part of the wishes of the department.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001902

The department is proposing for 120 million proposal for next year.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001903

Again, it depends.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001904

It will now be subject to the approval of the government.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001905

Yung this 2026 po, nasa magkano yung budget?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001906

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, for 2026, there is an allocation of 120 million for the implementation of AI-related.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001907

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001908

Ako po ay dadako ngayon sa mga katanungang gustong ipaabot ng aking kasamahan sa Akbayan na si Representative Chel Diokno.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001909

May ulat tayong natanggap mula sa isang teacher organization na wala pa rin sapat na consultation

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001910

ang kagawaran sa mga stakeholders nito patungkol sa mga kamakailang policy shifts

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001911

mula sa curriculum adjustment, expanded career progression system, grading system, at ang three-term school calendar system

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001912

na nagdudulot ng pagkalito.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001913

At karagdagang pasanin sa ating mga kaguruan, paano po makakasiguro ng DepEd na ang mga bagong reforma at pagbabago sa sistema

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001914

ay may sapat na konsultasyon sa mga guro at may katapat na pondo bago ito ipatupad sa buong bansa?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001915

Sir Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001916

The department actually believes only and recognizes the value of consultation.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001917

And in fact, several consultations are already being made.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001918

And in fact, there are also orientations being conducted in line with the implementation of several policies of DepEd.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001919

Sige po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001920

Maaari na lang po sana na i-continue po natin yung konsultasyon na ginawa

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001921

kasi baka maaari yung nagpaabot po nito sa amin or sa opisina ni Representative Chel Diokno

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001922

ay hindi po sila naabutan ng konsultasyon.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001923

Bago natin ipatupad ang anumang bagong calendar system or curriculum shift,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001924

naipagkaloob ba natin ang tamang orientation, pondong panturo, at sapat na pahinga para sa ating mga guro?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001925

So, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, yes, the department is committed to reach out all stakeholders in terms of consultation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001926

so that policies and other related improvement on the program will be properly informed and spread out across all stakeholders.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001927

Maraming salamat, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001928

Paano po kaya tutugunan ng DepEd ang burnout?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001929

At demoralization ng mga kawani na dulot ng paulit-ulit at bigla ang pagbabago sa mga polisiya?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001930

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, there are several interventions also being done by DepEd as to ensure the wellness of our teachers.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001931

In fact, just last week, the department announced for the wellness break, two-day wellness break of our teachers.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001932

These are just one of the many interventions being made to ensure wellness among teachers and other personnel of DepEd.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001933

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001934

Maraming salamat po. Actually, nalaman ko po itong wellness dahil ang kapatid ko po ay isang DepEd teacher at nag-wellness na rin po siya.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001935

Kaya maraming salamat.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001936

Ipagpatuloy po natin ito.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001937

In closing po, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, ang ating mga guro ang nagsisilbing pangalawang magulang ng ating mga mag-aaral na nagbibigay hindi lamang ng karunungan kundi ng kalinga sa ating mga kabataan.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001938

Ang bawat biglaang pagbabago sa sistema, kawalan ng konsultasyon at kulang na suporta ay hindi lamang pabigat sa kanila kundi pagbibigo rin.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001939

Sa mga batang kanilang inaalagaan, I urge my colleagues na huwag ipagkait sa ating mga guro at personel ang nararapat na pondo at pahinga. Maraming salamat po.

Gladly.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001945-split-3

Thank you, distinguished sponsor. Unang-una, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, I received a correspondence from Dr. Allan Laniba, regional director of Karate-do Pilipinas of Region 8 and president of Filipino

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001946

Shotokan Karatedo, or Filshokai. Dr. Laniba brings

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001947

to my attention the long-standing appeal of the Karate-do community for the sport's inclusion in the Palarong Pambansa.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001948

In his correspondence, he highlighted the historical significance of Karate Do in the Philippines,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001949

noting that the country's golden age of the sport during the 1960s and continued presence since 1950s.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001950

But despite its inclusion in national competitions such as Batang Pinoy, Karate Do remains excluded from the Palarong Pambansa roster.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001951

So, pwede po bang matingdan, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, kung ma-reconsider siya na mapasama sa Palarong Pambansa?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001952

Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, allow me to inform, His Honor, that this matter is already being introduced.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001953

It will be included in the agenda of the board, the board that decides on the matters related to Palarong Pambansa.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001954

And in the next meeting of the board, this will be included in the agenda and the consideration to include Karate Do as part of the demonstration sport will be tackled.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001958

Now, to another issue, Madam Sponsor, mayroon tayong special provision sa budget ng Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001959

The special provision requires deep ed to submit quarterly.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001960

financial and physical accomplishment reports through the unified reporting system within 30 days every quarter.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001961

So, ano po ba yung laman nung nire-report natin quarterly, Distinguished Sponsor?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001975

The quarterly report being submitted by the Department of Education to the Department of Budget and Management includes the physical and the financial accomplishment for every quarter.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001976

This is part of the requirement for all agencies to submit the quarterly report.

During the budget briefing,

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002030

I asked DepEd na bakit bumaba

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002031

yung budget, halimbawa,

sa feeding program,

under the

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002050

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002051

the NEP 2026 as being

kasi pinapakain muna namin yung

we acknowledge that there is

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002101

a limitation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002102

in the budget,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002103

it is still the wish

of the department that

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002113

para sa ating mga learners. Again,

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

about by His Honor is

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

while the program mandates all

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002160

schools to create a child protection

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002240-split-3

Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues, magandang araw sa ating lahat. Kapag po pinag-usapan natin ang irigasyon, hindi lamang po kanal, dam at istruktura ang ating pinag-uusapan. Ang pinag-uusapan po natin ay tubig na nagbibigay-buhay sa ating mga sakahan,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002241

ani na nagbibigay kabuhayan sa ating mga magsasaka at pagkain na inilalagay natin sa hapag ng bawat pamilyang Pilipino. Bilang kinatawan ng isang agricultural district, personal ko pong nakikita at naririnig ang mga hamon ng ating mga magsasaka. Kapag walang sapat na tubig, walang sapat na ani. Kapag mababa ang ani, mababa ang kita ng magsasaka.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002242

At kapag humina ang produksyon ng ating mga bukid, tayong lahat ang apektado sa presyo ng bigas, gulay at iba pang mga pagkain. Kaya ang budget ng National Irrigation Administration ay hindi lamang budget para sa isang government corporation. It is an investment in our farmers, our country, and ultimately in our nation?s food security.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002243

Mr. Speaker, the challenge before us is clear. We need to expand irrigation to agricultural areas that still depend heavily on rainfall. We need to rehabilitate aging and damaged irrigation facilities. We need to modernize our system so that water reaches farms more efficiently and increasingly. We need irrigation infrastructure that can withstand drought, floods, typhoons and the growing effects of climate change.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002244

But funding alone is not enough. Every peso that Congress provides for irrigation must translate into actual hectares irrigated, reliable water supply, higher agricultural productivity and better income for our farmers. We expect NIA to ensure that projects are properly planned,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002245

implementation-ready and completed on time. We also expect NIA to strengthen its partnership with our irrigators? associations. Hindi lamang beneficiaries ang ating mga irrigators at magsasaka. Partner sila ng pamahalaan. They know their farms. They understand their irrigation system, and they know where government intervention is most urgently needed.

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002272

Our investment

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002273

in seeds,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002274

farm machinery,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002275

post-harvest facilities, farm-to-market roads, credit and market access,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002276

we will achieve more if our farmers have one of the most basic requirements of agriculture, water.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002277

And this is precisely why investment in irrigation matters.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002278

At the same time, this representation recognizes that Congress has the responsibility

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002279

not only to provide resources, but also to demand accountability.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002280

We expect NIA to implement project efficiently, address delay,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002281

strengthen coordination with local government and farmers' organizations,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002282

and ensure that public funds produce measurable results on the ground.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002283

Ang tunay po na sukatan ng budget nito ay hindi kung magkano ang ating inilaan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002284

Ang tunay na sukatan ay kung ilang magsasaka ang natulungan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002285

Ilang ektarya ng sakahan ang nagkaroon ng maaasahang patubig,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002286

gaano karaming ani ang nadagdag,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002287

at gaano kalaki na itulong nito sa kita ng ating mga magsasaka.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002288

Mr. Speaker, food security begins long before food reaches our market.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002289

It begins in our farm.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002290

It begins with our farmers.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002291

And very often, it begins with water.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002292

Kaya sa bawat irrigation canal na ating ginagawa,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002293

sa bawat irrigation system na ating nirarehabilitate,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002294

at sa bawat bagong sakahan na naaabot ng tubig,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002295

nagbibigay tayo ng pagkakataon sa ating mga magsasaka

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002296

na magkaroon ng mas magandang ani at mas maayos na buhay.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002297

Most importantly,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002298

we strengthen our country's capacity to produce its own food.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002299

With this consideration, Mr. Speaker,

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002300

Magandang umaga, Mr. Speaker. Magandang umaga po, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002310

Una po, maraming salamat dun sa pagpapahatid ng NIA ng datos tungkol sa nahiningi natin noong unang nagkaroon ng committee hearing para sa budget na ito.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002311

So, mga tanong ko po ay clarificatory question mula po dun sa mga data po na ipinadala ninyo.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002312

Yung una ko po lang pong tanong, medyo sabi nyo nga po at I agree with you, Mr. Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002313

na very important yung irrigation, yung tubig, para masiguro na yung facility, yung infrastructure na ikakabitin sa mga lupang saka na ito ay maging meaningful at useful.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002314

Pero sa ngayon pong taon na ito, in fact, sa pagtinignan natin yung datos na kayo din po ang nag-provide sa amin,

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002315

parang 70.25% o 2.20 million hectare pa lang ang ating napapatubigan.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002316

Meron pa tayong naiiwang

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002317

1.01 million hectares ng lupang sakahan na naghihintay ng patubig.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002318

Ang nakakabahala lang po dito ay medyo mabagal po, 1.14% lang ang average annual increase natin sa loob ng 15 taon.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002319

At in fact, ngayong 2027, ang target na bubuksang bagong irigasyon ng NIA ay nasa medyo kakarampot lang na 5,362 hectares para sa buong bansa.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002320

So, ang tanong po natin,

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002321

ay paano natin maaabot yung 100% irrigation coverage?

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002322

Kung ang idadagdag lang natin ngayong 2027 ay 5,000 hectares more or less.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002323

At ano po yung talagang timeline ng ating strategic implementation para sa national government

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002324

para masiguro po na mapatubigan talaga natin yung natitirang 1.01 million hectares na lupain?

Mr. Speaker,

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002326

Distinguished Colleagues,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002327

Tama po, no?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002328

Maganda hong naungkat yung bagay na yan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002329

Una, base po sa master, sa ating National Irrigation Master Plan, talaga hong napalaki ng bilang nun, 9 million plus, yung mga net potential irrigable land.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002330

At kung babalikan natin dati nating data, yung net potential, pag ang 3% lang pinag-uusapan natin, bumababayan ng 3%.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002331

4 million plus.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002332

Pero yung talagang, yung naging basihan natin last year, yung 3,200,000 ay talaga naman pong kung susumahin natin,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002333

sa ngayon po ay out of the 3.2, kako nga, ay 2.2 yung sa atin.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002334

Pero nakikita naman natin bumababaho talaga yung bilang ng sakahin ngayon dahil sa mga maraming kakibat ho natin kasi ang progreso.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002335

Kaya andyan ho yung mga conversion.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002336

Kaya kung susumahin nun natin kung 2.2 million ho yun at may natitira pa tayo,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002337

ang 1 million at

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002338

lumalabas ho yan na

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002339

mahaba-abaha pa rin pa ho

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

ang tatahakin natin.

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002341

Malaki-laki pa rin ho na pondo

asr-002390

dapat i-consider, bumaba ba ang bilang

ng lupa? Pag ganyan po ang pananaw

asr-002393

sa dulo ng bahaghari, ay okay

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002394

lang talagang wala na tayong lupang

sakahan. Yun po unang gusto

at sinasabi natin na malaki ang

asr-002414

i-require. Ano po yung specific

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002415

sir na, Mr. Sponsor,

asr-002428

malaki pa ang potential for

asr-002429

irrigation, mga prime agricultural land,

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002430

ay ma-irrigate agad para po

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002431

hindi po maging susceptible

siguro po, ang isang panawagan

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002463

natin ay madagdagan yung pondo, no?

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002464

Para hindi naman, pag-i-compare

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002465

nyo kasi yung 5,000 hektarya

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002466

sa isang milyong gusto pa natin

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002467

targetin, baka bukas, ubus na po

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002468

yung agricultural lands natin. Di ba?

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002469

Wala na po tayong pinag-uusapan.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002470

Kaya nakikiisa din po ako sa inyo na masiguro

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002471

na maging priority ang

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002472

kung meron mang pong

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002473

adjustment na gagawin sa pondo, ay maging

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002474

priority ito. Pero siguro po,

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002475

bago ko po ako pupunta sa susunod na

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002476

punto na gusto ko pong

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002477

i-raise, ay baka po pwedeng humingi

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002478

ng datos ng breakdown ng

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002479

5,000 hectares. Kung ilan po doon

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002480

ang nakafocus sa Mindanao?

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002481

At syempre po,

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002482

baka pwede rin

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002483

at masagot din po

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002484

ang tanong kong, so ano po ang

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002485

pinaka-priority intervention?

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002486

How do we ensure that,

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002487

you know, we are

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002488

not only raising the

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002489

budget, but ngayon, ganito

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002490

ang laki ng budget na naibibigay

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002491

sa inyo. Ano po yung pinaka-strategic

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002492

intervention natin so that

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002493

hindi po tayo mawawalan

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002494

ng pagkakataon na masave pa

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002495

ang natitirang isang milyong hektaryang lupa?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002496

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002497

this is colleague, no,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002498

tama po ang mga sinasabi po

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002499

natin kasama dito.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002500

Ang marami po tayong

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002501

pwedeng pagtulungan,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002502

hindi lang naman dapat

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002503

ang agency, ang NIA,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002504

ang ating

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002505

ito bantayan o ano man na

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002506

asahan. Bagkus tayo ho mismo,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002507

pwede din naman tayong gumawa ng sarili nating

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002508

patubig through mga small water

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002509

impounding, kung ano kailangan natin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002510

sa palig-paligid, bilangin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002511

natin doon, gumawa tayo ng man-made

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002512

lagoon, kung ano yung quantities

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002513

involved doon sa area

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002514

na papatubigan, pwede naman

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002515

tayong gumawa ng intervention para doon.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002516

Kaya nga,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002517

kaya kung susumayin natin talagang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002518

kung titignan ho natin talaga,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002519

yung pondong hinihingi

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002520

po ng National

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002521

Irrigation Administration, no,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002522

ay P232 billion pesos

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002523

versus ho doon

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002524

sa P46 billion

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002525

kung didivide ho natin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002526

nasa 19 percent

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002527

lang po kasi yun. Napakaliit ho

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002528

talaga.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002529

Yes.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002530

At siyempre, titignan nga,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002531

kung uusisayin ho natin mabuti

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002532

yung pondo

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002533

na

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002534

kung saan ilalaan, makikita

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002535

po natin talagang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002536

yung party po kasi ng

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002537

pondo natin ay more or less

In fact,

sa tinitin natin ng budget,

asr-002600

nagpapatupad ang NIA

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002601

Pero meron ding allocation ng

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002605

ay, bilang,

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002606

NIA ang may pangunahing ahensya

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002607

na may mandato sa erigasyon

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002608

ay, ano po yung institutional

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002609

arrangement ninyo with DA

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002610

so that hindi po tayo,

asr-002611

hindi natin namin miss out

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002612

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002621

Ito po ba ay may kapangyarihan

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002622

din na, or may mandatong ibinigay?

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

NIA po ba ang nangunguna

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002677

agad ng maagang datos.

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002788

Aasahan ko na rin naman po na maibibigay ninyo po yung aking [unclear] para po masubaybayan natin ang movement at hopefully [unclear]. And I hope, Mr. Speaker, ay makonsider talaga ang pag-review ng budget ng NIA, specifically on putting additional targets to more lands that should be, that we can ensure irrigation facility.

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002789

Hindi lang, wala po talagang kwenta yung mga pakalsada natin kung yung sabi niyo nga kanina sa introduction ninyo ay hindi po masisiguro ang tubig.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002790

And I hope dahil tingin ko ay mas magiging maanghang ang tanong ng iba kong mga kasama tungkol sa irigasyon, lalo na po sa issue ng Mindanao, pinapalamig ko lang po muna para bilang paumpisa, ay sana po masagot din po natin yung tanong kung aling bahagi po ng target po natin ay nakatutok po talaga sa

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-002791

Mindanao kasi alam naman natin na marami-rami din, hindi ko naman po magdi-distinguish, pero marami rin ay palaging nakakaligtaan yung areas na nasa iba't ibang rehiyon na nasa Mindanao, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002792

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, tama po.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002793

Pero actually ang base nga po rin sa mga datos din na kasalukuyang,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002794

na nandun sa NIA, yung mga project ongoing, saka yung mga proposed, ay talaga namang ini-evaluate din mabuti.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002795

At nandyan naman din po tayo para at least gumabay, para masigurado natin na mapagbigyan din yung mga dapat tignan at mabigay yung dapat na karapat-dapat na patubig sa bawat bukid rin.

Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker.

Mahalaga ang sapat at maaasahan na irigasyon sa pagpapataas ng produksyon sa agrikultura.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002804

Kung walang sapat na patubig, nananatiling nakadepende ang mga magsasaka sa ulan at lubhang napaka-vulnerable sa banta ng Super El Nino.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002805

At ipang epekto ng krisis sa klima.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002806

Ayon sa NIA, Mr. Speaker, 4.2 million hectares ang potentially irrigable land sa bansa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002807

Sa presentasyon ng NIA noong budget briefing sa harap ng Committee on Appropriations, nasa 2.2 million hectares na ang nadeveloped.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002808

Ibig sabihin, may 2 million hectares pa na kailangan nating ma-develop.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002809

Bakit po, hanggang ngayon ay may halos 1 million

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002810

pa na hectares na potentially irrigable na lands na hindi pa rin naaabot ng ating sistema ng irigasyon?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002811

Magkano po ba ang tinatayang budget na kakailanganin para rito?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002812

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002813

Katotod po sa nabanggit natin kanina,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002814

tama po na yung net potential irrigable land base sa regional irrigation,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002815

master plan ay nasa 4 million plus.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002816

Pero yung dati hong data pa lang natin kung babalikan natin na 3.2 million,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002817

so far ngayon ay may 2.2 million na tayo at meron na lang tayong balancing 1 million more or less.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002818

Hindi ho natutupad or hindi natin ganap na napapatubigan yung dapat patubigan simply because of funding.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002819

Kaya naman po,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002820

talagang lagi every year,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002821

hinihikayat po natin na madagdagan ang pondo ng National Irrigation Administration.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002822

Pagamat alam naman po natin yung fiscal space,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002823

talagang naman po pinagkakasa lang.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002824

Pero kaya kung lalagyan po natin ng figure,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002825

yung remaining 1 million hectares,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002826

katotod po nung nabanggit po kanina,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002827

e nabanggit po natin kanina,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002828

yung 1 million hectares times 1 million 600 per hectare,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002829

or more or less na cost for development ay aabot ho yun ng almost 1 trillion pesos.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002830

So kung 1 trillion pesos ho yun,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002831

kung gusto natin talagang ma-develop yun,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002832

eh hindi naman ho natin agad-agad na makakuha ng gano'ng halaga.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002833

Pero kung lalagyan ho natin ng figure,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002834

for 10 years,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002835

eh lamalabas 160 billion pesos per year.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002836

Ang kailangan po natin.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002837

Pero 10 years po yun.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002838

At purely po sa conversion

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002839

na maging irrigable land ho siya.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002840

Pwera pa po yung restoration,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002841

pwera pa po yung improvements,

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002842

at pwera pa rin yung repair.

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002843

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002844

Mr. Speaker, mahalaga ang nabanggit ng ating distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002845

Dahil noong 2024 nga,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002846

sinabi nyo na po sa kapulungan na ito,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002847

na nasa 200 billion pesos kada taon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002848

Sa mga susunod na taon,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002849

ang kinakailangan para ma-cover ang pan-irrigated land sa buong bansa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002850

At sa ngayon, wala pa po sa 25%

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002851

ng kinakailangan na annual requirement

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002852

ang nilalaan para sa pondo ng NIA.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002853

Sa ngayon po ba,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002854

ilang ektarya yung kasalukuyang service area

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002855

na talagang productive at actively cultivated?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002856

At ilang hektars po ang hindi nagagamit ng husto

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002857

dahil sa kakulangan na halimbawa ng water supply?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002858

Ilan po dito sa kasalukuyang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002859

ang sakop ng mga small irrigation projects?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002860

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002861

actually, yung dati kasi potential na 2.2 million hektars natin,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002862

ay datos pa po yun noon.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002863

Pero kung titignan po natin talaga,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002864

minus, minus, minus,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002865

yung mga development alongside,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002866

ay andyan ho yung development ng pabahay,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002867

conversion ng maging industrial,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002868

ng non-agricultural,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002869

yung hundo-punto natin ay talaga hong nakakalungkot isipin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002870

na talaga hong bumababa.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002871

Instead na ma-maintain natin at tumaas pa sana,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002872

ang nangyayari ho talaga ay pababa.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002873

Pero hindi naman na ho natin matatawaran yung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002874

tumadating kasi ang pagkakataon

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002875

na dumadami yung tao,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002876

nagkakaroon ng improvement, suma-asenso,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002877

talaga hong nagkakaroon ng conversions.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002878

So, lalo't higit doon ho sa mga national highway

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002879

na naka-perpendicular sa highway,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002880

talaga hong automatic na ho yun na nai-co-convert.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002881

Although siya ay irrigated land.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002882

Maliba lang siyempre doon sa mga sulok-sulok,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002883

talaga hong yun na talagang pinag-uusapan natin mabuti

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002884

na dapat maiwasan siya.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002885

Kasi otherwise,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002886

mangyayari ho dyan,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002887

kasos tayo ng gaso,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002888

pero sa dulo,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002889

eh convert naman sila ng convert.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002890

So, kung mabalikan ho natin yung talagang natatamdan,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002891

out of the 2.2 million hectares,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002892

eh ni-research po nga natin kagabi,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002893

eh kung yamang tignan,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002894

i-obserbahan natin mabuti ho,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002895

at tatanungin natin mabuti rin,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002896

ang naka-convert neto ay almost

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002897

nasa 50,000,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002898

kung ano nagkakamali,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002899

eh mauubos talaga.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002900

Pero

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002901

ang talagang bilang ho,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002902

base sa datos na natin ngayon,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002903

yung pinakamalinis na napapatubigan

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002904

ay nasa almost 1.5 million hectares na lampo.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002905

Eh ngayon,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002906

kaya yan,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002907

isa nang talagang usapin,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002908

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002909

Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002910

na dapat talaga maiwasan natin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002911

yung walang pakundangang conversion.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002912

Otherwise,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002913

gumagastos tayo sa kaliwang kamay,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002914

at ito naman ay nanguubos

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002915

ng ating mga irrigated

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002916

or erigible land,

asr-002917

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002918

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002919

ang representasyon ho na ito ay nananawagan din

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002920

na dapat mas mahigpit itong mga gabay natin,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002921

mga palisya na may kinalaman sa land use conversion.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002922

Dahil tama ho kayo,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002923

napakabilis po halimbawa ng expansion

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002924

ng iba't ibang industrial projects.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002925

Sa maraming mga lugar kung saan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002926

productive ang agricultural lands

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002927

at meron pang natala na dun sa bahagi

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002928

ng mga prime agricultural lands.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002929

Sa kasalukuyan,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002930

kulang na kulang po yung proteksyon natin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002931

sa ating mga prime agricultural lands

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002932

para matiyak hindi lang po yung

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002933

mismong kabuhayan ng mga nagsasaka

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002934

o yung mga nagtatrabaho po sa sektor ng agrikultura,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002935

kundi matiyak din yung direksyon natin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002936

na papunta sa food self-sufficiency,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002937

lalong-lalo na sa rice self-sufficiency.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002938

Dahil sa ngayon,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002939

napakataas na po talaga ng ating food import dependence,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002940

lalong-lalo na dun sa ating mga pangunahin na pagkain,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002941

tulad ng bigas, tulad ng mais.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002942

Ayan po ang kasalukuyang nakalagayan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002943

Kaya po sa ganyang sitwasyon,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002944

meron bang aktibo na tulungan ang Department of Agrarian Reform

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002945

at ang NIA

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002946

sa pagtitiyak ng proteksyon ng ating prime agricultural lands

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002947

at natitiyak natin na yung mga lugar na service area ng NIA,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002948

meron tayong aktibo na irrigation projects

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002949

ay nape-preserba natin at napoprotektahan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002950

Mr. Speaker, District Colleague,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002951

tama po lahat ng sinabi nating kasamahan dito.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002952

Totoo yan kasi sa pag-convert natin,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002953

totoo yan kasi sa pag-convert ng isang pabahay,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002954

alimbawa man, o may convert into non-agricultural,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002955

eh ang ahensyang involved po dyan bago siyang maging ganap na mabigyan ng clearance

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002956

ay ang DAR, ang DA, at ang NIA, at ang LGU.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002957

Kaya maganda po talaga na higpitan natin sapagkat gumagastos nga tayo,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002958

tapos sila naman ay patuloy na nagko-convert,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002959

lalo't higit doon naman sa,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002960

kasi nga katotong sinabi ko nga po kanina,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002961

doon ho sa mga national highway,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002962

primary, secondary, tertiary, talagang ma-automatic na conversion.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002963

Pero doon ho sa mga sulok-sulok na magandaanid dahil sa malakas ng tubig,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002964

tapos kinoconvert ng walang pakundangan, eh yun ho ang nakakabahala,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002965

Mr. Speaker, District Colleague.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002966

Kaya tama lang po na yu po.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002967

At ito'y napag-usapan na rin naman po bago pa dumating tong puntong ito,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002968

sa pagkakatong ito, na dapat talaga ay yu pong mabuti at higpitan ang pagko-convert.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002969

Tapagkat hindi ho gawang biro.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002970

Yung gastusin ng NIA kahit dasal tayo ng dasal na madagdagan ng pondo,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002971

dito naman sa bandang kaliwa natin, convert sila ng convert,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002972

wala naman problema kung talagang ang slope ng, ah, ah, no,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002973

ng lupa ay imposibleng malagyan ng tubig.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002974

Kung lalampas siya ng halimbawang 18% o percent slope o kaya 20% slope,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002975

medyo mahirap-hirap na ho yun.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002976

At ang maganda naman ho doon, pag yun ang binigyan natin ng clearance,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002977

eh sa cut and fill na lang ho sila gagastus.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002978

Unlike doon sa mga lugar na malalalim, eh mag-gastus din ho yun.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002979

Kung anong halaga ng per square meter noon, pag tinambangan mo yun,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002980

yun din ang halaga ng cost.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002981

Kaya hindi naman ho magiging lugi rin yung magko-convert kung saka-sakali man,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002982

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002983

Mr. Speaker, sino po ang pangunahing namamahala dyan sa pagtitiyak ng,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002984

na kumbaga, ah, may, ah, hindi lang tama eh pero mahusay po na koordinasyon hinggil sa, ah,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002985

mga usapin ng irrigation projects.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002986

Vis-a-vis, ah, the application of a land use conversion.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002987

Ah, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues, yung humang tinukurukuin natin ay yung primary na ahensya na mag-maga-ko-convert.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002988

Kasama ho pa pala ang DHSUD, nakalimutan ko sabihin.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002989

Kasi sila yung huling pipirma kung sa individual land titling, kung pasado ho ba yung, ah, mapa o, ah, land use conversion.

Source

limitong lahat nong ah, mapa o yung pinaka, ah, site development, ah, plan.

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002991

Pero most importantly talaga ang LGU.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002992

Kasi ang LGU po ang Local Government Unit sila hamak ang nakakaalam nung mga area na dine-ide, indevelop.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002993

Sahabat at minsan pag napapabayaan din ho ng, nang LGU, nga lang sa, sa planning, no.

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002994

Sa mga kanila mga CPTO, kayang municipal planning officer.

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002995

Basta okay lang sila na okay, at the end of the day, hindi pala sila magtatambak.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002996

Sa dulo, pag bumaha, nagkaroon ng problema, ang sinisisi po lagi LGO.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-002997

Kaya dapat to talaga magsama-sama na ho yung nabanggit nating ahensya na iyo pong mabuti, paigtingin mabuti at ipataw or implement ang law para sa bagay na napag-usapan po natin, Mr. Speaker of the District College.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002998

Mahalaga po ito, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, dahil marami na dito sa kapulungan natin sa 20th Congress na mga panukalang batas para proteksyonan at mapreserba at yung kinakailangan ng mga support services sa agrikultura na kaugnay ng...

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002999

proteksyon ng ating mga prime agricultural lands

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003000

at paghihigpit pagdating sa mga land use conversion.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003001

Dahil kung gano'n po kabilis yung expansion halimbawa ng mga industrial projects,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003002

gayon naman po kabagal at sobrang lumiliit pa yung mga sakop ng ating mga lupain

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003003

na ginagamit para sa agrikultura.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003004

Napakalaki muli ng impact nito, hindi lang po sa pagkain, sa presyo din ng pagkain.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003005

At sa pangkabuan, yung nutrisyon at yung pag-commit ng tamang requirements

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003006

para sa pagkain ng ating mga kababayan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003007

Sa panahon na milyon-milyon pa rin po yung ating hungry poor na Filipinos,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003008

gano'n po kahalaga ang sektor ng agrikultura.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003009

Kaya nga po nais kong tanungin, ang sabi rin po sa budget message para sa fiscal year 2027,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003010

may tatlong bagay na priority.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003011

Yung education, yung kalusugan, tapos lagi pong binabanggit ang support sa sektor ng agrikultura.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003012

Kung tunay po na prioridad ang sektor ng agrikultura,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003013

bakit po ito yung nakikita natin na pagkaliit-liit na binibigay na pondo para sa irrigation?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003014

At nais ko na rin pong banggitin ang ginaong speaker,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003015

very alarming po na yung subsidy for national irrigation systems

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003016

and communal irrigation systems

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003017

meron pong nasa 21 billion na budget cut at ganyan din po sa subsidy for small irrigation projects.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003018

Halos para na po natin sinara itong programa na ito dahil ang kaltas po nila nasa 1.95 billion.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003019

At napakaliit ng pondo na matitira para dito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003020

Maari po bang magbigay ng pahayag ang ating distinguished sponsor?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003021

Bakit ganito po ang kalagayan ng binibigay natin na pondo?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003022

Hindi lang po ito sa niya, ginaong speaker, pero nakita rin po natin sa DA na ganito din po ang nangyari.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003023

Malaki ang kaltas pondo na inaasahan natin na magpapalala ng sitwasyon ng ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003024

Yung kontibusyon po ngayon ng agriculture sa GDP natin,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003025

nasa pinakamababa sa ating kasaysayan, nasa 1.8%.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003026

Kung magpapatuloy yung ganitong trend na puro tayo budget cuts,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003027

mahirapan po tayo na tunay na paunla rin ang lokal na produksyon sa agrikultura dito sa ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003028

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, tama po kayo.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003029

Actually, para maging ganap na meron tayong food security,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003030

ang talagang hong pondo na nire-request ng ahensya ay P232B na intended yan sa pag-develop ng eredible land

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003031

at sempre dun din sa mga restorations and improvements and repair.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003032

Kasi hindi naman natin maiwasan na talagang may bagyo, may earthquake, mayroong mga disaster o man-made disaster.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003033

Hindi.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003034

Ack of God na disaster.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003035

Mayroong nagkakaroon ng pagsira.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003036

Kasabay ho yan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003037

May ginagawa tayo, nire-restore natin to.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003038

Mas mura naman kasi hamak yun.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003039

Kaya lahat ho na napag-uusapan po natin, kakibat po rin talaga,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003040

yung magkaroon ng additional funding para hamak na matulungan ho natin at hindi tayo maging import dependent.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003041

Yun ho yun.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003042

Kaya maganda man ho ang ating,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003043

bagamat ang sabi nga natin,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003044

dahil sa limited fiscal space po tayo at sa dami naman po nang nangangailangan din na ahensya,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003045

eh talaga naman hong binabahabahagi na lang po.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003046

At yun naman isadyang ginagawa naman ng NIA ay binabatak-batak na lang ho

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003047

at talagang hindi man mabigyan lahat, at least yung mapagbigyan at sa susunod mapagbigyan yung iba at sa susunod naman mapagbigyan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003048

Ang mahirap lang ho sa pondo kasi ng NIA, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003049

Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003050

na talaga ho naman kasi pagpira-piraso natin yung mga malalaking big ticket project, legacy project,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003051

instead na magamit natin sa maigsing panahon.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003052

Kasi may mga multi-year funding,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003053

meron kasing malalaking dams na pwedeng magpatubig ng 30,000, 40,000,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003054

pero dahil nga naman marami rin nang hihingi sa atin sa,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003055

sa buong Pilipinas ng pondo, eh talaga ho pinipira-piraso rin.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003056

So nangyayari doon sa malalaking big ticket, so natin medyo naantala konti.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003057

Pero kung yun ho talaga nakafocus tayo doon at gusto natin talaga magpatubig na mas marami,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003058

talagang ho yung mga big tickets katulad ng Tumawini, katulad doon sa Ilocos,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003059

na talaga ho malalaki ho ang pwedeng mapatubigan doon.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003060

Kaya yun, ang panawagan din siyempre natin,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003061

na madagdagan talaga ang pondo ng National Irrigation Office.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003062

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003063

Bilang huli po, Mr. Speaker, magkano doon sa 232 billion na original proposal

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003064

ang para sa communal irrigation systems at para sa small irrigation projects?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003065

Sa bahagi po kasi ng representasyon na ito at marami na rin namang pag-aaral

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003066

at maaari nating maireserba para sa mas malawak pa na diskusyon sa ating Committee on Agriculture,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003067

yung tungkol din po sa impact halimbawa ng binabanggit ninyo na mga mega dams,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003068

mga big ticket projects versus itong mga communal at small irrigation projects.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003069

Sa ngayon po, ang suporta ng aming representasyon ay doon sa ating mga communal irrigation systems

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003070

at mga small irrigation projects.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003071

Kaya po, pwede nyo lang po masabi for the record kung magkano po yung original proposal

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003072

for the small irrigation projects at para sa communal irrigation.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003073

So, irrigation systems.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003074

Base po sa pagkakaintindi po natin, more or less doon sa restoration, assuming na 232 billion po siya,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003075

kung sa restoration and improvements and repair, mga 60 billion something po siya

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003076

and all the rest para sa generation na po ng bagong patubig, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003077

Mr. Speaker, hingi na lang po natin yung breakdown

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003078

nitong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003079

original proposal

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003080

from NIA.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003081

At muli, sinusuportahan po natin yung pagtataas ng pondo para sa communal irrigation systems

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003082

at saka sa small irrigation projects na tiyak po natin na pinakamakakarating at makakatulong sa ating mga magsasaka sa buong bansa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003083

Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker. Maraming salamat sa ating distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003084

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague. Maraming salamat din.

Source

Deputy Speaker Francisco Paolo P. Ortega V

asr-003085

Majority Leader.

Source

Rep. Patricia C. Calderon

asr-003087

Mr. Speaker, next to interpellate the sponsor, I move to recognize Representative Percy Cendaña of Akbayan Party-list.

Source

Deputy Speaker Francisco Paolo P. Ortega V

asr-003088

Honorable Cendaña is now recognized.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003089

Magandang tanghali po, Ginong Speaker.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003090

At magandang tanghali po sa ating ginagalang na sponsor ng budget ng NIA, Representative Joseph Tan.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003091

At magandang umaga po sa buong NIA family.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003092

Isa po siguro sa mga ahensya na hindi ko narinig ang matinding pagdaing noong budget briefing ay ang NIA.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003093

Kasi if I understand correctly, may increase po sa ating budget.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003094

Maari po bang malaman magkano po yung nadagdag sa ating budget as proposed for 2027 compared po to 2026?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003095

...

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003096

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues, ang tinitok po po natin ay yung karagdagan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003097

Actually, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague Nom, ang amount na original proposed funding ay P232 billion.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003098

Pero lumabas lang po na NEP ay nasa P46 billion something.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003099

Plus yung hong local source po.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003100

So, ang total po niyan ay almost 47 billion pesos po lang po, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003101

Maraming salamat, Distinguished Colleagues, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003102

Mabilis lamang po ang ilang mga tanong. Una po ay, pausapan po natin ang 2026 budget po natin.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003103

Magkano na po ang obligated at disbursed ating 2026 budget ginaong sponsor, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003104

Sa 2026 po, ang utilization rate po natin ay more or less 49% at ang disbursement rate po natin ay 28%.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003105

So, nangyari po ito kasi kung babalikan po natin ang datos, kasi po yung lumabas po na,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003106

advice o saraw from DBM ay medyo late po siya, middle of the year more or less,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003107

na siguro sometime May or April of May.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003108

So, pag lumabas po kasi yun, dumating ang pondo,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003109

tempre, magkakaroon pa rin po ng procurement.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003110

So, it takes time. Siguro more or less po, mga two months ang procurement plus post-evaluation.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003111

So, tatlong buwan po yun.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003112

Kaya, pagkamat lumabas na yung kabuuan na pondo,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003113

eh hindi agad ma-obligate lahat yung buong pera.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003114

Kaya, lumalabas ito pala, based on sa allotment versus doon sa obligation,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003115

meron hong discrepancy malaki.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003116

Sapagkat una, yung timing ho ng pondong dumating, eh medyo sa tag-ulan na.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003117

Pangalawa, yung pondo na sa middle of the year,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003118

so yun nga, katotong sinabi ho natin, yung procurement process pa,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003119

eh talagang kumakain ho ng oras siya.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003120

At doon sa disbursement naman,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003121

sempre po, pag mababa ang patrabaho,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003122

mababa ang accomplishment,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003123

mababa rin ang collections.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003124

At sadyang causes ho na lahat ng mga delay na yan ay dahil sa nakaharap na ho tayo sa ulan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003125

Kaya, kaliwakanan, ngayon uulan, bukas, aaraw, sa susunod na panahon ay uulan na naman.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003126

Hindi na na ho natin maintindihan kung eh ang, kung kailan talaga tunay na aaraw,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003127

sapagkat kung titignan ho natin, no, base po sa, yan nga,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003128

pag ganitong pumasok ang panahon ng June, July, August, September, October, habagat,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003129

lagi ho yang may daladalang pabugso-bugsong ulan na may bagyo pa.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003130

Kaya ang pagkakataon, ang timing ho talaga yan, pagdating sa amihan,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003131

yung itong pagdating na November, December, January, February, March, yung medyo tagtuyot ng konti, doon ho natin hinahabol.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003132

Eh nangyari ho yung panahon na yun, wala doon ho yung release,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003133

sapagkat alam naman din natin ang kadahilanan, medyo na late lang ho, pero ngayon hinahabol naman na ho,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003134

para at least lumaki ang obligations, makapag-bid out, makapag-obligate,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003135

magkaroon ng malaking physical accomplishment at lumaki rin ang disbursement, Mr. Speaker Distinguished Colleagues.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003136

Mr. Speaker Distinguished Colleagues, nakababahala po iyong sitwasyon,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003137

ah, natin pagdating sa obligations.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003138

So, kung ganito po, ilan po ang mga irrigation projects natin ang delayed?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003139

Actually, may bilang din ho tayo, hindi lang, pwede yung humbig na lang namin kay Mr. Speaker Distinguished Colleagues

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003140

ng kopyan ng bilang ng delay, at alam naman ho natin kasi ang mga causes ng delay,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003141

katulad na sabi nga natin, ah, kapag ganito na ho ang panahon, talaga ho, gustuhin man ng mga nananalong bidder,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003142

na mag-mobilize, dahil yung area po ay sadyang maputik na, hindi na ho yung, hindi na makagalaw totally,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003143

at kaliwakanan pa ang problema sa pag-increase ng mga fuel, scarcity ng mga gamit,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003144

ah, mga construction materials, equipment hindi ma-mobilize, kaya maraming hong causes ng delay talaga.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003145

At yan na, ang pinakahuli pa yung climate, ah, climate change, na talaga naman ho, ah, isa rin sa problema natin.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003146

Sir, ah, pero yung hinihingi po, ang nga ating butihin, Mr. Speaker, ng ating, ah, kasamahan dito ay bibigyan ho namin ka ng kopya.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003147

Sir, Speaker Distinguished Colleagues.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003148

Ginong speaker, ah, ginong sponsor, asahan po natin yung pagsasubmit noong bilang ng mga irrigation projects na delayed,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003149

at I can imagine, substantial po yung dami ng mga delayed projects po na atin.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003150

Punta naman po tayo sa completed. Ilan na po ang completed, ah, thus far among the projects of the NIA?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003151

Siguro po para mas makapaghanda na kuwante yung ating technical team, ang tanong po ay ilan ang completed, tapos ilan po ang completed at hindi pa operational?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003152

Ah, Mister Speaker Distinguished Colleagues, ang data po po ang hinahanap natin ay pangkasa-lukuyan taon.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003153

Ah,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003154

Kung, ah, pangkasa-lukuyan taon po ay actually yun nga, balit ka lang po lang natin ang ating nabanggit kanina,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003155

kasalukuyan pa lang po ang, ah, paghahabol ng, ng procurement, at, ah, kasalukuyan pa lang din pong nag, ah, nag-mobilize yung iba.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003156

At kung hihingi po tayo ng

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003157

accomplishment, precisely kung taong kasalukuyan, medyo kapos pa po tayo. Dahil ang gawain po ng NIA ay hindi lang po natatapos ng isang buwan, dalawang buwan, bagkus umaabot po iyan ng taunan. At pag tinatapos po

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003158

natin iyan ay

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003159

tuwing summer time lang, yung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003160

tag-ulan lang, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003161

So, ang nakikita po natin, pagkakataon

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003162

lang para makapagparami tayo ng gawain

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003163

sa NIA

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003164

ay yung pagpasok

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003165

ng summer. Eh, sa atin po,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003166

maski nagsasummer na, bigla-bigla

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003167

pang umuulan, kaya talagang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003168

hindi ko gawang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003169

biro na magkaroon ng mga delay

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003170

sa mga

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003171

projects na

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003172

ginagawa po ng

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003173

ating ahensya. Pero yung listahan

asr-003187

ay talaga po may mga area

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003188

kasi na dati may tubig,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003189

biglang nagkawalan ng tubig dahil sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003190

climate change,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003191

at dahil din sa bagyo, yung dating

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003192

operational, ay

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003193

ay dahil sa lakas ng seepage,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003194

hindi na kumaabot ang tubig doon sa dulo,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003195

so therefore, hindi

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003196

na mapapakinabangan unless

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003197

otherwise na magkaroon

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003198

ng

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003199

repair, rehab, or restorations.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003200

So, yun ho yun,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003201

ang mga cost din ng mga non-operational.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003202

Talagang ho, sa dyang,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003203

tinitimbang ho rin naman natin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003204

talaga, yung pondo.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003205

Kung, kaya nga po,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003206

yung pondo ng NIA,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003207

hindi lang po natin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003208

pinopocus sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003209

development projects

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003210

o development, ibig sabihin,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003211

paggagawa ng bagong

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003212

irrigable land,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003213

pagkos talagang ho,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003214

yung hinahati-hati din ho natin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003215

para sa ganoon, ay yung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003216

mapakinabangan natin yung dating

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003217

existing na hindi na nag-o-operationalize

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003218

o na nag-o-operate.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003219

Kaya, marami ho talagang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003220

kakibat na problema

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003221

doon sa mga nabanggit

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003222

natin kanina. Pero bottom line po

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003223

talaga dyan ay, yun nga ho,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003224

kung talagang madadagdagan ng pondo

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003225

to, ay talagang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003226

mas dadami

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003227

ang marirepair natin, marirehab natin,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003228

marire-restorations, magkaroon ng

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003229

restorations. At dito naman sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003230

pagkoconvert natin, ay

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003231

ay mas dadami rin.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003232

At nasusigurado

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003233

rin po natin kung timing din talaga

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003234

lahat, yung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003235

bagay-bagay, lalo higit sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003236

pananalapi, ay

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003237

sadya hong mas

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003238

mapapabilis natin. Kasi yung timing

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003239

ho kasi ng construction, unlike ho sa mga

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003240

lugar na

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003241

katulad sa Kabayanan,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003242

katulad ho sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003243

mga,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003244

dito sa halimbawa, sa Metro Manila,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003245

kung may gagawin mga building, ibang iba ho sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003246

mga patrabaho sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003247

NIA. Kasi kalaban ho natin ang tubig doon,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003248

pag mahina ho ang construction,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003249

ang quality mababa,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003250

pagdating ho ng tubig,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003251

yung Agus ho, mabigat ho yun, talagang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003252

i-wash out niya. Kaya hindi ho gawang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003253

biro ang pagtatrabaho

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003254

sa NIA. Timing

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003255

sa panahon, at

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003256

timing din sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003257

lahat. At yun

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003258

nga ho, ibang iba sa patrabaho

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003259

sa Kabayanan. Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003260

Distinguished Colleagues.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003260-split-2

Maraming

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003261

salamat, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003262

alam naman po natin,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003263

hindi po panahon o klima ang

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003264

mag-a-adjust sa atin. Yung pong

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003265

gobyerno o governance ang

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003266

mag-a-adjust doon sa panahon

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003267

at klima. Kaya nga po,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003268

nakalulungkot isipin na ang

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003269

pangunahing dahilan ng delay po ng mga

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003270

proyektong ito, of course, nandyan

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003271

yung panahon o klima. Pero po, pwede

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003272

po kasi mag-adjust ang governance.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003273

So this is an administrative

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003274

concern, an administrative

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003275

question. But let me move

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003276

on to my next question.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003277

Mamaya po, may konti lang po tayong

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003278

proposal when it comes to

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003279

that particular point. Kasi gusto ko po

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003280

ipakompute sa NIA, magkano

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003281

ang cost nito sa

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003282

nawalang kita ng ating mga magsasaka

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003283

dahil po sa delay ng mga projects

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003284

na ito because of administrative

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003285

and governance gaps. But then again,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003286

that would be a motion during the end

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003287

of this interpellation.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003288

Meron pong urgent operational issue

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003289

ang ating mga magsasaka ngayon. Ito po

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003290

ay ang nahaharap nating El Niño,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003291

at ang water security.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003292

Tinataya po ng World Meteorological

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003293

Organization at pag-asa

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003294

that El Niño is expected to reach

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003295

very strong intensity

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003296

by the end of this year until

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003297

2027. Ang NIA po ba

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003298

ay mayroon ng paghahanda

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003299

para sa drought resistant

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003300

irrigation planning,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003301

adequate reservoir storage,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003302

rehabilitation of damaged canals,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003303

alternative irrigation systems,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003304

efficient water allocation,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003305

at maintaining irrigation

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003306

during these prolonged dry

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003307

periods.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003308

At saan po nating bahagi ng

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003309

budget ng NIA makikita ang mga ito?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003310

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003311

ito pong sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003312

El Niño ninyo, itong pinag-uusapan po

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003313

natin. Ang una,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003314

ang NIA po ay

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003315

nag-ayak din po para sa short term

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003316

action, yung zero to one

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003317

year. Andyan po yung maintain

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003318

irrigation structure and

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003319

facilities, crop consideration.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003320

Yan ang tawag po natin, crop consideration.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003321

Yung mas maigsim panahon ay pwede

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003322

ng umaning. At nandyan din po

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003323

yung i-optimize yung paggamit

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003324

ng tubig. Kasi minsan, pag malakas ang tubig,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003325

walang pakundangan tumutulo,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003326

pagkihinayangan natin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003327

na hindi tayo gumawa ng

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003328

isang impounding, water

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003329

impounding, o man-made lagoon,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003330

bilangin. Katotong nabanggit

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003331

ko po kanina, dapat binibilang po yung mga

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003332

area na gagamit kung ilan sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003333

isang taon ang gagamitin nila during

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003334

wet season,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003335

yung gagawin ng man-made lagoon,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003336

yung volume na yun

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003337

during summer time, through solar

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003338

pump, ipapump po pa ganun doon.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003339

Makakatulong din po yun. Isa rin po

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003340

yun. Makikita natin sa pondo

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003341

nandiyan nandyan po yun. Yung paggawa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003342

ng small reservoir

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003343

irrigation facility.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003344

Andyan din po

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003345

ang supplemental

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003346

water augmentations.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003347

Pinag-aaralan po ito.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003348

Yung supplemental augmentation ng

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003349

ground water.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003350

At andito po yung tinatawag nating

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003351

artificial aquifer recharge

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003352

system. Yung mga tubig,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003353

ulan, at

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003354

kung maaari, may augments

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003355

sa ilalim. Makatulong.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003356

Mahaba pa po ang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003357

usapin sa bagay na yun. Ngunit yun na po ang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003358

isang pinag-aaralan ng ahensya

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003359

na magkaroon ng

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003360

recharge system.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003361

Kung ano man yung naaalis natin,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003362

yung tubig, ulan, masahod natin,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003363

mag-filter natin, bagay natin isole

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003364

sa ilalim. Pero

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003365

isa pong malawakang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003366

pag-aaral ang dapat po natin gawin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003367

pa. At balikan pa po natin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003368

short term. Andyan din po ang paggawa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003369

nating water management na hinihikayat

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003370

po natin lahat tayo dapat kasali

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003371

ka-involved. Na hindi

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003372

nauso talaga ang pulak ng pulak

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003373

ng kahoy. Kasi

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003374

pag wala pong puno, precisely

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003375

ang nangyayari po dyan

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003376

ay derecho po yun sa taas.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003377

So wala pong natitirang tubig, mas mabilis

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003378

po ang pag-ubos ng

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003379

tubig. At nandyan din yung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003380

information campaign po natin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003381

na sinasabi natin, o

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003382

wasuhan nyo lang paggamit tubig,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003383

kumuha kayo ng sarili nyong water

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003384

collections

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003385

ng tubig.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003386

Para sa ganun ay

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003387

katot, na-encourage po natin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003388

sa mga eskulahan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003389

Sa bawat school, sabi ko nga, malakas ang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003390

ulan, kesa naman kumuha pa kayo ng

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003391

sabalong, malinis na tubig,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003392

pinandilig nyo lang, o

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003393

kaya sinasabi po

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003394

natin na

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003395

kumukuha pa kayo ng pandilig nyo sa mga

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003396

tubig, galing sa nawasa,

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003397

may gamot pa yun, pinilter

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003398

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003402

cistern tank,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003403

in-encourage po natin sa mga school.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003404

In-encourage

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003405

natin na magkaroon sila, kung di man balde-balde,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003406

kumbaga yung dram-dram na ganun,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003407

pwede rin naman, para maging

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003408

self-reliant

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003409

din sila, hindi nasiasa pa sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003410

ginagamit po yung mga nawasa.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003411

Yun yung sa short-term action.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003412

Pag sa long-term action naman po,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003413

andyan yung,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003414

pag titignan natin yung pondong

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003415

nilaan ngayon, andyan yung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003416

improvement ng NIS, CIS,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003417

andyan yung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003418

paggawa ng mga

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003419

dam,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003421

facility, etc., etc.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003422

Andyan din po yung,

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003423

at siyempre, katotong pangitin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003424

natin, naandito rin

Ang kailangan po mag-adjust

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003496

ay ang ating administrative mechanisms

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003497

and processes. Tama po

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003498

ang ating Distinguished Colleague

aanihin yung pondo kung hindi mo

ng mga proyektong ito, magkano po

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003509

yung impact nito in terms

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003513

the next point.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003514

Yung assessment po mismo ng ahensya

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003515

when it comes to potential

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003516

irrigable area ay

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003517

approximately 4.65

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003518

million hectares.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003519

Compared po ito sa matagal na nating ginagamit

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003520

na 3.13

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003521

million hectares. So,

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003522

makita po natin

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003523

isang million

two computations.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Ano pong magiging impact nito in terms

of cost?

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished

Colleague,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003530

ang tinutukoy ninyo ho ba,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003531

Mr. Apo ay yung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003532

difference

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003533

in cost ng

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003535

4.6 sa [unclear]

asr-003536

4.6 sa 3.13 po, no,

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003537

In terms of irrigable

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003538

areas, Mr. Speaker, kung mas malaki

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003539

po yung gagamitin natin ngayon

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003540

na

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003541

reference when it comes to

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003542

potential irrigable

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003543

areas, ano po ang implication nito

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003544

sa cost dun po sa ating

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003545

mga proyekto?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003546

Actually,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003547

wala namang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003548

magiging problema.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003549

Ang dulo lang po naman kasi nito kung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003550

talagang mapapatubigan natin yung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003551

yung potential, yung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003552

net potential irrigable land na

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003553

sinasabi nga nating 4.6

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003554

million hectares, base

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003555

po yun sa mga kasama

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003556

na po kasi yung, kaya lumaki po bilang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003557

nung kasama po kasi mas mataas pa ang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003558

mga slope.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003559

Usually po kasi sa 3%,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003560

yun po ang pinaka

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003561

tamang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003562

sloping ng land. Kasi

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003563

ito pong 4.6 ay andyan po

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003564

kasi yung 3% to 8%

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003565

sloping, andyan din yung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003566

8% to 15% sloping,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003567

at meron din yung 45%

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003568

na sloping. Kaya kung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003569

kung sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003570

pera yung pinag-usapan at sa

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003571

ay wala namang

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003572

importante lang talaga yung

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003573

karagdagang pondo

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003574

na dapat para makapag-develop po tayo

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003575

ng

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003576

bagong irrigable land.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003577

Wala yung difference

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003578

kung susumahin po natin

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003579

sa Speaker Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003580

Mr. Speaker Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003581

tinatanong po natin ito kasi

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003582

iba po yung baseline natin from

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003583

3 million

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003584

magiging 4 million. Tapos kung

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003585

medyo mabagal po yung release

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003586

at disbursement, ibig sabihin

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003587

mas lalaki yung backlog na ahensya.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003588

Kaya po tinatanong natin ano yung

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003589

difference in terms of cost kasi sa dulo

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003590

meron din po itong difference when it comes to

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003591

implementation. The last

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003592

question ginaong speaker,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003593

ginaong sponsor,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003594

kitang kita po natin kung gaano ka-fragmented

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003595

ang irrigation planning

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003596

among government agencies tulad po

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003597

ng pangangailangan ng better coordination

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003598

between NIA, Bureau of

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003599

Soils and Water Management

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003600

of the DNR.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003601

Sabi po ng mga eksperto,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003602

siloed, nasa silos po

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003603

yung mga ahensyang ito. Ano po

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003604

ang ginagawa ng NIA para

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003605

po mas maging maayos, masinop

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003606

ang convergence when it comes to irrigation?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003607

Kailangan po kasi ang convergence, lalo na na naharap tayo sa isang major climate crisis, that is El Niño.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003608

Well, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Colleague, katot po na nabanggit natin kanina,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003609

ay talaga namang walang pay, walang sawa, walang tigil din namang pinag-aaralan ng mga ahensya

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003610

na nabanggit po natin, kasama ang DA under BSWM, PHIVOLCS, DAR, NCIP, at saka ang NIA,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003611

na talagang pinag-aaralan nila mabuti yung bagay-bagay tungkol sa patubig na nabanggit nyo,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003612

at at dun po pala sa sinasabi nyo kanina na

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003613

na pagkakaiba ng 4.250 o yung baseline natin, may difference doon.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003614

Maski hindi nga po natin puntahan pa, Mr. Speaker, this is Colleague, yung 4 million plus na potential erigible land,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003615

dun pa lang po tayo sa 1 million na potential ay akibat po rin talaga na malaking halaga.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003616

Kaya minsan hindi na po natin sinasali po yung mas malaking figure o numero,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003617

so kapagkat mas maganda pong mag-focus mo muna tayo dun sa original na 3.2 million hectares,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003618

base po yun sa 3% slope, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003619

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, marami pong salamat sa pagtugon nyo sa mga tanong.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003620

I cannot overemphasize the need for whole-of-government approach in addressing the challenges that is being faced

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003621

and will be faced by our farmers in the community sa pagpasok po ng El Niño.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003622

Again po, inaasahan po natin.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003623

And greater convergence among government agencies in responding to the irrigation problem of our farmers.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-003624

Maraming salamat po, speaker, maraming salamat, ginong sponsor.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003625

Rep. Patricia C. Calderon

asr-003627

Mr. Speaker, next to interpolate the sponsor, I move to recognize Representative Elijah R. San Fernando of Kamangagawa Partylist.

Source

Deputy Speaker Francisco Paolo P. Ortega V

asr-003628

The Honorable San Fernando is now recognized.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003629

Maraming salamat.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003630

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, at sa ating kaibigan, sponsor,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003631

siing Congressman Joseph Tan.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003632

May ilan lamang pong mga katanungan.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003633

Ipagpapauna ko lang po na ang kinatawang ito ay lubos na sumusuporta sa mga proyektong pangirigasyon

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003634

dahil ultimately, ang makikinabang po dito ay ang ating mga magsasaka.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003635

Pero kaakibat po ng suporta na yan, ay dapat din po nating malaman kung nagagampanan ng National Irrigation Administration

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003636

ang kanyang napakahalagang mandato, Mr. Speaker, upang matiyak na ang mga magsasaka natin at ang kanilang mga lupang sinasaka

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003637

ay tunay na nabibigyan ng mga proyektong pangirigasyon.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003638

Ilan lamang pong mga clarification, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003639

At ilang mga commitments na nais makuha mula sa National Irrigation Administration.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003640

Ang hinihingi po na 46.36 billion pesos na budget for the fiscal year 2027 ng NIA

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003641

ay kabilang po sa mga binabanggit ng People's Budget Coalition.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003642

Ito po yung pinakamalawak na koalisyon ng mga civil society organizations.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003643

Pinabanggit nila yung DPWH bilang mga pondong maaaring maging vulnerable sa mga tinatawag po natin ng mga insertion o mga ghost project.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003644

Sa DPWH, meron na pong public portal kung saan makikita ang contract ID, lokasyon na may GU tag, sino ang contractor, magkano ang budget, at implementation status ng bawat proyekto.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003645

Maari po bang mag-commit ang NIA na mag-publish din ng parehong project level data para sa lahat ng irrigation projects nito sa isang bukas at isang searchable na public portal, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003646

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003647

Tama po, maganda po yung mga nabanggit ng ating butihing kasamaan dito, si Apo Eli.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003648

At maganda rin po yung mga narinig natin kanina na tungkol sa public works na meron sila mga transparency portal.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003649

At maganda rin naman kung yun ang pagkakataon po na sambitin sa kapulong ito na ang NIA rin po ngayon ay meron din po NIA transparency portal.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003650

At yun ho ay hindi, ang ibig sabihin, kasalukuyang pong binubuo yung transparency portal.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003651

At ang layunin po ay talagang maging accessible at transparent sa public ang information.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003652

Information tungkol sa irrigation, infrastructure project, at mga iba pang mga dapat natin malaman kapag meron tayong gustong makita sa ahensya, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003653

Salamat po.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003654

Mr. Speaker at sa ating butihing kaibigang sponsor, binanggit po ng sponsor, Mr. Speaker, na ito ay kasalukuyang ginagawa pa o tinatapos pa.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003655

Meron po bang particular na petsa o timeline na sinusundan ang NIA kung kailan ilalabas itong public portal na naglalaman ng mga dokumentasyon na binanggit ng kinatawang ito?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003656

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003657

Ayon sa ating National Education Administration, ang ating agency, na ang timeline po nila, we hope so by the end of the year ay magkaroon na ho sila.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003658

Alam naman ho natin kasi ang kainaman ng ganitong meron tayong transparency portal.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003659

Para sa ganon ay easy access kung meron ho tayong ninanais na malaman sa procurement man o etc. etc.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003660

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003661

Salamat po, Mr. Speaker. By the end of the year po ang commitment ng NIA.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003662

We hope so.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003663

Pero siguro mga pinakamahaba ho niyan, mga first quarter. Kasi ang procurement ho ay it takes two or three months.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003664

Pero sabi naman po nila ng ating ahensya ay pipilitin matapos nito kundi man hopefully first quarter, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003665

Maasahan nyo po.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003666

At least, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003667

Nakakuha po tayo ng commitment sa NIA na sa katapusan ng taong ito o hanggang sa unang kwarto ng 2026 ay makakapaglabas ng transparency portal.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003668

Mamaya po, babalikan natin yung usapin sa transparency portal.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003669

May mga civil society groups po na nakikipagtulungan dito sa ating kapulungan, Mr. Speaker,

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003685

Babalikan ko rin po yung tanong na yan, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003686

Ngayon po, noong nakaraang budget briefing, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003687

binabanggit po na may...

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003688

may sinusundan na master plan at feasibility study bago mag-implement ng mga irrigation project, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003689

Ngayon, ito pong master plan at feasibility study, by the word itself, ito ang magiging gabay para i-address yung ilang mga importanteng katanungan.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003690

Halimbawa, ilan yung irrigable lands, ilan yung mga non-irrigated, ilan yung annual targets,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003691

kasi nagpa-plano tayo, di ba, humihingi tayo ng pondo, nagpa-plano tayo,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003692

at binanggit nga po ng ahensya na ang target pa nila ay 30% na ma-irrigate.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003693

Tama po ba ito, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003694

Mr. Speaker, this is colleague.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003695

Yung 30% po ay base sa mga non-irrigable land pa.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003696

Kasi po, kung...

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003697

Titignan po natin yung pondong 3.2, ay yung land area na 3.2 million hectares.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003698

Ang 70% po nun ay na-develop na, although, andun po kasi yung sinabi natin kanina na nagkaroon po ng mga deductions

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003699

dahil sa mga housing or non-agricultural development.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003700

Kaya yung 30% po na more or less 1 million hectares,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003701

ay yun po yung kasalukuyang pinupunuan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003702

At yun po yung kasalukuyang pinupunuan natin na maging eligible land.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003703

Ang ka-akibat po kasing halaga na ito, pag kinuwento po natin,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003704

ay katulad ng sinasabi nga po natin kanina, more or less, mas 1 trillion pesos.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003705

Sa pag-eco-cover po, no?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003706

To cover the 1 million hectares.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003707

Okay po.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003708

Kaya kung titignan nga po natin, no,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003709

ay yung 600,000, mga 640 billion pesos,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003710

yung 400,000 biyan, 2030, another 400 plus billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003711

Kung i-divide po natin sa sampuntaw nyo, more or less, mga,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003712

o lumalabas po doon, ikwan,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003713

lumalabas po mga more or less 160 billion pesos per year.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003714

Sampuntaw nyo yun.

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003715

Yun ay purely for development.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003717

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003718

So, malinaw po yung targeting, no, ng National Irrigation Administration.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003719

And in fact, binanggit din po sa briefing na annually, nasa 1.5% ang na-accomplish ng NIA.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003720

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003721

Yung hung yearly na nade-develop based doon sa graph na lumabas ho na in 10 years mula noong 2015.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003722

Kung sa tignan ho natin, yun yung increase yung 1.5%.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003723

Yung 4% na napapatubigan ho natin.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003724

Salamat, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003725

So, ito pong tinatanong ko, Mr. Speaker, at sa ating kaibigang sponsor,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003726

pagpapatunay lang po yan na ang NIA merong master plan na sinusundan,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003727

may feasibility study na sinusundan,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003728

at malinaw sa ahensya kung saan ilalagay, ano yung ilalagay, ilan ang ilalagay.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003729

Tama po ba ito?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003730

So, doon sa sinusundang master plan, very specific, determined by the National Irrigation Administration,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003731

ilan, ano, saan ilalagay?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003732

Tama po, no?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003733

Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003734

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Colleague, tama po.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003735

Yung hung tinatawag natin, yung binigay sa atin, yung una, yung National Irrigation Master Plan na dinisekho ng NIA

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003736

through...

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003737

So, Regional Irrigation Master Plan, ay doon ho natin makikita ang mga potential na area.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003738

Yung paggawa ng FS, pondohan natin, at para sa ganun, alam natin na yearly, doon ho, may pattern na tayo dapat sundan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003739

Hindi na ho yung lipad-lipad pa.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003740

Yun ho yung sa malakihang usapin, lalo tigit sa CIS, saka NIS.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003741

Pero doon ho sa mga pump-pump naman, yun ho yung pa ilan-ilan na...

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003742

Mas costly pa gumawa ho ng irrigation doon kung ilan lang naman ho pwedeng patubigan doon.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003743

Lalo tigit kung mataas naman ho ang slope ng lupa.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003744

Pero kung kaya naman ng mga 3% lang siya at malayong lugar, pwede na ho through pump na lang po siya.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003745

Mr. Speaker, this is Colleague.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003746

So, maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, dahil pinagtibay uli ng NIA through the sponsor na very specific, determined yung mga areas.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003747

Ano?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003748

Kanina po tinatanong ko sa una at pangalawang tanong ko, yung specifics, dapat may GU tagging, etc., etc.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003749

Halimbawa po, sa isang proyekto ng DPWH, nag-random sampling lang po ang kinatawang ito, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003750

Ang isang sample po ay halimbawa ito, construction of Purok, this and that, sa isang particular na probinsya, lugar.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003751

Start, 13.544866, 123.456452.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003752

Ang end, 13.547692, 123.463323.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003753

Ang ibig sabihin lang naman po nito, very specific, tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003754

Binanggit ng NIA through the sponsor na may sinusundan sila na master plan at feasibility study.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003755

In-admit din po ng NIA, Mr. Speaker, na very specific yung mga proyekto at mga programang pang-irigasyon na ini-implement ng NIA.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003756

Ngayon, Mr. Speaker, ang tanong po ng kinatawang ito, sa page 844 ng General Appropriations Bill,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003757

meron pong isang line item.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003758

Isan daang milyong piso ang inihinging budget ng NIA.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003759

Ang nakasulat lang po dito, Mr. Speaker, rehabilitation and protection of watershed management.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003760

O saan to?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003761

Saan to? Ano to?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003762

Sabi nyo po kanina, sabi ng NIA.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003763

Specific, nadedetermine, alam, nakabatay sa master plan at feasibility study.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003764

Saan po itong?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003765

Rehabilitation and protection of watershed management, 100 milyon pesos.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003766

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003767

Actually, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Colleague, yung sinasambit na ating samahan dito sa pulungan ay,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003768

ito yung mga critical.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003769

Ito yung mga critical watershed nationwide na may bilang na 164 units.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003770

Yung 100 milyong pesos.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003771

Nationwide po ito, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003772

Yes.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003773

So, saan po yan?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003774

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003775

Ito ho, depende na sa lugar na pwedeng maglagay ng watershed.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003776

Sa mga area na...

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003777

Sa mga area na paglagyan ...

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003778

... na pplajihan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003779

Although, nasabing nga po kanina, yung maging specific at maging particular,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003780

pero po kasi ito ay.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003781

Una, ay, dun nga po ...

asr-003782

meron na silang bilang na 164 na critical watershed nationwide para sa gagawin nabanggit po natin.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003785

ng ating kaibigan na sponsor.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003786

Pinabanggit nga po ng NIA, meron silang datos. Tama po ba, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003787

Kumpleto kayo ng datos. O eto dapat yun ang nilagay ng NIA?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003788

O bakit hindi yung per detail?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003791

Ang pinupunto ko, meron naman palang listahan yung NIA.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003792

Eh, ba't di nyo nilagay?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003793

O di naguhulaan tayo saan ilalagay itong watershed?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003794

Ano ba ito? Rehabilitation and Protection of Watershed Management.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003795

Di natin alam saan ilalagay.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003796

Sasabihin nyo, meron kayong listahan. O nasaan specific yan?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003797

To prove my point, Mr. Speaker, meron pang nakalagay dito.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003798

Very general kasi, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003799

So, TAGO RIS, Repair of Irrigation Canal, 100 million.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003800

Saan ito? Ano ito?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003810

Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003811

Tama po yung nakita ni Apo Eli na dapat talaga ay naka-enumerated na siya.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003812

At ang system po ayon sa ating ahensya ay nailagay, bagamat nung lumabas yung NEP, hindi ho naging particular, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003813

Pero nilagay po nila, pero pati yung barangay, munisipyo, bagamat nung lumabas nga po yung NEP, ay wala siya, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003814

Mr. Speaker, salamat po sa sagot ng sponsor, pero di ko po tinatanggap yung palusot ng NIA.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003815

Kasi kung simple lang po ito na clerical error, kung magra-random sampling tayo, dapat by statistics or probability, maliit lang.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003816

Yung mga bilang ng mga errors.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003817

Pero Mr. Speaker, nagra-random sampling kami kanina pa, nakikita namin napakarami na mga general and walang mga detalye, undetailed.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003818

Halimbawa,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003819

isang line item,

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003820

construction of concrete pavement,

Saan tong Santa Maria? Ang daming Santa Maria sa Pilipinas.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003826

So, binabanggit kanina, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003827

ng NIA,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003828

identified, may sinusundan ng master plan, feasibility study,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003829

meron pa po, Mr. Speaker, halimbawa,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003830

concreting of service roads.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003831

Ano to?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003832

At isa pa, improvement of intake.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003833

Alip, RIS.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003834

Hindi po maunawaan, Mr. Speaker, ng kinatawang ito,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003835

nang binabanggit ng NIA,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003836

they are following a master plan and feasibility study,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003837

and yet,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003838

when we are asking directly

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003839

what is included in the line items

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003840

as evinced in the general appropriations bill,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003841

we cannot find any details regarding this.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003842

What would be the clarification of the National Irrigation Administration

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003843

regarding this, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003844

At sa atin pong kaibigan na sponsor.

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003847

Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003848

Tama po ang sinasabi po

NEP pa lang naman po ito,

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003852

yun

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003853

nga po ay

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003854

napag-usapan dito

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003855

na ihahabol na lang po

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003856

para maging

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003857

specific,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003858

maging particular po

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003859

yung area

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003860

para maiwasan

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003861

po natin yung duda

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003862

sa mga nabanggit po nating

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003863

mga proyekto. It so happened. Maganda naman ho at nakita po ninyo,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003864

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, yung bagay na yun. Pero minsan po kasi

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003865

sa dami ho rin naman ng papel, kaya minsan nagiging yun nga, yung nakita

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003866

po nyo, maganda at nakita po nyo yun. Sahin nyo na yun nga sinasabi dito

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003867

ay magiging particular na po sila sa mga nasambit nyo bago lumabas ang

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003868

General Appropriation Act for 2027. Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003869

Maganda po na naririnig natin, Mr. Speaker, sa ating kaibigan na sponsor

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003870

at alam ko, itutulak din po ng ating kaibigang sponsor yan. Pero hindi ko

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003871

pa rin tinatanggap yung sagot ng NIA. Alam nyo po kasi, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003872

noong budget briefing, yan din po yung inuusisa natin.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003873

So lagi, taon-taon na lang, pinag-uusapan natin mga proyektong pang-irigasyon.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003874

Pero sa halip na tumugon ng maayos ang NIA, e parang binalik pa nga nyo noong budget

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003875

briefing sa Kongreso. Tulungan din daw naman ng Kongreso, tumutulong naman ng Kongreso.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003876

Pero ang problema natin, mismong NIA, sa kanilang pag-a-identify ng mga proyekto,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003877

very general.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003878

You've made my point, Mr. Speaker. Last question na lang po, may mga solar pump

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003879

irrigation projects ang NIA na gumagamit ng AI monitoring. Pwede po bang ipaliwanag

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003880

ng NIA ano itong mga irrigation projects na ito? Ano yung mga specific indicators

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003881

na minomonitor ng AI? Ano ang data na kinukulek? Paano ginagamit yung data?

Source

Ano po ba yung sa project o programa ng NIA about AI monitoring?

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003891

Okay po. Mr. Speaker, this is colleague. Ang AI monitoring system, ito po yung sa pump performance.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003892

Nagagamit po kasi yun sa crop health at sa cropping calendar. Ito po yung nakikita natin at natutulungan si farmer

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003893

na gumagamit ng solar pump irrigations para matukoy natin kung kailan uulan at hindi uulan.

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

Ito po itong AI na ito, Mr. Speaker, this is colleague.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

Mr. Speaker, sa ating kaibigan po na sponsor, mabuting kaibigan na sponsor, uulitin ko lang po yung binanggit natin kanina.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003898

Nagko-commit po ang NIA through the sponsor na dapat magkaroon ng transparency.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003899

Portal.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003900

Transparency portal at lahat po ng mga supporting documents na kinakailangan para mapagtibay itong mga irrigation project.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003901

Hindi po po pwede na taon-taon na lang sumasalang po ang NIA at sasabihin po ng NIA through its administrator na kailangan ng tulong.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003902

Pero pagdating naman po dito sa mga line item na nakikita natin sa general appropriations bill, mismong request ng NIA,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003903

eh hindi naman niya ginagampanan.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003904

Yung kanyang mandato o kanyang responsibilidad ng NIA upang matiyak that all the projects pertaining to irrigation is really transparent.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003905

And I commend the sponsor, my good friend, for assuring this representation because rest assured that this representation will once again tackle these matters sa mga susunod pa ng mga pagkakataon.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003906

As long as hindi tumutugon ang National Irrigation Administration sa usapin ng transparency.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-003907

And it is on the record, Mr. Speaker, and to my good friend, the sponsor, that NIA ay aayusin niya itong mga na-identify na mga problema, na mga line item, mga projects dito sa pambansang budget.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003919

Magandang hapon po sa ating lahat, especially to the good sponsor and to the National Irrigation.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003920

First of all, I would like to convey, to manifest my satisfaction to the three years struggle that I have.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003921

Concerns niya, more or less, kahit wala na namang tubig yung isang pumping doon dahil solar nga lang siya, at least may ginawa.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003922

At least may action na po.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003923

Ilang katanungan lang, my good friend, the distinct sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003924

Sa 2027 NEP, nakita ko na bumaba yung budget ng NIA.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003925

Ang proposal, ang 2026 dati ay 63.2 billion, pero ngayon 46.3 billion na lang.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003926

Reduction of 26%. Tama po ba, distinct sponsor?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003927

Tungkol po sa budget, kung titignan po natin, ang proposed budget for 2027 ay 232,788,000,000.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003928

Compared to NEP 2027 ay 46 billion 355.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003929

So ito ay lumalabas pong 19.9%.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003930

Yan ho ang difference.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003931

Pababa po siya, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003932

So, dahil bumaba po, may I ask, which projects or programs account for most of the reduction?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003933

Alin po bang mga programa natin ang nabawasan?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003934

Well, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003935

kung titignan po natin, by ratio and proportion,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003936

almost po, kasi nakikita po natin sa restoration, improvements, and rehabilitations,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003937

versus yung generation ng bagong patubig, ay nandun sa 30 to 35%.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003938

So kung titignan po natin, naka-appropriated po, kumbaga, iayos po siya na mabuti.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003939

Hindi lang po natin may himay-himay isa-isa, sapagkat marami pong items, marami pong, ayun nga, ulitin natin, maraming items na talagang hindi ho sapat yung oras para mabigyan ko.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003940

Anyway, kung gusto ho niyong makita, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, pwede ho kami magbigay ng kung ano yung natamaan na lugar o hindi na pondohan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003941

Pero rest assured po na talagang kung titignan po natin yung pondo for next year, 2027,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003942

ay talagang more or less nasa 30 to 35% po ang rehabilitation or yung restoration versus dun sa pagkakonvert ng bagong patubig, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003943

Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003944

Ano po ba yung nakapaloob sa restoration program? Ano po bang ibig sabihin ng programang ito, restoration program?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003945

Marami pong consideration, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003946

Sa restoration po kasi, andyan ho yung dating pwedeng nasira during calamities, typhoon, nagkaroon ng displacement, nagkaroon ng erosions.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003947

So, kailangan natin i-restore yung kanal, i-restore natin yung facilities, etc., etc. po.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003948

Depende po sa scope of work, depende po sa area, sa project, dun ho kung ano i-restore po natin.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003949

Halos almost parehas lang din sila sa repair and improvements, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003950

Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003951

Kasama po ba yung restoration program dun sa mga kagaya nung nireklamo ko noon tapos nire-restore nila ngayon?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003952

Kasama po ba yung mga kaso na yun?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003953

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, tama po na may mga area kasing katulad nung nabanggit po nyo,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003954

Apo Dagooc, talagang kasali siya.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003955

Kasi minsan po, over time, yung napondohan ngayon by phase, talagang hindi naman kasi kayang sabay-sabay.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003956

Pag gagawin na po natin, may makikita pa tayong for improvements, for repair, for restoration, na gagamit din po yun.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003957

At mayroon ngayon, katulad nabanggit po natin, dahil sa mga calamities,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003958

eh, nagagamit din yung pondong sa restorations.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003959

Kumbaga, generic po siya kung susumahin po natin.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003960

Para at least yung nagawa na po natin mga kanal, yung mga bagay-bagay na nasira,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003961

ay yung pondo para sa restoration ay magamit.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003962

Irregalde sa NIS o pwede sa CIS.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003963

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003964

Salamat po sa paliwanag, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003965

Now, alam naman po ng National Irrigation,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003966

ang forecast po ng pag-asa hanggang pa po sa first quarter ng 2027.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003967

With that, no, given forecast, mayroon po bang kasama sa proposed budget ng NIA sa 2027

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003968

that will constitute NIA's Drought Resiliency Program,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003969

or strategy?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003970

Ah, mayroon po, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, yun po yung sa Quick Response Fund natin na humigit kumuulang na 400 million para sa area po ng inyong nabanggit,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003971

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003972

Kasi, ah, one of the example, yung sa area namin, no, nakapag-ano na kami ng, ng, anong tawag sa Tagalog, no,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003973

hindi na kami tumuloy, kasi, yun nga, ah, hindi na kakayanin ng taubig yung, ah, ano, dahil sa drought.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003974

So, yung mga ganong sitwasyon, no, ah, kasama po ba yun sa, ah, pupunduhan sa 2027 na budget?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003975

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003976

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, ang tinutukoy po ba ng ating buting kasamaan dito ay, ah, walang tubig o patutubigan?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003977

Mayroon po, mayroon po kasi, ah, walang tubig yan noon, nilagyan nila ng, ah, pump, no, binumba.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003978

Kaya lang, ah, hindi pa rin kakayanin nung, ah, tubig na nanggaling doon sa pump.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003979

Pump.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003980

Na, ma, ma...

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003981

Patubigan yung lahat ng area.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003982

Kaya nagdesisyon na lang yung mga, mga, ah, ah, mayari na huwag na lang ituloy, hindi na lang magtanim ngayon.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003983

So, ah, dahil nga sa drought, no, ah, so, is that, no, ah, part of the, is there any program of NIA, no, ah, that will solve that kind of, ah, scenario?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003984

No.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003985

Dahil may forecast nga si Pagasa na until first quarter ng 2027, to.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003986

Ah, opo.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003987

Ah, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Colleague, no, ah, tama po na yun nga, ah, ang dilima po ng ating mga magsasaka sa timing ng tubig, no?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003988

Misan, hindi lang naman, ho, yung area niyo po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Colleague, na may ganyan, given sa ibang area.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003989

Kasi yun, ho, ang climate change na pabago-bago.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003990

Misan, hindi bumabagyo sa baba, sa south, ngayon, binabagyo na rin.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003991

Misan, hindi bumabaha, ngayon, bumabaha na, pa, iba-iba na, ho, talaga, ang klema, ho, ngayon.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003992

Kaya, doon, ho, sa nabanggit niyo, ay, maari, ho, na mapag-aralan mabuti yung area niyo roon.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003993

At andito naman po ang NIA, si Apo Administrator, na makita, ho, yung lugar na sinasabi niyo para matugunan ng, ng, ng, ng, ah, solusyon.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003994

At, ah, tama rin.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003995

At, ah, tama rin po, na sinasabi niyo nga, ho, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Colleague, na talagang, yung, ah, balong sa pump, minsan, pagtagtuyot, ay, ah, minsan, talagang, naubos ang tubig.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003996

Kung itutuloy pa natin, magiging gastusin pa, ho, nung mga magsasakad, di po ba, no?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003997

Kaya, ang isa sa suggestions po natin talaga, for the meantime, habang hinihintay po natin ang 2027,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003998

ay pwede naman, no, tayong lumapit sa ating opisina.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003999

No, sa ating ahensya, na idulog po natin yan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004000

Ang isa sa suggestions po natin, una, meron naman tayong tinatawag na mga short-term na mga high-value crops.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004001

Pwede na, ho, sila muna mag-ship doon at hindi masyado siyang nangangailangan ng tubig.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004002

Pangalawa, pwede rin, ho, siguro, dahil nakita niyo na, ho, yung, ah, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Colleague, yung nagiging problema dyan,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004003

pwede, ho, siguro, bilangin niyo yung numbers of, ah, farmers within the,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004004

sa area, tapos maggawa na lang po kayo ng, ah, man-made lagoon, gumawa ho tayo, capital back ho lang naman po yun.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004005

Bilangin niyo, ho, yung area na gagamit sa isang cycle during summer, at yung gagawin, ho, yung, ah, parang swimming pool ho yun, yung short.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004006

Ah, na iipunin niyo yung tubig, for summer, gamit tayong solar, ipapump na lang ho natin.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004007

Yun yung isa sa alternative na nakikita mo natin solution, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Colleague.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004008

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004009

Yun yung sponsor sa, ah, paliwanag at sa mga recommendations, no.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004010

Ah, ito na lang yung last ko na katanungan, although walo pa to, pero hindi ko na tataposin kasi may mga kasamahan ako na darating.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004011

Madagdagan yung sagutin mo.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004012

So, ito na lang.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004013

Mayroon tayong programa na New National Irrigation System Subprogram.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004014

Mayroon tayong program na may budget po sa 2025 na 14.3 bilyon. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004017

Ah, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, yung humong nabanggit ng ating butihing kasamahan po rito ay tungkol ho sa mga NIS na malalaki.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004018

Katulad ho nung HALAOR. Katulad ho nung mga malalaki na multi-year funding.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004019

So, mayroon kayong programa na ganito noong 2025 na budget?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004020

Ah, actually mayroon po, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, na may mga pondo ho ganyan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004021

It so happen po na talaga ho dahil sa tao ng pagpupondo, eh hindi naman ho pwedeng akuin na lahat doon.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004022

Ilagay ho natin sa isang area yung pondo na NIA na kakarampot na ganyan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004023

Eh, yung iba namang ho mga region, no, ibang mga area ay siyempre po, ay lahat may pangangailangan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004024

Bagamat, sabi nga ho natin kanina, mas nanaisin ho natin sana ma-focus doon sa malalaki

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004025

sapagkat katulad ng HALAOR, kundi ako ba-ba-ba, ay mayroon 40, ilang tausan yan?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004026

40,000?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004027

More or less?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004028

Ganito kasi, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004029

Apa?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004030

Nakita ko kasi sa record na may saraw tong programa na to na 14.3 billion, 20-25, pero ang obligated lang is 4.1 billion.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004031

Ang utilization rate niya, 28.6% lang.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004032

So, ano po yung nag-prevent sa agency?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004033

From utilizing yung pondo na nasa saraw, bakit po hindi nagamit?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004034

Actually, actually, kung Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, no, ang pondo, usually po ay, yun nga, sinasabi natin, pag dumating ang pondo, hindi ma-obligate.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004035

Dahil sa hindi pa na-procure, maaring ganun.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004036

At,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004037

at,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004038

yung iba naman ho ay, kung sakali man na-procure na po siya, for awarding na siya, for notice to proceed na, makapag-umpisa na rin po sila.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004039

Kaya hindi, kasi ganun ho talaga minsan, katulad ho nung ibang pondo natin sa last year,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004040

eh dumating na ho yung saraw, isa ho, malaking project din ho yun, pet project, big tickets,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004041

hindi rin ma-iaward agad, hindi ma-iobligate.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004042

Obligate ka agad, although dyan na saraw, kapagkat dahil ho yung laki nung project, kailangan ho nating may kapartner sa labas ng bansa.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004043

So, series of bidding na kinandak, at nagkaroon ho rin ng problema, until now, meron pa rin mga, wala pa rin pumapas ang contractor.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004044

Kasi kung local contractor po kasi ang sasali, hindi ho sila makakwalified.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004045

Kaya minsan, pag may pondo ho nandyan,

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-004046

hindi ma-obligate, kaya nakikita ho natin na talagang, maski nandunay saraw, ay hindi pa ma-100% yung obligation, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004047

Yan po yung concern ko, Distinguished Sponsor, kasi naghahanap tayo ng pondo para sa pangangailangan ng erigasyon.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004048

Tama naman po yung sponsorship speech mo, tama po lahat yun, I agree.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004049

With all of that, kaya lang, sayang po yung pondo na di nagamit.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004050

Kagaya nung 2025, ang target po natin na service areas ay...

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004051

8,692 hektars. Pero yung actual lang po natin na na-accomplish, 3,162.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004052

Ang nakita ko lang na problema, sa 2027, bumaba yung budget natin, yung sabi mo, mga 19%,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004053

pero nilakihan pa natin yung target area, ginawa natin from 8,620 to 11,153.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004054

Huwag nyo na pong sagutin, Distinguished Sponsor, inano ko lang yung atensyon ni Admin Guillen,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004055

na sana, I hope, and pray,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004056

na kahit man lang sa 11,000, maabot natin yung 10,000.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004057

Kasi sa experience natin, halos kalahati lang sa target ang na-accomplish.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004058

Nakita ko naman yung sipag. I don't know with the other areas, pero yung nasayan ngayon sa Surigao,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004059

medyo masipag ho talaga sila ni Yamis.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004060

So, ang...

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004061

pinapaabot ko lang, Distinguished Sponsor, Mr. Speaker, ay...

Source

Mr. Speaker and distinguished colleagues in this August Chamber,

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004132

I rise today and it is a distinct honor for me to sponsor the proposed fiscal year 2027 budget

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004133

of the Department of Agriculture, including its attached agencies and government corporations

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004134

as contained in the National Expenditure Program.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004135

And the proposed budget of the Department stands at

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004136

198.45 billion,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004137

or about 17.25

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004138

billion, or 8% lower than the 215.69 billion appropriated last year.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004139

Mr. Speaker, we enter this budget year with encouraging evidence that our investments are beginning to bear fruit.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004140

In 2025, the Philippine Statistics Authority reported that the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector grew by 3.1%,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004141

reversing the 1.5%

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004142

contraction recorded in 2024.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004143

And the momentum

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004144

continues to this current year.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004145

In the second quarter alone, the value of agriculture and fisheries production increased by 2.9% year-on-year,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004146

reaching 452.22 billion at constant 2018 prices.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004147

Crops, livestock, poultry, and fisheries all reported increases in the value of production.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004148

We have also seen concrete progress on the ground.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004149

Through programs such as Rice for All, 20 Pesos Rice, Kadiwa, enhanced buffer stocking and support provided under the Rice Tariffication Law, the government has continued to address the twin objectives of keeping food accessible to consumers while providing better support to our producers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004150

However, Mr. Speaker, these gains should not make us rest. This reminds us that growth in value does not automatically mean that physical production is secure.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004151

This is a central challenge before us. How do we keep food affordable for Filipino families while making farming and fishing profitable enough for Filipino producers to remain in the sector?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004152

The answer cannot be found in one commodity, one agency, or one program.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004153

And it requires a complete value chain approach.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004154

And this is why the 2027 budget must continue to protect the gains that we have now reached and must focus on investments that raise productivity, reduce cost, improve farm and fishery infrastructure,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004155

minimize our post-harvest losses, strengthen our cold chain and logistics systems, expand market access, improve irrigation, modernize our fisheries,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004156

strengthen animal health and biosecurity,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004157

reduce smuggling, and make climate change resilience and disaster management and preparation part of every agricultural investment.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004158

Mr. Speaker, the proposed DA budget is smaller than last year's allocation, but the responsibilities before the department have not decreased.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004159

The department itself has emphasized that the 2027 budget must prioritize productivity, infrastructure,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004160

post-harvest systems, market access, technology, climate change, adaptation and mitigation, disaster preparedness, and stronger agricultural and fisheries value chains.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004161

The challenge before us, therefore, is not simply how much we appropriate.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004162

It is how much value we create from every peso that we appropriated.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004163

So every peso must translate into a hectare made more productive,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004165

a fisherfolk family made more resilient,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004166

Farmers and fisher folks' children able to go to school, a road that actually connects a farm to a market,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004167

a crop saved from post-harvest loss, animals protected from disease, smugglers caught and prosecuted,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004168

a farmer protected from disaster, and a Filipino family able to buy safe and nutritious food at a reasonable price.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004169

So let us not go backwards.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004170

From the gains of last year, instead, let us make the 2027 agricultural investment a forward-looking investment,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004171

not merely in production, but in productivity, profitability, resilience, and food security.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004172

And again, let us make our 2027 agriculture budget one that truly addresses poverty in the agricultural sector.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004173

And let us make our budget able to entice younger people.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004174

We wish to build an agricultural sector where fisher folks and farmers are not simply benefiting from government programs,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004175

but competitive participants and self-investors in a modern and growing economy.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004176

And ultimately, let us ensure that the measures of this budget will not just be an amount today, but an investment into the future.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004177

So that we may have better harvests, higher income, lower losses, stronger rural communities, and more profitable farmers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004178

And may that we secure food supply that all Filipinos will be able to experience today and in the future.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004179

And for these reasons, Mr. Speaker, I respectfully urge this honorable house to support the proposed 2027 budget of the Department of Agriculture

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004180

and its attached agencies and corporations.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004201

Thank you so much.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004202

Thank you so much, Mr. Speaker, Madam, for this question, which I'm sure concerns every

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004203

single Filipino, mas lalo na po kami who live in Central Luzon where the Pax Silica is

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004204

supposed to be located. Unfortunately, I myself wrote the Department of National Defense

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004205

not only asking about why did I write the DND, because it's not only the DA, but it's

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004206

National Defense, which includes food security.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004207

So basically, hindi rin ho sila nakasagot. And their answer to me was, it's the problem

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004208

daw of the BCDA, Mr. Speaker. But I think this is not only the problem of a single agency,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004209

but a problem of multiple agencies working together. So I have conferred with my colleagues

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004210

and most especially, Honorable Secretary Tiu Laurel. And what I was informed is, this

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004211

is an all-encompassing report, so they need time. And end of September is the deadline

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004212

that they gave.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004213

So, Mr. Speaker, inaasahan po na ang agricultural aspect ng Pax Silica, na bahagi po nito ay

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004214

ano yung mangyayari sa mga magsasakang na roon po ngayon sa site, yung claims nila sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004215

lands. Ito po ay maisasaklaw ng BCDA report. Ito po ba ay gagawin in collaboration with

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004216

DA? So may bahagi rin po yung DA sa paggawa at pagsumite?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004217

This question again, ano, Mr. Speaker? And this question doesn't only merely include

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004218

the farmers who are located in the land of the Pax Silica itself, but this includes also

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004219

we will be discussing power supply and water supply. Because as we know po, malaki na po

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004220

ang pag-aagawan po ng mga magsasaka and Metro Manila regarding the water supply. So

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004221

if we put the water supply needs of Pax Silica, then this becomes an even greater issue. So

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004222

we will not only study those farmers in that area of the Pax Silica, but all farmers within

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004223

a wide radius because of the various resources that are Pax Silica is going to need. So rest

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004224

assured that the Department of Agriculture will be one of the lead agencies in formulating

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004225

this position paper and impact assessment. So siguro I am envisioning DNR, DA, DND, and

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004226

numerous other agencies.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004227

That would come up with a comprehensive report. And as our good secretary has said, the DA

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004228

will comply with their portion by the end of September.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004229

Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker. Magre-request po ang kinatawa na ito ng kopya ng report

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004230

once available pag ito po ay naitapos na by end of September. Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004231

ang sunod na lang po nating tanong ay tungkol po sa mga datos na binahagi ng DA nung nakaraang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004232

na budget briefing. Kung saan nakita din po dito na sa ilalim ng Magna Carta for Agricultural

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004233

Workers at ng RA 8435, obligado rin ang gobyerno na protektahan ng prime agricultural lands.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004234

At magsasagawa ayon sa pangako ng DA na magpapatupad ng geofencing policy upang ihinto ang encroachment

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004235

ng mga solar power infrastructures sa 3 million hectares ng prime agricultural lands. Mr.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004236

Speaker, good sponsor, ano na po na yung legal status ng nasabing gagawing geofencing policy guidelines?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004237

Rest assured that upon conferring with the secretary, geofencing will be completed by the end of December.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004238

End of December po, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004239

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004240

At maaari po bang mapaliwanag kung bakit po up to December pa yung pagsagawa ng geofencing policy guidelines?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004241

Meron po bang pagtukoy ng mga prime agricultural lands kung bakit ito po ay magtatagal all the way to 3 months from now?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004242

First of all, we can't just, Mr. Speaker, we need to give you validated data.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004243

And it will take us time to validate.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004244

Actually, yung ibang prime agricultural lands ay underwater pa due to the massive flooding.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004245

So, there's actually a lot of validation that cannot go on at this point because of natural disasters.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004246

So, we're waiting for things to settle down upon which we will validate ASAP.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004247

Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004248

As a final confirmation, para po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004249

Sa pagtukoy kung paano nakakatuwang ang DA sa usaping land reform,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004250

ano po ba ang strategy o legal framework ng DA upang tiyakin na hindi mailalabas sa agricultural classification ang mga natitirang sakahan?

Ito po ay pagkatapos ibahagi yung data point last budget briefing na ang average farm size in the Philippines is only around 3.59 to 2.03 hectares.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004252

So, given na nga na kakaunti sila.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004253

At syempre kakaunti pa yung may ganitong democratic na paghatian ng mga agricultural lands,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004254

paano po natin may ensure na hindi mailalabas sa agricultural classification ang mga natitirang sakahan?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004255

Lalo na, kinikilala po ba ng DA na mismong kawalan ng land security ng ating mga magsasaka

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004256

ang pangunahing dahilan ng kawalan ng pambansang agricultural productivity and food security?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004257

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004258

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004259

And that is really a major concern of the Department of Agriculture, is how to preserve the remaining agricultural lands.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004260

And as we know, there are a lot of areas that are rapidly industrializing.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004261

One of the things that we need to do is, there are actually a two-pronged approach.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004262

One is to provide value to agricultural lands.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004263

And the way to do this is to make them more productive, and not only to increase production, but to increase profitability.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004264

Because if all farmers are making a profit from their land, then they would not be so quick to sell them to other persons.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004265

So number one is production and profitability.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004266

So the DA is trying to increase its production, and hopefully also through reduction of post-harvest losses,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004267

proper irrigation, support for fertilizers and pesticides, and the proper prices, farm gate prices,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004268

then farmers will be able to make a living, and will not be tempted to sell their lots to speculators and developers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004269

Secondly, that's the approach towards the farmer.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004270

There also needs to be an approach towards developers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004271

And one of the ways that the DA can do this is to work with the LGUs to discuss conversion.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004272

There should be strict rules and guidelines, and if necessary, to even put conversion moratoriums,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004273

so that developers will not be able to just...

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004274

Convert.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004275

And destroy, unfortunately, irrigated land, which has happened very frequently.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004276

So I would say, there would be a two-pronged approach.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004277

To raise value for the farmers, so that they won't sell their land, and number two, is to put a stop to conversion,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004278

and unfortunately, destroying irrigated land.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004279

Touching on doon po sa nabukas na isang prong, and subprong neto, no,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004280

No.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004281

No.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004282

naaalagaan yung kapakanan ng ating mga magsasaka at yung usaping profitability na ang reality,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004283

tama nga po ang narinig natin sa ating good sponsor, marami pong mga magsasaka natin ang napapwersa na ibenta yung kanilang lupa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004284

dahil hindi profitable generally yung kanilang pagsasaka for many reasons.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004285

To the point nga po na batay din po sa nakaraang hearing, ang agricultural sector ay may 10.44 million registered workers na lang sa RSVSA

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004286

na sa 20% ng kabuo ang lakas paggawa ng bansa pero 7.9% lang ang ambag sa GDP at mababa ang youth participation rate.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004287

Hindi po mataas yung bilang ng mga tuloy-tuloy na nakakapag-replenish ng mga participants in the agricultural sector

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004288

at mga mga cultural industry with an average age of 56 years old.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004289

Isang bahagi po niyan yung framework by which paano po natin naaabot yung assistance.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004290

Kung saan, more often than not, it would be loan assistance instead na magkaroon ng direct non-collateral production subsidies.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004291

Ang tanong po natin, Mr. Speaker Good Sponsor, naiintindihan naman natin na merong mga subsidies

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004292

Pero may kadalasan na one-time labas lang po ito versus yung mas available at unfortunately mas nakakalubog na loan assistance.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004293

Bakit po nananatili na ganito ang framework ng DA?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004294

Higher dependence on loan assistance instead of direct non-collateral production subsidies.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004295

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004296

Thank you for that inquiry, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004297

And it does not necessarily mean that if you give credit, then credit is worse than giving direct assistance.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004298

So the DA continues, especially for the rice program, the DA continues to give assistance in terms of seeds, hybrid seeds and inbred seeds through the National Rice Program.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004299

And the RCEP program.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004300

The DA also continues to support with fertilizers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004301

The DA has also given diesel assistance, especially nung tumaas po ang presyo ng diesel.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004302

And the DA has also continued to give marketing assistance.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004303

So the DA continues to give assistance, direct assistance to farmers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004304

But again, there is nothing wrong also with giving access to credit.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004306

We also want people to become enterprises and not to become dependent on the government alone.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004307

So we want them to be able to graduate actually from assistance, hopefully, and eventually establish themselves as strong, independent, financially stable cooperatives and irrigators associations who are with the proper farm gate prices, very profitable, and able to enter into contracts with the government.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004308

And non-government entities.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004309

And to be able to be strong and stable businesses.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004310

So it's not that we're going to support them forever.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004311

But the DA also has a framework upon which they get those cooperatives and irrigators associations which are not yet mature.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004312

They educate them, give them trainings, give them assistance in terms of mechanization, seeds, fertilizers, until such point that they become matured.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004314

They become profitable, hopefully, with the proper farm gate prices and able to stand on their own, able to take on loans.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004315

There's nothing wrong with taking on a loan, especially if you know that your cooperative or that your irrigators association will be able to project a good income for the next 5, 3, 5, 8, 10 years and be able to support the loan that you have taken.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004316

So, yes, it's good that the DA is giving us subsidies and credit.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004317

And together.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004318

They will help us build strong, mature, and financially capable farmers who are working together to become profitable and to produce adequate food supply.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004319

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004320

Sa dulo naman po nito, ang pinangahawakan po nating mga accounts, kung bakit natin binubukas ito, ay sa pagkukonsulta sa mga magsasaka, ang kalimitan na inuulat nila dalawa po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004321

Kung usapin po na kung sila po ay maaaring.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004322

Kung makapagkuha ng mga direct subsidies, kalimitan kung may listahan yan, nahihirapan sila o magugulat na lang sila na hindi po sila maka-include dito sa listahan na ito.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004323

And syempre, ang mas available na method na assistance kung hindi po maka-avail ng gano'n ay yung sa loan na yun nga po, sa puno't dulo po nito, kung dito po nakakapag-default na paano ma...

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004324

i-uplift ng mga magsasaka ang kanilang kahirapan sa ngayon at ito po ay sisingilin pa ng mas malaki sa mga susunod na mga taon, ay hindi rin po nakakapag-encourage na magpanatili sa agricultural industry now that we've seen that mga ilang taon po ang ganitong nagawa.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004325

And unfortunately, hindi po siya naka-entice sa mga kabataan o kaya naman sa mga tagamana ng mga sakahan.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004326

Kaya magpanatili ng ganitong klaseng pag-participasyon sa industriya.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004327

Ang huling tanong na lang po siguro, Madam Speaker, ay Mr. Speaker, Gunsponsor, paano po ba natin may imbitahan ang mga may...

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004328

na pumasok sa agricultural sector.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004329

Kung may ganitong mga policies,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004330

nasa punot-dulo po nito,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004331

ang pinaka-question ay hindi po sa kanila,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004332

hindi nila pagmamayari.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004333

Yung sariling lupa, kalimitan, ay kailangan pong upahan.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004334

And of course, may limitation yung makikita at maaasaan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004335

sa direct financial and production shields.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004336

Paano na lang po may imbitahan ng mga mamamayan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004337

na pumasok sa agriculture or bumalik sa agricultural industry

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004338

given po yung mga iba't-ibang mga issues na na-raise, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004339

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004340

There is only one answer to this.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004341

Pag kumikita po, dudumugin po yan ang mga tao.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004342

Di ba, there is a saying na,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004343

pag nagtayo ka na isang business at kumita si business,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004344

the next day, parang kabuti na yung mga kapitbahay mo,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004345

pareho na yung business nyo.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004346

So there's only one answer actually to that.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004347

And if it is profitable,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004348

then therefore, so many people will rush there and start farming.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004349

But while it continues to be unprofitable with low farmgate prices,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004350

difficult access to market,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004351

difficult access to direct buyers,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004352

then there will not be enough persons

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004353

who want to enter,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004354

who want to enter agriculture.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004355

And secondly,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004356

though I would say that profitability is the number one reason

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004357

that people would enter agriculture,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004358

and there are so many ways to make this profitable.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004359

One of these is through proper irrigation.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004360

Dati po sa amin, we only used to have one cropping.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004361

With the coming of the UPRIS,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004362

the Upper Pampanga River Irrigation System,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004363

they went from one cropping to three croppings.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004364

So after that, so many people started to plant again.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004365

So profitability,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004366

but another reason that I would like to give you is culture.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004367

We need to change the culture of Filipinos.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004368

Farming is honorable,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004369

farming is profitable,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004370

at nakita po natin noong COVID-19,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004371

sino ho ba ang sumikat kung hindi po mga magsasaka?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004372

And there was even a saying on FB na,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004373

eto po yung dumating na araw na mas mahalaga pala ang bukid kesa sa mall.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004374

So we need also to change the culture.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004375

Farming is not for persons who have not gone to school,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004376

who are, that is the last option in their life.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004377

Farming should be a first option of persons who own land.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004378

To own land is to be a wealthy person

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004379

because you have collateral in whatever you do.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004380

But if you don't have land, you are not a wealthy person.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004381

Kasi po, wala po kayong maipreprenda pag meron nung may sakit.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004382

At wala po kayong, that farming in your land is an extra backup po sa pamilya.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004383

So again, make it profitable.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004384

And number two, make it honorable.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004385

And you will have, do dumugin po tayo ng mga magsasaka.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004386

All below the age of 30.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004387

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004388

I'd love to buy in to the vision of the distinguished sponsor here.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004389

Unfortunately, yung nakikita po natin na issue ng profitability ay napakahirap

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004390

dahil po hindi nga po makasurvive ang isang farmer given yung state of the market ngayon.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004391

Hindi lang po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004392

Ito issue siyempre ng paano po nakakapagset ng prices dito sa mga produce na ginagawa ng ating mga farmers.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004393

Pero napapwersa silang makipagkumpetensya sa iba't ibang mga imports na pumapasok at pinaflood yung markets natin.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004394

At ngayon po may mga batas po tayo na rather than mas protektahan kung paano makakapagbigay ng pagkain at ng input

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004395

ng galing sa farmers natin sa iba't ibang merkado dito sa ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004396

Na may...

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004397

May goal for export, diba?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004398

Ang mas na-encourage po ay paano mag-import at paano mas ma-welcome yung mas mababang presyo ng import dito sa ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004399

Yun naman po yung nakita natin, narinig din natin from the Department of Agriculture before

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004400

and compounding issues po ito kung bakit mas nahihirapan ang mga magsasaka natin at nahihirapan silang mag-maintain sa industriya.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004401

Nonetheless, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, ang ending naman po nito ay kailangan po may pagbabago sa ating batas.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004402

Kung saan yung rice importation and dependence po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004403

Sa ating agricultural imports, bayak, ng iba't ibang produce ay kailangan na pong matanggal.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004404

At syempre, yung genuine agrarian land reform ay kailangan na rin pong matrabaho, hindi lang sa batas,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004405

pero paano po ito mabibigyan ng pangil ang Department of Agriculture and Department of Agrarian Reform na gawin.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004406

For now, Mr. Speaker, I no longer have any further questions.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004407

were inadequately conducted in nine regions.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004440

Tama po ba yun?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004441

Unfortunately, tama po kayo that the RSBSA does not?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004448

It's actually an undercount at hindi po lahat ng mga farmers ay nakaka-capture po ng RSBSA because we are relying a lot on the LGU and the MAO or the Municipal Agricultural Workers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004449

But again, limited din po sila. So we do not have direct access to the barangay level, from the municipal to the barangay level because it was devolved.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004450

But it would be very good if there were extension workers.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004451

Naitama na po ba ito? Kasi kaya po, kaya ko po naitanong ito dahil marami po tayong mga farmers na nagre-reklamo na hindi nakarating sa kanila yung mga tulong galing sa ating pamahalaan

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004452

through the Department of...

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004453

...agriculture.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004454

Personally, alam ko naman po na maganda po yung pamamalakad ngayon ng Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004455

Kaya ko lang inano tong issue na to dahil may mga nagsasabi sa akin na medyo may problema yung pagkaano natin sa registry system na to na siyang nagiging dahilan.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004456

Doon sa problema na yun.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004457

So, can the Distinguished Sponsor commit na maitama po natin yung kung ano man yung mga kamalian

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004458

ng mga nagdaang taon, mga nagdaang administration sa Department of Agriculture?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004459

Tama po kayo. Tama po kayo that that all, in fact,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004460

not all farmers are covered or registered.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004461

In fact, a large, I would say, 40% po are not captured by the RSBSA.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004462

So, pag nagbibigayan po ng mga tulong, pag wala po kayo sa RSBSA,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004463

hindi po kayo matutulungan.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004464

So, actually, to let you know,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004465

distinguished speaker and honorable,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004466

Mr. Speaker and Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004467

we continue every day.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004468

You can go to the MAO or the Municipality and register yourself as a farmer every day.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004469

I-share ko lang po yung nangyari sa amin.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004470

Kasi fisher folks po kami.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004471

And nobody registered themselves kasi malayo.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004472

And what's the point?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004473

On the day na nagbigay po ng ayuda,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004474

and they only received, those who received were those registered.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004475

The next day, everybody registered.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004476

So, what we need po are more people.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004477

But again, we cannot wait for the farmers to go to the municipio or to the DA.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004478

Tayo mismo, we have to go down and find the farmers and register them.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004479

So, it would help a lot if there were extension workers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004480

And the DA is strongly pushing for extension workers down to the barangay level,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004481

down to the purok level.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004482

Who will go around.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004483

Hindi po kaya talaga ng MAO ito.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004484

And again, mas maganda po talaga sana kung may extension workers.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004485

Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004486

Ang hinahanap po lang is,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004487

ano po yung ginagawa natin ngayon?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004488

What concrete steps that the Department of Agriculture is doing at present

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004489

para lang ma-resolve itong issue sa region?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004490

Ang mag-registration natin ng ating mga farmers.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004491

Kasi papalpak po ang lahat ng programa ng ating gobyerno na pinupunduhan natin

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004492

kung mayroon pong magre-reklamo na hindi sila napasama.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004493

Ano po yung ginagawa?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004494

To be specific, ano po yung ginagawa natin ngayon?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004495

To correct yung problema dati.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004496

Definitely po, I strongly agree with you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004497

And Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004498

However, the DA's staff is only up to the region.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004499

And we need people down to the barangay talaga.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004500

So mayroon na tayong mga tao.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004501

And what we would need is 23,000 extension workers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004502

More than that, the DA is also conducting an information drive.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004503

So, using media, social media, traditional media,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004504

and also spreading the word against different farmers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004505

We encourage persons.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004506

Kasi hindi po natin sila kayang puntahan lahat eh.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004507

Kulang ng tao.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004508

So we're hoping that they would also realize that they need to be registered.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004509

So hoping na sila naman ho ang magpaparegister din.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004510

Lalo na po kung nagbigay ng ayuda and then they did not receive due to their non-registration.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004511

Hopefully, sila na rin po ang pupunta.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004512

But again, we cannot rely on the farmer to go to us.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004513

We should go down to them.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004514

Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004515

di ba mayroon naman po tayong mga...

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004516

municipal agriculturist, city agriculturist,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004517

hindi po ba natin pwedeng itap yung kanilang mga opisina

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004518

para lang maitama natin yung pagkukulang dito sa registry na ito?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004519

Kasi napakahalaga po ito.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004520

Ako mismo, maraming mga membro ng pamilya ko,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004521

kasi we are farmers,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004522

hindi nga napasama doon sa listahan.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004523

Tama po kayo dyan.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004524

The DA and the League of Municipalities, League of Presidents, League of Barangays,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004525

dapat ho magtulungan sila.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004526

Kasi kawawa rin ho yung mga tao nila pag hindi po nakaregister.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004527

So we need the cooperation po of every LGU.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004528

Kasi sila po yung may municipal agriculturist,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004529

city agriculturist.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004530

So the DA has mentioned to me that they are rolling out self-registration.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004531

Dapat ho, siguro dapat online na ho yung registration.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004532

Ano po?

LGU app

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004539

issue, actually

anim po itong mga issue ko pero

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004588

for the interest of time, dalawa lang

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004589

kasi kaibigan ko yung sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004590

Dalawa lang yung tanong ko.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004591

Tama nga yung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004592

sponsor ang palaging mag-sponsor

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004593

ng

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004594

Department of Agriculture na budget

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004595

kasi dahil sa apelye doon

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004596

talagang

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004597

for agriculture

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004598

talaga.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004599

Isa na lang,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004600

mayroon tayong Rice for All

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004601

program.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004602

Dito sa Special

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004603

Provision sa Rice for All

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004604

ah,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004605

the provision states that

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004606

the amount of 10 billion

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004607

pesos appropriated

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004608

for the Rice for All program

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004609

shall be released directly

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004610

to the Food Terminal

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004611

ah, Inc. or

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004612

FTI.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004613

Can the good sponsor

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004614

explain why

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004615

are we transferring

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004616

10 billion in a lump sum

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004617

directly to

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004618

FTI for the

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004619

Rice for All program?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004620

Yes, Mr. Speaker and Honorable Distinguished Colleague. It says here, for the expansion in 2026, a total of 10 billion has been released directly to Food Terminal Incorporated, the DA?s partner in implementing the Rice for All program.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004621

And sila po ang magbabayad po nung rice.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004622

So ito ay

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004623

nangyari naman.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004624

During the first half of 2026, the program achieved 33.2% of its annual operational target,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004625

generating P586.16 million in total revenue against the funds allocated for procurement and distribution.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004626

So, nangyari naman po yun.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004627

So, we understand that the entire, the whole 10 billion budget for affordable rice, logistics,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004628

warehouse leasing is mandated to be released directly to FTI, which is a government corporation.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004629

However, sa tingin ba ng kagalang-galang butihing sponsor,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004630

why are we handing over a massive pile of cash?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004631

directly to a corporate entity instead of having the Department of Agriculture manage it

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004632

through normal and highly regulated channels?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004633

Unfortunately po, thank you for pointing that out, Honorable Colleague, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004634

The NFA has no mandate to sell rice.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004635

So, that's why it has to be through the food terminal.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004636

So,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004637

Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004638

okay lang po ba sa Department of Agriculture yung ganitong arrangement

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004639

na sa kanila nailagak yung pundo pero ibibigay nila sa other entity in lump sum?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004640

Distinguished Colleague, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004641

so far we've been doing, the D.I. has been doing this and have not encountered any major problems.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004642

So, what particular safeguards do we have in place to guarantee that this amount, no,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004643

ay nagagamit po ng tama, no?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-004644

Nakailang, nakailang taon na po ba tayo na ginagawa natin to?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004645

This is only the first year, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004646

So, makikita po natin, so far, in the first year, eight months, it's going well.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004647

But, we are open to discussing other safeguards po just to make sure na

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004648

they will be faithfuls towards po ng ating 10B.

On importation po, may I ask the DA, given the heavy reliance on imports, what concrete strategies are funded in the 2027 budget to reduce import dependence and achieve measurable self-sufficiency targets?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004662

Thank you for that.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004663

And, um, we'd like to clarify that we are, we are producing, uh, we are, though there are importations, the importations are only meant, Mr. Speaker, to cover the deficit, which happens po sa local production.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004664

And we are, though we are, uh, we are, uh, 70% self-sufficient.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004665

So, uh,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004666

our stocks

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004667

have 12% local production,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004668

62% in imports.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004669

We are not, uh, relying on imports alone.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004670

In fact, we have a very strong rice program, and these are covered po by two main programs, which is the National Rice Program and the RCEF, or, which came about from the rice terrification law.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004671

Both of them have seeds distributions with, um, hybrid, hybrid seeds and inbred seeds.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004672

And there's also infrastructures, trainings, fertilizers, pesticides, and marketing, plus, uh, support po of the farm-to-market roads and irrigation projects.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004673

So, um, we would definitely like to decrease our, um, need to import.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004674

And hopefully, um, we are, um, actually advocating more tariffs.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004675

for, for importing.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004676

So, we are not encouraging imports.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004677

We are encouraging and supporting the needs of local farmers so that they may be able to increase our production.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004678

And again, Mr. Speaker, it, why do we need to encourage local production?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004679

Because the world market is volatile.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004680

And there is the strait of form, Iran-Iraq war, increased prices.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004681

All of which, um, are actually

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004689

actually increasing

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004690

or making it more difficult to import.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004691

So we may come to a time that

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004692

we have the money to import but there is nothing

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004693

to import. So it is best,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004694

the best in which we are

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004695

following our

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004696

policy is to support local

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004697

farmers, make it profitable for

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004698

each and every farmer, and to encourage

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004699

more farmers to continue to plant

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004722

that we are

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004741

ng productivity natin.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004742

Paano po

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004743

nasisiguro ng DA

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004744

yung ating productivity?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004745

gains, na

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004746

sustenable sila?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004747

I mean, how do we ensure that the

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004748

productivity gains are sustainable

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004749

rather than

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004750

or beyond

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004751

the short-term subsidies

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004752

and inputs that we give

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004753

to our farmers?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004754

How do we ensure that our

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004755

productivity

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004756

gains are sustainable?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004757

One of the

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004758

best way to sustain this is to increase

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004759

the budget of the Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004760

Kasi nandito na, umuunlad na po tayo eh.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004761

If suddenly, umatras po tayo,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004762

which actually,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004763

we decrease ourselves by 8%,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004764

if we don't support,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004765

babalik tayo po

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004766

ulit sa lower

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004767

productivity. So we need

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004768

to keep on supporting

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004769

farmers. But, again,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004770

we should not, as I mentioned earlier,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004771

hindi po sila dapat, ano,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004772

naka-hand out lang.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004773

That comes with the maturity po of the organization.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004774

And the maturity po of

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004775

bawat grupo po. Until they reach

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004776

the point that they are already

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004777

matured, knowledgeable,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004778

properly trained, know how to

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004779

modernize,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004780

they have modernized equipment,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004781

they are already digital farmers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004782

And then, at that point, with the proper

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004783

farm gate price,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004784

we can move on

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004785

to other farmers who have not received support.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004786

We can graduate the matured

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004787

farmer organizations

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004788

and irrigation.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004789

And then, move on to those na hindi pa po

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004790

nandun sa

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004791

level of

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004792

maturity ng kanilang organization.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004793

And again, the Rice

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004794

Tariffication Law is actually a

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004795

control po of importation.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004796

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004797

The Rice Tariffication Law, too.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004798

So we're working also towards

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004799

other

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004800

amendments which could

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004801

further support the local

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004802

farmers and

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004803

um,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004804

and support the local farmers

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004805

and decrease importation.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004806

So, in 2024, due to the number

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004807

El Nino and number of

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004808

disasters that occurred,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004809

bumaba po yung ating rice

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004810

palay production. However,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004811

we have moved up and

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004812

our second quarter is actually the highest

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004813

po in 40 years.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004814

So, we have to, it's like

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004815

maarangkada na po yung sasakyan

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004816

natin. Pag po tayong tumigil,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004817

kung hindi po,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004818

babalik na naman tayo.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004819

Tama po. Narinig ko po

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004820

kanina ang pagkakasabi ninyo

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004821

ay umuunlad na tayo.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004822

Maaari ko po bang malaman ang mga

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004823

numero saang bahagi po

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004824

ang pagunlad na ito? Saan po

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004825

ito makikita? At anong

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004826

programa po nga ang

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004827

makaklassify ninyo that we are

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004828

gaining grounds or

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004829

having improvements

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004830

in our

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004831

productivity?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004833

let's look at the trends in rice

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004834

sufficiency level. In

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004835

2023 and

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004836

2022, nasa 77%

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004837

po tayo, 78.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004838

2024, bumaba po siya sa 74.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004839

Ngayon, bumalik tayo sa 78.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004840

So, sana po, let's

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004841

keep that up and get even

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004842

better.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004843

So, there's also trends in palay.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004844

Umaakyat po talaga yung

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004845

ano natin.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004846

An upward trend from

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004847

2017 to 2025.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004848

However, Mr. Speaker, nagkaroon

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004849

po ng El Nino in 2024

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004850

where there was a slight decline.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004851

So, in

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004853

2025,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004854

tumaas din po

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004855

ulit. So hopefully,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004856

trend in palay production,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004857

tumataas din po.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004858

So all commodities, we are really

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004859

on the right track, especially

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004860

last year when we had a record

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004861

budget po of

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004862

2026 for the Department

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004863

of Agriculture. So we hope,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004864

in fact, we haven't even seen

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004865

maximum gains because we're still

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004866

continuing to roll out pa lang.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004867

It's only the

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004868

third quarter of 2026.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004869

We will see even more

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004870

gains po moving forward.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004871

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004872

So let's keep it up po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004873

Thank you. Beyond these numbers,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004874

how do we measure po

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004875

yung effectivity ng mga

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004876

programa natin sa DA?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004877

May metrics po? What metrics

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004878

do we use para mag-translate

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004879

itong mga matataas na figures

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004880

na ito into improved

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004881

incomes, improved livelihood,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004882

improved jobs of our farmers?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004883

Ako po,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004884

thank you, Mr. Speaker. Ako po ay umiikot

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004885

sa distrito ko. And

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004886

I come from a farming district.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004887

I have to say, bumawas yung reklamo ng mga

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004888

tao. Kasi last year, sinisigawan

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004889

na po ako sa covered court.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004890

So that's just going around.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004891

That is what we call management

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004892

by walking around.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004893

But there are also numbers

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004894

that we can show you and we will share with

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004895

few seconds lang po for us to be able to get

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004896

the numbers, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004897

five key result areas

asr-004900

para sa masaganang bagong

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004901

Pilipinas. There is enhanced productivity

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004902

of rice, increased income,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004903

increased food security,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004904

there hopefully will be reduced imports,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004905

and ultimately, less

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004906

poverty. So

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004907

sa rice po,

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004908

the yield po natin

asr-004911

paakyat po tayo.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004912

looking at the latest po,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004913

our income went up

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004914

from 10,710

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004915

to

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004916

14,620.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004917

Income increase po yan.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004918

And just the price of the palay

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004919

na lang alone. Last year,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004920

it was 11.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004921

I even heard 9.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004922

Today, someone told me

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004923

15. And officially,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004924

nakasulat po dito is 23.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004925

But that alone is more than

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004926

enough to let you know that

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004927

we are moving forward.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004928

So we ask this August body

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004929

to support our

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004930

budget so that we don't lose the

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004931

gains that we have made.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Thank you, Mr. Chair, distinguished

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004934

katanungan na lang po, ang gusto ko lang po,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004935

lamang pong malaman, how effective

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004936

we are in doing our

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004937

jobs and mandates. We may claim

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004938

that our figures have increased,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004939

the prices of palay

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004940

is this much, and

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004941

productivity is high.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004942

But ultimately, at the end of

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004943

the day, what is important to us

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004944

and the ordinary

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004945

lives of Filipinos, especially the

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004946

farmers, kung paano po na translate

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004947

ng mga programa at ng

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004948

mandato ng Department of

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004952

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004953

So ang tanong ko po, meron bang

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004954

sukatan? Paano sinusukat ng

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004955

DA ang effectiveness nito?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004956

Meron po ba tayong independent

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004957

third-party audit

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004958

that will really say na oo,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004959

after all, we have improved

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004960

the lives of our constituents?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004961

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004962

There are two ways po to do this. One is by

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004963

numbers. So our

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004964

poverty incidence among farmers and fisher

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004965

folk has gone down steadily

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004966

from

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004967

2020,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004968

2022, 2023, and is on

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004969

a downward trend. So

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004970

pababa po yung aming farmers,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004971

fisher folks, and nationwide

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004972

poverty incidence, okay?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004973

And then number two, so

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004974

those are the numbers

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004975

coming from the PSA, the DA, and

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004976

various agencies. But there is

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004977

also the story of individual

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004978

farmers. And

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004979

last

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004980

month, meron pong

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004981

pumunta sa akin na farmer, because

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004982

we were giving the 2,325

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004983

pesos. He

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004984

told me personally, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004985

Doktora, thank you, dalawa

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004986

na po ang civil engineer ko.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004987

Isn't that powerful?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004988

So our farmers,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004989

we tend to think of them as subsistence,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004990

but a lot of them are

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004991

educating their children. Farming

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004992

is no longer their sole source of income.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004993

They have already a diversified income

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004994

stream. And that alone

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004995

can show us, aside

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004996

from the numbers, the personal stories

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004997

of people on the ground

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004998

can tell us that we are

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-004999

on, we are,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005000

I wouldn't say we're doing a good

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005001

job, but we are doing our best.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005002

But we can still do better.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005003

And hopefully, with

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005004

proper budget support

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005005

and cooperation of

536.77 million

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005029

under year 2

to expand

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005031

our national soil

infrastructure. Given

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005033

the 8% macro cut

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005034

to the Department of Agriculture

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005035

for 2027,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005036

how much of the total

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005037

536.77 million

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005038

tier 2

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005039

request was completely denied

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005040

or is lost

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005041

by the DBM?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005042

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005043

are we asking about the

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005044

Bureau of Soils and Water Management?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005045

That's correct.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005046

Thank you so much, po.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005047

Sadly, no, with the decrease

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005048

of the DA budget, a number

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005049

of

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005050

agencies,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005051

in fact, I would say

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005052

500 million

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005053

was denied from

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005054

the Bureau of Soils and Water

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005055

Management. And unfortunately,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005056

this Bureau was one of those whose

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005057

budget went down due to a

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005058

decrease of the DA budget altogether.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005059

Thank you, Mrs. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005060

Madam Sponsor. My next question,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005061

because of this deficit,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005062

how many of the 11 targeted

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005063

soil laboratories

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005064

or our provinces

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005065

in 2027 have been

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005066

completely defunded

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005067

or put

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005068

on hold? Which specific

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005069

provinces are now being

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005070

deprived of these vital

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005071

facilities due

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005072

to this lack of budget?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005073

Unfortunately, you are correct

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005074

that there will definitely be

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005075

a lack of

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005076

We won't be able to sustain as much

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005077

programs as we did last year.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005078

So,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005079

let me check how many will be

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005080

defunded exactly.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005081

Well, the targets, po, for

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005082

2026 will happen. But for

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005083

2027, we were unable to

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005084

fund 16 soil laboratories,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005085

which are badly needed,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005086

Mr. Speaker. And thank you for bringing this up.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005087

Mr. Speaker, Madam

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005088

Sponsor, what's the reason behind

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005089

how come hindi natin na

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005090

budgetan lahat? And you know,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005091

this is so important. We're talking about soil

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005092

and water management.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005093

Bakit hindi sila napondohan? Kasi po,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005094

they requested

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005095

a larger amount. Unfortunately,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005096

yun lang po ang nabigay sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005097

So, if you notice, from the

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005098

budget po of 2026 GAA,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005099

they received 2.4.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005100

Ngayon po, only

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005101

1.8.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005102

So, decrease

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005103

of 34%. So, malaki-laki po yun.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005104

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005105

So, moving on to my

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005106

next question. Madam, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005107

Madam Sponsor, the

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005108

BSWM has a mandate

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005109

to hit 30

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005110

functional soil testing facilities.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005111

by 2028

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005112

to combat soil

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005113

infertility and

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005114

degradation. If we are

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005115

underserving, if

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005116

underservicing and underfunding

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005117

the 11 provincial

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005118

labs required for

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005119

2027, is the

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005120

DA officially admitting that the

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005121

2028 target is no longer

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005122

attainable?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005123

Yes, because we can only reach properly

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005124

funded projects or

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005125

targets. So, we may have to adjust

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005126

our targets based on what we receive.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005127

Thank you,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005128

Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005129

What is the revised realistic

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005130

timeline to give our

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005131

local farmers localized

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005132

soil testing

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005133

now that 2027

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005134

budget has been

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005135

constrained?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005136

Are you asking for a date?

and hopefully, given the limited

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005159

up to my next question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005160

This is topic regarding the Supreme Court

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005161

ruling on SRA

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005162

early retirement incentives program.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005164

I would like to bring to the attention

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005165

of the distinguished sponsor

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005166

the long pending retirement benefits

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005167

of former employees

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005168

of SRA or the SUGA

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005169

Regulatory Administration. I think this

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005170

happened not that time of our

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005171

good Secretary. Ito'y matagal na itong kasong tuwi.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005172

Am I correct that this controversy

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005173

goes back to SRA's

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005174

organizational rationalization

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005175

in 2015

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

The Supreme Court has already decided

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005180

to pay the employees

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005181

but the govern...

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005182

But however, the Governance

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005183

Commission

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005184

for GOCCs

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005185

will be the ones to decide who are the

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005186

entitled employees. So we are

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005187

honoring and will

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005188

submit to the Supreme Court decision.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005189

However, we are

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005190

waiting for a decision who will be

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005191

the entitled employees.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005192

Can you repeat that

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005193

answer again?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005194

Nag-decision na po yung Supreme Court

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005195

which the DA respects

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005196

and will follow. However,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005197

kung sino po yung mga empleyadong

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005198

entitled to their

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005199

benefits and other

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005200

retirements,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005201

we are waiting for the GCG

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005202

which is the

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005203

Governance Commission

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005204

for GOCCs

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005205

to decide who are the

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005206

entitled employees. But once

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005207

they have decided kung sino po yun,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005208

rest assured na makukuha po

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005209

yung kailangan nila by law.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005210

I just want to make myself clear, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005211

So there's a Supreme Court

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005212

decision and that we have

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005213

to respect that it has to be

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005214

implemented right away but as we know

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005215

we are under GCG

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005216

so it's up to GCC

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005217

and GCG. Did you submit

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005218

that to GCG already?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005219

Yes, definitely the list

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005220

of employees has been submitted to the GCG

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005221

and rest assured

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005222

ipa-follow up din po namin kung ano po ang nangyayari.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005223

All the employees that was

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005224

part of this decision, yung ba na-submit

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005225

lahat na? Sila lahat? The names?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005226

Lahat sila?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005227

Yes, all

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005228

concerned employees' names

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005229

were submitted to the GCG

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005230

and they will let us

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005231

know as soon as possible

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005232

kung sino po yung entitled.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005233

But rest assured, we are

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005234

we are

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005235

going, we are respecting

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005236

the Supreme Court decision

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005237

and will act accordingly.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005238

Okay. In 2015

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005239

the SRA formulated

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005240

an organizational strengthening

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005241

rationalization plan or RAT plan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005242

The plan included an early

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005243

retirement incentive program or

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005244

ERIP

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005245

for affected personnel.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005246

What happened after the employees

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005247

were separated on August 1, 2016?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005248

Were the

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005249

ERIP benefits immediately

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005250

released?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005251

Thank you for that

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005252

concern for our employees, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005253

And thank you

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005254

for that question, honorable

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005255

colleague.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005256

Rest assured that the DA

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005257

is

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005258

fully compliant with all DOLE

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005259

and, sorry,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005260

with all Civil Service Commission

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005261

requirements. So,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005262

kung ano po ang dapat sa mga empleyado,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005263

eh handa po kami silang tulungan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005264

Okay. So,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005265

follow up question, but they were

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005266

already considered separated from

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005267

the service. They were no longer

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005268

included.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005269

beginning August 1, 2016. Is this correct?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005269-split-2

Ah, that is correct, Mr. Speaker. Rest assured, Mr. Speaker, honorable and esteemed colleagues, that the SRA will be looking into this and kung ano man ang dapat po sa mga empleyado ay ibibigay naman po sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005269-split-3

Thank you very much for that concern.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005270

Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, let me go straight to the point. On November 26, 2024, the Supreme Court decided Villanueva Jr. v. Sugar Regulatory Administration involving 75 former SRA officials and employees. What did the court rule regarding the entitlement to the ERIP benefits?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005271

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And the court held that the petitioners or the 75 former SRA officials and employees became entitled by law and equity to the retirement benefits under the SRA's approved RAT plan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005272

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor. And what exactly did the Supreme Court order the government?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005273

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague. The court ordered the SRA, the GCG, and the DBM to determine, process, and facilitate the release of the retirement benefits to which the petitioners are entitled under the SRA's 2015 RAT plan with due and deliberate dispatch.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005274

Thank you. I'm done with that line of questioning because the Supreme Court already made a decision.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005275

And you already provided that to GCG. So, moving forward, this is my favorite topic, rice industry import dependence. On rice, the Department of Production target for 2027 is approximately 19 million metric tons. Is this correct?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005276

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005277

At the same time, the rice imports were projected to exceed 5 million metric tons.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005278

5 million metric tons by the end of 2026. Is that right, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005279

Yes, again, Mr. Speaker, that is proper and correct.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005280

Thank you. Why does import dependence remain this high despite the substantial public resources being poured into the rice sector?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005281

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005282

Again, Mr. Speaker, as assured, that it is not the DA's policy to encourage importation.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005283

We have to import due to unexpected developments that happen in the agricultural sector,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005284

which includes El Nino and various climate change and disasters.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005285

Plus, again, we also did not expect the rapid increase in fertilizer.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005286

We also did not anticipate the increase in diesel, which I believe is a worldwide problem

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005287

and has affected rice farmers, not only in the Philippines, but including Vietnam, China, etc.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005288

So, all of these were unexpected developments that unfortunately forced us to import.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005289

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005290

Madam Sponsor, as we know, I think I've been asking our good Secretary last year or a year or two,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005291

that, okay pa rin po ba tayo magtanim ng bigas?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005292

Because right now, I think 19 million metric tons is a lot, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005293

Kumpara mo, and we still need to import.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005294

So, is it high time mag-iba na tayo ng ating production?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005295

Ito, do you think is that feasible?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005296

And I think the last time that I spoke with the good Secretary,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005297

we can use the Candaba Swamp, which your area, Madam Sponsor, am I right?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005298

Tama po kayo.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005299

The 4th District of Pampanga covers the Candaba Swamp.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005300

And I would like to share, Mr. Speaker, that the Candaba Swamp is not only in Candaba,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005301

but includes 4 municipalities in Pampanga,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005302

which includes San Simon, San Luis, Apalit, and Candaba,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005303

and including municipalities po in Bulacan, that includes San Miguel, San Rafael, and San Ildefonso.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005304

Thank you, Madam, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005305

Let me get to my last 3 questions.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005306

Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005307

Congress enacted the Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005308

because it's smuggling directly,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005309

directly hurts Filipino producers.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005310

Based on the latest data as of July 7, 2026,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005311

the Bureau of Customs reported 24 criminal cases involving agricultural smuggling,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005312

15 cases endorsed for prosecution under the new law.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005313

Now, my questions to the good Sponsor, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005314

what is DA's specific role in identifying,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005315

and building these cases?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005316

Thank you so much, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005317

The DA plays a big role in the anti-economic sabotage and anti-smuggling

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005318

trusts and policies and activities of this government.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005319

And they collaborate po in intelligence, sino po ang nag-import at kung saan na wala pong tamang mga papeles.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005320

And they cooperate closely po with law enforcement that includes PNP, the Bureau of Customs,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005321

and they also collaborate po with the Department of Justice later on and the NBI for the filing of cases.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005322

However, I would like to point out that the DA, despite having an Inspectorate and Enforcement Division

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005323

headed by very inspired and hardworking persons, they still lack the enforcement capacity.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005324

So hindi po sila yung frontliners.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005325

I would also like to share that they're putting up

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005326

all around the country. They lack budget, their employees are J.O., and they even lack cars.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005327

So what actions are taken to combat smuggling and hoarding?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005328

The DA has sent inspection teams to the ports of Manila, Manila International Container Port,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005329

Naia, Batangas, Subic, Cebu, Davao.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005330

Sambuanga, and Cagayan de Oro to monitor and support border inspections.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005331

So despite the limited budget, ginagawa po nila yun.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005332

Meron din po silang DAIE teams to monitor and witness the conduct of the second border inspection and condemnation activities.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005333

Meron din po silang Special Operations Group to serve as the official representative of the office

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005334

during high-risk enforcement operations.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005335

And they have an investigation branch to monitor.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005336

To monitor the implementation of banner programs.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005337

And to monitor also illegal smuggling and economic sabotage activities.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005338

So despite their limited budget due to limited fiscal space,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005339

they are doing a variety of activities to be able to support our anti-smuggling and anti-economic sabotage policies.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005340

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005341

Last question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005342

El Nino, crop insurance after calamities.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005343

Mrs. Speaker, good sponsor, DAIE has already stated before

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005344

that strong El Nino could have reduced polyproduction by approximately 750,000 metric tons.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005345

Is this correct?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005346

Nagbigay na po ng assistance po ang DAIE.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005347

What I'm trying to say is...

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005348

And we're also working on...

para po temporarily ma-suspend muna

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005429

o mabawasan ang excise taxes sa petroleum products.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005430

Mahalaga ito, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005431

dahil alam po natin kung gaano ginagamit

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005432

ng ating mga magsasaka

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005433

sa kanilang mga makinarya, traktora, ang langis.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005434

Ganon din po sa mga manging isda.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005435

Yung krudo na ginagamit nila sa pamamalakaya,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005436

sa paglalaot,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005437

ay nakakaapekto po ang mataas na presyo ng langis.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005438

Sa katunayan, yung isa nga pong mahalagang concern na napaabot din natin sa ating lead council dito sa House of Representatives,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005439

hindi po talaga sapat yung mga fuel subsidy dahil nasa 2,000 plus pesos lang po ito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005440

at malayo doon sa kinakailangan na nasa 15,000 to 30,000 na kailangan ng isang bangka

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005441

para matiyak na siya ay makapamalaot at magaroon ng huli.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005442

Para sa isang araw.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005443

Kaya ang nangyayari, yung dapat sana na fuel subsidy,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005444

imbes na gamitin nila pambili ng langis, ay ginagamit na lang pong pambili ng pagkain.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005445

Ang nangyayari po dyan, natatalo po yung ating layunin na matulak ang mga magsasaka at mangingisda. Sa magsasaka, magpatuloy sa pagtatanim at sa mga mangingisda naman, makapagpatuloy po sa paglaot.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005446

Ngayon, dahil po naglabas na ng certification ang Department of Energy at tungkol po dun sa pag-abot natin dun sa trigger na nasa 80 US dollars per barrel na presyo po ng Dubai crude oil,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005447

meron na po ba tayong maaasahang aksyon mula dito sa uplift at meron po bang rekomendasyon ang Department of Agriculture tungkol sa pagsususpindi at pagbabawasan?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005448

Thank you so much, Mr. Speaker. Ito po, I would like to share the position of the Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005449

The DA supports in principle the temporary de-implementation or suspension of VAT and excise tax on fuel during periods of exceptionally high fuel prices as a measure to reduce cost pressures across the agricultural and fisheries value chain.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005450

Moreover po, ano pa po ang ginagawa natin?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005451

We are including the fuel assistance po sa ating QRF and we are seeking po more funds for fuel assistance.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005452

Maraming salamat, Ginong Speaker. Nagagalak po tayong marinig ng posisyon ng Department of Agriculture,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005453

hindi lang bawasan o hindi lang temporarily suspindihin ang excise taxes sa petroleum products, kundi pati na rin ang value-added tax.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005454

Napakabigat po ng 12% na VAT sa petroleum products na lalong nagpapasirit ng presyo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005455

Nang langis, maaari po ba nating malaman kung ano pa ang hinihintay na desisyon pagdating sa pagsususpindi o pagbabawas o pagsama ng VAT?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005456

Dahil ang posisyon ng DA malinaw, pero sino pa po ba ang ating hinihintay sa ngayon?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005457

Dahil ang DOE may certification na yung uplift ba, nakapagpulong na po ba?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005458

Kailan po natin maaasahan na magkaroon ng anunsyo tungkol sa paggamit?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005459

At nang emergency powers na ito?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005460

Mr. Speaker, last week po, there was a high-level cabinet meeting regarding increasing fuel prices.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005461

So, rest assured na pinagplaplanuhan na po ang pagtaas, sadly, ang pagtaas ng fuel prices.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005462

Mr. Speaker, ang panawagan po ng representasyon na ito dapat sa lalong madaling panahon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005463

Dahil yan naman po ang layunin ng pag-grant ng emergency powers na mabilis na magagawa ng aksyon yung dapat pong matugunan na issue ng ating mga kababayan sa pagsirit ng presyo ng lanis.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005464

Malinaw po na meron ng trigger, naabot na yan, may certification na rin mula sa DOE.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005465

Ang kinakailangan po natin, mabilis na aksyon ng pamahalaan tungkol dito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005466

Dahil sa bawat araw na hindi tayo...

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005467

Kumikilos sa bawat araw na naghihintay po tayo ng pag-anunsyo, ay isang araw din na lalong pinapasa ng mga kababayan natin yung mas mataas na presyo ng lanis.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005468

Hindi lang po yan nakaka-apekto sa agrikultura.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005469

Alam po natin kung gano'n rin katindi ang impact sa transport sector, sa logistics, na lubos din po ang effect sa agriculture sector, sa delivery, sa transport ng kanilang mga local produce.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005470

Kaya muli, dapat po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005471

Hindi lang suspindihan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005472

Kung pwede nga, pag-aralan na rin po ng kapulungan na ito na ibasura yung excise taxes sa petroleum products.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005473

Gayun din, panahon na na ma-review, hindi lang po yung pag-suspindi, pagbabawas, kundi yung pagtatanggal ng 12% na value-added tax sa mga mahalaga lang naman po na pangangailangan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005474

Kumbaga yung mga basic needs ng ating mga kababayan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005475

Pagkain, kuryente, iba pang utilities at langis.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005482

And we have a list po of resolved cases by the DA which we are happy to share po with our distinguished colleagues, Mr. Speaker.

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005486

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005488

And we are happy to share them with our colleague.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005489

And again, ano po, I personally witnessed the DA distribution of assistance.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005490

Napaka-thorough po po nila, including pictures of every single farmer.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005491

And when they give assistance, malakihan po yan eh.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005492

So, it's a small town.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005493

It's a small barangay.

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005494

People know each other eh.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005495

And we actually say on the mic, and I have to credit the DA po, sinasabi po nila, kung meron pong may reklamo, magreklamo na po on the spot.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005496

If they do feel that an unqualified person.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005497

was given assistance.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005498

Actually, tying it to our previous distinguished colleagues, Mr. Speaker, question about the RSBSA.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005499

Malaking bagay po talaga.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005500

Actually, I would be more concerned about persons not, qualified persons not receiving assistance versus like a syndicate of unqualified persons rushing to receive assistance.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005501

As we have discussed earlier, there is actually an undercount of the RSBSA.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005502

So, ang dami pong, mas marami pong nagre-reklamo po sa amin na hindi po sila nasama doon sa tulong ng DA kesa sa doon sa nagre-reklamo na hindi po qualified yung katabi po nilang kasama.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005503

So, again, we can only correct all of these and resolve all of these and rest assured that the DA is very open to complaints right there and then on the spot po.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005504

Pwede pong magreklamo at tatanggapin po namin.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005505

Aside from that po, we also need to work po with the LGUs kasi sila po talaga.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005506

We don't have extension workers and the mouse to make sure po na yung talagang tama ho yung kuhanan po, nabigyan po ng assistance.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005507

And rest assured po, if we find anybody or any group that is organizing themselves and falsely misrepresenting themselves to receive assistance from the government, e kakasuhan po yun.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005508

Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005509

Dalawang bagay na napakahalaga mula po sa sagot ng ating Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005510

Yung una, dapat naman talaga matiyak natin na kung ano yung observation ng COA magagawa natin ng paraan para mahigpit at kung ano yung dapat na financial assistance sa mga rice farmers na sobrang sobra na apektado ng rice importation ay ating matutulungan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005511

Sa pangalawang mahalagang bagay na nabanggitin nyo, yung kahirapan din ng ating mga farmers sa pagpaparegister.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005512

Sa totoo lang po, hindi po yan ang unang pagkakataon na narinig ng representasyon na ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005513

Hindi lang po sa mga magsasaka, pero sa bahagi din po ng ating mga banging isda na hindi po lahat, lalong-lalo na yung ating mga maliliit na mga fisher folk ay nakakapagparegister at napapaabutan po ng kinakailangan na tulong.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005514

Abagamat, naiintindihan ko po, kasi nakita rin natin dito, Mr. Speaker, na bagamat gusto pong matulungan lahat ng mga nakaregister, napakaliit na prosyento lang po yung natutulungan kasi napakalimitado lang po ng pondo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005515

Para sa ganitong tipo ng mga subsidies at mga financial assistance.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005516

Kaya nga po, at nakita ko rin po ang puno ng ating committed agriculture na tayo po ay hindi lang umaasa, pero excited po tayo na dapat naman,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005517

kung paano ko na napag-usapan yung pinapanawagan na production subsidy ng mga farmers and fisher folk dito sa ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005518

Dahil, Mr. Speaker, sa kanila din po nagmumula.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005519

Nagmumula yung mga pinakamahihirap nating mga kababayan na nanatiling nasa 25 to 36 percent pa rin po ang poverty incidence sa sektor ng agriculture,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005520

lalong-lalo na po farmer, fisher folk at workers in the agricultural sector.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005521

Ngayon po, meron ba kayong proposal dun po sa inyong original na naisumite sa DBM na may kinalaman sa fuel subsidies,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005522

financial assistance?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005523

and production subsidies na hindi naisama sa General Appropriations Bill.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005524

Yung mga priority natin na sa tingin po natin dapat pondohan, pero sa ngayon ay hindi nalaana ng pondo sa General Appropriations Bill.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005525

Mr. Speaker, tinatanong ko ito dahil ang mga magsasaka at may ngisda talaga pong gustong banguna rin na itulak

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005526

na ito na dapat huwag tayong pumayag na hindi malalagyan ng production subsidies sa ngayon ang ating farmers and fisher folk.

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005527

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Tama po yun. Sadly, I have to agree po with our distinguished colleagues.

Our hybrid solar power ice plants at marami pa pong iba, which I would be happy to share with our distinguished colleagues dito, Mr. Speaker.

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005533

So, yes, unfortunately, maraming nabawasan.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005534

Mr. Speaker, mahingi din na lang po tayo ng detalyadong report tungkol naman sa access sa fertilizer.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005535

Dahil po bukod sa langis, yan din po ang isa sa pinakasumirit ang presyo dahil muli nakaasa na naman po tayo sa importation.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005536

Samantalang, marami din pong lumapit sa representasyon na ito na marami pong mga locally developed fertilizer na kulang-nakulang po ang suporta pagdating sa pagsiscale ng production para makatulong sa ating local agriculture.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005537

That's for another deliberation and discussion. Pero napakahalaga po ng usapin ng access ng abono dito sa ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005538

Ngayon, nais ko naman pong magtanong. Sundan ko lang po yung mga katanungan ng mga nauna.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005539

Sa minority tungkol sa rice importation. Sinabi po ni DA Secretary Chula Aurel nitong September 2026 lang po na 5 million metric tons ang tinatayang rice imports ngayong taong 2026.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005540

Kung titignan sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas, ang ating rice importation mula taong 2000, ito na ang pinakamataas na import ng ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005541

Ano po ba ang magiging epekto nito sa ating rice self-sufficiency at sa kita ng mga local farmers?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005542

Hindi po ba ito indikasyon na sa halip na mababawasan ang ating dependence sa imported rice, lalo pa nating matataasan yung ating dependence sa imported rice.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005543

Sa katunayan po, mula sa 9% na rice import dependence mula taong 1990, tumaas na ito ng 23%.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005544

Sa taong 2022. So ganun po kabilis, Mr. Speaker, yung pagsirit na nga rice import dependence natin.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005545

From 9% in the year 1990 to 23% in the year 2022. So more than double.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005546

Kaya po nababahala tayo sa pahayag na ito na buka pong tayo na naman ang magiging isa sa pinakamataas.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005547

Nangunguna na rice importer dito sa ating bansa sa buong mundo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005548

Samantalang sa ating bansa, marami po tayong very much willing pa rin to be involved, get involved, and actively produce through our local agriculture.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005549

Pero nabanggit nyo rin po kanina sa isa nating interpellator na hanggat hindi mo sasagutin yung issue ng profits, hanggat hindi mo matitiyak yung maayos na farm gate price,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005550

mamamatay po talaga yung ating local production.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005551

So ang katanungan ko po ay wala po bang ibang plano bukod sa mag-asa na naman po sa rice importation para sa susunod na taon?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005552

Mr. Speaker, again, we had to import because of the El Nino situation for this year.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005553

But definitely next year.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005554

Last year, there was a large drop in imports because we suspended importation to support farm gate prices.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005555

So we are open to various interventions to support our local farmers and to give them prices that are competitive and that will...

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005556

support the

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005557

cost of the inputs.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005558

So, next year, we foresee

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005559

our importation going down.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005560

And again,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005561

wala pa bang ibang magagawa?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005562

Well, definitely,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005563

we will continue to support

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005564

our local farmers

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005565

and hopefully,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005566

tataas po yung kanilang production.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005567

Hopefully, this will become a trend

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005568

and as we continue to produce

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005569

and to produce

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005570

not only produce balay,

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005571

but produce value

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005605

nakulangan lang po tayo dun sa pagsiset

na magkaroon na talaga

asr-005608

ng floor price

asr-005611

ay makakatulong para

makabawi naman yung ating mga magsasaka

asr-005619

our pricing of palay

And

asr-005623

price of palay.

asr-005624

asr-005626

No. 100, which you mentioned,

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005627

establishment of a floor price

asr-005629

mechanism to prevent, to protect

asr-005630

Filipino farmers from unfairly

low farmgate prices, ensure a

Thank you, Mr. Speaker,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005636

wala pa po kayong recommendation.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005637

Para matiyak lang po. Na kumbaga,

factors

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005641

na wala na sa control

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005642

ng ating mga farmers. Pero matitiyak

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005643

po natin, halimbawa,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005644

meron po tayong crop insurance

para sa mga nasira

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005653

sa presyo ng mga farmgate price,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005654

hindi po ba tayo

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005655

magsusulong ng proteksyon sa kanila

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005656

sa pamamagitan ng standard

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005657

floor price?

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005658

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005659

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005660

I would like to share with you

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005661

three pillars po ng Department

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005662

of Agriculture regarding the

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005663

low purchasing price of palay.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005664

Number one, the higher

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005665

government buying prices for palay.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005666

And we are

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005667

working together with the NFA.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005668

Today, we have a price

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005669

of 21 for wet

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005670

and 27 for dry.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005671

So, the NFA will continuously

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005672

procure palay in all areas,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005673

nationwide.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005674

Yes, with available, still

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005675

with available warehouse space

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005676

at competitive government buying prices.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005677

And the NFA is also

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005678

number one,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005679

renting

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005680

additional warehouses.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005681

We'll build 65

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005682

new warehouses. And number

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005683

three, we'll also enter into

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005684

MOUs with

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005685

other LGUs and

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005686

possibly even

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005687

local farmer

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005688

cooperatives who have received

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005689

warehouses and palay

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005690

and rice processing

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005691

systems, which unfortunately

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005692

were not able to run

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005693

them. So, the NFA will take

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005694

over all of these. They will have

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005695

new warehouses, rent

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005696

warehouses, and use

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005697

warehouses which are not being used.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005698

So, malaking bagay na po yan.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005699

And by the way, the NFA is also saying

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005700

if any LG would like

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005701

to donate land, magtatayo

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005702

din po silang warehouse doon.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005703

Secondly, agripahunan at pantawid program.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005704

So, we have low-cost credit, market

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005705

support, and guaranteed buying prices

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005706

for farmers' harvests.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005707

And

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005708

again, issuance of executive order

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005709

number 100 regarding the

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005710

floor price, which I have also already

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005711

mentioned. So, yan po yung three pillars

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005712

for the DA

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005713

to address the low purchasing

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005714

prices of palay.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005715

So, we share your concern, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005716

and encourage

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005717

the DA to keep on

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005718

working with farmers to establish

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005719

a purchase price that

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005720

will allow them to make a reasonable

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005721

profit above and beyond

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-005722

their production costs.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005723

Sa ngayon, Mr. Speaker, nasa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005724

12 pesos hanggang 15 pesos

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005725

ang kada kilo ng palay. At ang

na

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005794

para sa Pilipinas,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005795

hindi po para sa Pilipinas ang full

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005796

liberalization dahil nga

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005797

that a full

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005798

total liberalization is not enough.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005799

It's not for the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005800

It's not for our situation

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

in the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-005802

So, with that in mind,

we've pushed for

amendments

tungkol dito sa pag-decrease

ng budget na ito

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-005998

dahil

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-005999

Karamihan po ng aking mga constituents na IPs ay nagpaabot po ng mensahe patungkol dito.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006000

Can DA actually commit po to continue and support the 4K program?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006001

Rest assured po, I would like to also share, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006002

though mababawasan ang support ng nakalaan sa atin pong IPs because of the decrease in the NEP,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006003

sa ngayon po, they are also being integrated, ang mga 4K sa mga banner programs ng DA.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006004

So despite the decrease in budget, we will do our best to assist them by integrating them into banner programs.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006005

Madam, our distinguished colleague and Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006006

Yes, maraming salamat, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006007

Ngunit gusto ko lamang pong ipaabot sa DA at sa aking mga colleagues na

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006008

malugod po namin sinusuportahan ang 4K.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006009

Dahil ang mga katutubong natulungan ng 4K program na ito ay masaya at mas lumalagot pa po ang kanilang negosyo.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006010

Kung ang balak po ng DA ay mawala po ang 4K program, ay sana po ay hindi.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006011

Instead, this will continue in the near future.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006012

Madam Speaker, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, before I proceed to my next topic,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006013

I wish to manifest my support for the continuation.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006014

and strengthening of the 4K program.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006015

Nakikita po natin on the ground na ito ay tunay na nakakatulong sa ating IP farmers and fisher folks

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006016

at mahalaga na mapanatili at mapalakas po ang pondo para mas marami pang komunidad ang makinabang dito.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006017

At sana ay ibalik ang pondo na intended sa mga katutubong umaasang matulungan sa 4K program na ito.

Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006019

I will now proceed to my questions regarding the weather index-based parametric insurance.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006020

In our consultations with farmers and fisher folks,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006021

we were informed that the DA-BFAR, in collaboration with the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006022

piloted a weather index-based parametric insurance for registered municipal fisher folk.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006023

Ito ay isang klase ng insurance that pays a pre-agreed amount to beneficiaries

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006024

kagaya ng mga triggers, kagaya ng mga high wind speed or typhoon signal.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006025

May I know any updates on this matter po?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006026

Mr. Speaker, I'd like to share the following updates.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006027

In consultation, we were informed that the DABFAR and the PCIC are piloting, as you mentioned po,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006028

a weather index-based parametric insurance for registered municipal fisher folks.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006029

So they have already covered 14,215 fisherfolk in Occidental Mindoro, Antique, Cebu, Surigao del Norte, and Negros Oriental.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006030

And they have a budget for 10 million, which will run from 2025 to 2026.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006031

They're also developing an actuarial model.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006032

Maraming salamat, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006033

My office also received information that local government units or LGUs

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006034

that have been selected to pilot this insurance scheme from Negros Oriental and Surigao del Norte

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006035

have endorsed the continuation of the project in 2027.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006036

Have you included in your 2027 budget the phase 2 of parametric insurance?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006037

Yes, we have included the 2027 budget.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006038

And how much do you think?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006039

Mr. Speaker po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006040

I'm sorry. Madam Sponsor, 10 million po yung kinakailangan para sa phase 2, tama?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006041

Mr. Speaker, yes, that is the needed budget.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006042

For our targeted area.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006043

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006044

Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, I will now proceed with my questions na nais ipahatid ng aking colleague na si Representative Laila de Lima.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006045

This is regarding the Fisheries Administrative Order 266, yung Vessel Monitoring System and Electronic Reporting System po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006046

Noong January 21 of 2026, dineklara ng Supreme Court en banc

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006047

na unconstitutional ang FAO 266 na nagresulta sa pag-invalidate ng Mandatory Vessel Monitoring System

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006048

at Electronic Reporting System requirements para sa mga commercial Philippine flag fishing vessels.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006049

Ang tanong ko, since ang VMS at ERS ay mahalagang tools para mamonitor ang fishing activities at ma-deter ang illegal, unreported, and unregulated,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006050

fishing, ano po ang naging kongkretong epekto ng Declaration of Unconstitutionality nito sa monitoring at enforcement efforts ng BFAR,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006051

particularly sa pag-pigil ng illegal fishing at protekta sa marine resources at kabuhayan ng mga munisipal fisherfolk?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006052

Mr. Speaker, despite the nullification of FAO 266, the BFAR continues to implement Vessel Monitoring,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006053

where it is required under the Philippines' international fisheries obligations,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006054

including it as a condition for access to the waters of other coastal states and to fishing grounds managed by the regional fishing management organizations.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006055

So, yes, humina po ang BFAR's enforcement capabilities, but they are still doing their best po.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006056

They retain alternative enforcement tools, including vessel inspection, sea patrol, onboard observers, etc.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006057

Marami po silang ginagawa, so we are happy to share that with you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006058

Following this ruling po, Madam Sponsor, ano po ang mga alternative systems o mechanisms na ginagamit ngayon ng BFAR to monitor fishing activities

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006059

at maisagawa ang mga functions na dating sinasaklaw ng VMS at ERS?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006060

So, the following po, Mr. Speaker, are occurring even as we speak.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006061

Mandatory deployment of the MCS patrol boats, physical vessel inspections, sea patrols, onboard observers, logbook audits, port controls, licensing, intelligence gathering, at marami pa pong iba.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006062

Maraming salamat, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006063

How many unregistered commercial fishing vessels have you identified in the entire country po?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006064

They recorded almost 2,500 registered vessels.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006065

And how many have...

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006066

Yung mga unregistered?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006067

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006068

How many have been apprehended by BFAR and what's the status of the cases filed against them po?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006069

Ito po, i-share ko na lang po, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006070

2025, 158, 2026, 76.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006071

And magkano?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006072

Magkano naman po ang nagastos ng BFAR para sa VMS at ERS bago ma-declare unconstitutional ang FAO 266?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006073

Mr. Speaker, total 3.440 billion from 2018 to 2026.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006074

At may natitira pa po ba kayang funds ang BFAR para sa mga ito sa ilalim ng inyong 2026 budget?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006075

At meron pa po bang allocation?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006076

Ang mga ito sa 2027 proposed budget ng BFAR.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006077

As of June 30, 2026, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, the remaining fund for the vessel monitoring system is 40 million.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006078

And for 2027, meron po tayong budget of 500 million for its operationalization and sustainability, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006079

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006080

On the DA budget and budget for production support services sub-program naman po tayo.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006081

Sa fiscal year of 2027 NEP, isa ang DA sa mga department na may malaking budget cuts.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006082

From 186 billion sa 2026 GAA, bumaba ito ng 15 billion at naging 171 billion sa 2027 NEP.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006083

Taon-taon sinasabi ng DBM na ang mga budget cuts na ito ay dahil sa poor absorptive capacity ng mga departments katulad ng DA.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006084

Ang tanong ko po, one of the sub-programs ng DA na may malaking budget cut ang production supportive services sub-program.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006085

From 35.6 billion sa 2026 GAA, bumaba ito ng 29.8 billion sa 2027 NEP.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006086

May 5.8 billion po ang naging cut.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006087

Sa aming pagtingin sa NEP, nakikita po natin na ang production supportive services at nakalaan para sa iba.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006088

Ang ibang uri ng crop production kasama na ang high value crops.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006089

Magkano po ang original proposal nito sa DBM para dito?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006090

Totally po, our 2027 proposal was 42B.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006091

Unfortunately, ang nalagay lang po sa 2027 NEP is 29.7B.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006092

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006093

Ano po ang konkretong implikasyon nito?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006094

Sa production capacity ng ating mga magsasaka at sa kanilang kita.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006095

Mr. Speaker, dahil nabawasan po ang area coverage para sa hybrid seeds,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006096

halos nababalansi ito ng mga malawak sa inbred seed support sa ilalim ng RCEP.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006097

Kasabay nito, itinaas natin ang seedling rate support para sa hybrid rice.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006098

Gayunman, dahil walang pagpapataas,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006099

sa kabuwang National Rice Program Budget Sealing,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006100

yung ating nadagdag na seed support ay dapat tumbasan din po ng fertilizer allocation.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006101

So that is why we are requesting po for a larger fertilizer allocation which I read po earlier on.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006102

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006103

Ano rin po ang nakikita ninyong posibleng impact nito sa presyo ng pagkain,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006104

lalo na at nananatiling na sa 5.2% ang food inflation,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006105

for July 2026, base sa datos ng PSA.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006106

Mr. Speaker, well as we know po, rice plays a big role po sa ating inflation.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006107

And lalo na po, it's part of the talagang staple na binibili po ng mga Pilipino.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006108

So hopefully, hindi po tataas yung inflation due to the decreased budgetary support.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006109

That's why we are urging po, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006110

and our colleagues present here, to support the Department of Agriculture's budget.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006111

And kung pwede lang po, dagdagan pa.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006112

Maraming salamat, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006113

Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, in closing,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006114

kung ang agrikultura ang pundasyon ng ating ekonomiya,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006115

ang Pilipinas ay mananatiling gutom at mahirap kung babawasan natin ang suporta

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006116

sa ating mga magsasaka, mangingisda, at food producers.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006117

Ang bawat pisong nawawala.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006118

Sa pondo ng agrikultura ay direktang papatay sa kabuhayan ng ating mga local producer

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006119

at mas magmamahal ang presyo ng pagkain ng bawat pamilyang Pilipino.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006120

Insya Allah, buong suporta sana ng Kongreso ang ating mga magsasaka, mangingisda, at suppliers.

asr-006189

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006190

So, supposedly,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006191

ang sinasabi ngayon, may

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006192

matinding

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006226

And how much has the increase

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006227

been? Magkano yung nilaki?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006228

So,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006229

right now po,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006230

naglalaro po, Mr. Speaker,

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006231

ang presyo po ng ating fertilizers

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006232

from 2.3 to 2.6,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006233

it went up, and

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006234

we received po, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006235

a 2.2 billion budget

asr-006237

fertilizers

asr-006239

biofruits na pandagdag po, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006240

And again, as I read earlier,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006241

it's part of the 11-point

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006242

agenda po, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006243

Distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006244

Now,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006245

yung budget for that

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006246

fertilizer, that's for

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006247

yung chemical-based,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006248

yung mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006249

inorganic fertilizer.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006250

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006251

Tama po, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006252

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006253

Pero, meron ding

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006254

patakaran ang DA

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006255

kaugnay sa biofertilizers,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006256

use of biofertilizers.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006257

Ano po ang status?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006258

Nito ngayon, yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006259

paggamit ng biofertilizers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006260

Yung nabanggit po namin,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006261

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006262

distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006263

this 2.2 billion

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006264

budget is for

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006265

organic fertilizers.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006266

Magkano po yung budget?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006267

2.2

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006268

Mr. Speaker, 2.2 billion

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006269

additional.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006270

Additional, but this is for

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006271

this year.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006272

For this year, 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006273

And this is for the purchase

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006274

of biofertilizers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006275

Biofer and foliar.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006276

And ano po?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006277

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006278

pardon my

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006279

wrong pronunciation.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006280

Ano po ba?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006281

Foliar.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006282

Foliar.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006283

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006284

for everybody's knowledge po,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006285

distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006286

it is a soil condition.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006287

Ah, okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006288

So, 2.3 billion

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006289

additional for 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006290

Saan po nanggaling yung additional

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006291

funding na ito?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006292

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006293

the fund source po is

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006294

again from the DBM

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006295

and it is called Uplift.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006296

Uplift.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006297

So, presumably, ito yung mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006298

na palitaw

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006299

ng Malacanang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006300

slash DBM

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006301

from

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006310

Essentially, forced savings.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006311

Parang ganun po yun

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006312

if I'm not mistaken.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006313

So, parang augmentation ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006314

Okay.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006315

Mr. Speaker, yes, correct.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006316

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006317

So, 2.3 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006318

Mr. Speaker, 2.2.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006319

2.2 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006320

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006321

And how about for 2026?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006322

Meron po bang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006323

proposed,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006324

sorry, 2027.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006325

Meron po bang proposed budget

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006326

again for biofertilizers

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006327

specifically?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006328

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006329

na naka-propose.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006330

Mr. Speaker, let us check,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006331

but definitely yung biofertilizers

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006332

and organic fertilizers

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006333

are part of the DA's policy and mandate.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006334

So, Mr. Speaker, kukunin lang po namin yung exact figures.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006335

Okay. Intayin po natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006336

Sana po, hanapin na ngayon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006337

Okay.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006338

Just to additionally, for more information,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006339

nauhulog po ang biofertilizers, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006340

distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006341

under the RCEF Fertilizer Support.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006342

So, we'll get po the exact numbers in a few minutes

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006343

and we are going to share it with you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006344

But again, rest assured that biofertilizer is funded

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006345

and plays a big role po sa ating mga plano for 2027 po sa DA.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006346

Okay.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006347

So, we are back with the exact numbers po

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006348

and for 2027, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006349

we are happy to share with you

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006350

that under the RCEF Fund,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006351

distinguished colleagues who are present here today,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006352

we are, for the RCEF Funds,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006353

we have 1.8 billion for 2027 for biofertilizers, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006354

For 2027, it's 1.8.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006355

1.8 billion po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006356

1.8 billion for biofertilizers.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006357

So, yung 2026, 2.2.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006358

Ano po ang status ng utilization ng 2026 na 2.2 billion?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006359

Again, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006360

the funding just was released

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006361

because, as I mentioned, this is an additional funding.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006362

Yes.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006363

It's not part of the 2.2 billion.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006364

It's part of the 2026 GAE.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006365

So, the reason po na...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006366

Additionally,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006367

magkano po yung originally appropriated for biofertilizers?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006368

Wala.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006369

So, the answer po is there was no budget po for 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006370

There was no budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006371

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006372

Hindi ko na palalalimin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006373

Presumably, merong bahay yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006374

Kaya nalagyan, na-augment, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006375

So, wala.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006376

Pero nagkaroon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006377

Let us just assume may bahay para walang numalya, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006378

Pero, yun na nga ngayon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006379

What is the status of utilization of the 2.2 billion fund?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006380

May na-issue na bang SARO?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006381

Na-obligate na ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006382

Nagkaroon na ng bidding?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006383

Na-award na ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006384

And so on and so forth.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006385

Mr. SARO, thank you.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006386

Our SARO, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006387

was only issued a few weeks ago.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006388

And it is scheduled, Mr. Speaker, for bidding.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006389

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006390

Scheduled for bidding.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006391

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006392

Now,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006393

paano po ang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006394

ano po ang criteria na ginagamit ng DA

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006395

in terms of,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006396

as far as the procurement of biofertilizers is concerned?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006397

Sabihin, marami pong mga biofertilizer products,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006398

but how does the,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006399

ah,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006400

DA ensure quality standards?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006401

Di ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006402

Para matiyak na talagang subok may track record

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006403

at epektibo ang mga produkto.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006404

So, what standards are applicable

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006405

for the biofertilizer products?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006406

Mr. Speaker, there are two main standards po, no?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006407

Number one, pumasa po sa FDA.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006408

As we know, the fertilizers are now with FDA.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006409

And number two, pumasok po sa field rice derby.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006410

So, thank you, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006411

and those are the two standards.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006412

Again po, the first one is?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006413

Through FDA po, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006414

And the second one is through PhilRice.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006415

Okay.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006416

The derby.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006417

FPA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006418

So, yung FPA,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006419

meron pong list of active registered fertilizers, correct?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006420

Tama po ba yun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006421

And currently,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006422

when we check,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006423

there are 61 biofertilizer products.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006424

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006425

Ano po yung tanong nila po?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006426

Mr. Speaker, would you mind?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006427

Just confirmation of the information that we gathered

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006428

na merong listahan ng registered fertilizers,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006429

yung Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority or FPA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006430

Is that correct?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006431

Tama po, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006432

Okay. So, pwedeng dun mang galing sa list of registered biofertilizers?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006433

That's one.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006434

Mr. Speaker, may I share this must be registered by the FPA,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006435

tested in the field and may score sheet.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006436

They need to have a score sheet.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006437

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006438

And then, you also mentioned field rice.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006439

So, yung field rice, meron din pong,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006440

they have their own benchmarking.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006441

Is that correct? Field rice benchmarking.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006442

Yes, Mr. Speaker. Tama po yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006443

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006444

So, could you give us,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006445

some more information on this benchmarking?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006446

Paano po yung proseso na yan?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006447

Mr. Speaker, to clarify, benchmarking po ba ng fertilizers ang inyong tinatanong?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006448

Yes. Oo po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006449

Pwede po bang, could you further, for purposes of our discussion,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006450

mailinaw, anong ginagawa ng field rice in order to benchmark biofertilizer products?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006451

Para matiyak na hindi lang, you know, mga fly-by-night suppliers

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006452

with untested products ang ma-awardan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006453

We're talking about 2.2 billion pesos worth of contracts for 2026 alone.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006454

So, malaking, napakalaking halaga po nito.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006455

Definitely, Mr. Speaker, that is a big responsibility.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006456

So, tinetest po head-to-head ng field rice ito with the standards.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006457

And, aside from that, nag-spot inspection din po sila ng mga fertilizers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006458

Kasi, of course, you cannot rely lang po dun sa sinamit sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006459

You also have to test on the field, which is what the field rice is doing, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006460

So, does the, ang sinasabi po ba ng,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006461

ng Department of Agriculture ay nananatili itong requirement for field rice benchmarking?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006462

for biofertilizer products?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006463

Yes, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006464

nananatili po ito. Okay. Kasi po

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006465

talagang kailangan natin ito. Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006466

At ang sinabi niyo po kanina,

ay wala pa pong

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006469

nagagawang procurement.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006470

Kakarelease pa lang

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006472

Tama po yun, Mr. Speaker.

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006474

Tama po yun, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006475

How about for 2025?

2025 naman.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006477

Meron na po ba?

list of

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006489

suppliers and

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006490

whether or not

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

their products fall under

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006498

Okay po ba? We are happy

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006499

to share that with you, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006500

distinguished colleagues, para makita nyo

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006501

po yung sa FPA at saka po

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006502

yung sa PhilRice benchmarking po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006503

Dahil malaking halaga po ang pinag-uusapan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006504

natin dahil gusto nating matiyak

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006505

na alam naman natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006506

there was a history of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006507

yung tinatawag na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006508

fertilizer funds scam.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006509

We're talking about the fertilizer funds here.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006510

So yun lang po, ang concern natin.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006511

Mr. Speaker, just to humahabol po kami,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006512

the amount is

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006513

1.8B for 2025.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006514

1.8B for 2025.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006515

So bigyan na lang po tayo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006516

ng kumpletong report on

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006517

the utilization, including

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006518

kung may na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006519

may mga kontrata na dyan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006520

bigyan po tayo ng detalye.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006521

Okay po? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006522

We are happy to share that with you.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006523

Now, I hope the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006524

prepared presentation is already

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006525

on hand.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006526

Pwede na po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006527

Actually, ang mga tanong po natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006528

ay nakafocus sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006529

farm-to-market roads.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006530

Pwede na po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006531

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006532

So this is the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006533

farm-to-market roads budget

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006534

for 2027.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006535

16B yung proposed.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006536

I discussed this

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006537

in the budget

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006538

briefing stage, pero

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006539

gusto po natin balikan for

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006540

plenary. So

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006541

16B for farm-to-market

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006542

roads.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006543

Total of 703 projects

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006544

ang nakalista.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006545

And

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006546

nabanggit natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006547

that most of the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006548

703 projects are

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006549

30 million and below.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006550

Pero may napansin tayong ilan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006551

na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006552

500 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006553

One project worth 500 million,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006554

another project worth 250

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006555

and so on. May mga paisa-isa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006556

in certain regions.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006557

Sabi ko nga, the term I used was

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006558

parang bumubukol.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006559

For example, in the case of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006560

Cordillera Administrative Region,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006561

para sa region na yon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006562

may total na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006563

1.54 billion,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006564

1.03 billion

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006565

of which are 8 projects

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006566

are in Benguet

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006567

province alone.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006568

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006569

kapansin-pansin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006570

So for example,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006571

next slide.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006572

Ayan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006573

Merong 500 million

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006574

peso budget for farm-to-market

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006575

roads for

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006576

Benguet. Single project.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006577

Tapos yung isa naman,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006578

250 million, then

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006579

dalawang tatlo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006580

na over 100

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006581

million and above.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006582

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006583

ano po ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006584

paliwanag?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006585

How come?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006586

Mamaya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006587

nagpunta pa tayo in other regions, hindi lang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006588

kasi sa CAR eh, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006589

Standing pa rin po ba

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006590

ang request

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006591

or proposal for funding for

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006592

these projects?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006593

Thank you,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006594

distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006595

for the presentation.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006596

And Mr. Speaker, just to clarify po,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006597

ano,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006598

we do not divide.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006599

We also allocate

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006600

farm-to-market roads according

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006601

to specific roadmaps or projects.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006602

Basically,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006603

this is a flagship project

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006604

designed to boost,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006605

dramatically boost,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006606

high-value crops

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006607

in the Cordillera region.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006608

So, the plan

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006609

is to front-load

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006610

the road network

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006611

immediately.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006612

So that, once we come in

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006613

with the production support, we will

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006614

already have,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006615

a road network.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006616

So, that is the reason why,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006617

parang malaki.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006618

But if you think about it, we are trying to develop

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006619

a specific area

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006620

so that when we come in with production

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006621

support,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006622

the area is already ready

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006623

to receive support.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006624

And with a logistic

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006625

network, there is a logistic

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006626

and transport network involved.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006627

So, if we would only give small amounts

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006628

of money po,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006629

we will only be building like

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006630

5 kilometers.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006631

Which, once we put in the production support,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006632

makikita po natin na kulang na kulang po talaga

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006633

yung ating road network.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006634

So, we need to develop the road network

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006635

para po, holistic po yung ating development po

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006636

ng high-value crops sa Cordillera.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006637

So, that is the reason bakit,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006638

parang, akala nyo po, parang it looks big,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006639

but the area to be developed will be complete

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006640

in one go.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006641

And once we come in with production support,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006642

ready na po talaga tayo para mag-boost

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006643

ng production.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006645

Well, of course, we understand yung kahalagahan ng farm-to-market roads

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006646

and we also understand yung sinabi nyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006647

bengget ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006648

So, obviously, vegetable farming in particular, diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006649

Ang concern natin is yung implementability

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006650

of a single big ticket project,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006651

500 million, in one fiscal year.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006652

So, how realistic is it?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006653

Actually, during the budget briefing,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006654

tinanong ko 'to at

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006655

nag-provide ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006658

DA Region CAR,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006659

ng mga detalya sa mga projects.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006660

And in fact,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006661

for that particular 500 million peso project,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006662

actually may mga,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006663

dun sa pinakitang information,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006664

parang may mga unfulfilled requirements.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006665

Ang napakita ron,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006666

that 500 million peso project

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006667

is for farm-to-market roads

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006668

na 33 kilometers.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006669

Pero, ayon mismo sa dokumento ng DA,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006670

only around 9 kilometers of the 33

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006671

is validated.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006672

So, ibig sabihin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006673

hindi ba ang requirement,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006674

dapat validated na yung buong project.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006675

Pero in this case,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006676

only 9 kilometers of the proposed 33 for funding

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006677

was validated at the time of the budget briefing.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006678

Meron bang update doon?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006679

All, all, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006680

this is a completely validated project po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006681

Completely validated.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006682

I beg to differ.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006683

Yun po ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006684

batay sa dokumentong binigay sa atin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006685

ng DA CAR,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006686

Cordillera Administrative Region.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006687

Yung dokumento mismo nagsabi,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006688

only 9,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006689

8-point-something of 33 ang validated.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006690

Sa DA po nanggaling yung information na yan.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006691

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006692

it is not difficult to validate a road,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006693

especially po,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006694

if it is ready naman po

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006695

to be developed.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006696

So, i-share ko lang, no,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006697

while we're waiting for further documentation.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006698

One of the major areas po,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006699

you asked, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006700

is can somebody,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006701

can the DA or the implementer,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006702

or the implementing agency,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006703

implement 500 million in one calendar year?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006704

Well, the major issue po talaga,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006705

for any road, is right of way.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006706

So, kung clear po yung road right of way,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006707

napaka-bilis po niyan.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006708

These are also called tenorial issues.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006709

Kung sigurado po tayo na

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006710

gobyerno po may-ari niyan,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006711

madali lang pong mag-implement talaga.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006712

And most of the delays come from

Source

asr-006714

and number two, tenorial issues.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006715

So,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006716

while we're waiting for the,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006717

what percent is actually validated, ano po.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006718

Okay.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006719

We'll get back.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006720

So, I would like to share that, no,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006721

if the road is shovel ready,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006722

it is, indeed,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006723

no one is claiming it for

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006724

road right of way.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006725

It is, and again,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006726

madali lang po siyang magawa.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006727

Basta po walang right of way

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006728

and tenorial issues.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006729

Okay.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006730

So, I will get the details po

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006731

para may-share po namin sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006732

Okay, thank you.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006733

We will get back to that, yung validation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006734

Kasi nga, of course, the concern here is,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006735

hindi naman sa gusto nating i-deny ang Cordillera

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006736

ng major farm to market road project.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006737

We just want to make sure

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006738

that the funds will actually be utilized.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006739

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006740

Ang pinag-uusapan dito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006741

fiscal space,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006742

paano naman yung iba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006743

Ayaw natin, matali yung pondo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006744

pero hindi naman pala kayang ma-implement

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006745

or partially ma-implement lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006746

I'll get back to this point later.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006747

Next slide lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006748

For 20,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006749

so, for 2027,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006750

ang malaking mga proyekto

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006751

ay nasa Benguet,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006752

pero meron din sa Mindanao.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006753

Nabanggit ito ni,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006754

Secretary,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006755

during the budget briefing.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006756

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006757

I believe it's in,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006758

is it Caraga?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006759

Na merong binubuksan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006760

na farm to market road.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006761

For 2027,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006762

yung pinakamalaking area

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006763

na merong farm to market road,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006764

2.5 billion,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006765

Sultan Kudarat.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006766

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006767

This is for 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006768

So, ayan po, nakikita natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006769

projects ranging from

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006770

105 billion per project

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006771

to 240 million, sorry,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006772

million per project

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006773

ng mga farm to market roads.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006774

Okay?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006775

Now,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006776

let me get to the implementability issue.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006777

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006778

Meron pong portal.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006779

Next slide po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006780

May transparency portal, ang DA,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006781

called FMR Watch.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006782

And so,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006783

the,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006784

my subsequent comments and observations

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006785

will be based on the data here.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006786

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006787

So, 2021 to 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006788

Tapos, total of 6,428 projects,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006789

total investment of 109.5 billion,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006790

yung po ang appropriated funds.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006791

Well, nakikita nyo na rito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006792

Of 6,428 projects,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006793

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006794

3,235 ang completed.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006795

Okay?

Ah...

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006798

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006799

Magdi-detalye tayo dyan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006800

Pero yung completion rate po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006801

ang concern natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006802

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006803

Ah...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006804

Next slide.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006805

Siguro doon na tayo sa summary data.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006806

Ayan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006807

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006808

So, ito po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006809

Based on that webinar,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006810

based on that website,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006811

that transparency portal,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006812

ito yung data.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006813

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006814

Broken down per year.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006815

Meron pang 2020,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006816

2021 up to

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006821

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006822

of course.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006823

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006824

Ah...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006825

Ang lumalabas po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006826

essentially,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006827

ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006828

you have a completion rate

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006829

of 44%

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006830

for projects

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006831

dating back to 2021.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006832

Ah...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006833

At,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Well,

from 2021,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006843

as early as 2021,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006844

hanggang 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006845

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006846

2021,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006847

meron pang...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006848

2021 yun, ah.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006850

hindi pa nasisimulan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

2025,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006861

279.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006862

And then,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006863

yung 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006864

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006865

The majority of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006866

all the projects,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006867

sabi sa inyong website,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006868

all of the projects

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006869

for 2026,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006870

have not yet started.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006871

Does the DA,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006872

ah...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006873

confirm

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006874

this data?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006875

Called from

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006876

their own

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006877

transparency website?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006878

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006879

Galing po sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006880

transparency website nyo?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006881

Ah...

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006891

Mr.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006892

Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006893

the DA

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006894

will be checking

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006895

their

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006896

portal,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006897

but

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006898

they would like to ask

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006899

to focus on

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006900

2025,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006901

and

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006902

um,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006903

what happened

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006904

po sa

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006905

2025

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006906

was

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006907

ah...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006908

Okay,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006909

2025 siguro.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006910

2025 na lang po.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006911

Opo.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006912

There was 23B

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006913

allocated,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006914

of which

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006915

13 billion was released,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006916

and 75% was implemented as of August.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006917

And there was 10.7 billion na na-FLR po.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006918

And this was released last Friday.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006919

So, focusing on 2025, talaga pong mababa po yan kasi halos 40% po ay na-FLR.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006920

So, yung 2025 budget, 2025, gaano kalaki po yung na-FLR?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006921

10.7 billion.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006922

10.7 billion of a total?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006923

Of 23B. Approximately something like 40%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006924

Okay. 40%. 10 billion of 23 billion FLR 2025.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006925

Ngayon pa lang, sabi nyo, ngayon pa lang i-release.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006926

It's already late 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006927

I-release pa lang yung pondo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006928

So, presumably, magkakaroon pa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006929

So, magkakaroon ng bidding, so on, hindi pa masisimulan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006930

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006931

Okay. So, yun talaga ang point natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006932

No, na, well, the problem seems to be very much delayed implementation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006933

Kaya nga, according to your own portal, to the DA's own portal,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006934

even projects as dating back to 2021, 216 pa ang ongoing.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006935

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006936

Hindi lang.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006937

Thank you for pointing this out, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006938

And upon further clarification po, the data po from the portal, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006939

distinguished colleagues, is coming from the Department of Public Works and Highways.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006940

Okay.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006941

So, we cannot speak for their data.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006942

And we are actually trying to validate it with the data of the Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006943

Okay.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006944

But, just to let you know, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006945

sa ibang department,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006946

sa ibang department po, galing yun.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006947

Oo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006948

Dahil sila po ang nag-i-implement.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006949

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006950

Because they are the implementing agency.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006951

Yes, Mr. Speaker, they are the implementing agency.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006952

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006953

Well, but based on the data that is available,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006954

which is on the transparency portal,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006955

yan po ang kalagayan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006956

So, I mean, kahit sa sariling banggit nyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006957

dahil sa halos kalahati ng budget,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006958

naka-FLR.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006959

So, talagang delayed.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006960

No?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006961

Ah, Mr. Speaker, we will look into the watch portal, definitely po.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006962

And yung binigay po namin,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006963

actually, 46% of the budget,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006964

na-FLR po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006965

For 2026,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006966

1,699 projects have appropriations worth 34.2 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006967

Ilang porsyento po dito ang naka-FLR,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006968

o FISARO, yun yung term, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006969

FLR, for later release.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006973

Ilang porsyento ng 2026 budget ang naka-FLR.

asr-006976

We'd like to request the good gentleman to wind up, please.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006977

Thank you.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006978

Sige, go ahead, po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006979

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006980

Okay, thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006981

And just to let you know,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006982

that the 2026 budget will be released in...

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006983

So, last August,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006984

4.7 billion SARO was released by the DBM.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006985

And...

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006986

September...

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006987

Sorry.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006988

And last Saturday, September 3, 18 billion,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006989

there was a omnibus SARO requested in June,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006990

and 18B was...

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006991

The 18B, we are awaiting release.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006992

Of this.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006993

So, as to whether there will be an FLR or not,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006994

that we do not know.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006995

And again,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006996

but our Secretary was assured

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-006997

that there will be no FLRs this year, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006998

There will be.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006999

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007000

To wrap up, kasi alam kong tapos na po yung oras,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007001

to wrap up the point here,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007002

ano po yung main reason

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007003

kung bakit napakalaking bahagi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007004

ng farm-to-market road budget

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007005

na isang...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007006

FLR,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007007

40%

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007008

in 2025,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007009

2026,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007010

wala pang narirelease?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007011

Ano po ang main reason

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007012

kung bakit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007013

napakatagal

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007014

ng implementation?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007015

It should be shovel-ready.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007016

Dapat pag na-approve na,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007017

bidding na kagad,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007018

pero hindi po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007019

It's FLR.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007020

What's the main reason?

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-007021

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-007022

We share your concern, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-007023

However,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-007024

hindi po kami

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-007025

at least

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-007026

at least hindi po yung department namin,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-007027

which is the Department of Agriculture,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-007028

is responsible for the FLR.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-007029

And I think that we need to inquire po

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-007030

from the responsible department.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007031

Well, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007032

thank you.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007033

To conclude,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007034

actually,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007035

alam na natin yung dahilan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007036

The DBM will say

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007037

it is because

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007038

these specific farm-to-market road projects

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007039

are congressional amendments or insertions.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007040

Yun ang sasabihin nila.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007041

And therefore,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007042

bago ma-release yung proyekto,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007043

kailangan mag-submit ng kompletong dokumento

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007044

and it has to go a whole process of validation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007045

And it takes the better part of the fiscal year.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007046

Therefore, we have this situation

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007047

where towards the end of the fiscal year,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007048

saka pa lang marirelease yung SARO.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007049

So, ang gusto ko lang i-point out, Mr. Speaker, dito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007050

ay pinapakita,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007051

hindi lang po nangyayari sa DA budget ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007052

So, this happens in the,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007053

this happens in the DPWH budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007054

All programs with capital outlay for the most part,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007055

malaking bahagi nun ay FISARO or FLR for later release.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007056

Because, in other words,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007057

ang tinuturo na po rito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007058

yung problema sa system of budgeting,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007059

sa paraan ng pagbabudget natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007060

particularly the system of congressional insertion or amendment,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007061

we see how, because of this,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007062

ay nade-delay po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007063

Minimum two years na po bago makompleto ang proyekto.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007064

And even more,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007065

para makompleto ang proyekto,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007066

because of this archaic system

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007067

which we call pork barrel system.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007068

Yung congressional insertions.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007069

Ang epekto po nito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007070

delayed ang delivery

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007071

nung kinakailangang infrastructure sa mamamayan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007072

Kaya, again, tinututulang po natin ito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007073

hindi lang issue ng corruption.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007074

May issue ng corruption,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007075

iwalay na usapin yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007076

Ipapang-usapin dito yung actual delay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007077

in the delivery of services

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007078

and the tying up of funds

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007079

that perhaps could be better

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007080

or more urgently used elsewhere.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007081

In the delivery of services.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007082

So, hanggang doon na lang po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007083

Mr. Speaker, maraming salamat.

I greet you a pleasant day.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007279

I have the honor

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007286

billion for fiscal

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007287

year 2027,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007288

is a forward-looking investment

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007289

in the government's capacity

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007290

to protect the Filipino people.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007291

When a child walks into school,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007292

the first duty of government is to make sure

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007293

that the child comes home safely.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007294

When a mother closes the door of her home at night,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007295

she must have confidence that the streets outside

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007296

are governed by law and order.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007297

And when a community faces a criminal threat,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007298

a disaster, or an act of violence,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007299

our people should not have to wonder

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007300

whether their government has the people,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007301

equipment, coordination, and resources to protect them.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007302

Mr. Speaker, security begins

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007303

where government becomes personal.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007304

It begins in the barangay where disputes first emerge,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007305

emergencies are first reported,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007306

and the first response to a crisis

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007307

can determine whether it remains contained.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007308

The municipality and city coordinate services

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007309

that no individual barangay can provide alone.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007310

While the province brings together municipalities and cities

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007311

and strengthens the broader peace and order architecture,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007312

at every level, there must be capability.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007313

At every level, there must be accountability.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007314

And at every level, there must be

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007315

a government

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007316

capable of responding

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007317

when Filipino lives are at risk.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007318

This is why funding the DILG is fundamentally about

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007319

funding the capacity of government to protect our people.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007320

Mr. Speaker, the DILG and its attached agencies

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007321

have demonstrated that this responsibility

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007322

is being taken seriously.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007323

The department has posted a 96.33%

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007324

efficiency rate in emergency response

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007330

with response time of 5 to 7 minutes.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007331

We now have 50,441 evacuation centers nationwide

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007332

supported by more than 126,000 uniformed personnel

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007333

deployed for disaster response.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007334

to address emerging security concerns

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007335

including nihilistic violent extremism,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007337

NVE, the DILG

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007338

has strengthened school security

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007339

protocols and safer

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007340

school zones,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007341

deepened coordination with the Department

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007342

of Education, and enhanced

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007343

police-community partnership

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007344

including barangay peace

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007345

and safety mechanisms.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007346

I therefore urge this

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007347

August Chamber to support

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007348

the additional budgetary request

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007349

of the DILG for the procurement

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007350

of 1,095

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

further strengthen peace and order

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007357

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007358

which includes strengthening

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007359

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007360

Pamayapa.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007361

Mr. Speaker, capability

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007362

must be matched by

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007363

accountability. Last

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007364

year, the NAPOLCOM

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007365

asked for support in view

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007366

of their backlog spanning

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007367

decades' worth of

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007368

administrative cases.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007369

I am proud to announce

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007370

that the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007371

NAPOLCOM has successfully

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007372

implemented its

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007373

Zero Case Backlog

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007374

Initiative, resolving

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007375

2,404

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007376

administrative cases

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007377

involving

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007378

4,084 PNP

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007379

personnel, which accumulated

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007380

over the past

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007381

25 years.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007382

This, ladies and gentlemen,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007383

is what it looks like

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007384

when legislative support

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007385

meets administrative

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007386

excellence. I likewise

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007387

ask this August Chamber

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007388

to support NAPOLCOM's

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007389

additional budgetary requirements

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007390

to strengthen

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007391

its independence and

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007392

oversight over our police personnel,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007393

modernize and

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007394

secure its sensitive records,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007395

and provide a special,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007396

budget provision, allowing it

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007397

as authorized by law

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007398

to utilize its

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007399

self-generated income

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007400

for the repair and maintenance

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007401

of dilapidated equipments

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007402

and facilities for

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007403

much-needed personnel

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007404

benefits.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007405

Mr. Speaker, the same principle

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007406

applies to our

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007407

fire protection and

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007408

emergency response capabilities.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007409

The Bureau of Fire Protection

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007410

has introduced reforms,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007411

including fire safety

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007412

inspections, including

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007413

online and merit-based recruitment,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007414

and the mandatory use of

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007415

body-worn cameras during

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007416

inspections. It has also

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007417

reported a 27.23%

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007418

decline

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007419

in fire incidents

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007420

compared with the previous year

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007421

and successfully operated

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007422

unified 911

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007423

system. As of

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007424

today, I am proud to

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007425

announce that 92%

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007426

of our municipalities

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007427

now have activated

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007428

fire stations and trucks.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007429

I therefore urge

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007430

Congress to support

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007431

BFP's request to recruit

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007432

2,000 additional

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007433

fire officers to meet its

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007434

expanded responsibilities

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007435

in fire suppression,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007436

rescue operation,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007437

emergency medical

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007438

services, hazardous

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007439

material incidents, and

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007440

other public safety

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007441

emergencies. The BFP is

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007442

now the primary responder

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007443

for humanitarian assistance

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007444

and disaster response,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007445

including large-scale

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007446

disaster incidents across

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007447

the country. I must emphasize

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007448

that this is a pressing

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007449

and immediate need of the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007450

Bureau. At present,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007451

the BFP has only

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007452

56% of

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007453

its ideal manning

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007454

requirement,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007455

giving a significant

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007456

manpower gap that directly

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007457

affects its capacity

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007458

to respond to emergency

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007459

and disasters.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007460

I further seek support for

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007461

special budgetary provision,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007462

allowing the BFP

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007463

to utilize at least

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007464

80% of its

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007465

first code fees

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007466

collections, amounting to

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007467

4.5 billion a year,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007468

which are already available

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007469

for use to address

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007470

its

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007471

capability gaps,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007472

including the procurement

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007473

of at least 74

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007474

collapsed structured search

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007475

and rescue trucks,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007476

82 ambulances for

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007477

deployment across the country.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007478

This will strengthen

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007479

the Bureau's capacity

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007480

to prepare for

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007481

and respond to the increasing

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007482

frequency and scale of public

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007483

safety emergencies,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007484

large-scale disaster incidents,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007485

particularly those to that

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007486

may be intensified

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007487

by the effects

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007488

of climate change.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007489

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007490

we must likewise

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007491

continue strengthening

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007492

the Philippine National Police.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007493

The PNP

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007494

has reported

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007495

declines in several

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007496

crime indicators,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007497

focused crimes by 12.4%,

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007498

indexed and non-indexed

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007499

crime by 2.37%,

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007500

and cybercrime cases

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007501

by 30%.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007502

Crime clearance

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007503

efficiency improved

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007504

to 98%,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007505

while solution efficiency

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007506

reached 90%.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007507

Over the past year,

asr-007508

the PNP also conducted

to establish the regional headquarters of the Police Regional Office in the Negros Island Region, and complete the facility of the Police Regional Office in Region 1,

to strengthen tourist police units in major tourist destinations,

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

and to establish 23 police stations and buildings across various regions.

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007575

I likewise seek your support for the establishment of the PNP Counterterrorism Center, which will provide integrated capabilities in information and communications technology, cybersecurity, operational readiness, and other technical requirements for addressing evolving security threats.

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

I must emphasize that our country continues to face an increasingly complex and evolving security environment. Among these emerging concerns is the nihilistic violence extremism, which may exploit vulnerable communities and use both physical and digital spaces to spread violent ideologies.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007577

We must therefore ensure that our police personnel are adequately equipped, trained, and capacitated to confront these emerging challenges effectively.

Mr. Speaker, public safety does not end with the police and the fire service.

The Bureau of Jail and Management and Penology has substantially reduced jail congestions and intensified greyhound operations.

Resulting in the confiscation of illicit cash, illegal drugs, electronic devices and gadgets, and deadly weapons.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007581

But Mr. Speaker, Madam Speaker, the work of the DILG goes beyond law, enforcement, and public safety.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007582

It also means strengthening the local government that serves our government's most immediate presence in the lives of our people.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007583

The Department continues to assist and monitor

Mr. Speaker, we should remember the words of Nelson Mandela.

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007597

Every community in our country has a fundamental right to be free from fear.

Our...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007601

Our municipalities and cities, that means to coordinate our provinces, that means to integrate their security efforts in our national institution, the resources necessary to make the entire system work together.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007602

The strength of our national security is ultimately measured not only by what government can do at the national level, but by the security experienced by ordinary people.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007604

In their homes, schools, seats, and communities.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007605

The question before us, therefore, is not simply how much we are willing to spend on the DILG,

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007606

it is how much we are willing to invest in the capacity of government to protect the Filipino people.

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

When the answer involves the safety of our children, the security of our communities,

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007749

how much of the increase

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007750

in personal services is

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007751

attributable to compensation

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007752

and benefit adjustments?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007753

And how much is associated

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007754

with the additional personnel

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007755

or positions?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007760

Mr. Speaker, can I be clear?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007761

I think I was able to answer it,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007762

but again, for the retirement,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007763

gratuity is 4.3 billion.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007764

Okay.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007765

Terminal leave, 6.4 billion.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007766

New positions, 2.9 billion.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007767

Thank you, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007768

Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007769

At the same time, capital outlays

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007770

declined by, I think,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007771

by approximately 1.97 billion.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007772

What accounts for this reduction,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007773

and how will it affect

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007774

the department plan procurement of equipment,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007775

construction upgrading,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007776

and other capital requirements?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007777

Mr. Speaker, can we be more specific

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007778

with the question?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007779

The question was...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007780

questions we are handling, BJMP, BFP, PNP.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007781

I guess, everything.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007782

Of all?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007783

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007784

Okay, so capital outlay is a non-recurring,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007785

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007786

Non-recurring.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007787

But with what you are saying,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007788

we are asking Congress to add more budget.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007789

There you go.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007790

That's why we're trying to figure it out,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007791

because it decreased from,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007792

you know, became 1.97 billion.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007793

It used to be approximately around,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007794

21 billion, something.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007795

I almost, something like a decrease of almost 60%.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007796

Anong reason bakit dumikris ang inyong, ano,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007797

the capital outlays?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007798

Mr. Speaker, can we be more specific

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007799

with the question?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007800

Is it under the DIL?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007801

There's so many attached agencies,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007802

so it's hard to...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007803

By the way, anyway, when you do a budget, you know, it's...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007804

Is the entire agency, including the attached agencies?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007805

We have created a lot already.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007806

Okay.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007807

Fire stations, police stations.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007808

Assuming fire station.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007809

Fire station.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007810

Fire station, sir.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007811

We have created a lot of fire station,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007812

but kung tinatangin niyo kulang pa,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007813

totoong pong kulang pa.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007814

That's why we are seeking our constituents,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007815

I mean, our colleagues in Congress,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007816

to help the BFP.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

The collection of BFP is 4.5 billion,

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007820

a year.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007821

But DBM only approves 1 billion per year.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007822

If we want to solve

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007823

the lacking fire trucks and the fire stations,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007824

all we are asking is just 80%

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007825

of the year's collection by 2027,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007826

tapos na po lahat yan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007827

And the good thing is,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007828

with a good secretary, John Vic Rimulla,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007829

nilinis po yung BFP.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007830

Even po ang examination is online na.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007831

Even the procurement,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007832

they are studying a government-to-government

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007833

procurement strategy with South Korea.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007834

So mawawala na po yung mga nataong natin middleman

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007835

or mga lagayan or corruption.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007836

So once nanlalinis na po ito,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007837

pagtungo na po tayo doon po sa government-to-government

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007838

transaction para po mas maging transparent.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007839

And even the government of Korea, sa account,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007840

kasi may accountability also kung doon po tayo bibili

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007841

ng mga fire truck.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007842

So we are asking our colleagues to help us with the DBM

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007843

just to release what is rightfully

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007844

for our Bureau of Fire and Protection.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007845

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007846

By the way, before I proceed to my next question,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007847

I'd like to commend our good Secretary for eradicating

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007848

the rootless corruption in Bureau of Fire.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007849

Sir.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007850

Sir, saludo po ako sa inyo na talagang, yan po, isa

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007851

kasi na biktima, mga kamag-anak

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

ko rin. Totoo po yan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007853

Again, thank you very much for your

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007854

for your

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007855

continuing

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007856

eradicating, if not totally

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007857

eradicated, yung corruption dyan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007858

So on behalf of Secretary

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007859

Rimulya, we would like to thank

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007860

Kong Presley and stop asking.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007861

Anyway,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007862

I'll move. Maybe this will be my

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007863

last three questions.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007864

So, school

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007865

shootings, firearm access

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007866

and prevention. Recent

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007867

shooting incidents in Tacloban City

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007868

in June, Zamboaga City

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007869

in August, and Banga, South

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007870

Cotabato on September 18

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007871

have raised questions

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007872

regarding firearm

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007873

access by

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007874

minors. The reporting

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007875

of potential threats and

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007876

coordination among schools,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007877

local governments,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007878

and law enforcement agencies.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007879

The South Cotabato incident

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007880

is the thirdly

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007881

deadly school shooting

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007882

reported in the

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007883

country since June.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007884

Question, in light of this recent

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007885

incident, what has

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007886

the department identified

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007887

as the principal areas

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007888

That may require strengthening in the prevention of and response to violent incidents in school.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007889

Mr. Speaker, as much as I would like to answer, but I cannot divulge any specific because this is an ongoing investigation still.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007890

But, hindi po nagpapabaya ang ating DILG and in fact, nag-coordinate na po tayo sa DepEd, nag-coordinate rin po tayo sa DICT, and mag-coordinate rin po tayo sa DSWD.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007891

So, and punot dulo nito, yung pong sinasabi natin na matagal na natin pinag-uusapan na regulation, lalo na po ng Facebook, lalo na po ng META.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007892

Na kailangan din po natin yung tulong po nila na i-take down itong mga sites na kung saan bini-brainwash ang ating pong mga kabataan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007893

So, we are talking about the security of our kids now.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007894

Pero, may ginawa na po ang DILG and PNP.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007895

Safer school zones beyond the school gate, the DILG issued Memorandum Order Circular 2026.037.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007896

To strengthen safety in roads, sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, waiting areas, transport points, and loading and unloading areas immediately surrounding schools.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007897

Clear local accountability.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007898

Puno baranggays, lead implementation at barangay level.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007899

May training din po na ginagawa ang ating pong mga kapulisan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007900

But, kailangan din po ang tulong ng DSWD.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007901

Dahil alam po natin na mga minor de edad.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007902

Ang mga tina-target na mga black sites operation na nagbi-brainwash po ng ating pong mga kabataan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007903

So, we have to be very careful.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007904

And I think this is a social problem.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007905

This is not only the problem of the DILG.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007906

It is also the problem of the parents.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007907

We have to be very much aware of what's happening now.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007908

Especially sa mga sites na wala po tayong control.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007909

That's why Congress is crying.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007910

Crafting, regulation, lalo na po sa meta.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007911

And may ginagawa na rin po ang DICT.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007912

But, hindi naman po ako nagde-defend sa DICT.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007913

But, we are well much versed with the situation.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007914

But, ang masasabi po natin, hindi po natin ito pinapabayaan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007915

Ang alam lang po natin, yung tatlo na insidente na nangyari po sa Tacloban, Sambuanga, South Cotabato.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007916

Pero, hindi nyo po naitatanong kung ilan na po ang nasalba po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007917

Nang ating kapulisan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007918

More than 40 na mga bata ang naisalba na.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007919

Because sa ating mga intelligence reports, na I cannot divulge kung saan po galing.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007920

Pero may mga tumutulong po sa atin, sa ating pong pamilya sa DILG.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007921

And the Secretary, John Vicrimulla, is on top of it.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007922

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007923

I agree with you 100%.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007924

That these social platforms, malaking bagay.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007925

In fact, during the budget of the ICT here, I was the one who made the deferment of their budget because of the metas.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007926

Meta, social platforms, especially the Facebook, nagkaroon ng problema dyan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007927

So, in light of that, Mr. Speaker, I move to my next question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007928

In the South Cotabato incident reports, indicate that warnings have been communicated to other students before the shooting.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007929

What mechanisms currently allow students, parents, and school personnel to report potential threats to the police?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007930

And how are such reports assessed and acted upon?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007931

Well, we have the 911, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007932

So, kung may mga reports po tayo na nalaman, just dial 911.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007933

Ika nga po, 5 to 7 minutes, nandun na po ang ating kapulisan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007934

But again, mas kailangan pong paigtingin ang ating pangangampanya.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007935

Hindi lang po ng ating kapulisan, lalo na po ng ating komunidad.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007936

Even our PTA, dapat imbelto po dyan, our teachers, our barangay officials, our local government officials.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007937

So, I've said, tulong-tulong po ang kailangan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007938

Hindi po kakayanin ng ating kapulisan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007939

Lalo na wala pa po tayong yung iniingi po namin na counter-terrorism building na mag-equip ng ating mga data.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007940

Para po ma-preempt natin itong mga ganitong mga pangyayari.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007941

So, we need to equip our police.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007942

We need to equip our DILG family para po matugunan ang safety, lalo na po ng ating mga kabataan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007943

And just to add, Mr. Speaker, the deferment of DICT is not only about META.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007944

I think it's also the performance of DICT.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007945

It's not only about META.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007946

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007947

How is the department coordinating with the Department of Education and local government units

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007948

to establish clear protocols for preventing, reporting, and responding to serious threats in school?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007949

Do you have a coordination with the Department of Education vis-a-vis to DILG?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007950

As I've mentioned, it's not only DEPED, even DSWD, even barangay officials, barangay TANOD,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007951

even the mayors.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007952

The police is training also the barangay TANODs, but we cannot go directly to the students since minor po sila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007953

So, that's why it's an, well, call it interagency, but we need a composite team to address this issue, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007954

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007955

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007956

The proposed local government empowerment program receives 6.494

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007957

billion.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007958

However, its 2025 disbursement rate was 69%, making implementation capacity an important consideration alongside the proposed allocation.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007959

My question is, what prevented the local government empowerment program from achieving a higher level of disbursement in 2025,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007960

and what has changed to support timely implementation in 2025?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007961

Are we, Mr. Speaker, just for clarification, are we talking about LGSF?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007962

Yes, yes, okay.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007963

Regarding LGSF, there are several issues.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007964

The DBM released additional fund of SARO, it was late, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007965

The program appropriation on November 25 to 27, 2024.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007966

And also, Mr. Speaker, nagkaroon din po tayo ng election ban,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007967

only allowed ongoing projects to continue implementation.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007968

And plus, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007969

compliances of required certificates from the national government agencies prior to the implementation.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007970

So, ito po yung nagkakos ng delay.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007971

Minsan po, late yung pagbigay ng pondo,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007972

nagkaroon ng election ban,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007973

nagkaroon tayo ng bagong officials na kailangan po natin turuan po ulit.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007974

So, these are the reasons kung ano po yung bakit nandidelay.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007975

But,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007976

nangyari ba yung project?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007977

Yes.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007978

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007979

The proposed expenditure program of the Early Childhood Care and Development Council

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007980

declines from 357 million to 124.2 million,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007981

a reduction approximately 65%.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007982

Question, what explains this reduction and what effect will it have?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007983

On support for early childhood services delivered through local governments.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007984

Yes, but we have to look at the data, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007985

As of June 2026, obligation rate was 45.56%.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007986

As of June, this percent rate also,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007987

2026 is 94.58%.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007988

Comparing to the obligation rate,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007989

noong 2025, 92.09.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007990

2025, disbursement rate, 72.7%.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007991

And under the new law,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007992

the establishment of NCDCs,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007993

tinanggal na.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-007994

Kaya wala na pong infrastructure.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007995

Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007996

Which functions and outputs will continue

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008001

And which will be reduced, transferred, or discontinued?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008002

Can you repeat, Mr. Speaker, again?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008003

Which functions and outputs will continue

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008004

with regard to this early childhood care and development council

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008005

because of declines?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008006

And which will be reduced, transferred, or discontinued?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008007

Ang trabaho po talaga ng ECCDC is ensuring the quality of care.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008008

Ang trabaho po talaga ng ECCDC is ensuring the quality of education.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008009

And coordination sa integrated ECCD program

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008010

on health nutrition with the local government units.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008011

So yun na po yung naging mandato niya.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008012

So yung katanungan niya po kung sino po ang magpapatayo,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008013

well, it is my belief na

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008014

local government, pwede po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008015

Paranggay, pwede po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008016

Congreso, pwede rin po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008017

So yung pagtulong-tulungan po natin.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008018

Pero since bago na po yung mandate

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008019

na nakasaad sa batas,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008020

mas more of nakatutok na po sa quality of education

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008021

na tinuturo sa ating mga kabataan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008022

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Disponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008023

What minimum national support is necessary

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008024

to maintain service standards,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008025

particularly in poorer and geographically

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008026

isolated communities?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008027

Mr. Speaker, can I be more clarified?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008028

It's under, same, with regard to the early childhood care

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008029

and development.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008030

We're talking about chichos, yung malalayo.

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008031

Ah, yung malalayo.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008032

Yes.

Paano nyo na ni-deliver doon?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-008034

Yeah, in the urban areas.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008035

It is part of the mandate, whatever area it is,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008036

it's a mandate of the ECCDC, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008037

kahit po malayo pa yung lugar,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008038

kahit po kailangan mawangka sila,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008039

kailangan po nilang puntahan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008040

At kung may report po sa inyo

asr-008060

Good afternoon, distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008061

Good afternoon to the DILG.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008062

I'd like to go to my first question.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008063

Mr. Speaker, through you,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008064

may I ask our distinguished colleague

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008065

to confirm with DILG

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008066

how seriously are we monitoring LGU compliance

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008067

with the expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008068

We continue to receive many complaints

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008069

from solo parents

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008070

that the benefits are provided by law,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008071

pero pagdating po sa LGU,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008072

hindi naman nila nakukuha,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008073

particularly the subsidy

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008074

and the implementation of the solo parent booklet.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008075

So ang tanong ko po,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008076

how many LGUs are actually providing

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008077

the 1,000 monthly subsidy

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008078

to qualified solo parents?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008079

And how many qualified solo parents

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008080

are actually receiving it today?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008081

Thank you for that, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008082

But to clarify lang po,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008083

hindi lang po trabaho ng DILG yan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008084

There's a joint circular na kasama po dyan,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008085

ang DSWD,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008086

regarding the solo parent.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008087

So, regards to the question,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008088

total na...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008089

Mr. Speaker, can I be clarified with the question again?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008090

Ilan pong LGUs ang actual na nag-proprovide

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008091

ng 1,000 per month subsidy?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008092

Kasi, actually,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008093

hindi rin po obligasyon ito ng DSWD.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008094

Yes, yes.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008095

Siyempre, the LGUs are under the DILG.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008096

So, even given the circular,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008097

ang nagmamonitor po dapat nung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008098

implementation ng LGU

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008099

is DILG.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008100

So, ang tanong ko po is,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008101

ilan po ang LGUs that are providing

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008102

the 1,000 per month subsidy

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008103

and how many qualified solo parents

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008104

are actually receiving it today?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008105

Yes, that is a very good question,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008106

but as of now, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008107

I would like to apologize, indulgence.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008108

Napakalawak po, but I totally agree with you.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008109

And galing rin po ako sa LGU,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008110

although may autonomy po ang LGU,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008111

but nasa mandato rin po yan

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008112

sa local government code,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008113

nalagyan po ng pondo,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008114

lalo na sa mga single parents.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008115

Yes, and this is a national law.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008116

If I may, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008117

can I give the data?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008118

I-submit na lang po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008119

I-submit na lang po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008120

In the previous hearing,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008121

we asked the DILG to study

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008122

whether actual compliance

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008123

with the Solo Parents' Welfare Act

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008124

can be incorporated into the seal.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008125

of good local governance and DILG promised that they would study it, ano po ang naging resulta nito?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008126

And can DILG commit today to actual implementation?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008127

At pwede na po bang isama sa seal of good governance ang compliance nito?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008128

Yes, actually yan na po yung ginagawa po ng DILG.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008129

Hindi lang po ang pag-aral nito, hindi kung paano na po isagawa po ito.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008130

So, duly noted ang magandang suggestion ng ating butihin na.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008131

So, is there, can DILG commit to a date or kung kailan po natin pwedeng i-implement?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008132

Kahit yung isama lang po sa seal of good governance itong implementation ng Solo Parents Welfare Act.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008133

Nasa TWG na po ito. So, hopefully within siguro, I think a month, ano po, I think in one month,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008134

makakalabas na po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008135

So, mayroon po sila ng bagong regulasyon tungkol po dito.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008136

Okay. Thank you for that, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008137

So, we have a commitment from DILG na lalabas na po ito?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008138

Yes, but Mr. Speaker, kahit ilabas po ito, ang timeline po natin is for next year.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008139

Do we have a date kung...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008140

Next year, January.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008141

Thank you for that, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008142

And may we request the DILG to regularly furnish the office of this representation,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008143

preferably quarterly.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008144

We have a status of LGU compliant, so we can follow up on non-compliant LGUs.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008145

Para matulungan din po namin kayo.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008146

Yes, duly noted, and thank you for that.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008147

My next question, Distinguished Colleague, Mr. Speaker, is on the Unified 9-1-1.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008148

So, through you, COA found that the 9-1-1 Emergency Services Program had an obligation rate of only 2.45% in 2025.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008149

Yes, please.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008150

May I ask, bakit po 2.45% lang?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008151

What specifically was not implemented?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008152

And what has changed since then?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008153

Can you repeat the question again? I'm sorry.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008154

Yung ano po, COA found that the 9-1-1 Emergency Services Program had an obligation rate of only 2.45% in 2025.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008155

So, the question is, bakit po 2.45% na ito?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008156

Bakit 2.45% lang?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008157

What specifically was not implemented?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008158

And what has changed since then?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008159

I think the problem was the vehicles, Mr. Speaker, but we have updated it already.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008160

So, sigurado po, mas matasa po yan ngayon, based on the data sa 2025.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008161

So, for 2025 po and 2026, magkano po ang na-appropriate?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008162

Yung na-release?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008163

Na-obligate and was actually disbursed for Unified 9-1-1?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008164

For 2025, it's only 1 billion.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008165

For 2026?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008166

For 2026.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008167

Appropriated, released, obligated, and actually disbursed.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008168

Yes, disbursement na yan lang.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008169

That was allocated, but the disbursement is around 1.4 billion for 2025.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008170

For both 2025 and

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008171

2026, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008172

Thank you for that, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008173

Can our Distinguished Colleague break down the spending, how much went to the technology platform,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008174

and private service providers, command centers, and telecommunications, ambulances, and other vehicles, personnel, and training?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008175

Yes, Mr. Speaker, can we submit?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008176

Since marami po ito, if you can give us time.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008177

Siguro po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008178

By today?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008179

Isasubmit po natin sa ating pong colleague.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008180

Thank you for that, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008181

Can our Distinguished Colleague also confirm that 9-11 is completely free to the public?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008182

And on the government side, what are we paying annually?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008183

Including recurring service, technology, telecommunications, or other fees to operate Unified 9-1-1?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008184

Free po yung call ng public.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008185

But, siyempre po,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008186

may gaso simpo sa government.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008187

It's because of the system.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008188

Yes, of course.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008189

But to call for the public, it's free.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008190

100% free.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008191

Can I also get a report on papano po ito nadi-disperse?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008192

Papano siya hinahati-hati?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008193

Yes, we will submit by today, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008194

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

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008195

May I ask, how many genuine emergencies resulted in an actual dispatch?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008196

And what is the average response?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008197

From receipt of a 9-1-1 call, not merely until somebody answers this phone, the telephone,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008198

but until the appropriate responder physically arrives at the scene?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008199

The average response time is 5 to 7 minutes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008200

Do we measure how many patients were successfully assisted or stabilized?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008201

How many emergencies were resolved through timely intervention?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008202

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008203

And where?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008204

Measurable how many lives were saved because of a timely 9-1-1 response?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008205

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008206

We just have to pull up the data and submit to our colleague, Congressman Robert Nazal.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008207

But definitely, alam po yan ng ating pong 9-1-1 responders.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008208

Siyempre po, hindi po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008209

So, just for example, ito po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008210

So, from September 11, 2025 to July 31, 2026, the National Call Center recorded 14,461,871 incoming calls.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008211

13,931,388 handled calls.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008212

96.33% handling efficiency.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008213

513,483 abandoned calls.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008214

And 17,469 documented prank calls.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008215

The volume is approximately 53,000 incoming calls per day.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008216

Ilan po yung actual na-save natin dun sa mga totoong may emergency?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008217

Yung handled calls is 13,000,000.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008218

13,931,388.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008219

Out of the 14,461,871 incoming calls.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008220

So, 96.33 handling efficiency po tayo.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008221

Can a measurable emergency outcome become an actual performance indicator tied to 9-1-1?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008222

Kung pwede po na maging KPI,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008223

yung Unified 9-1-1, yung measurable emergency outcome?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008224

Yes.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008225

Noted, duly noted.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008226

And maganda po yung suggestion yan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008227

Very good suggestion, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008228

And can the DILG agree to that?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008229

Na isama po natin yun, sir.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008230

Thank you, sir.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008231

Thank you, sir.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008232

I'll go to my next question.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008233

Mr. Speaker, through you,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008234

if the real measure of 9-1-1 is timely response and life-saving,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008235

then hindi po sapat na mabilis dumating ang ambulansya.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008236

Pagdating ng ambulance, may trained person ba na kayang magsimulang magligtas ng buhay?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008237

TESDA po already has a specific paramedic training program.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008238

So, my question is, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008239

can the Unified 9-1-1 budget be used to train LGU personnel as paramedics using these existing TESDA programs?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008240

Yes.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008241

Actually, we have one.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008242

We have 5,000 nurses nakasama po dyan under sa BFP.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008243

So, wala pong aandar na ambulansya, wala pong trained nurses na sumagip ng buhay ng ating mga mamayan.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008244

Meron pong nurse, I agree to that.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008245

Ang tanong is, is that nurse qualified also as a paramedic?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008246

Definitely, yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008247

So, pwede po ba natin, kasi kaya ako sinasabi, meron nang existing TESDA programs.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008248

Can we tie that up?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008249

Yes.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008250

The DILG is doing that already, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008251

So, more importantly, can the DILG establish a national policy or standard that every ambulance operating as part of an LGU emergency response

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008252

or Unified 9-1-1 system should eventually have at least one properly trained and certified paramedic on board?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008253

Actually, Mr. Speaker, I think that's a very good question.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008254

Pero lumalabas na po yan sa saklaw ng...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008255

ng DILG.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008256

DILG is there to supervise.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008257

But if we make a law regarding this, mas lalo po natin mabibigyan ngipin ang DILG and even po na sumunod, lalo na ang ating mga local government units.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008258

Kaya ako lang po binabanggit kasi, siyempre, under po kasi yung LGU emergency response dun sa mga LGU nga.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008259

And in an emergency, siyempre, every minute counts.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008260

Kung may trained paramedic sa ambulance, hindi kailangang hintayin.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008261

Makarating sa ER bago magsimula ang proper intervention.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008262

Habang nasa ambulance pa lang, pwede nang ma-assess, ma-stabilize, at mabigyan ng appropriate pre-hospital care ang pasyente.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008263

Kasi those minutes can save a life.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008264

Yes, Mr. Speaker, ang BFP natin are personally trained.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008265

And actually, hindi lang po sila sila yung trained, but they're also extending training.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008266

Lalo na po sa ating mga local.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008267

So, ang problema nito, hindi lang po ito problema ng DILG o ng BFP.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008268

Problema po ito ng local government units.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008269

So, nagtutulungan po sila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008270

Kaya nga po, kinukompleto natin mga fire trucks, kinukompleto natin ang fire station.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008271

Sana makompleto pa natin yung ambulances.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008272

Lalo na pag na-release lang, 80% lang po ang inihingi na naka-earmark po para sa BFP.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008273

Para po, mahintunin yung kaka-hingi po natin na parang nagmamakaawat tayo ng mga ambulanses.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008274

At mga fire trucks.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008275

Totoo yun. And I agree to that. And I fully support yung sinasabi mo, distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008276

What I'm asking is tulong naman po ito para sa unified 911 program.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008277

Kaya po, sinasuggest ko lang.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008278

And tinatanong ko, can DILG commit to work with DESDA and DOH on a national standard?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008279

Definitely, yes.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008280

With a reasonable transition period that every LGU 911 ambulance should have a trained paramedic on board?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008281

Yes, I totally agree.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008282

And DILG is working on it, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008283

And can the 2027 911 budget be used to begin training these paramedics?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008284

Kung po pwede lang po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008285

If not, what specific authority or budget provision does DILG need from Congress para po magawa po natin ito?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008286

Yes, actually po ang mga BFP kasi natin po is NC2 trained po yan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008287

And well, we really need them.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008288

Kung hindi lang po yung 911 even sa training.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008289

But we make do of what we have.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008290

There are no reasons dahil kulang sa pondo, ihinto tayo.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008291

Hindi po yan ang patakaran ng ating Secretary Jalvik Rimulya under his leadership.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008292

So nakita naman po natin ang response time ng police.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008293

Nakita naman po natin ang galaw ng BFP.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008294

So I'm very proud and privileged to defend the DILG family.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008295

Because they are really performing well.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008296

Lalo na po sa mga nangyari sa ating pong bansa.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008297

Pero kung kulang man ang pondo,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008298

dyan po may sinubmit na po ang DILG family na dapat pag-usapan po dito sa plenaryo.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008299

Kung performing, I believe in meritocracy.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008300

Kung performing ang agency, dapat natin pong dagdagan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008301

Dahil safety po ng tao ang pinag-usapan po natin dito.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008302

Yes, and I agree to that 101% distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008303

So ang akin lang naman po ay tulong and suggestions.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008304

Because yung current 911 program po sa Amerika,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008305

kahit daw yung mga driver ng ambulansya,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008306

ay may special training sa paramedic.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008307

Ah yeah, sana po umabot tayo sa ganong level.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008308

Okay, let me proceed to my next question.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008309

Mr. Speaker, just one constructive question for the BJMP.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008310

Are all eligible PDLs or persons deprived of liberty registered with PhilHealth?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008311

And are the BJMP facilities actively linking them to YACAP accredited facilities,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008312

yung YACAP program po ng PhilHealth,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008313

so that they can access covered medicines through YACAP gamot?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008314

If not, what is preventing this?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008315

Not all facilities, but nagsisimula na po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008317

There are some facilities already.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008318

But I will be able to give you the specific number at the proper time,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008319

maybe by today, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008320

So, thank you for that, distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008321

Can the BJMP coordinate with PhilHealth?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008322

Ang akin lang naman po ay para makabawas.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008323

Yung BJMP na kung meron silang binibili ng gamot,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008324

yung mga kasama na dun sa YACAP gamot at sa YACAP clinics,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008325

ay hindi na po nila kailangan i-purchase.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008326

Yes.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008327

Pwede na lang bilhin dun sa...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008328

Yung mga pera nila, yung mga gamot na lang na kailangan na wala dun sa YACAP gamot.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008329

Yes. Actually, BJMP is doing that already.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008330

Pero dapat po sigurong pa-ingtingin pa,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008331

lalo na ang coordination sa ating mga LGUs na may YACAP and gamot program.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008332

So, sana po ma-improve lang natin yung registration at ma-qualify natin itong mga PPS.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008333

Yes. It's still ongoing and gagawin po yan ng BJMP.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008334

Thank you for that.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008335

Thank you for that, distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008336

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008337

And going to the BFP, Mr. Speaker...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008338

We already discussed BFP extensively during the committee hearing.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008339

So hindi ko na puulitin yung aking detailed questions.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008340

But the CPBRD's review of COA findings shows that as of the end of 2025,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008341

100 municipalities still had no activated fire stations.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008342

64 had neither a fire station or a fire truck.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008343

And BFP had shortages of 20,854 fire coats,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008344

22,019 gloves,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008345

and 36,888 fireman's hoods.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008346

Considering that the BFP has its regular appropriations plus fire code earmarked revenues,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008347

specifically available for modernization,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008348

may we request the BFP to submit to this representation

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008349

a national master plan for completely closing these gaps.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008350

For every LGU still lacking a fire station,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008351

or fire truck,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008352

and for every identified equipment shortage,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008353

what is needed, how much will it cost,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008354

what funding source,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008355

including yung earmarked revenues po natin,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008356

will be used,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008357

and by what year will the deficiency be eliminated?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008358

Isa pa pong tanong ko is,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008359

meron po ba tayong guideline or a scientific basis

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008360

on how many fire stations and fire trucks

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008361

should there be,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008362

for example,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008363

pagka may one municipality na halimbawa 30 baranggays.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008364

Tapos if the units are old na,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008365

let's say mga 3 or 4 years old,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008366

kailan po ba siya dapat i-replace?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008367

Kailan po ba siya nagiging obsolete?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008368

Okay.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008369

Sinsay lang po natin, no?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008370

So since marami po yan,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008371

talaga pong maraming challenges ang BFP.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008372

And I totally agree with my idol, Congressman Nazal.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008373

That's why we are asking for budget.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008374

Na hindi naman po talaga galing sa ga'a.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008375

Ang inihingi po natin yung sa fees na para po sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008376

Because according to our data,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008377

ang ginawa po natin pala before that,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008378

even last year,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008379

dapat po data-driven bago po magplano.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008380

Because we might be buying a thousand-gallon fire truck

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008381

pero hindi makakapasok dahil napakalaki.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008382

So ganoon na po yung ginawa ng Bureau of Fire and Protection.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008383

So it's not only the cleansing,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008384

but even the planning.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008385

But their planning is basing on the data.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008386

And as of now,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008387

61 po ang kulang pa natin na fire station.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008388

Fire trucks, 106.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008389

And kung tatanungin niyo po, ano yung lifespan?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008390

Hanggang 20 years.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008391

So ang inuna po talaga ng Bureau of Fire ngayon,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008392

lalo na po yung mga 40-year-old na fire trucks,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008393

so wala pong politika,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008394

but depending sa necessity

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008395

ng ating local government units,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008396

and we want this done.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008397

All we need is the release.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008398

And with the supervision of our good secretary

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008399

who cleansed the BFP,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008400

and even going to a government-to-government,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008401

so mas magiging pong madali,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008402

magiging transparent,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008403

and sasabi ko may accountability,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008404

wala pong korupsyon na pwedeng mangyari.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008405

Government there now,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008406

they just went to South Korea

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008407

two months ago or three months ago,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008408

so papunta na po tayo doon.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008409

So hindi lang po paglinis na nga hanay

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008410

ng ating personnel,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008411

even po yung ating equipment,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008412

and even po yung ating ambulansya,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008413

and lahat po ng personnel,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008414

mga nurses natin, sinabi natin,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008415

NC2, very well equipped,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008416

pero kulang pa ba kung pwede pang dagdagan ng training,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008417

dagdagan po natin.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008418

So we have to think of a lot of ways.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008419

So these are, we know the problem,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008420

and we know the solution.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008421

And the solution is,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008422

just release 80% of the fees

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008423

na naki-earmark po yearly sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008424

And I fully support you on that.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008425

Yan nga po yung pinaglalaban natin lagi sa DBM,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008426

na dapat ang earmark ng isang ahensya

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008427

ay dapat nakukuha niya.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008428

And I would like to applaud

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008429

the good secretary for doing a G2G

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008430

on the Eurofire.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008431

Just for the knowledge of everyone,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008432

kulang po natin is,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008433

40,000 personnel.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008434

Ang binibigay lang po ng DBMs natin is

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008435

2,000 personnel per year.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008436

Para masolve po natin ito,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008437

it will take 20 years.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008438

So we are just asking,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008439

additional 2,000

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008440

para sa sampung taon,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008441

kumpleto na po yung ating personnel sa BFP,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008442

dahil hindi lang po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008443

sa pagsugpo ng sunog

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008444

ang ginagawa nila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008445

Pati po pag-rescue,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008446

pati po 911,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008447

nasa BFP,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008448

sa kanila na.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008449

So, kung equip po natin sila,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008450

kung tutulungan po natin sila,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008451

mas magiging maganda ang servisyo

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008452

para sa ating mga kababayan.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008453

Thank you for that, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008454

So, ang hinihingi ko na lang po is,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008455

can the BFP commit to submit this master plan

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008456

with annual targets to Congress?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008457

Yes,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008458

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008459

Kailan mo kaya?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008460

Can we submit it by

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008461

Monday, next week?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008462

If you don't mind.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008463

Thank you for that.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008464

Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008465

And I fully support what you've said

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008466

na dapat po yung earmarked funds ng

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008467

DILG at ng Bureau of Fire

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008468

ay ma-release na po sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-008469

Maraming maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008470

Thank you.

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

to the Philippine Commission on Women.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008487

Una kong tanong,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008488

how much is the total estimated

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008489

5% GAD budget

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008490

across all

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008491

government entities

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008492

for 2027?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008493

Are we including

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008494

the LGUs, ma'am?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008495

I don't think we have that data

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008496

for now.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008497

But

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008498

aalamin po natin.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008499

Pero for national government agencies na lang po,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008500

itanggalin na po natin

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008501

yung LGUs.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008502

Ma'am, can I be clarified?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008503

Including the LGUs to, di ba?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008504

Kung wala pong data, even for the national agencies na lang po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008505

For the national agencies?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008506

Yes.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008507

One trillion po ang inabot

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008508

ng 2025.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008509

2025, one trillion.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008510

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008511

Napakalaki po ng budget

Source

asr-008512

kung tutuusin mo

asr-008513

para sa GAD. Hindi pa po kasama dyan.

Kasama na rin po ba dyan,

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008515

GOCCs? So, LGU lang po ang wala.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008516

I-factor in pa po natin

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008517

ang LGUs, so mas malaki po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008518

Mula pong LGU,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008519

hindi po natin sakupto.

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008520

GOCC.

Maraming salamat po.

Doon po sa porsyento

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008524

ng mga LGUs

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008527

and budgets and accomplishment report.

Ilan po ang porsyento

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008529

na ng compliance po natin ngayon?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008530

Let's break it down for LGUs

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008531

for national agencies.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008532

Yes, we'll get back

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008533

to you, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008534

We have to ask the DILG

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008535

sa kanya-kanya pong munisipyo.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008536

So, wala pong kapas

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008537

ang PCW na i-monitor po yun.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008538

But since part naman sila

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008539

ng DILG family,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008540

I think pwede po natin hingin

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008541

sa mga

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008542

nakadistino

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008543

sa kanya-kanya

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008544

ang mga munisipyo.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008545

So, ano lang po ang merong data

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008546

ang PCW now for national agencies?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008547

For national, GOCC,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008548

GOCC, SUCs.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008549

Ano po ang compliance rate po natin?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008550

For?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008551

77%, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008552

Pwede po ba natin pangalanan

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008553

yung mga agencies?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008554

At least sa level po ng agencies,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008555

sino po ang mga non-compliant?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008556

Pwede po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008557

Pwede po natin pangalanan

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008558

at sinumbong na natin yan sa

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008559

Commission on Human Rights.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008560

Opo.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008561

Because the PCW

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008562

has to work hand-in-hand with

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008563

the Commission on Human Rights, being the gender ombud.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008564

Ma'am, can we submit it to you?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008565

Pero alam naman po namin

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008566

and sinumbong na po yan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008567

So, pinangalanan na, but we don't have

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008568

the record as of this moment.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008569

But by, siguro,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008570

6.30, ma'am, nasa inyo na po yan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008571

Sige po. Maraming maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008572

Alam naman po

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008573

ng PCW yung mga challenges

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008574

na pinagdadaanan natin

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008575

sa pag-implement po

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008576

nitong

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008577

Magna Carta of Women.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008578

Special, especially,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008579

especially nga po

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008580

sa paggamit ng gender and development budget.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008581

In fact, last year,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008582

I delivered a privileged speech

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008583

seeking for the investigation

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008584

of the utilization of the GAD budget.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008585

So, ang gusto ko na lang po

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008586

sigurong tanungin,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008587

hindi ko na po pahabain,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008588

alam po ng PCW yung mga

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008589

kakulangan, yung mga challenges,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008590

yung mga gaps,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008591

para ma-implement fully

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008592

itong 17-year-old law

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008593

na po natin ngayon.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008594

And ang pinag-uusapan po natin

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008595

sa GAD budget, hindi maliit na budget.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008596

Even DBM admits

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008597

that we are talking about

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008598

a huge amount of money

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008599

for the gender and development.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008600

So, gusto po natin sana

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008601

na maumpisahan natin

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008602

gamitin ng tama

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008603

yung gender

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008604

and development budget.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008605

Next questions will be

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008606

para po sa PCW,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008607

meron po ba kayong

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008608

specific legislative amendments

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008609

sa Magna Carta

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008610

na gusto ninyong

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008611

i-propose sa Kongreso

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008612

para makapag-transition na tayo

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008613

dito sa arbitrary

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008614

financial spending target lang

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008615

para maging

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008616

legally enforceable

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008617

and outcome-based

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008618

yung framework ng ating gender and development.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008619

Yes, actually,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008620

we have 18 bills

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008621

and we can submit it

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008622

to our colleague, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008623

We have it now and we can submit it to you.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008624

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008625

In the meantime,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008626

would you recommend that Congress

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008627

bills pa lang po yan,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008628

alam naman po natin,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008629

mahaba pa ang tatakbuhin niya, no?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008630

In the meantime, would PCW,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008631

would you recommend that Congress

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008632

should put a special provision

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008633

in GAA

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008634

that will

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008635

effectively eradicate

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008636

paper compliance

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008637

and instead

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008638

mapipwersa po talaga

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008639

ang mga ahensya ng gobyerno

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008640

na gamitin ng tama

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008641

ang GAD budget?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008642

Yes,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008643

actually, may mga administrative penalties

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008644

din po yan and actually,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008645

COA rin po ang nagbabantay

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008646

lalo na minsan kung ano yung

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008647

nilalagay po sa GAD.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008648

So,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008649

I think the government

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008650

is also working.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008651

Not only PCW, but especially

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008652

COA, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008653

Nabanggit niyo po yung COA.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008654

Ito po bang, itong

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008655

meron, yung PCW

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008656

po ba,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008657

nagsusuporta na kung sakali

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008658

meron tayong mandatory

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

joint COA

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008662

magsasubject ng lahat

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008663

ng government agency

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008664

sa harmonized gender and

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008665

development guidelines.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008666

Budget attributions to

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008667

rigorous performance

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008668

audits bago

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008669

gamitin ang GAD fund.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008670

Yes, as much as we want that idea,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008671

ma'am, wala lang po kasi sa mandate

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008672

ng PCW yan, but

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008673

they can help

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008674

supervise kasi nasa

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008675

mandato po yan ng COA.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008676

Yes, and if possible,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008677

we can, that's why

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008678

ito pong questioning ko

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008679

ay mga

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008680

policy framework looking

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008681

forward, what can we do

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008682

with the current laws that we have

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008683

now, and paano natin

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008684

matutugunan yung mga challenges

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008685

dito para once and for all

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008686

magamit natin ng tama

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008687

at yung mandato

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008688

ng PCW at yung

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008689

Magna Carta of Women

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008690

ay talaga pong maisagawa natin.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008691

Yes, actually we have

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008692

18 bills from PCW.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008693

May proposal na po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

kaya lang ay

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008706

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-008709

ating mga kababaihan,

precise role ng DILG

sa local government

support fund?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008771

The function of DILG

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008772

is only monitoring and evaluation

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008773

Mr. Speaker.

Pardon?

Mr. Speaker,

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008851

ang role lang po

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-008853

May ganun po bang role

Sa ngayon po,

sa perspective po

ng

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009399

DILG,

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

equitable ba yan?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009401

Sir Speaker,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009402

totally agree

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

ah,

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009404

with you.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

But we need to

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009406

see the data.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009407

Hindi po ba

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009408

kailangan na

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009409

makialamang

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009410

ng DILG

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

with a

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009415

on this matter?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009416

I don't think,

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009417

ah,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

Mr. Speaker,

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009423

Um,

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009424

even Congress,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009425

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009426

we can use our

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009427

oversight function

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009428

regarding this matter.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009429

Because,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009430

ah,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009431

I'm with you.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009432

Um,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009433

I fully understand

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009434

where you're coming from.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009435

We want transparency,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009436

we want accountability,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009437

and we want it

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009438

equitable.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009439

But regarding

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009440

this, ah,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009441

issue,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009442

very limited din po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009443

yung, ah,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009444

ah,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009445

And we want

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009446

LGUs to be responsive

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009447

to

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009448

the needs

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009449

of our

people.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009451

Yes.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009452

And that's,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009453

ah,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009454

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009455

at yan po,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009456

eh,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009457

yan isa sa mga katungkulan

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009458

ng DILG

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009459

para i-capacitate

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009460

yung mga local government.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009461

Yes.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009462

Ngayon po,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009463

kung yung mismong

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009464

policy

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009465

ng

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009466

national government

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009467

ay hindi

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009468

nakakasagot dito,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009469

hindi po ba

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009470

pwedeng magkaroon

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009471

na...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009472

Ah, to be fair,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009473

ah,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009474

Mrs.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009475

Speaker, 2026, lahat po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009476

ng LGUs ay nakakuha ng

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009477

LGSF. Lahat.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009478

Lahat nga po, pero hindi

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009479

equitable.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009479-split-2

Well, that's

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009480

being equitable,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009481

medyo may

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009482

fine line,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009483

but the policy also can be improved.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009484

Because sometimes,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009485

Mr. Speaker, iba-iba po yung

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009486

kailangan rin ng mga LGUs.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009487

And kailangan rin po yung mga

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009488

LGUs is medyo makukulit din po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009489

Alam natin sa gobyerno, we have only

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009490

three years. So, kailangan rin po maging

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009491

makulit po tayo.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009492

Pagdating po sa determination ng mga

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009493

proyekto na ito,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009494

pinaubaya na po

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009495

ng DILG sa

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009496

Commission on Audit, yung pagchecheck

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009497

sa mga proyekto kung na-implement o hindi.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009498

I think, Mr. Speaker, it's not

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009499

pinaubaya, but

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009500

that's their mandate. But

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009501

ang pagtulong po ng DILG

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009502

since may mga DILG officers tayo

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009503

sa bawat munisipyo, is to

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009504

monitor. And we even

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009505

the DILG hired engineers

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009506

and project evaluation

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009507

officers para po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009508

kasama po yun sa

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009509

pag-empower ng ating pong

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009510

local government units.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009511

And na-hire

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009512

nga po noong 2026,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009513

other technical support staff is about

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009514

684. So,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009515

kahit konti po yung pondo,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009516

dahil may mandato tayo,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009517

pag-monitor,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009518

pag-supervise,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009519

ginagawa po yan ng ating pong

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009520

DILG family.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009520-split-2

Yes, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009521

alam na alam ko po na bawat

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009522

local governments may mga

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009523

DILG officials.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009524

Kaya madaling makamonitor

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009525

yung mga proyekto na

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009526

pinaputunguhan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009526-split-2

Yes, but aside from

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009527

sa mga DILG officers,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009528

nagtataka po ako bakit

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009529

Bakit hanggang ngayon, wala kayo nakita

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009530

ng mga pagkakamali. Samantalang

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009531

mabubuksan nyo lang yung Facebook,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009532

makikitaan nyo na yung

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009533

maraming pagkakamali.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009534

Pagkakamali at pagkukulang at kung paano

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009535

ginagasta.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009535-split-2

Yes, I agree,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009536

Mr. Speaker, but we have to be careful

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009537

with Facebook. There are AIs

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009538

now. There are a lot of fake news.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009539

So, dito pa rin po tayo

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009540

sa report po ng COA.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009541

Report po siguro mismo

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009542

kung may sulat galing sa barangay

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009543

captain. Dapat official

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009544

because I'm scared about meta.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009545

Okay.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009546

Salamat po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009547

So, hindi ba maganda

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009548

kung magkakaroon po ng corruption

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009549

detection and enforcement ng DILG

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009550

pagdating po dito sa napaka...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009551

Kasi po, unprecedented in the history

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009552

of our country na napakalaki

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009553

ng LGSF.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009554

At ito po ay parang blank check.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009555

Blank check po ito na pinagkakalob

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009556

ng Kongreso

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009557

sa Pangulo.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009558

Parang itong

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009559

discretionary fund na ng Pangulo

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009560

sa pagbibigay. So,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009561

dapat na mo monitor naman.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009562

I think it's unfair

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009563

to mention that.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009564

But to answer, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009565

ang ginawa po ng DILG,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009566

number one, is hiring of additional personnel.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009567

684.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009568

Number two, we have a portal.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009569

Subaybayan portal where

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009570

progress of project

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009571

implementation is uploaded

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009572

para po maging transparent

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009573

and can be accessed by the public.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009574

Number three,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009575

third-party monitoring for projects

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009576

for implementation.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009577

Number four, project should be

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009578

included in their comprehensive

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009579

development plan

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009580

bago po sila maka-apply

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009581

sa portal ng DBM.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009582

But, regarding yung

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009583

I agree with you, pwede pa pong

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009584

improve, but I just have

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009585

to be fair with everyone,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009586

especially including the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009587

President.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009588

Ang portal po, hindi po si

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009589

Presidente BBM ang tumitingin.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009590

So, minsan po, kung sino po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009591

nag-a-apply dun sa portal,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009592

at pag na-evaluate din po,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009593

yun po yung nakakuha. But, to be

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009594

equitable,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009595

I cannot really answer

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009596

because I don't have the data.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009597

So, sino po, kung hindi si Presidente,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009598

sino po nag-de-determine?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009599

DBM.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009600

DBM po ang magde-determine?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009601

There's a policy. There's a policy

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009602

and there are guidelines.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009603

Sino po nag-release ang pondo,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009604

kanino po kayo mag-a-apply? DBM.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009605

For example,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009606

for LGUs,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009607

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009609

Falgo po ang pinag-usapan natin.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009610

All LGUs, regardless of level,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009611

PCMB,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009612

are eligible to apply.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009613

All LGUs are eligible

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009614

to apply. Applications

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009615

shall be coursed through

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009616

the Ugnayan Bayan Portal,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009617

or UBP. The DBM

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009618

shall review and select qualified LGUs

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009619

and release the funds directly

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009620

to the proponent LGU.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009621

Because there are also some

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009622

na-release-an po ng LGSF.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009623

Tapos hindi natapos 'yung proyekto.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009624

Mag-release po ba ang DBM? Hindi.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009625

So there are guidelines also that the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009626

DBM is following, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009627

So may scorecard po ito?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009628

Yes.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009629

At aware po dito.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009630

But I think the best person

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009631

Aware po dito ang DILG sa scorecard na ito.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009632

The best person

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009633

to answer that is DBM.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009634

But if the DILG

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009635

is aware,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009636

DILG is aware of the projects

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009637

that was granted,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009638

dahil yung po yung sinusupervised po nila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009639

Pero kung aware po ba,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009640

kung magkano yung nakuha

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009641

na data, I think they can be aware.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009642

We can pull the data.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009643

But as of now, the DILG has no data

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009644

of all the LGSF

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009645

funds na binigay sa mga munisipyo.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009646

Don't you think, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009647

that the DILG is more technically

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009648

capable of determining

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009649

the real needs of local governments

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009650

rather than the DBM?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009651

I truly understand you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009652

So why is DILG?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009653

Why is it that the DBM decides?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009654

Why did the DBM allocate?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009655

Why did the DBM chooses?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009656

Ongoing po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009657

When the

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009658

technical capability

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009659

belongs to

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009660

the DILG.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009661

Yes. That's why

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009662

constant po ang pakikipag-usap

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009663

because I really understand

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009664

where you're coming from, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009665

Pinaglalaban rin po ng DILG.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009666

And alam ko rin po yung gusto nyo

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009667

isasagot ko po sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009668

Pero I have to be fair.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009669

Hindi lang po ito

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009670

DILG o DBM.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009671

Maraming pa pong ibang factors.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009672

Basta ang maganda

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009673

ay lahat po ng LGU

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009674

na bibigyan ng LGSF.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009675

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009676

I don't want to belabor the point.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009677

I already exceeded my promised

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009678

15 minutes, 21 minutes na po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009679

Naintindihan ko po ang inyong kalagayan

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009680

pero sa tingin ko,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009681

hinakailangan magkaroon din po kayo ng

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009682

polisiya o at least

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009683

sa opinion

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-009684

pagdating po dito sa paggamit

Distinguished Sponsor,

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009714

Ang DILG ay

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009715

naglabas ng

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009716

Joint Memorandum Circular

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

Guidelines regarding

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009723

po ito sa Section 32-A.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009724

Nai-ano ko na ito

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009725

kay Sekretary. Gusto ko lang

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009726

for the record para

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009727

hindi in-reiterate ko lang.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009728

No? Kasi

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009729

baka makalimutan

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009730

na naman. So,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009731

napaka-importante po

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009732

nito. Ayaw ko na sana magtanong

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009733

pero mga importante

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009734

kasi ito, 'yung mga ano.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009735

So,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009736

So,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009737

ah,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009738

is DILG aware

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009739

of any local government unit

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009740

that continue to

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009741

assess or collect local taxes?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009742

Pinatanggal na nga ni, ano eh,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009743

ni Presidente

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009744

yung value-added tax.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009745

Ito mas malaki ito sa value-added

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009746

tax.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009747

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009748

I have here a Memorandum Circular

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009749

number 2025-041.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009750

By the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009751

DILG. You might be referring

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009752

to this.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009752-split-2

Thank you,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009753

Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009754

Ang problema kasi,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009755

mayroon pa rin mga

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009756

LGU

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009757

that continue to assess.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009758

Parang hindi sila

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009759

sumunod sa

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009760

circular. Yan po yung problema.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009761

So,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009762

ano bang magagawa ng DILG

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009763

kung hindi sila susunod?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009764

Kasi yung mga

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009765

taxes na yan

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009766

ay pinapasa po

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009767

ng mga electric cooperatives

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009768

sa consumers, sa constituents nila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009769

Well, this is a memorandum

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009770

only, but

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009771

kung hindi po talaga susunod at may

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009772

nakikita tayong kamalian,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009773

pwedeng ipaibistigahan ng DILG.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009774

But kung gusto nyo pong mabilis,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009775

kasuhan nyo po ang LGU.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009776

Ang

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009777

DILG po,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009778

kagaya ng naitanong na kanina

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009779

ng naunang interpilator,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009780

mayroon po tayong

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009781

mga DILG sa lahat

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009782

ng LGU.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009783

So,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009784

pupwede po ba na

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009785

i-authorize natin yung mga

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009786

DILG na yan to resolve

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009787

this issue kung mayroong

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009788

ayaw sumunod?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009789

As long as we can get the data and identify

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009790

the LGUs, and we will get

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009791

the data from the LGUs.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009792

Ang na-identify ko lang,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009793

Mr. Speaker, mga apat na LGU,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009794

nasabi ko na yan nung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009795

budget briefing,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009796

but in general, pwede po ba na

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009797

i-authorize ng sekretary

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009798

yung mga DILG officers

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009799

natin sa bawat LGU

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009800

to resolve the issue kung sa kasakali

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009801

any LGU

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009802

will not comply with that

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009803

circular?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009804

Yes, the LGU has

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009805

committed to your suggestion.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009806

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009807

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009808

Now, on the other hand,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009809

pinapa-remove na po

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009810

ni Presidente yung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009811

system loss.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009812

But, after

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009813

deliberation,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009814

alam naman po natin

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009815

na ang pwede lang i-remove

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009816

yung non-technical losses.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009817

Pero yung technical,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009818

matitira yan,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009819

pwedeng pababaan pa.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009820

Now, alam po ba

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009821

ng

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009822

Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009823

yung tatay po niyo ang

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009824

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009825

sa pagbalangkas

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009826

ng EPIRA,

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009827

yung nagpataas ng kuryente natin,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009828

sa tatay mo yan eh.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009829

So, isa po dyan,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009830

Section 37F,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009831

may...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009832

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009833

I would like to clarify.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009834

My father is no longer

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009835

alive.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009836

I would like the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009837

statement of our

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009838

respected, distinguished colleague

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009839

na parang

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009840

ang dating sinisisi yung tatay ko

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009841

sa pagtaas ng kuryente.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009842

I'm just joking kasi ano tayo,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009843

BFF tayo.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009844

For the record, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009845

Yung tatay mo ang

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009846

kasakasama ko

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009847

dito sa EPIRA.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009848

Kaya I'm joking na

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009849

tatay mo ang nagpat...

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009850

Yung implementation ng EPIRA, may mali tayo.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009851

I'm just joking.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009852

I would like to clarify, Mr. Speaker, kasi

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009853

ang dami na pong fake news na lumalabas.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009854

Noted.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009855

But I would like to clarify...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009856

I think this is

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009857

EPIRA. It's no longer related

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009858

to the DILG, but I can

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009859

answer you tomorrow.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009860

My apology.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009861

No harm done, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009862

Ang Section 37F

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009863

dyan ay

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009864

kaakibat dyan dito sa system loss.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009865

Galing yan sa Section 10

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009866

DILG,

magandang proposal ng DILG?

Nung

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009883

Republic Act 7832,

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009884

we need to amend

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009885

RA 7832

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

yung enforcement

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

yung Anti-Electricity Pilferage Act,

ay talagang gagamitan

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009896

natin ng pulis.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009897

Not yung mga barangay

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009899

again, para

magpatulong tayo sa DILG,

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009904

enforcement ng anti-electricity

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

pilferage?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009905-split-2

Yes, actually,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009906

nag-issue na po ang DILG noong 2006

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009907

and we will again reissue

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009908

para tumulong

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009909

po sa anti-pilferage.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009910

How about, Mr. Speaker,

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009911

Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009912

Amendment ng EPIRA

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009913

nakatotok doon sa

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009914

enforcement lang ng mga provisions.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009915

Yes, I think they will study it further but regarding amendment, that's the role of Congress and Senate.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009916

Yes, pero ano, I am asking Distinguished Sponsor kung may maganda silang provision kasi mas kabisado nila paano sila papasok.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009917

I totally agree, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009918

So, I am asking the sponsor kung may proposal sila kasi we need to amend yung RA 7832 para sa removal ng non-technical system loss.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009919

Yes, totally agree, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009920

Siguro yun lang dalawa, at least may anim sana ako na katanungan dito.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009921

Pero for the interest of time.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009922

Kasi may mga dumadating pa na mga minority, madagdagan pa yung mga magtatanong.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009923

Bilisan na natin habang wala pang dumarating.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009924

So, yung dalawa lang na katanungan, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009925

Distinguished Sponsor, maraming salamat sa kasagutan.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-009926

Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker, at magandang gabi po sa ating ginoong sponsor at ang kanyang kapwa-sponsor

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009932

at sa ating pong DILG family, attached agencies. Magandang gabi po sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009933

Nabalitaan po natin ang denial ng asylum request ni Harry Roque.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009934

Maybe here confirmation or an update from the DILG regarding this matter.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009935

Legal yan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009936

Normal courses is six months. It passed already, neither approved or disapproved.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009937

Regarding red notice, all documents, yun naunaan ko na eh.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009938

All documents requested by the Interpreter.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009939

Interpol have been submitted by the PCTC.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009940

Are we looking at a timeline kung kailan po natin maiuwi si Harry Roque dito para mapanagot sa kanyang mga kasalanan?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009941

We will have to follow up with the Interpol, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009942

Mr. Speaker, thank you very much, Mr. Sponsor, for the response to that very crucial question at this point in time.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009943

Kasi po, nababahala ang taong bayan na

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009944

ginagawa at inaabuso ng mga pugante ang proseso ng political asylum.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009945

Iba ang political persecution sa totoong nagkasala sa batas.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009946

And no less than a former law school from the UP College of Law should know this.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009947

Let me move on to another topic, Mr. Speaker, Ginong Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009948

Let's talk about the 911 hotline.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009949

Ayon po sa DILG, Unified 911 Emergency System officially went live last year in NCR, BARMM, Region 1, and Region 7.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009950

Pero sabi na,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009951

sa PNP, nakadepende ang reliability ng hotline sa signal strength.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009952

In areas with weak or no mobile signal, emergency calls may face connectivity issues.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009953

Ang tanong po ng ating mga kababayan, ibig sabihin po ba nito kapag walang signal, wala ding response?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009954

May plano po ba ang DILG na magkaroon ng redundancy o offline system?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009955

Yes, naandyan po, but we have to coordinate also with DICT since sa mandato rin po nila yan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009956

May pinamimigay na nga po ng mga Starlink, lalo na sa mga schools, lalo na sa mga walang signal na mga areas.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009957

So DILG is already coordinating with DICT para wala pong duplication sa ating pong pagagasahan, lalo na kung walang signal ang lugar.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009958

Napakahalaga po, Mr. Speaker, yun na, banggit na ating ginong sponsor, dapat walang duplication.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009959

Mr. Speaker, there's a directive ng DICT, may last mile po sila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009960

So, last mile.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009961

So, yung kadulod-duluhan po, kailangan po magkasignal.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009962

Maraming salamat, ginong sponsor, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009963

Ang tanong lamang po ay, so sa dulo po, kaninong budget kukuhanin yung ating investment for this last mile effort?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009964

It's with the private sector, actually.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009965

Telcos po talaga.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009966

But since may kakulangan, mapasok po yung nag-intervene ng government.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009967

Lalo na sa mga coastal areas.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009968

Wala pong telco na nakapasok.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009969

Nito pong nakaraang Augusto, may pagkaantala sa emergency response sa isang senior citizen sa Taguig.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009970

Ito po'y napabalita at nakalalungkot po dahil namatay siya kinalaunan.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009971

Paano po tinitiyak ng DILG na maayos ang coordination between our 911 dispatchers and our medical response units?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009972

Ma'am, Mr. Speaker, can we get more specific?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009973

Since nabanggit ko naman po kanina na...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009974

Sa 911, million-million po yung tumatawag.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009975

So, can you, I'll ask your indulgence to give us more specific data regarding this matter

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009976

so that we can answer appropriately and take action appropriately also, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009977

Mr. Speaker, ginong sponsor, we will forward to your office the details of this incident in Taguig.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009978

But this was widely reported in media.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009979

Let me go to the more general question of how do we ensure...

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009982

yung mabilis na coordination between our dispatchers and our medical response units?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009983

Yes, all the 911 are all recorded.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009984

That's why sa data po natin, nakikita natin may prank call, ilan yung totoo, ilan po yung nasagi po natin.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009985

So, we have these datas, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009986

So, kung meron po tayong naganyang datos, ilan na po ang natanggap na calls at ilan na po ang natugunan nating mga kababayan

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009987

sa ating 911 service, Mr. Speaker, ginong sponsor?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009988

Yes, I'll just pull up the data again.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009989

The calls is about 14,461,871 incoming calls.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009990

13,931,388 handled calls.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009991

96.33% handling efficiency.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009992

530,483 abandoned.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009993

17,469 documented prank calls.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009994

The volume is approximately 53,000 incoming calls per day.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009995

So, if we get the specific, lalo yung sa Taguig, dahil recorded naman po yun,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-009996

kaya po natin malaman kung ano po yung nangyari po talaga doon.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009997

Marami pong salamat, Mr. Speaker, ginong sponsor.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009998

So, mukha pong napaka-critical na serbisyo ito na kailangan-kailangan na ating bayan at dahan-dahan pong...

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-009999

Ina-avail at niyayakap ng ating mga kababayan ang serbisyong ito.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010000

Kaya po, ang tanong ay magkano po ang pondo na nakalaan sa emergency response vehicles

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010001

at infrastructure ng 911 command centers sa iba't-ibang mga regions sa Pilipinas?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010002

Mr. Speaker, can I be clarified of funding for this year or for the 2027?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010003

For the... for 2027.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010004

For 2027 is P224 million.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010005

Napakaliit po para sa entire...

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010006

Philippines.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010007

So, on top of the current...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010008

That's why we are asking for additional funds, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010009

And we will help the good sponsor get to that particular point.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010010

So, kung kailangan po natin additional funds, dito po sa current entry sa ating pong GAB na allocation for our command centers and response vehicles,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010011

ilang regions po ang madagdag at makukover natin?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010012

Well, we have...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010013

We have 10 satellite command centers nationwide.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010014

Catered na po lahat ng region po na yan.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010015

Lahat?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010016

Lahat ng region at yung...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010017

Language sensitive rin po yun, ha?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010018

Okay.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010019

So, magkano po yung kailangan pa nating dagdag to be able to not just cater to the needs of these regions,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010020

but to establish robust systems in this region?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010021

Napakaliit lang po for the 96.33% efficiency.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010022

372 million lang po ang kailangan.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010023

One more time, Mr. Speaker, ginawang sponsor for the record.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010024

372 million ang kailangan.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010025

372 million. And that would translate to what exactly?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010026

373 million.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010027

This will provide an additional appropriate for the Bureau's emergency...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010028

operating costs, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010029

Would that be additional operating costs?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010030

Meron po ba itong dimension ng capital outlay?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010031

Iba po yun ang request for the ambulances naman po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010032

We're talking about the 911.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010033

373 million po yung kailangan po natin for 2027.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010034

Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker, ginawang sponsor.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010035

Tayo po sa Akbayan ay nag-file ng House Bill 8417,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010036

which institutionalizes an emergency medical services system in the country.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010037

Sa panahon ng emergency, every second counts.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010038

And we are counting...

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010039

counting on the support of the DILG for this very important piece of legislation.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010040

Let me move on to an issue that's very close to my heart

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010041

as former Commissioner of the National Youth Commission.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010042

Ito po yung transparency and public disclosure of SK funds.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010043

Sabi sa isang Joint Memorandum Circular ng DILG, NYC, at DBM,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010044

required ang SK Councils na i-post ang kanilang Comprehensive Barangay Youth Development Plan,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010045

Annual Barangay Youth Investment Program, Resolutions and Statements,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010046

of Receipts and Expenditures sa SK Full Disclosure Policy Board.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010047

Again, this is a physical policy board.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010048

Although hindi mandatory, highly encouraged din ang mga SK na ipost ang mga ito online.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010049

Would we know po kung ilang porsyento ng mga barangay ang may social media posting of their SK budget,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010050

the CBYDP, or quarterly financial statements?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010051

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010052

As of now, Mr. Speaker, wala po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010053

But we will look...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010054

Look into it.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010055

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, ginong sponsor.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010056

Sa tingin po ba ng DILG at ng NYC,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010057

pwede nating gawing mandatory policy ang social media posting for transparency?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010058

Yes, Mr. Speaker. Totally agree.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010059

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010060

And we feel strongly about this, Mr. Speaker, ginong sponsor,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010061

kasi nga po naniniwala tayo nung ating binoo ang SK Reform Law,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010062

na dapat hindi maging breeding ground for corruption ng SK,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010063

at maging training ground.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010064

For transparency and accountability.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010065

We hope that DILG and NYC can make this a mandatory policy the soonest time possible.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010066

May we get the commitment of the good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010067

Yes, we are committed to do that.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010068

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010069

Let me move on to a very painful and sensitive topic for the nation right now.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010070

Sa pagitan po ng initial budget hearings at plenary debates,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010071

nakalulungkot po na may isa na naman tayong hinarap na insidente ng school shooting.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010072

Three children were dead while eight were injured.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010073

Katulad naman ang nakaraang kaso ng school violence,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010074

ang baril na ginamit sa nasabing isidente ay government-issued firearm.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010075

Kaya nga po napakasakit isipin na para mga baril na galing sa gobyerno

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010076

ang pumapatay sa ating mga bata.

Source

Batay din sa initial report ng pulisya,

maaaring maimpluensyahan din ang mga bata sa mga true crime community sa deep dark web.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010079

Kaya po ang tanong natin sa DILG,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010080

ano po ang ginagawa ng DILG at PNP patungkol po sa insidenteng ito?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010081

Yes, Mr. Speaker, we have to amend some legislation,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010082

especially regarding the firearms.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010083

Sad to say, Mr. Speaker, yung mga baril,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010084

sila nakuha sa tatay, nakuha sa auntie,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010085

so sa relative.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010086

So we need the legislation,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010087

lalo na po sa mga license na tumahawak ng baril,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010088

to safekeep ang kanilang pong firearms.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010089

But,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010090

this is not only the problem of the government.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010091

As I've said a while ago,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010092

I think this is a social problem.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010093

Especially with Facebook,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010094

Meta,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010095

fake news, etc.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010096

But the DILG is doing something about it.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010097

And this is no joke.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010098

Even Congress is doing something about it.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010099

We have to regulate,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010100

especially the use

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010101

of Facebook,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010102

especially to our kids.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010103

Ang nakakalungkot po,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010104

kabataan po ang tinatarget ng mga terrorist acts

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010105

who are brainwashing our kids.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010106

But it is through legislation also

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010107

that we can empower our law enforcement,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010108

lalo na kung mas lalo pa nating palawakin yung parusa,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010109

lalo na sa may may-ari ng mga firearms.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Source

not just the whole of government,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010115

but the whole of nation approach

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010116

in addressing gun violence in our schools.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010117

Let me just put a pin on the legislation part

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010118

and we'll do that later in this part of my interpellation

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

and go back to the issue of gun control.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010120

Ang DILG po ba at ang PNP ay bukas na mag-conduct

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010121

ng comprehensive safety audit at physical accounting

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010122

ng lahat ng government-issued firearms sa bansa?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010123

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010124

Actually, PNP is doing it.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010125

PNP is doing it already.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010126

That's welcome development and good news from the DILG.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010127

Ang DILG po ba at ang PNP, Mr. Speaker,

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

ginong sponsor,

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010129

ay open into reviewing guidelines

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010130

on physical possession, authorization, condition,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010131

and safekeeping of government-issued firearms?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010132

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010133

So we will await...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010134

Not only government, but all.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010135

Not only sa government firearms, but all.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010136

All firearms.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010138

That's very good, Mr. Speaker, ginong sponsor.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010139

On behalf of Akbayan Party-list po,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010140

this representation would like to extend our sincerest condolences

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010141

to the families affected by...

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010142

By violence in schools, lahat po tayo naniniwalang ang paaralan ang pangalawang tahanan ng ating mga anak, kaya dapat masiguro nating ligtas sila sa karahasan.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010143

Isa pong nakita natin na pinropose recently is the use of transparent bags.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010144

Mayroon po bang efforts ang DILG and PNP in cooperation with the DepEd to look into the efficacy of using transparent bags for our school children?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010145

Yes, but it's a DepEd policy, but the DALG is working with DepEd and even DSWD, and even DICT, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010146

So nakita ko po sa balita that the DepEd is giving a certain policy pertaining to this, and we hope that the DALG and even the DSWD would be able to join this effort,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010147

especially po dahil dagdag na gastos na naman ito, ito'y matutuloy, ngunit kinakailangan talaga.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010148

Kung nakatransparent bag lamang po yung mga batang pumapasok sa eskwela,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010149

makikita, mas mahirapang itago yung mga baril po na maaaring nakatago at patalim na naroon,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010150

dahil wala po talagang espasyo ang baril at patalim sa loob ng ating mga eskwelahan.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010151

And in light with this, we have filed House Bill 158, prescribing measures to address child safety against gun violence.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010152

We are also planning to file a resolution to urge the conduct of a safety audit of all government-issued firearms to designated personnel.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010153

We hope that the DALG and the PNP would put this concern,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010154

as a top priority.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-010155

That would be my last question, Mr. Speaker, ginong sponsor, at marami pong salamat sa inyo at sa DALG family.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010156

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Ngayon naman, Mr. Speaker,

a good sponsor. Natanong po

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010323

natin yan dahil nakakabahala

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010324

na 65% ang budget

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

cut ng ECCDC.

at napapalakas talaga natin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010340

ang ECCD system.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010343

budget cut na 20

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010344

million pesos. Pagdating

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010345

naman sa

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010346

accreditation ng ECCD

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010348

pagkalaki-laki ng kaltas.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010349

Sila po ay mababawasan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010350

ng 182 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010351

So from 207 million

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010352

pesos,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010353

magiging nasa 24 million na lang.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010354

Kumbaga, pagkaliit-liit po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010355

ng pondo para sa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010356

mahalagang gawain na ito. Maari bang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010357

maipaliwanag ng ating sponsor

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010358

kung paano maapektuhan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010359

ang mahalagang mandato ng ECCD

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010360

Council sa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010361

napakaliit na pondo na ito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010362

para sa mga mayor na programa nila?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010363

Yes, actually, for the record,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010364

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010365

ang hiningi po ng

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010366

ECCDC ay

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010367

1 billion.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010368

Ah, but

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010369

ang

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010370

lumabas lang po sa NEP is

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010371

124 million.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010372

Comparative dun po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010373

sa GAA ng 2026,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010374

357 million.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010375

So talaga pong malaking epekto,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010376

lalo na sa programa.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010377

That's why we are asking our colleagues

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010378

na

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010379

tasan po yung pondo para

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010380

magawa naman po nila yung mandato.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010381

Because I believe in the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010382

formative years, pag na

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010383

pabayaan po natin ito,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010384

hahabol po tayo.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010385

So I agree with our colleague

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010386

na sana po tulungan niyo po kami

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010387

na mataasan ang pondo ng ECCDC

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010388

na may request pong

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010389

901,716,000.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010390

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010391

ano pong sinabing dahilan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010392

ng DBM? Kung bakit

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010393

pagkaliit-liit ng naisama

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010394

sa NEP at ngayon sa GAF?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010395

As much as we want to answer,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010396

but I have to be

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010397

responsible na

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010398

wala po po,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010399

dito yung DBM. So I think

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010400

we should ask the DBM.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010401

Wala rin pong sinabi

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010402

kung bakit po ganito yung pondo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010403

Mr. Speaker, nandito rin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010404

yung ating ECCDC.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010405

At mamaya po, sana po,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010406

makapagbigay ng malinaw na paliwanag

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010407

kung bakit ganito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010408

Dahil, ibang klase pong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010409

pagbaba, ibang klaseng

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010410

pagliit po ang nangyari

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010411

sa programa na ito. Bakit

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010412

ito mahalaga ang concern ngayon, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010413

Bago lang,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010414

ang pagpapalakas ng ECCD

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010415

system. Dati po, yan yung ating

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010416

Early Years Act of 2013.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010417

Ang layon sana

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010418

nitong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010419

2025

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010420

or

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010421

2022, noong nagpasa po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010422

tayo ng bagong batas para

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010423

palakasin ito, ay

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010424

mas malawak, mas

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010425

ayon sa standards

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010426

ng pagiging

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010427

hindi lang po child-friendly, pero

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010428

para talaga sa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010429

pagsisilbi sa interes,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010430

sa kapakanan, sa karapatan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010431

ng mga bata, ang ating mga CDCs.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010432

Pero nakita po natin,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010433

nagtanong tayo sa DepEd, wala silang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010434

pondo para dito. Nagtanong tayo sa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010435

DSWD, sila po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010436

ay wala nang kinalaman sa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010437

standard setting,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010438

sa procedures.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010439

Ang hawak na lang po nila na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010440

mandato ay may kinalaman sa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010441

feeding, sa supplementary feeding,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010442

sa nutrisyon ng mga bata. At

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010443

lahat po ng pondo na may kinalaman

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010444

dito, nakalagay na po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010445

sa ECCDC at sa mga

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010446

local government units.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010447

Kaya po, kung meron ding ulat

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010448

ang DILG

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010449

tungkol sa monitoring,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010450

evaluation, nang nabanggit po nila

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010451

na nasa 91.68%

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010452

ng mga barangay

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010453

na may CDC, ay makakatulong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010454

para mas busisiin po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010455

natin ang paggana ng bagong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010456

batas na ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010457

Ngayon naman, Mr.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010458

Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, sinusuportahan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010459

po ba ng DILG at nananawagan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010460

ng ECCDC na ma-restore

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010461

sa previous level

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010462

ng kanilang budget ang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010463

nabanggit ko pong programa, lalong-lalo

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010464

na sa capacity building at institutional

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010465

development?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010465-split-2

Definitely yes,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010466

Madam Speaker, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010467

Maraming salamat. Ngayon naman, Mr.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010468

Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, nabanggit

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010469

din ang ating sponsor na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010470

pinakauna sa Asia,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010471

ang Pilipinas, pagdating sa parity

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010472

score. Maari po ba itong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010473

maipaliwanag ng ating distinguished sponsor?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010474

Ano po ang ating ibig sabihin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010475

kapag sinabi natin na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010476

nangunguna ang Pilipinas

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010477

pagdating sa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010478

global gender parity?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010479

It is based on the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010480

World Economic Forum

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010481

sa Global

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010482

Gender Graph

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010483

Index.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010484

It's based on the parameters, education,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010485

health,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010486

political participation,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010487

so may mga

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010488

grading system po. So hindi po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010489

galing sa ano, but

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010490

and

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010491

it was a, and we can

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010492

give you the report, kakalabas lang po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010493

last week lang po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010494

And we can submit, Mr.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010495

Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010496

Tama po yun, Mr.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010497

Speaker, distinguished sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010498

Pagdating po sa Global Gender

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010499

Gap Index, talaga pong masasabi

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010500

natin na isa sa pinaka

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010501

una ang Pilipinas. Lagi po tayong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010502

nangunguna dahil

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010503

at kung maaari po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010504

itong mabigyan ng pagsangayon

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010505

o mas mapayaman pa ng

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010506

PCW. Ang Pilipinas po kasi

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010507

ang isa rin sa mga bansa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010508

sa Asia na may pinakamaraming

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010509

listahan ng mga batas

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010510

na nakatuon talaga sa interest at kapakanan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010511

ng mga kababaihan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010512

Nagtanong po ako kung ano

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010513

yung parity score. Kasi yung

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010514

parity score po, bagamat mataas

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010515

po tayo, nasabi niyo po,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010516

yung mga indicators.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010517

Yung parity score, ang sinasabi niya

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010518

lang ay kung gaano ba nakaka-apekto

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010519

ang iyong pagiging babae

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010520

o pagiging lalaki

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010521

sa pagkamit ng karapatan,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010522

pagkakaroon ng resources,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010523

pagkakaroon ng opportunities

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010524

na may kinalaman sa apat na mahalagang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010525

indicators. Pagdating

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010526

sa economic participation and opportunity,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010527

one being the perfect

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010528

score, one being the equal

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010529

score, nasa 0.78

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010530

ang score ng Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010531

Sa educational attainment, mataas-taas

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010532

po tayo, 0.98.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010533

Pagdating naman sa health and survival,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010534

0.98.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010535

Pagdating sa political empowerment, dito po tayo pinakamababa. Ito po yung dahilan kung bakit medyo bumaba po tayo pagdating sa global rankings, nasa 0.37.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010536

Ang ibig sabihin nito, Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor, nasa 37% pa lang tayo dun sa gusto nating makamit na 100% na equal rights, opportunities, resources pagdating po sa paghawak halimbawa ng posisyon sa pamahalaan ng kababaihan, pagdating sa pagkakaroon ng pantay na boses sa decision making at sa policy making at marami pang ibang mga challenges pagdating po sa equality.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010537

Ang sinasabi lang nito, kung gaano ba ka nagiging barrier yung gender mo. Pero hindi po nito minimesure halimbawa yung quality, accessibility, availability. Kasi po baka ma-surprise tayo, oh, ang taas ng score natin pagdating sa health and survival.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010538

Alam na po natin na marami pa rin tayong challenges pagdating sa pagkamit ng pantay na karapatan sa kalusugan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010539

So, yun lang po para sa mga nagtatanong kung baka, kung anong ibig sabihin.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010540

Yung pagiging number one ng Pilipinas sa parity score sa Asia.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010541

Natanong ko po ito dahil ang PCW din ang ating agency na nagsisiguro na sumusunod na compliant ang ating mga national government agencies, GOCCs, SUCs at LGUs sa Magna Carta of Women.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010542

At mula po sa naipasa na pinakapinal na GAD utilization report mula sa DBM na nanggaling din po sa PCW.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010543

Sinabi po dito na 80.62% ng mga nalaan na GAD budget ng mga agencies ay nagamit.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010544

Maari po bang magbahagi ang PCW ng mga partikular na proyekto ng mga ahensya kung saan po naging compliant ang mga agency sa pagpapatupad nito?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010545

Halimbawa na lang, Mr. Speaker, magbigay na lang po ako ng example.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010546

Dahil napakarami po nating NGAs at GOCCs.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010547

Ang number one po sa mga NGAs pagdating sa total GAD budget allocation, gayon din po sa percentage ng utilization, ay ang Department of Labor and Employment.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010548

Sinasabi po dito na ang kanilang agency budget nasa 36 billion at ang GAD budget allocation ay 30.2 billion.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010549

Ibig sabihin, nasa 83% ng budget ng DOLE, integrated ang GAD.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010550

Ito po bang figures na ito ay may review, ang PCW, ang compliant po ba lahat ng mga programa TAG as utilized for the gender and development mandate?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010551

Yes, may review and may OV din po yan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010552

May means of verification.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010553

Alright.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010554

Mr. Speaker.

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010555

And may department rin kasi for women's, may Bureau of Women's, and actually maraming po talagang batas, ILO, Convention, and matagal na po silang, and number two na rin po sila nung panahon ni FVR.

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010556

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010557

Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010558

At kasama rin po dito halimbawa,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010559

isa po sa mga top performing, number five po ang Philippine Army, na nag-record ng 15.37%.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010560

At sa diskusyon po kagabi, dito sa plenaryo, na alam ko po ang PCW yung nag-e-endorse,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010561

na dapat po endorse ninyo yung mga GAD plan and budget ng iba't-ibang mga agencies.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010562

Ang sabi po nila, isa sa mga activities na parte ng kanilang GAD.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010563

GAD plan ay ang pagkakaroon po ng Men's Rights Seminar.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010564

Tama po ba? Inendorse po ba ito ng PCW?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010565

Men's, just for clarification, Men's Rights?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010566

Yes.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010567

Inendorse ng PCW?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010568

Yes.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010569

I was asking, Mr. Speaker, if the PCW endorsed this particular seminar as part of the GAD plan and budget of the DND.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010570

So, can we verify, we don't remember if may endorsement po ang PCW?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010571

Kasi kababayan po yung tinututukan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010572

So, can we just get back to that, Madam Speaker, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010573

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010574

Isang ayon sa advisory ng PCW tungkol sa utilization ng GAD fund.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010575

Pag sinabi po natin ang gender and development, hindi lang po ito tungkol, siyempre, sa mga kababaihan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010576

Pero tungkol po ito sa pagiging pantay ng mga kasarian, babae, lalaki, gender diverse people,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010577

equal rights, equal opportunities, equal access to services.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010578

Yun po ang nais natin na magawa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010579

Kaya po, asa ngayon po ba hindi ma-confirm ng PCW kung ang particular seminar na ito ay mayroong endorsement mula sa kanila?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010580

Can we get the details of when was the seminar?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010581

Ano yung particular ng seminar?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010582

So that we can answer appropriately.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010583

But, totoo po na PCW supports equal rights, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010584

Women and men.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010585

But it's usually, doon lang po yung aking kasagutan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010586

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010587

Mr. Sponsor, sa totoo lang po, nag-react po ako dito sa naulat sa atin.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010588

Ang paggamit ng GAD budget para dito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010589

Dahil nag-a-advance yung ganitong tipo ng movement, na hindi ko na po gusto sabihin,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010590

ng zero-sum agenda.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010591

Zero-sum agenda pagdating sa gender equality.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010592

As if yung gains ng mga kababaihan sa pagtutulak ng pantay na karapatan ay kawalan ng ibang kasarian.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010593

Na hindi naman po ganun, diba?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010594

ang tinutulak

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010595

natin pagdating sa gender equality.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010596

Pag sinabi natin na gender equality, pantay na karapatang pantao.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010597

Pantay na access, pantay na opportunities.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010598

At sa tingin ko po, dapat ma-review ito mabuti ng PCW.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010599

Na hindi po natin papayagan ang kahit anong tipo ng amplification, ng backlash sa women's movement.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010600

Ngayon pa lang po, napaka-alaki na ng paniningil.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010601

Para bang yung kababaihan pa po ang may kasalanan na kung bakit sinasabi nila na meron pang hindi pantay na mga karapatan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010602

Samantalang, ang dahilan naman po kung bakit may particular attention tayo sa women's rights,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010603

sa access ng women sa iba't ibang services.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010604

Dahil sa karapatan pa lang sa pagboto.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010605

No, 1937 pa lang natin nakuha yung pantay na karapatan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010606

Dito sa kapulungan na ito sa kongreso, 1941 lang.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010607

Unang nagkaroon na representative na babae.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010608

Kaya po, ibig sabihin, marami tayong mga batas, marami tayong mga panukala.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010609

Ang wala pong benepisyon ng perspektiba ng mga kababaihan sa pagpapatupad.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010610

Yan nga pong dahilan kung bakit ang PCW, meron din silang sinusulong na women's priority legislative agenda.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010611

Para po, yung mga nakikita natin, mga discriminatory pa, ng mga probisyon sa ating mga batas, ay tuluyan na natin maibasura.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010612

Kaya po, nananawagan ako, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor sa PCW,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010613

sana naman po yung ating mga i-endorso ng mga GAD plan and budget.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010614

Matiyak po natin na kada seminar, kada activity, kada proyekto dyan,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010615

ay tunay na magsusulong po ng pantay na karapatan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010616

Hindi lang po ng babae, ng lahat, ng Pilipino.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010617

Nabanggit ko po ito dahil I'm concerning na maliit na nga po ang budget ng PCW, lalo pang niliitan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010618

Meron pong 13% budget cut ang PCW, lalong-lalo na sa kanilang programa para sa planning, management, and monitoring

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010619

ng gender mainstreaming rules sa ilalim ng Magna Carta of Women.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010620

Meron ding malaking kaltas ang provision ng technical assistance, advisory, at capacity building on gender and development.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010621

Ibig sabihin, yung pinaka ginagawa po ng PCW para matiyak na talagang compliant ang lahat po ng agency

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010622

sa integration, hindi separation ng GAD budget.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010623

Yun po kasing nakita nating trend pa rin ngayon sa mga agencies na parang laging hiwalay yung GAD budget

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010624

imbis na integrated sa kanilang mga mayor na programa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010625

Nananawagan po tayo na ibalik sa 2026 level yung pondo para sa mga nasabing programa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010626

at kung hindi man, mataasan pa po kahit po kaunti, augmentation para sa mahalagang ginagawa ng ating mga policy making bodies

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010627

ng PCW, nandito rin po ang NYC, at mga kasamahan po natin na magiging gabay para sa grounded na policy making,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010628

decision making dito man sa Kongreso at maski po sa lokal na mga konseho natin.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010629

Ngayon naman, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, nais kong magtanong tungkol sa kalagayan ng mga public markets.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010630

Nabanggit ko na rin po ito noong budget briefing.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010631

Nagtanong po ako, meron po bang monitoring ang DILG tungkol sa mga fees na sinisingil sa market vendors sa iba't ibang LGU?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010632

Meron po ba tayo ngayong mekanismo para tiyakin na wala pong exorbitant, excessive, or redundant fees na sinisingil sa mga LGU

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010633

pagdating po sa pagtatakda ng iba't ibang mga binabayaran sa mga pampublikong palengke sa ating bansa?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010634

Halimbawa na lang, Ginoong Speaker, mula po sa aming consultation among market vendors sa San Andres Market,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010635

sinabi po nila na 169 pesos kada araw ang renta mula 60 pesos lang noong 2016.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010636

Nandyan din po sa Santa Ana Market na tumaas ang kanilang renta from 35 pesos to 120 pesos kada araw.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010637

Ganun din po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010638

Yung patong-patong na fees, isa-isahin ko lang po mula po sa binabayaran na nila sa mga business permit.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010639

Nandyan din po ang ating fire safety inspection certificate fee, my health certificate fee, utilities fee, garbage fee, developer fee, annual contract renewal fees.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010640

Nakaka... hindi naman po nakakagulag pero nakaka... lungkot na malaman na ang makaka...

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010641

mga market vendors po natin, hindi naman po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010642

yan yung mga malalaking negosyo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010643

Kaya nung nalaman po natin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010644

na patong-patong po pala yung fees

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010645

na kanilang mga binabayaran.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010646

Nais po natin malaman kung ano po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010647

yung ginagawa ng DILG

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010648

sa kanila pong mandato ng general supervision

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010649

para matiyak na yung kapangyarihan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010650

ng ating LGU, yung kanilang local

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010651

autonomy sa determination ng ganitong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010652

mga fees ng market administration

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010653

ay atin pong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010654

natitiyak na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010655

hindi po sumasobra sa kanilang kapangyarihan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010656

Yes, Madam

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010657

Speaker, I totally understand

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010658

where you're coming from, but

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010659

ang mandato po ng DILG

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010660

is supervision over

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010661

the LGUs. Alam naman natin may

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010662

autonomy po sila, but

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010663

they have to, as long as they

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010664

follow the process, as long

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010665

as na pasa

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010666

po yung tax ordinance,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010667

nagkaroon po ng public consultation,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010668

so these are the processes

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010669

na kailangan po.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010670

Bago po tayo magpataw na

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010671

makaragdagan ng mga buwis,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010672

but hanggang doon lang po yung

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010673

limitasyon ng DILG

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010674

is to supervise, because we respect

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010675

the autonomy also of our

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010676

local government units.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010677

Basta as long as it's not

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010678

abusive, they follow the process,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010679

yun lang po ang ginagawa

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-010680

ng sangay ng DILG.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010681

Mr. Speaker, paano po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010682

ang inyong mekanismo para sa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010683

monitoring pagdating dyan?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010684

Meron po ba tayong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-010685

redress?
