Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

00:13:52Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

that the information

00:13:53Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000236

remains

00:13:54Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000238

What has the

00:14:00Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000240

reports and what lessons

00:14:02Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000241

asr-000242

00:14:21Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000244

Mr. Speaker,

00:14:22Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000245

there was no permanent

00:14:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

00:14:26Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000247

00:14:27Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000247-split-2

There was no permanent

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

00:14:29Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000248-split-2

Okay.

00:14:30Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000249

So my follow-up question, without

00:14:32Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000250

disclosing sensitive coverage

00:14:34Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000251

or deployment details, what

00:14:36Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000252

limits the department's

00:14:38Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000253

ability to verify significant

00:14:40Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000254

maritime developments

00:14:42Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000255

promptly?

00:15:04Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000257

Mr. Speaker, there are several factors to be considered, but mainly it's the accuracy of the information.

00:15:11Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000258

What's that again?

00:15:12Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000259

The accuracy of the information, Mr. Speaker.

00:15:18Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000260

Okay.

00:15:19Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000261

My next question, does the proposed budget address those constraints through better information sharing,

00:15:26Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000262

additional operating resources, or new surveillance capabilities?

00:15:32Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000263

Capabilities.

00:15:53Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000264

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

00:15:55Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000265

The idea is that...

00:15:56Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000266

It's a stepping stone.

00:15:58Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000267

We want a gradual increase in operations as well.

00:16:08Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000268

As far as your surveillance capabilities, Mr. Speaker?

00:16:10Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000269

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

00:16:11Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000270

How are the information expenditure requirements coordinated with the Philippine Coast Guard and other relevant agencies?

00:16:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000271

There is real-time coordination information.

00:16:26Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000272

So, you mean the coordination between the Philippine Coast Guard and other relevant agencies required expenditure and sharing of information.

00:16:40Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000273

So, paano nyo ginagawa yun?

00:16:44Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000274

The department has fusion centers.

00:16:48Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000275

What's that?

00:16:49Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000276

Fusion centers, Mr. Speaker.

00:16:51Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000277

Okay.

00:16:51Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000278

Then, my follow-up question.

00:16:54Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000279

What improvements should Filipino fishermen...

00:16:56Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000280

and civilian maritime personnel expect in case of emergency?

00:17:03Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000281

Communication assistance and coordination during incidents at sea?

00:17:09Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000282

So, ano pong inaasaan ng ating mga fishermen in case na, as we know,

00:17:14Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000283

lagi natin napapanood, laging may aksidente niyan?

00:17:17Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000284

Okay.

00:17:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000285

The Coast Guard is increasing its fleet. It is also coordinating with the Philippines with regard to increasing the fleet capacity.

00:17:37Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000286

So, does the fisherman, inaalalayan ba sila ng ating mga Coast Guard pag sila'y nasa laot?

00:17:46Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000364

Are they being given instruction or advice where to go, where to do their fishing?

00:17:55Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000365

Pag nangingisda sila, mayroon ba tayong sinusunod na or area kung saan sila pwede maghanap buhay?

00:18:05Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000366

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

00:18:06Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000367

The Coast Guard and the BFAR, there is also assistance for fuel.

00:18:12Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000368

Then, my next question, balikatan exercises.

00:18:16Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000369

Defense benefits, costs, and management of regional tension.

00:18:20Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000370

The Philippines has broadened its joint military activities with defense partners,

00:18:27Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000371

including the United States, Japan, France.

00:18:30Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000372

Balikatan 2026 included activities in Itbayat, Batanes, near Taiwan, and drew criticism from China.

00:18:39Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000373

Question: What specific defense objectives do these exercises seek to achieve?

00:19:16Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000382

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

00:19:17Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000383

The objective really is terrain awareness.

00:19:21Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000384

The idea of the department is a whole 360 terrain awareness.

00:19:27Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000385

So, all of the exercises, air exercises, land exercises, are in pursuit of that objective of terrain awareness.

00:19:35Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000386

So, it's basically acclimatizing our troops towards the terrain.

00:19:42Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000387

Another objective also is to introduce our troops to new types of defense.

00:19:46Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000388

Types of weaponry and machinery.

00:19:48Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000389

So, in short, we do this exercise through awareness.

00:19:55Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000390

Ito yung gusto natin malaman.

00:19:57Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000391

At the same time, siguro para matrain din ang ating mga sandatang lakas.

00:20:03Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000392

My question, do China think this balikatan exercise as an aggressive toward them?

00:20:40Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000393

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

00:20:48Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000417

Given the scale of the operations, there won't be any reason for it to be treated as aggression.

00:20:52Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000418

At least that is the stance of the department.

00:20:56Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000419

Then again, all of these joint activities are somewhat construed as provocative given its objective.

00:21:06Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000420

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor.

00:21:09Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000421

What measurable improvements in the armed forces' capabilities have resulted from previous exercises?

00:21:18Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000422

Did we gain anything from the Balikatan exercises as far as our armed forces is concerned?

00:21:39Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000423

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

00:21:47Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000424

Actually, one of the successes of the Balikatan exercises is that the experience of those exercises enabled the Philippines to lead a 40-fighter strike in Australia.

00:22:00Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000425

So, it just shows the increase in the capabilities of our troops because of these Balikatan exercises.

00:22:06Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000426

Okay.

00:22:07Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000427

Last question for this particular department.

00:22:09Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000428

Balikatan exercises, and I move to the other topic.

00:22:12Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000429

What measures are in place to prevent miscalculation and manage regional tensions while preserving the Philippines' independent defense decision?

00:22:32Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000430

Mr. Speaker, it's strict adherence to UNCLOS and international law.

00:22:37Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000431

UNCLOS.

00:22:39Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000432

And I'll move to my next topic, Mr. Speaker.

00:22:43Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000433

This regards the drone expansion, artificial intelligence, and secure systems.

00:22:50Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000434

August 25, 2026, Budget Hearing Secretary Teodoro discussed expanding the military's unmanned capabilities.

00:22:59Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000435

He emphasized that effective use requires operational integration, secure communication, and supporting networks,

00:23:09Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000436

not simply the acquisition of more drones.

00:23:13Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000437

Question.

00:23:14Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000438

How does proposed 2027 budget ensure that drone acquisitions are accompanied by the systems and trained personnel needed to use them effectively?

00:23:47Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000441

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

00:23:48Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000442

So, these integration systems are being introduced in this particular budget.

00:23:55Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000443

This would be under C4ISTAR, so Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance,

00:24:04Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000444

which is one of the core pillars of the comprehensive archipelagic defense concept.

00:24:09Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000445

Do you know how, Mr. Speaker, do you know how, and District Sponsor, do you know how much the budget for these drones?

00:24:34Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000446

For the fiscal year 2027 proposed budget,

00:24:39Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000447

Mr. Speaker, it's the funding of the governance systems first before,

00:24:43Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000448

the governance systems for the drones before we actually use the drones.

00:24:47Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000449

So, we need to fund the governance systems first.

00:24:52Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000450

Does the department use artificial intelligence models to process imagery,

00:25:00Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000451

identify unusual activity, or prioritize information for human analysts?

00:25:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000452

The department cannot disclose.

00:25:29Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000453

Come again?

00:25:30Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000454

The department cannot disclose.

00:25:32Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000455

Cannot?

00:25:33Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000456

Disclose.

00:25:33Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000457

Okay.

00:25:35Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000458

Fair enough.

00:25:38Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000459

Next question.

00:25:39Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000460

Would additional funding produce greater benefits if directed toward analytical personnel, communications, and maintenance rather than additional equipment alone?

00:25:52Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000461

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

00:25:53Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000462

Okay. Thank you.

00:25:54Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000463

Now, I move to another topic.

00:25:56Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000464

Expanded defense partnerships and their budgetary requirements.

00:26:01Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000465

The Philippines and France signed a visiting forces agreement in March 2026.

00:26:07Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000466

The proposed performance documents,

00:26:09Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000467

the target for bilateral and multilateral engagement also rises from 159 in 2026 to 242 in 2027.

00:26:19Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000468

Question.

00:26:20Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000469

What capability gains justify the proposed increase in bilateral and multilateral engagement?

00:27:47Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000485

Yes, Mr. Speaker. There are classified capability changes that the department is already observing with regard to our capabilities and defense posture. That would justify the increase of the targets of our bilateral and multilateral partnerships with other government partners.

00:28:14Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000486

Thank you. Next, I have only three last questions, three questions. What arrangements determine which costs are borne by the Philippines and which are borne by partner countries?

00:29:08Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000489

The general rule is, if it's an expense incurred of our troops, of our machinery, then that's our counterpart cost.

00:29:18Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000490

Whereas, those that involve the troops and the machinery of counterparts, then the counterparts bear that cost.

00:29:27Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000491

So, in short, what's the proposition? Kanya-kanya sila?

00:29:30Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000492

Yes.

00:29:30Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000493

Most likely, it's a 50-50 proposition. Fair enough. Thank you.

00:29:35Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000494

Next, how does the department assess?

00:29:37Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000495

Whether participation improves operational proficiency or interoperability?

00:29:50Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000496

Yes, every exercise, Mr. Speaker, is scored. There is an assessment with regards to indicators.

00:30:00Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000497

For my last question, which recently completed defense initiative has produced the clearest measurable improvement relative to its cost and what made it successful?

00:30:45Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000498

Mr. Speaker, the department says it's Exercise Pitch Black, which was conducted in Australia.

00:30:54Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000498-split-2

Exercise what?

00:30:55Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000498-split-3

Pitch Black. Pitch Black.

00:31:01Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000499

In Australia.

00:31:02Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000500

Okay. Again, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, I support the budget of Department of National Defense and to the ND family, thank you for your service. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.

00:31:17Source

Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong

asr-000501

Leader.

00:31:19Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-000502

Mr. Speaker, I move to recognize the Honorable Sarah Jane Elago of Partylist Gabriela Women's Party for her interpellation.

00:31:28Source

Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong

asr-000503

Honorable Sarah Jane.

00:31:30Source

Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong

asr-000504

Elago is recognized. Please proceed.

00:31:34Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000505

Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker.

00:31:38Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000506

Una tungkol sa tatag ng infrastruktura para sa kapayapaan at siguridad projects o mga tikas projects.

00:31:47Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000507

Mula taong 2019 hanggang 2025, may total budget ang tikas program, ang convergence program ng DND at DPWH na P38.03 billion.

00:32:00Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000508

Mula 2019 hanggang end of 2025, ilan na nga ba talaga ang total approved tikas projects?

00:32:09Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000509

Ilan dito ang complete, ongoing, delayed, unusable, suspended, at magsisimula pa lang?

00:32:17Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000510

Ang mga katanungan po na ito ay naitanong na rin natin noong budget briefing, ngunit hindi po tayo nakakuha noong detalyado na status report na kada proyekto.

00:32:30Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000511

At medyo nalito pa po tayo dahil magkakaiba po yung bilang ng proyekto na naibigay po sa representasyon na ito.

00:32:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000512

Una, noong October 8, 2025, sang-ayon po kay DND Secretary Chodoro sa isang news report, sinabi na may 944 approved projects mula 2019 at 648 projects dito ang kumpleto na.

00:33:02Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000513

Ngunit sa pareho, ayon naman kay AFP Chief of Staff Brawner, from 2019 to 2025, ang TIKAS po ay may 927 approved infrastructure projects, samantalang 663 ang completed at meron pang 139 na ongoing.

00:33:28Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000514

Nakuha natin na submission mula sa Department of National Defense. Mula 2021 hanggang 2026, ang Philippine Army may 472 TICAS projects worth 14.496 billion. At para naman sa Philippine Air Force, mula taong 2019 hanggang 2025, meron pong 159 projects worth 4.806 billion.

00:33:57Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000515

Yung bilang po na nakuha natin mula sa 2021 hanggang 2026 sa Philippine Army at mula sa 2019 hanggang 2025 ay hindi po nagtutugma dun sa 900 plus approved projects na unang nabalita mula noong nakaraang taon.

00:34:17Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000516

Maari po ba itong maipaliwanag ng ating distinguished sponsor? At kung maaari po makapagbigay kayo ng ano po ba talaga yung datos?

00:34:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Pagdating sa mga proyektong ito.

00:34:29Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000518

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For the TIKAS program, if I may enumerate: for the Philippine Army from 2021 to 2026, the number of projects is 413. That is the total number of projects, 413. For the Philippine Air Force from 2019 to 2025, it is 159 projects. For the Philippine Navy from 2019 to 2025, it is 117 projects. And then the GHQ proper from 2020 to 2026 is 233 projects. So that totals to 922 total projects.

00:35:23Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000519

With regards to completion,

00:35:26Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000520

For those that have been completed, for the Philippine Army, it's 273 completed projects.

00:35:36Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000521

For the Philippine Air Force, it's 133 completed projects.

00:35:43Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000522

The Philippine Navy, 91 completed projects.

00:35:48Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000523

GHQ proper, 12 completed.

00:35:51Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000524

So that's a total of 509 projects.

00:35:56Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000525

Mr. Speaker, saan po nanggagaling yung nasa 400 plus na unaccounted dun po sa naiulat ninyo?

00:36:08Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000526

Kasi ang sabi po noong October 2025, 944 po yung total na bilang ng approved projects.

00:36:16Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000527

At mangingila lang po ako ng detalya nito.

00:36:21Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000528

Pwede po ba natin kunin ang commitment ng ating distinguished sponsor, ang DND, pagdating po?

00:36:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000529

Sa report mismo.

00:36:28Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000530

Kasi gusto po natin makita saan ba yung lakasyon, saan ba napunta yung pondo,

00:36:33Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000531

natapos na ba talaga ang mga infrastruktura,

00:36:37Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000532

upang matiyak natin na ang pondo po ng ating bayan ay napupunta talaga sa kung saan ito layon na magasta.

00:36:48Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000533

Ngayon po, yung nabanggit nyo ng mga completed na mga projects,

00:36:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000534

lahat ba ito may turnover documents na?

00:36:56Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000535

At lahat ba ito ay natayo sa mga lupa na meron ng titulo?

00:37:00Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000536

Thank you.

00:37:49Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000537

Mr. Speaker, tumatakbo ang aking oras. May I pause habang naghihintay sa ating distinguished sponsor?

00:37:56Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000538

At yung ating distinguished sponsor.

00:38:03Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000539

Mr. Speaker, well, first, just to address the number.

00:38:13Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000540

Ito po kasing number 922, ito po yung completed.

00:38:18Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000541

But meron kasi tayo ng mga projects na designed.

00:38:26Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000542

Depende kasi yun dun sa design.

00:38:28Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000543

So minsan nagkakaproblema po tayo dun.

00:38:30Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000544

Kaya po, hindi po siya nako-complete.

00:38:34Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000545

Kasi besides na iba yung disenyo, minsan po yung lupa may dispute.

00:38:40Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000546

Minsan din po may facing.

00:38:42Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000547

So yung binention ko po na 509 na completed projects,

00:38:48Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000548

completed po siya kasi yun po talaga yung na-turnover na proper documentation and all that.

00:38:55Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000549

But,

00:38:56Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000550

yung rest po, yung differential na yung 122 at saka ng 509,

00:39:01Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000551

may facing po kasi talaga siya.

00:39:04Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000552

Gusto rin pong sabihin ng departamento na

00:39:07Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000553

ang implementing agency po ng TCAS ay ang DPWH.

00:39:13Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000554

So, kung may mga ganito pong mga katanungan in terms of

00:39:18Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000555

ano yung rason for the delays,

00:39:22Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000556

DPWH po ang mapapagtanungan natin ng mga konserwasyon.

00:39:26Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000557

Or na yun.

00:39:28Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000558

Mister Speaker, hindi po ba kasaba ang DND sa nag-issue ng Joint Memorandum Circular No. 44,

00:39:36Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000559

series of 2024?

00:39:38Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000560

Maari po ba itong balikan ng ating Distinguished Sponsor at ng ating departamento?

00:39:43Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000561

Anong sinasabi dyan na obligation po ng DND pagdating sa monitoring at evaluation

00:39:50Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000562

ng mga proyekto sa ilalim ng TCAS program?

00:40:26Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000564

Yes, Mr. Speaker. As of now, with regards to those that have been the ongoing projects from the time before 2025, continuing pa po yung validation of these projects.

00:40:51Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000565

Nag-conduct po ng validation and assessment din ang Department of National Defense.

00:40:56Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000566

In terms of kamusta yung mga structure.

00:40:59Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000567

But yung implementing agency po talaga kasi ay DPWH.

00:41:05Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000568

So, pero on the part of the DND, we are assured na kung meron mang delays po doon sa implementation ng itong mga TICAS projects, ay nag-a-assess din po on-site ang DND.

00:41:21Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000569

Meron na po bang risulta ang inyong mga initial assessment?

00:41:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000570

May ginawa?

00:41:27Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000571

Halimbawa, Mr. Speaker, nabanggit din po noong budget briefing na meron po for 2026, 27 non-implementable at may 51 na implementable pa na proyekto sa ilalim ng TICAS program.

00:41:46Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000572

Ano po ba ang ibig sabihin ng binanggit na non-implementable?

00:41:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000573

Ibig sabihin po ba may mga limitations?

00:41:56Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000574

sa paggamit ng budget? May mga, meron ba ang factor ng impossibility

00:42:04Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000575

dahil sa mga problema halimbawa sa lupa na katulad ng nabanggit

00:42:08Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000576

ng ating distinguished sponsor? May update po ba kayo kung nagbago na

00:42:13Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000577

ang mga bilang na ito ng mga implementable at non-implementable?

00:42:17Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000578

Yes, Mr. Speaker. Based on official data, ang terminated or suspended

00:42:26Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000579

po na projects, one of the factors being may problema sa lupa, is 43.

00:42:36Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000580

43 projects. With regards to updates as to even those ongoing projects

00:42:44Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000581

na might be terminated because of disputes in land

00:42:46Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000582

and other problems with implementation.

00:42:49Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000583

implementation. Again, the DND cannot give information on it given that

00:42:56Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000584

the implementing agency would be the DPWH.

00:43:00Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000585

Mr. Speaker, mahirap po na ganyan po ang kasagutan sa atin.

00:43:04Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000586

Dahil malinaw po sa DND-DPWH Joint Memorandum Circular No. 44,

00:43:10Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000587

Series of 2024, na may tatlo pong mahalaga na obligation dito ang DND.

00:43:16Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000588

Unang-una, lahat ng potential military infrastructure projects ay magmumula

00:43:23Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000589

sa DND AFP units. Pangalawa, DND Secretary ang mag-e-endorse ng validated,

00:43:31Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000590

evaluated, at prioritized list ng TICAS projects sa DPWH Secretary.

00:43:37Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000591

At pangatlo, at pinakamahalaga, Mr. Speaker, may obligasyon ang DND representative

00:43:44Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000592

sa Joint Project Monitoring and

00:43:47Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000593

Supervising Team na mag-observe ng conduct ng procurement activities, mag-monitor ng project progress, mag-resolve ng issues habang ini-implement ang projects at magsumite ng monthly accomplishment reports.

00:44:08Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000594

Ito po yung dahilan kung bakit hinihingi natin sa DND mismo yung lagay, yung status ng mga proyektong ito, dahil hindi naman po biro yung ₱38 billion. Mas mataas pa po yan sa buong budget ng DOST para sa susunod na taon. Kaya napakahalaga ng bawat piso na ginagastos sa mga proyektong ito. Ngayon naman, hihintayin po natin yung detalyadong status report na may kinalaman dito sa TIKAS program.

00:44:46Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000595

Ngunit hayaan niyo po akong dumiretso sa naging sagot sa atin para sa TIKAS sa susunod na taon, for fiscal year 2027.

00:44:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000596

Ang sinasabi po ay walang TIKAS project para sa 2027. Tama po ba?

00:45:07Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000597

Wala na po. Wala na pong TIKAS projects for 2027 as per the DND. Opo.

00:45:12Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000598

Ngunit napansin din po ng representasyon na ito na may mga proyekto po sa ilalim ng DPWH,

00:45:19Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000599

sa ilalim po ng Basic Infrastructure Program o BIP na nakalista sa ilalim ng TICAS program noong taong 2024 at 2025.

00:45:30Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000600

Ibig sabihin po, project na po siya sa 2024 at 2025.

00:45:34Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000601

Pero nagulat po kami na nalista po ulit sa BIP para sa taong 2027.

00:45:42Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000602

Noong tinignan po namin yung mga projects na ito sa DPWH website, napansin po namin na meron po dito expired na ang contracts.

00:45:51Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000603

Pero hindi pa nagsisimula o ongoing pa lang ang proyekto.

00:45:56Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000604

May mga proyekto din po na lagpas na sa project costs.

00:45:59Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000605

Ang nailaan na budget.

00:46:01Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000606

Halimbawa na lang, Mr. Speaker, sa Region 3 po.

00:46:06Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000607

Construction ng multi-purpose building, two-story unit barracks at boot camp, two area sa San Antonio, Zambales.

00:46:15Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000608

Ang contract cost po ay 56.91 million.

00:46:18Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000609

Habang 60 million pesos ang nakalaan sa ilalim ng 2024 GAA.

00:46:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000610

O baga may sobra pa pong konting million.

00:46:28Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000611

At may daan.

00:46:29Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000612

May dagdag na 6.5 million pesos sa ilalim ng 2027 NEP.

00:46:35Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000613

Ibig sabihin po, nalista na sa 2024 tapos may dagdag po na 6.5 million pesos sa 2027 NEP.

00:46:45Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000614

Nagsimula po ang proyekto noong September 2024 at ang kontrata expired na ng July 2025.

00:46:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000615

Gayunman, ang sabi po dito sa DPWH website tungkol sa project,

00:46:59Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000616

na ito, 66.81% pa lang po ang physical accomplishment.

00:47:05Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000617

Gayun din, tungkol naman po sa rehabilitation ng multi-purpose building,

00:47:12Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000618

two units, six-door, married personal quarters, flat house, sa parehong lugar po.

00:47:18Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000619

Ang contract cost ay 28.67 million pesos, habang 30 million pesos ang nasa 2025 na manag-AA.

00:47:27Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000620

At may dagdag po itong

00:47:28Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000621

25 million sa 2027 NEP.

00:47:34Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000622

Hanggang ngayon po, 0% po ang nakareflex sa DPWH website na accomplishment ng proyekto na ito.

00:47:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000623

Bakit po ba hindi natatapos ang mga proyekto sa loob ng naitakda na contract period?

00:47:47Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000624

At bakit po ba kailangan magkaroon ng dagdag na budget?

00:47:51Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000625

Sino po ba yung nag-assess?

00:47:52Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000626

Sino po yung nag-submit sa DPWH ng mga proyekto na ito?

00:47:57Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000627

Na napondohan na dati sa ilalim ng 2027 NEP.

00:47:59Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000628

Na napondohan na dati sa ilalim ng TICAS, hindi natapos, may dagdag na naman po tayo para sa 2027,

00:48:07Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000629

na malinaw po sa item na TICAS pa rin.

00:48:10Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000630

So hindi po totoo na wala pong TICAS program, maaari po hindi na TICAS po yung tawag,

00:48:18Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000631

dahil ang sabi nga sa atin ng DPWH, nagkaroon na po sila ng consolidation ng mga infrastructure program.

00:48:25Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000632

So hindi man ito TICAS, pero nakita po natin na pareho,

00:48:29Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000633

yung line item na nakasulat po sa mga taon na ito.

00:48:37Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000634

Mr. Speaker, the Department takes note of these concerns and will review.

00:48:48Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000635

If the distinguished colleague can also furnish us a copy of these details so we can review.

00:48:55Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000636

But for fiscal year 2027, the Department confirms that no TICAS projects have been submitted.

00:49:03Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000637

There's no list of any projects under the TICAS program.

00:49:07Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000638

Ay, sige po.

00:49:09Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000639

Ngayon, Mr. Speaker, ang nakakabahala po dito, kasi po ang sagot po sa atin ng DND noong budget briefing,

00:49:16Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000640

ay magtanong po tayo sa DPWH.

00:49:18Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000641

Nung nagtanong po tayo sa DPWH,

00:49:22Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000642

ah,

00:49:23Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000643

gusto ko pa,

00:49:24Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000644

sanang sabihin,

00:49:25Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000645

na nagulat po ako,

00:49:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000646

pero medyo hindi po ako nagulat doon sa sagot sa akin na wala rin pong update

00:49:31Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000647

tungkol dito sa monitoring, evaluation,

00:49:36Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000648

at pagchecheck ng bilyon-bilyon na pondo para po sa TICAS program.

00:49:44Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000649

At ang banggit po noon ni Secretary Dizon,

00:49:47Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000650

ay nung panahon na yun na chinecheck po natin itong TICAS program,

00:49:51Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000651

ay kakalagay niya lang din po sa DPWH.

00:49:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000652

At nagbigay naman po,

00:49:55Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000653

ng commitment na iimbestigahan at titignan ang proyekto na ito.

00:49:59Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000654

At yan din po ang aasahan natin na maitanong pagbalik ng DPWH dito sa plenaryo.

00:50:06Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000655

Pero dahil inunote na rin po ng ating distinguished sponsor at ng DND ang ating concern tungkol dito,

00:50:13Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000656

napansin po namin na ang T2B3 Builders and Supplies Corporation

00:50:18Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000657

ay kabilang po sa contractors na nakuha sa mga TICAS projects.

00:50:23Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000658

Nakakuha rin po ito ng maraming government, infrastructure contracts,

00:50:28Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000659

kabilang na po ang mga flood control projects.

00:50:33Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000660

Sa TICAS project, halimbawa po,

00:50:38Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000661

sa isa pong proyekto na T2B3 Builders and Supplies Corporation ang contractor,

00:50:44Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000662

meron po silang isang proyekto na 66.81% lang po ang accomplishment

00:50:49Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000663

kahit nag-expire na ang kontrata noong July 17, 2020.

00:50:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000664

At hanggang ngayon, nakalista pa rin ang ongoing project.

00:50:58Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000665

Hindi po ba ito malinaw na red flag sa tingin po ng ating distinguished sponsor?

00:51:03Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000666

At dahil po sa ganitong issue, dapat, hindi na po talaga tayo maghintay pa ng isang taon,

00:51:12Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000667

agad-agad, kinakailangan po talagang imbestigahan ang ganitong tipo po ng mga gawain.

00:51:18Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000668

At yung isa pong contractor na na-flag na for flood control projects,

00:51:23Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000669

isa rin po sa mga hindi nakakatapos ng proyekto sa ilalim ng TICAS program.

00:51:32Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000670

Meron po ba tayong marinig na posisyon dito ng ating distinguished sponsor?

00:51:39Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000671

Isa rin po kasi sa hiningi nating detalya ng budget briefing kung sino po yung mga contractor dun sa mga TICAS program.

00:51:47Source

asr-000672

Kasi hindi po natin gusto maulit yung nangyari sa flood control.

00:51:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000673

Na marami pong mga proyekto, ang kala po natin at inaasahan natin makatulong sa ating bayan,

00:52:00Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000674

pero hindi naman po natatapos.

00:52:20Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000675

The department, Mr. Speaker,

00:52:23Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000676

will raise it with the DPWH.

00:52:25Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000677

It takes note of the concern given that it's the DPWH that was involved with the awarding process.

00:52:33Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000678

Yes, mainam.

00:52:34Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000679

Mr. Speaker, talagang sa lalong madaling panahon, magkaroon po dito ng imbestigasyon,

00:52:40Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000680

makasuhan ang dapat makasuhan, may habulin tayo kung may dapat mapanagot,

00:52:45Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000681

at matiyak po natin na yung bilyong-bilyong pondo ay nailalagay para dun sa kadyang layunin.

00:52:51Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000682

At,

00:52:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000683

yung binanggit ko po kanina na nasa ilalim ng BIP, hindi pa po yun lahat.

00:52:58Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000684

Kasi, nasa libo po yung nasa ilalim ng Basic Infrastructure Program.

00:53:02Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000685

Dati po kasi, Mr. Speaker, di ba, nakahati yan per department.

00:53:06Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000686

Kung sino yung mga kapartner po nila ng mga agencies.

00:53:09Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000687

Halimbawa, ang Department of Tourism, dati merong Tourism Road Infrastructure Project.

00:53:14Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000688

Ganon din po sa DND, merong ngayong TICAS.

00:53:17Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000689

Ngayon po kasi, halo-halo na.

00:53:19Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000690

Kaya, yung diligence, pagdating po sa pag-check ng kada isa,

00:53:23Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000691

ay naway, bigyan din po ng karampatang aksyon ng kapulungan na ito.

00:53:29Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000692

Ngayon naman, ginoong speaker, nais ko pong magtanong tungkol sa ginagastos po ng ating pamahalaan

00:53:35Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000693

para sa Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement.

00:53:42Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000694

Magkano na po ang nagastos ng EDCA, para sa EDCA, mula po nang ito ay mapirmahan?

00:53:53Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000695

Ang nakalagay lang po din sa budget for fiscal year 2027 would be yung regular camp expenses.

00:54:14Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000696

But, particularly for EDCA, wala po under the fiscal year 2027 proposed budget.

00:54:23Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000697

Maraming salamat, ginoong speaker.

00:54:25Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000698

At muli po, higin po natin yung breakdown ng mga expenses po na iyan.

00:54:31Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000699

Dahil, nababahala rin po tayo at matagal na rin po natin itong napaninindigan sa mga kababaihan,

00:54:39Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000700

sa Gabriela Women's Party.

00:54:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000701

Lalo na po ngayon, sa harap ng tumitinding tensyon sa iba't ibang panig ng mundo,

00:54:45Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000702

nadamang-daman ng Pilipinas ngayon, sumirit na naman yung presyo ng langis,

00:54:49Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000703

nararapat lang talaga na ang pamahalaan natin,

00:54:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000704

ay tumindig at mag-iit na para sa isang tunay na malaya at nagsasarili na patakarang panlabas.

00:55:00Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000705

Nagsasarili, independyente na patakarang panlabas.

00:55:04Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000706

Independent foreign policy na hindi po natin dapat basta-basta lang ipapagamit ang ating lupain,

00:55:11Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000707

mga daungan at maging ang mga sibilyang sasakyan dagat upang magsilbi po sa interest ng kahit sino mang mga dayuhan.

00:55:19Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000708

At ang kaugnay po nito,

00:55:23Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000709

sa mga fisherfolk na affected ng fishing ban dahil sa balikatang exercises,

00:55:29Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000710

nagtanong po ako sa BIFAR kung meron po silang specific line item para po sa pantulong sa ating affected fisherfolk.

00:55:37Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000711

Ang sabi po nila ay wala.

00:55:40Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000712

Maari po bang magbigay dito ng paglilinaw ang D&D?

00:55:43Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000713

Kung paano po natin, kumbaga, hindi lang tinutulungan eh, pero dapat nga po natin iwasan yung na maapektuhan,

00:55:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000714

po yung kabuhayan ng ating mga manging isda sa ganitong tipo ng mga exercises.

00:56:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000716

Mr. Speaker, for the interest of time, mahingina lang po tayo ng plano tungkol dito.

00:56:32Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000717

Kasi po, sa tingin ko po, ang hindi biro yung mga 3 to 5 days na hindi po nakakapangisda yung ating mga fisherfolk.

00:56:40Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000718

At nilirais po nila yung impact talaga.

00:56:43Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000719

Kabuhayan dun sa kanilang kita, yung lost income nila because of this fishing ban.

00:56:49Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000720

Ang mga manging isda po ang pinakamahirap na sektor.

00:56:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000721

Sa ating bansa, may pinakamataas na porsyento ng poverty incidence.

00:56:57Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000722

Kaya po, kada araw na affected yung kanilang kabuhayan ay malaki pong impact sa kanilang mga pamilya.

00:57:05Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000723

Ngayon naman ginoong speaker tungkol po sa GAD budget report ng Philippine Commission on Women para sa 2024.

00:57:12Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000724

Nakita po natin doon na mataas po ang percentage ng nagagamit ng DND para po sa gender and development.

00:57:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000725

Mataas po ang kanilang utilization para sa National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security.

00:57:32Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000726

Para sa taong 2024, noong naglabas po ng assessment ang PCW,

00:57:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000727

nasa 80.6%.

00:57:42Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000728

Ang percentage ng WPS na nagagamit ng diretsyo sa WPS-related activities, programs, and expenditure.

00:57:55Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000729

Ngayon din po, ang Philippine Army, ang panglima sa may pinakamataas na GAD budget allocation.

00:58:03Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000730

Nasa 15.37%.

00:58:06Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000731

Ang nakalagay lang po sa ating general provision, at least 5%.

00:58:10Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000732

Pero, nasa times 3 po.

00:58:12Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000733

So, 15.37%.

00:58:14Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000734

Maari po bang mabigay sa atin yung detalye?

00:58:17Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000735

Ano po ba yung mga particular projects at activities ng DND na may kinalaman sa Women, Peace, and Security?

00:58:25Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000736

At ano po yung mga klase ng activities na nakapaloob sa mga projects na ito?

00:58:35Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000737

At kung maari na rin pong isama ng ating distinguished sponsor,

00:58:39Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000738

isama na rin po sa kanyang UPS,

00:58:42Source

Oh, yes.

00:59:04Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000773

and attention sa women's rights.

01:01:30Source

asr-000774

Dahil sa ating kasaysayan, at magpasahangga ngayon,

01:01:36Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000775

yung prevalence, yung dami, yung lawak, yung tagal ng pagkamit ng justisya,

01:01:44Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000776

halimbawa ng nakakaranas ng iba't ibang forma ng pang-aabuso,

Hindi naman po kasi yan dapat iwalay.

So, bagamat nais po natin sa gender in development,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000810

Meron pong mga kaso ng VAUSI involving military personnel.

01:04:08Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Meron po bang especifico na palisiya ang AFP, ang ating D&D personnel,

Pwede bang malaman kung ano yung advisory, circular, o kung ano po yung order natin na may kinalaman dito?

01:04:26Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-000833

ang kopya ng palisiyan na yan.

01:05:45Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000834

Dahil sa PNP po, meron na rin po pala silang

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000835

separate na policy on handling

01:05:49Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

bousy cases. Kasi,

01:05:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000838

Meron po kayong authority, may kapangyarihan.

01:05:55Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000839

At hindi natin dapat payagan

01:05:56Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-000840

na yun pa yung mga hunguna.

01:05:59Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000996

I move on to my second line

01:11:06Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000997

of questioning for now.

01:11:08Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000998

This representation would like to confirm,

01:11:10Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000999

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

01:11:12Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001000

the answer of our

01:11:14Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001001

Secretary Gibo during the committee

01:11:16Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001002

hearings when we asked about

01:11:18Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001003

the current use of drones

01:11:20Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001004

in the Philippines.

01:11:22Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001005

At least when noong ito po'y

01:11:24Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001006

sinagot kami, they are

01:11:26Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001007

as reported,

01:11:28Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001008

all for surveillance use

01:11:30Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001009

and not for offensive purposes.

01:11:32Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001010

Is this still accurate as of this moment,

01:11:34Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001011

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

01:11:39Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001012

Yes, that's accurate, Mr. Speaker.

01:11:42Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001013

And drones are primarily

01:11:43Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001014

used for surveillance and not

01:11:44Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001015

for combat because of the lack of specific

01:11:46Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001016

guidelines as alleged

01:11:49Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001017

in our budget briefing. Is this

01:11:50Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001018

correct, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

01:11:52Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001019

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

01:11:54Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001020

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, akong kinukumpurima

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001021

po ng ahensya na ang

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

militar, that the military is not

01:12:00Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001023

capable of drone combat as of now

01:12:02Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001024

and there are no specific guidelines

01:12:04Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001025

regarding its use, can the agency

01:12:07Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001026

explain to this representation

01:12:08Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001027

about pictures and drones

01:12:10Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001028

circulating online, about

01:12:12Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001029

the usage of drones

Yes, Mr. Speaker,

01:12:43Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001038

the source of those drones

01:12:48Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001039

because as of now, the AFP

01:12:50Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001040

does not possess the capability to

01:12:52Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001056

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

01:13:26Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001057

would there be

01:13:27Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001058

an explanation from the AFP

01:13:29Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001059

regarding

01:13:30Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001060

this

01:13:33Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001061

video, this appearance

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001062

of a drone that is dropping

01:13:38Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001063

mortar rounds?

01:13:42Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001064

Mr. Speaker, the AFP

01:13:43Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001065

denies ownership

01:13:45Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001066

of the drone operations.

01:13:48Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001067

So the AFP

01:13:50Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001068

is denying that this

01:13:51Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001069

is a video

01:13:53Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001070

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001071

an operation

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001075

that happens

01:14:04Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001076

because of the

01:14:06Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001077

operation. So the AFP is denying

01:14:08Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001078

this, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

01:14:14Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001079

Yes, the AFP denies,

01:14:16Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001080

Mr. Speaker.

01:14:18Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001081

Mr. Speaker, let it be

01:14:20Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001082

on record that AFP has

01:14:22Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001083

denied the incident, but nonetheless,

01:14:24Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001084

as the

01:14:26Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001085

01:14:28Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001086

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001087

investigation is ongoing,

01:14:33Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001088

may I confirm that

01:14:34Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001096

The AFP

01:14:50Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001097

is aware, Mr.

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

of these drones.

01:15:00Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001102

operations that are being conducted

01:15:02Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001103

in their name, but again, the AFP

01:15:03Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001104

denies conducting

01:15:06Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001105

these said operations.

01:15:08Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001106

Mr. Speaker. Is the

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001110

or non-Philippine government agencies

01:15:18Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001111

may be behind

01:15:19Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001112

the use of this drone, like the

01:15:21Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001113

United States?

01:15:39Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001114

Yes, the department

01:15:40Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001115

is still conducting the investigations

01:15:43Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001116

as to the supposed

01:15:44Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001117

perpetrators of these

01:15:46Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001118

drone operations, Mr. Speaker.

01:15:49Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001119

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

01:15:53Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001120

We'd like to request

01:15:55Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001121

a copy of

01:15:56Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001122

the report of the investigation

01:15:59Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001123

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001125

nakikita nating

01:16:03Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001126

use of drones in combat zones.

01:16:08Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001127

Hindi naman po

01:16:09Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001128

ito siyempre simpleng

01:16:10Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001129

maaaring mak-procure lang ng kung sino.

01:16:14Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001130

Gusto natin we get to the

01:16:15Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001131

bottom of, as of now,

01:16:17Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001132

may policy or at least

01:16:19Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001133

may pagbubukas sa atin

01:16:21Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001134

na wala pang guidelines

01:16:23Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001135

sa paggamit ng drones. It's all for surveillance.

01:16:25Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001136

Wala pang pang combat. And here

01:16:27Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001137

comes a video na

01:16:28Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001138

our drones are being used for

01:16:31Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001139

combat. And by the way, Mr. Speaker, good

01:16:32Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001140

sponsor, on our research, it would

01:16:35Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001141

seem that the hardware

01:16:36Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001142

is Elbit Systems

01:16:38Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001143

Thor Mini Vertical Takeoff and

01:16:40Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001144

Landing Quadcopter.

01:16:43Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001145

We've noted it has also

01:16:44Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001146

been used by the United States

01:16:46Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001147

in their operations

01:16:48Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001148

against Palestine and Iran. So, Mr.

01:16:50Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001149

Speaker, good sponsor, whether there is

01:16:52Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001150

a confirmation from the department or not,

01:16:55Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001151

it's still troublesome that

01:16:56Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001152

we do not have access to after-action

01:16:58Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001153

reports of any military operations.

01:17:01Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001154

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, I'd like to

01:17:02Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001155

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001159

in Cotabato.

01:17:33Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001160

And by the way, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

01:17:35Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001161

I am holding

01:17:37Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001162

in my hand also the

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001163

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001174

01:18:04Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001175

but no drone operations.

01:18:07Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001176

Mr. Speaker.

01:18:09Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001177

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

asr-001184

Did it happen

01:18:23Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001185

01:18:28Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001186

The AFP says

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Okay. Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001218

partnerships that

01:19:36Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001221

with schools. Meron

01:19:42Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001222

po bang mga

01:19:44Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001223

partnerships?

01:19:46Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001224

Ang AFP or the DND

01:19:48Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001225

with schools. Similar po

01:19:50Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001226

to the UP-AFP agreement.

01:19:53Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001227

At ilan po sila, Mr.

01:19:54Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001228

Speaker, good sponsor?

01:21:01Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001253

Mr. Speaker, there have been previous partnerships, but these relate to R&D projects, research and development, and scholarship programs. Mr. Speaker.

01:21:16Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001254

Ilan po ang active partnerships ng AFP and DND sa mga universidad o mga paaralan na ganun po ang nature, Mr. Speaker? Good sponsor.

01:21:28Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001255

Because we have noted, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor. Other than the University of the Philippines, there is one such agreement as well with Ateneo de Manila University, and to our knowledge, ang Kalinga State University as well. Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

01:21:56Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001256

For partnerships regarding scholarships.

01:21:58Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001257

Mr. Speaker, as of now, there are 230 active partnerships with the DND.

01:22:07Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001258

For research and development, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

01:22:14Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001259

We're just, the department is trying to find the data, but we will furnish a copy to our distinguished colleague regarding the R&D.

01:22:24Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001260

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor. Iintay na lang din po natin yung ulat.

01:22:28Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001261

Sana po hindi rin po mawala yung content at cover letter lang din yung mabigay sa listahan po ng mga paaralan na meron pong partnerships ang UP and DND, whether that be scholarships or research and development, at yung mga kopya rin po ng mga agreements na ito.

01:22:47Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001262

Would that be possible, Mr. Speaker? Good sponsor.

01:22:49Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001263

Yes, the department will comply, Mr. Speaker.

01:22:50Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001264

Thank you. May I ask then, do these agreements require personnel to show up on campus?

01:22:58Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001265

Kung scholarship po ba, oo. Is that the case? How about for research and development?

01:23:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001266

That would depend on the particular project, Mr. Speaker.

01:23:28Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001267

Whether or not military personnel would be asked to attend.

01:23:34Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001268

Okay. Kaya kung maaari din po ay ma-flag din po yun doon sa magiging report na magagawa kung alin po doon ang may pangailangan ng continuous or kung hindi man yun regular na presence in campuses.

01:23:49Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001269

Because we'd like to flag an incident, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

an incident involving the Philippine Air Force and student activists

01:24:01Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001271

of UST, which led to the continuous harassment and red-tagging of student leaders.

01:24:04Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001272

Not surprising, Professor Marlion Villarin, which I've brought up earlier when we interpolated the budget of the National Security Council,

01:24:17Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001273

as he wrote an article in the NSC Journal on terror grooming.

01:24:22Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001274

He issued misogynist and red-tagging statements against student activist Raven Rosales,

01:24:27Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001275

who the Secretary of the Department, Chodoro, may be familiar with because in an interview, he himself discredited Ms. Rosales' advocacy.

01:24:43Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001276

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, if I may just quote ang nasabi po ng ating Department Secretary tungkol po doon,

01:24:52Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001277

ay sinabi po niya na nambabastos lang siya.

01:24:57Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001278

At nalaman natin,

01:24:57Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001279

walong taon, first-year college daw ang estudyante, palipat-lipat,

01:25:02Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001280

which Ms. Rosales has already rebutted publicly.

01:25:07Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001281

But we'd like to put forward po that it does not fail to catch our attention, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

01:25:15Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001282

that an individual like Professor Marlion Villarin has continuously harassed the student leader publicly

01:25:25Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001283

and,

01:25:25Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001284

and,

01:25:27Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001285

was emboldened by this statement to file a disciplinary case against Ms. Rosales for protesting the presence of military personnel in the university

01:25:38Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001286

as their exercise of academic freedom, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

01:25:43Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001287

Siguro ang tanong ko na lang po, can the Department and good sponsor shed some light on this incident?

01:25:49Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001288

And if this is, in fact, an appropriate behavior of a Department Secretary to a scholar,

01:25:57Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001289

a student na gusto po natin na hindi na pipigilan sa iba't-ibang mga paraan ng pag-ehersisyo niya ng karapatan, kalayaan,

01:26:06Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001290

and instead, you know, engaged in, you know, debate and not demeaning behavior.

01:26:45Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001296

Mr. Speaker,

01:26:48Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001297

The statement of the Secretary of National Defense came from, was resulted from him seeing

01:26:59Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001302

the footage of

01:27:00Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001303

Philippine Air Force personnel

01:27:02Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001304

being harassed.

01:27:04Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001305

So,

01:27:05Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001306

that is the

01:27:06Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001307

basis

01:27:09Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001308

for the statement that he made.

01:27:11Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001309

Mr. Speaker.

01:27:12Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001310

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor. At the end

01:27:15Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001311

of the day,

01:27:17Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001312

ang militansyang

01:27:19Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001313

pag-assert ng paniniwala

01:27:22Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001314

ni Raven Reselis

01:27:23Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001315

to my belief, hindi rin po

01:27:25Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001316

nakawarant ng ganong klaseng mga

01:27:27Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001317

salita na binitawan

01:27:29Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001318

sana ng isang department secretary

01:27:31Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001319

against a student.

01:27:33Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001320

Nonetheless, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, we note

01:27:35Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001321

the continuing pattern

01:27:37Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001322

of heightened military

01:27:39Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001323

presence in campuses

01:27:41Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001324

which creates

01:27:43Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001325

a chilling effect

01:27:45Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001326

among students who would like

01:27:47Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001327

to continuously

01:27:48Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001328

exhibit their freedoms

01:27:51Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001329

of expression, of

01:27:53Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001330

assembly, but

01:27:54Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001331

amongst

01:27:55Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001332

the different forms

01:27:57Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001333

of harassment and intimidation

01:27:59Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001334

that they face in a day inside

01:28:01Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001335

universities, which would include

01:28:03Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001336

not only red-tagging by various

01:28:05Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001337

forces, included na rin din po

01:28:07Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001338

dito yung nakikita sa social media,

01:28:09Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001339

and the presence of

01:28:11Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001340

state forces, which

01:28:13Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001341

is essentially the crystallization

01:28:15Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001342

of

01:28:16Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001343

force, actual force

01:28:19Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001344

na pwedeng ma-implement sa isang

01:28:21Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001345

tao, sa isang komunidad.

01:28:23Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001346

That creates an

01:28:25Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001347

atmosphere of fear, which

01:28:26Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001348

Ms. Ravis Rosales and other activists

01:28:29Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001349

are just pushing back against.

01:28:31Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001350

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

01:28:33Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001351

this is just a manifestation

01:28:35Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001352

kung paano tuloy-tuloy

01:28:37Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001353

na in the

01:28:39Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001354

heightened

01:28:40Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001355

atmosphere of campus militarization,

01:28:44Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001356

nawawala po

01:28:45Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001357

ang kakayahan ng mga

01:28:47Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001358

ibang-ibang kabataan na

01:28:49Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001359

tuloy-tuloy na panghawakan

01:28:51Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001360

yung mga ganitong karapatan at kalayaan nila.

01:28:54Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001361

Nonetheless, Mr. Speaker,

01:28:55Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001362

good sponsor,

01:28:56Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001363

for now,

01:28:59Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001364

we would like to wait for the different

01:29:01Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001365

requests that this

01:29:03Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001366

representation put forth.

01:29:06Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001367

At sa dulo po nito,

01:29:07Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001368

gusto natin na

01:29:09Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001369

ang mga ating

01:29:11Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001370

higher educational institutions and even

01:29:13Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001371

schools, zones of peace sila.

01:29:16Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001372

And as according

01:29:17Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001373

to international

01:29:18Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001374

agreements,

01:29:21Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001375

it is not a place

01:29:23Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001376

for the military to serve as security

01:29:25Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001377

forces therein. But

01:29:27Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001378

sa pinakamaari

01:29:29Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001379

ay hindi military and police

01:29:31Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001380

free ang mga espasyon na ito.

01:29:34Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001381

That's all, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

01:29:35Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001382

Thank you very much for answering

01:29:37Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001383

our interpellations. And again, we have received

01:29:39Source

asr-001385

01:29:44Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-001386

Mr. Speaker,

01:29:45Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-001387

I move that we recognize the Honorable

01:29:47Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

01:29:53Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001391

The gentleman from

01:29:55Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001392

Act Teachers, Representative

01:30:00Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001394

Please proceed.

01:30:05Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001395

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

01:30:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001396

May mga ilang topic po tayo, sikapin nating pagkasahin sa imitadong oras ng interpolation.

01:30:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001397

Una, meron po tayong slide tungkol sa AFP Modernization Program.

01:30:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001398

So, ito po yung appropriations for AFP Modernization from 2013 up to the proposed for 2027.

01:30:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001399

Yung 2027 proposal ay 50 billion pesos.

01:30:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001400

So, kung susumahin po from 2013 to 2027, total appropriations for AFP Modernization are at

01:30:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001402

469.393 billion pesos.

01:31:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001403

Kung isasama pa natin yung for 2027, then it will be 489.5 billion.

01:31:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001404

So, ganun po yung halaga ng AFP Modernization.

01:31:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001405

For 2027, the proposed is 50 billion.

01:31:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001406

Meron pa po bang...

01:31:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001407

Para sa DND, ito ba ay sapat na or may hinihingi pa silang dagdag?

01:31:29Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001408

Hindi po sapat ang 50 billion, Mr. Speaker.

01:31:34Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001409

As a matter of fact, ang kailangan po talaga for the AFP Modernization Program for Fiscal

01:31:41Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001410

Year 2027 is 126.96 billion.

01:31:47Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001411

Kung pwede po ako magbigay ng detalye.

01:31:51Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001412

For Horizon 2 and Horizon 3 projects with existing multi-year contracts pa lang,

01:31:57Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001465

plus yung additional MCAs na kailangan nating i-service for 2027, 35 billion na po yung kailangan natin.

01:32:07Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001466

So nakain na po yung 35 out of the 50 billion na i-allocate for the

01:32:13Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001479

modernization program.

01:32:17Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001480

Plus, yung existing multi-year contracts

01:32:19Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001481

due ng 2026 under the GAAA,

01:32:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001482

21.2 billion na po yun.

01:32:27Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001483

So, kung tinatotal nyo po,

01:32:29Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001484

35 plus 21, 56 billion actually,

01:32:33Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001485

kulang pa po tayo sa pagsaservice pa lang

01:32:35Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001486

ng multi-year contracts under the AFP modernization program.

01:32:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001487

Okay, noted po.

01:32:41Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001488

My concern in raising this is,

01:32:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001489

first of all, transparency.

01:32:47Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001490

Or, actually, the lack of public transparency

01:32:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001491

in the use of AFP modernization funds.

01:32:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001492

So, mahigit kumulang kalahating trilyon

01:32:57Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001493

ang na-appropriate over more than a decade

01:33:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001494

of the AFP modernization program.

01:33:05Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001495

Pero, wala pong publicly available

01:33:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001496

kung sa website, halimbawa,

01:33:11Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001497

ng AFP organization,

01:33:11Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001498

or DND,

01:33:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001499

there are no publicly available references

01:33:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001500

on how these are used.

01:33:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001501

So, yun ang unang obserbasyon natin.

01:33:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001502

Kung itatanong ng ordinaryong Pilipino,

01:33:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001503

saan pa ginamit?

01:33:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001504

Yung kalahating trilyong piso na yan,

01:33:29Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001505

walang madaling reference.

01:33:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001506

In fact, the only readily available ones

01:33:33Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001507

are private blogs,

01:33:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001508

like probably some of you know,

01:33:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001509

yung Max Defense blog.

01:33:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001510

No?

01:33:41Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001511

So, yun, kumukuha sila from open source.

01:33:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001512

Yung sabihin, mga news articles and so on.

01:33:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001513

Mas importante po, dapat,

01:33:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001514

opisyal na galing sa DND.

01:33:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001515

Pero, wala.

01:33:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001516

So, yun yung una.

01:33:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001517

Pangalawa,

01:33:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001518

even in the GAA,

01:34:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001519

there is a reporting requirement.

01:34:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001520

Very limited na nga yung reporting requirement

01:34:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001521

with regard to the lump sum fund

01:34:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001522

known as the revised AFP

01:34:11Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001523

modernization program fund.

01:34:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001534

Nandito yung 50 billion, SPF sya, no?

01:34:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001535

Special provision.

01:34:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001536

The AFP shall submit quarterly reports

01:34:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001537

on its financial and physical accomplishments

01:34:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001538

through the URS or other electronic means

01:34:27Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001539

for reports, etc., etc.

01:34:31Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001540

Likewise, the AFP shall post said reports

01:34:35Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001541

on its website.

01:34:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001542

Kung titignan po natin yung website

01:34:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001543

ay very spotty po

01:34:41Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001544

ang compliance

01:34:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001545

sa reporting na ito.

asr-001546

Physical and financial reports.

01:34:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001547

Wala ka masyadong makukuha dyan.

01:34:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001548

Financial reports,

01:34:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001549

ano lang yun, yung

01:34:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001550

obligation,

01:34:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001551

disbursement, and so on.

01:34:59Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001552

Rates.

01:35:01Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001553

Accomplishment reports, asabihin lang doon.

01:35:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001554

Percentage of

01:35:05Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001555

physical

01:35:07Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001556

targets accomplished.

01:35:09Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001557

100%.

01:35:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001558

Ganun na yun. Tapos, certified by the

01:35:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001559

whoever is the accountable official.

01:35:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001560

So, even this

01:35:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001561

limited requirement for transparency

01:35:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001562

ay kulang po.

01:35:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001563

Supposedly, quarterly and posted to the internet.

01:35:23Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001564

Kung titignan natin,

01:35:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001565

we have data until

01:35:27Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001566

as far back as 2014,

01:35:29Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001567

pero kung dito na lang sa 2023,

01:35:31Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001568

dapat quarterly, pero ang

01:35:33Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001569

nakapost lang, Q4.

01:35:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001570

2024,

01:35:37Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001571

Q1, Q2.

01:35:39Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001572

2025, Q4.

01:35:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001573

2026, Q1, Q2.

01:35:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001574

So, kahit po ito,

01:35:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001575

hindi nagko-comply

01:35:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001576

ang AFP

01:35:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001577

sa posting.

01:35:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001578

Does the

01:35:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001579

DND confirm na hindi kayo nakakapag-comply

01:35:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001580

sa legal requirement?

01:36:10Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001581

We'll address the reports

01:36:14Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001582

first. The DND

01:36:16Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001583

submits reports regarding the

01:36:18Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001584

AFP modernization program to the

01:36:20Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001585

Congress, Senate,

01:36:22Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001586

and to the President. So,

01:36:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001587

at least dun po, the DND continually

01:36:26Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001588

complies with those reportorial requirements.

01:36:28Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001589

With regards to

01:36:30Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001590

the quarterly reporting,

01:36:33Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001591

hindi po kasi every quarter

01:36:36Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001592

may mga nabibiling bagong

01:36:37Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001593

equipment under the AFP modernization program.

01:36:40Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001594

So, that would

01:36:41Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001595

be a reason for why

01:36:44Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001596

periodic lang po yung

01:36:47Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001597

pag-publish

01:36:48Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001598

dun po sa website, Mr. Speaker.

01:36:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001599

Well, as I said,

01:36:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001600

nagsasubmit sa Presidente,

01:36:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001601

sa Kongreso, etc., pero malinaw na

01:36:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001602

sinasabi rito. Likewise,

01:36:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001603

the AFP shall post said reports on its

01:37:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001604

website. Okay?

01:37:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001605

So,

01:37:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001606

can we get a commitment na may

01:37:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001607

magkakaroon ng compliance dito?

01:37:10Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001608

Mr. Speaker,

01:37:17Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001609

regarding this,

01:37:18Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001610

the reporting in the

01:37:20Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001611

official website, may

01:37:22Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001612

operational security requirements po kasi.

01:37:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001613

Also, some of these documents

01:37:26Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001614

are classified. It might compromise

01:37:28Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001615

the security position of the Philippine government.

01:37:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001616

No, yung,

01:37:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001617

ito na naman tayo, invoking

01:37:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001618

national security

01:37:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001619

classified, confidential, etc.

01:37:39Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001620

Hindi po. These are just

01:37:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001621

financial and physical reports.

01:37:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001622

Wala pong detalya yan.

01:37:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001623

If you've seen one,

01:37:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001624

if you look at it, walang detalya.

01:37:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001625

These are just numbers

01:37:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001626

and obligation rates and so on.

01:37:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001627

Wala pong,

01:37:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001628

you know, knee-jerk na eh,

01:37:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001629

na classified.

01:37:59Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001630

Yun nga ang problema natin,

01:38:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001631

the lack of transparency.

01:38:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001632

And regardless,

01:38:05Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001633

required siya ng Kongreso.

01:38:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001634

So, kung may concern ng,

01:38:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001635

required siya ng batas, if I may say,

01:38:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001636

no, if the DND

01:38:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001637

has a problem with that, then,

01:38:15Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001638

well, they have to

01:38:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001639

comply nevertheless.

01:38:19Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001640

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

01:38:20Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001641

The department will look into

01:38:22Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001642

how else we could be more

01:38:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001643

transparent and divulge more information,

01:38:27Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001644

Mr. Speaker.

01:38:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001645

Okay. Well, yun po.

01:38:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001646

Very low

01:38:31Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001647

level of transparency.

01:38:35Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001648

Therefore,

01:38:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001649

ang concern natin, yung issues

01:38:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001650

ng accountability,

01:38:39Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001651

you know, especially,

01:38:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001652

corruption.

01:38:41Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001653

Yung mga public works,

01:38:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001654

projects, and contracts

01:38:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001655

are under,

01:38:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001656

you know, a lot of public scrutiny,

01:38:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001657

rightly so,

01:38:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001658

not so for defense contracts.

01:38:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001659

Partly because of this

01:38:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001660

lack of transparency

01:38:57Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001661

within the DND.

01:39:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001662

So, ang

01:39:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001663

pinakahuling na balita

01:39:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001664

siguro sa publiko, yung

01:39:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001665

controversy regarding

01:39:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001666

the Navy frigate procurement,

01:39:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001667

nung nakarang administration pa yun.

01:39:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001668

No?

01:39:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001669

Pero, again, as I said,

01:39:15Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001670

generally, wala, kasi wala masyadong

01:39:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001671

information. So, anyway, let me move on.

01:39:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001672

Marami pa pong topics.

01:39:23Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001673

Pension fund.

01:39:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001674

The AFP,

01:39:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001675

Military and Uniform Personnel Pensions.

01:39:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001676

So, again, meron tayong

01:39:31Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001677

data.

01:39:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001678

Yan po. Again, tinotal natin

01:39:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001679

from 2014 to the proposed for

01:39:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001680

2027

01:39:41Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001681

na pondo para sa

01:39:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001682

MUP. Pensions.

01:39:47Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001683

For 2026, it's

01:39:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001684

145 billion. Total na po

01:39:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001685

MUP ito, no?

01:39:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001686

And then, 154B

01:39:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001687

for

01:39:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001688

2027.

01:39:59Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001689

Kung ito total natin yan,

01:40:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001690

yung buo na yan, it's not there,

01:40:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001691

but I have totaled it, 1.295

01:40:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001692

trillion.

01:40:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001693

No? In the past

01:40:09Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001694

more than one decade,

01:40:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001695

1.295 trillion.

01:40:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001696

So, if you recall, yung

01:40:15Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001697

more or less one decade

01:40:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001698

ng AFP modernization

01:40:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001699

is

01:40:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001700

469 billion.

01:40:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001701

Yung sa pension, MUP,

01:40:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001702

1.295 trillion. So, more than double.

01:40:27Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001703

No?

01:40:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001704

Thus, the

01:40:29Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001705

matagal na pong issue to.

01:40:33Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001706

No?

01:40:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001707

Unang term ko pa lang sa kongreso, way back in

01:40:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001708

2009, pinag-uusapan na yan.

01:40:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001709

And even at

01:40:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001710

the time, sabi na ng economic

01:40:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001711

managers, the

01:40:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001712

pension bill

01:40:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001713

is

01:40:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001714

already becoming an

01:40:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001715

unsustainable

01:40:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001716

fiscal

01:40:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001717

budgetary burden. No?

01:40:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001718

Sumasangayon ba ang DND

01:40:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001719

sa ganong suri?

01:41:01Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001720

No? Na talagang

01:41:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001721

napakabigat na ng

01:41:03Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001722

budgetary requirement nito para sa GAA.

01:41:07Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001723

Yes,

01:41:08Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001724

Mr. Speaker,

01:41:10Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001725

the DND

01:41:11Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001726

believes that the proposed pension

01:41:15Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001727

reform should be studied.

01:41:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001728

Should be studied?

01:41:18Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001729

Yeah, it needs further study.

01:41:20Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001730

It needs further study.

01:41:22Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001731

It needs further study.

01:41:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001732

And the DND

01:41:26Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001733

stance is that the AFP should be segregated

01:41:29Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001734

from civilian

01:41:30Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001735

uniform services in any burden-sharing

01:41:33Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001736

scheme. The DND is

01:41:35Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001737

open to reforming the

01:41:37Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001738

current pension scheme.

01:41:39Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001739

So,

01:41:40Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001740

it really, in terms of

01:41:42Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001741

the recommendations,

01:41:45Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001742

that would really depend

01:41:46Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001743

on what is arrived

01:41:48Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001744

in terms of assessments

01:41:50Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001745

and evaluation of the system.

01:41:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001746

Okay, so study and so on.

01:41:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001747

Bottom line,

01:41:57Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001748

maaasahan ba natin

01:41:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001749

ang pension reform?

01:42:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001750

Ang pinakakailangan po dito

01:42:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001752

system ang uniformed personnel.

01:42:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001753

Katulad ng sa sibil yan, parang yung

01:42:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001754

GSIS.

01:42:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001755

Sa ngayon, wala. Absolutely,

01:42:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001756

100%

01:42:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001757

kargado, kargo

01:42:15Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001758

ng budget,

01:42:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001759

ng national budget.

01:42:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001760

So, basically,

01:42:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001761

ang sinasabi nyo po,

01:42:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001762

pag-aaralan pa, therefore, wala pong

01:42:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001763

maasahang pension reform under the

01:42:27Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001764

Marcos Jr. Administration.

01:42:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001765

Dalawang taon na lang po tayo.

01:42:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001766

Tama po ba?

01:42:34Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001767

The DND thinks that

01:42:36Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-001768

there should be further study.

01:42:37Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001769

Further study. Okay, I'll take that as a yes.

01:42:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001770

So, in other words, sabi ko nga,

01:42:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001771

Panumpay Aquino, pinag-usapan na to.

01:42:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001772

Kick down the road to the Duterte.

01:42:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001773

Ganon din.

01:42:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001774

So, eto na naman tayo sa Marcos.

01:42:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001775

Okay, so humihingi ang AFP.

01:42:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001776

Sabi nila, walang pera sa modernization.

01:42:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001777

Eto, yung malaking budget nyo nandito.

01:42:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001778

Ayaw nyo naman mag-reforma.

01:43:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001779

No? Okay.

01:43:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001780

So, move on.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001781

Next topic.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001782

Next topic po natin.

01:43:07Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001783

Eto, parang

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001784

hot pop.

01:43:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001785

Right now, this is foreign

01:43:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001786

information manipulation

01:43:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001787

and interference.

01:43:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001788

Which is defined

01:43:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001789

as a coordinated

01:43:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001790

pattern of behavior

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001791

by foreign state

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001792

or state-linked actors

01:43:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001793

intended to distort the information

01:43:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001794

environment, deepen

01:43:29Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001795

societal polarization,

01:43:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001796

and undermine democratic institutions.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001821

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001822

No?

01:44:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001823

Yung topic is not

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001826

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001827

So, I raised this

01:44:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001828

during the budget deliberations.

01:44:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001829

Particularly,

01:44:23Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001830

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001831

01:44:27Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001835

isa sa mga,

01:44:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001836

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001839

even though he's an American,

01:44:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001840

pero he often appears

01:44:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

maritime expert,

01:44:41Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

01:44:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001846

Ahm,

01:44:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001847

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001848

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001849

FIMI,

01:44:47Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001850

ah,

01:44:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001851

Foreign Information Manipulation

01:44:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001852

and Interference.

01:44:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001853

And recently,

01:44:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001854

he came out

01:44:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001855

with a,

01:44:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001856

ahm,

01:44:57Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001857

report

01:44:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001858

on

01:45:05Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001893

China

01:45:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001894

through his

01:45:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001895

project, a project called

01:45:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001896

Sea Light, Sea Light Initiative. Pwede bang

01:45:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001897

talon tayo doon sa Sea Light Initiative?

01:45:15Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001898

Okay.

01:45:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001899

This is a,

01:45:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001900

came out with a study

01:45:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001901

on, ayun po yung

01:45:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001902

title, the university that

01:45:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001903

said Batanes is China's

01:45:27Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001904

is also training Manila's Chinese

01:45:29Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001905

teachers. So essentially,

01:45:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001906

it's a long paper

01:45:33Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001907

on

01:45:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001908

foreign information

01:45:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001909

manipulation and interference.

01:45:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001910

Sinasabi niya rito

01:45:41Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001911

na yung mga

01:45:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001912

Chinese schools dito sa

01:45:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001913

Pilipinas ay nagiging

01:45:47Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001914

conduit daw po,

01:45:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001915

ginagamit ng China bilang conduit

01:45:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001916

ng kanilang

01:45:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001917

foreign information manipulation.

01:45:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001918

No?

01:45:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001919

Nabanggit dito yung

01:45:59Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001920

Chinese university

01:46:01Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001921

that claimed, obviously

01:46:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001922

falsely, walang basis,

01:46:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001923

na yung Batanes daw

01:46:07Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001924

ay bahagi ng China.

01:46:09Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001925

So yun daw mga universities na yun

01:46:11Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001926

have ties with

01:46:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001927

Chinese

01:46:15Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001928

Filipino schools

01:46:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001929

in Manila. At

01:46:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001930

pinangalanan

01:46:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001931

nitong si Ray Powell

01:46:23Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001932

sa kanyang study,

01:46:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001933

ang mga,

01:46:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001934

kilala,

01:46:29Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001935

prestigious to the

01:46:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001936

Filipino-Chinese community,

01:46:33Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001937

long-standing historical institutions

01:46:35Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001938

like Chiang Kai-shek

01:46:37Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001939

College,

01:46:39Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001940

Philippine Cultural College,

01:46:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001941

and the Philippine

01:46:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001942

Chongse Academy. Mga matagal na po

01:46:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001943

tong mga

01:46:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001944

institutions,

01:46:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001945

education institutions

01:46:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001946

sa ating Filipino-Chinese

01:46:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001947

community. Pero sabi ni Powell,

01:46:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001948

daluyan na raw sila ng

01:46:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001949

foreign information manipulation

01:47:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001950

and interference.

01:47:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001951

Okay? At binanggit din niya yung

01:47:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001952

mga universities daw

01:47:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001953

na merong Confucian institutes.

01:47:11Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001954

No?

01:47:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001955

Including, Confucius Institute,

01:47:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001956

sorry, including Adamson University,

01:47:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001957

Bulacan State University.

01:47:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001958

And

01:47:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001959

overall, sabi niya, sa kanyang

01:47:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001960

study, 44 Chinese-Filipino

01:47:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001961

schools ang

01:47:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001962

na-identify niya, na-involve

01:47:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001963

many, and even

01:47:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001964

many mainstream, hindi lang yung

01:47:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001965

Chinese schools, sabi niya, many mainstream

01:47:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001966

Philippine high

01:47:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001967

schools have also

01:47:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001968

been attached by this

01:47:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001969

influence. So yun po ang sabi

01:47:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001970

nitong si Ray Powell.

01:47:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001971

So, of course, kung merong ganyang

01:47:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001972

study,

01:47:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001973

objectively, dapat ma-evaluate.

01:47:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001974

However, my concern

01:47:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001975

is that

01:47:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001976

dapat yung concept ng

01:47:59Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001977

foreign information

01:48:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001978

manipulation and

01:48:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001979

interference

01:48:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001980

should be applied

01:48:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001981

equally

01:48:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001982

to all

01:48:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001983

types of foreign influence.

01:48:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001984

No? And it so

01:48:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001985

happens, to state the obvious,

01:48:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001986

si Ray

01:48:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001987

Powell mismo,

01:48:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001988

foreigner din naman.

01:48:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001989

Diba? Now, should he not

01:48:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001990

also, should he and his

01:48:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001991

activities also not fall under

01:48:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001992

the category of

01:48:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001993

foreign information

01:48:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001994

manipulation and

01:48:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001995

interference? What

01:48:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001996

he does not publicly disclose

01:48:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001997

or

01:49:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Um, okay.

The ONR helps

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

01:50:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

for national security innovation.

01:50:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002039

This is a

01:50:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002040

news report from the

01:50:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002041

Navy.mil website.

01:50:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002042

Website po ng

01:50:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002043

US Navy, official, no?

01:50:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002044

Okay. Next.

01:50:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002045

Uh, the recognizing

01:50:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002046

the modern need for bold answers

01:50:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002047

to complex naval challenges.

01:50:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002048

The Office of Naval Research

01:50:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002049

has sponsored the creation

01:50:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002050

of Stanford University's

01:50:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002051

Gordian Knot Center for National

01:50:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002052

Security Innovation.

01:50:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002053

So, malinaw po, ang origin

01:50:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002054

nung Gordian Knot Center

01:50:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002055

tsaka yung SeaLight project

01:50:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002056

is the Office of Naval Research. Ano yung

01:50:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002057

Office of Naval Research? Next slide.

01:50:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002058

Office of Naval Research

01:50:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002059

is an office under

01:50:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002060

the United States Navy

01:50:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002061

which is under the Department

01:50:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002062

of War of the U.S.A.

01:50:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002063

So, in other words, directly,

01:50:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002064

this SeaLight,

01:50:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002065

this Gordian Knot Center,

01:51:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002066

this Ray Powell,

01:51:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002067

who is the director of SeaLight,

01:51:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002068

sila po,

01:51:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002069

they would fall under

01:51:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002070

state-linked actors.

01:51:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002071

Kasi ang nagtatag

01:51:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002072

ng kanilang organisasyon,

01:51:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002073

US Navy mismo.

01:51:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002074

So, ang

01:51:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002075

point lang po natin,

01:51:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002076

tama po, expose natin

01:51:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002077

yung mga

01:51:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002078

foreign influence operations

01:51:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002079

ng information

01:51:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002080

operations ng China, pero

01:51:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002081

kailangan din

01:51:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002082

patas. Kailangan din

01:51:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002083

transparent with regard

01:51:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002084

to the foreign influence

01:51:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002085

operations of the United States.

01:51:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002086

And the main

01:51:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002087

actor or agent

01:51:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002088

of the United States in this

01:51:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002089

regard would be this person,

01:51:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002090

Ray Powell.

01:51:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002091

So,

01:51:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002092

yun po ang punto natin

01:51:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002093

dito. Kung magsasalita man siya,

01:51:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002094

this is a free country, pwede siya magsalita.

01:51:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002095

Pero kailangan may disclaimer.

01:52:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002096

Diba?

01:52:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002097

Na

01:52:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002098

siya ay

01:52:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002099

ahente ng

01:52:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002100

gobyerno ng US.

01:52:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002101

State-linked actor, that would be the term

01:52:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002102

for him. Okay. So, yun po

01:52:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002103

yung point. Now, madalas po

01:52:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002104

kadil siya ng DND, including

01:52:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002105

the Secretary himself, as we have

01:52:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002106

shown, yung podcast.

01:52:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002107

So, dapat siguro,

01:52:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002108

malinaw, maging critical tayo. Gusto

01:52:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002109

natin independent

01:52:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002110

foreign policy,

01:52:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002111

independent defense

01:52:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002112

stand. So,

01:52:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002113

kailangan, klaro, okay,

01:52:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002114

kontra tayo sa China, pero

01:52:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002115

hindi tayo, we do not, we should

01:52:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002116

not accept hook, line,

01:52:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002117

and sinker kung ano

01:52:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002118

yung

01:52:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002119

sinasabi ng

01:52:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002120

US as a

01:52:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002121

foreign information

01:52:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002122

influencer. Parang

01:52:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002123

ganon. Ngayon,

01:52:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002124

especially, for example, when

01:53:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002125

someone like Ray Powell

01:53:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002126

makes

01:53:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002127

certain allegations

01:53:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002128

against

01:53:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002129

the Chinese

01:53:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002130

Filipino community

01:53:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002131

and

01:53:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002132

respected institutions

01:53:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002133

of long standing

01:53:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002134

of

01:53:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002135

beloved institutions

01:53:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002136

of the Filipino-Chinese

01:53:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002137

community, such as Chiang Kai-shek

01:53:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002138

College. So,

01:53:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002139

magingat po tayo.

01:53:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002140

Namamaya,

01:53:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002141

unfairly, nagiging target

01:53:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002142

yung, of course,

01:53:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002143

matagal na ang Chinese

01:53:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002144

Filipino community sa Pilipinas.

01:53:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002145

Of course, there will be ties with China.

01:53:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002146

Hindi talaga,

01:53:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002147

hindi maiiwasan yun. Now,

01:53:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002148

ang problema po natin, may nakikita

01:53:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002149

tayong dangerous tendency to encourage

01:53:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002150

kung merong red tagging,

01:53:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002151

meron na rin pong China

01:53:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002152

tagging. So, yan po

01:53:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002153

ang

01:54:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002154

anything associated with

01:54:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002155

China or

01:54:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002156

any critical stand against

01:54:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002157

the United States in the Philippines

01:54:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002158

sasabihin, pro-China ka.

01:54:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002159

Ganon. So, yan po ang

01:54:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002160

nakikita nating problema dito.

01:54:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002161

Okay. Now,

01:54:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002162

last

01:54:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002163

set of

01:54:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002164

issues,

01:54:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002165

yung Iran war.

01:54:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002166

No?

01:54:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002167

And its effect

01:54:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002168

on

01:54:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002169

and the necessary

01:54:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002170

rethinking

01:54:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002171

of

01:54:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002172

our foreign policy

01:54:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002173

and even our

01:54:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002174

national defense,

01:54:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002175

external defense posture.

01:54:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002176

Especially since

01:54:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002177

what we have seen

01:54:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002178

in the Iran

01:54:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002179

in the,

01:54:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002180

as a result of the Iran war.

01:54:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002181

No? Sa ngayon po,

01:54:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002182

malinaw ang ating

01:54:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002183

external defense

01:55:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002184

posture.

01:55:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002185

It's still very much anchored

01:55:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002186

on the mutual defense treaty

01:55:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002187

with the United States. Diba?

01:55:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002188

Okay. And the

01:55:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002189

Marcos Junior policy is to

01:55:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002190

expand

01:55:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002191

U.S. presence,

01:55:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002192

military presence, as well as economic

01:55:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002193

presence in the Philippines.

01:55:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002194

No? So, meron kang ED

01:55:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002195

ka, meron ka ngayon Paxil

01:55:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002196

ka. No? So,

01:55:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002197

military

01:55:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002198

as well as economic.

01:55:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002199

Okay. Ano po ang mga

01:55:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002200

aral natin mula sa ongoing pa rin

01:55:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002201

na gera ng

01:55:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002202

U.S. sa Iran? Well,

01:55:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002203

for one, we have seen how

01:55:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002204

those countries that host

01:55:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002205

U.S. military

01:55:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002206

installations

01:55:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002207

01:56:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Okay. Kapos hindi

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002236

even the bases of the United States

Yeah.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002241

Go back. Well, okay.

May sinabit po na report

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002248

sa

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002249

U.S. Congress

01:57:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002250

regarding the damage, the military

01:57:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002251

damage sustained by the U.S.

01:57:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002252

in the still ongoing war.

01:57:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002253

Ano ang sabi nila?

01:57:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002254

Dito.

01:57:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002255

Sabi po sa report,

01:57:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002256

U.S. CENTCOM

01:57:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002257

reported that Iranian strikes

01:57:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002258

damaged and destroyed hundreds of

01:57:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002259

buildings and structures at

01:57:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002260

U.S. bases in Kuwait,

01:57:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002261

Bahrain, Qatar, UAE,

01:57:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002262

Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, and Jordan

01:57:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002263

during the conflict.

01:57:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002264

No? And,

01:57:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002265

ito naman, may table of all the

01:57:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002266

aircraft, the military aircraft destroyed

01:57:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002267

during the conflict

01:57:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002268

in their bases.

01:57:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002269

Okay. And then the next slide.

01:57:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002270

The

01:58:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002271

Secretary

01:58:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002272

of the Navy,

01:58:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002273

Hung Cao, yun ang pangalan niya,

01:58:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002274

Vietnamese-American,

01:58:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002275

he candidly admitted

01:58:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002276

to media, sabi niya, Iran

01:58:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002277

blew the hell out of our base in

01:58:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002278

Bahrain. So siya mismo

01:58:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002279

nagsabi, pinasabog ng Iran

01:58:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002280

yung naval base

01:58:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002281

ng U.S. sa Bahrain,

01:58:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002282

which happens to be the

01:58:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002283

headquarters of the Navy

01:58:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002284

in that area, CENTCOM,

01:58:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002285

5th Fleet. No? So kaya po,

01:58:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002286

nawala lang sila ng base

01:58:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002287

sa

01:58:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002288

area na yon,

01:58:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002289

ng gitnang silangan,

01:58:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002290

and they now have to resupply

01:58:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002291

all the way as far away as

01:58:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002292

Diego Garcia. Kaya namumroblema po sila.

01:58:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002293

Okay. So ang point, anong point

01:58:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002294

dito?

01:58:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002295

So, ang point

01:58:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002296

dito, pag nagkaroon ng

01:58:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002297

gera, ang U.S.,

01:58:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002298

sa kalaban niya,

01:58:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002299

magiging target

01:58:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002300

yung mga

01:59:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002301

host countries

01:59:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002302

na nag-host ng

01:59:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002303

economic infrastructure

01:59:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002304

as well as military

01:59:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002305

bases ng U.S.

01:59:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002306

So that is no long

01:59:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002307

or hypothetical. It is

01:59:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002308

what happened. No? So kaya po,

01:59:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002309

ang tanong ngayon, what about

01:59:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002310

Pilipinas?

01:59:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002311

No? Ang Marcos Jr. Administration,

01:59:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002312

katulad ng sinabi natin,

01:59:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002313

talagang todong

01:59:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002314

pinalawak ang footprint

01:59:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002315

ng U.S. militarily.

01:59:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002316

So with the EDCA sites

01:59:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002317

as well as the non-EDCA sites.

01:59:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002318

Subic, for example.

01:59:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002319

Tapos meron pa ngayong

01:59:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002320

Paxilica. Mag-i-invest

01:59:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002321

pa raw yung

01:59:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002322

Subic, yung ating

01:59:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002323

Luzon Economic Corridor.

01:59:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002324

So that would be Subic, Clark,

01:59:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002325

Batangas, Laguna.

01:59:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002326

The industrial heart

01:59:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002327

of the Philippine economy ay

01:59:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002328

ibibigay daw sa Paxilica.

01:59:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002329

No? So,

02:00:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002330

Ang tanong dito ngayon, and this is a question that pertains to the primary mandate of the Department of National Defense and the AFP,

02:00:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002331

paano didepensahan ang mga ito kung magkaroon ng gera sa pagitan ng US at Pilipinas?

02:00:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002332

Napakita sa Gulf na wasak yan.

02:00:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002333

Let me, another, one last.

02:00:27Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-002334

Sorry, before you continue, I would like to request the gentleman to wrap up, please.

02:00:31Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002335

Opo, we're wrapping up.

02:00:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002336

A few other points.

02:00:39Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002337

So, napakita natin.

02:00:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002338

One last slide.

02:00:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002339

Even, so mukhang, dalawa actually.

02:00:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002340

One is tidal wave.

02:00:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002341

Tidal wave.

02:00:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002342

Okay.

02:00:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002343

Okay.

02:00:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002344

What is tidal wave?

02:00:57Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002345

Tidal wave was a recent major report issued by Heritage, the Washington think tank, the renowned Washington think tank.

02:01:07Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002346

Tungkol ito, 400 pages ito.

02:01:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002347

This is a study on logistics, China, logistics of China and the US in time of war.

02:01:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002348

Kung magkaroon daw ng gera, ano mangyayari sa, ano maging risulta from the point of view of logistics?

02:01:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002349

Ano ang sabi?

02:01:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002350

Dito.

02:01:27Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002351

Ang sabi dito ay, sabi ng Heritage Foundation, hindi daw tatagal ng isang linggo ang ammunition supplies ng US in an all-out war with China.

02:01:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002352

One week.

02:01:41Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002353

And then, hindi tatagal daw ng isang buwan ang kanilang fuel supply in a war with China.

02:01:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002354

This was issued by Heritage, as you can see, in January.

02:01:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002355

2026.

02:02:01Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002356

Before the Iran War.

02:02:03Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002357

So ngayon, mas kinumpirman ng realidad.

02:02:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002358

Kung Iran pa lang ang kalaban, medyo naubusan na ng bala at hirap na ng logistics ang US.

02:02:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002359

Paano pa ngayon sa China?

02:02:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002360

And then the final study that I would like to present here is one issued by...

02:02:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002361

by the Washington think tank, again, Defense Priorities.

02:02:29Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002362

Itong think tank na ito is funded by the American billionaire Koch, the Koch brothers.

02:02:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002363

These are right-wing billionaires.

02:02:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002364

Mas right-wing pa kay Trump.

02:02:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002365

Ano ang nilabas nila recently?

02:02:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002366

Just this September 10, they are proposing a second island chain strategy for Asia.

02:02:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002367

No?

02:02:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002368

What do they mean by a second island chain strategy?

02:02:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002369

For Asia?

02:02:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002370

Sabi po dito, this is a strategy that shifts US military commitments and presence

02:03:05Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002371

from the vulnerable first island chain toward a more defensible second island chain,

02:03:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002372

which would reduce US military requirements and the risk of a war with China

02:03:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002373

while still protecting US interests.

02:03:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002374

And then second, the United States should narrow its defense commitments

02:03:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002375

in the region, shifting to a clear non-intervention position on Taiwan,

02:03:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002376

ending mutual defense alliances with South Korea, Australia, the Philippines, and Japan,

02:03:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002377

and negotiating narrow and flexible security partnerships in their place.

02:03:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002378

US military posture should change accordingly.

02:03:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002379

So, yan na po ang posisyon.

02:03:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002380

Kung baga, may pagtanggap na in certain circles in Washington,

02:03:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002381

the most conservative circles,

02:03:57Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002382

sabi nila, di na kayang depensahan ng US

02:04:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002383

ang first island chain, atras tayo sa second island chain.

02:04:05Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002384

Ibig sabihin nun, as far back as Guam.

02:04:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002385

No?

02:04:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002386

At sabi nga, huwag na, let us leave behind the mutual defense treaties

02:04:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002387

because hindi na raw kayang ng US ang commitment na to.

02:04:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002388

So, in favor of more to them,

02:04:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002389

flexible arrangements.

02:04:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002390

Ito, hindi mga kaliwa ang nagpo-propose nito,

02:04:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002391

yung mga pinakakanan sa US.

02:04:33Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002392

Now, my final point and question is,

02:04:36Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-002393

May may request sa gentleman to wrap up in the last 30 seconds, please.

02:04:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002394

Okay, sa ganitong realidad ngayon,

02:04:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002395

tama po ba na patuloy na panindigan pa rin

02:04:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002396

ng Marcos Jr. Administration

02:04:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002397

at ng Department of National Defense

02:04:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002398

ang kanilang,

02:04:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002399

patuloy na pagkapit

02:04:59Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002400

sa Mutual Defense Treaty with the US,

02:05:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002401

given that events have shown

02:05:07Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002402

that such a close alliance with the US

02:05:11Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002403

would mean putting our economic infrastructure at risk

02:05:15Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002404

and also,

02:05:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002405

would also mean that

02:05:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002406

the US may not be willing or able

02:05:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002407

to,

02:05:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002408

ah,

02:05:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002409

live up to its defense commitments.

02:05:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002410

Hindi niya kayang ipagtanggol.

02:05:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002411

Katulad ng nangyari sa Middle East,

02:05:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002412

hindi pinagtagol.

02:05:33Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002413

And therefore,

02:05:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002414

sa halip na patuloy na magpahipit ng relasyon sa US,

02:05:39Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002415

ay tumindig tayo, no?

02:05:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002416

Labanan natin ng China,

02:05:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002417

pero pangunahing umaasa sa sarili nating lakas

02:05:47Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002418

at makipagtulungan,

02:05:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002419

hindi sa US,

02:05:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002420

kung hindi sa mga kapitbahay natin, halimbawa,

02:05:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002421

ASEAN,

02:05:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002422

Malaysia,

02:05:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002423

Indonesia,

02:05:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002424

Vietnam,

02:05:57Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002425

at iba pa.

02:05:59Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002426

May I get a,

02:06:01Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002427

at least a final response from the sponsor?

02:06:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002428

Kine-question na po natin, basically,

02:06:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002429

yung, ah,

02:06:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002430

pagkapit ng Marcos Jr. administration

02:06:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002431

sa Mutual Defense Treaty at sa mga kano?

02:06:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002432

Opo.

02:06:17Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002433

Yes, ah, Mr. Speaker,

02:06:19Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002434

the Department takes note of the concerns

02:06:21Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002435

and the issues raised by our distinguished colleague,

02:06:25Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002437

ah, this is precisely the reason why we have to support

02:06:28Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002438

ah, the AFP modernization program

02:06:31Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002439

and the Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept.

02:06:34Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002440

This is what we want to do.

02:06:36Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002441

We want to make sure that we protect our territory.

02:06:40Source

02:06:52Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-002449

The gentleman from Partylist APEC,

02:06:54Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-002451

Representative Sergio Dagooc,

02:06:56Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-002452

is recognized.

02:06:58Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002453

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

02:07:01Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002454

Thank you, Majority Leader.

02:07:02Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002455

Magandang umaga po sa ating lahat.

02:07:05Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002456

Maiksi lang po.

02:07:07Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002457

Ah,

02:07:08Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002458

naubos na yung mga tanong ko eh.

02:07:10Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002459

Tinanong na ni,

02:07:11Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002460

ng kasabahan ko eh.

02:07:14Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002461

Ah,

02:07:14Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002462

Distinguished Sponsor,

02:07:17Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002463

Mr. Speaker,

02:07:19Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002464

ang number one issue,

02:07:21Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002465

ah, correct me if I'm wrong, no,

02:07:24Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002466

ito yung nabasa ko.

02:07:27Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002467

May performance report tayo sa Land Forces Defense Program, no.

02:07:33Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002468

The performance report shows that the Philippine Army

02:07:38Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002469

achieved only 64 percent of its 81 percent target

02:07:43Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002470

for tactical units in prescribed readiness condition,

02:07:48Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002471

and only 28 percent of its 79 percent target

02:07:54Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002472

for ready reserve units in prescribed readiness condition.

02:07:59Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002473

The SEAD report states that

02:08:02Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002474

the shortfall was partly due to the rebump of the Philippine Army readiness rating system

02:08:10Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002475

aimed at determining and resolving the capability shortfalls of existing tactical units.

02:08:17Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002476

So, the question, Distinguished Sponsor,

02:08:20Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002477

ah, is this.

02:08:21Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002478

If the readiness rating system is not suitable,

02:08:23Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002480

if the readiness rating system was changed in a way

02:08:26Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002481

that lowered the reported accomplishment,

02:08:30Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002482

how can we be sure that the Army's actual fighting capability

02:08:35Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002483

has not been overstated in the previous years?

02:08:41Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002484

Importante to sakin, dami kong mga kamag-anak dyan eh.

02:08:52Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002485

Mr. Speaker, ah,

02:08:53Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002486

the reason that, ah,

02:08:55Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002487

there has to be adjustments with standards,

02:08:58Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002488

ah, particularly because, ah, threats are also evolving.

02:09:03Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002489

So that is the reason why, ah,

02:09:05Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002490

besides that, ah,

02:09:06Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002491

the scope of the mission areas also, ah, change.

02:09:12Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002492

So that is the reason for the higher, ah,

02:09:16Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002493

well, higher standards, really like the different standards.

02:09:19Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002494

Ah, but there is an assurance that, ah,

02:09:22Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002495

hindi naman po na-overstate.

02:09:23Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002496

Yung mga, ah, mga performance, ah, indicators from previous years.

02:09:29Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002497

It's more of ngayon lang po talaga kailangan i-adjust yung standards,

02:09:33Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002498

ah, given nag-iiba po talaga yung mga threats

02:09:36Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002499

and nag-iiba rin po yung scope of, ah, mission areas.

02:09:41Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002500

Mr. Speaker.

02:09:42Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002501

Ah, naintindihan ko po, no?

02:09:45Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002502

Ah, however, is there, ah, concrete steps that the Department has taken

02:09:53Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002503

to ensure that this revamp will actually improve unit readiness

02:09:59Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002504

and not simply change the way readiness is measured on paper?

02:10:13Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002505

Talagang totohanan po ito.

02:10:50Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002518

Ah, Mr. Speaker,

02:10:52Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002519

This is a continuing process.

02:10:55Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002520

May rescoping po talaga

02:10:56Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002521

and rescaling.

02:10:59Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002522

But

02:11:00Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002523

the idea is that

02:11:02Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002524

we always upgrade.

02:11:05Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002525

We adjust based

02:11:06Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002526

on the current threats and also we have to

02:11:08Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002527

meet those targets and those standards

02:11:10Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002528

that we set.

02:11:13Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002529

Lastly na lang,

02:11:15Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002530

if the readiness rating

02:11:18Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002531

revamp was intended,

02:11:20Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002532

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

02:11:22Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002533

to determine unresolved

02:11:24Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002534

capability shortfalls,

02:11:26Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002535

why did the actual

02:11:28Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002536

accomplishment drop so sharply

02:11:30Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002537

from 81%

02:11:32Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002538

target

02:11:34Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002539

to 64% actual

02:11:36Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002540

for tactical units

02:11:38Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002541

and from 79%

02:11:40Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002542

to 28%

02:11:42Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002543

actual for

02:11:44Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002544

ready reserve units?

02:11:48Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002545

Bakit po ganun ka ano?

02:11:51Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002546

Mr. Speaker,

02:11:52Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002547

the

02:11:53Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002548

indicators,

02:11:57Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002549

so the actual numbers that our

02:11:58Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002550

distinguished colleague

02:11:59Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002551

said, was

02:12:02Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002552

actually measured po

02:12:03Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002553

when we introduced those standards,

02:12:06Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002554

the new standards.

02:12:08Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002555

Kaya po, nagka-shortfall

02:12:10Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002556

kasi nag-adjust po yung

02:12:12Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002557

standards natin.

02:12:16Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002558

So, yung actual

02:12:16Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002559

number at the time, kung ano po yung

02:12:18Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002560

performance indicator, medyo

02:12:20Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002561

nagkaroon po na yung gap.

02:12:21Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002562

So, ganun po,

02:12:22Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002563

tayo ka,

02:12:23Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002564

Distinguished Sponsor, ganun po ba tayo

02:12:26Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002565

ka behind

02:12:28Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002566

nung in-adjust natin to?

02:12:30Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002567

Kaya, biglang nag-ano?

02:12:51Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002602

Yes, that would also account for the gap.

02:12:56Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002603

At the same time po, medyo dumami daw po yung domains.

02:12:59Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002604

May cyber domain na

02:13:01Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002605

mag-iba-iba po talaga eh.

02:13:04Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002606

So, parang nung in-account po yun dun sa

02:13:06Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002607

changing of the standards, talagang lumaki yung gap

02:13:09Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002608

dun sa

02:13:10Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-002609

actual versus yung target.

02:13:13Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002610

Anyway,

02:13:15Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002611

actually,

02:13:16Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002612

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,

02:13:19Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002613

tinutukan ko

02:13:21Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002614

talaga yung mga

02:13:22Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002615

aspek na yan.

02:13:24Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002616

Six pages po to, pero

02:13:25Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002617

02:13:26Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002618

I am

02:13:30Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002619

impressed by

02:13:31Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002620

the effort of

02:13:34Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002621

the God

02:13:35Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002622

Secretary

02:13:36Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002623

in resolving my

02:13:39Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002624

three years

02:13:40Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002625

issues on

02:13:43Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002626

collecting

02:13:44Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002627

hindi ko na po

02:13:49Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002628

tanong, but I am

02:13:51Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002629

just requesting na

02:13:53Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002630

tingnan tong mga

02:13:55Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002631

aspeto na to, kasi

02:13:57Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002632

may mga

02:13:59Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002633

tayo,

02:14:01Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002634

uniform personnel na

02:14:03Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002635

medyo hindi nila

02:14:05Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002636

nagustuhan yung kanilang rating

02:14:07Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002637

na

02:14:08Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002638

parang yung training

02:14:11Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002639

nila daw, parang nagiging

02:14:13Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002640

substandard pa

02:14:15Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002641

na yung iba, mga matagal na

02:14:17Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002642

kaya ko nasabi yan kasi

02:14:21Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002643

marami akong kamag-anak dyan sa

02:14:23Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002644

armed forces.

02:14:26Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002645

Before I end,

02:14:27Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002646

I would like to manifest

02:14:29Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002647

my support as usual

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002648

to the budget of

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002649

the DND,

02:14:35Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002650

the armed forces.

02:14:40Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002651

I hope

02:14:41Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-002652
