Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

Session resumed. Majority.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000044-split-2

Madam Speaker, Madam Speaker.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000044-split-3

What's the pleasure of the Honorable Tiangco?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000044-split-4

Parliamentary inquiry, Madam Speaker.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000045

What's the parliamentary inquiry of the Honorable Tiangco?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000045-split-2

Madam Speaker, gusto ko lang po malaman kung bakit nilipat po from September 24 ang budget ng House at naging September 17 po.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000045-split-3

Your question is bakit nilipat yung—

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000045-split-4

Sa original schedule po na nilabas noong September 15, ang original schedule po ng budget ng House is on September 24. Ang nangyari po niyan, inilipat po yan ng September 17.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000046

So ang tanong ko po, ano po ang dahilan kung bakit po ito nilipat ng September 17?

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000046-split-2

May we know from the Majority Leader if this is the only agency that the schedule has been changed or it encompasses other agencies as well?

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-000047

Madam Speaker, it wasn't the only agency that was moved.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-000048

I think there were several other agencies that were moved due to requests from the other departments.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000049

It was actually the deferment of two agencies.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000050

No, Madam Speaker, can you please name the agency that was moved?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000051

Because based on my record, ito lang po ang inusod. Ito lang po ang in-advance na ahensya.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000052

So kung meron po, pwede pong sabihin kung ano pong ahensya yung inusod ng mas maaga yung schedule, Madam Speaker.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000053

With the indulgence of the Honorable Toby Chango, can we proceed to the additional reference of business?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000054

No, Madam Speaker, I do not agree.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000055

While we are getting the data.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000056

No, no, no, I do not agree. Let's suspend.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000057

Session suspended.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000058

Session resumed.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000059

Majority Leader.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-000060

Madam Speaker, upon review of the schedule, the DOT, the PSA, and the Congress of the Philippines budget were all moved to a different schedule.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-000061

Madam Speaker, the DOT was moved to a later schedule.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000062

Ang tanong ko, bakit, kasi tignan niyo po, Madam Speaker, September 17 po nun, okay?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000063

September 17, meron po naman nakaschedule ng September 18.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000064

Meron nakaschedule ng September 21, 22, 23.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000065

Bakit naman doon tayo sa dulo kukuha, Madam Speaker?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000066

Traditionally, matagal na kayo dito, pag nag-uusod, ang kinukuha yung pinakmalapit.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000067

For what reason?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000068

Para makapaghanda po yung hindi lang yung departamento, kung hindi pa rin yung mga congressmen.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000069

Kasi bakit naman po maghahanda yung congressman na mag-deliberate sa isang budget na tatalakayin pa sa September 24?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000070

Siyempre, tatalakang pag-aaralan niyo po yung September 17, September 18. Una po yan.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000071

With the indulgence of the Honorable Tavi Chanko, if you may,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000072

this schedule, as arranged by the Committee on Appropriations, is not deliberated in the plenary.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000073

This is being discussed within the Committee on Appropriations.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000074

So, with the indulgence of the Honorable Tavi Chanko, if he deems it proper, he can move for the session suspended.

With 228 members responding to the call, the Chair declares the presence of a quorum.

Majority Leader?

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-000519

Madam Speaker, I move to take up additional reference of business and request that the Secretary General be directed to read the titles of bills and resolutions on first reading as well as communications and committee reports.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000520

Is there an objection?

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000521

The Chair hears none.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

The Secretary General is hereby directed to read the titles of bills and resolutions on first reading as well as messages, communications, and committee reports.

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000523

Referral to the appropriate committees.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000524

Madam Speaker, I had a pending parliamentary inquiry, so I would like to request the Majority Leader to reply to the parliamentary inquiry.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000525

May we know the parliamentary inquiry of the Honorable Chanko?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000526

Ang tinanong ko po kanina is kung bakit po nilipat yung budget ng House of Representatives magpula po September 24 papunta pong September 17.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000527

As what the Majority Leader earlier responded, the adjustment involved the proposed budget.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000528

The budget of the Department of Tourism and the Congress of the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000529

Yes, Madam Speaker, alam ko po na hindi natuloy yung sa Department of Tourism.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000530

Kaya lang po, ang ginagawa po natin, kaya po tayo nagbibigay ng schedules ng budget is para po makapaghanda yung mga members na magtanong.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000531

So kung ang budget ng House ay September 24 pa, natural po ang paghahandaan muna ay yung mga September 18, September 21.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000532

So mas logical kung doon po humugot.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000533

Kaya lang, what was the compelling reason? Ano po yung napakahalaga?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000534

Bakit inuna yung budget ng House of Representatives when traditionally nasa dulo po yan?

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000535

As I was also the presiding during that week, distinguished colleague, the reason that the budget was adjusted was that two departments were also deferred.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000536

That is DICT and DEPDEV, specifically the Philippine Statistics Authority.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000541

Hence, the adjustment of the other budgets to an earlier schedule, citing from the motion of the minority and the majority that there were no more interpellators.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000542

However, if the Hon. Changko is so much willing, we can inform the Committee on Appropriations that you be informed if in case there are other schedules.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000543

Madam Speaker, may precedent na po tayo dito.

Source

Yung budget po ng MMDA, na-terminate po yun.

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000545

Tapos, the Hon. Tino requested that

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000546

It be reopened.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000547

And pinayagan po siya to reopen.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000548

So, I'm asking for the same thing.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000549

Sa budget ng house, na sana po payagan na ma-reopen yung budget ng house.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000550

For the following reasons.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000551

Number one, noong pa lang po DBCC, on the first day, nag-request na po ako na dalhin sa committee yung budget ng house.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000552

Ngunit hindi po pumayag.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000553

So, sa plenaryo na lang po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000554

Hindi po magandang tingin.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000555

Hindi po magandang tignan na ang budget ng house, eh hindi man lang pinaliwanag dito sa plenaryo at pinasa natin.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000556

Kaya po, humihingi po ako ng reconsideration na since pinagbigyan po yung MMDA na ma-reopen,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000557

eh sana ma-reopen din po yung sa house.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000558

At tayo ay nasa isang unique na katayuan.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000559

Tayo po ang ahensya at tayo po ang sangay ng gobyerno na may kapangyarihan sa budget.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000560

Pero tayo lang rin ang sangay ng gobyerno na may control ng budget.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000561

Na gumagastos ng sariling budget.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000562

Yung ibang ahensya po na pupunta dito, pumupunta sila dito sa Kongreso para humingi ng pondo.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000563

Pero hindi po pareho yung nagbibigay at nagre-release ng pondo.

it does not mean that the leadership doesn't want to discuss the proposed budget.

very much willing to discuss this.

Section 105 of our rules states,

asr-000614

when a measure, report, or motion is approved, adopted, or lost,

the Honorable Toby Chanko was on official business,

hence, with due courtesy, Honorable Toby Chanko,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000621

your motion for reconsideration is out of order.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000622

No, Madam Speaker, it says on the next session day.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000623

We are not yet on the next session day because we have not yet adjourned.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000624

So we are still in the same session day, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000625

So you cannot use that rule, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000626

It says on the next session day.

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000627

We are still on the same session day, so it's a continuing session.

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

So dapat po kung ganyan ang gusto niyong gamitin na rule, dapat po

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

nag-adjourn po noon para next session day, eh Biyernes at hindi na po ako puwedeng mag-motion for reconsideration ngayon.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000630

I am not actually referring to the next session day.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000631

I am referring, the presiding officer, referring to a motion for reconsideration of a member

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000632

who voted with the majority insofar as the motion

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000633

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000645

A motion for reconsideration is being put forwarded by the Honorable Chanko.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000646

While the presiding officer would gladly yield,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000647

unfortunately, our rule states that only a member who had voted with the majority

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000648

can vote for the reconsideration.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000649

With that, our apologies.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000650

The motion for reconsideration is out of order.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000651

So ruled.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000652

Yes, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000653

But I think more than the rules, transparency is more important than our rules.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000654

Kasi kung gusto po natin,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000655

magigilan ng korupsyon,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000656

kailangan po may accountability.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000657

Kung wala pong accountability, kung wala pong transparency.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000658

So, but if that is your rule, then I will respect it.

the total budget of COA amounts to 14.774 billion,

which represents an increase of about 2.49%.

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

or 359.12 million, higher than the Fiscal Year 2026 level of 14.415 billion.

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

Madam Speaker, this budget will be used to support the Commission's program, activities, and operations,

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000699

and the bedrock of fiscal accountability.

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

COA does not merely look at numbers. It ensures that every single peso contributed by our hardworking taxpayers is spent efficiently, effectively, and entirely for its intended public purpose.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000702

The proposed budget is a vital investment in good governance.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000703

By equipping COA with necessary resources, we are strengthening its capability to conduct rigorous audits, expand its workforce of dedicated state auditors,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000704

and adopt digital innovations that bring greater transparency.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000705

To starve COA of resources is to weaken our defenses against waste and corruption.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000706

To support COA is to fortify the integrity of our entire bureaucracy.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000707

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000720

Ilang katanungan lamang po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000721

Unang tanong ko po, sa laki ng mandato ng COA,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000722

sapat ba ang budget nito para maisa katuparan ang mas malawak at mas mabilis na auditing laban sa korupsyon?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000723

The question is, sapat na ba ang budget ng COA as proposed?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000724

The COA proposed originally before the NEP,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000725

17 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000726

Pero ang na-approve sa NEP ay 15 billion only.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000727

Yung dalawang bilyon na pesos ay para sana yun sa technological innovations.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000728

Mga panibagong paggawa ng mga audit.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000729

Unfortunately, we failed to provide what is necessary sa pamaraan ng pag-audit ngayon.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000730

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000731

Yan po kasi yung sunod kong isa.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000732

Itatanong, doon sa kakulangan sa budget na trinopose po ng COA,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000733

ano po ang mga proyekto o programang matatamaan?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000734

At ang susunod ko pong katanungan sana,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000735

magkano sana ang nakalaan sa proposed 2027 budget na dedicated to

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000736

digital audit capabilities, data analytics, artificial intelligence, cyber security,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000737

and automated detection of anomalous transactions?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000738

Kasi po, sa panahon ngayon, alam din po yan ng COA kung gaano kahalaga ang teknolohiyang ito para mas mapabilis.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000739

at

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000740

At mas accurate po yung ating mga audit reports.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000741

To be specific, distinguished interpellator, ito po yung nabawas, natanggal.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000742

M-O-O-E para sana sa mga P254 million and P420 pesos.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000743

At saka capital outlay na P1.177 million.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000744

1 billion,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000745

177 million.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000746

So, ang budget ng kuha ngayon, walang capital outlay.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000747

Kung wala pong capital outlay, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000748

ibig sabihin, hindi nga po tayo pwedeng mag-procure

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000749

ng mga technological, ano,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000750

equipment na makakatulong sana sa pag-audit ng kuha.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000751

So, wala po.

Source

Ibig sabihin po ba sa 2027 proposed budget,

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000753

kahit SINGCO, wala pong nakalaan para doon?

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000754

To be a specific, Madam Interpellator, distinguished interpellator,

Kuha Information System Strategic Plan or ISSP,

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000759

na umabot po ng P213,686,000.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000760

At saka yung Citizen Participatory Audit or CPA,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000761

MOOE requirements, yung mga NGOs, POs na sasali sana sa auditing,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000762

40,734,000. Total po, 244?254 million 120,000.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000763

Ito po sana yung gamitin para sa MOE, you know?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000764

At saka yung capital outlay naman, yung sa building ng kuha,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000765

building and structures, 484,617,000,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

transportation equipment outlay, 5,600,000,

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000770

Ang capital outlay is 1,177,145,000.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000771

So hindi na po na-consider sa NEP.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000772

So ibig sabihin nga po, wala tayong gagamitin na pag-procure nitong mga ito?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000773

Wala po, madam.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000774

So ibig sabihin din po niyan, since wala tayong budget para dyan,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000775

maaantala po sana yung isang,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000776

teknolohiyang pwede nating magamit para mas mapalakas at mapabilis ang ating audit.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000777

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000778

Yes, maaantala po yung trabaho nila sa mga bagong panibagong paraan sana.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000779

Pero despite of it, I commend COA, you know?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000780

Kung natatandaan natin, even the meager resources we are giving them,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000781

kahit kunti, they try their best.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000782

Talagang nagsusumikap sila.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000783

Yes, we acknowledge that, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000784

Pero syempre, gusto natin na bigyan din yung kahalagahan ng teknolohiya.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000785

Sa panahon ngayon na iba na po ang nakasanayan ng mga tao,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000786

o madami na pong pagbabago, dapat po syempre yung ating audit systems can keep up.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000787

With the changes na nangyayari din, ano po?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000788

So yun lamang po ang gusto kong puntuhin na mahalaga na nababadgetan po natin yung teknolohiya

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000789

para mas mapalakas po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000790

Mamaya po, babanggitin ko po uli kung bakit mahalaga din po yung mga teknolohiyang yan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000791

On to my next question, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000792

Pagdating naman po sa coverage at sa capacity ng COA pa,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000793

ilang porsyento ng mga ehensya at LG,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000794

yung aktwal na naa-audit ng COA kada taon.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000795

Are we 100% naaabot po natin, isang daang porsyentong audit?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000796

Except barangay, mga barangay local government units,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000797

lahat po ng munisipyo, probinsya, at national agencies ay na-audit po ng COA.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000798

Kung sakali po bang meron tayong technical capacity,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000799

maaabot po ba natin up to the barangay level?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000800

If our, you know, if our...

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000801

Ano po ba ang dahilan kung bakit hindi naaabot yun?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000802

Kulang sa oras? Kulang sa resources?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000803

Ah, magandang tanong po yan.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000804

Maganda.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000805

English Interpolator.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000806

Kung merong sapat na teknolohiya.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000807

Kasi ngayon, cyclical ay yung audit ng barangay every three years lang.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000808

Sa dami, 42,000 barangays.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000809

Pero kung may sapat na teknolohiya,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000810

pwede pong gawin yearly yung audit ng barangay.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000811

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000812

Madam Speaker, pagdating naman po sa competence and integrity ng personal, paano po tinitiyak ng COA na ang kanilang mga auditors ay may sapat na training, competence at integridad upang hindi maging bahagi po ng problema?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000813

Yung tungkol po sa training, competency and capability of state auditors, upon entry po, pagpasok ng empleyado sa COA, start the training right away.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000814

At saka tuloy-tuloy na yan, hanggang tataas-tataas yan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000815

We retain them in the agency. After training po ba, may porsyento po ba dyan na umaalis? O meron po silang, kumbaga may return service or kung meron hindi po return service, may pinirmahan na kontrata na magsiserve sila ng specific period?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000816

Yung mga specialized klase ng training, may kontrata po yun na they have to return the investment ng goberno.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000817

Pero yung mga regular trainings, which is done regularly, wala naman pong kontrata yun. Yung mga specialized training lang po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000818

Do we also have, kaugnay po niyan, may budget po ba?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000819

Do we also have, na nakalaan sa pag-hire halimbawa ng mga engineers, yung mga IT specialists, yung mga specialized po na profession that can help COA detect mga highly technical din po na mga dapat na i-audit nila?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000820

Gusto [unclear] ng COA

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000821

na mag-hire ng mga specialized fields of knowledge. Limitado po yung item or plantilia ng COA. Meron silang engineer pero limited talaga.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000822

Yes po. Thank you Madam Chair, Madam Speaker. Ang punto ko po kasi, alam naman natin kung how the government processes have become increasingly complex.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000823

complex sa panahon ngayon. And dagdag re-require din po ito na matugunan natin ng personnel who have the expertise. Halimbawa sa mga infrastructure projects, meron po ba tayo dyan sapat na mga ingeniero, arkitekto, siguro kasama pa yung mga financial analysts, tama po ba ang presyong ito?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000824

Kasi ako po naniniwala kung sapat po yung ating personnel, ang know-how ng ating personnel, ang kanilang experience, ang kanilang expertise, mabilis tayong gumawa, may teknolohiya tayo, mas mabilis po nating magagawa ang audit.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000825

So ang tanong ko po sa COA, through the years, alam nyo po ito, ang sagot nyo po, wala kayong enough personnel, nag-request na po ba tayo sa DBM ng additional plantilia items?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000826

Para matugunan natin ang gap na pong ito?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000827

The COA family fully agrees with you, Madam Interpellator.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000828

Have you requested the DBM about the plantilia items that you need?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000829

Yes, the COA requested the DBM about the...

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000830

plantilia items.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000831

Maraming salamat po, madam speaker.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000832

Pagdating naman po sa effectiveness natin, ilang corruption-related audit findings nag-resulta po sa aktual na kaso o sanction noong 2025 na lamang po?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000834

Thank you for asking that, madam tripulator.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000835

Because that really ring a bell to our nation.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000836

Yung ginawa ng COA, arising from that scandal,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000862

Nagpile ng COA ng fraud audit.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000863

Nagawa ng fraud audit.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000864

At itong audit nila, yun ang ginawang basis or basihan para ma-file yun sa Ombudsman.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000865

So, more or less, about...

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000868

Bulacan alone, the epicenter of the, Bulacan alone, mga 50 cases, criminal cases, ang na-submit sa Ombudsman.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000869

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000870

Paano po nasisiguran ng COA na ang mga audit reports na ginagawa nito?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000871

Ay ano po ang sukatan na ginagamit na talagang nakakapagbawas tayo ng corruption sa gobyerno?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000872

May sukatan po ba ang COA?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000873

How do you say that COA has been effective in decreasing corruption?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000874

Anong metrics po ang ginagamit natin?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000875

Yung, ah,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000876

from the first,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000877

first step of COA's, ah, how do you call it, auditing process.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000878

Isang ahensya po, ah,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000879

upon COA's knowledge, ah,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000880

merong, ano,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000881

something's not right, so,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000882

gawan po na rin, ano yan, ah,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000883

audit, EOM, audit observation memorandum.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000884

So,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000885

the agency concerned,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000886

kapat, ano siya, ah,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000887

he has to reply or respond to the EOM.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000888

Pag ano, ah, na-satisfactory yung ano nila, ah, answer or respond,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000889

issue na po ng notice of

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000890

disallowance, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000891

Itong transaction na ito is disallowed.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000892

Tapos, after notice of disallowance, ah,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000893

yung, ah,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000894

if he cannot answer, ah, yung notice of disallowance, ah, so, yun, ah, papuntang ombudsman na yung, ano.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000895

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000896

Ahm, kasi halimbawa po may mga pagkakataon na discovery ng COA, isang malaking, ah, ah,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000897

um, anomalya.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000898

Halimbawa po, paano, anong ginagawa niya, paano nagko-coordinate halimbawa sa Ombudsman, sa DOJ, o kaya sa Kongreso para ma-flag down.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000899

So, di ba dapat ang Kongreso, in the exercise of its oversight function, makita yun para hindi naaabot ng matagal, ma-flag down na rin yung programang yun na nagkaroon ng anomalya.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000900

Yung report po ng COA ay nabibigyan po ng kopya yung House of Representatives, annual reports. At saka yung mga kaso na umabot ng Ombudsman, the COA personnel or auditors,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000901

sila po yung stand as witness for the prosecution.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000902

Yung annual audit reports, kailan po yan sinusubite ng COA sa Kongreso?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000903

Because, you know, in the past, I worked in the House of Representatives for more than three decades.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000904

Dati po, automatic.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000905

Yan, pinapadala sa mga opisina. Kahit agency annual reports, accomplishment reports, meron.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000906

Pero, itong mga recent, in the recent past, wala pong napapadala ang COA.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000907

Hindi ko po alam kung saan ninyo sa Kongreso yung sinasubmit.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000908

Usually, I check sa website, budget hearing na po, wala pa yung annual audit report.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000909

I already mentioned this during the committee hearings, kasi ang sinasabi ko po, napakahalaga.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000910

Ang annual audit reports ng COA para matulungan nyo ang Kongreso sa pag-exercise ng oversight function

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000911

at para mabusisi ng gusto yung budget ng mga ahensya. Matutulungan nyo po kami.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000912

Ang annual audit report dito sa Kongreso is within one month from June 30 to hanggang July.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000913

So, ang opisina na binibigyan,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000914

po, ng hard copy, ay ang opisina po ng Speaker of the House.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000915

Thank you, Mr. Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000916

Last question na lamang po.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000917

[unclear], Committee on Appropriations Chair.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000918

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000919

Huling question na lamang po, on transparency naman po ito and accessibility.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000920

Paano po natin nasisiguro na ang, yung mga audit reports din, ay madaling ma-access ng publiko?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000921

Kung ako nga po, medyo hirap.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000922

Nang konti.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000923

Paano pa po yung publiko?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000924

Paano ito madaling ma-access ng publiko, ng civil society, para magsilbing dagdag na bantay laban sa korupsyon?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000925

For example, Madam, yung for year 25, example lang ito.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000926

Ito po ay available sa COA website on October

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000927

31, 2026.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000928

So, ngayon, wala pa.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000929

October 31, 2026.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000930

Andiyan na po yan sa COA website.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000931

Yung annual audit report ng COA sa current, yung previous year, 2025.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000932

So, yun po.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000933

I think mga 10 months, 10 months after sa previous year.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000934

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000936

Siguro po, yun lamang ang aking mga katanungan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000937

Nais ko lang po sabihin sa huling na sa bawat pisong nasasayang sa korupsyon,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000938

isang Pilipino ang nawawalan ng servisyong dapat sa kanya.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000939

Kung tunay nating nais nawakasan ang kultura ng katiwalian,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000940

dapat nating tiyakin na ang COA ay may sapat na lakas,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000941

sapat na tao, at sapat na integridad upang bantayan ang bawat sentimo

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000942

ng kaban ng bayan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000943

Sa ganitong paraan natin, maipapakita sa sambayanan na ang gobyerno ay seryoso

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000944

laban sa korupsyon at ang tiwala ng taong bayan ay tunay na mahalaga.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-000945

Maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker, Mr. Sponsor at sa COA po.

asr-000951

para po masiguradong maayos po yung gastos ng pera ng ating mga kababayan.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000952

So, ang unang tanong ko po is,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000953

ang audit po ng COA is based on the calendar year, no?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000954

The end of December 31 of every year. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000955

Yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000956

Kailan naman po ang deadline ng paglabas ng audit report?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000957

For example po, yung December 31, 2025, kailan po ang deadline ng paglabas ng audit report niya?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000958

To be specific, Distinguished Interpellator,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000959

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-000960

completion of audit report ng ahensya, June 30.

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

Yun po ang petsa under the GAA, General Appropriation Act.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000966

Okay. So, kaya po, as of now, wala pa po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-000967

Hindi pa po napapublish ng COA

base po sa sagot nyo,

sinasabi nyo po

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001058

dahil yan po ay discretion

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001059

ng speaker. Tama po?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001115

Okay, yung pong sa kanina,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001116

Depende po kasi sa committee, chairmanship, membership,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001117

sa activities ng isang distrito.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001118

So, kaya po na ganoon ang ano.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001119

Depende po sa, for example,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001120

may mga kongurgista na membro ng mga committees, ganoon.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001121

So, ayun po, compared to iba naman na congressman,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001122

yung iba matrabaho, yung iba hindi masyadong matrabaho.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001123

Tama po. So, tinatanong ko lang po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001124

So, maliwanag na hindi po pare-pareho.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001125

Okay. Next po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001126

Ang allowed lang po ba ng certification by liquidation ay yung congressman

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001127

o may mga staff din ng congressman

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001128

o staff ng House of Representatives

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001129

na allowed ng liquidation by certification?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001130

Ito po, ang pinag-uusapan po natin dito, Honorable Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001131

ay yung audit report ng 2024 po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001132

So, congressman lang po ba ang pwede ng certification by liquidation

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001133

o pati po staff ng House of Representatives

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001134

o staff ng congressman ay allowed ng certification by liquidation?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001135

O strictly, yung congressman lang po ba?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001136

Yung pong hindi congressman o hindi representante, hindi po sila allowed.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001136-split-2

So, maliwanag po, pag may nakita po ang COA na isang empleyado ng House of Representatives

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001137

at o isang empleyado ng congressman,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001138

na hindi po nagsubmit ng mga resibo sa kanilang liquidation,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001139

eh magiging audit finding po ito.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001140

Tama po ba, Honorable Sponsor?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001141

Tama po. Tama po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001142

Okay.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001144

So, since 2024 po ang pinakahuling may audit report,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001145

magkano po ang nagastos po ng House of Representatives

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001146

sa supplies and materials noon pong 2024 base po sa COA audit report?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001147

Ah, tignan po namin yung mga records pa.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001148

Madam Speaker, sa tingin ko po, habang hindi po sumasagot,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001149

hindi po dapat gumagalaw po yung ora.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001150

Habang naghahanap silang sagot.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001154

Madam Chair, may I ask for a suspension while we are collecting the data for 2024?

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001163

yung sa supplies,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001164

meron po tayong nagasto

po ng supplies, total supplies,

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001175

Tama po yan. Doon po sa nakita ko,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001176

mukhang, sa inyo po,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001177

84 million 788,000.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001178

Tama po, Honorable

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

Doon po sa nakita ko, it's

asr-001181

84 million 790,000.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001182

So, maliit lang po, diferensya.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001183

Pero, yan po ang

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001184

nagastos. Tama po, Honorable

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001186

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001190

na ang budget na allocated

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001191

po sa item na yan,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001192

base sa COA audit report,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001193

ang inallocate po nating

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001194

budget ay

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001203

Tama po.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001205

Madam Chair, may I ask for another

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001206

suspension while collecting the data?

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001207

Session suspended.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001232

Session resumed. The sponsor may now respond to the queries of the Honorable Tiangco.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001232-split-2

May I ask, ano po yung gist ng tanong ko?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001232-split-3

Ganito po, Honorable Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001235

Dahil po doon sa COA report, halos magkatugma po tayo. Ang nagastos po sa supplies and materials for 2024, based sa COA audit report, is P84,790,000. Sa inyo po P84,788,000. Ang tanong ko po is doon sa COA report nakasulat po rin diyan magkano yung inallocate

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001236

magkano po yung binudget ng House for supplies and materials for that year. Yun po yung aking tanong. So doon po sa COA audit report nila, magkano po ang naka-indicate na binudget? Kasi mahalaga yan, pag nag-budget tayo pinagkukumpara po ng COA kung nagastos po lahat dahil hindi naman tayo pwedeng sumobra ng gastos doon sa inallocate nating pondo.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001237

Kaya ang tanong ko po, magkano po ang naka-allocate na budget for supplies and materials for 2024 based doon sa COA report of 2024? Yun po, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001238

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Interpellator. Itong mga katanungan regarding 2024 budget, and you have a copy also. So [unclear] po ito lahat.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001239

It is reflected na yung tinatanong ninyo po ay, we are basing the same answer and questions sa annual audit report of 2024. So far as per record andiyan naman yan.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001240

So more or less P939 million po. P939 million as reflected sa annual audit report.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001240-split-2

O tama po yan. So yun nga po, doon sa annual audit report, ang naka-reflect po is sa supplies and materials ang naka-budget po is

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001241

P939,870,000, ngunit ang nagastos lang is P84,790,000. Ngayon po, punta po tayo sa utilities. Confirm na lang po ng COA doon sa kanilang COA audit report: ang budget po sa utilities is P854 million pero ang nagastos lang po is P113 million more or less. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001244

Okay, Madam Speaker, so far as Annual Audit Report 2024 is reflection of the budget.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001245

Yung utility expenses. Ito ba? Utility expenses?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001246

Opo, opo.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001247

Ang kabuwang budget po ay 854.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001248

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001249

More or less.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001250

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001251

Ang nagastos po is 113 million. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001252

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001253

Okay. So doon pa lang sa supplies and materials.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001254

For 2024.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001255

Based on the audit report.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001256

Merong hindi nagastos na 855 million.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001257

At doon po sa 2024 utilities.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001258

Meron pong hindi nagastos na 741 million.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001259

So ang sunod na tanong ko po.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001260

Saan po dinala itong savings na ito?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001261

Yung 855 million.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001262

80,000.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001263

Tsaka yung 741 million.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001264

So hindi po nagastos yan.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001265

Saan po nilipat yan?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001266

Nagastusin.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001267

Base po doon sa 2024 COA Audit Report.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001278

Yung pong tanong, ang trabaho po ng COA ay nag-a-audit po ng mga nagastos, what is being spent. Then kung saan po man nadala iyon, hindi na po alam ng COA yan.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001279

That is, hindi nila alam. So ang na-audit nila, yung nagastos. So whatever savings or saan man napunta, hindi alam ng COA.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001279-split-2

Sa tingin ko po dapat alam po ng COA kung saan nilipat iyon dahil gagastusin po ulit iyon eh. So bago gastusin iyon,

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001280

kailangan pong i-realign iyon. So siguro po dapat po makita iyon.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001280-split-2

Ganito na lang po siguro, ang atin pong pinag-usapan ngayon ay ang buong budget ng COA. We are here to seek our support.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001281

Matters of the budget of the House as early as 2024, 2023. To be fair with COA, andiyan naman yung report nila, binigay na nila. If we have some speculation, suspicion, it?s not fair for COA sila yung pananagutin

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001282

kung saan man napunta ang pera. But for us here is to? they?re doing their job, andiyan naman yan as reflected sa annual audit report. Wala namang tinatago diyan, open naman yan. But to subject them to speculation, hindi na kasali ang COA diyan.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001283

Distinguished Interpellator, iyon po ang stand namin para ipaglaban natin yung COA. I think it?s no longer fair for them na tinatanong tayo tungkol sa budget ng House. Tayo ang dapat nakaalam, bakit ibang ahensya pa? This is our House, this is our budget. Dapat COA ginagawa nila ang trabaho nila.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001284

Yung mga tanong nandiyan sa annual audit report.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001284-split-2

Madam Speaker, Honorable Sponsor, wala po akong duda, hindi ko pinagdududahan yung COA. Hindi po ako nags-speculate, in fact full support po ako sa budget ng COA for the record. So wala pong tanong doon. Ito pong tanong ko ay base po sa annual

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001285

audit report nila na katungkulan nilang gawin. So sa tingin ko po wala pong masama doon sa mga tanong natin. Anyway, susunod na lang po doon sa extraordinary and miscellaneous expenses ng House, ang naka-budget po sa 2024 is P1.7 billion. Tama po? Tama po.

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

Para hindi po tayo masasayang ng panahon, ayaw ko na pong mag-respond.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001314

Any questions regarding the house, mga expenses for 2024?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001315

Kung meron namang gustong itanong ang Distinguished Interpolator, pwede ba pakisulat na lang at itanong na lang natin sa proper authorities or proper office po.

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001316

Iyon lang po ang buong kasagutan ng Distinguished Interpolator.

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001317

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, alam niyo po, yung mga katanungan ay tungkol po sa audit report ng COA.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001318

So, mandato po ng COA yan, kasama po sa mandato ng COA yan.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001319

Pero kung ayaw na pong sumagot ng Distinguished Sponsor sa kahit anong katanungan, wala naman po tayong magagawa.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001320

Then, hinto na po tayo sa pagtatanong kung ayaw na pong sumagot.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

Iyon lang po, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001323

Does the Honorable Chanko have further questions?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001324

Wala na po, kasi sinabi na po ng ating sponsor na hindi na po siya sasagot sa kahit anong tanong.

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001325

So, paano pa po ako mag-tatanong kung iyon po ang desisyon?

Source

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco

asr-001326

Hindi na rin po ako pwede magtanong, Madam Speaker.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

I believe the Distinguished Sponsor is actually willing to respond to questions.

asr-001419

Ito po ba ay tungkol halimbawa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001420

sa diversion of funds?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001421

Halimbawa, meron din po kasing

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001422

observation ang Philippine Commission on Women

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001423

na tinatrato itong parang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001424

contingency or reserve funds.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001425

O kaya naman,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001426

may kinalaman po ba ito sa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001427

bloating,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001428

cost inflation?

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001429

May kinalaman ba ito sa over-tagging?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001430

Ibig sabihin po,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001431

pagkalaki-laking mga pondo

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001432

sa kanilang mga programa ang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001434

ginamit sa gender and development,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001435

samantalang kung susuriin mo naman po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001436

kung paano ito ginamit,

Source

asr-001437

ay wala naman pong kinalaman

asr-001442

na gusto na pagkapantay-pantay,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001443

na ito po ay hindi lang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001444

magsisilbi sa mga kababaihan,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001445

kundi pati na rin sa mga kalalakihan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001446

at sa lahat ng kasarihan.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001447

Iyon po ang basihan

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001448

na bakit po

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001449

merong audit observation,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001450

yung paggamit ng

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

GAD funds,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001453

GAD na pondo,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001454

sa kadahilanan

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001455

na ito po ay

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001456

not in accordance sa

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001459

Philippine Commission on Women.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001460

So, iyon po ang

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001461

main reason,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001462

or

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001463

the gist of

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001464

the AOM.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001465

Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001466

Meron po kasing halimbawa,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001467

meron po tayong mga agencies

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001468

at meron po tayong

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001469

mga

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001470

mga councils kung saan po

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001474

Sing laki ng mga

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001475

kalaking tipak ng pondo, halimbawa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001476

sa DOLE, yung kanilang tupad

na tagged na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Pero kung susuriin po natin

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001480

kung paano ba ito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001481

na ibigay at

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001482

na bigay na support na para

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001483

sa mga displaced workers, hindi naman po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001484

natin makita kung paano

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001485

talagang na-integrate

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001486

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001487

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001488

paano ba matitiyak

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

pa yung minimum na ginagastos

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001509

for GAD utilization.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001510

Mahirap pong pag-usapan

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001511

yung pagtaas nito kung

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001512

ngayon pa lang dun sa minimum na

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001513

5%, ay hindi na po natin

ay

Mayroon na po

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001755

yun po ang

Source

asr-001756

mga

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001757

observation

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001758

na ginagawa

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001759

or

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001782

Mga effort ng COA ngayon na baguhin ang guidelines sa paggamit ng confidential and intelligence funds.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001783

Mr. Speaker, kailan po ilalabas itong revised guidelines on the use of Confidential and Intelligence Funds?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001784

At ano po yung mga mayor na pagbabago sa mga guidelines na ito?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001785

So, sa ngayon po, because it involves a lot of agencies, tinatrabaho na po.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001786

Ang ginagawa ng ano, ito yung mga observation na dapat baguhin.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001787

Yung use of aliases or code names.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001788

Yung tungkol sa evidence of success, yung mga rewards.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001789

Tungkol sa mga allowed experiences.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001790

At saka yung hanggang saan ang clearance ng auditor.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001791

Security clearance ng mga auditor.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001792

At saka yung paggamit ng mga generic acknowledgement receipts.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001793

So, ito po ang mga pagbabago na ginagawa ngayon.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001794

Working progress po ito.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001795

As to when, I think, within the soonest possible time.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001796

Hindi pa maibigay ng COA kung kailan matapos.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001797

But there are now efforts to really revise that 2015 Memorandum Circular.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001798

Mr. Speaker, bakit hindi po kasama dito yung pagbabawal?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001799

Ay may kinalaman sa National Security Law Enforcement and Investigation.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001800

Hindi po ba panahon na para malinaw na may prohibition sa paggamit ng confidential funds,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001801

ng intelligence funds, ang mga civilian agents?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001802

Mr. Speaker, it is Congress, tayo po mismo,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001803

ang naggawa ng mga guidelines through our GAA for what we call the Provisional Conditions.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001804

Tayo mismo, sino yung dapat bigyan at hindi bigyan.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001805

So,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001806

that is yung ginagawa natin.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001807

Yan ang ginagawa natin.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001808

Tayo mismo ang nag-identify sinong bigyan at saka hindi bigyan.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001809

So...

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001810

Mr. Speaker, kung magbibigay po ng rekomendasyon ang COA,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001811

what would you recommend with regard to the use of confidential and intelligence funds by civilian agencies?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001812

Ito po yung mga dapat na mangyari.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001813

Yung observation ng COA, yun na, ang paggamit ng resibo, very generic.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001814

Yung paggamit ng mga aliases.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001815

Or code names, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001816

At saka yung rewards, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001817

Ano bang dapat bigyan ng rewards?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001818

Dahil ba success?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001819

Ano yung evidence of success, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001820

At saka yung allowed expenses.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001821

Ano ba yung mga dapat na expenses na allowed, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001822

Or hindi, allowed.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001823

So, yun po ang mga minamungkahi ng COA, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001824

Regards this Confi and Intelligence Fund.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001825

Yung IDUS naman,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001826

ang LGUs, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001827

Meron rito mga intelligence and confidential funds, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001828

So,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001829

minamungkahi po ng COA, ang DILG,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001830

na maggawa din sila ng sarili nilang guidelines, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001831

Paano gamitin, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001832

Although, meron joint circular,

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001833

pero,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001834

so, hopefully, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001835

Hopefully, soon, nalabas na yung bagong revised guidelines.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001836

Para naman, to answer or respond to the call of the people,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001837

yung paggamit ng mga intel and confi funds.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001838

Mr. Speaker, wala bang maibibigay sa atin na espesipiko na petsa, na buwan,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001839

kung kailan po natin mapagtitibay at mapapalakas ang mga guidelines na ito?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001840

Mahalaga po ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001841

Dahil ngayon pa lang,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001842

meron na sa ating mga general provisions

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001843

ang tungkol sa paggamit ng confidential and intelligence funds.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001844

At nararapat lang na yung mga rekomendasyon sa pagpapalakas nito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001845

ay mailabas na agad ng COA at ang ibang mga agencies,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001846

mga departamento,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001847

na kabilang sa pagpapalakas nito.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001848

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001849

as to when,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001850

kung kailan lalabas ito,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001851

COA will do its best effort.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001852

Kung COA lang ang masusunod within the year.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001853

Pero ang problema,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001854

meron pang ibang ahensya.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001855

Enter agencies coordination,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001856

lalo ng DBM.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001857

Tagal, daming daanan.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001858

So,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001859

siguro remotely,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001860

sa mga first semester of next year hanggang June of next year,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-001861

may lalabas ng bagong guidelines sa paggamit ng CONFIE and Intel Fund.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001862

Mr. Speaker, nakita na rin natin sa mga deliberasyon dito sa Kongreso

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001863

kung paano pong napakahirap i-audit nitong confidential and intelligence funds

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001864

dahil nga sa nature nito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001865

Na kaya kung pwede pa natin mas ma-restrict,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001866

no,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001867

ma-linaw.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001868

Halimbawa,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001869

na lang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001870

ang matagal nang mungkahi na huwag nang payagan ang mga civilian agencies

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001871

na gumamit ng ganitong tipo ng mga pondo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001872

Dahil lahat naman ang nasa mandato nila,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001873

pwede nilang gawin.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001874

No?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001875

Nang may transparency,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001876

may accountability,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001877

nang hindi gumagamit ng ni-piso ng confidential and intelligence funds.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001878

Kaya po, sa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001879

ang tamang panahon dito sa plenaryo,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001880

tayo po ay mag-

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001881

mananawagan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001882

ng malakas,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001883

natanggalin po yung pagpayag,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001884

sa paggamit ng civilian government agencies ng confidential and intelligence funds

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001885

na nakapaloob mismo sa ating panukala para sa susunod na taon sa Fiscal Year 2027,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001886

nakalagay po sa ating Seksyon 92,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001887

nakalagay po dito na pinapayagan gumamit ang civilian government agencies ng confidential funds.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001888

Naninindigan po ang representasyon na ito na dapat na itong maibasura,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001889

dapat na itong matanggal sa mga pinapayagan natin.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001890

Para sa interes

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001891

ng mas mahigpit ng mga mekanismo para sa pananagutan.

Yung mga finlag po ito

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002058

So, kaya po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002060

since last year,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002061

may mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002062

questions

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002063

regarding the clear conflict of interest.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002065

That we have a Commissioner of COA

asr-002085

kontra sa corruption.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002086

Okay. Ano po,

komisyoner ay asawa.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002175

si Komisyoner Lipana.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002176

Actually, last year pa po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002177

during the budget deliberations last year,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002178

ay kinukumusta na natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002179

at gusto rin sana nating

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002180

matanong directly,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002181

lalo na at the budget briefing level

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002182

sa Komisyoner Lipana, pero even at the time

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002183

sinabi na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002184

on sick leave na siya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002185

Last year pa, gano'ng katagal na pong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002186

naka-sick leave itong si

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002187

Komisyoner?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002188

Komisyoner Lipana, at hanggang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002189

kailan pa po ang kanyang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002190

sick leave?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002191

Yung pong

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002192

pag-sick leave ni

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002193

Komisyoner Lipana,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002194

halos buwan-buwan po

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002195

pumupunta siya sana sa labas

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002196

para mag

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002197

pa-examine, no, sa kanyang

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002198

kalagayan, karamdaman.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002199

After that,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002200

balik na naman, report for

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002201

duty, alis na naman,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002202

after a month, punta na

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002203

mga Singapore para magpagamot.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002204

Yun po ang status.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002205

On and off yung

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002206

ano niya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002206-split-2

Ah, on and off po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002207

So, ibig sabihin, nagsisik leave,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002208

tapos bumabalik,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002209

nagre-report for duty, tapos pag-a-apply na naman

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002210

for leave. Ganun po ba?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002211

His condition warrants it,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002212

yung karamdaman niya. Kasi,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002213

sabi nga,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002214

pa-terminal na yung

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002215

terminal cancer,

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002216

final stage of cancer.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002217

Yes, naintindihan po natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002218

So, ang clarification nyo po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002219

hindi continuous yung kanyang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002220

sick leave.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002221

Kung hindi periodically

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002222

renewed

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002223

or applied for, parang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002224

ganun. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002225

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002225-split-2

Cumulatively,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002226

pwede po bang masabi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002227

ng commission,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002228

through the sponsor,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002229

gaano katagal na pong naka-sick leave

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002230

mula, kahit, mula,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002231

mula, mula, simula. Kailan siya

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002232

nagsimulang mag-sick leave?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002233

Hanggang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002234

sa kasalukuyang panahon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002235

For the record po.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002266

Mr. Speaker, iyong katanungan po kung cumulatively, ang nangyari po ay buwan-buwan, every month, nag-apply siya ng tatlong araw na leave.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002267

So, saka balik na naman, trabaho. To be exact, magbigay na lang po kami ng data. Ilan na talaga, ilang buwan na yung ano niya, since 2025 up to the present.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002268

Okay, please. So, in writing po, kung pwede, para lang malaman natin. So, hindi naman pala continuous ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002269

And just to clarify, yung mga commissioner po ba ng COA, are they covered by the same guidelines on sick leave as other employees of government?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002270

Di ba, may mga limitasyon lang yan, di ba? Hindi only ang sick leave, tama po ba? Okay. So, hindi po.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002271

Cover lang po lahat, pareha lang po ang…

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002272

Pareho lang sa mga empleyado, therefore, may hangganan din po, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002273

Yes.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002274

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002275

Sige, intayin na lang po natin. Pero ito na po ang tanong. Ibig po sabihin, panapanahon lang. So, tuloy pa rin po, for the most part, the COA can say na nagagampanan pa rin ni Commissioner Lipana ang kanyang tungkulin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002276

Is he still able to discharge his duties as COA Commissioner despite his health condition?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002277

That requires him to avail of sick leave periodically, every month, apparently. Nagagampanan pa rin po ba niya, ang kanyang mga tungkulin bilang Commissioner?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002278

Nagagampanan po naman ni Commissioner Lipana yung trabaho niya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002279

Nagagampanan po. So, in other words, the Commission en banc, yung tatlong miyembro, ay fully functioning.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002280

Ibig sabihin, kung nangangailangan ng…

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002281

Decision, no? Merong mga resolution o merong mga kaso. Halimbawa, itong Notice of Disallowance, ay available po yung tatlong Commissioner at yung tatlong nagpapasya. Ganun pa rin po?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002282

Kahit po wala si Commissioner Lipana, ang Commission itself, nagagampanan namin nila yung remaining dalawang Commissioner, they are still doing their… they can do their job.

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002283

Even without Commissioner Lipana.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002284

Okay, they can do their jobs. I have no doubt, they can do their jobs. Pero ang tanong ko lang po, hindi po ba may mga pagkakataon na kailangan yung buong Commission? O sapat na yung dalawa?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002285

Paano halimbawa, kung merong opinion na magkaiba yung dalawa, how will that be settled? Wala bang ganun?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002286

So far naman po, sapat na po yung…

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002287

Dalawa. So far, no? Wala naman silang mga pagtunggali between their opinions.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002288

Okay, so far wala. And para malinawan lang po, pwede po ba mag-issue ng mga resolution, decision, and so on, ang en banc na dalawa lang sa tatlo ang nakapirma? Pwede na yun?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002289

Pwede po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002290

Pwede? Dahil ang requirement, basta majority, ganun po ba?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002291

Majority po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002292

Ah, okay. Alright.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002293

So, ngayon, kung sakaling umabot po sa, sabi nyo, merong notice of disallowance involving the wife of Commissioner Lipana na nasa lower level pa, no?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002294

Cluster 7 po. Cluster 7.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002295

Cluster 7. Eventually, tama po, aabot yan sa en banc. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002296

Ano po mangyayari?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002297

Will the Commissioner Lipana be involved in…

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002298

Be decision-making on that resolution?

Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002299

Kung aabot sa Commission en banc level, mag-inhibit si Commissioner Lipana.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002300

Okay. Okay, Mr. Speaker, yun po ang pangunahing concern natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002301

Marami pong mga…

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002302

Nakatutok sa Commission on Appointments ngayon at ang pagtingin nga ay may cloud.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002303

Merong question sa credibility ng Commission dahil ang isa sa kanilang, isa sa tatlong Commissioner ay, yun nga, asawa ng isang contractor na sabi na rin ng COA na issuean pa ng notice of disallowance

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002304

kaugnay sa flood control or DPWH contracts, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002305

So, kaya po, sinikap nating linawin ano ba talaga ang status nitong si Commissioner Lipana at ngayon malinaw na nagpapatuloy pa rin siya sa kanyang panunungkulan panapanahong nag-a-avail ng sick leave at, well,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002306

merong pahayag dito na kung sakaling may conflict of interest, magkakaroon ng conflict of interest, mag-inhibit ang Commissioner.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-002307

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-002316

I'd just like to reiterate my extreme concern on the lowering of the budget on capital outlay for the COA as this is a critical part in their efforts to digitize and to

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-002318

computerize the systems within this critical government agency. And I hope that at a certain point, we'll be able to restore the necessary capital outlay for the COA.

ang rekomendasyon pa rin po is lease

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002666

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002672

Tama po. Bago ako magpatuloy,

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002673

nais kong maging malinaw. Hindi ko

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002674

hinihiling na automatikong igawad

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Automated Election Contract.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002677

Hindi ako kumakampi sa anumang

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002678

supplier. Ang hinihingi

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002679

ko ay simple at makatwiran:

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002680

huwag isara ng Comelec ang

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002681

pinto sa 110,620

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002682

machines

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002683

na ginamit noong 2025

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002684

national and local

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002685

elections bago pa man

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002686

magkaroon ng independent

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002687

at financial evaluation.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002688

Sa gitna ng fiscal crisis,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002689

habang binabawasan ang pondo para

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002690

sa edukasyon, kalusugan at social

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002691

services, kailangang patunayan ng

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002692

Comelec na ang paggastos ng

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002693

humigit-kumulang 23 billion

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002694

para sa brand-new

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002695

fleet ay

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002696

tunay na kinakailangan, hindi lamang

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002697

dahil iyon ang gusto o mas komportable

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002698

para sa ahensya.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002699

Ang tanong ay hindi kung bago

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002700

ang makina. Ang dapat na

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002701

tanong: secure

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002702

ba?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002703

Maaasahan ba? Sapat ba ang performance?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002704

At alin ang pinakamabuti para sa bayan?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002705

Dahil kung

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002706

puwede naman yung nagamit

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002707

natin na may 99.997

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002708

percent na

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002709

accuracy,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002710

bakit hindi natin puwedeng gamitin?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002711

Bakit hindi natin payagan?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002712

Ang ibigay nating

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002713

parameters hindi brand new.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002714

Kasi po pag brand new,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002715

tinatanggal mo na yung dati na

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002716

puwede pa naman.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002717

Sabi ninyo nga kanina,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002718

1.2 billion lang ang nagastos

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002719

for 7,000

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002720

machines. Kung kukuwentahin ninyo yan,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002721

we only spend around 15 billion

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002722

kung gagamitin natin

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002723

yung nagamit natin sa BARMM

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002724

ngayon. Pero kung

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002725

bago, 23 billion.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002726

8 billion.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002727

Bakit hindi po ito tiningnan

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002728

ng Commission

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002729

on Elections? Ano po ang dahilan?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002730

Bakit brand new? Pangalawa,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002731

alam ninyo noong

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002732

2025 national elections,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002733

ako po ay nagpetisyon sa Korte Suprema.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002734

Kinuwestiyon ko rin bakit hindi natin

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002735

gamitin yung binili

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002736

ng

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002737

gobyerno

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002738

sa Smartmatic.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002739

Sabi nila

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002740

hindi na raw puwede, obsolete

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002741

na raw. Ngayon po ba itong

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002742

Miro na ginamit natin

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002743

na one time pa lang, obsolete na ba ito?

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002744

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002745

distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002746

hindi naman po obsolete, pero yung

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002747

kontrata po during that time ng ating

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002748

2025 elections ay

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002749

lease contract po talaga ang nasa terms of reference.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002750

Hindi po ba natin puwedeng

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002751

payagan na hindi brand new

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002752

ang

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002753

i-le-lease natin sa 2028

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002754

elections kung

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002755

mapapatunayan naman na puwede pa

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002756

at kasing kalidad ito ng brand new?

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002757

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002758

puwede pa rin naman po

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002759

pag-aralan, lalo na po

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002760

hindi pa po final

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002761

ang nakasaad sa ating terms of reference.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002762

So ibig pong sabihin puwede

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002763

pang mabago yung terms of reference

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002764

na ang kukunin nating

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002765

sistema ay brand new?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002766

Puwede pa pong mabago.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002767

Puwede pa pong mabago,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002768

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002769

At sana kung mababago man o hindi,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002770

dapat po may malinaw na batayan

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002771

ang Commission on Elections.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002772

Hinihiling natin na magbigay sila,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002773

kasi po wala pa namang...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002776

Wala pa akong nakikita na pag-aaral patungkol po sa kung ano ang requirements ng Commission on Elections

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002777

para sa gagamiting mga machines for 2028 at hindi po natin tinignan yung possibility na maggamit itong 110,000 machines.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002778

Ito po, narito na. Ito po, hindi na ito mamanufacture. Kung kinakailangan, pwede lang i-upgrade.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002779

Makakamura tayo dito, akon, tinataya ko, 8 to 10 billion.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002780

Ang masasave natin kung gagamitin natin ito, kung mananalo sa biding, kung hindi natin babawalan yung hindi brand new.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002781

Dito po, sa draft na terms of reference,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002782

pag hindi brand new, hindi na pwede.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002783

Yun ang masakit. 110 million. Nandito na po. Nandito na.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002784

Ano po ba ang Manufactured Certified Useful Life ng Makina ng Miro na ginamit natin noong 2025 National and Local Election?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002785

Tatlong taon lang ba? Limang taon? O sampung taon? O higit pa?

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002786

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, pwede po siyang gamitin for three elections po talaga yung kapasidad po ng ating mga makita na pin-provide po ng ating provider ng Miro.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002787

So may independent engineering report po ba ang Comelec na nagsasabing magiging functional o secure pa ang mga makina.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002788

Ito for 2028?

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002789

So, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, base po ito sa DOST certification po at international certification entity na nagkakondak po ng verification po sa ating mga makina.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002790

So yun po ang kanilang ginamit.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002791

May particular component po ba ang mga makinang ito na magiging obsolete pagdating ng 2028?

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002792

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, baka po yung scanner lang po yung kailangan palitan.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002793

Kung sa the rest, processor okay lang po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002793-split-2

Battery, modem, operating system, security module, scanner lang po?

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002794

Ang isa pang recommendation ng Commission ay yung fan po kapag medyo mainit po yung presinto.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002797

May mga cases po kasing nag-o-overheat yung ating makina. Yun po yung iniisip po nila o nire-recommend nilang idagdag sa terms of reference para po maiwasan yung overheating ng mga makina.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002798

Maaari po bang hilingin sa Comelec na bago magdesisyon sa final na terms of reference ng bidding for the 2028 election ay magharap ng independent engineering study ang Comelec na naghahambing

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002799

continued use with ordinary maintenance, refurbishment and upgrading, partial replacement ng defective units at complete replacement na mahigit

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002800

110,000 brand new machines? Kung pwede po magkaroon tayo ng comparative cost analysis at kung ano yung mga technical advantages ng bawat isa.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002801

Pwede po, oo. Mr. Speaker, open po ang komisyon sa ganyang question. Kailangan lang rin po ng tulong po ng DOST kasi sila po yung namamahala po,

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002802

with regard po sa technical specifications.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002803

Mahalaga po na maipaabot to.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002804

Sa pagkat gusto, ang kailangan natin sa Kongreso, mapatunayan na yung 23 billion talagang kailangan sa paggastos at panggastos ng bayan.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002805

Alam nyo naman na nakikita naman natin na napaka kaunti ng fiscal space natin ngayon. Only 16% lang po ang fiscal space natin.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002806

At yung 8-10 billion na matitipid ay napakalaking bagay para sa ibang mga pangangailangan ng ating bayan.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002807

Gusto ko rin pong tanungin ng Comelec. Noong 2025 elections ay nagpakita ng humigit kumulang 99.997 accuracy ang mirror systems. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002808

Tama po, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002809

But accuracy is not the only measure. Kaya hinihingi namin ang buong performance record.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002810

Ilang machine ang na-deploy? Ilan ang hindi nag-start? Ilan ang nag-malfunction habang bumoboto ang publiko?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002811

Ilan ang na-repair? Ilan ang kinakailangang palitan? Ilan ang hindi nakapag-transmit electronically?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002812

Ilan ang kinakailangang gumamit ng alternative transmission? Gano'ng katagal ang average waiting time para sa replacement?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002813

Ilang election protests ang direktang naugnay sa machine counting errors? Anong defects ang hindi kayang ayusin sa pamagitan ng ordinary repair or upgrade?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002814

Hindi ko lang po hinihingi na sagutin ito ngayon. Hinihingi ko lang po na maibigay sa atin yung mga sagot na ito sa lalong madaling panahon.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002815

Yes, Mr. Speaker. The Commission will comply. Ia-add lang rin po nila yung reports during the BARM elections rin po para po makonsolidate yung data.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002816

Regarding doon sa...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002817

Lilinawin ko rin po ulit. Hindi po nagrekomenda ang Comelec Advisory Council na ang gamitin natin for the 2025 elections ay brand new machines.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002818

Hindi po, Mr. Speaker. More on technical issues lang po yung kanilang po narekomenda.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002819

Nag-recommend ba ang Advisory Council laban sa reuse?

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002820

Hindi po, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002821

Paano po nailagay yung brand new doon sa Terms of Reference? Hindi ba inuunahan ng Comelec ang isang technical question na ipinagkatiwala ng Batas Advisory Council?

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002822

Hindi naman po kasi, Mr. Speaker, finafinalize pa rin naman po yung TOR. Any suggestion coming from our colleagues and other partners po, welcome na welcome naman po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002823

But it was not discussed in the meeting.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002824

It was not discussed in the meeting of the Comelec Advisory Council whether... Kasi po, napaka-critical nung reuse because it can save 8 to 10 billion pesos. Bakit hindi ito napag-usapan sa Comelec Advisory Council?

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002825

Well, Mr. Speaker, more importantly, hindi po kasi parte ang Comelec ng Comelec Advisory Council. So, kaya hindi po siya napag-usap.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002826

Ay, wala pong say ang ating komisyon.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002827

kung ano po yung

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002828

rekomendasyon po ng ating CAC.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002829

Yung pagtatali po sa brand new hindi naman po nila minamandato.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002830

Pero, dahil po medyo rapid po yung changing technologies po ngayon, yun po yung naiisip o nai-envision po ng ating komisyon na gamitin para po mas sigurado dahil nga po may mga certain issues po ng overheating na na...

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

Ibig pong sabihin, sa napakahalagang issue ng reuse, ay hindi po pinag-usapan ng Comelec Advisory Council ito?

Hindi po napag-usapan ng ating CAC ang ating kanyang rekomendasyon po, Mr. Speaker, kasi hindi po talaga parte ang Comelec ng CAC.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

So, ibig pong sabihin, binibigyan ng CAC ang Comelec ng Blanket Authority dating po sa issue ng reuse. Tama po ba yan?

Sabalit, ito po ay isa sa pinakamahalagang technical issue, whether reuse is possible.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002838

Bakit hindi pinag-usapan?

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002839

Ito po ba ay, ano, kailangan pang ang inyong lingkod ang magpaalam sa Comelec Advisory Council para hihingin ang kanilang opinion pagdating po sa issue ng reuse?

Nagsagawa ba ang Comelec ng cost analysis bago nito iminungkahi ang 23 billion halaga?

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002846

Yes po, Mr. Speaker, nagkasagawa po ng market scoping ating pong Comelec.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Please, on how did you arrive with 23 billion?

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002849

Ang base po sa kanilang market scoping, ang presyo po na kailangan niya ay 25.6 billion.

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002855

Ang estimate price po niya, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, mga 180,000 per machine po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002856

Nagsagawa po ba ang Comelec ng consultation regarding sa mga posibilidad?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002857

Halaga ng reuse, halaga ng reuse ng 2025 machines, halaga ng upgrading, halaga ng pag-lease lamang ng karagdagang machines,

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002858

halaga ng isang completely new system at expected useful life at residual value ng bawat opso.

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002859

Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, sa ngayon wala pa po na nagagawa on the study regarding sa reuse po.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002860

So, habang pina-finalize pa po yung ating TOR, wala pa pong final say ang ating pong Comelec regarding that matter.

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

And, iniintay rin pong matapos rin po yung final counting nung sa Bangsamoro.

Nagtataka lang po ako, Mr. Speaker, na we arrive at 23 billion without doing all these matters.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002863

Bakit hindi mo natin ginawa ito?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002864

So, upang na...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002865

Pagkaharap sa budget, dito po, pag-ingin ng budget sa ating bayan, alam natin kung ano yung cost effective.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002866

Ngayon po, hindi natin alam kasi.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002867

Hindi natin alam kung gagamitin natin yung dating machine kung kano ba ang magagasos natin.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002868

Gaya nga ng sinabi ko kanina, logically, mas mura yung magamit na natin.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002869

Kung po pwede ba?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002870

Sapagkat nandito na yung mga machines. Wala na yung logistics cost.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002871

So, ngayon po, kung tatanungin ko kayo, hindi nyo po masasagot kung magkano yung repurbish cost at upgrading cost nung Miro machine kung ito ang gagamitin natin.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Saka mo malalaman.

Alam ko naman kung ano yung cost. Pero yung estimated cost ng reuse compared to a brand new machine.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002876

Mr. Speaker, as of now po, hindi pa po napafactor in yung presyo ng ating pag-referbish ng mga nagamit na dahil hindi pa nga po final yung TOR.

Source

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002877

Tapos...

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002879

What does it mean that the Commission on Elections is hell-bent on leasing a brand new machine?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002880

Because they did not factor in existence of these old machines.

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

asr-002881

Mr. Speaker, hindi naman po sila hell-bent to lease new machines.

Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan

Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, more on additional machines po, yung kakailanganin din, kailangan po mag-input ng ibang measures para po yung mga issues na experienced po noong 2025 elections, pati nitong BARM, iayos na rin po, ma-incorporate po sa ating mga machines na i-release, if ever, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Maaari bang i-upgrade ang memory, modem, batteries, o processors?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002891

Kung mas marami ang precincts, bakit hindi na lamang mag-lease o kumuha ng karagdagang machines?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002892

Kaysa halip na palitan ng 110,620 machines.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002893

Kailangan siguro po ay i-quantify talaga ng COMELEC yung additional workload, tukuyin ang eksaktong hardware limitation bago tayo mag-desisyon.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002894

Kung walang malinaw na sagot, ang mas complex na presidential election ay slogan lamang, hindi bidding, sapagkat nakita ko po maraming mga violations.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002895

In fact,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002896

One of my allegations was gumamit lang yung Miro ng isang kumpanya para maabot yung kanyang contracting capacity.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002897

At yung kumpanya po na yan ay yung mga nakakulong na ngayon.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002898

Siguro po, alam nyo.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002899

So, mahalaga po na maging malinaw in terms of reference natin para hindi masisentro baka mangyari yan isang bidder na naman.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-002900

Baka yung terms of reference ay tailored fit sa isang bidder.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Siguro po, sa akin naman po, it's more of a caution rather than an accusation.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003229

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003230

So, lahat po ba, have all agencies already established a public assistance and complaint desk or your ARTA help desk?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003231

And is it also properly staffed to handle walk-in complaints, increase in feedback?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003232

So, lahat na po, ano pong porsyento ng mga opisinang meron ng ARTA help desk?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003233

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003234

So, lahat na po meron?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003235

Minsan po kasi, Mr. Speaker, I've had this experience just last year.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003236

In one of the agencies that you mentioned, sa mga nasa top 10, meron po silang ARTA help desk, pero wala pong personnel.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003237

So, yung personnel po, diba, the agency is mandated, sila po dapat ang magpo-provide ng personnel, tama?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003238

Yes, the agency, not the ARTA.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003239

So, how does ARTA check kung totoo yung mga help desk na yun ay properly manned talaga?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003240

Because they can always say, yung agency na yan or office na yan has established a help desk, but wala din pong tao yung help desk.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003241

Yeah, I hear your frustration.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003242

Actually, it's supposed to be under the law, agencies are all required to establish this ACD.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003243

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003244

Yung tanong ko po, Sana, how do you ensure, meron bang routine inspection na ginagawa ang ARTA to ensure that hindi lang help desk kang nandodon?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003245

Dapat po talaga may tao the whole day to receive complaints?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003246

Actually, we have a compliance inspection and I'm sorry of what had happened.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003247

Definitely, in the future, they will be doing that.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003248

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003249

Also, have all agencies established the Committee on Anti-Red Tape or yung CART?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003250

Lahat din po ba meron ng CART sa lahat ng opisina?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003251

Ito po yung nag-I understand, yung nag-o-oversee po ng compliance with ARTA rules in each agency.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003252

And if, actually, if they're not compliant, they will be liable.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003253

As of the present, the compliance rate is 70%.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003254

Ah, 70%. So, ano pa pong agency? So, madami-dami pa pong walang CART sa mga agencies nila.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003255

So, what will we do in order to force them to establish the CART?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003256

Because it is a mandate under the ease of doing business law.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003257

They will be issued notices to explain.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003258

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003259

Meron na rin po ba, lahat din po bang agencies, meron ng Citizens Charter?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003260

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003261

Have we issued...

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003262

98% compliance.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003263

98%.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003264

Have we ensured that of this 98% to have complied with the Citizens Charter requirement,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003265

ay talaga pong sinusunod yung Citizens Charter?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003266

Kasi pwede rin pong compliance lang.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003267

So, how can ARTA find out? Do we find out which ones are just complying

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003268

or which ones are following the Citizens Charter to the letter?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-003269

Thank you.

To simplify, to bureaucrat,

asr-003348

po ang self-rating ng ARTA.

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003358

If he wishes to wield some questions from this representation.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003359

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003360

My topic will be the monitoring and evaluation of EBOS implementation.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003361

My question, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, let us examine ARTA's primary operational line item,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003362

the monitor and evaluate compliance to RA-11032 activity under the...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003363

...of doing business and efficient delivery of government services program in fiscal year 2026.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003364

This activity received 153 million.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003365

In 2027 fiscal year, NEP, NEP, it drops to 91 million.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003366

So there's a difference of 40 percent, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003367

More critically, the activities, MOEs is lost from 77.8 percent,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003368

from 90 million and to just 20 million in 2027.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003369

Is this budget reduction consistent with ARTA's mandate to eliminate bureaucratic red tape?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003370

Mr. Speaker, since 2019, ARTA has been actively capacitating LGUs

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003371

to the need to set up and operationalize...

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003372

...the electronic business, one-stop shop for the permits and licenses.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003373

And this is being done in collaboration with the ICP.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003374

Mr. Speaker, my question is about 2026 vis-a-vis to 2027 budget.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003375

Masyado malaki yung ibinaba.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003376

So let's concentrate from 2026 to 2027, wag na yung 2019, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003377

So bakit bumaba ng ganito kalaki?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003378

Ang inyong budget.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003379

Ito ba'y inconsistent ho ba ito sa tinatawag natin to eradicate or eliminate bureaucratic red tape?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003380

Gusto ko lang malaman bakit masyado binaba ng inyong budget.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003381

Actually, Mr. Speaker, this reduction runs contrary to ARTA's direction of expanding its reach

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003382

and strengthening the implementation of Republic Act No. 11032.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003383

The proposed cut...

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003384

...constraint ARTA's capacity to assist and capacitate government agencies in complying with the law

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003385

directly affecting its mandate to reduce, if not eliminate, red tape in government services.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003386

In short, Mr. Speaker, with the reduced budget, so you cannot do your work properly,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003387

ganun ba lumalabas dito?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003388

Because, you know, anti-red tape is supposed to have more budget.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003389

Now, because of this big cut...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003390

So, you're telling me now, of course, not you, Distinguished Sponsor, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003391

the red tape cannot work properly with the reduced budget.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003392

Yes.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003393

Am I right?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003394

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003395

It will also delay ongoing systems government intended to speed up complaints handling.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003396

So, Mr. Speaker, so how come when they send your budget, you know, to DBM, and, of course, it has to be justified,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003397

how come...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003400

...how come you allow them, and it's not a small amount, it's a huge amount, from one...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003401

...if I'm not mistaken, from 153 to 91 million.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003402

So, there's a slush of over 60 million.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003403

Actually, we are requesting to...

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003404

for an additional budget in the amount of 178,855,000.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003405

Mr. Speaker, the rationale behind this one, that's why we're trying to...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003406

...to make sure that the ARTA ay mapalakas natin, to make sure to eradicate, if not totally eradicating the red tape,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003407

eh, at least, ma-minimize natin, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003408

Kasi marami na hong mga foreign investors, pagpunta rito, that's the first problem.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003409

They said that we don't want to do business in the Philippines because of the red tape.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003410

Now, with the budget cut, nakatali ang dalawang kamay nyo.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003411

Paano lang?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003412

Huwag niyong pinalalakan nyo.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003413

So, how can you do, perform properly pag gano'n?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003414

So, I think, Mr. Speaker, kailangan natin to, during budget deliberation of the second reading,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003415

kailangan natin palakasin ang hanay po ng ARTA.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003416

Pag pababa kayo ng pababa, ibig sabihin, we are not in same wisdom na palakasin ARTA, kundi pababain pa.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003417

So, definitely, we will support your budget for this, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003418

Now, moving on.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003419

Second, second interpolation.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003420

In connection to this, Mr. Speaker, ARTA's accomplishment report shows that out of 1,634 LGUs nationwide,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003421

only 127 LGUs, or 7.77%, were fully compliant with the electronic business one-stop shop.

Source

Ito ang sinasabi ko yung e-boss.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003423

We passed the law to make sure everybody follows.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003424

Especially, LGU.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003425

But the problem, mandate as of 2025, when we passed that, I remember that vividly because I was one of the co-author of this.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003426

A total of 722 LGUs, or 44% were partly compliant.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003427

544 LGUs, or 33% had no e-boss, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003428

They didn't follow.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003429

And 243 LGUs, or 14% made no submission.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003430

With over 92%.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003431

92% of LGUs not fully compliant with ARTA's plan to bring these remaining LGUs into full e-boss compliance.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003432

And what target number of LGUs does after expect to achieve by the end of 2037?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003433

Ano nangyari sa ating ARTA?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003434

You know, out of 1,634 LGUs, 127 yung fully compliant.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003435

So, what does ARTA's...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003436

Anong ginagawa ng ARTA?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003437

Pag ganito lang yung atin.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003438

I'm talking about 20, ano to ha?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003439

2025.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003440

Back then, ang budget nyo malaki pa.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003441

Go ahead.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003442

Mr. Speaker, since 2019, ARTA's been actively capacitating LGUs.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003443

On the need to set up an operationalize the electronic business one-stop shop for the permits and licenses.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003444

And this is being done in collaboration with ICT.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003445

What was I said earlier, kanina, no?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003446

However, there are other factors that we'll have to consider.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003447

In the setting up of an e-boss, such as internet infrastructure, which is very important,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003448

manpower capacity, and budget to procure necessary equipment, software, and hiring of IT personnel.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003449

Other systems separately developed, such as EFIS of the BFP,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003450

will also have to be integrated to have a seamless end-to-end processing of permits and licenses.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003451

To bring the remaining LGUs into full e-boss,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003452

compliance, ARTA is continuously working with BFP for the integration of their system,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003453

and closely monitor the development phase of LGUs through the e-boss monitoring report that is regularly updated by the LGUs.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003454

For 2027, ARTA will endeavor to have 1,300 e-boss fully compliant LGUs that are located in the regions.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003455

Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003456

how much is your budget in 2025?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003457

Okay, for 2025, the budget was

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003458

493 million

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003459

514,359.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003460

So, ito, back then, 2025, malaki na budget niyo,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003461

and the e-boss 2019 niyo pa inistart yan,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003462

but only 100,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003463

it's not even fully compliant, but

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003464

today, with the meager budget

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003465

of 97 million

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003466

for 2027,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003467

so how can you accomplish

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003468

that all 1,600 LGUs,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003469

will be compliant

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003470

by the 2026,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003471

or 2027?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003472

Kasi, kulang na yung budget niyo eh.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003473

So, paano niyo mapapagalaw yan?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003474

Again, Mr. Speaker, I'm not blaming ARTAs dito, especially Director General Perez, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003475

Because, hindi niyo talaga, ang kamay niyo tali kung wala kayong pondo.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003476

Sabi nga nila, ang sasakyan, hindi naman under yan kung hindi gosalina, walang karga.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003477

Kung gosalina niyo, kalahati, half gallon, half full tank,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003478

kalahati lang, eh, hanggang doon lang kayo.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003479

So, ano mangyayari sa atin?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003480

Kasi, I'm very concerned.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003481

Remember, e-boss is a seamless

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003482

law na dapat mabilis na

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003483

para maging compliant.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003484

Actually, Mr. Speaker, we are appealing for

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003485

the additional budget

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003685

Nagkaproblema tayo sa Visayas, Mindanao, mga yellow at saka red alert.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003686

One of the reasons is that pag nagtayo ka ng planta, it will take you 5 to 7 years.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003687

Pero ang pagtayo ng planta mismo, tatlong taon lang po yun.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003688

Yung tatlong taon, permitting po.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003689

So, may I just request an appeal to ARTA, kasi alam naman ninyo yung mandato ninyo, bakit kayo na-create,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003690

kindly sit up a unit that will coordinate directly with the Department of Energy, Energy Regulatory Commission.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003691

Makita ninyo doon sino yung mga binigyan ni DOE ng service contract.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003692

Para magtayo ng mga planta, different types of technology, mga ano ba yan, coal, not gas, renewable, doon ninyo makita.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003693

So, huwag na kayong maghintay na lalapit pa yung mga nagtatayo ng planta sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003694

Tanongin nyo na, wala ba kayong problema sa EBOS, wala ba kayong problema sa permitting, i-assist nyo na.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003695

Kasi kailangan natin yun.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003696

Kasi naghahabol tayo, we are inviting investors, nag-put up ng mga businesses.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003697

Every investor na magtayo dito, may kaakibat po yan na pangangailangan ng kuryente.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003698

Ngayon kung hindi tayo mabilis magtayo ng planta dahil sa permitting process na more than 160 plus na permits bago ka makapagtayo ng planta.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003699

So, ma-assist man lang ninyo para mapabilis natin.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003700

Hindi na tayo magkaroon ng yellow, red alert, rotating brownouts, then every time mangyari yan, tataas po yung presyo ng kuryente.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003701

Automatic po yan, tataas.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003702

Pati po kayo dito sa Metro Manila, sa bahay ninyo, lalaki, tataas po yung babayaran ninyo.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003703

Kaya, turungan natin ang ating sarili kasi yan yung trabaho ninyo, mapabilis para maraming planta, maraming supply, bababa po yung presyo.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003704

Can the ARTA commit on that?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003705

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-003706

So, maraming salamat ARTA, thank you Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

asr-003957

I would like to ask questions

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003958

regarding anonymized and aggregated

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003959

statistical information,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003960

and not specifically individual STRs,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003961

account numbers, and other protected

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003962

customer information, as a caveat,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003963

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003964

My first question would be:

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003965

Can the distinguished sponsor provide

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003966

through AMLC how many foundations,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003967

religious organizations, education providers,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003968

other service NPOs and other expressive NPOs

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003969

that exist currently, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004001

First, the accreditation of NGOs falls within the mandate of DSWD,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004002

Not AMLC.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004003

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, to clarify, SEC released a terrorist financing sector risk assessment.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004004

Apparently, it is created because of AMLC's financial analysis.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004005

So now we'd like to ask that the report or the assessment covers certain SEC-registered NPO's.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004006

We assume that the AMLC had the opportunity to know the scope, the number of NPO's they identified to be vulnerable to terrorist financing.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004007

Which is why we're asking, is the AMLC aware how many foundations, religious organizations, education providers, other service NPO's and other expressive NPO's that exist?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004008

To us, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, this is requisite information that hopefully the AMLC had the opportunity to check, assess before they gave their findings to the SEC.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004009

Mr. Speaker, currently we have no data. We will be submitting to the office because the studies are still undergoing.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004010

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, we look forward.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004011

We look forward to the submission of data from the AMLC for this year.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004012

But can we also add the records of AMLC from the previous years?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004013

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004014

We'd like to maybe up until 2021 or 2020, which is when the AMLC provided that data and then afterwards submitted this report.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004015

We'll do that, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004016

Okay.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004017

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004018

Mr. Speaker, has there been any change in the definitions and classifications used?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004019

Ma'am, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004020

So there's been no change.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004021

The different definitions of the NPO's that I enumerated earlier, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, which the SEC defined and uses,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004022

is also the definition that the AMLC is operating.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004023

Is this correct, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004024

Yes, Mr. Speaker, it's correct.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004025

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, does the AMLC, therefore, systematically assess the effects of its measures on legitimate humanitarian development, human rights, research, advocacy, and other civil society activity?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004026

There's been no change in the definition.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004027

We're waiting for the data on the amount, on the number of NPO's.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004028

That it has.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004029

But because the data came from AMLC, which the SEC used to create this report, this report has an effect on the operations of these NPO's or NPO's in general,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004030

given that the SEC, with the data of AMLC, tags them as vulnerable, so to speak.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004031

So may I ask, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, has the AMLC, or

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004032

does the AMLC systematically assess the effects of its measures in the activities of these NPO's?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004033

Yes, yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004034

If so, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, can we know the indicators and findings that the AMLC has to check the effects of its measures on the legitimate humanitarian development, human rights, and other civil society activity?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004036

Our AMLC, Counterterrorism Financing Laws, are primarily directed against terrorists,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004037

and those who finance terrorism.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004041

NGOs that receive donations, deliver humanitarian assistance, maintain bank accounts, work with communities,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004042

and safeguard the personnel and beneficiaries should not be unduly concerned that their legitimate activities will be affected or targeted under these laws.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004043

Insofar as the AMLC is concerned, its actions are evidence-based.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004044

The AMLC conducts...

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004045

thorough investigations and carefully evaluates the facts and evidence before initiating any terrorism financing case or pursuing any remedy available under the law.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004046

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004047

Therefore, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, I'd like to present a case study on the floor, which I assume the AMLC will be well familiar with.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004048

In the case of the Leyte Center for Development,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004049

development, its assets

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004050

and accounts including personal accounts

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004063

February 20, 2026.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004064

AMLC then filed a motion

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004065

for reconsideration on March 6,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004066

2026 and the RTC

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004067

denied the motion for reconsideration

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004068

in March 18,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004069

2026, affirming and reiterating

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004070

its order to unfreeze

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004071

the accounts and assets of LCD

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004072

including personal accounts of its staff

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004073

and Executive Officer and suppliers.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004074

Yet, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004075

good sponsor, to this day

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004076

the banks including

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004077

the AMLC have not complied.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004078

So, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004079

good sponsor, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004080

can the AMLC

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004081

clarify

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004082

on its rules for freezing

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004083

and unfreezing of accounts for

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004084

transparency and accountability?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004085

The AMLC

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004086

cannot disclose

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004087

sub judice

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004088

whether or not it is conducting a

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004089

financial investigation involving a

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004090

particular CSO or NGO

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004091

as such information is

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004092

confidential. With respect

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004093

to cases pending before the courts,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004094

the AMLC refrains

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004095

from commenting on matters

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004096

relating to such cases

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004097

in observance of the sub judice rule

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004098

which prohibits

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004099

public discussion that may

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004100

tend to influence or otherwise

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004101

interfere with the courts

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004102

resolution of pending case.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004103

Rest assured, however,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004104

that any investigation conducted

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004105

or case pursued by the

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004106

AMLC is based on the

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004107

available facts and evidence

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004108

and undertaken only after a thorough

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004109

and objective investigation.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004110

Evaluation thereof.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004111

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004112

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, to clarify,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004113

how is this a continuing case

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004114

that is under the sub judice rule?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004115

Currently,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004116

the RTC has denied

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004117

with finality the motion for

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004118

reconsideration filed by the AMLC.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004119

So, what is keeping

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004120

the AMLC from complying to the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004121

court's order to unfreeze the accounts of

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004122

LCDE?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004123

Based on the evidence,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004124

there are still other agencies

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004125

that are exploring it.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004126

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004127

I'm sorry, can the sponsor repeat their answer

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004128

as I had difficulty

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004129

hearing it?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004130

The AMLC is currently exploring

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004131

judicial evidence.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004132

Judicial evidence.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004133

So,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004134

for AMLC,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004135

the case is not closed.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004136

Is this correct?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004137

Madam, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004138

It is on appeal.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004139

It is on appeal.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004140

So, is that what's keeping the AMLC

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004141

from complying to the court's order

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004142

to unfreeze the accounts of

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004143

LCDE?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004144

When was the appeal

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004145

filed, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004165

AMLC.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004166

Avail is right to avail of judicial remedies.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004167

The others can also do as well.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004168

But to clarify, so this is the reason why AMLC has not complied yet with the court's order to unfreeze.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004169

Because, yes, we understand that there are judicial remedies that can be available to agencies.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004170

But this is a court order, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004171

And as we speak, NPO activities are being hampered.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004172

The personal lives of officers whose accounts are being frozen are impeded because of AMLC's continuous noncompliance with the court's order.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004173

Mr. Speaker, as to when the appeal was filed, we're still checking the data.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004174

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, so we cannot on the floor share when the appeal was filed.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004175

I think this would be instrumental to understanding why AMLC has not yet complied.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004176

With the court's order.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004177

I just want to remind of the subjudice, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004178

Yes, and we'd like to perhaps ask more information why it's still applicable given that there's an existing court order.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004179

And there has yet details shared as to why the subjudice applies when the motion for reconsideration has already been denied.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004180

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004181

Actually, Mr. Speaker, we cannot discuss further the minutes of the case because it's still ongoing.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004182

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004183

Just to maybe...

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004184

Ask the final clarification.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004185

Is the appeal filed?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004186

Yes, yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004187

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, we'd like to receive from AMLC information as to the status of this case,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004188

which would be the reason why it would be under subjudice still.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004189

The date and other pertinent information as to this case.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004190

Would that be possible, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004191

Yes, Mr. Speaker, we will be willing to submit our report.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004192

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004193

But we'd like...

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004194

We ask these questions because this case is illustrative of the effect this sector risk assessment issued by SEC

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004195

using the information from AMLC to organizations that are a part of NPOs.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004196

So, non-profit organizations that are expressive, religious, education providers, service-oriented.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004197

That at the end of the day, there's this case.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004198

Who went through court processes, their case was dismissed on reconsideration, it's been denied.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004199

So, right now, this organization still cannot function.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004200

The lives of the officers and their ability to function as human beings in a time where our assets are nearly all liquid

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004201

and therefore we have to depend on banks, on financials.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004202

Financial institutions to maintain our daily duties, it's all being hampered.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004203

And when AMLC shared earlier that it has its business not interfering with the functions

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004204

or even measuring the effects of their policies to organizations, that strikes me as disappointing

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004205

because lives are being...

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004206

lives are being disrupted by AMLC's findings and policies.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004207

So, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, I'd like to ask the AMLC, does it know the consequences for legitimate NPO activity

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004208

and how does AMLC measure them, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004209

And how does AMLC assess whether its NPO measures are risk-based and proportionate?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

Mr. Speaker, covered persons may file suspicious transaction reports involving corporations or organizations suspected of being involved in terrorism or that has been designated as such.

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004213

The AMLC may therefore thereafter act on these reports, and when investigation warrants, pursue the appropriate remedies available under applicable laws,

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004214

including the issuance or implementation of freeze orders,

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004215

and the institution of civil forfeiture proceedings.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004216

Thank you for the clarification, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004217

However, this is information that may be gathered by a cursory glance at the AMLA.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004218

But we're asking about the practical and memoranda policy orders wherein AMLC is able to set standards for itself

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004219

to change.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004220

To check whether the measures that it implements against NPO's are risk-based and proportionate.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004221

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, how does AMLC assess this?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004222

What was shared to us was the process.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004223

But what does AMLC do to ensure that their actions are risk-based and proportionate and not just merely blanketly responsive to complaints or reports?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004224

from covered persons?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004247

We conduct risk assessments to determine possible risk exposure of NGOs

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004248

based on facts; then AMLC will make policies.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004249

Can this representation request, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, a copy of the standards that the AMLC uses to say that their measures are risk-based and proportionate?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004250

Whether this is a memorandum order, a framework, a policy plan, or whatever document the AMLC uses,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004251

to ensure that it does entail proportionate measures, this representation would like to receive a copy.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004252

Is this possible, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004253

We'll do that, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004254

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004255

My next question would be, can we know how many total NPO-linked suspicious transaction reports or SDRs since 2021 up to the latest available year have been filed?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004256

As of the moment, Mr. Speaker, we don't have the data. We will just submit to the office.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004257

Okay, we will look forward to that from 2021 up to the latest available year.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004258

Do we have data on how much money is involved here?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004259

None at the moment.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004260

Mr. Speaker, we'd like to receive that also via a report.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004261

How about for money laundering and terrorist financing SDRs?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004262

Do we know how many, what is the total number issued since 2021 and how much is involved?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004263

We will also include that, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004264

Okay, so we'll look forward to that.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004265

Generally, SDRs and then SDRs in relation to money laundering and terrorist financing charges.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004266

That's Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004267

Of course, we look forward to this data so we ensure that our laws are properly implemented.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004268

But we'd like to ask also, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004269

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, will this data be publicly available and when?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004270

We do submit annual accomplishment reports.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004271

Okay.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004272

We look forward to that as well.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004273

But given the, well, public attention to how AMLC is able to check the suspicious transactions

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004274

that it receives via reports or even covered transactions it receives when covered persons

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004275

give their due diligence, we'd like to open to AMLC if this information can be public.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004276

So we'd like to receive.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004277

I don't know if this is an official accomplishment report, but is, does AMLC plan to publish this information?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004278

Does it plan to make it public?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004279

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004280

May I ask when?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004281

It's being published.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004282

And may I ask also, how often does AMLC publish the results?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004283

Annually.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004284

Annually.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004285

So mga anong date po kaya ito?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004286

And can we have the assurance that AMLC will publish their findings as soon as possible?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004290

They usually publish

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004291

annually

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004292

before the budget hearing, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004293

Okay.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004294

So can we have the assurance, so well AMLC mentioned that it has an accomplishment report prior to this budget hearing.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004296

However, I have

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004297

been hearing that there's a lot of data

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004298

that this representation is requesting

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004299

on the floor that AMLC is

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004300

unable to provide at this particular

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004301

instance. So

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004302

this representation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004303

would like to just note on record

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004304

that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004305

though we would like

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004306

to see

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004307

the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004308

data of AMLC

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004309

that as of now

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004310

it seems like there is more that has

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004311

to be provided and made

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004312

public for further clarification.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004313

So can we have the assurance that AMLC

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004314

will publish their findings as soon

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004315

as available?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004316

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004317

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004318

good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004319

My next question would be, we did

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004320

check the data

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004321

that AMLC has published

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004322

prior to the budget season

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004323

and in the executive summary it says

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004324

that a total of 18

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004325

NPOs were identified

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004326

in 112

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004327

10

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004328

terrorism and terrorist financing

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004329

related STRs filed with the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004330

AMLC. However, in a

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004331

statement on page 36 it says

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004332

for 2017 to

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004333

2020, 112

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004334

NPOs were identified

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004335

in the STRs relating to

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004336

terrorism and terrorist financing.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004337

So there's a discrepancy on the numbers.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004338

Sa isa, sabi

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004339

18 NPOs were identified

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004340

in 112 charges

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004341

or STRs.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004342

And in another it says

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004343

12 NPOs were identified.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004344

Can we clarify,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004345

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, which

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004346

of this is the proper

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004347

data point?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004348

We will check on that and validate.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004349

Okay. Mr. Speaker, good

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004350

sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004351

we see that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004352

with this and we're

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004353

looking for and hoping for the information

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004354

to clarify

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004355

but it seems like that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004356

AMLC is prioritizing

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004357

and targeting the small

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004358

smaller people's organizations

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004359

that are victims of red tagging

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004360

that at the end of the day

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004361

their charges are dismissed

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004362

in courts and

information that was

promised above but we'd

using the same definitions and level

of aggregation. We ask these

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004397

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004398

because this representation

from consulting

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004400

with people's organizations

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004401

that are falling under

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004402

the definition of these NPOs

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004403

they are not

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004404

rich, they are not well

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004405

funded, nonetheless

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004406

in the good work they do

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004407

they are hampered by these

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004408

allegations, these SDRs

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

by AMLC. So

these be provided to this representation

Mr. Speaker, this representation would like to request for a copy

asr-004514

of the status of the implementation of this law so far

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-004515

as well as details including dates of flagged and investigated transaction.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-004516

We asked and are concerned of these matter

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-004517

because we want to ensure that the AMLC responds swiftly to cases

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-004518

involving OSAIC and CISAEM, particularly those involving financial transactions.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-004519

We believe that immediate action is necessary to ensure that suspicious financial activities

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-004520

linked to these grave offenses against children are promptly addressed and investigated

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Honorable Presley Desos, you have the floor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004531

Thank you Mr. Speaker Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004532

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004533

let me begin with the budget itself.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004534

AMLC has a current fiscal year 2026 budget of P333 million

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004535

but for 2027, the proposed amount is only about P144 million.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004536

So, we are reducing AMLC

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004537

budget by more than half.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004538

Why is the budget going down so

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004539

substantially,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004540

Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004541

Bakit masyadong mababa

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004542

ang inyong budget,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004543

more than half, from P333

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004544

million, naging

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004545

P144 million?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004546

What's the reason behind?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004547

Mr. Speaker, may I respectfully clarify the premise.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004548

The P144 million is not

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004549

the AMLC's proposal.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004550

It is the amount recommended by

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004551

the Department of Budget and Management

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004552

in the NEP.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004553

The AMLC proposed

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004554

335

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004555

million 246.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004556

So, for

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004557

2027, you requested

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004558

P300?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004559

P333.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004560

P33.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004561

For 2027, it's P335.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004562

I thought that was

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004563

P333 million, that was

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004564

for 2026.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004565

Am I right?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004566

Yes, P333 for 2026

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004567

and P335 for

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004568

2027.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004569

Only a 0.64% more.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004570

So, for 2027,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004571

how much your budget

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004572

requested?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004573

We requested for P335 to P460.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004574

We were given only...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004575

No, for 2027 alone.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004576

For next year's budget.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004577

That has been

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004578

more or less approved?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004579

For 2027?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004580

We proposed P335.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004581

But the one...

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004582

The figure

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004583

is approved is only P144.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004584

P144 million.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004585

For 2027?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004586

Yeah, how come there was a

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004587

big discrepancy between

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004588

2026 of P333?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004589

P333 million and for 2027,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004590

it went down to P144 million.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004591

Anong bakit to bumaba?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004592

Okay, the thing is,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004593

um, the figures...

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004594

The NEP figures correspond to

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004595

the AMLC's forward estimate,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004596

which was computed around

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004597

three years ago, and none of

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004598

the agency's peer-to-proposals

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004599

amounting to P190 million

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004600

was considered.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004601

The NEP provides no capital outlay at all.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004603

And the AMLC, therefore,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004604

respectfully seeks the restoration

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004605

of the 190 million, 559.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004606

Okay, thank you.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004607

Let me proceed to my next question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004608

Can we then identify those

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004609

one-time expenditures?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004610

Because AMLA responsibilities

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004611

are not going...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004612

Are not getting smaller.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004613

AMLA owns latest

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004614

national risk assessment,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004615

identifies continuing risks involving the AMLA,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004616

involving fraud, drugs, corruption,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004617

tax crime, virtual assets, casinos,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004618

real estate, and other sectors.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004619

It specifically calls for stronger

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004620

financial investigation, asset tracing,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004621

data integration, and analytics.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004622

So the budget needs to reflect that.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004623

Would you agree, distinguished sponsor?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004624

Yes.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004625

Okay, thank you.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004626

Now, let's go... Actually...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004627

to my next question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004628

Let me move to something

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004629

that the public can understand more easily.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004630

Criminal assets, AMLA has been active...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004631

active in tracing and freezing assets

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004632

in case involving alleged corruption

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004633

in government projects.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004634

In January 2026,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004635

AMLA reported that assets frozen

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004636

in connection with alleged anomalous project

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004637

had reached approximately 24.7 billion.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004638

But freezing an asset,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004639

is not the same as recovering the asset.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004640

Am I right?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004641

Yes, Mr. Speaker, correct.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004642

Of the assets frozen

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004643

in corruption-related cases,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004644

how much has actually reached final

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004645

forfeiture in favor of the government?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004646

Mr. Speaker, most of the corruption-related assets

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004647

are still at the freezing or preservation stage

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004648

because the cases were filed only recently.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004649

In 2025, 15 of the 30 freeze orders,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004650

issued by the Court of Appeals,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004651

involve corruption,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004652

including 14 of the flood control anomalies,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004653

covering 20.26 billion.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004654

In the first semester of 2026,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004655

18 of the 28 petitions for civil forfeiture

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004656

filed were corruption cases,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004657

covering 15.76 billion in preserved assets.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004658

57% of all assets preserved during the period.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004659

As of June 30, 2026, five active cases,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004660

including the one that was filed,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004661

five active freeze orders in corruption cases,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004662

over another 1.01 billion.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004663

These cases are pending before the RTC

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004664

and judgment of forfeiture will follow trial.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004665

The flood control cases alone accounted for 22 petitions,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004666

covering about 16 billion in preserved assets,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004667

as of September 16, 2026.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004668

Across all of its cases since 2006,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004669

the courts have issued 106 forfeiture cases,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004670

forfeiture orders covering 2.17 billion.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004671

Of these, 774 million has been returned to victims,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004672

166 million has been turned over to the national government,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004673

and 119 million has been transferred

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004674

to the Office of the Ombudsman,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004675

while the balance is still at various stages of execution.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004676

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004677

Thank you, Mrs. Speaker, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004678

If AMLC cannot provide the percentage,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004679

does it presently measure this?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004680

I think one measure of AMLOC effectiveness

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004681

in the number of criminal networks first identified

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004682

through its own financial intelligence

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004683

instead of just being reactive.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004684

Would you agree with that, Madam Sponsor?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004685

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004686

This is an important distinction, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004687

If PNP, NBI, PIDEA, and the Ombudsman,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004688

or another agency already identifies us,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004689

we recognize that we are a suspect and AMLOC then traces the person's account.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004690

That is important work.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004691

We recognize that.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004692

But AMLOC also received enormous amounts of financial information

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004693

from banks and other covered persons.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004694

So AMLOC should also be capable of identifying suspicious financial activity

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004695

on their own and investigation based on the information.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004696

How often does that happen?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004697

It happens regularly and increasingly.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004698

In the first semester of 2026, 751 of the AMLOCs,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004699

1,165 financial intelligence products were generated on its own initiative,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004700

including 300 spontaneous disclosures,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004701

cases in which the AMLOC itself identified suspicious activity

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004702

and referred it to law enforcement or foreign counterparts without a prior request.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004703

The limiting factor is capacity.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004704

Suspicious transaction reports received rose from 10.9 million in 2023 to 62.9 million in 2025.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004705

In the flood control investigation alone,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004706

the AMLOC analyzed 5,148 suspicious transaction reports

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004707

and 492,346 covered transaction reports

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004708

to produce 52 financial intelligence products,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004712

on 393 persons of interest.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004713

Scaling that kind of analysis is what the 2027 budget is for.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004714

Thank you, Mrs. Speaker, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004715

Now, I'm going back to my first question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004716

So let me ask very directly,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004717

is the proposed 144 million budget sufficient for the risk AMLOC itself has identified?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004718

Kasya ho ba ito

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004719

sa dami ng ginagawa ninyo, yung budget ninyo?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004721

No, no, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004722

So what are you going to do with the major budget you have?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004723

So how about that?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004724

Is it tied in your hands again, just like the ARTA?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004725

Actually, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004726

we want to

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004727

appeal to the House

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004728

to respectfully seek the

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004729

restoration of the

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004730

190 million

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004731

500

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004732

So, 198 million plus

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004733

the 144 million.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-004734

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004735

That's around 300 something.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004736

Almost to 333 million.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004737

Again, for my

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004738

last question,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004739

so, I know that

Source

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004912

Ah, for 2027.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004914

While the agency is pulling up the data, Mr. Speaker, a significant portion of it would be for the implementation of the National Strategic Plan and the National Security Strategy.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004915

These would also be allocated towards strategic engagements at the bilateral, trilateral, and multilateral levels.

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004939

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, we'd like to take a moment to check the contents, the validity,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004940

and even to…

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004941

To scrutinize whether the budget going to the publication of this journal is indeed

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004942

money well spent for the public, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004943

First of all, we'd like to note that in the foreword of this journal, it is the maiden

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004944

issue that states that it is vital in advancing scholarly inquiry.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004945

Especially to inform policy discourse.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004946

And to clarify, this maiden issue of the Philippine Journal on National Security is entitled,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004947

Target to Threat, the Psychology and Prevention of Terror Grooming.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004948

Where here it says, and in the first page of the journal, that there is a vulnerable stage where young minds,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004949

shaped by curiosity,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004950

and uncertainty,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004951

become potential targets of manipulation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004952

and radical influence.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004953

It highlights that terror grooming

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004954

can begin in familiar environments

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004955

such as schools,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004956

where ideologies can quietly take root.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004957

So, apparently, this issue

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004958

would like to advance

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004959

scholarly inquiry

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004960

on terror tagging

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004961

and how vulnerable young minds

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004962

are in schools

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004963

for what it describes

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004964

to be

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004965

manipulation and radical influence.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004966

Yet, how can the journal

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004967

and agency advance scholarly inquiry

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004968

when, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004969

one, nowhere in the journal

which, to this representation,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004982

is a display

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004983

of conflict of interest.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004984

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004985

what is the plan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004986

of NSC when it said that this

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004987

journal will advance

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004988

scholarly inquiry

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004989

when it suffers through

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004990

these limitations

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004991

of the journal?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005023

Mr. Speaker, if it would be possible that our time would be paused

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005024

While the sponsor

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005025

confers with the agency.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005027

Mr. Speaker, as for the NSC, this journal mentioned by our distinguished colleague is actually a compilation of different editorials from different sectors.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005028

This was also produced through the strategic communications cluster of the NTF-ELCAC. We agree that if it were to be deemed a scholarly inquiry, our distinguished colleague is correct that it should be peer reviewed. Claiming that it would be a scholarly inquiry and not

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005029

it abiding by the standards of

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005030

academic scholarship is not

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005031

it wouldn't be

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005032

it shouldn't qualify then as a scholarship

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005033

inquiry, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005034

So Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005035

there is confirmation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005036

that this

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005037

journal, which it purports to

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005038

be a journal, did not undergo

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005039

peer review and

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005040

no reviewer

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005041

went through the articles

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005042

to vet them

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005043

if they pass

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005044

standards of academic

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005045

rigor that is expected

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005046

when we publish

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005047

any sort of

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005048

scholarly pursuit

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005049

in compilations that we

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005050

purport to be, quote-unquote,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005051

journals. Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005052

As for the stated methodology

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005053

of the said journal,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005054

Mr. Speaker, it employs,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005055

comprehensive desktop review from peer-reviewed journals, periodicals, articles, and other studies.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005056

It's also conducted key interviews

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005057

with subject matter experts

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005058

to reinforce the findings

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005059

on neuroscience and psychology.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005060

Is there a reviewer list, Mr. Speaker?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005061

Good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005062

Because while the description

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005063

does mention the words

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005064

peer-review to this representation,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005065

desktop review

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005066

of peer-reviewed journals

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005067

is not equal to peer-review.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005068

We agree.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005069

So there's no reviewer list, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005070

Good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005102

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, to save everyone time, we may just request the good sponsor to share any information that it will countercheck, maybe later or by the end of this week. But to note, we did look at the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005103

The quote-unquote journal itself, it does not list names of reviewers, and it does not provide a peer review policy.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005104

Nonetheless, Mr. Speaker, may I move on to my other questions? Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005105

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005106

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, what this representation has pointed out on issues of peer review,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005107

on the list of reviewers.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005108

The members of the editorial board and even the conflict of interest displayed by the Editor-in-Chief

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005109

is just among the many issues that we've found in this publication.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005110

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, my next question would be,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005111

is the NSC aware that an article in this publication cites a source to support its quote-unquote brain-based thesis for terrorism

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005112

wherein the very source explicitly warns against the very interpretation and use of its work?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005113

In particular, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, Bautista, the Editor-in-Chief and a writer of one of the articles in this publication

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005114

cites the quote-unquote wired brain thesis on Canay et al. as if settled.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005115

However, Canay's own team explicitly cautioned against over-interpreting the finding.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005116

Thus, this...

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005117

This thesis remains one of the most heavily scrutinized, weakly replicated studies in political neuroscience.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005118

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, is the NSC aware of this?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005127

Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005128

Dr.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005129

We're talking about Dr. Teodoro Bautista.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005130

Yes, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005131

Yes, the agency confirms that

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005132

Dr. Bautista was a consultant

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005133

for

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005134

this particular project.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005135

For this particular project,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005136

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005137

Yes, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005138

Dr. Teodoro Bautista is also the editor-in-chief

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005139

and also

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005140

writer of one of the articles.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005141

And it says

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005142

that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005143

this article adopts the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005144

wired brain thesis

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005145

that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005146

the publishers

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005147

of that theory itself

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005148

explicitly cautioned

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005149

against over-interpreting the finding.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005150

So, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005151

We'd just like to

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005152

ask if the NSC is aware

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005153

that one of the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005154

thesis on

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005155

its articles on terror grooming

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005156

has a source that explicitly

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005157

warns against the very

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005158

interpretation in that thesis

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005159

and the use of its work.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005160

We ask this question,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005161

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, because we'd like to

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005162

check the scientific,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005163

academic, scholarly rigor that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005164

really underwent in the publication

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005165

of these articles.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005166

Was there effort to check the sources

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005167

and the cautions

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005168

that these authors

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005169

gave before any

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005170

other author can

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005171

subsequently use and adopt

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005172

the theories that it

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005173

had and published

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005174

in its findings? Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005175

Yes, Mr. Speaker, the agency

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005176

commits to

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005177

speaking with the editorial

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005178

team that crafted

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005179

this journal.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005180

Especially with regards to this

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005181

wire-brain thesis and the

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005182

interpretations that the

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005183

journal made

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005184

regarding this thesis.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005185

Mr. Speaker. We look forward

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005186

to whatever the results of that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005187

discussion would be, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005188

good sponsor, if this representation could

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005189

be furnished

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005190

its post-consultation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005191

report. But, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005192

that's not the only

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005193

red flag that this

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005194

representation found perusing

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005195

this publication.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005196

My next question would be, how can

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005197

the NSC reconcile the direct contradiction

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005198

between its own articles

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005199

wherein one article finds

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005200

quote-unquote terrorists

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005201

to show no distinguishable

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005202

psychopathology?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005203

So, basically, walang makakapagsabi

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005204

or walang one neural

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005205

network or indicator

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005206

a terrorist can be a terrorist.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005207

Pero may isang article naman po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005208

ang claim that there is an innate

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005209

neurological predisposition.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005210

For one to be a terrorist.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005211

Now, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005212

good sponsor, I'd like to give some time

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005213

to flesh this out

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005214

as provided in the journal.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005215

Now, Bolinao's, Bolinao is

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005216

one of the authors of the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005217

of the publication.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005218

It's their own literature review

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005219

states plainly that there's

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005220

no evidence that terrorists are mentally

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005221

disturbed and the outstanding

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005222

common characteristic of terrorists

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005223

is normality. These are quotes.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005224

It explicitly rejects,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005225

individual pathology or

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005226

trait-based explanations.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005227

However, Dr. Bautista's

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005228

article asserts the opposite.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005229

That some people are

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005230

neurologically predisposed

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005231

to terrorism. This is a

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005232

foundational disagreement between the two articles.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005233

Then, the editor's

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005234

note, which Dr. Bautista

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005235

wrote, which

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005236

should synthesize the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005237

issue's contributions and

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005238

supposedly weigh their epistemic

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005239

values, instead,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005240

adopts the weaker, more

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005241

scientifically contested claim

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005242

uncritically, which is that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005243

meron pong brain structure,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005244

ang mga iilan, that they

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005245

are quote-unquote more predisposed

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005246

to terrorism. Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005247

good sponsor, what is the explanation that the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005248

NSC can provide with us

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005249

on this? There's a direct contradiction

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005250

between its own articles.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005251

And NSC reconciles

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005252

that by siding with the weaker

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005253

and more scientifically contested

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005254

claim. Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005255

Yes, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005256

That is,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005257

I think, one of the characteristics

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005258

of compilations of case

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005259

studies, given that

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005260

these case studies

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005261

are, these are case studies

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005262

of lived experiences.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005263

Those are the contents

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005264

of the journal, as well as

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005265

reviews of

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005266

peer-reviewed

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005267

journals and articles.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005268

So, given that, for example, a

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005269

case study

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005270

from one area

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005271

would encapsulate a different experience

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005272

versus another case

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005273

study conducted in another area

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005274

would encapsulate a different

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005275

experience. So,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005276

there would arise

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005277

in those kinds of situations

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005278

contradictions.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005279

Given the

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005280

nature of this journal,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005281

is really, as

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005282

per the agency,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005283

a compilation of lived experiences,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005284

which

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005285

are also

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005286

with incorporations of

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005287

peer,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005288

well, peer-reviewed journals,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005289

like excerpts from those

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005290

peer-reviewed journals.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005291

Given that it's

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005292

a compilation,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005293

it really, there would be contradictions.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005294

That's for the agency,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005295

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005296

Unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005297

it is evident in the editor's note

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005298

that the editor

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005299

in chief

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005300

is inclined

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005301

to nonetheless

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005302

undertake one interpretation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005303

over another.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005304

But, Mr. Speaker, my other question

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005305

would be

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005306

regarding the list of authors.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005307

Aside from

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005308

the issues in particular

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005309

articles and even in the

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005310

construction of

Marlon Villarin.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005317

So why has the NSC

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005318

given

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005319

Marlon Villarin a platform

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005320

when he clearly has conflict of interest

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005321

in the topic at hand?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005322

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, the conflict

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005323

interest I'm talking about here

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005324

is that he has filed a

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005325

50-page complaint against

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005326

several student activists

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005327

in UST and has been alleged

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005328

of red-tagging, defamatory

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005329

insinuations, misogynistic

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005330

statements, and harassment.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005331

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, a cursory

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005332

glance at his social media

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005333

pages provide

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005334

a handful, a myriad

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005335

of these statements

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005336

against student activists, in particular

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005337

female student activists

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005338

where those that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005339

are subject

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005340

to his ire would be

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005341

the target of misogynistic

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005342

statements alongside

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005343

red-tagging and harassment.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005344

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, in the article

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005345

that Marlon Villarin

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005346

published under this

the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005349

pleasure of the body

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005350

into just letting me quote

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005351

in particular a portion

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005352

of the article he stated.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005353

He said that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005354

HEIs afford an opportunity

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005355

to students to air the voices

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005356

of fellow students besides

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005357

being involved in policy formulation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005358

within the institution.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005359

Socially political active organizations

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005360

refer to the National

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005361

Union of Students of the Philippines

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005362

which conducts political

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005363

campaigns like voter registration

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005364

and educational reforms

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005365

among other social activities.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005366

However,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005367

the student participation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005368

in civic activities

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005369

both on a classroom and extracurricular

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005370

basis poses

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005371

risk of radicalization

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005372

and extremism if not properly

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005373

mentored or supervised.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005374

In this regard, extremism

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005375

is not far-fetched across such

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005376

political education.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005377

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, to me this is absurd

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005378

how it links

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005379

political activities, civic

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005380

activities like voters education

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005381

and educational reforms to

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005382

risk of radicalization

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005383

and extremism. Mr. Speaker, good

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005384

sponsor, I'd like an explanation.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005385

Why is this professor one of the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005386

authors in this

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005387

compilation when

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005388

he can be said that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005389

his entire

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005390

academic rigor on this topic

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005391

is under question given that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005392

his conflict

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005393

of interest exists?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005394

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005395

Yes, Mr. Speaker, the agency

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005396

notes that concern

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005397

by Mr. Grish's colleague.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005398

The agency will

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005399

consult with the strategic

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005400

communications cluster of the

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005401

NTF-ELCAC given that

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005402

this journal was published

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005403

through the strategic communications

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005404

cluster of the ELCAC.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005405

This cluster is tasked with

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005406

looking at and approving

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005407

the contributing authors

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005408

of journals

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005409

that come out of that cluster.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005410

So, we will inform our distinguished

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005411

colleague with regards to the

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005412

results of that consultation.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005413

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005414

does the NSE plan to publish more

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005415

journals? Through what process?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005416

And what will be the topics?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005417

Will we expect

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005418

the same level of

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005419

in this

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005420

representation opinion

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005421

carelessness in vetting

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005422

the list of authors who will be

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005423

collaborated with

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005424

in these publications

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005425

and the objectives of the journals?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005426

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005427

There are no

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005428

publications in line

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005429

as of now,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005430

Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005431

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005432

we note the answer of the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005433

sponsor after conferring with the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005434

agency.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005435

But if anything, this should be seen

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005436

as a state attempt to intellectualize

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005437

and legitimize a concept.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005438

The concept of quote unquote

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005439

terror grooming, style like a journal

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005440

which now we have heard on the floor

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005441

that is a compilation.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005442

That is the more accurate term

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005443

to purvey that intellectual

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005444

legitimacy.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005445

While not being thorough with the actual

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005446

process of academic rigor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005447

review, and criticism.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005448

This means that none of its claims

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005449

should be

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005450

passed independent expert scrutiny

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005451

before publication.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005452

Which directly puts into the doubt

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005453

its validity as a concept and the weight

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005454

it should carry in policy debate.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005455

And Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005456

the very fact that NTF-LCAC

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005457

has to be one of the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005458

advised in these

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005459

publications is already

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005460

a red flag that we'd like to note.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005461

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005462

as a last line of questioning

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005463

of this representation,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005464

I'd like to ask

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005465

because in the text

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005466

of the journal, it explicitly

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005467

states that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005468

socio-economic inequalities

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005469

like poverty, land dispossession,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005470

injustices,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005471

marginalization, historical trauma,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005472

etc. are recognized

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005473

but these structures

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005474

and social realities

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005475

the journal says

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005476

are stated to be

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005477

quote unquote exploited

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005478

by groomers rather than seen

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005479

as independently valid

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005480

grievances. They are seen as

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005481

factors but not the basis

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005482

for extremism and

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005483

psychologies are the primary cause

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005484

of extremism. Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005485

good sponsor, given that this

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005486

compilation names poverty,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005487

historical injustice as unresolved

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005488

root causes for extremism,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005489

why

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005490

do none of its recommendations

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005491

involve land reform, economic redistribution,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005492

negotiated political

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005493

settlement, etc.?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005494

Why does this stop at merely

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005495

just recognition, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005496

Yes,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005497

Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005498

the agency notes

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005499

those recommendations

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005500

given also that

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005501

there is a shift in

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005502

how the NSC also looks at

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005503

national security, so

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005504

beyond the conventional

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005505

perspective of national security

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005506

towards human security.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005507

So, economic security,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005508

economic dignity, food security,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005509

energy, water, and all of

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005510

the basic needs. So, this is, this

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005511

should be part also

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005512

of the recommendations

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005513

in subsequent reports

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005514

by the NSC. Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005515

Unfortunately, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005516

in the policy recommendations

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005517

of this compilation,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005518

they lay it out in an acronym

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005519

called DECAL, and it

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005520

very much

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005521

focuses instead of, one,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005522

detecting these terror groomers

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005523

online and offline,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005524

two, exposing them through a

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005525

terror groomer national registry

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005526

and forward them to major

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005527

institutions like schools,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005528

three, control the incidences of

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005529

terror grooming by allowing our law enforcement

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005530

to patrol online platforms

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005531

and deploy digital forensics,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005532

which, by the way, Mr. Speaker, is a

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005533

violation of the right to privacy.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005534

Four, arrest

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005535

and prosecute terror groomers

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005536

using the anti-terrorism

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005537

law, which, up until now, we have

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005538

a continuing critique

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005539

of being unconstitutional and

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005540

vague and overbroad, and number five,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005541

legislate new measures to

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005542

regulate radical and extremist

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005543

consent. We note,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005544

and we know, the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005545

sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005546

or,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005547

to understand,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005548

at the end of the day,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005549

when we talk about human security,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005550

that is also ensuring economic

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005551

security, social security, etc. But,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005552

unfortunately, the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005553

agency which is being defended

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005554

on the floor by the sponsor

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005555

does not forward

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005556

any recommendations to

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005557

that direction. Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005558

good sponsor, final questions.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005559

May we ask

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005560

if the NSC believes that a college

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005561

aged student is capable

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005562

of their own choices?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005563

How about a farmer, a worker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005564

a unionist, a teacher,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005565

an indigenous Filipino,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005566

a practicing Muslim? Do these

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005567

individuals

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005568

exhibit

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005569

capability of their own choices,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005570

Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005571

However, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005572

their

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005573

these individuals

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005574

and the sectors they belong to

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005575

are amongst the list of

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005576

quote-unquote vulnerable sectors the journal

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005577

tries to say that are being groomed into

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005578

radicalization. Sabi pa nga po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005579

dito na ginagamit ng mga terror groomers

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005580

ang mga kahirapan na

sa

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005623

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

policy.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005625

Of course,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005626

ang NSE,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005627

ang lead

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005631

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005632

So, meron po silang nilabas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005633

Ito po, buti na lang.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005634

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005642

And the accompanying

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005643

National Security Strategy

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005644

document.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005645

Actually,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005646

maraming pwedeng itanong dito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005647

Pero, given the limited

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005648

time, actually, I will just focus

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005649

on the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005650

discussion on

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005651

the strategic environment.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005652

In particular,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005653

of course,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005654

dati nang kasama

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005655

sa discussion

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005656

ng pag-usapin ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005657

external security

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005658

in West Philippine Sea issue.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005659

So, that is quite familiar.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005660

Alam natin yung issue

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005661

ng West Philippine Sea

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005662

ruling,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005663

the arbitral ruling,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005664

won by the Philippines

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005665

and the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005666

baseless and illegal claim

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005667

of China

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005668

that they have sovereignty

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005669

over

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005670

almost

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005671

very significant portions

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005672

of our

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005673

exclusive economic zones.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005674

So, alam na natin yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005675

And,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005676

in the National Security Policy,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005677

it says here,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005678

the West Philippine Sea issue

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005679

remains a primary national interest

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005680

of the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005681

So, malinaw naman po yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005682

However,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005683

ang isang relatively bago po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005684

na sinama na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005685

the National Security Strategy,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005686

this is on page 14

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005687

for reference of the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005688

sponsor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005689

Sinabi po rito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005690

major concern

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005691

is also seen

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005692

in the cross-straits relations

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005693

that has the potential

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005694

to be the flashpoint

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005695

in the region.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005696

So, the Philippines

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005697

is concerned about

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005698

its economic stability,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005699

a potential influx

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005700

of refugees,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005701

and the welfare

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005702

of overseas populations.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005703

Any military conflict

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005704

in the Taiwan Strait

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005705

would inevitably affect

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005706

the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005707

Given the geographic

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005708

proximity of Taiwan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005709

to the Philippine Archipelago

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005710

and the presence

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005711

of over 150,000

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005712

Filipinos

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005713

in Taiwan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005714

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005715

ngayon po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005716

nasasama na rin po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005717

sa National Security Policy

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005718

yung consideration

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005719

ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005720

tawag dito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005721

cross-straits relations

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005722

ang tinutukoy po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005723

So, yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005724

Taiwan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005725

And of course,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005726

the One China Policy

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005727

where China

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005728

asserts that

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005729

Taiwan is a

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005730

province of China.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005731

Diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005732

And,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005733

officially,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005734

this is

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005735

a policy that is also

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005736

recognized by the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005737

Ganun yun, diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005738

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005739

However, dito sinabi na rito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005740

any military conflict

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005741

in the Taiwan Strait

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005742

would inevitably affect

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005743

the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005744

So, yung pagkakasabi po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005745

ng would inevitably

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005746

affect the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005747

Pwede po bang mag-elaborate

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005748

ang National Security Council

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005749

dito sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005750

inevitability?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005751

Kasi,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005752

ang Pangulo po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005753

presumably,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005754

batay sa input

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005755

ng National Security Council

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005756

on numerous occasions,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005757

has stated na,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005758

sa ayaw natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005759

sa gusto natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005760

madadamay tayo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005761

sa gera

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005762

pag nagkaroon ng gera

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005763

sa pagitan ng US

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005764

at China

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005765

kaugnay sa Taiwan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005766

So, I'm assuming

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005767

those statements of the President

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005768

are based on this

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005769

input by the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005770

National Security Council.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005771

Ilang beses niya na sinabi yan na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005772

parang no choice,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005773

inevitably,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005774

we will be involved

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005775

in a conflict

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005776

with Taiwan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005777

So, ang kinikwestiyon po natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005778

yung idea ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005779

inevitability.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005780

Is it really inevitable?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005781

Bakit po nasabi ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005782

National Security Council

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005783

na inevitable ito?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005784

That we would be inevitably

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005785

drawn into this conflict?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005786

Yes.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005787

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005788

given that Taiwan

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005789

is a hundred kilometers away

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005790

from Philippine territory,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005791

really the NSC is gauging

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005792

the risks regarding

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005793

the proximity in terms of

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005794

the spillover effects.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005795

So, not so much

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005796

more of the

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005797

evacuation of OFWs

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005798

and the potential evacuation

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005799

of different nationalities.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005800

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005801

so that is the basis

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005802

for the statement.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005803

By the NSC and the

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005804

National Strategic Plan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005805

Okay. So, ang ibig niyo po sabihin nun,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005806

mainly, it's

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005807

inevitable in the sense,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005808

well, inevitably

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005809

affect the Philippines,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005810

would inevitably affect the Philippines

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005811

given the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005812

geographic proximity and

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005813

the OFWs in Taiwan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005814

Parang ganon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005815

So, yun ang ibig sabihin dun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005816

Pero,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005817

does the NSC also

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005818

see that

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005819

or is it part of the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005820

analysis that

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005821

the Philippines would

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005822

be involved in the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005823

conflict as

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005824

in effect,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005825

a belligerent?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005826

Ganon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005827

Na ma-involve tayo sa gera.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005828

Meron bang ganong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005829

assessment ang NSC?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005830

Yes. Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005831

more so the assessment of the NSC

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005832

is more of the risk on the evacuation

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005833

of the OFWs,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005834

the different nationals

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005835

with regards to also

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005836

our humanitarian efforts

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005837

here in the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005838

So, not so much yung kung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005839

ma-involve tayo as a party at war.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005840

Parang ganon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005841

Involved in arms conflict.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005842

Not so much, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005843

Okay. Now,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005844

si Pangulong Marcos,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005845

and presumably ang mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005846

statement niya may input ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005847

NSC on this

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005848

matter, and of course

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005849

the President is

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005850

the Chief Architect

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005851

of Foreign Policy, di ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005852

Siya ang nagtatakda niyan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005853

In a recent interview

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005854

with

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005855

FOCAP, with the

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005859

Yung last August,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005860

he made some statement,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005861

the following statements, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005862

That the Philippines

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005863

will not allow

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005864

other countries to use

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005865

its bases in the event of a war

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005866

between China and Taiwan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005867

Quote,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005868

Philippines has no desire to be a

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005869

belligerent nation in the region.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005870

Okay?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005871

And,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005872

to quote further,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005873

no,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005874

there will be no attacks on

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005875

anyone from the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005876

We have no interest in that.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005877

Unquote.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005878

All we are concerned

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005879

about is the defense of our territory

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005880

and the maintenance of peace and stability

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005881

in the region.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005882

That is all that the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005883

Philippines is concerned with. That is

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005884

all the Philippines will promote. That is

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005885

all that the Philippines will endorse

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005886

and support.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005887

So, ayun po. Medyo malinaw po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005888

yung mga pahayag.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005889

Na, no attacks

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005890

from the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005891

The Philippines will not

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005892

allow any attacks from anyone in the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005893

Of course, ang context nito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005894

kahit nung tinanong, is

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005895

the mutual

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005896

defense treaty with the US.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005897

So, paano kung na-involve ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005898

US sa gera

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005899

laban sa China over Taiwan?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005900

Bagay na pinag-ahandaan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005901

ng US.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005902

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005903

As far as,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005904

the US

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005905

defense policy

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005906

is concerned,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005907

meron silang tinatawag na Davidson

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005908

window after some

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005909

general

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005910

who claimed

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005911

that

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005912

2027

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005913

is the target date

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005914

of China

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005915

based on Xi Jinping

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005916

pronouncement

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005917

to be ready for an

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005918

invasion of Taiwan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005919

For the forcible

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005920

integration of Taiwan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005921

or unification of Taiwan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005922

with China. So, meron silang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005923

nominal,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005924

at least as far as the US

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005925

defense establishment is concerned,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005926

yun ang framework nila na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005927

2027,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005928

China will be prepared

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005929

and may actually

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005930

launch an actual

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005931

invasion of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005932

China. Meron ganon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005933

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005934

So, in that event, ano mangyayari sa Pilipinas?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005935

Sumasang ayon po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005936

O tama po ba ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005937

or

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005938

klaro po ang sinabi ng Pangulo?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005939

Sabi, no

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005940

no attacks.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005941

Hindi pwedeng gamitin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005942

ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005943

Pilipinas bilang lunsara

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005944

ng atake

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005945

sa ibang bansa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005946

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005947

Is that confirmed by

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005948

the analysis and standpoint?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005949

of the National Security

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005950

Council. Ganun nga po ba talaga?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005951

ang pagtingin natin na hindi maaaring gamitin ang Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005952

Alam natin maraming mga base na binukas ang Pilipinas sa U.S. under EDCA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005953

Many of them are precisely in the northern Luzon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005954

Dahil nga ang interest ng U.S. ay Taiwan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005955

So ang pinakamga bagong binuksan dyan, yung sa Lalo Airport,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005956

ano pa ba, sa Isabela, meron din, diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005957

Of course, yung Fort Magsaysay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005958

These are currently, as well as non-EDCA sites, lalo na yung Batanes,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005959

yung U.S. nag-invest para i-upgrade yung mga port facilities in Batanes,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005960

including the northernmost island.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005961

Yun yatang mabulis.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005962

So yung U.S. naghahanda dyan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005963

Yung U.S. military, they regularly hold exercises with the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005964

May mga nakabasis silang assets, including Air Force assets na nagpapatrolya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005965

From Lalo Airfield to the northern portions of Luzon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005966

including over the Luzon Strait,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005967

precisely in preparation for this so-called Taiwan conflict.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005968

So, ganun nga po ba ang pagtingin ng NSA na hindi maaaring gamitin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005969

ang mga basing ito ng U.S. para gawing lunsara ng atake kontra sa China?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005970

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005971

Is that consistent with the pronouncement?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005972

Is that consistent with the pronouncement of the President?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-005973

Yes, the agency agrees with our distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005974

Yes.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005975

O, yun lang. Yun yung sagot.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005976

Okay, then, question.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005977

Isa po sa mga well-known and controversial deployments made by the U.S.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005978

under the Mutual Defense Treaty,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005979

EDCA,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005980

and so on,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005981

is the deployment of the Typhoon missile system.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005982

So, meron pong launcher.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005983

Yung Typhoon launcher.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005984

And in fact,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005985

initially,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005986

it is well known that it was deployed

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005987

at Balawag Airport.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005988

Itang kita po doon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005989

Nandun yung launcher.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005990

So, may complex yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005991

Merong mga, mainly, it's a mobile launcher.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005992

May malaking track, may mahabang trailer.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005993

Tapos nandun yung launcher.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005994

And it is also well known that the system is capable of launching the Tomahawk missile,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005995

which is an offensive weapon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005996

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005997

Precisely, it is, uh?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005999

We can call it a long-range weapon, something like 1,600 kilometers

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006000

mula sa Northern Luzon, abot na abot sa, hindi lang sa Taiwan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006001

kung hindi kahit sa mainland China.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006002

At hindi lang dineploy doon, nananatili pa rin nakadeploy ngayon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006003

and just recently, a few months ago, there was a test firing

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006004

of the Typhoon missile system from Tacloban Airport

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006005

tapos yung target, the test target was in Fort Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006006

over 600 kilometers daw.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006007

Okay, so ano ibig sabihin nun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006008

Does that not contradict the open pronouncements of the President himself

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006009

and the NSC now, na hindi pa hihintulutan ng Pilipinas na maging lunsaran,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006010

eh meron nga offensive missile system ang mga Amerikano dito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006011

at hindi lang yun, tinesting pa nila.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006012

At malinaw naman, gagamitin yun, hindi sa loob ng Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006013

Kung hindi gagamitin yun, for offensive purposes,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006014

against, in the end, it will be against China in the Taiwan conflict.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006015

So, paano po yun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006016

Paano po yun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006017

How do we reconcile?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006018

Sabi ng Pangulo, no offensive weapons, no attacks from the Philippines,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006019

and yet, nag-host ng offensive missile system,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006020

with such capability, the Typhoon missile system, ang US.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006021

Ano pong paliwanag ng NSC dito?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006022

Yes, Mr. Speaker, the stance of the NSC is that

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006023

these exercises actually are exercise of,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006024

of Philippine sovereignty.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006025

With, particularly, with this launcher,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006026

this is an assessment of the capabilities,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006027

also of the Philippines, with regards to its defense posture.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006028

So, it's not in itself an offensive exercise.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006029

It's really just to measure and assess the capabilities of the Philippines

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006030

with regards to defending its territory, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006031

Well, thank you for that.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006032

Well, I just wanted to point out here,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006033

there seems to be a contradiction between the public pronouncements

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006034

of the President himself, no less than the President.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006035

Sinasabi niya sa local and international audiences

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006036

na hindi niya papaintulutan na gamitin ang teritoryo ng Pilipinas

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006037

para gawing lunsaran ng atake, lalo na ng US,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006038

dahil ayaw natin maging party sa conflict.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006039

On the other hand, patuloy naman ang pag-host

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006040

ng, ayun na nga, those very offensive weapon systems

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006041

that only have one use.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006042

The only purpose of the US for that is to attack, obviously.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006043

It's an adversary in whatever conflict, diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006044

So, yun po, pinopoint out natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006045

Either pagkakatiwalaan natin ang sinabi ng Pangulo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006046

o hindi buong katapatan ang naririnig natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006047

kaugnay sa patakarang ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006048

Meron pong kontradiksyon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006049

Yun po ang pinopoint out natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006050

Okay, needless to say,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006051

ang punto rito, kung totoo ang sinasabi ng Pangulo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006052

at ang patakaran ng NSC,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006053

ay dapat i-withdrawal.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006054

I-withdraw yung typhoon missile system na yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006055

Diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006056

Then, malinaw,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006057

walang offensive intent

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006058

na pinahihintulutan ang Pilipinas

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006059

as an exercise of its sovereignty

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006060

and in accordance with the public pronouncement of the President.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006061

Let me move on.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006062

Alam natin, limited ang oras.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006063

May tanong naman tayo kaugnay sa National Action Plan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006064

for Unity, Peace, and Development.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006065

Yung tinatawag na NAP-UPD.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006066

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006067

This has more to do with internal security.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006068

Kung yung isa, pinag-usapan natin, external.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006069

Ito, internal.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006070

At alam natin, ang lead agency na nagpapatupad,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006071

ng tinatawag na NAP-UPD is the NTFL-CAC.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006072

We also know that the vice chair of the NTFL-CAC

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006073

is the National Security Council.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006074

Kaya dito po natin tinatanong.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006075

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006076

Actually,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006077

ang isang tanong ko lang po, muna,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006078

ay tungkol sa legislative agenda.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006079

As found in the document,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006080

the NAP-UPD document,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006081

on page 41 of the said document,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006082

nakalagay po dito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006083

as part of the legislative and policy agenda,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006084

it says here,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006085

the NTFL-CAC shall advocate the passage of laws

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006086

and related policies on the following.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006087

There's one, institutionalizing the whole-of-nation approach,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006088

and then there's number two,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006089

increasing the role and responsibilities of LGUs

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006090

and the Philippine National Police

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006091

in addressing internal security,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006092

particularly through

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006094

amendment of Republic Act 8551

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006095

to transfer the lead role and responsibilities

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006096

in internal security operations to PNP

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006097

with the support of the AFP.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006098

So, apparently, yun ang dalawang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006099

dalawa lang yung legislative agenda

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006100

under this National Action Plan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006101

for Unity, Peace, and Development 2025 to 2028.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006102

So, it's until the end of the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006103

Marcos Jr. administration's term.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006104

Yung sa pangalawa po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006105

parang narinig na natin yan dati, diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006106

And in fact, under the Ramos administration,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006107

that was implemented.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006108

After the repeal of the anti-subversion law,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006109

and then there were peace process,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006110

peace talks,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006111

ay pinahawak sa PNP yung counter-insurgency.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006112

So, apparently,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006113

yan uli ang policy direction

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006114

ng under this plan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006115

Una muna,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006116

ano po ang basis nun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006117

Bakit may ganitong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006118

legislative and policy agenda

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006119

ang NTF-ELCAC?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006120

Basis.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006121

What is the basis?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006122

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006123

This might be related to

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006124

the comprehensive

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006125

archipelagic defense concept,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006126

which basically,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006127

since we're

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006128

refocusing,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006129

we're shifting

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006130

the defense posture of the Philippines

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006131

towards the

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006132

protection of our

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006133

exclusive economic zones.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006134

So, given that

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006135

the military would be

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006136

reoriented towards

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006137

the protection of our

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006138

EEZ,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006139

of course,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006140

that would create

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006141

a vacuum

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006142

that the PNP,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006143

the police,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006144

and the LGUs

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006145

should fill.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006146

Given the

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006147

perspective.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006148

Okay, so,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006149

this is related to the shift

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006150

in focus of the ANP

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006151

to external defense.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006152

Towards the protection

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006153

of our exclusive economic zones.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006154

External defense, including

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006155

exclusive economic zones.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006156

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006157

Actually, yun naman talaga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006158

ang pangunahing,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006159

under the Constitution,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006160

yun ang pangunahing

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006161

mandato,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006162

diba,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006163

ng armed forces,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006164

external defense,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006165

to secure,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006166

the territory.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006167

Diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006168

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006169

Ano na po ang status

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006170

ng ganitong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006171

agenda

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006172

ng NSC,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006173

NTFL-CAC,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006174

and the Marcos Jr. Administration?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006175

Realistic ba to?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006176

Mapatutupad ba to?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006177

Nakikita ba nila

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006178

na bago mag-2028

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006179

ay magagawa na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006180

na ipahawak na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006181

sa LGU

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006182

at

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006183

PNP

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006192

Ang counter-insurgency

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006193

tapos nakapokus

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006194

ang militar

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006195

sa external defense?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006196

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006197

well,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006198

this might be

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006199

a discussion

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006200

for the budget

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006201

deliberations

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006202

of the Department

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006203

of National Defense,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006204

but that is the goal.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006205

That is the goal.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006206

To, of course,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006207

equip our

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006208

uniformed forces

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006209

to fulfill

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006210

this

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006211

comprehensive

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006212

archipelagic

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006213

defense concept.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006214

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006215

So, goal.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006216

So, para ano yan?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006217

Drawing pa lang yan?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006218

Drawing?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006219

These goals are

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006220

incorporated

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006221

within the proposed

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006222

fiscal year

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006223

2027 budget.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006224

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006225

But,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006226

is there already,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006227

hindi ko alam eh,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006228

meron na bang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006229

part of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006230

priority legislation

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006231

na ba ito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006232

ng Marcos Jr.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006233

administration?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006234

Is this part

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006235

of the LEDAC

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006236

priority

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006237

legislative agenda?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006238

At meron na bang bill

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006239

na tumatakbo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006240

sa kongresong ito?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006241

We're looking through

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006242

the

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006243

particular

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006244

legislative agenda.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006245

May proposal kayo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006246

hindi nyo alam.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006247

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006248

Anyway,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006249

sige po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006250

I just wanted an update

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006251

on this

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006252

particular proposal.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006253

Third,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006254

ito po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006255

I noted

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006256

in the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006257

discussion

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006258

discussion

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006259

on

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006260

parang review

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006261

yung mga achievements

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006262

ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006263

NTF-ELCAC,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006264

there is a section,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006265

this is in the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006266

introduction

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006267

of the document,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006268

sabi dito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006269

one of the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006270

achievements daw

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006271

of the NTF-ELCAC

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006272

is situational

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006273

awareness,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006274

empowerment,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006275

and protection

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006276

of various

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006277

sectors and

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006278

institutions

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006279

against

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006280

CPP-NPA

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006281

NDF recruitment

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006282

strengthened.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006283

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006284

napalakas daw

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006285

ng NTF-ELCAC,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006286

and let me

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006287

just

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006288

read into the record

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006289

the account

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006290

of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006291

how this was

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006292

attained.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006293

The NTF-ELCAC

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006294

reached out

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006295

to various sectors

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006296

and institutions

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006297

in the country

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006298

to widen

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006299

and deepen

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006300

stakeholder

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006301

situational

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006302

awareness

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006303

and knowledge.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006304

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006305

yun ang tawag.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006306

situational awareness and knowledge of the ideological, political, and organizational works of the CPP, NPA, and DF,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006307

including human rights and international humanitarian law violations.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006308

The task force vigorously undertook information, education, and advocacy campaigns through fora, seminars, and conferences

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006309

in schools, government offices, and communities, as well as strategic communication initiatives.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006310

Strategic communication initiatives through various media platforms.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006311

At the same time, situational awareness among stakeholders within the international community was enhanced

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006312

through international engagement with the United Nations system, regional or multilateral educations,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006313

international development and donor agencies, overseas Filipino workers and communities, and foreign states.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006314

Okay, I will read it now.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006315

The other ones, sectoral empowerment and protection, notably of the children, youth, and student sectors,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006316

against CPP, NPA, and DF recruitment were vigorously promoted.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006317

Among the significant undertakings are the following,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006318

the PNP-initiated community-based partnerships such as the Kabataan Contra Droga at Terrorismo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006319

which mobilized the youth as partners,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006320

in addressing drug abuse and terrorism,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006321

and the Kapulisan, Simbahan, at Pamayanan, Kasimbayanan program,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006322

which served as a platform of collaboration between PNP faith-based organizations and other stakeholders

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006323

to ensure peace and order and safety in the communities.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006324

And then, collaboration between government and parents organizations such as Yakap ng Magulang and Hands of Our Children,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006325

in the advocacy.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006326

...against CPP-NPA's recruitment of children,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006327

initiatives of the department of education and the commission on higher education

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006328

to strengthen the integration of peace and education in basic and higher education, respectively,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006329

and DEP-EDS closure of the CPP-NPA-NDF-operated salugpungan schools in Mindanao

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006330

to protect young IEP learners from recruitment.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006331

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006332

So...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006333

Kung babasahin mo, parang napakabanayad ng mga pangyayari at nakamit ang mga tagumpay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006334

Pero sa totoo lang, yung binabangit ng pangyayari dito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006335

ito yung ilang taon ng marahas na red tagging, harassment, violation of civil rights and human rights

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006336

of individuals from a very wide spectrum of society mula sa mga profesional, sa mga guro,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006337

sa mga kawani, sa gobyerno, sa labas ng gobyerno, media, pati mga artista, mga workers, mga unionists,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006338

mga indigenous peoples, and so on and so forth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006339

Alam natin yan, yung red tagging. Kaya nga, alam na natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006340

At tumatak talaga yung issue ng red tagging. This is it.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006341

Yung sinasabing situational awareness and strategic communication initiatives.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006342

Ayan po yung constant red tagging on social media using paid trolls and so on and so forth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006343

Using government resources.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006344

Yung Supreme Court mismo, naglabas ng ruling, yung kaugnay sa writ of amparo, yung deduro ruling,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006345

na nagsabi, red tagging is dangerous for the targets of red tagging.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006346

So, yun po ang point natin dito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006347

Ang paglalahad ng mga pangyayari, makikita mo na lang sa bandang dulo dahil may sinabi doon yung pinasara yung mga salugpungan schools.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006348

And that was by no means a peaceful process.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006349

Kung hindi, madugo po yan. Literally, in some cases, may mga namatay po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006350

Maraming pinalikas, maraming mga na-detain, may mga nag-disappear, and so on and so forth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006351

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006352

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006353

yun po yung unang nire-rehistro natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006354

And then, to illustrate my point,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006355

hindi po natatapos to

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006356

dun sa panahon ng nakaraang administrasyon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006357

kundi nagpapatuloy hanggang ngayon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006358

Let me take the case of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006359

the Alliance of Concerned Teachers Region 5 Union.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006360

So, yung Alliance of Concerned Teachers,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006361

pinanggalingan kong organisasyon yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006362

I used to be the national chairperson of ACT.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006363

From 2002 to 2012.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006364

So, then I became a member of the House through ACT Teachers Party List.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006365

Pero, isa sa mga pinagsikapan at pinaghirapan ng Alliance of Concerned Teachers throughout the country.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong

asr-006366

With the indulgence of the Honorable Tinio, please.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006367

Opo, patapos na po tayo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006368

Ay ang pag-unionize ng mga public school teachers.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006369

So, ACT Region 5.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006370

Ang pag-union is the sole and accredited negotiating unit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006371

Yung tanging union na accredited

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006372

ng gobyerno, ng Civil Service Commission,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006373

ng Department of Labor and Employment,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006374

at ng DepEd.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006375

Bilang union

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006376

ng more than 50,000 teachers

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006377

ng DepEd sa Region 5.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006378

Bicol Region.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006455

Tatapusin na po natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006456

Ang point po, yung sinasabi rito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006457

yung situational awareness, empowerment,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006458

and protection of various sectors and institutions

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006459

on the ground, ganyan po yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006460

Yung mga unionista na atend sa training,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006461

kinukuha yung pangalan, tapos iniisa-isa ng PNP.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006462

Yung iba, sabihin, mag-usap tayo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006463

May sinabi isa dito, daan kayo sa ano.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006464

Ito lang, babasahin ko lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006465

Bag-message ka po sa akin kung pauwi ka na po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006466

Maghihintay na lang po ako dito sa police station.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006467

Kung huwi na po kayo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006468

o pinapadaan sa police station.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006469

So, ang tanong po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006470

yan po ba ang pamamaraan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006471

na tinutulak at iniendorso

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006472

ng National Security Council

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006473

para ipatupad yung kanilang so-called

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006474

situational awareness.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006475

Na yung mga lehitimo at legal na public school teacher natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006476

na uma-attend ng kanilang seminar

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006477

para sa unionismo nila

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006478

ay tinatawagan ng police

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006479

at pinapapunta pa sa stasyon

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006480

para magpaliwanag.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006481

Ganun po ba?

Source

Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong

asr-006482

That will be your last question, Honorable Tinio.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006483

Mr. Speaker, that probably would be a concern

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006484

that we be better directed with you.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006485

Directed with the situational awareness

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006486

and knowledge management cluster of the NTFL-CAP.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong

asr-006487

Thank you, Honorable Tinio.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006488

I direct it to the NSE because they are the vice chair

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006489

and I also condemn this harassment

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006490

and violation of basic human rights

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006491

and union rights of our teachers,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006492

particularly in Camarines Sur,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006493

subject to such harassment and intimidation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006494

So, kinukondena po natin ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006495

Kaya po iyan ang isang issue na tinatalaan natin sa record

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006496

na pinapahintulutan ng pondo na inilalaan ng Kongreso

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-006497

sa National Security Council at NTFL-CAP.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong

Who are the suppliers?

Source

Yung subscription po na type, annual po siya.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006579

Pero nag-renew po siya every year.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006580

So annual, nagpo-procure tayo annually?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006581

Apo, for subscription expenses, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

Depende po dun sa type of operation, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006592

Dito sa personal services,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

bakit po ang daming bakante?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006594

Hindi pinipilled up yung plantilya,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006595

pero tumataas po yung personal services,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006596

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

Yung sa personal services po, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

Mga 170 yata, pero ilan ba yung approved na plantilya ninyo?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006603

Kasi nagagalit yung kasamahan ko dito na bakit hindi natin regularize yung ano.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006604

Pupunta na naman sa DOLE ulit.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006605

May nagbabalak dito na ipa-defer dahil hindi pinilapan yung...

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

Kaya ako na lang ang nagtanong, baka ma-defer pa.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006607

So, ilan po yung plantilya positions approved ng DBM?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006618

Opo.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006619

So, bakit po hindi na lang natin pinilapan yun?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006620

Kasi that is a pattern among government agencies.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006621

Ang dami naming kaso sa labor, yung mga private, dahil doon sa contract of service, job order.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006624

Tapos, maraming job order at saka COS.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006625

As per the agency po, Mr. Speaker, ongoing po yung review ng mga applications para po dun sa mga plantilya positions.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006626

Actually, no?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006627

With all due respect, pasensya na, unacceptable yung mga sagot na yun.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006628

Ang tanong ko,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006629

So, hindi ko na lang, bakit mababa yung utilization natin sa budget?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006630

So, hindi ko na lang isa-isahin kung saang banda.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006631

Pero, bakit mababa yung budget utilization ninyo sa 2025?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006632

As per the agency po, Mr. Speaker, may mga delay lang daw po sa procurement.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006633

Dahil po, buhat nung nangyari po.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006634

Sa, ano, straight to foremost, marami pong na-delay na ICT equipment.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006635

Nagka-problema din po sa procurement kasi tumaas po yung mga materyales.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006636

So, nagka-problema sa, ano.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006637

So, hindi na ito magamit.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006638

Yung hindi ninyo nagamit previous year, hindi na talaga ito magamit.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006639

As per the agency, Mr. Speaker, continuing naman daw po.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006640

So, magagamit pa.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006641

Itong 250 million, no, in confidential expenses.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006642

Dito sa hiningin ninyong 250 million, halos kapariha lang ito sa 2026.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006643

But, you did not identify the targets, ano yung sources or operations, no?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006644

Pwede bang ma-devolve yung utilization

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006645

saan natin ito gagamitin without, of course, breaching the national security aspect?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006646

Hindi ko lang maintindihan kasi humihingi tayo, hindi naman natin nagamit.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006647

Hindi natin na-identify saan gagamitin.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006659

Actually, marami akong tanong, pero naawa ako sa sponsor. Kaibigan ko iyan, so dalawa na lang, last two na lang. Pag nasagot iyan, last two out of eight. Walo pa sana yung tanong ko, pero mahirap ipa-defer yung National Security Council.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006661

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague. Thank you for your patience.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006662

Yung listahan po, isasubmit na lang po namin yung poll.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006663

Pero ang pwede ko lang po sabihin para po dun sa confidential funds,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006664

yung National Review of Foreign Investments on Military Cybersecurity,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006665

yung 360 Archipelagic Security Governance,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006666

the Protection of Critical Information Infrastructure through Cybersecurity Efforts,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006667

Crisis Management,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006668

Tapos counter-intelligence operations.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006669

Okay. So, with?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006670

So, Mr. Speaker, kung nahihirapan kayo sa procurement,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006671

I suggest the sponsor will introduce a special provision na

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006672

sana i-release ni DBM first quarter pa para may time pa kayo to procure.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006673

Kasi annual ka mo yung procurement.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006674

Kasi madidiado tayo sa ating National Security Airport.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006675

Kayo pa.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006676

Pa naman ang taga-advice ni Presidente.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006677

So, ito yung second to the last.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006678

Nakita ko, yung operations increased from approximately,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006679

yung expenses sa operations,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006680

increased from approximately 295 million in 2026 to 525 million in 2027,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006681

while the general administration, bumaba siya by more than one half.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006682

Bakit po nire-classify natin ito?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006683

Is this a genuine,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006684

is this only a genuine shift of resources towards the frontline national security functions

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006685

or primarily an accounting program?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006686

Accounting lang para nilipat lang natin ang,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006687

ng ibang account code.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006688

Nire-classify lang natin.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006689

Sinunod lang natin yung definition ng accounting,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006690

accounting is an art.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006691

As per the agency, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006692

kaya daw po bumaba yung sa gas,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006693

kasi may reclassification po ng ibang mga programa.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006694

So, may mga gas daw po na,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006695

may mga programa po na previously classified under the gas.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006696

Pinasok daw po siya sa support to operations.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006697

Nilipat lang ng ibang account code.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006698

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006699

Nire-classify nga lang.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006700

So, a matter of accounting lang ito.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006701

Hindi maapektuhan yung ating trabaho.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006702

A matter of accounting lang.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006703

Baka may audit observation kayo, kaya nilipat ninyo?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006704

Kaya nilipat ninyo?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006705

Wala naman po.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006706

Okay.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006707

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006708

So, last.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006709

Pero sana may anim pa.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006710

Hindi ko maintindihan yung,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006711

performance indicators ninyo.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006712

I don't know if this is part of the

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006713

national security aspect, no?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006714

Your target, halimbawa,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006715

for essential elements

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006716

of information,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006717

2026 is 548.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006718

Pero yung actual accomplishment ninyo is

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006719

5,510.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006720

More than 10 times the target.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006721

Bakit po?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006722

Mag-target ng 548 pero ma-complace 5,500.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006723

Yung ibang agency kasi,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006724

hirap pa nga sila makuha yung target nila.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006725

Sana BIR kayo.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006726

Target 500, makulikta 1,500.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006727

Ako, 5,500.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006728

Bakit po ganun?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006729

Times 10 yung accomplishment.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006730

Typo?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006731

Typo lang yan?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006732

O talagang tama yung number na yan?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006747

Mr. Speaker, as per the agency po, kaya po medyo

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006748

mataas po compared to the target. Depende daw po sa incidents.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006749

Depende sa?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006750

Incidents. So, with regard to kung ilan po yung essential elements na kailangang kunin, kaya po medyo tumaas po.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006763

Again, I am not satisfied with the answer.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006768

May mali talaga sa projection ninyo.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006769

Kasi dapat matalas yung ano ninyo,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006770

National Security Advisor kayo ni Presidente,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006771

tapos sa target man lang ng accomplishment,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006772

napakalayo, 10 times yung error.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006773

So yung margin of error sa susunod,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006774

nandito pa ako sa susunod,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006775

hindi pa matapos yung term ko,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006776

titignan ko ulit yan.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006777

Can we expect that almost accurate, realistic?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006778

Huwag kayo mag-target ng 500,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006779

ang accomplishment 5,500?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006780

Kasi medyo nakakaduda na po yan.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006781

Would you agree with me, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006782

Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006783

na nakakaduda na po yung mag-target ka 500,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006784

ma-accomplish mo 5,500?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006785

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006786

Malayo po talaga, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006787

Though, ang sabi po ng NSA,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006788

NSE,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006789

kasi po,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006790

depended daw po,

Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-006791

talaga sa number of incidents.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006792

Okay, sige.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006793

Tinanggal ko na, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006794

yung anim na katanungan

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006795

kasi alam ko,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006796

mahirapan sila magsagot.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006797

Inaantok na rin po yung presiding officer.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006798

Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006800

malaming salamat sa kasagutan.

asr-006908

including the processing and issuance of amnesty grants

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006909

as well as the institutional requirements necessary for its operations.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006910

In view of the foregoing,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006911

I therefore ask our fellow members of this August Chamber

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006912

to support the proposed budget of the National Amnesty Commission

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006913

for the successful implementation

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006914

of the Amnesty Program.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006915

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

This representation is now ready to answer questions from our colleagues.

Mr. Speaker, I move that we recognize

asr-006923

Honorable Presley De Jesus.

asr-006924

Sir, you may interpellate the sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006925

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006926

I have only a few questions.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006927

First, the National Amnesty Commission was created precisely

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006928

to receive, process, and determine whether applicants are entitled to amnesty

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006929

under Executive Order No. 125,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006930

as amended by Executive Order 47.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006931

This is the Commission's principal statutory mandate.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006932

The application period for the four amnesty proclamations

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006933

ran from March 2024 until March 2026.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006934

Yet, based on the Commission's reported figures,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006935

only 20 applicants have been granted amnesty

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006936

by the close of the application period,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006937

out of approximately 16,000 applicants.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006938

This is equivalent to only 0.1232% of applications received.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006939

How does the Commission justify this level of output

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006940

after two full years of implementation?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006941

More importantly, how many of the 16,230 applications

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006942

have actually been fully evaluated and resolved?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006943

Whether approved, denied, or otherwise disposed of?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006944

And how many remain pending?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006945

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006946

There were several factors that affect this and reasons.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006947

Number one, the incomplete submitted documents.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006948

Many applications lack documents necessary

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006949

for the complete review of the amnesty application.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006950

Requiring them to submit lacking documents

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006951

is challenging due to logistical and financial concerns,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006952

as well as reluctance of other agencies to coordinate.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006953

NAC response: continuous streamlining and simplification

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006954

of process, determining which documentary requirements

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006955

can be dispensed with.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006956

Number two, unresponsive and uncooperative agencies.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006957

Some agencies are not familiar with the NAC.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006958

Some are reluctant to share documents with the NAC.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006959

Some use the Data Privacy Act to refuse NAC access

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006960

to requested documents.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006961

Continuous engagement with these agencies

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006962

to make NAC known to them.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006963

Orientations on the mandate of the NAC,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006964

reiteration that the request for documents

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006965

is pursuant to NAC's mandate,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006966

making it official function.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006967

Number three, difficulty in declaring a quorum

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006968

for lab members.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006969

Many amnesty applications need to undergo

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006970

a case conference by lab members.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006971

Each lab has five members,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006972

which a quorum fixed at three members

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006973

to formally constitute a body.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006974

These lab members are employed primarily

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006975

in different offices.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006976

Thus, their schedules are usually difficult to manage,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006977

resulting in regular meetings.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006978

Ensuring honoraria are released

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006979

in a timely manner.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006980

Proper coordination and engagement

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006981

with the lab members,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006982

capacitating lab secretariat

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006983

on how to coordinate better with lab members.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006984

Number four, different review process.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006985

Review process by the ex-official members

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006986

involve a separate and independent process

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006987

and standard.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006988

This takes up time.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006989

It takes up time that is not within the process

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006990

that can be controlled by NAC.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006991

NAC response is to continue coordination,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006992

streamlining of process,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006993

regular process check,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006994

and technical working group meetings.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006995

Designation of personnel

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006996

to specifically follow up

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006997

with each ex-official member.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006998

Number five, low manpower.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-006999

With the postponement of hiring of COS

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007000

imposed by civil service,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007001

the NAC operates with its limited manpower.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007002

With the surge of the amnesty application

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007003

received corresponding increase in manpower

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007004

to who will process this amnesty application.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007005

Necessary.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007006

The response of NAC.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007007

Letter request sent to COA DBM

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007008

and civil service for an exemption.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007009

Streamlining of process to simplify

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007010

or shorten process for faster processing.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007011

Continuous capacity building

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007012

and process checking.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007013

Commitment to deliver NAC mandate

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007014

and digitalization.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007015

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007016

Thank you,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007017

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007018

Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007019

Record shows that

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007020

there are currently 16,230 pending applicants

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007021

for amnesty.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007022

Yet the data indicates that only

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007023

20 applications have been approved

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007024

over the past three years.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007025

So we're

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007026

just averaging 7 applicants

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007027

per year. It will

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007028

take the commission over

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007029

two millennia to clear

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007030

the existing backlog.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007031

What concrete time-bound strategy is

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007032

the NAC implementing to

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007033

accelerate the vetting approval process?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007034

Because for the last 3 years,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007035

Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007036

20 lang.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007037

So we're averaging 7

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007038

per year. So we have

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007039

16,000. So ano pong strategy

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007040

ang gagawin natin para po

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007041

mapabilis itong

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007042

mga nag-apply po ng amnesty?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007043

Well,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007044

right now, 3,000

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007045

result of the amnesty

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007046

is 3,166.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007047

Distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007048

So maliho yung

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007049

20 for the last 3 years?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007050

Actually,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007051

the 20

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007052

is already granted by the President.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007053

Yes, for the last 3 years.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007055

In fact,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007056

office of the, I'm sorry,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007057

but it's office of the President,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007058

25, 25

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007059

distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007060

And as

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007061

earlier also as I've mentioned,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007062

those 5 factors

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007063

that can make it

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007064

faster

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007065

for the processing

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007066

of the application.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007067

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007068

So in the next,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007069

few years ba, makikita natin,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007070

it will,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007071

we will granted more

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007072

amnesty aside from

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007073

the 20 na na-mention. Bibilis ho ba ito?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007074

So ano ba yung proseso na gagawin nyo

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007075

para mapabilis? Everything has been

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007076

vetted, right?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007077

Tomorrow, there will be a right shop.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-007078

Okay.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007078-split-2

Especially

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007079

if the budget for NAC will be

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007080

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007377

well,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007378

it's true that there was a

backlog.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007380

Yeah?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007381

And it was because, I think,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007382

one of the factors was

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007383

the BARM election.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007384

Now that the BARM

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007385

election is ready,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007386

already, or finished,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007387

or materialized,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007388

come 2026,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007389

there's already a

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007390

increase in target.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007391

It's like

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007392

67%

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007393

with

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007397

is going to be 70%.

84%.

Overall,

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007409

has already achieved 71.4% of its peace agreement commitment with the following breakdown.

Program 4, GPH-RPM-PRPA-ABB peace process, 84.6%.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007414

Babalikan po natin yan, Mr. Sponsor, yung katanungan dyan.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007415

Dito po sa National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007416

Noong 2025, ang target po ng OPAPRO ay,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007417

600 WPS beneficiaries and 20 localized implementation.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007418

Tapos sa output, lumalabas po 3,227.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007419

And out of the 600 target na beneficiaries,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007420

ang output ay 3,227 beneficiaries and 43 localized implementation.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007421

Out of the target of 20 na localized implementation.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007422

Ngayon, for 2027,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007423

ang target po ng OPAPRO ay 650 and 20 respectively.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007424

So this is kind of weird, Mr. Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007425

kasi bakit po yung target ngayon for fiscal year 2027

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007426

ay mas mababa compared to the actual accomplishment.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007427

The question, Mr. Sponsor, Mr. Speaker,

Source

ano po ba yung sa universe po ng targets ng OPAPRO?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007429

Ano ba talaga yung tinatarget?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007430

Particularly on National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007431

Kasi kung titignan natin, Mr. Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007432

2025, target, 600 beneficiaries, lagpas-lagpas.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007433

And then come 2027, nire-request ngayon ng OPAPRO,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007434

600 yung target.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007435

So in the universe of targets, ano ba yung target na pinag-uusapan natin, Mr. Sponsor?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007436

Yes.

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007437

Honorable Colleague, if I may please explain first,

asr-007438

just like to explain about this National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007439

and its localization is 2023 to 2033.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007440

It's being localized through trainings, civil society collaboration, and integration,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007441

of women's peace and security into plans, budgets, and leadership programs.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007442

Women's participation expanding in recovery, psychosocial services, and reintegration,

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007443

while academic and local partners strengthen leadership capacity through joint action

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007444

with other and other.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007445

And as CWPS members, member agencies, such as DOH, DSWD, and TESDA.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007446

Persistent gaps include limited data, uneven policy support, and weak integration across programs.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007447

Recognizing this, National NAPWPS Dashboard,

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007457

Mr. Sponsor, to save time, makikihingi na lang po ang kinatawang ito ng yung targets po, yung binabanggit niyo po kanina, on National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007458

If this can be furnished to my office para po makita natin, would that be okay to the OPA Pro?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007459

Yes, of course.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007460

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007461

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007462

Balikan ko po yung punto ko kanina doon sa hinihinging budget at doon sa outcome indicators, performance indicators ng OPA Pro.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007463

Doon sa normalization track kasi merong mga major component yan.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007464

Security, socioeconomic development, confidence building, transitional justice, and reconciliation.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007465

Kaya po yung tanong ko kanina, humihingi o nagre-request ang OPA Pro ng mas mataas na budget, but the targets remain the same.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007466

So, bakit nagre-request ng mas papalaking budget ang OPA Pro pero yung targets ay hindi gumagalaw?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007467

So, if we're going to take a look into the...

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007468

Outcome indicators, almost the same since 2022.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007469

16% 2022, 20% 2024, 20% 2025, 20% ulit 2026, and you are targeting 20% for 2027.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007470

This representation would like to be clarified on the matter, ano ba itong 20% na pinag-uusapan natin?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007471

20% of what?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007472

Again, the normalization track has major components.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007473

20% of what ang kinukomplete natin dito?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007474

And the following question to that, why is it only 20%?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007475

In the general targets, but 20%, iplinakda ng 20% since the previous years, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007476

Yes, Honorable Distinguished Colleague, there is a catch-up plan for the MIL.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007477

20,000.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007478

There are 40,000 MILF combatants, and 26,000.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007479

There are right now 26,145 existing, and we have 40,000 more combatants.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007480

And there is a catch-up plan that will be implemented.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007481

So, ito po sa combatants po ito, no?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007482

For the final...

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007483

Phase noong decommissioning.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007484

Sa socio-economic plan nito.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007485

Yes, decommissioning.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007486

Kaya nga po, ang tanong ko, doon sa 20%, kasi maraming components yan eh.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007487

Ano ba yung tina-target ng OPA-PRO?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007488

Doon sa 20%?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007489

Socio-economic.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007490

Socio-economic?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007491

Yes.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007492

So, on the socio-economic provisions, doon sa normalization track, 20%.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007493

What about yung other targets po, other components ng Annex of Normalization?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007494

Ano po ang target nito?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007495

Very general po nakalagay.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007496

So, 20% across all components po ba ito?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007497

Ang pinakamalaki, kula, colleague, ay ang security, socio-economic, and my partner na security.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007498

Security.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007499

So, nasa socio-economic and security component of the normalization.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007500

Mr. Sponsor, pwede po bang may we request from the OPA-PRO to...

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007501

Ano pa yung transitional justice?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007502

So, part din yung transitional justice.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007503

Mr. Sponsor, to save time, kasi hindi po malinaw yung sagot ng OPA-PRO as to the major components of the normalization track.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007504

So, makikihingi na lang po ng data, ang kinatawang ito, yung breakdown.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007505

How much is allocated for security, for transitional justice, reconciliation?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007506

Kasi doon po sa performance indicators ng OPA-PRO, malabo eh. General as 20%.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007507

And in line po sa binanggit nyo kanina, Mr. Sponsor, binanggit nyo yung doon sa decommissioning of MILF combatants.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007508

That is true, no? Nasa fourth and final phase, ang decommissioning involving 14,000 combatants and around 2,450 weapons.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007509

But the latest update to this, and the OPA-PRO would like to clarify,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007510

clarify this matter, itinigil ito eh. Tama po ba? Itinigil itong fourth phase, Mr. Sponsor?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007511

Actually, 26,145 existing and there is a balance of 14,000. Makes it 40,000.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007512

Tama, Mr. Sponsor. Nakapag-decommission na ng 26,000.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007513

Yes. 26,145.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007514

Yes. May remaining pa na 14,000.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007515

Yes.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007516

Ngayon, kaya po natigil itong decommissioning.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007517

Kaya po natigil itong decommissioning of 14,000 MILF combatants kasi may pronouncement ang MILF.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007518

In fact, this has been issued by the Central Committee of MILF.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007519

In fact, last budget deliberation, Mr. Sponsor, tinigil ito mismo ng MILF dahil hindi nila nakikitaan ng kaseryosuhan

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007520

yung Government of the Republic of the Philippines in finishing or delivering other components

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007521

of the normalization track.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007522

The question to the OPA-PRO is, what is the current status?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007523

Kasi, Mr. Sponsor, nung nakaraang budget deliberation, the MILF has already declared they are losing trust in the peace process

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007524

because of the predecessor of the good secretary.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007525

In fact, they have said in many, in many, in numerous news clippings that the predecessor of the good secretary is a saboteur of peace.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007526

That is why, it is in their position, being the party to the peace negotiation, to stop the decommissioning of 14,000 combatants.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007527

The question is, Mr. Sponsor, ano na po yung status ng pag-uusap?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007528

Kasi kailangan uli ma-build yung confidence eh na makipag-usap yung other party doon sa table.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007529

And sadly, Mr. Sponsor, and to the good secretary,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007530

sadly, the predecessor of the current secretary has not addressed these grave issues and concerns

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007531

as raised by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007532

So, what is the status of this decommissioning, the fourth and final phase of decommissioning?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007533

Yes, distinguished colleague, the GPH is targeting to commence phase four decommissioning in 2028.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007534

However,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007535

the decommissioning is a joint GPH-MILF undertaking and is for further discussion and agreement between the GPH-MILF implementing panels.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007536

So, may 2028 po, no?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007537

2028, tama po ba, Mr. Sponsor?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007538

From September 25, no?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007539

There will be a KL meeting to consider resumption of the decommissioning.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007540

So, may, it, that's the OPAP rule confirmed through the sponsor na meron ng positive development on the matter?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007541

One of the things to be discussed in Kuala Lumpur is the date for the decommissioning.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007542

So, also, for the information of our distinguished colleague, the OPAP head by our secretary,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007543

as chair of the panel of the government, headed by our secretary, Mel Sarmento,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007544

had a very good, productive meeting with Chairman Murad in Darapanan.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007545

That is a very welcome development, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007546

Hearing that.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007547

There is already a positive development regarding the peace negotiation between the GRP and the MILF.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007548

Actually, ito po yung inaantay natin na sagot dahil hindi po ito in-address ng predecessor ng butihing sekretary ngayon.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007549

And in fact, if I can remember correctly, the predecessor of the good secretary has requested for an executive session.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007550

And yet, wala pong nangyari doon sa executive session.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007551

So, maganda pong balita na binabalita po ng OPAPRU na merong productive meeting between GRP and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front through its chair, Chair Alhaj Murad.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007552

Makikihingi na lang po ng datos sa OPAPRU through the sponsor regarding po dito sa timetable sa pagkumpleto ng normalization and reaching the exit agreement,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007553

if that document is available.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007554

Mr. Sponsor.

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007555

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007556

Distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007557

By the way,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007558

OPA-PRO is also chair of the government panel.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007559

Yes, yes, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007560

There are two positions of our good Secretary Sarmiento.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007561

Thank you, thank you, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007562

Now, yung mga hinihingi na lang po na dokumento, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007563

Yes, rest assured, that was...

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007564

Moving on, dito po sa...

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007565

Well, last year, naging malaking issue ko po ito sa OPA-PRO

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007566

and it wasn't really answered by the previous Secretary.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007567

In the PDP 2024 Midterm Update,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007568

the progress report, take note, this was the progress report.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007569

One of the performance indicators

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007570

is to complete the implementation of all signed agreements.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007571

Take note, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007572

That in 2024 Midterm Update of OPA-PRO,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007573

it was indicated here, green check,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007574

meaning it is already fully implemented and institutionalized.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007575

So, kiniklaim ng OPA-PRO in 2024,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007576

sabi nila, fully implemented and completed na itong part na to.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007577

Now, Mr. Sponsor, Mr. Speaker,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007578

in the 2025 PDP Midterm Update,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007579

what was considered,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007580

as fully implemented in 2024 PDP,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007581

ngayon, naging dilaw na.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007582

Ibig sabihin,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007583

partially implemented and institutionalized.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007584

So, ang tanong dito, Mr. Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007585

bakit yung progress report ng OPA-PRO paatras?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007586

Yes, there was a mistake.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007587

It's admitted

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007588

that there was a mistake

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007589

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007592

Instead of yellow,

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007593

the face here, it's a...

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007594

Previous.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007595

Previous.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007596

So, it was a mistake po, Mr. Sponsor, no?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007597

Sabi po ng OPA-PRO.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007598

Mr. Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007599

I am really sorry, Mr. Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007600

pero iba po kasi yung sagot ng OPA-PRO last budget season eh.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007601

Sabi po ng OPA-PRO last budget season,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007602

hindi naman yan, hindi naman yan yung actual report.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007603

Hindi naman yan, hindi naman yan yung actual report.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007604

Ang target namin

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007605

was simply a target

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007606

and to which I responded.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007607

How can it be a target

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007608

when it is very clear

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007609

in the PDP midterm report

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007610

it is actual progress report.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007611

So hindi po mag-wo-work

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007612

yung ganong binabanggit ng OPA-PRO.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007613

It is not simply a target,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007614

it is actually,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007615

kung iida-digest natin

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007616

dito sa PDP report, progress report

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007617

regression siya.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007618

So, which is which?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007619

Honorable Distinguished Colleague, ang naging totoo nito ay yung process. Institutionalize siya before the parties agreed. That's why institutionalize.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007620

In the PDP midterm update, what is the context of completed all the implementation of peace signed agreement?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007621

It doesn't present that the implementation of all signed peace agreements have already been completed.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007622

But referring to the status progress of the strategy complete,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007623

the implementation of all signed peace agreement has fully institutionalized, not fully implemented.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007624

Fully institutionalized completion of the implementation of the signed peace agreement

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007625

means significant milestone or substantial progress have been achieved under the signed peace agreement

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

Hindi ko po maunawaan yung justification.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007631

Naintindihan ko kung ito yung inabutan ng butihing sekretary, Mel Sarmiento.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007633

The justification being presented now by OPA Pro through the Sponsor

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007634

is not really acceptable because nagsisemantics po tayo eh.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

The green bullet in the legend specifically say,

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

fully implemented slash institutionalized.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007637

So, Mr. Sponsor, hindi po ito either or, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007638

So, hindi ko maintindihan, Mr. Sponsor, if the predecessor,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007639

of the good sekretary, is really not telling the truth?

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

Yes.

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

If I'm correct, I heard my colleague saying that ito yung inabutan ng sekretary. That's why hindi siya maka-respond doon sa mangyari.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007674

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Sponsor, and to the good sekretary. At least nagkaroon na po tayo ng kalinawan. Ang gusto ko lang po kasi i-correct, mahirap po na nagbabago-bago tayo ng report on PDP.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007675

And it is a good development po na may ganong admission po from the good sekretary.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007676

I'm moving on po, Mr. Sponsor. Dito naman po tayo sa PAMANA. Ang PAMANA po ay hindi lang simple yung General Development Fund.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007677

It is intended for conflict-affected and conflict-vulnerable areas. So it operates within the framework of peace process.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007678

Ngayon po, nangihingi ang OPAPRU ng 6.090 billion for PAMANA. For the interest of time po, can the OPAPRU through the sponsor describe papaano nag-ooperate yung nire-request na PAMANA dito po sa framework ng peace process?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007679

Just to be very specific on this, at baka po makapagbigay ng example ang OPAPRU.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007680

Ano bang magbigay? Random sampling na lang po tayo. Tatlong areas wherein merong PAMANA.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007681

Saan ang region or area na may pinakamalaking allocation? Ano yung specific conflict driver? Bakit naglagay ng malaking pondo for PAMANA on that specific region?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007682

Tapos ano yung existing or governing peace agreement? And then ano yung outcome na inaabot natin?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007683

So kasi again, ang punto dito, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007684

Mr. Speaker, PAMANA is not just any general development fund. It is intended to address conflict vulnerabilities in many areas.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007685

So pwede po bang pakidescribe ng OPAPRU papaano nag-ooperate yung PAMANA doon sa framework na binanggit ng representasyong ito?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007686

Thank you, distinguished colleague. If I may read, the PAMANA program is anchored on the government strategy of winning the peace by 40%.

nagkaroon po ako ng part

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007726

at that time.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007727

I was working then

as a presidential assistant

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007729

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007731

Ngayon po, may mga projects na sila

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007732

sa alam ko, sa Agusan del Norte.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007733

Di lang makasigurado.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007734

I just want to be sure.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007735

Mayroon sa Agusan.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007736

And, in fact,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007737

just two months ago,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007738

I went around 13 rural schools.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007739

And, doon,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007740

nahingian po ako ng water.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007741

Very important

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007742

ang water supply.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007743

That's why, siguro,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007744

mag-a-apply din ako

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007745

para sa distrito ko.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007746

So,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007747

PAMANA supports the completion

of PAMANA.

and enhances

connectivity.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007757

Mr. Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007758

pwede po bang makarequest

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007759

ang kinatawang ito

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007760

ng allocation

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007761

ng PAMANA na naka-disaggregate

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007762

per region?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007763

And, what particular PAMANA projects

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007764

are being allocated?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007765

Willing po ang office ng OPAPRO

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007766

na mag-submit ng

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007767

specific po yan.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007768

Ang punto ko kasi dito,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007769

Mr. Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007770

dito po sa PAMANA,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007771

hindi po ba ito

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007772

duplication?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007773

Kasi, ang siste po,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007774

ang PAMANA ay

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007775

pass-through sa OPAPRO.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007776

Hindi po ba ito duplication?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007777

Nalimbawa, may agricultural support

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007778

for farmers.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007779

Meron ng DA.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007780

Merong ROADS.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007781

Actually, kalakhan po ng budget

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007782

doon sa PAMANA, nasa ROADS.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007783

Meron naman DP

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007784

o meron po pwedeng ibang agencies.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007785

So, ano po yung rason

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007786

kung bakit

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007787

nagpa-pass-through pa sa PAMANA

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007788

at nagdu-duplicate?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007789

Say, for example,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007790

if the issue is

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007791

to provide educational assistance

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007792

in conflict-vulnerable areas

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007793

or conflict areas,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007794

we already have an agency

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007795

which can directly

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007796

address the problem.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007797

So, instead of putting it

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007798

through PAMANA

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007799

and OPAPRO as a

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007800

pass-on agency,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007801

why do we need

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007802

or what is the justification

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007803

for PAMANA?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-007804

Mr. Sponsor.

yung pagpatong

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007811

or duplication nga.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007812

From the endorsement,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007813

there are areas,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007814

well, almost all,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007815

nagkakaroon ng MOA,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007816

sometimes with the LGU.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007817

Siyempre, yung LGU,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007818

pag nakita na meron,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007819

hindi na rin pwede.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007820

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007821

the validation of projects

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007822

by the PAMANA

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007823

and NPMO

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007824

ensure no duplication

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007825

in the targets,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007826

specifically the projects

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007827

and project location indoors.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007828

The OPAPRO

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007829

closely coordinates

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007830

with concerned agencies

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007831

and or offices

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007832

during site validation.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007833

Also, one of the key considerations

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007834

in the enlistment of projects

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007835

include the uncertainty

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007836

that is no funding

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007837

from other offices

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007838

units.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007839

Further safeguarding this,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007840

the MOA requires

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007841

the attachment of the search,

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007842

identification from the partner,

ang OPA-PRO ay merong...

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008251

ang obligasyon na i-validate ang implementation ng PAMANA program by the DSWD, NCIP, at PhilHealth.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008252

At ang kabuoang halaga na ini-implement ng mga ahensya na ito ay nasa 1.4 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008253

Mr. Sponsor, maaari bang ipaliwanag kung ano ang pagkakaiba nito sa 6.9 billion

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008254

that will be directly implemented by the OPA-PRO?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008255

Yung nabanggit niyo po na yung mga NCIP, PhilHealth, DSWD, PhilHealth, and NCIP,

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008256

diretso po ito sa agencies such as DSWD, PhilHealth, and NCIP.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008257

Pero ang OPA-PRO po ay may obligasyon.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008258

Na i-validate ito. Tama po ba?

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008259

At kung aking babalikan po kanina, ibig sabihin na yung 1.4 billion ay directang mapupunta sa mga ahensyang nasabi

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008262

at ito'y nakaseparate doon sa 6.9 billion. Tama?

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, mas malaki na ang ginagampanan role ng OPA-PRO sa pagpapatupad ng pamana program.

asr-008266

Paano masisiguro ng OPA-PRO na meron itong capacity para i-implement ito effectively

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008267

at ano ang 2027 targets ng OPA-PRO para sa pamana program?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

Ang OPA-PRO ay hindi po nag-implement.

And you are just waiting.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008416

So ibig sabihin kung wala pong pondo mula sa DBM, wala rin pong mabibigay yung OPA Pro, tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008417

Hindi. Lahat naman po tayo, kahit tayo dito sa Congress, ay nakaano rin sa DBM.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008418

Diba?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008419

So we'd like to have...

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008420

Ang ano po eh, kung pwedeng matulungan ng Kongreso, tayo ho.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008421

Baka matulungan natin ng OPA Pro na ma-release yung pondo na inaantay nila.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008422

So, klaruhin ko lang po ha.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008423

May budget, pero kailangan. Ang cash wala pa.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008424

Yes. Ang ibig sabihin po ng subject to availability of funds ay nagdidepende sa DBM kung kailan niya i-release sa inyo ang pondo.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008425

Yes.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008426

Tama po. Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008427

Finally, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008428

Paano sisiguraduhin ng OPA?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008429

OPA Pro na matatanggap ng mga scholars ang kanilang grants sa mga susunod?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008430

Ano ang inyong mga mechanism sa pag-i-implement ng mga scholarship program or grants na ito?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008431

Again, pingin sa kulig. Just like nung napag-usapan natin a while ago bago ng tanong, lahat ito depends sa pag-release ng pondo ng DBM.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008432

Yes.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008433

Yan po nito, no, Mr. Sponsor. Ang akin lamang po ay ang katanungan ko ay particular sa OPA Pro na ano po kaya ang mekanismo ng i-implement nila para hindi na po mangyari ang mga ganito sa susunod.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008434

Ah, yung MOA po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008435

Alam ko na ang DBM po ang nag-re-release, ngunit on their part, ano pong ginagawa nila dito?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008436

Nagkakaroon po ng tuloy-tuloy naman ang pakipag-communicate ng OPA Pro sa mga students.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008437

Office of the President and sa mga estudyante, no?

Madam Speaker, ah, Mr. Speaker, ah, Mr. Sponsor, dadako naman po ako ngayon sa Transitional Justice and Reconciliation, yung roadmap po, no?

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008452

Babalikan ko yung sinabi niyo pong enhancement to file bills in H.O.R. and Senate.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008453

Alam niyo po, Mr. Sponsor, dito po sa H.O.R., kami pa lang po sa Akbayan Reform Block ang nag-file ng T.J.R., no?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008454

Siguro po, kung plano din po ito ng, o papro, enhancement to file bills on H.O.R. and Senate,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008455

sana po ay mas maipush ninyo pa po itong Kongreso, ang ating mga distinguished colleagues na mag-file or mag-co-author man lang po dito, no?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008456

Kasi hindi po, sa ngayon po, hindi po kasi yun namin nakikita.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008457

We filed our bill last year, noong July pa, pero hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin po ito gumagalaw.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008458

We need the oppa pro to help us on this matter as well.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008459

Huwag niyo pong isaalang-alang lang po dito sa Kongreso na kami lang ang gagalaw dito.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008460

Kailangan din po namin ito kasi ito po yung continuing process ninyo po, no?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008461

So, dadako naman po ako sa isa pang katanungan.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008462

Sa mga na-identify na activities at priority deliverables ng oppa pro,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008463

confirm if meron silang budget under the 2027 para rito.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-008464

Lahat po nung nabanggit nyo kanina.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008465

For fiscal year 2027, 66 million has been allotted for the TGR aspect of the normalization program.

This includes 14 million for track 1 establishment of the NTJRCB and 51 million for track 2 support.

To the four TGR pillars.

This includes programs, interventions such as parcelary land inventory of the areas inside the six MIL camps,

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008473

Maraming salamat po.

asr-008474

Sana po ay makareceive po tayo ng updates sa mga programs and activities na ito moving forward po, no?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Finally, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, ano-ano ang mga milestone or targets ng OPA-PRO in relation sa TGR roadmap para sa 2027 po?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-008477

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Anyway, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, bilang panghuling paksa na tatanungin ko po sa inyo, yung tungkol po sa Women, Peace and Security, isang katanungan na lamang po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

In closing, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, ang aming kritikal na pagsuporta ay may kasamang hamon.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Paano rin po ang disbursement nito sa beneficiaries?

Direkta ba nila itong natatanggap o sa SUCLUC na ito diretsyong napupunta?

Hindi ba isa rin ito sa maituturing na redundant na programa?

Pero ang paghawak pa rin ng pagtingin ng representasyong ito ay nababahala tayo

dahil ang pamana program ng OPAPRU ay ginagamit para sa mga diumanoy rebel returnees.
