Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

via CCTVs po

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000275

doon sa command center nila.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000276

Hindi rin po

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000277

pwedeng itigil

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000278

of course ng MMDA fully

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000279

ang kanilang Clearing Ops dahil

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000280

obviously sa Metro Manila

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000281

ang dami hong lumalabag sa ganitong

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000282

mga, yung nangyayari ho, ang daming

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000283

sa banketa

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000284

na sinasakop nila

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000285

yung banketa. So, kailangan

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000286

ipagpatuloy pa rin ho yung

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000287

Clearing Ops. Meron ho silang

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000288

he is undergoing

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000289

administrative

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000290

investigation as of now.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000291

Immediately ho,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000292

after natanggap yung

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000293

sulat po ng Teachers' Dignity

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000294

Coalition, ay

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000295

sinuspend na ho siya. Sinuspend

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000296

ho siya, hindi ho siya

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000297

kasama sa mga Clearing Ops

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000298

on the ground. Doon po siya

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000299

sa command center, nagmamonitor.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000300

So, dahil nga,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000301

meron ho siyang

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000302

pending po yung kanyang investigation

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000303

ngayon, administrative investigation.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000304

Ang resolution po nito

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000305

ay lalabas naman po

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000306

within this year.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000307

Ngayon, kailangan rin ho

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000308

intindihin natin na ang

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000309

status niya ho ay

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000310

isa siyang regular employee.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000311

So, he has to be accorded

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000312

due process.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000313

Ang MMDA po ay

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000314

sinulatan, inano ho siya

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000315

asked him in

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000316

writing through a show-cause order

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000317

doon ho sa naging incidenting ito.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000318

So,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000319

aside from this,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000320

nag-undergo po siya ng five-day

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000321

training, mentorship, coaching

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000322

on traffic management,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000323

focusing on leadership,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000324

courtesy, discipline

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000325

with special attention

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000326

to anger and stress management.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000327

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000328

Thank you, Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000329

for that clarification.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000330

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000331

para i-recap ko lang po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000332

yung batay sa naintindihan ko

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000333

sa sinabi niyo, nananatili siya sa MMDA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000334

He is still with the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000335

task force for road clearing.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000336

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000337

Pero nagmamonitor siya ngayon

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000338

from the office, kumbaga.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000339

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000340

Not in the field.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000341

Not in the field anymore, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000342

And that he, as you mentioned,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000343

he has some pending cases.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000344

Ganun po ba?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000345

Administrative cases.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000346

Which will have a resolution

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000347

the MMDA promised within this year po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000348

And the cases are in relation to

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000349

ano po yung mga kaso?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000350

To that particular incident, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000351

To this particular incident.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000352

Okay. So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000353

ay, pakibalik lang po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000354

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000355

Ito nga po yung July 14

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000356

incident, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000357

At merong particular na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000358

quotes

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000359

from the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000360

transcript of that incident

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000361

where the teacher

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000362

specifically requests

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000363

Mr. Go,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000364

Sir, baka pwede wag nyo nang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000365

iano sa ano?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000366

Sa ano nyo?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000367

Nakakahiya, teacher ako.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000368

Sa context, maintindihan po natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000369

na wag nyo nang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000370

i-post

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000371

sa vlog nyo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000372

or sa account nyo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000373

No, yung ibig sabihin nung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000374

iano sa ano?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000375

Alam nyo naman ang Pilipino,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000376

ganyan ang language natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000377

Kung babasahin mo lang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000378

out of content, parang di maintindihan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000379

Pero in the context of that situation,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000380

maintindihan natin ang request niya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000381

At malinaw din yung intent, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000382

Dahil, nagre-request siya

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000383

dahil nakakahiya daw.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000384

Nakakahiya daw dahil

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000385

teacher siya. So, ayon yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000386

mahiya, pangalawa, konektado

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000387

sa pagiging teacher niya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000388

Hindi po issue dito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000389

At wala namang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000390

nagde-deny.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000391

Kaya may violation talaga yung teacher.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000392

Pero ang request niya is

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000393

okay, tanggap yung violation, pero

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000394

wag i-post.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000395

So, mas yun yung issue.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000396

Now, the reply of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000397

Mr. Goh was very telling.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000398

Naka-blurred ka naman eh.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000399

Naka-blurred ka naman eh.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000400

Huwag ka na lang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000401

magpapakilala ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000402

pangalan mo. Huwag ka na lang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000403

magpapakilala ng pangalan mo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000404

So, again, to understand the context,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000405

ang ibig niya sabihin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000406

ipopost kita, pero

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000407

ibablurr ko yung mukha mo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000408

Tapos,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000409

sinabihan niya, huwag ka na lang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000410

magpakilala.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000411

So, ibig sabihin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000412

para magamit pa rin niya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000413

yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000414

video ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000415

huwag na lang daw magpakilala.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000416

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000417

yung po yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000418

ibig sabihin dito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000419

aware si Mr. Goh,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000420

na may mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000421

issues of privacy dito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000422

Kaya sabi, huwag ka na lang magpakilala.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000423

O, parang gano'n.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000424

Mr.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000425

Yes, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000426

Kasama po sa investigation,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000427

yung possible,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000428

yung paglabag po sa aspeto

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000429

na yun na may nalabag siyang

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000430

aspect sa

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000431

data privacy law.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000432

Yung contentious,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000433

yung sagutan po na yun

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000434

ay kasama po sa investigation.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000435

Kung possible,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000436

na meron siyang nalabag

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000437

sa aspetong ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000438

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000439

And by the way, the issue here is

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000440

riding without a helmet.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000441

So, yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000442

usapin na yun ay wala namang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000443

nagko-contest

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000444

sa usapin na yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000445

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000446

Next.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000447

Next slide.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000448

Meron pa po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000449

Okay. Now,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000450

why are we raising this

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000451

issue? Hindi lang po dahil

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000452

teacher ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000453

subject ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000454

video in the incident

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000455

at

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000456

siya mismo nagsabi na feeling niya

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000457

nalabag ang kanyang right to privacy

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000458

at siya rin na nagsabi na kahit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000459

blurred yung video, lahat naman

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000460

ang buong school niya

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000461

at yung kanyang community, nakilala naman

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000462

kagad kung sino siya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000463

Kaya nga, sinabi rin ng National Privacy

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000464

Commission at saka ng Commission

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000465

on Human Rights, blurring

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000466

by itself is not

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000467

sufficient protection

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000468

of the right

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000469

to privacy kung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000470

makikilala ka pa rin naman.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000471

Diba? So, hindi po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000472

nakasasapat. Yun ang paalala

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000473

ng National Privacy Commission.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000474

Hindi nakasasapat pagka

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000475

blurred.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000476

Hindi ibig sabihin nun, nag-comply na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000477

sa protection of data

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000478

privacy. Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000479

However, ang issue rito is more

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000480

than just this incident, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000481

Yung viral, naging

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000482

viral yung insidente dahil

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000483

very contentious,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000484

no? At

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000485

pwede natin sabihin, divided

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000486

yung based on the reactions

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000487

on the video,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000488

very contentious.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000489

May mga iba nagsabi, eh nilabag naman

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000490

talaga niya eh. Ganon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000491

Iba, nagsabi, hindi naman yan ang issue.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000492

Ang issue dito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000493

ay maraming

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000494

naglabas ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000495

kanilang pagtingin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000496

Yung iba, sama ng loob na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000497

hindi lang naman ito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000498

isolated incident.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000499

Kung hindi, previously ay maraming mga insidente na involved si Mr. Go na ganyan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000500

Na may sisitahin for some violation or other, tapos gagawing content sa vlog,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000501

parang ginagawang sa ating salita, parang ordinaryong salita, sinasampulan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000502

Ganon, di ba? Ginagawang example para maging aral sa iba.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000503

At dahil doon, napapahiya. Di ba? Na hindi naman necessary.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000504

Ang sinasabi ng iba, may paglabag, sitahin mo, bigyan mo ng ticket, tapos na.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000505

Hindi yung sitahin mo, bigyan mo ng ticket, gagawing kang content,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000506

papapanood ka ng milyong-milyong tao habang pinapangaralan ka

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000507

at minsan, in a humiliating manner.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000508

So yun po yung issue.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000509

Therefore, ang issue po natin dito, yung social media policy ng MMDA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000510

At yun nga, kaya tayo nag-interpolate dahil confusing po yung public statements ng MMDA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000511

Parang contradictory.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000512

Contradictory.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000513

This is not...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000514

May gusto po kayong sabihin.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000515

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000516

institutional practice naman po ng MMDA, yung kailangan din sila mag-recording for,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000517

may record sila ng traffic law enforcement, traffic monitoring,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000518

ginagawa naman po nila rin for record purposes.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000519

However, minsan talaga nag-go-go over, beyond doon, dahil sinishare ng iba,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000520

in this case, si Clearing Ops, Gabriel Goh, maaaring na ilagay niya yun sa kanyang personal vlog.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000521

Dito ho, again, nandito ho siya iniimbestigahan ngayon, tinitingnan nga po kung maaaring lumabag ho siya doon sa data privacy law.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000522

Okay.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000523

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000524

Hindi po ba the previous year, nagkaroon na po ng insidente involving Goh?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000525

And a certain police officer.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000526

Tama po ba na merong ganong insidente?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000527

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000528

And after that, may pahayag po si Chairman Artes na nakikita ko dyan, sabi niya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000529

may policy na raw ang MMDA, bawal!

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000530

Ang personal, ang uploading of...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000531

Paano nga ba yun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000532

Good.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000533

Could we clarify from the MMDA, ano ba yung exactly yung in-issue nila na policy after that 2025 incident?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000534

Your Honor, institutional recording po sana yung ginawa, for recording purposes po ng MMDA.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000535

So, gaya po nang sinabi ko, kasalukuyan po siyang iniimbestigahan ngayon, kung posibleng nga meron siyang, he went overboard in that aspect po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000536

Opo.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000537

Kaya, kung meron man siyang violation sa data privacy, yun po yung, we are still awaiting that investigation as of now, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000538

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000539

In a press conference, ito po sinabi niya, quote, ipagbabawal natin yung mga personal posts about operations.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000540

Gagawin namin ay institutional.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000541

MMDA na lang magpopost ng clearing operations natin, whether pictures or video.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000542

Photos and videos of operations shall be posted by its public...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000543

Public Information Office via Facebook, X, Instagram, etc.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000544

Sabi niya, napirman ko na actually yung regulation regarding pagpopost ng actual na trabaho.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000545

Ano po yung regulation na binabanggit ni Chairman Artes?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000546

Madam Speaker, Your Honor, yun po.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000547

Kung, inaalam po ngayon kung kunyari may paglabas...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000548

Yes, ma'am. Tinatanong lang kung ano yung written regulation, official regulation on social media posting.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000549

Dapat institutional.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000550

Ang pinagbabawal na po ngayon yung pag-share po ng institutional na video.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000551

Okay.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000552

Sorry. Yun po pala yung pwede. Yung pag-share po ng institutional.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000553

Ang hindi po po pwede, yung sa personal po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000554

Anong gusto po natin malaman, kasi hindi po easily available or accessible,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000555

halimbawa sa MMDA website, yung exact memorandum or order containing this policy.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000556

Para malinaw po. Ano po yun?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000557

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, MMDA will furnish you today...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000558

Oh, yes, please.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000559

...with a complete and a complete copy po of that direct...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000560

Yes, please. We will expect it...

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000561

...for clarity.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000562

...within the day. Pwede po.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000563

And also the show-cause order po of...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000564

Okay. Thank you. We would appreciate that.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000565

...of that in that case.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000566

Ngayon, okay. So mukhang meron ng standing policy na ganon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000567

Yan ang nililinaw ng MMDA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000568

Pero, days after the incident, certain MMDA officials made seemingly contradictory statements.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000569

So, for example, July 20.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000570

MMDA General Manager, General Manager niyo po, Nicolás Torre III,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000571

mentioned a no-restriction policy to prevent personal blogging using MMDA footage.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000572

As long as there's no law being violated, wala kaming restriction na hard and fast rule

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000573

na ibigay sa mga tao namin na pigilan na huwag niyong i-post ang mga bagay na ginagawa niyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000574

especially sa mga senior officers.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000575

Hindi namin pwedeng gawin kasi part ng trabaho ng MMDA is to educate the people.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000576

Mas marami kaming maririch na ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000577

Mas marami kaming maririch na ito pala.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000578

Pag hindi ka nag-helmet, e, violation yan. Ticket mo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000579

So, batay sa statement ng General Manager sa publiko.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000580

General Manager.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000581

Nicolás Torre.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000582

Eh, sinasabi niya, walang restriction. Pwede namang i-post.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000583

Mas maraming maririch.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000584

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000585

So, yun po, kaya po medyo nalilito tayo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000586

Ano ba talaga?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000587

Miss Distinguished Colleague, we will be honest, MMDA will be honest,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000588

bago lang ho si General Manager Torre.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000589

So, hindi ho siya possibly aware.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000590

Doon sa rule po na yan ng MMDA.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000591

But we will remind him kapag, and all his employees, kapag kung bumalik man siya after his leave.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000592

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000593

However, aside from General Manager Torre, si Chairman Artes din po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000594

meron din mga statement to the effect na after the incident,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000595

hindi naman bawal kumuha ng footage in public.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000596

So, this was in defense or in reaction to the allegation na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000597

binayulate niyo yung data privacy right ng individual.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000598

So, could that be explained? Anong explanation po noon?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000599

Ang, your honor, ang sinabi po ni Chairman, hindi po bawal kumuha kung public place.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000600

Pero yung pagpo-post po is another matter entirely.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000601

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000602

Okay.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000603

Kaya po, nagkakonsult po sila sa Data Privacy Commission ngayon dahil sa mga ganyang mga insidente po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000604

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000605

Now, so, malinaw ang policy mula 2025 na hindi pwede yung personal vlogging of official MMDA operations, tama po?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000606

Yes, your honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000607

So, yung kalakaran ni Mr. Goh na nakikita natin na habang nagkakonsult,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000608

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000609

nag-operation siya, meron pang parang private individual yun na sumusunod sa kanya at nag-be-video.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000610

Sama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000611

That is not officially sanctioned? Hindi po official na pinahihintulutan?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000612

Your honor, again, institutional practice po yun.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000613

Yun po yung record purposes na pinapayaga naman po for law enforcement, traffic violation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000614

Okay.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000615

So, mayroon talaga ng contention doon sa kung pwede po i-post, saan po yung hanggang saan po yung pagpo-post sa personal vlog po?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000616

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000617

The chair of the, the vice chair, sorry, the chair pala, sorry, I see him here.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000618

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000619

The chair of the House Committee on Metro Manila Development, Committee on Metro Manila Development, the honorable Dean Asistio, wrote to me, and enclosing a copy of the MMDA's position paper on the MMDA's official response to a copy of the House Resolution.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000620

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000621

Of the House Resolution that we filed on this incident.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000622

House Resolution 1370.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000623

At the reply was in, was signed by, was prepared by and signed by Chairman Artes.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000624

Correct.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000625

At may mga, sagot po siya doon sa mga tanong, including some of those that you mentioned on the record in this interpolation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000626

Doon na lang po ako sa dulong bahagi.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000627

sabi natin, kasi sa resolution sabi natin, may paglabag po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000628

hindi lang si Gabriel Go as an individual, kung hindi,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000629

pati yung MMDA, nang pinost nila yung insidente at naging viral ito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000630

despite the statements of the teacher.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000631

And let me just go back.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000632

Para malagay ko rin on the record, yung sinabi nung teacher mismo na involved.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000633

The teacher wrote a letter to the MMDA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000634

So let me just quote,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000635

Despite my request, the encounter was later uploaded to social media

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000636

where it generated widespread public attention

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000637

and subjected me to embarrassment, ridicule, and public judgment.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000638

Unquote.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000639

So yun po yung sinabi niya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000640

He also requested the takedown.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000641

of the video of his apprehension,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000642

along with, quote,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000643

any other similar videos that unnecessarily demean individuals

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000644

or violate their rights to privacy, dignity, and respectful treatment.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000645

Unquote.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000646

So yun po yung nasa sulat ng teacher na subject nung video na ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000647

Ngayon, bilang sagot po sa issue na yun,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000648

sabi ng MMDA through Chairman Artes,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000649

wala pong paglabag.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000650

na ginawa ang MMDA as an institution sa data privacy rights ng sinuman.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000651

Ang sabi niya rito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000652

Ang sabi po rito, and this is where I want clarification,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000653

the MMDA categorically denies that it has consented to,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000654

or allowed Mr. Goh to videotape any valid MMDA clearing operation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000655

And let me quote further,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000656

the MMDA has not legitimized or planned to legitimize

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000657

any of the online MMDA-related content

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000658

published by the said

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000659

Dada Ku channel.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000661

Earlier, it was mentioned,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000662

in fact, the videos were uploaded onto the channel of a certain Dada Ku,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000663

D-A-D-A, and then K-O-O,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000664

a channel that is neither connected nor authorized by the MMDA

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000665

to upload such footage.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000666

So, parang ang sinasabi po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000667

na yung video na yun,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000668

kinuha at in-upload sa isang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000669

private channel called Dada

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000670

Ku. Yes.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000671

And therefore,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000672

walang sabit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000673

ang MMDA. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000674

Yes, the Honorable

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000675

Representative Tino, it is a

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000676

private channel,

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000677

it is a channel of a private

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000678

person, and thus

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000679

the MMDA will really have no control

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000680

over the said private channel.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000681

However,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000682

however,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000683

kung babalik natin yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000684

video kanina,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000685

yung video na nag-viral po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000686

a screenshot of which,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000687

yan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000688

yung video na yan, yan po nag-viral na yan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000689

it is on

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000690

the MMDA page,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000691

on the MMDA Facebook

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000692

page.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000693

Hanggang ngayon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000694

nandun pa rin po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000695

Kagabi lang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000696

chinek namin, and it is

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000697

on the July 14,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000698

post, one of the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000699

posts on July 14

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000700

of the MMDA page

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000701

itself. So, in other words,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000702

institutional posting

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000703

po ito. Hindi po ba?

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000704

Yes. The said post is indeed institutional because it is part of the reporting of the institution to the public about clearing operations.

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000705

But the video will not be found anywhere in that Facebook page of the institution.

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000706

That video, that very video, no, it's not a picture.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000707

It's not a picture. It's the post itself.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000708

No? Pakicheck nyo na lang po. Facebook account nyo yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000709

I'm sure one of your social media persons will be able to confirm this.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000710

Hinanap po namin sa MMDA Facebook page.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000711

At yung video mismo ng insidente na yun ay nananatili pa rin sa Facebook account.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000712

Video po yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000713

Yes.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000714

I-winshot lang namin yun. Ayaw na namin i-play dito yung video.

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000715

Yes, the Honorable Tino. So the chairman is now double-checking and making sure.

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000716

And if such is the case, of course, this will be brought down right away.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000717

Okay. Well, yun na nga po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000718

So, at least nalinaw na natin yung policy.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000719

So may malinaw na policy po talaga.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000720

Yung mga operatives ng MMDA may document, may use video to document.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000721

The incidents.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000722

Pero, no posting to personal logs or accounts.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000723

Pwede ang institutional posting.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000724

Okay, that's clear.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000725

And Mr. Goh is suspended from field operations.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000726

He is currently in the HQ, I suppose.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000727

And he is undergoing certain administrative...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000728

administrative...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000729

cases or facing certain administrative cases related to the social media issue.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000730

So, klaro na po yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000731

Now, ang isang issue ko na lang po ay sa kabila nung policy ng MMDA

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000732

at yung pagkilala nila na dapat i-respeto ang right to privacy ng mga individual.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000733

Kahit pa sabihin mong violator, yes, violator.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000734

Pero may right to privacy.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000735

Pa rin ang mga ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000736

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000737

So, unfortunately, ang nakita po natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000738

that very same video still remains on the website.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000739

And, as has been pointed out by several institutions,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000740

notably the National Privacy Commission and the Commission on Human Rights,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000741

kahit po nakablur yung mukha niya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000742

eh yung kanyang komunidad, madali siyang makikilala.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000743

Therefore, may paglabag sa rights, sa privacy rights ng individual.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000744

Dahil, hindi naman kailangang mapahiya ka sa madla

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000745

para lang masita ka at managot sa iyong paglabag na nagmotor ka ng walang helmet.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000746

Natutuon namang paglabag.

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000747

Yes.

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000748

Yes, the Honorable Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000749

Yes, the Honorable Tino.

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000750

And for this, the institution apologizes deeply

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

asr-000751

and ensures that all measures will be taken

Source

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo

modernization, kaya

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000992

authorized entry and exit points

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000993

Meron pa ba tayo hindi kasama

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001029

court orders and other

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001030

legally authorized alerts

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001031

reflected at immigration

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001032

counters?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001033

Real time ba tayo kapag nag

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001034

may mga alert tayong ginagawa?

Source

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

asr-001035

Madam Speaker, this issue

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

asr-001036

once na maipadala po

Source

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

asr-001037

yung order, encoded na po

Source

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

asr-001038

agad yun ng Bureau of Immigration.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001039

Real time?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001040

Once na mapasok agad sa mga

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001041

immigration counter?

Source

asr-001042

Once ma-receive po ng BI.

Source

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

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

asr-001045

and of course, distinguished

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001049

sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001050

How does the Bureau distinguish an alert

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001051

requiring monitoring from an

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001052

order legally restricting

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001053

departure?

Source

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

asr-001054

May I request again?

Source

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

asr-001055

What's the question?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001056

How does the Bureau

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001057

distinguish an alert requiring

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001058

monitoring from an order

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001059

legally restricting departure?

Source

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

asr-001060

Madam Speaker, this issue ulit ang

Source

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

asr-001061

pagkakaiba po ng

Source

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

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

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

asr-001064

restricting departure.

Source

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

asr-001065

Yung alert order po usually

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

asr-001066

nagnagaling po sa mga warrant of arrest

Source

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

asr-001067

and request by different agencies

Source

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

asr-001068

to implement that

Source

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

asr-001069

alert order.

Source

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

asr-001070

Yung legally restricting

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

asr-001072

different factors.

Source

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

asr-001073

Yung alert

Source

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

asr-001074

order po is kapag lalo na po

Source

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

asr-001075

kapag may ongoing

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001091

namimiss nila yung flight nila.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001092

Do you have any mechanism

asr-001093

or

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001109

ng ating Bureau of Immigration,

Source

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

asr-001110

yung immigration officer naman po

Source

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

asr-001111

will determine or assess

Source

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

asr-001112

kung siya ba talaga

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

hindi pa rin po ma-determine ng immigration

Source

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

nagre-require yung ating Bureau of Immigration

distinguished colleague. Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001127

distinguished sponsor,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001128

is there any instances

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001129

na nahold natin

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001130

although it was a mistaken identity?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001131

So I'm not blaming

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001132

the Bureau of Immigration kasi

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001133

baka nangyayari ito

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001134

na nami-miss nila yung kanilang

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001135

flight. Is there any instance

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001136

nangyari yan?

Source

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

asr-001137

That's possible po because

Source

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

asr-001138

may mga data nga daw pong kulang-kulang

Source

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

asr-001139

yung

Source

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

asr-001140

pag-assess po ng ating mga

Source

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

asr-001141

immigration officer hindi po kompleto.

Source

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

asr-001142

So may mga data nangyayari yan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001143

Is it in your

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001144

database kung sakali

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001145

ang pangalan Juan de la Cruz

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001146

may picture naman siya

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001147

and then the person with the same name

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001148

but carrying

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001149

identification with different

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001150

face naman, would you allow

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001151

that or you still have to wait

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001152

para magkaroon pa rin ng

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001153

clearance coming from your

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001154

superior or the head?

Source

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

asr-001155

That's possible po

Source

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

asr-001156

distinguished colleague to help

Source

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

asr-001157

them assess, lalo na po yung ating mga

Source

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

asr-001158

immigration officers para

Source

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

asr-001159

ma-determine po nila yung pagkakakilanlan

Source

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

asr-001160

doon sa taong ngayon

Source

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

asr-001161

and yung

Source

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

asr-001162

Bureau of Immigration naman po ay

Source

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

asr-001163

can also issue

Source

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

asr-001164

a clearance

Source

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

asr-001165

for that person.

Source

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

asr-001166

So

Source

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

asr-001167

dahil po sa mga ganyang instances

Source

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

asr-001168

ang hiling po talaga ng

Source

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

asr-001169

Bureau of Immigration is ma-modernize

Source

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

asr-001170

po yung mga sistema nila para po mas

Source

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

asr-001171

madali po yung counter checking ng ating

Source

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

asr-001172

immigration officers or

Source

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

asr-001173

meron na po talagang sistema

Source

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

asr-001174

na sila na po mismo ang magka-counter check

Source

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

asr-001175

yung ating mga immigration officer

Source

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

asr-001176

magiging pang-verify na

Source

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

asr-001177

lang po kapag hindi po ma-assess ng ating

Source

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

asr-001178

mga sistema.

Source

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

asr-001179

Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001180

Thank you Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

So ako I'm with you

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001187

for the modernization kasi

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001188

I think tayo lang, I'm not saying na

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001189

tayo pinakahuli siguro pero

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001190

to the developed country talaga

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001191

nauna sila. They have

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001192

their database

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001193

na sama-sama na different

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001194

agencies na tutulong dyan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001195

actually it would depend on the

acknowledged that they are at delays but they are

Source

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

asr-001322

taking the right steps to

Source

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

asr-001323

na maihabol po yung

Source

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

asr-001324

implementation na to na

Source

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

asr-001325

mapaganda po yung mga facilities.

Source

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

asr-001326

Siyempre may sinusundan rin po tayong mga

Source

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

asr-001327

international standards lalo na po yung

Source

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

asr-001328

karapatat na po ng ating pong mga PDL.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001329

Thank you for that answer

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001330

Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001331

Distinguished Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001332

even though they are PDLs,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001333

we still recognizing their

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001334

rights.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001335

Thank you for that.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001336

Yung iwahig, you mentioned iwahig, is that in Palawan ba yan?

Source

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

asr-001337

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001338

How many hectares ang iwahig natin?

Source

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

asr-001339

32,000 hectares po, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001340

32,000 hectares, napakalaki pala.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001341

Is that considered, please educate me, enlighten me,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001342

ito ba considered na maximum friction ba ito?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001343

Wala kasi akong idea, so gusto ko lang malaman.

Source

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

asr-001344

Halo-halo na po, Madam Speaker, they're a maximum facility, minimum and medium.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001345

Yeah, kasi lagi lang natin narinig yung national belief natin.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001346

I-kumpara mo, siguro malayo ang difference nun, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001347

Can we consider the iwahig na ponduan tas mas marami natin ilagay na tao?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001348

Anyway, it's 30,000 hectares pala, napakalaki pala yan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001349

So, karamihan dun, ano ba yung mga convicted natin, mga PDLs, halo-halo rin ba?

Source

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

asr-001350

Halo-halo.

Source

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

asr-001351

Halo na rin po, Madam Speaker.

Source

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

asr-001352

Ang karamihan po dun ay yung mga minimum po na marapit na pong lumabas, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001353

So, we cannot build more buildings pala dun, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001354

Kasi karamihan dun, mga minimum lang pala ang ano dun, palabas na.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001355

Kasi within NBP, masyado nang, I think, congested tayo dyan eh.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001356

So, that's the reason why my next question,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001357

na I think it's related, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001358

When it comes to health facilities natin, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001359

Kamusta naman yung mga ating mga PDL dun?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001360

Maano ba naman sila?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001361

There being, ano, yung sakit.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001362

Kasi once na nagkasakit, may duma, may bumisita, baka kako mahawa,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001363

na lumabas naman.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001364

Maayos ba ang kanilang pasilidad dun?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001365

When it comes, especially itong mga diseases na pumapasaan.

Source

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

asr-001366

Well, the Bureau.

Source

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

asr-001367

The Bureau of Corrections are trying their best.

Source

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

asr-001368

But since the allowance for PDL is only at 30 pesos,

Source

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

asr-001369

they're barely managing, so that's why nagre-request pa rin po

Source

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

asr-001370

yung ating Bureau of Corrections na medyo mapataas

Source

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

asr-001371

para at least man lang po makalidad yung care na maibigay po sa ating mga PDLs

Source

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

asr-001372

na may binadaing pong mga sakit sa loob po ng ating mga Bureau of Corrections facilities.

Source

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

asr-001373

Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001374

Madam Speaker, you heard it, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001375

30 pesos per PDL?

Source

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

asr-001376

Yes po, per day.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001377

A day, per day.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001378

Isipin nyo po, 30 pesos.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001379

Halos wala ng value ngayon yan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001380

So ako, Madam Speaker, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001381

The beautiful speaker natin, Madam Speaker, kailangan tugunan natin ito na dagdagan ang pondo.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001382

Nakakawa ang DOJ.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001383

Sila ang laging tinatamaan pag nagkakasakit, napapabayaan daw.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001384

Pero,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001385

with the 30 pesos, talagang masyadong mababa yan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001386

Again,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001387

my next question,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001388

our personal, what?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001389

Personnel.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001390

Our personnel, water, sanitation, health facilities, security equipment, and operating expenses

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001391

funded together with the buildings.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001392

Naka-embedded ba yun?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001393

Pag nagpagawa ng buildings, sama-sama na sila ron?

Source

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

asr-001394

Kasama na po, Madam Speaker,

Source

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

asr-001395

at Singi School.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001396

Thank you, Madam Speaker, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001397

So before I move on to another topic, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001398

Again, I would like to reiterate with the, as far as the Bureau of Correction, na dapat talaga

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001399

dagdagan natin ang pondo.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001400

Kasi, although they are PDLs, may human rights pa rin tayo dapat sundin sa kailan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001401

Para naman, as you said, na kailangan standard, di ba?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001402

Yes.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001403

Sa international standard na dapat natin sinusunod.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001404

Again, my next topic will be online, sexual.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001405

Sexual abuse or exploitation of children.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001406

The Department's Special Protection of Children Activities recorded a disbursement rate of approximately 6.9% in 2025.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001407

Cases involving online sexual abuse or exploitation of children require specialized investigators.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001408

I mean, talking about specialized investigators.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001409

Rapid preservation of...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001410

electronic evidence,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001411

international cooperation,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001412

and continuing assistance for victims.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001413

I think napaka-importante na ito.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001414

Question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001415

What explains the low utilization of funds for the special protection of children activities?

Source

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

asr-001431

So yung low utilization po, there are different factors.

Source

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

asr-001432

Mainly, for 2025 po ba ito?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001433

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001434

And maybe, because 2026 is where there's one more quarter.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001435

So, 2025. So, we can base our...

Source

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

asr-001436

So, for the year 2025, yung underutilization po, yung justification niya for underspending it,

Source

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

asr-001437

may delays po in the submission of comments from CSP.

Source

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

asr-001438

We see member agencies, and may mga partnership po kasi with UNICEF na mga workshops na

Source

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

asr-001439

ang nag-shoulder po nung gastos ay yung UNICEF po.

Source

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

asr-001440

Madam Speaker, bisigis ko ulit.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001441

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I didn't even know na UNICEF pala involved dito.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001442

DOJ, talagang maayos talaga ang inyong pagpapatakbo.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001443

for

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001445

in 2027 for cases involving online sexual abuse or exploitation of children?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001446

So, this coming 2027 budget natin, what kind of resources is specifically provided para sa mga cases?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001447

Ano yung mga pwede niyo pang isama para naman lalo natin mapaganda at mapalakas ang ating laban

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001448

kontra sa mga ganitong sexual abuse and exploitation of children?

Source

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

asr-001449

May I clarify, Madam Speaker, yung sources po?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001450

Yes, sources. Funding natin.

Source

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

asr-001451

Ah, sources of funding po.

Source

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

asr-001452

Actually, that's why the interagency against trafficking and yung ating special protection for children

Source

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

asr-001453

ay nanghihingi po ng dagdag budget. At least, maipantay po natin doon sa 2026 levels.

Source

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

asr-001454

Kasi medyo komplikado na po yung ating pong yung mga kaso ngayon ng OSA-XSAM, trafficking,

Source

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

asr-001455

medyo complicated na po, cross-borders na po yan. May mga international syndicates na pong involved.

Source

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

asr-001456

So, ang request po talaga ng ating pong Office of the Secretary para po sa mga programang ito,

Source

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

asr-001457

ma-increase po to...

Source

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

asr-001458

So, appropriately authorize support for time-sensitive and investigative operational and intelligence victim protection activities, Madam Speaker, and...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001459

Thank you, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001460

I have more questions about that online child exploitation, but I have only, what, four minutes, so I have to move forward, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001461

Bilisan ko na. Siguro, I have only two to three questions left.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001462

But after this, I'll give you my questionnaire, so at least, mapag-aralan niyo po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001463

At least, that will help, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001464

But again, I only support DOJ when it comes to your budget.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001465

Trafficking and scam operations following the offshore gaming ban.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001466

The closure of licensed Philippine offshore gaming operations, or POGO, has not eliminated the risk that criminal groups will continue online fraud, trafficking, illegal gambling through smaller and more dispersed establishments.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001467

Meanwhile, the 2025 disbursement rate...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001468

For DOJ, anti-trafficking activities was approximately 46.9%.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001469

Medyo mababa ata tayo, not even the threshold of 50%.

Source

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

asr-001470

For the 2025?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001471

Yes.

Source

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

asr-001472

For the low utilization of the IACAT, the low utilization of the 2025 budget,

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

asr-001473

nagkaroon po ng konting mga problema or delay, lalo na po dun sa mga consultancy services, may delay in the approval of the Terms of Reference,

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

Source

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

asr-001475

ng mga ICT equipment po, hindi po na-procure, pero ongoing procurement naman po sila.

Source

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

asr-001476

Office equipment, payment was made early, 2026, for the procured scanner.

Source

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

asr-001477

Tapos may mga representation expenses, hindi po natuloy due to frequent mga natural calamities and frequent disasters.

Source

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

asr-001478

So,

Source

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

asr-001479

may mga trainings rin po, na hindi po natuloy, dahil po hindi po napayakan yung budget na nakalaan po dun sa training na yun.

Madam Speaker,

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001481

asr-001482

Because I'm running out of time.

DOJ responds to the Zamboanga school shooting.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001484

On August 18, 2026, a grade 9 student opened fire at the high school campus.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001485

Of Ateneo de Zamboanga University, killing another student and injuring others before taking his own life.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001486

The incident was live streamed online.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001487

And the firearms used were reportedly linked to the assailant's father, a Bureau of Customs official.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001488

The president directed authorities to conduct a full investigation.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001489

It was the second fatal school shooting reported.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001490

In the country, within approximately two months.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001491

Question, which law enforcement agency is presently leading the investigation?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001492

And what stage will the DOJ National Prosecution Service or National Bureau of Investigation become involved?

Source

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

asr-001493

Actually, ano po, buong DOJ po, yung mga nag-investiga, NBI, meron na pong cases filed

Source

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

asr-001494

against the father of the student.

Source

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

asr-001495

Father of the shooter and the school security guard po.

Source

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

asr-001496

So, they're already filing information before the courts.

Source

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

asr-001497

So, tuloy-tuloy na po yung pag-prosecute po ng ating po nga DOJ dito sa mga kasong ito.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001498

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001499

Again, Madam Speaker, that will end my interpellation, again, on behalf of my party-list.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001500

I fully support the budget of DOJ, especially pagdating po sa ating law enforcement agency, yung pong online natin.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001501

That's why during our plenary debate here, the DICT talaga naman, we condemn yung ating mga online, mga platforms natin.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001502

So, I hope the DOJ family will look into it, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001503

Para naman maproteksyon na natin.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001504

Ang mga kabataan, grade 9 student, napakabata, mag-open fire, and then naka-livestream pa online.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-001505

I think something to do na pagdating ito sa mga social platforms natin.

Last week po sinabi ng DOJ na they are currently reviewing the documents relative to the extradition of Apollo Quibuloy.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

having a massive inmate population,

jail congestion,

ito pa rin remains critical.

may sapat po bang medical facilities

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

asr-001784

As of now, they are trying to get an executive order to finalize the medical parole.

Source

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

asr-001785

Pero during that time na hinihintay po nila kasi may mga natatagalan pa pong mga pumirma doon sa ating poong EO,

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

asr-001786

nag-establish po sila nung kanlungan ni Lolo na facility doon sa Bucor,

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

asr-001787

kung saan doon po nilalagay po ng lahat ng may sakit para po mas mabantayan po nila.

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

As of now, ang ginagawa na lang po nila to treat their PDLs, kung ano po yung within the resources po ng Bucor.

Kailan po ba nagsimula yung development process itong EO na ito? Nasaan punto na tayo?

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Sino pa ang hindi pumipirma? Ano pa ang kailangan?

As of now, as reported by our Bureau of Correction,

Director, isa na lang po yung hinihintay na firma for the EO to take effect dito po yung sa Department of Health

Source

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

asr-001797

kasi kailangan po masertify nila na totoong may sakit yung isang individual, lalo na po yung ating PDL

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

para po makapasok doon sa Executive Climacy na inaayos po ng ating Bureau of Correction.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001803

Pero just for the record, ganoon na po tayo katagal naghihintay sa firma ng Department of Health on this EO?

Source

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

asr-001804

Last year pa po, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001805

Nakalulungkot, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, na last year pa pala dapat meron na tayong EO

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001806

para matulungan ang mga kababayan natin ng mga PDL sa nangangailangan.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001807

Nang window of service na ito, ng clemency, ng parol para sa kanilang health reasons

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001808

or sa pagiging matanda na masyado.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

ang walang ginagawa, ang dinededma ito.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

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

Madam Speaker, we are not privy doon sa kung bakit po natatagalan on the part of the DOH.

Source

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

asr-001814

Ang nagagawa na lang po ng ating Bureau of Corrections is mag-follow up po ng mag-follow up.

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Distinguished Sponsor, Madam Speaker, thank you very much for the very candid response of the agency on the matter.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Pero hindi.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001818

Hindi po kasi tama na pinaghihintayin natin ng hindi lamang buwan kundi taon na yung ganitong napakahalagang polisiya.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001819

Still on this matter, paano po natin tinitiyak na ang ating mga mahihirap at indigent PDLs ay nabibigyan din ng pantay at mabilis na access sa ganitong medical interventions?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001820

Sigurado po ba tayo na hindi lang ito para sa mga may kakayahang kumuha ng private doctors?

Source

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

asr-001824

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

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

asr-001825

ang ginagawa po ng ating Bureau of Corrections,

Source

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

asr-001826

they are coordinating with hospitals that are willing to take in

Source

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

asr-001827

yung ating mga PDL na nangangailangan.

Source

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

asr-001828

For example, meron po silang coordination with East Avenue Medical Center.

Source

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

asr-001829

Doon po nila dinadala, lalaan po sila ng pondo

Source

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

asr-001830

para po madala po yung ating mga PDL na nangangailangan ng medical care

Source

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

asr-001831

sa mga hospital katulad po ng East Avenue Medical Center.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Maliban po sa East Avenue Medical Center, saan pa po yung iba pang mga facilities?

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001833

Madam Speaker.

Source

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

asr-001834

Lahat po ng facilities naman daw po ay dinadalahan po nila.

Source

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

asr-001835

May mga LGU hospitals naman po silang kamowa,

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

asr-001836

saan rin po nila dinadala.

Source

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

asr-001837

May mga times lang po siguro na dahil puno rin po siguro yung ating hospital,

Source

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

asr-001838

hindi po ma-accommodate, pero we know work out po ng ating Bureau of Corrections

Source

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

asr-001839

na madala po yung ating mga PDL sa tamang pangangalaga rin po

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

asr-001840

ng ating mga medical professionals.

asr-001843

nakatutok ngayon ng publiko sa usapin ng medical releases

asr-001844

dahil ginagamit ito ng ilang

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001849

high-profile officials na may kasong plunder,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001850

paano po tindiyak ng DOJ na hindi maaabuso ang prosesong ito?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001851

Ano po ang mga safeguards o stringent monitoring mechanisms

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001852

na pwede ipatupad ng DOJ at Bucor tungkol dito?

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001853

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

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

asr-001854

So, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

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

asr-001855

as of now, yung mga kilalang individual po kasi na tangkot or accused,

Source

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

asr-001856

ay nasa pangangalaga po ng BJMP.

Source

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

asr-001857

Pero ang proseso daw po, as per sa ating DOJ,

Source

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

asr-001858

meron pong sariling medical examiner na nagkakondak para po sa BJMP

Source

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

asr-001859

para po masigurado or macertify na ito po yung estado or health status

asr-001860

ng ating pong accused na sangkot sa ating pong investigation.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001866

na usapin ang medical recognizance ay hindi dapat nakabatay sa pangalan,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001867

posisyon o impluensya ng isang PDL.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001868

Ang pamantayan ay dapat iisa lang para sa lahat.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001869

Una, ang aktual na medical condition,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001870

pangalaba, ang umiiral na batas.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001871

Pangatlo, ang pangangailangang pangalagaan ang karapatang pantao at due process.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Kaya hinihiling po natin, Madam Speaker,

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001896

I have a very few questions.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001897

But this is all about the Bureau of Immigration.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001898

And gusto ko lang po itanong yung tungkol dito sa biometric gates natin.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001899

May data po ako dito na for the last 4 years,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001900

kulang-kulang 4 billion na po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001901

Yung nagagagastos ng pamahalaan para sa purchase ng mga e-gates natin,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001902

including the cameras.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001903

And the Bureau of Immigration, confirm?

Source

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

asr-001904

So, for the e-gates project po, yung total na kalaan pong pondo,

Source

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

asr-001905

for Phase 1, 1.5 billion.

Source

asr-001909

asr-001947

this English colleague.

Source

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

asr-001948

Medyo nagbago daw po kasi yung mga presyo.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001949

Pero nag-bid na po ito?

Source

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

asr-001950

Hindi pa po.

Source

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

asr-001951

They are...

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

asr-001952

Undergoing procurement process pa lang po.

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

asr-001956

So, hindi pa natin alam kung ilang units?

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

asr-001957

Hindi pa daw po kompleto yung technical specification.

Source

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

asr-001958

Bali, ang nandito pa lang po ay mga tentative dates

Source

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

asr-001959

wherein kung kailan nila i-undertake yung

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

asr-001960

advertisement, bid conference,

Source

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

asr-001961

and yung mga bid submitting.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001962

And these particular units,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001963

they are for what airports?

Source

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

asr-001964

Cebu and Tawi-Tawi po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001965

And the Phase 3?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001966

How about the Phase 3 po?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001967

How much is the Phase 3?

Source

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

asr-001968

Phase 3 po ay 536,072,000.

Source

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

asr-001969

And undergoing technical specifications pa rin po yung atin pong...

Source

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

asr-001970

Phase 3.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001971

And this is for what airports?

Source

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

asr-001972

As of now po, wala pa po.

Source

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

asr-001973

To be determined pa po after yung ating pong Phase 2.

Source

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

asr-001974

Depende po sa assessment po ng ating Bureau of Immigration

Source

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

asr-001975

kung saan pa po kailangan yung E-Gates project po.

Source

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

asr-001976

At kung saan pa po kailangan yung E-Gates project po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001977

Why do you procure E-Gates kung wala pang definite mga pupuntahan nito?

Source

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

asr-001978

Well, yung Phase 1 po okay naman po.

Source

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

asr-001979

Okay na.

Source

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

asr-001980

Yung details lang po ng Phase 2 kung saan po ilalagay.

Source

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

asr-001981

Kinukuha lang po namin kung yung number

asr-001982

and kung saan po yung breakdown po nung ating E-Gates.

Source

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

asr-001983

Yung Phase 3 po, totally wala pa po kasi undergoing technical specifications.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001984

I'm sure there are requests for installations or airports.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001985

Before you...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001986

Di ba po sa budget process magpo-propose ang department

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001987

ng gastusin for particular budgetary expense?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001988

Bakit nauuna yung pondo kaysa dun sa requirements?

Source

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

asr-001989

So, may mga instances po na kailangan po ng ating Bureau of Immigration

Source

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

asr-001990

na i-reconfigure yung technical specifications

Source

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

asr-001991

kasi tumataas po yung presyo po ng ating mga equipment.

Source

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

asr-001992

So, medyo natatagalan po talaga.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001993

Can you just submit the details of these procurements?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001994

Yes, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001995

Kasi hindi po ako makapaniwala.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001996

Kasi po bago talaga magpapabida.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001997

Dapat alam mo na kung saan pupunta yung ano eh.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001998

Bago kong magpapondo, dapat alam mo na kung saan pupunta yung pera.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001999

Thank you, Madam Speaker, and good afternoon to the distinguished sponsor and the Department of Justice.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002214

Will the gentleman yield to a couple of questions in relation to the budget and the policies by which the budget will be anchored on of the Department of Justice?

Source

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

asr-002215

Yes, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002216

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002217

Madam Speaker, tungkol po ito sa ang unang line of questioning natin, yung nasimula na natin noong budget briefing,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002218

yung tungkol po sa pag-transfer ng mga persons deprived of liberty ng

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002219

New Bilibid Prison.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002220

Pwede po bang matanong na ilan ang current number of PDLs sa buong Pilipinas ang nasa Bucor?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002221

Ilan ang nababawas at nadaragdag ng mga PDLs annually?

Source

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

asr-002222

As of July 31, 2026, the PDL population is at 52,356.

Source

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

asr-002223

Ang narirelease po kada taon ay it varies.

Source

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

asr-002224

So as for 2025 po, ang naririlis po ay...

Source

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

asr-002226

10,529. For the first half nitong taong ito, 4,979 po ang na-release. Ang na-admit po for 2025, 9,948. Ang na-admit rin po for 2026, this first half ng taon, ay 4,549.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002227

So tama po ba? Parang halos equal or magkapantay yung pagdagdag at pagbawas ng mga PDLs sa New Bilibid Prison?

Source

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

asr-002228

Halos magkapantay po. Looking at from 2022 to 2026, halos parehas.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002229

Kung bang makahingi, Madam Speaker, good sponsor ng datos na ito, kung maari ay mag-span po siya ng pano,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002230

paano, ilan ang nababawas sa dagdagdag sa New Bilibid Prison in the past five years?

Source

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

asr-002231

Okay. Yes, Madam Speaker. We will provide the data.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002232

Maraming salamat po. Yung unang mga tanong po natin kasi sa budget briefing ay,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002233

yun nga po, paano yung pinaplano na pagkaroon ng pag-transfer ng mga PDLs given na may mga ibang planong gustong gawin?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002234

Dito sa New Bilibid Prison.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002235

But following up on my line of inquiry during the committee-level deliberations,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002236

pwede po bang matanong if the BUCOR has a decongestion strategy or a master plan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002237

given yung mass transfer of PDLs from the New Bilibid Prison to the penal colonies?

Source

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

asr-002238

There is a master plan up to 2028.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002239

So inaasahan po natin some 53.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002240

6,000 ay more or less makakompleto na yung pag-transfer by two years from now?

Source

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

asr-002241

Yes, because...

Source

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

asr-002242

Yes, because magkaklose na nga po yung New Bilibid Prison, Madam Speaker, this is surely...

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002243

Maaaring rin po bang ma-furnish ang representation na ito ng master plan?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002244

Sa pinagbabatayan, timeline, at kung ano man, para po maisagawa yung mass transfer na ito?

Source

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

asr-002245

Yes, Madam Speaker, we will comply po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002246

May I ask kung gaano po kadalas na si-check ng Department of Justice or yung BUCOR,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002247

yung pagsunod doon sa master plan na nakalaan para po sa mass transfer?

Source

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

asr-002248

So, they're guided by the master plan.

Source

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

asr-002249

Yun po po yung goal po nila from 30,000 sa NBP, nabababa po nila ng 20,000.

Source

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

asr-002250

They are looking at...

Source

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

asr-002251

Maaaring...

Source

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

asr-002252

Yung momentum po for...

Source

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

asr-002253

And pursuing the decongestion rate na ideal ay patuloy na hindi implementan naman po ng ating Bureau of Corrections.

Source

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

asr-002254

Yung master plan po yung naging guide nila sa pag-transfer,

Source

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

asr-002255

kung saan po dadalhin yung ating PDL at yung decongestion rate po ay doon rin po naka-alitsunod.

Source

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

asr-002256

Madam Speaker, this is Gish Coli.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002257

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002258

good sponsor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002259

Napansin natin na sa budget ng Department of Justice,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002260

meron pong nakalaan na 519 million na capital outlay for BUCOR.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002261

Magkano po dito ay para sa construction or rehabilitation of penal colonies and correctional facilities outside of NCR?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002262

Meron po ba?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002263

Or nakatayo na po ba ito?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002264

So,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002265

so,

Source

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

asr-002266

,

Source

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

asr-002267

roughly about 474 million po yung nakalaan para sa pagpapagawa po ng ating Bureau of Correction Facility.

Source

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

asr-002268

Nakalaan po ito sa Nueva Ecija po.

Source

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

asr-002269

Kasi doon po plano, ilagay po yung ating bagong Bureau of Correction Facility.

Source

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

asr-002270

Madam Speaker, this is Gish Coli.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002271

At tama po na itatayo pa lang ito kung magtuloy-tuloy yung pag-uusap natin.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002272

At maigrat po ito sa Department of Justice.

Source

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

asr-002273

Itatayo pa lang po ito, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002274

Kailan po yung target completion date nitong new penal colony sa Nueva Ecija?

Source

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

asr-002275

Hopefully po next year, may tayo na po itong facility na ito, Madam Speaker, at this is Gish Coli.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002276

Inaasahan din po natin, gaya po ng sinabi sa committee, na maging up to standards ang lahat ng mga facilities at services.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002277

na itatayo dito sa bagong penal colony sa Nueva Ecija.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002278

Pero kailangan lang po natin i-check dahil po kung ang target completion, at sana hindi madelay, ay next year.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002279

Pero may target na matapos yung pag-mass transfer by 2028,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002280

hindi po sana either maantala o magkaroon ng iba't ibang arrangements.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002281

Kung saan, habang tinatayo,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002282

pa yung Nueva Ecija penal colony ay baka ma-transfer sa ibang mga detention facilities ang mga dapat i-a-assign doon sa Nueva Ecija.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002283

Maybe can I get a guarantee from the Bureau of Corrections na kung ano man po yung pupuntahang mga destinasyon ng mga PDLs,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002284

gaya po ng sinabi sa committee level meeting, malapit sa pamilya.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002285

Hindi matatransfer ka sa kung saang penal colony nang walang paalam sa kanilang mga pamilya ng mga lawyers at lahat ng mga tumutulong sa mga kaso nila.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002286

Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

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

asr-002287

Yes, Madam Speaker, the Bureau of Corrections guarantee na as much as possible kung saan po malapit yung pamilya ng PDL, doon po siya maidadala.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002288

At sana po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002289

Ang pagbabago or update tungkol sa kung saan siya, ang isang PDL mapunta, ay ito po ay mapapaalam sa ating pamilya, sa kanilang mga lawyers at hindi mabibigla.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002290

na nawala na lang po sila doon sa penal colony.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002291

I assume, and I assume the B Corp is aware of this,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002292

sensitibo din po yung hinahawak nilang matter.

Source

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

asr-002293

Yes, we, the Bureau of Corrections guarantee po na ipapaalam rin po ito

Source

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

asr-002294

kung sakaling dumating po sa ganong punto.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002295

Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002296

mangingina lang po ang representasyon na ito

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002297

ng listahan ng balak ng B Corp

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002298

na magtayo or magpaayos ng penal colonies and correctional facilities

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002299

na pupuntahan ng iba't-ibang mga PDLs.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002300

Can that be accomplished by next week, Madam Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

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

asr-002301

Yes, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002302

Okay, maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002303

Pupunta na ba po ako sa susunod na mga katanungan?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002304

Ito rin po ay follow-up doon sa tanong natin sa committee-level briefings

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002305

kung saan we confirmed the existence

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002306

of Task Force on Anti-Terrorism na bahagi

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002307

o pinamumunuan ng Department of Justice.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002308

Can I confirm this?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002309

Once again, on the floor, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

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

asr-002313

There is no special task force under the DOJ po

Source

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

asr-002314

na regarding sa anti-terrorism.

Source

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

asr-002315

It falls under kung ano po yung General Commission of Crimes

Source

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

asr-002316

yung pag-investigate po dito.

Source

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

asr-002317

Pero sila po ay miyembro ng

Source

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

asr-002318

regular member lang po sila ng Anti-Terrorism Council,

Source

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

asr-002319

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002320

Yung nabanggit po natin na anecdote

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002321

kung saan gusto natin manghingi ng explanation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002322

sa Department of Justice

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002323

ay meron pong mga agents

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002324

of Bureau of Immigration

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002325

na may suot po na vest

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002326

na ang label na nakalagay po dito

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002327

ay Anti-Terror Task Force.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002328

Ano po bang explanation dito?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002329

And narinig po natin on the floor, on the committee

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002330

na meron pong task force

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002331

on anti-terrorism na bahagi ang DOJ.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002332

So kinaklarify po natin yung nature nito.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002333

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002364

we'd like to ask an explanation.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002365

What is the DOJ Task Force on Anti-Terrorism?

Source

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

asr-002366

It's a regular task force po ng team of prosecutors

Source

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

asr-002367

na yun lang po yung kanilang inuimbestigan

Source

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

asr-002368

at pinaprosecute ng mga kaso

Source

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

asr-002369

relating to anti-terrorism laws po.

Source

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

asr-002370

Madam Speaker, this is English colleague.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002371

So, meron pong DOJ Task Force on Anti-Terrorism.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002372

Hindi po tama yung kanina na wala.

Source

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

asr-002373

Wala pong special task force.

Source

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

asr-002374

Regular task force lang po siya to investigate

Source

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

asr-002375

anti-terrorism cases.

Source

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

asr-002376

Madam Speaker, this is English colleague.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002377

Ano po bang difference ng regular and special task force,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002378

Madam Speaker, good sponsor?

Source

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

asr-002379

Well, yung regular task force po,

Source

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

asr-002380

parang grouping lang po within the DOJ ng mga fiskal.

Source

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

asr-002381

Saan, focus lang po sila dun sa ganoong kaso.

Source

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

asr-002382

So, yung special task force po,

Source

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

asr-002383

more on created rin by,

Source

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

asr-002384

law,

Source

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

asr-002385

yung lalo na po yung sa

Source

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

asr-002386

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

sa cybercrime,

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

asr-002390

yun po yung mga special task force.

Source

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

asr-002391

Ito po, yung sa anti-terrorism laws na cases,

Source

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

asr-002392

group of prosecutors lang po,

Source

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

asr-002393

yun lang po yung handle nila.

Source

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

asr-002394

Hindi siya, parang regular task force lang po sila,

Source

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

asr-002395

regular prosecutors,

Source

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

yung anti-terrorism cases.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002398

Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

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

asr-002406

there is a department order within the DOJ regarding that task force.

Source

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

ng mandato,

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

ng task force na ito.

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002416

Dahil, so to clarify,

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002417

you mentioned that it is made up of prosecutors,

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002419

good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002420

pero may involvement po ba ang Bureau of Immigration na ito?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002421

Also, to make the question more general,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002422

interagency po ba ang task force na ito?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002423

Pwede po bang magbigay ng,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002424

ang DOJ ng mga ibang-ibang ahensya

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002425

na involved sa operations ng task force na ito?

Source

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

asr-002442

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague,

Source

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

asr-002443

Yung coordination lang po

Source

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

asr-002446

with the other agencies

Source

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

asr-002447

is through the ATC,

Source

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

asr-002448

the Anti-Terrorism Council.

Source

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

asr-002449

Pero yung

Source

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

asr-002450

So, ang involvement po ng

Source

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

asr-002451

DOJ

Source

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

asr-002452

is kapag nag-create po ng mga TWG

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

asr-002455

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

asr-002456

usually doon po in-involve yung DOJ.

Source

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

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

asr-002460

agencies

Source

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

asr-002461

through the ATC po daw

Source

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

asr-002462

ang coordination po nila,

Source

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

asr-002463

the Anti-Terrorism Council.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002464

Ang binabahagi po ay explanation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002465

kung bakit may involvement

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002466

ang Bureau of Immigration. May technical work,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002467

may technical working group that the DOJ is also part of

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002468

that's separate

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002469

from the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002470

task force.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002471

Ano po yung nature ng technical working group na ito?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002472

At ang scope of

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002473

duties and responsibilities ng DOJ?

Source

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

asr-002475

It depends on the nature ng TWG na kine-create po

Source

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

asr-002476

ng ating pong Anti-Terrorism

Source

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

Council. But,

Source

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

asr-002478

in cases na may

Source

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

asr-002479

legal aspect po yung ating pong

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

asr-002480

TWG, lagi pong involved yung

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

ating pong DOJ

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

asr-002482

dito sa TWG na ito.

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002483

Thank you, Madam

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002484

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002485

po that the Secretary of Justice

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002486

and therefore the Department is a member of

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002487

the Anti-Terrorism Council, maari po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002488

bang maka-furnish ng copy

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002489

ang representasyon na ito

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

sa mga technical working groups na bahagi

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002491

yung DOJ in relation po sa

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002492

coordination with the Anti-Terrorism Council.

Source

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

asr-002493

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

asr-002494

we will comply po.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002495

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002496

So, ang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002497

to go back doon sa question na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002498

tinanong natin,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002499

inter-agency po ba ang task force?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002500

May binigay pong explanation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002501

for possibly yung sa Bureau of Immigration,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002502

pero we'd like a categorical answer,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002503

Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

Source

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

asr-002510

Madam Speaker,

Source

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

asr-002511

disengish ko ulit ito.

Source

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

asr-002512

Depende po siya sa

Source

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

asr-002513

matter at hand sa

Source

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

asr-002514

Anti-Terrorism Council.

Source

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

asr-002515

Kapag may

Source

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

asr-002516

mga cases where foreigners are

Source

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

asr-002517

involved, tsaka alam po nila

Source

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

asr-002518

ginagawa yung task force including

Source

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

asr-002519

the Bureau of Immigration

Source

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

asr-002520

and yung

Source

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

asr-002521

iba po nating

Source

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

asr-002522

law enforcement agency. So, depende po

Source

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

asr-002523

talaga kung ano po yung nature ng task force

Source

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

asr-002524

na gawin po ng ating pong

Source

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

asr-002525

Anti-Terrorism Council.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002526

So, to my understanding, Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002527

you're talking about now a separate task

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002528

force or is this still the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002529

task force

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002530

on

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002531

anti-terrorism na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002532

ngayon hindi na lang siya

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002533

prosecutors pero it depends?

Source

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

asr-002534

Meron po talaga silang task force for

Source

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

asr-002535

anti-terrorism cases.

Source

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

asr-002536

Pero kung kinakailangan

Source

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

asr-002537

po ng inter-agency task force for

Source

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

asr-002538

anti-terrorism

Source

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

asr-002539

cases, it flows

Source

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

asr-002540

through the Anti-Terrorism

Source

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

asr-002541

Council po, not necessarily within

Source

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

asr-002542

the DOJ.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002543

Sige po, Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002544

tinintay na lang po natin yung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002545

report kung saan dinidetali

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002546

ito at ano po yung scope of

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002547

responsibilities and duties ng DOJ

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002548

at ang kanyang mga attached agencies.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002549

Tinatanong po natin yung mga tanong

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002550

na to, Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002551

because it seems

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002552

to me na baka may overlap.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002553

Between this DOJ task force on

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002554

anti-terrorism and the already established

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002555

Anti-Terrorism Council.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002556

At mula anong napasa ang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002557

Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002558

na nag-establish ng Anti-Terrorism Council,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002559

kinaharap na ng mga ibang-ibang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002560

civil society organizations

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002561

and non-government organizations

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002562

ang harassment cases laban sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002563

kanila. This is because of the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002564

task force filing cases

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002565

na sa dulo po nito may nakikita

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002566

tayong mga

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002567

nadidismissed, kalakhan,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002568

sa kanila. The ATC

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002569

itself is already problematic

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002570

bilang judge, jury, executioner.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002571

And so nakaka-alarm akong may mas

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002572

maluwag at mas malabo pang task force

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002573

on anti-terrorism na hindi

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002574

malinaw para sa mamamayang Pilipino

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002575

kung sino-sino ang mananagot

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002576

at paano pananagutin

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002577

kung may mga harassment cases nga pong

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002578

hinarap at kung ito po ay

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002579

madidismissed, paano na po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002580

yung mga nawala nilang buhay, nawala nilang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002581

assets, nawala nilang reputasyon

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002582

dahil po sa ginawang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002583

ganitong red tagging or even terror tagging.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002584

Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002585

I'd like to make

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002586

my next line

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002587

of questioning. Ito ay

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002588

binukas din natin during the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002589

committee level deliberations

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002590

kung saan may nakita nga tayong mga

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002591

pattern of dismissals under

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002592

cases filed ng

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002593

mahalaga na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002676

dinidetali ito

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002677

at inaalam kung paano

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002678

nangyayari yung spending, yung budget

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002679

ng naaayon doon sa mga

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002680

programang mga

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002681

dinetali. Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002682

we ask these questions because

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002683

we have a standing critique

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002684

on the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002685

anti-terrorism related

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002686

legislation which has

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002687

been used as instruments

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002688

for human rights

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002689

violations and we have noticed

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002690

the pattern of these

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002691

legislations that

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002692

have been instruments

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002693

para magkaroon ng mga trump up charges

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002694

against individuals and organizations

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002695

that have ended in

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002696

dismissals in court.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002697

So Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002698

we'd like to continue to check

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002699

kung paano po ito na i-exercise

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002700

ng implementing agency ng Department

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-002701

of Justice. That's all Madam

upon checking, makita nyo rin po yung

Rep. Roberto Nazal

Good afternoon, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002720

good afternoon, distinguished colleagues, and good afternoon

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002721

to the DOJ family.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002722

I'd like to start with the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002723

Public Attorney's Office.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002724

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002725

I want to put

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002726

PAO first because so many Filipinos

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002727

who cannot afford private counsel

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002728

depend on its services.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002729

In 2025,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002730

PAO had a

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002731

100% obligation rate

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002732

and a 100% disbursement rate.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002733

In other words,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002734

ginagamit po talaga nila

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002735

ang pondong binigay sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002736

And yet, the public attorney to court

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002737

ratio remains at 1 is to 2

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002738

instead of a 1 is to 1 target.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002739

So Madam

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002740

Speaker, distinguished

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002741

colleague, shouldn't we be giving

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002742

additional funding to agencies

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002743

like PAO

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002744

that have demonstrated that they can

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002745

fully utilize and disburse their budget

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002746

especially when there is

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002747

clearly still an unmet need

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002748

for their services.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002749

Now my question is, how many

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002750

additional PAO lawyers do you need

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002751

to move toward a

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002752

1 is to 1 ratio, public

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002753

attorney to court ratio?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002754

Where are they most

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002755

urgently needed?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002756

And how much additional funding

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002757

would be required?

Source

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

asr-002758

Madam Speaker,

asr-002792

mga PAO,

Source

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

it would depend kung saan po sila

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

asr-002794

kailangan talaga, lalo na po dun sa mga

amounting to

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

then 400 support staff po

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002818

saan kaya pwedeng kunin ng

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002819

DOJ yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002820

additional funds para mabigyan po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002821

natin ang PAO, kasi meron din naman po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002822

ang DOJ

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002823

na earmarked revenues

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002824

meron po tayong

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002825

non-tax revenues

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002826

ang understanding ko is

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002827

based on the BESF report

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002828

7.3.81 billion in non-tax revenues

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002829

in 2025 ang nakuleta ng DOJ

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002830

hindi po ba pwedeng kunin doon yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002831

additional na

Source

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

asr-002836

hindi po ba pwedeng gamitin yung winning fee?

Source

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

asr-002838

as for that amount

Source

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

asr-002839

it amounts to 700

Source

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

asr-002840

million daw po

Source

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

asr-002841

but it is already remitted to the

Source

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

asr-002842

treasury

Source

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

asr-002843

hindi na po nila magagamit itong

Source

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

asr-002844

mga amount na ito

Source

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

asr-002846

yan po yung winning fee sa

Source

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

asr-002847

civil cases and labor cases

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002849

Sino po ang nakakolekta nun, Distinguished Colleague?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002850

And why was that? Kung meron pa po tayong kulang in terms of yung lawyer to court ratio, bakit di po natin ginamit?

Source

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

asr-002851

So, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, yung winning fee po na nakukuha po nila sa civil cases and labor cases, through court order, diretsyo na po yun ng Treasury.

Source

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

asr-002853

Ang nangyayari na lang po, inihintay po nila na mag-create po ng PAO positions ang DBM bago po magamit yung ama.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002854

So, it has to go through the DBM.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002855

Para magamit niyo po yung pera.

Source

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

asr-002856

Yes, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002857

So, what is the process?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002858

Ano hong nag-request ba tayo sa DBM?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002859

And when was the request acted upon?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002860

Or how long does it take for the request to be acted upon?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002861

And ito pong mga pondo na ito, saan po ba siya nag-request?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002862

Ano ang nakadeposit?

Source

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

asr-002863

Yung winning fee po sa Bureau of Treasury daw po nakadeposit. Diretsyo daw po siya doon.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002864

So, ito yung earmark?

Source

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

asr-002865

Yes, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002866

So, ito yung winning fee, yan po yung...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002867

Can you explain saan po nanggagaling yung winning fee?

Source

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

asr-002868

Kapag favorable judgment po in civil cases and labor cases.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002869

And this goes to the PAO?

Source

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

asr-002870

No.

Source

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

asr-002875

It goes to the Treasury po, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

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

asr-002876

As for the positions po, nakapag-request na po sila ng additional PAO lawyers.

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

asr-002877

Ang napaproobahan pa lang po ata for 2027 is 87 positions.

Source

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

asr-002878

So 2024 budget, 87, additional 87 pa lang po.

Source

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

asr-002879

Ngayon pa lang po mapupunduhan.

Source

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

asr-002880

So meron pong gap between the creating and also yung pagpundo po doon sa positions.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002881

So meron naman pong funding na pumapasok.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002882

And do we have a target po kung kailan natin ma-achieve yung 1 is to 1 ratio?

Source

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

asr-002883

As of now, there's no target.

Source

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

asr-002884

That's why they're making a wish list na sana po mabigay yung through Congress yung 500 plus na PAO positions.

Source

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

asr-002885

And 400 plus na support staff para po ma-achieve yung 1 is to 1 ratio.

Source

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

asr-002886

And also, kapag meron po kasing bagong korte, lagi pong nangangailangan ng dagdag.

Source

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

asr-002887

So hindi po po makita kung ano yung final target date kung kailan ma-achieve yung 1 is to 1 ratio hanggat meron pong new trial courts na na-approve or na-create.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002888

So, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002889

Madam Speaker, I think agencies that demonstrate good absorptive capacity like the PAO should be supported with additional funding when there is a demonstrated public need.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002890

E kitang-kita naman po natin yung pangangailangan.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002891

Every time nagdadagdag nga tayo ng korte, kailangan pa magdagdag ng PAO.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002892

So what additional amount can PAO realistically absorb and utilize in 2027?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002893

Yung binanggit niyo po bang amount, ay kaya niyong i-disperse?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002895

Yung additional?

Source

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

asr-002896

Yung set.

Source

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

asr-002897

700 plus billion po, kaya po.

Source

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

asr-002898

Kasi purely mga personal services naman po ito.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002899

So kung tutusin, yung winning fee, pwede niyo pong gamitin sana?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002901

For additional hirings?

Source

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

asr-002902

Pwede pong gamitin siya for additional allowances.

Source

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

asr-002903

Pero still, the process is, kailangan pong mag-request ng creation ng...

Source

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

asr-002904

PAO positions sa DBM.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002905

So I urge Congress, our colleagues in Congress,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002906

tsaka yung ating APRO Chair,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002907

na sana po, dagdagan po ang pondo ng PAO para magawa po nila yung 1 is to 1 ratio.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002908

May I go to my next question, Madam Speaker?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002909

One of the biggest concerns of ordinary Filipinos is how long it takes for cases to be resolved.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002910

So from the DOJ's end,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002911

what are the biggest bottlenecks today?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002912

Lack of prosecutors, support staff, case management systems, witnesses, or coordination with the courts?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002913

More importantly, what additional budget, personnel, or authority does DOJ need from Congress to help speed up the disposition of cases?

Source

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

asr-002914

So there is a need to increase the prosecutorial arm po ng ating DOJ.

Source

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

asr-002915

They have already...

Source

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

asr-002916

requested sa DBM ng mga additional prosecutorial positions

Source

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

asr-002917

para po mapabilis yung ating pong pag-resolve po ng mga kaso.

Source

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

asr-002918

As of now, staggered po ang commitment ng ating pong DBM

Source

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

asr-002919

na ibigay po yung mga prosecutorial positions.

Source

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

asr-002920

And meron rin pong delay sa pag-fill up ng positions na yun

Source

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

asr-002921

dahil po dun sa...

Source

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

asr-002922

iba pong appointment ay kailangan ng presidential appointment.

Source

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

asr-002923

Usually po, umabot ng isang taon.

Source

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

asr-002924

Pero alam ko, from the DOJ themselves,

Source

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

asr-002925

medyo napapababa na po ng 4 to 5 months, 4 to 6 months,

Source

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

asr-002926

yung pag-appoint po ng prosecutors.

Source

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

asr-002927

Yung iba naman po, lalo na po yung mga support staff,

Source

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

asr-002928

usually sa Secretary of Justice naman na po,

Source

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

asr-002929

dumadaan yung pag-appoint.

Source

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

asr-002930

Pero malaki po yung pangailangan po para po sa ating...

Source

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

asr-002931

ating pong mga dagdag na prosecutors.

Source

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

asr-002932

Kasi may ideal number po ang DOJ na at least sana po mapunan

Source

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

asr-002933

para po mas mabilis po yung pag-dispense ng ating pong mga kaso.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002934

Based on the CPBRD report, Distinguished Colleague, DOJ is projected to have 7,140 unfilled positions in 2027, including 1,740 in OSEC. Ano po ba ang target natin ngayon para ma-fill yung gap?

Source

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

asr-002935

Actually, yun po yung kulang na ngayon.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002936

Kasi this is substantial po eh. And this will definitely affect yung disposition of cases.

Source

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

asr-002937

Yun po yung hinihintay po yung karamihan po is pending presidential appointment.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002938

Ilan po ba ang pending due to the presidential appointment? Ilan ang pending dahil sa budgetary concerns?

Source

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

asr-002939

As of now po yung hinihintay po na appointment is 203 po na prosecutorial positions.

Source

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

asr-002940

As for...

Source

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

asr-002941

As for kung ano po yung ine-expect nila na additional positions po para...

Source

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

asr-002942

Dumabi po yung ating mga prosecutors, as for 2026, 237 po. Hopefully yung madagdagan.

Source

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

asr-002943

2027, 227 and 2028, 237 prosecutorial positions.

Source

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

asr-002944

Yung iba pong delay sa pag-fill po ng ating mga positions, yung iba po ay dahil po sa approval naman po ng Civil Service Commission.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002945

Of the 7,000...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002946

Of the 7,140 unfilled positions, ilan po ba dun ang prosecutorial?

Source

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

asr-002947

866 po yung unfilled prosecutors.

Source

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

asr-002948

866 po yung unfilled prosecutors dun sa 7,140 na unfilled.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002949

And we are expecting 237 will be filled by 2027.

Source

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

asr-002950

Additional 227 only.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002951

So that still leaves us with a substantial amount of around 600 plus.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002952

And ang problema po dun is mostly budgetary?

Source

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

asr-002953

Yes, Madam Speaker.

Source

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

asr-002954

Adding to the...

Source

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

asr-002956

Yung budgetary constraints po rin po yung main problem po ng ating DOJ.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002957

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002958

The DOJ has approximately...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002959

P15.3 billion in accumulated earmarked revenues, revenue balances, as of December 31, 2025.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002960

Pero hindi po ba pwedeng gamitin yung earmarked revenue?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002961

Para dun sa mga kakulangan natin sa funding?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002962

Or are these mostly...

Source

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

asr-002963

Is this earmarked revenue including attached agencies po ba?

Source

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

asr-002967

The DOJ cannot use that.

Source

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

asr-002968

There are specific limitations per attached agency as to the allowed spending of that revenue po.

Source

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

asr-002969

Lalo na po yung sa LRA, OSG, and...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-002970

How about yung non-tax revenues?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003007

Meron tayong P17.381 billion in non-tax collection.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003008

Can't we use that?

Source

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

asr-003009

Meron na pong limitasyon yung sa paggamit yung non-tax revenues po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003010

Ano yung... saan po natin siya...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003011

What is its intended use?

Source

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

asr-003015

Sa Victim's Compensation Program po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003016

Ah, so only for the Victim's Compensation?

Source

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

asr-003017

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003018

So, yan yung off-budget?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003020

Na sinasabi?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003021

Yung off-budget?

Source

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

asr-003023

Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003024

So, off-budget specifically for awards to victims of unjust imprisonment or detention?

Source

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

asr-003025

Yes, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003026

In 2025 po, you had... ganung kalaki yung nakulekta natin?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003027

17 billion ba?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003028

Yeah.

Source

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

asr-003029

Including attached agencies po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003030

No, no.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003031

How much is the total amount para dun sa... na nakulekta?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003032

As of now?

Source

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

asr-003033

Yung off-budget account lang.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003034

Yung off-budget account lang.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003035

Yung for awards to victims of unjust imprisonment and detention.

Source

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

asr-003036

As for... may I clarify if it's including all the attached agencies under the DOJ?

Source

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

asr-003037

Because...

Source

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

asr-003038

Yes.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003039

Yes.

Source

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

asr-003049

Yes.

Source

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

asr-003052

Ito ba yung 187?

Source

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

asr-003053

Kasi ang income po ay totaling... 2025 income po ay 17 million.

Source

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

asr-003054

As per records po ng ating po department of DOJ, ng Department of Justice, 17,810,728 po yung actual income ng buong DOJ including the attached agencies.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003055

The BSF table in draft reports, ang nakalagay po doon in receipts and ang resibo na natanggap is 187.937 million.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003056

Is that correct?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003057

As of 2025?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003058

Pero yung reported expenditure was only 19.3.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003081

May I ask why the utilization is so low?

Source

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

asr-003082

May we clarify, ano po yung 187?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003083

Ito yung off-budget account for awards to victims of unjust imprisonment.

Source

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

asr-003086

As per records po ng DOJ, ang non-tax revenue lang po talaga ay...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003087

Hindi, meron kayong off-budget account based on the BSF for awards to victims of unjust imprisonment.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003088

Based on yung 2025 data po, 187 million in receipts. Tapos 19.3 ang nagastos.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003089

So my question is, why is the utilization so low? Is the problem lack of awareness, restrictive requirements, processing delays, or simply a low number of qualified claims?

Source

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

asr-003090

It depends on kung mag-claim po yung aplikante. And as you know, yung batas po natin regarding victims' compensation,

Source

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

asr-003091

yung amount po dun is limited pa rin po to 1,000 per...

Source

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

asr-003092

month? 10,000?

Source

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

asr-003093

So basically...

Source

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

asr-003094

Medyo maliit pa po. There is a need to update the Victims' Compensation Program.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003095

When was this last updated, Distinguished Sponsor?

Source

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

asr-003097

Last, ito pong batas na kung saan pinagbabasahan po natin itong Victims' Compensation Program ay 1992 pa po.

Source

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

asr-003098

34 years na po ang nakalipas. Kaya yung amounts...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003099

So ang binibigay pagka ikaw ay unjustly nakulong...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003100

Ganon pa rin po yung amount na...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003101

1,000 a month.

Source

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

asr-003102

10,000 a month.

Source

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

asr-003103

1,000?

Source

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

asr-003105

One time 10,000 po.

Source

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

asr-003106

One time na 10,000?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003107

Tawawa naman po ba lang?

Source

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

asr-003108

That's why there is a need to update, dalo po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003109

So...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003110

So this is...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003111

This should be updated by Congress or...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003113

Can't it be initially po adjusted through a department order or an executive order?

Source

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

asr-003114

By law po, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

Source

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

asr-003115

So hopefully po, ma-adjust na po itong amount na ito.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003116

So Distinguished Sponsor, dapat po ayusin na natin ito.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003117

Kaya tawawa naman yung mga biktima.

Source

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

asr-003118

We're willing to work with your office po, Distinguished Colleague, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003119

Sige po. So this is one thing that we should take note of, we should adjust.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003120

Yes.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003121

I-update na po natin yung batas.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003122

How about data po on overstaying prisoners?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003123

Meron po ba tayong data on that?

Source

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

asr-003124

No data and no overstaying data on...

Source

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

asr-003125

Sa pagkakasabi po na atin pong Bureau of Corrections...

Source

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

asr-003126

There's no data because wala na rin pong overstaying.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003127

So lahat po ng supposed na overstaying ay napakawala na?

Source

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

asr-003128

Everyone due to be released has been released naman daw po as per our DOJ and our Bureau of Corrections.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003129

Do we have that data? Can you share that with the...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003130

At least the reports on sino po yung mga overstaying, gano'ng katagal.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003131

Na silang overstaying and then when were they released?

Source

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

asr-003132

Yes. Madam Speaker, we will submit the data.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003133

On the Bucor, balik po tayo sa Bucor, Distinguished Sponsor, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003134

Bucor's authorized uniform positions increased from 9,133 in 2025 to 11,133 in 2027.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003135

But the staffing summaries...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003136

It still shows only 8,464 field positions.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003137

May I ask, Distinguished Sponsor, what is preventing Bucor from filling these positions?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003138

Is it recruitment, training capacity, funding, or administrative processing?

Source

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

asr-003139

Madam Speaker, for the reasons kung bakit hindi pa field itong mga posisyon nito,

Source

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

asr-003140

it is primarily attributable to the additional...

Source

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

asr-003141

Positions created pursuant to DBM-approved restructuring of the Bureau,

Source

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

asr-003142

including 1,000 new positions for correction officers.

Source

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

asr-003143

To facilitate the filling of these positions,

Source

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

asr-003144

the Bureau has requested the approval of a 3-year CSE-approved qualification standards for correction officers.

Source

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

asr-003145

So ito pong qualification standards ay under review pa po ng ating pong CSE office.

Source

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

asr-003146

In the meantime po, yung other vacancies naman,

Source

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

asr-003147

po ay na-address through recruitment and appointment ng processes.

Source

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

asr-003148

Medyo lumaki lang po dahil po dito sa 1,000 new positions na na-restructure po na ating pong DBM.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003149

Thank you for that, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003150

Let me go to my next question.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003151

In 2025, 33.9% of the 404,124 cases, decided cases, were dismissed by the trial.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003152

This is a substantial number.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003153

What are the major causes of these dismissals?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003154

Insufficient evidence, witness problems, weaknesses in investigation, procedural issues, or something else?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003155

What additional resources or reforms does the National Prosecution Service need to reduce avoidable dismissals

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003156

and strengthen the cases brought before the courts?

Source

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

asr-003157

So, there are a number of reasons kung bakit po nadidismiss ng RTC.

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

asr-003158

Ang commitment po ng DOJ is that yung standard po na-impose po sa kanila,

Source

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

asr-003159

yung reasonable certainty of conviction na standard,

Source

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

asr-003160

yun po na-impose po sa kanila.

Source

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

asr-003162

At yung reasonable certainty po yung susundan nila para po maiwasan yung pag-dismiss po ng ating mga kaso sa Regional Trial Court.

Source

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

asr-003163

So, it means working closely with the law enforcement agencies na yung available ng evidence,

Source

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

asr-003164

nakahanda na po agad para kung sakali, sa tingin po ng ating prosecutor, medyo solid na po.

Source

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

asr-003165

yung foundation for filing a case

Source

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

asr-003166

and pursuing a case

Source

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

asr-003167

na i-file po nila yung necessary

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003168

information. So, in the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003169

past po, based talaga

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003170

on the data,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003171

parang karamihan was

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003172

kulang po sa ebidensya

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003173

or mahina yung kasong na prepare natin.

Source

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

asr-003174

Well, there are a number of reasons po

Source

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

asr-003175

kung bakit po dinidismiss po ng

Source

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

asr-003176

court.

Source

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

asr-003177

Pero majority naman po,

Source

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

asr-003178

medyo mataas naman po yung ating

Source

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

asr-003179

conviction rate pagdating po sa

Source

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

asr-003180

prosecuting cases.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003181

Meron bang international standard

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003182

yan?

Source

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

asr-003183

There is no international

Source

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

asr-003184

standard for conviction po.

Source

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

asr-003185

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Court.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003186

Thank you for that,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003187

Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003188

May I go now to the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003189

Bureau of Immigration.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003190

So, may we ask the DOJ

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003191

and the BI to clarify and

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003192

standardize the rules on departure requirements

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003193

because

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003194

there seems to be a confusion on the ground.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003195

For Barangay

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003196

Kagawads, meron pong

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003197

mga report na

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003198

that the BI requires

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003199

a DILG travel authority

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003200

before departure.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003201

While others traveling

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003202

under apparently similar circumstances

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003203

are not asked for one.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003204

If a Barangay Kagawad

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003205

is traveling abroad

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003206

purely for personal

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003207

reasons at his or

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003208

her own expense

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003209

and the Punong Barangay has already approved

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003210

the leave or the travel

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003211

authority, is a separate

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003212

DILG foreign travel authority

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003213

still legally required?

Source

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

asr-003215

Kailangan pa rin daw po, ah, as per the Bureau of Immigration

Source

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

asr-003216

kasi DILG issuance daw po

Source

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

asr-003217

yung requirement na ito.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003218

So, hindi talaga

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003219

sapat na mag-issue

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003220

lang ng travel authority ang kapitan.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003221

Kailangan po nang magpaalam

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003222

sa DILG. Ano po yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003223

legal basis nun? And under

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003224

exactly what circumstances

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003225

should the BI require it?

Source

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

asr-003226

Madam Speaker, there is a DILG

Source

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

asr-003227

memorandum circular regarding this matter

Source

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

asr-003228

daw po. Ang

Source

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

asr-003229

nire-request po ng ating DILG

Source

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

asr-003230

is ang Bureau of Immigration

Source

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

asr-003231

lang po ang mag-implement. So,

Source

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

asr-003232

there is, the basis is with the

Source

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

asr-003233

DILG po,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003234

Madam Speaker. So, siguro dapat po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003235

alam lang ng

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003236

alam lang talaga lahat ng

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003237

procedure kasi parang ang dami po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003238

nangyayari. May mga tumatawag

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003239

sa amin eh. Kaya ayoko naman na tumatawag

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003240

pa ako kay Commissioner para lang

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003241

para lang sa mga ganyang problema.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003242

Dapat lang po siguro maklear

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003243

natin kasi ang daming

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003244

tumatawag, ang daming nakikiusap

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003245

na nagkakaroon sila ng

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003246

experience na pagdating dun

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003247

sa ano, hindi po nila alam

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003248

kung ano yung kailangan nila eh.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003249

Minsan kasi pinapayagan sila na may TA

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003250

galing sa kapitan, okay na. And then

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003251

yung iba naman,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003252

I actually experienced the same kind of

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003253

inconsistency. I was

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003254

once traveling abroad with my 12-year-old

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003255

son. Normally, I do not need

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003256

a DSWD travel clearance

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003257

because a legitimate minor

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003258

traveling with either biological parents

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003259

is exempt, di ba? So, pwedeng isa na.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003260

Isa lang. But on one

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003261

occasion, tinanong po ako

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003262

ng isang immigration officer

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003263

ng DSWD

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003264

authorization. In fact,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003265

I had to call

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003266

someone from the BI so that the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003267

proper rule could be explained to the immigration

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003268

officer. Kasi parang nga nangyayari.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003269

Hindi po alam. Iba-iba

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003270

yung alam nung bawat immigration officer.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003271

So, gusto ko lang po malaman bakit

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003272

po nangyayari ito. Why

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003273

do different immigration officers appear

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003274

to have different interpretations of the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003275

same requirements?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003276

And can DOJ

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003277

and BI establish and strictly

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003278

implement one uniform set of departure

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003279

requirements? Properly

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003280

brief all immigration officers and clearly

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003281

publish these requirements so

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003282

passengers and barangay officials

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003283

know before going

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003284

to the airport exactly what documents

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003285

are required. Hindi dapat depende

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003286

sa immigration officer

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003287

na natapat sa iyo kung ano ang

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003288

requirement.

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003288-split-2

The chair would

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003289

like to inform Representative

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003290

Nazal that his time has expired.

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003291

Please kindly wrap up

asr-003294

kawatni ng gobyerno kung ano po yung

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

asr-003301

requirements na dapat dala po nila

Source

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

asr-003302

pag dadaan po ng

Source

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

asr-003303

immigration. As for the

Source

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

asr-003304

yung mga incidents

Source

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

asr-003305

na ganyan kung saan

Source

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

asr-003306

kailangan pa po ng mas malinaw

Source

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

asr-003307

na pagpapaliwanag ng batas para po

Source

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

asr-003308

sa ating immigration officer.

Source

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

asr-003309

That's why

Source

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

asr-003310

yung ating Bureau of Immigration

Source

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

asr-003311

gusto po medyo yung ating

Source

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

asr-003312

training for the immigration officers

Source

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

asr-003313

at gusto rin po nilang

Source

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

asr-003314

ma-modernize na rin po yung ating batas

Source

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

asr-003315

para po yung standards po

Source

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

asr-003316

ng ating mga immigration officers

Source

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

asr-003317

tumaas na rin po kasi matagal

Source

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

asr-003318

na po yung batas. 1940s pa po yung

Source

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

asr-003319

ating batas ng immigration. And hindi pa

Source

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

asr-003320

na-update? Hindi pa rin po na-update.

Source

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

asr-003321

So kung kaya po

Source

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

asr-003322

Source

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

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003325

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003326

So Madam

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003327

Speaker,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003328

siguro hihingi na lang po ako ng

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003329

sa DOJ

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003330

and its attached

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003331

agencies ng isang

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003332

GAD utilization

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003333

and GAD utilization

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003334

report. Tsaka saan po nila ginagamit?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003335

Paano nila ginagamit?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003336

Ano na lang, hihingi na lang po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003337

Source

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

asr-003338

comply po Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003339

So in closing Madam

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003340

Speaker, our questions are really

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003341

intended to identify where Congress

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003342

can help.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003343

Justice delayed affects both

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003344

the complainant and

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003345

the accused. If DOJ

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003346

needs additional prosecutors, personnel,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003347

technology, regional

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003348

funding, or greater access to its

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003349

legally earmarked revenues to make the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003350

system move faster, we would like

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003351

those requirements clearly placed on

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003352

record so Congress can

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-003353

consider supporting them. Thank you very much

meron na rin ba silang

asr-003562

6,230,390

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

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

asr-003564

44 centavos po

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

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

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

asr-003574

po yung

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

Madam Speaker

Source

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

asr-003583

and distinguished colleague.

Source

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

asr-003584

distinguished colleague.

Source

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

asr-003585

So may breakdown na po. If our distinguished colleague would like a copy of the breakdown, we would like to give it to our distinguished colleague, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003586

Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker. And may we also know what are the internal audit service unit findings on the causes of discrepancy?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003587

Is this accounting error, negligence, unauthorized withdrawals, misuse theft, or other factors?

Source

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

asr-003588

Madam Speaker, halo-halo na po yung factors kung bakit po nangyari po ito.

Source

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

asr-003589

Yung recording po, yung handling po ng ating mga trust fund officers, lalo na.

Source

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

asr-003590

That's why, because of this incident, may mga pinursu po na cases against those individuals involved in the mismanagement of the said amount.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003591

Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003592

Madam Speaker, pwede rin bang maibigay ng ating distinguished sponsor kung magkano na ngayon yung total unaccounted money?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003593

Kasi po nagbago po yung sinabi ninyong nawawala, missing. So magbabago rin po yung kung magkano na yung total unaccounted money?

Source

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

asr-003594

So 6,230,390 pesos and 44 cents po yung exact amount na nawawala.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003595

Opo. Ilan po dyan yung unaccounted? Kasi po sa inyong report, merong missing pero nagastos na sa iba't ibang kadahilanan at meron din pong unaccounted.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003596

Ibig sabihin, hindi po talaga alam kung saan ginasto, saan napunta.

Source

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

asr-003597

So ito na po yung total, Madam Speaker, yung 6.2. Lahat na po ito.

Source

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

asr-003598

Yes.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003599

Yan din po yung sinabi natin.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003600

Yan kanina na figure nasa 6.4 pero na-correct na po tayo nasa 6.2 yung missing.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003601

Pero ang tinatanong ko po yung hindi ma-account na pera.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003602

So ma-minus po natin yung mga nakita niyong pinagkagastusan at makukuha po natin yung unaccounted money.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003603

Nakupunin na lang po natin yung exact figure from our distinguished sponsor and Bucor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003604

Pero ang nais po sana nating malaman,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003605

habang tuloy-tuloy po yung investigation na ginagawa natin,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003606

kailan po ba maibabalik sa normal yung sistema ng withdrawal sa loob ng CIW?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003607

Habang ginagawa niyo ngayon yung mga pag-i-investiga sa mga dapat managot.

Source

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

asr-003608

So Madam Speaker, tuloy-tuloy pa rin naman po yung sistema ng withdrawal.

Source

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

asr-003609

The CIW.

Source

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

asr-003610

Subject to the timing lang po nung withdrawal, Madam Speaker, which is once a week or twice a week.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003611

Madam Speaker, this representation has likewise received reports

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003612

that after the disclosure of the millions of pesos of missing funds for the PDL Trust Fund,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003613

the PDLs have been having a hard time withdrawing or accessing the money.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003614

In their accounts, before, like what the distinguished sponsor said,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003615

the PDLs were allowed to withdraw three times a week

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003616

with a maximum of 1,000 pesos per withdrawal

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003617

and a total allowable weekly withdrawal of 2,000 pesos.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003618

In recent experiences po, they said that these withdrawals have become erratic and irregular, yung policies.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003619

So naayos na po ba ito sa ngayon?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003620

At nakarating po ba sa office ng ating Director General?

Source

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

asr-003621

Nakarating na po yung mga gantong reports sa ating Bureau of Corrections.

Source

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

asr-003622

They're inaayos na po nila yung ganitong mga sistema

Source

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

asr-003623

at pinapabalik na po sa normal na withdrawal po yung ating mga PDLs.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003624

Maasahan po ba natin, Madam Speaker, na sa linggong ito, maaayos na po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003625

yung sistema na ito ng withdrawal?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003626

Bababalik doon sa dati?

Source

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

asr-003627

Yes po. The Bureau of Corrections are guaranteeing that they will go back to the standard system po ng ating withdrawal.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003628

Magandang balita po na bababalik na yung dating sistema ng withdrawal.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003629

Pero mas magandang balita po sana kung magkakaroon na ng update tungkol naman doon sa restoration

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003630

ng nawawala na pera sa PDL Trust Fund.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003631

Meron na po ba kayong petsa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003632

kung kailan ito matitiyak na maibabalik?

Source

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

asr-003633

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, may update po ngayong araw. As we are informed, meron pong confiscated na pera ang BuCor, about 6 million in confiscated money na pinag-aaralan po nila na baka po pwedeng iyon yung gamitin to revert.

Source

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

asr-003634

Kung yun po yung pwedeng gamitin na maipangbayad sa mga nawawalan po ng amount

Source

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

asr-003635

kasi wala pong nagkiklaim nung confiscated money na yun.

Source

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

asr-003636

So sa ngayon po, undergoing legal study po yung paggamit po nung pera ngayon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003637

Dapat talaga maimbestigahan po yan, Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003638

kasi nakakahinala naman po na may biglang sumulpot na ganyan.

Source

Sa panahon na...

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003640

Napaka-init po ng issue na ito na nananawagan po tayo ng patas na investigasyon,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003641

ng malinaw na sistema at may malinaw na mananagot kapag may ganitong tipo ng mga issue.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003642

Madam Chair, nanggaling din po sa ating plenary deliberations ang Commission on Human Rights

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003643

at nagbigay po sila ng update tungkol dito sa nawawalang pondo sa Trust Fund sa CIW.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003644

At sinabi po nila,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003645

na ilang beses daw po sila na nagtangka po at nagplano na bumisita sa CIW

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003646

para mag-conduct ng kanilang independent investigation.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003647

Ngunit ang kanila pong ulat ay hindi po sila pinapapasok sa CIW.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003648

Maari bang magbigay ng paglilinaw ang ating distinguished sponsor tungkol dito?

Source

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

asr-003649

Madam Speaker, as per sa ating Bureau of Corrections,

Source

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

asr-003650

may coordination naman po with CIW and the Commission on Human Rights.

Source

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

asr-003651

Regarding this matter, kung nagkaproblema man daw po,

Source

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

asr-003652

ang malaking factor po daw ay yung pagdating kung kailan po dumating ang ating mga kawanimula po

Source

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

asr-003653

galing sa Commission on Human Rights. Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003654

Pwede ba natin malaman Madam Speaker kung ano po yung problema na yun?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003655

Hindi po ba pag may visitation ng CHR para mag-imbestiga tungkol sa mga potensyal na,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003656

paglabag sa karapatang pantao, at anytime, na dapat po payagan po sila na makapasok?

Source

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

asr-003657

As per our Bureau of Corrections, bandang hapon daw po dumating ang ating mga taga-CHR.

Source

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

asr-003658

Meron pong oras na sinusunod yung ating mga PDLs.

Source

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

asr-003659

So kaya daw po, hindi po muna pinapasok ang ating mga ka-PDLs.

Source

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

asr-003660

Ang kawanimula po sa Commission on Human Rights.

Source

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

asr-003661

Pero ang ating pong Bureau of Corrections are willing na makipagtulungan po sa ating pong CHR.

Source

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

asr-003662

Ayaw naman po nilang i-undermine yung kapangyarihan ng ating pong Commission on Human Rights.

Source

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

asr-003663

Lalo na po doon sa unannounced visits sa ating pong mga penal farms.

Source

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

asr-003664

So ang request lang,

Source

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

asr-003665

ang request lang rin po ng Bureau of Corrections, lalo na ay yung,

Source

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

asr-003666

siguro may mga safeguards rin po.

Source

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

asr-003667

Siyempre may security concern rin po silang,

Source

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

asr-003668

gustong masunod rin po.

Source

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

asr-003669

Madam Speaker, disengish ko ulit.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003670

Madam Speaker, may kopya po tayo ng sulat ng Bucor para po sa CHR.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003671

Tungkol sa request ng CHR para sa dialogue sa mga PDLs sa CIW.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003672

At may sinasabi po dito ang Bucor na,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003673

and let me just read this for the record.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003674

Considering Data Privacy Act and based from the 2024 Bucor Manual,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003675

there is a need for the requesting party to identify specifically the name, names of PDL subject for a dialogue interview

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003676

for us to secure the consent from the identified PDL.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003677

May we know the particular provision?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003678

In the Data Privacy Act as well as the 2024 Bucor Manual,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003679

which formed the basis of this particular statement?

Source

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

asr-003687

So ang protocol daw po sa ating Bureau of Corrections is

Source

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

asr-003688

kailangan po magpaalam po sa ating PDL kung gusto rin po nilang makipag-usap sa ating mga ibat-ibang gusto mag-interview po sa kanila.

Source

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

asr-003689

Pero as for kung meron pong...

Source

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

asr-003690

As for yung visitation manual po nila for PDLs,

Source

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

asr-003691

meron po kasing sinusunod na...

Source

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

asr-003692

oras sa kanilang manual Wednesday to Sunday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daw po

Source

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

asr-003693

ang ating pong visiting hours according to the Bureau of Corrections manual po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003694

Tama po ba yung rinig ko kailangan pong magpaalam ng CHR sa Bucor

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003695

para gawin yung kanilang constitutional duty?

Source

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

asr-003695-split-2

Ah, hindi naman po kailangang

Source

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

asr-003696

magpaalam po ang

Source

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

asr-003697

Commission on Human Rights to investigate, Madam Speaker.

Source

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

asr-003698

Ang close coordination lang po with the Bucor is enough

Source

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

asr-003699

because may mga security concerns nga po.

Source

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

asr-003700

May instance nga daw po kasi na may mga po mapasok nagpapanggap.

Source

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

asr-003701

Yun po yung nabanggit po ng ating pong Director General, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003702

Maraming salamat sa paglilinaw, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003703

At sana po hindi na maulit ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003704

Kasi hindi lang...

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003705

Hindi lang daw po isang beses na sumubok na magbisita ang CHR,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003706

kundi po tatlong beses.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003707

Kaya sana po magkaroon ng mas mahigpit na coordination

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003708

para lamang po dun sa interest ng katotohanan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003709

at sa interest ng pananagutan pagdating po sa napakahalaga na matter na ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003710

Ngayon naman, Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003711

pwede ba natin kunin yung commitment ng Bucor

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003712

dahil po sa marami pang hindi nasusunod na mga...

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003713

Dapat, no, katulad sa reporting, monitoring,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003714

may nakita tayong mga gaps pa sa mga proseso kung paano natin matipiyak

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003715

ng sistema na ito ay hindi po makukorup, hindi mawawala.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003716

Pwede bang ma-review natin itong sistema, itong guidelines na ito tungkol sa cashless system?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003717

Bukod dyan, Madam Speaker, maaari din na sa lalong madaling panahon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003718

Sinabi nyo nga po may development sa CIW.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003719

Ay ma-restore na dun sa dating sistema muna

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003720

habang nag-iimbestiga kayo at habang nire-review ninyo itong cashless system.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003721

Ang kinababahala ng representasyon na ito, Madam Speaker, sa CIW pa lang ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003722

So paano po, sana naman po hindi na hindi dapat ito nangyayari

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003723

sa kahit saan nating prison and penal terms.

Source

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

asr-003724

So they are committed to reviewing the policy on the cashless system po.

Source

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

asr-003725

Any suggestions or comments regarding that system are welcome po sa ating Bureau of Corrections

Source

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

asr-003726

and they are committed na hindi na po maulit yung ganitong insidente with the Commission on Human Rights.

Source

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

asr-003727

Basta ang request nga lang po, basta regarding security concern, ma-address po nilang dalawa.

Source

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

asr-003728

Close coordination with the Commission on Human Rights.

Source

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

asr-003729

And nagpa-audit na rin po ang ating Bureau of Corrections regarding,

Source

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

asr-003730

kung may ganitong incident sa other penal firms para po maiwasan na yung ganitong mga klaseng insidente.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003731

Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker, at ating aabangan yung risulta ng internal audit service na yan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003732

Ngayon naman po, at tungkol naman po sa ibang mahalaga din na usapin,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003733

tungkol po sa legal assistance para sa child support cases.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003734

Kung maari po nating matanong ang Public Attorney's Office,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003735

how many cases for child support?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003736

What is PAO currently handling?

Source

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

asr-003737

As of now po, Madam Speaker, there is no data regarding child support cases pero parang sa VAUSI po talaga yung kanilang data.

Source

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

asr-003738

Maraming salamat Madam Speaker.

Source

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

asr-003739

Hindi po siya broken down.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003740

Pahingin na lang po natin yung ulat kapag nagawa na po ito ng PAO dahil kami rin po ay nagsulunsad ngayon ng Pambansang Review ng Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003741

At marami po sa mga usapin ng mga nagiging biktima, survivors natin ay may kinalaman sa child support, kasama na ang spousal support.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003742

Kaya nais ko rin pong magtanong, dahil ang Pilipinas po ay nag-gratify ng Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003743

meron din po bang nahahawakan ng mga kaso ang PAO na may kinalaman sa demand for child support?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003744

At family maintenance mula po sa mga Pilipinos na nagtatrabaho at nakatira overseas?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003745

O nanggaling naman po sa mga foreigners outside of the Philippines?

Source

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

asr-003747

Madam Speaker, shinees colleague.

Source

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

asr-003748

Naka-lumped.

Source

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

asr-003749

Summum na po kasi yung data na yan sa BAUSI cases.

Source

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

asr-003750

So, hindi po nila nabre-breakdown pa kung sino po yung nag-a-avail ng ganitong klaseng assistance with regard to child support in international cases.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003751

Madam Speaker, tayo po ay mag-initiate ng dialogo sa PAO at tungkol dito at sa mga relevant agencies natin, lalo na sa Central Authority natin dito, ang DSWD.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003752

So, para matiyak na ang mga konbensyon na kung saan tayo ay kasama, ay talagang natitiyak natin na nai-enforce, may maayos na implementasyon dito sa ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003753

At kung meron po kayong mga pinakahuling ulat tungkol dito, ay tatanggapin po ng ating representasyon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003754

Ngayon naman, Madam Speaker, pinakahuli ko po na ilalapit at ihahapag sa Department of Justice

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003755

tungkol po sa nakalaan na 90 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003756

90 million pesos noong 2024 para sa agricultural camp for children in conflict with the law.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003757

Maari po ba natin malaman mula sa Bucor kung ano na po ang status ng sinasagawa na ito o tinatayo na ito na the agri-camp

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003758

sa ayon sa ating Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.

Source

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

asr-003759

So, ongoing po sa ngayon ang agricultural camp.

Source

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

asr-003760

Ito turn over pa lang po sa Bucor ang kampong ito kapag natapos na.

Source

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

asr-003761

Pero ang main agency po na humahawak po sa pag-implement po nito ay DSWD, funding from the DPWH po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003762

During the DSWD budget briefing, Madam Speaker, this representation has also manifested its misgivings

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003763

on the construction of an agri-camp within the Iwahit penal farm as it may create stigma and bias against the CICLs

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003764

who, under the juvenile justice system, should be rehabilitated, not put in prison.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003765

Narilis ko po itong concern na ito kasi pinaliwanag din po sa akin ng DSWD na malaki yung lupa, malaki po yung area.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003766

Pero yung mismo pong pagkakadikit noong facility for children doon sa pangalan mismo ng Iwahit,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003767

baari na pong mag-create talaga ng stigma at mag-sponsor ng bias against them.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003768

No, kaya po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003769

Sana.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003770

Kaya po ma-address ng DOJ at ng BUCOR ang concern na ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003771

Ang pakipag-upuan, nakausap na rin po namin ang Council for the Welfare of Children at ang JJWC tungkol sa concern na ito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003772

na kung paano po natin isa sa ayos.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003773

Hindi lang yung concern tungkol sa bias, pero yung concern din tungkol sa visitation ng family,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003774

ng kanilang mga kakilala, na kung nag-iisa lang po yan at napakalayo, hindi po magiging ganun kadali.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003775

No, para yung mga bata.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003776

Ay tuloy-tuloy po yung kanilang support system mula naman sa labas ng camp, ng agri-camp na ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003777

At nananawagan din po tayo sa kapulungan na ito na agaran ng tignan yung mga naiulat sa atin na gaps sa implementation ng JJWA.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003778

Dahil malinaw po na marami pang hindi napapatupad ng mga probisyon, bukod dyan marami pang pondo na kinakailangan para matiyak na yung mga mahalagang programa for rehabilitation,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003779

ay nabibigyan ng sapat na pondo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003780

At bilang pang huli, mag-i-request din po ang aming representation.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003781

Sana makapag-arrange po muli ang kongreso kasama ang mga child rights advocates ng ocular inspection sa facility.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003782

At matiyak po natin na magiging tunay na child-friendly ang facility na ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003783

At tunay na facility para po sa hustisya.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003784

Maraming maraming salamat Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003785

Maraming salamat sa Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003786

Sa DOJ Bucor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003787

Sa PAO at sa lahat po ang mga kasama natin ngayong araw.

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

Thank you Representative Elago, Majority Leader.

Rep. Ryan S. Recto

asr-003793

Madam Speaker, I move to recognize the Honorable Tino to interpolate the sponsor.

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003794

Representative Antonio Tino of ACT Teacher's Partylist is hereby recognized for his interpolation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003795

Thank you Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003796

Madam Speaker, before I begin with my interpolation, I would like to make a clarificatory statement on the record.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003797

Earlier in my interpolation of the MMDA, I asserted that the controversial July 14 post regarding the giving of a ticket to a teacher

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003798

was posted on the website of MMDA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003799

I stand corrected, Madam Speaker, it is not in fact posted on the website

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003800

and it is correct that it was only posted on the personal blog, on a personal blog.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003801

So with that, I apologize to the Chair, Chairman Artes, and to the MMDA for making that wrong claim.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003802

Let that be on the record, Madam Speaker.

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003803

Really noted.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003804

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003805

Now let me proceed with my interpolation.

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003806

Before you proceed, I'd like to request the technical team to revert back the time.

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003807

Because this was not part of your interpolation.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003808

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003809

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003810

Alright, now to the interpolation of the DOJ.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003811

My questions, first of all, have to do with confidential funds.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003812

The documents of the Department of Justice and the attached agencies.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003813

So I have a graphic, kung pwede pong ipakita.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003814

Ayan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003815

So, dun po mas sa itaas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003816

For, at ang pinakamataas po na appropriation for confidential funds ng Department of Justice

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003817

was 1.91 billion pesos in 2025.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003818

For,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003819

for,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003820

a 10-year period from 2016 to 2027, and that is shown in the bar chart, bar,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003821

yeah, the bar chart on the screen,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003822

a total of 4.93 billion has been appropriated

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003823

for the DOJ, DOJ-wide,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003824

and that includes the proposed for 2027.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003825

Alright.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003826

Well, ito po yung mas siguro, mas madaling maintindihan yung visualization.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003827

So, binalikan po natin, the past 10 years, yung mga appropriations,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003828

o, blue is NEP.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003829

Um, orange is enacted in the GAA and the green obligated.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

And, uh, for the most part,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003834

yung inkilin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003835

and the actual, uh,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003836

ah, very close to each other.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003837

May, there was only one instance where

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003838

that is the year 2022, you can see 2022, where the actual exceeded the appropriations.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003839

Ibig sabihin, mas nadagdagan pa, possibly ibig sabihin nun na augment, augment from savings.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003840

Okay. But what is notable in this presentation is that in 2016, the level of appropriations for confidential funds was 259 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003841

And there was some growth throughout the years, pero hindi ganun kalaki.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003842

Okay. We do notice, however, that starting with this administration, the Marcos Jr. administration,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003843

ay naging significant na po ang paglaki ng confidential funds para sa Department of Justice across all agencies.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003844

Nakita po natin, in 2023, the proposed confidential funds was 383 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003845

However, it was Congress that made instructions.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003846

An institutional amendment to increase it.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003847

Kaya practically doble ang inilaki, naging 722 million, of which 700 million was actually used.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003848

Then, so ang unang nagpalaki po ay ang administrasyon ito, and it was through Congress.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003849

And then, in particular, in 2025, we see a...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003850

dramatic, a huge rise in the level of confidential funds for the Department of Justice, 2025 po ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003851

The proposed was 579 million in the NEP.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003852

Yung pinasan ng Kongreso sa GAA, 1.91 billion times 4. Times 4. Ang laki.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003853

At halos lahat yun, mukha, ay ginastos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003854

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003855

And then, we see the same pattern, although hindi kasing laki, nung 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003856

Ito, the current fiscal year.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003857

Ang proposed 579, ang in-approve ng Kongreso, doble.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003858

Almost doble, 1.07 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003859

And now, the proposed for 2027 is 579 million again, same level as this year.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003860

Well, ang tanong ngayon sa Kongreso, following recent patterns, dodoblehin na naman po ba yan?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003861

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003862

Baka pwedeng tanong natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003863

Well, ngayon, sasabihin, Kongreso ang gumawa niyan, Kongreso.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003864

Pero alam naman natin, yung Kongreso ay umaakto batay sa request ng agency.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003865

Di ba, ganun ang patakaran ng BARC.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003866

Para ma-increase ito, it has to be.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003867

It has to be an institutional amendment.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003868

And the Congress, the BARC only acts on official requests coming from the agency itself.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003869

So, in other words, yung nangyari nung, pwede natin sabihin, nangyari nung 2025, 2026,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003870

ay humingi ng dagdag ang department sa mga ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003871

So, ang tanong ko po, meron na naman po ba ang request for additional?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003872

Confidential funds ang DOJ for 2027?

Source

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

asr-003873

Madam Speaker, it is initially meron po, to keep it at the same level lang po as of that 2026 level.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003874

So, meaning to say, gustong dagdagan muli at gawing 1.07 billion. Ganun po ba?

Source

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

asr-003875

As for...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003876

Yun ang ibig sabihin nun.

Source

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

asr-003877

Madam Speaker.

Source

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

asr-003878

Yung request po nila, for OSEC proper, 214 million po kasi yung 2026.

Source

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

asr-003879

Ang gusto lang po ng Department of Justice is to keep it at the same level of 214.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003880

Ah, okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003881

Well, we also have...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003882

May tables pa po tayo per department.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003883

If you scroll down.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003884

So, yung OSEC, yun na po ang sinasabi nyo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003885

Gusto nilang ma-increase.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003886

Well, according to the data here, for 2026, the enacted...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003887

For the Office of the Secretary was P730 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003888

Di po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003889

2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003890

Well, the breakdown is,

Source

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

asr-003891

OSEC proper po ay P214,471,000,

Source

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

asr-003892

the witness protection.

Source

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

asr-003893

P500 million.

Source

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

asr-003894

Yakat, P10 million.

Source

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

asr-003895

Office of Cybercrime, P475,000.

Source

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

asr-003896

Ah, okay.

Source

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

asr-003897

NCCO, SISAM, is at P5 million po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003898

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003899

But those all fall under the Office of the Secretary?

Source

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

asr-003900

Yes po, Madam Secretary.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003901

Yes.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003902

So, kaya po, pag tinotal nyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003903

if I'm not mistaken,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003904

pag tinotal nyo, P730 million yan.

Source

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

asr-003905

Yes.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003906

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003907

So, yun po, kayo bin-breakdown.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003908

Actually, we would appreciate

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003909

to be provided with that breakdown.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003910

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003911

So, yun pala, mas narinig natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003912

Pwede pong pakiulit lang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003913

para malinaw din, no,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003914

na itong P730 million na ito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003915

ay napunta sa iba't-ibang mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003916

opisina or programa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003917

sa ilalim ng Office of the Secretary.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003918

Pakiulit lang po.

Source

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

asr-003919

So, Madam Speaker,

Source

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

asr-003920

for Office of the Secretary,

Source

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

asr-003921

for the Secretary proper,

Source

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

asr-003922

P214 million, P471,000.

Source

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

asr-003923

For the Witness Protection Program,

Source

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

asr-003924

P500 million po.

Source

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

asr-003925

Pinakamalaki.

Source

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

asr-003926

Yung Interagency Council

Source

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

asr-003927

against Trafficking,

Source

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

asr-003928

P10 million.

Source

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

asr-003929

Office of the Cybercrime po,

Source

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

asr-003930

P475,000.

Source

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

asr-003931

Tapos yung sa NCC

Source

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

asr-003932

o sa CSIM po,

Source

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

asr-003933

ay P5 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003934

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003935

So, thank you for that breakdown.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003936

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003937

at least,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003938

hindi po makikita kasi yan sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003939

GAA itself,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003940

nor even in the NEP.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003941

So, that's additional information

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003942

na more or less would give us

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003943

more of an idea

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003944

kung saan gagamitin itong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003945

confidential funds na ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003946

Pinakamalaki po na nabanggit nyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003947

P500 million

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003948

goes to the Witness Protection Program.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003949

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003950

So, ganun din po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003951

So, yun nga ang tanong natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003952

Bakit po sa ilalim

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003953

ng Marcos Jr. Administration

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003954

ay lumobo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003955

to unprecedented levels

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003956

historically

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003957

yung confidential funds

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003958

ng DOJ.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003959

Whereas,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003960

at least in the past 10 years,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003961

nasa level lang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003962

ng around 300,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003963

less than 300,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003964

less than 400 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003965

So, parang times five po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003966

As high as times five

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003967

yung naabot.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003968

Paano po din na-justify ito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003969

ng Department of Justice?

Source

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

asr-003970

Well, Madam Speaker,

Source

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

asr-003971

Distinguished Colleague,

Source

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

asr-003972

as an agency dealing with

Source

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

asr-003973

investigative and prosecutorial functions,

Source

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

asr-003974

kailangan po yung

Source

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

asr-003975

confidential funds

Source

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

asr-003976

kasi

Source

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

asr-003977

it may affect its capacity

Source

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

asr-003978

to conduct intelligence gathering,

Source

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

asr-003979

surveillance,

Source

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

asr-003980

and other confidential law enforcement operations.

Source

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

asr-003981

So, mahalaga po yung confidential funds

Source

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

asr-003982

sa isang departamento na

Source

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

asr-003983

nag-iimbestaga po

Source

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

asr-003984

ng iba't ibang kaso.

Source

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

asr-003985

Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003986

Madam Speaker, nabanggit po na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003987

sa hinihinging,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003988

so in other words, to be clear,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003989

humihingi na naman po ng additional

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003990

confidential funds

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003991

ang DOJ.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003992

Tama po.

Source

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

asr-003993

Yes po. To keep it at the same level lang po ng 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003994

Keep it at the same level as 2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003995

No? So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003996

that would be...

Source

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

asr-003997

180 million po yung

Source

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

asr-003998

requested, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003999

180 million?

Source

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

asr-004000

Yes.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004001

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004002

Additional, bale.

Source

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

asr-004003

Yes.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004004

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004005

Um...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004006

Pakiklaro po, yung Witness Protection Program,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004007

ito yung pinakamalaki,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004008

500 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004009

Is...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004010

Does that comprise the whole budget

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004011

of the Witness Protection Program?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004012

Or just a confidential...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004013

ah...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004014

a con...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004015

a confidential expenses portion?

Source

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

asr-004016

Confidential expenses portion lang po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004017

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004018

So, magkano po yung kabuhuang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004019

budget

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004020

para sa Witness Protection Program?

Source

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

asr-004021

For the total po, excluding po yung confidential expenses, P625,633,000.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004022

Okay. So yung total, including confidential funds, ay P1,000,000,000.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004023

Okay.

Source

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

asr-004024

So, for the fiscal year 2026 po pala, including na po yung P500,000,000, dun sa P626,193,000.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004025

Okay. So, well, this is my concern, Madam Speaker. So, P626,000,000 ang total budget for the Witness Protection Program in fiscal year 2026 ngayong taon.

Source

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

asr-004026

Yes.

Source

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

asr-004027

Yes.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004028

P626,000,000, 500,000,000 of that, confidential expenses.

Source

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

asr-004029

Yes, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004030

Okay. So, P126,000,000 lang bale yung hindi confidential funds.

Source

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

asr-004031

Yes, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004032

Okay. So, yun po ang concern natin. How come practically the whole program runs with the use of confidential funds?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004033

Ibig sabihin, yung...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004034

Lack of transparency, there are many issues here.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004035

Pagka-confidential funds po, exempted from normal bidding, procurement, and so on, policies of government.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004036

So, bakit po ganung kalaki yung ginagawang confidential funds?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004037

Ano po ang explanation doon?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004038

Is there...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004039

Is there...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004040

Hindi ba posibleng naman na...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004041

Of course, naintindihan natin, obviously, kailangang protektahan ang sensitive information regarding witnesses, witness protection nga eh.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004042

Diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004043

So, definitely, hindi pwedeng ma-reveal yung mga pangalan, mga individual sa Witness Protection Program, locations, and any other information that would...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004044

Somehow, give away the identities of those under the Witness Protection.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004045

Wala pong question doon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004046

However, to my mind, it's possible to maintain such secrecy or confidentiality while still allowing transparency in the use of funds.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004047

So, hindi ba pwedeng ganun na i-share nyo kung paano ginastos ang pondo at i-limit lamang yung talagang confidential expenses?

Source

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

asr-004048

Yes.

Source

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

asr-004049

So, Madam Speaker, may compliance naman po sila with the requirement regarding the use of confidential funds.

Source

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

asr-004050

Tapos, lahat po ng galaw po kasi regarding sa Witness Protection Program, doon po, ibinabawas yung pondo, lalo doon po yung mga safe houses, yung benefits sa ating pong witnesses, livelihood, protection, counseling, doon po talaga naka-charge po sa ating pong confidential expenses ng Witness Protection Program.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004051

Sir, mag-ingat kayo sa mga statement, ha?

Source

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

asr-004052

Livelihood, counseling, and so on.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004053

That may not be covered by the COA DBM Resolution on Guidelines on Confidential Expenses.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004054

So, are you sure about that?

Source

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

asr-004055

Because it is stated po sa…

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004056

Parang wala po yung livelihood doon sa COA DBM Resolution on a use of confidential and intelligence funds.

Source

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

asr-004057

Because nasa ano po?

Source

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

asr-004058

So, RA 6981 po, Section 7 and 8 po yung rights and benefits po under the Witness Protection Program.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004059

I don't have the guidelines in front of me.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004060

However, I don't recall that livelihood is covered or is an allowed expense under confidential funds.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004061

So, I don't know.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004062

Pause lang po yung time para hindi na…

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004064

Ah, okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004065

Sige po.

Source

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

asr-004066

Yung sa rights and benefits po kasi under the RA 6981,

Source

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

asr-004067

the department shall whenever practicable assist the witness in obtaining a means of livelihood.

Source

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

asr-004068

So, yun po yung basis.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004069

Okay. What the sponsor has cited is that there is legal basis for giving benefits to those under the witness protection program.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004070

The law does not state that those have to come from confidential expenses.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004071

Di po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004072

At again, kung titignan natin yung COA DBM resolution or joint resolution on confidential and intelligence expenses, wala pong livelihood doon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004073

I mean, I can confidently state that dahil, syempre, nasa balita ngayon yung use of confidential funds.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004074

Alam nyo na.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004075

Alam nyo naman yan, because of the impeachment of the Vice President, di ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004076

And in fact, isa nga sa mga sinita ng COA ay initially, sabi ng Office of the Vice President,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004077

they used some of the confidential funds to provide groceries and medicines to informants.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004078

Disallowed. In fact, there was a notice of disallowance on that.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004082

Tumatakbo po po yung oras

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004083

Sana po

asr-004087

the Department of Justice po

Source

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

asr-004088

there is a risk

Source

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

asr-004089

in exposing po yung identities po

Source

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

asr-004090

ng ating pong witnesses

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

asr-004091

kapag

Source

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

asr-004092

nag-go through po ng

Source

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

asr-004093

standard procurement

Source

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

asr-004094

procedure

Source

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

asr-004095

ang iniiwasan po nila

Source

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

asr-004096

is to expose the identities

Source

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

asr-004097

of these witnesses

Source

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

asr-004098

which are needed

Source

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

asr-004099

yung testimony naman nila

Source

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

asr-004100

needed to prosecute the case

Source

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

asr-004101

in which they are

Source

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

asr-004102

covered by the witness protection program

Source

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

asr-004103

so all of this

Source

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

asr-004104

naman po yung gastos

Source

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

asr-004105

is for the investigation po

Source

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

asr-004106

ng ating pong kaso at hand

Source

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

asr-004107

kung saan po sila

Source

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

asr-004108

kung saan po sila

Source

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

asr-004109

nag-apply as a witness

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004110

well of course naintindihan po natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004111

absolutely kailangan ma-protect

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004112

yung identities under the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004113

witness protection program

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004114

kaya nga witness protection program

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004115

however in other words

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004116

kailangan gumawa ng paraan para makapag

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004117

procure for livelihood

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004118

without

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004119

pwede naman eh

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004120

di ba

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004121

hindi mo naman kailangan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004122

ipangalan sa bidding documents

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004123

or whatever

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004124

or sa purchase orders

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004125

yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004126

pangalan ng witness

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004127

or

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004128

so in other words

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004129

there are ways of doing this

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004130

the other way is to classify

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004131

certain information

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004132

di ba

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004133

as a secret

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004134

and so on

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004135

so may mga paraan po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004136

and I'm

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004137

what I'm pointing out

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004138

is based on

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004139

what has been

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004140

been shared

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004141

livelihood

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004142

hindi covered

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004143

even if there is

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004144

legal basis

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004145

in the witness protection law

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004146

the guidelines on

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004147

confidential expenses

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004148

does not allow that

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004149

okay so

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004150

i-review po sana ng DOJ

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004151

and then yun na nga po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004152

ang concern natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004153

na napakalaking pondo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004154

ang nilalaan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004155

sa confidential funds

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004156

humingi pa ng mas malaki

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004157

ang DOJ

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004158

pero

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004159

strictly speaking

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004160

katulad ng nakikita po natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004161

sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004162

impeachment trial

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004163

eh

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004164

Pag minusisi mo talaga, mukhang may mga problema, diba, sa confidential funds.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004165

So, the General Provisions on Confidential Funds, the General Appropriations Act requires that all agencies using confidential funds must submit a report.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004166

That agencies utilizing confidential funds shall submit to the President of the Philippines and both Houses of Congress a quarterly report on the accomplishments in the use of said funds.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004167

It's not a report on how the funds were spent, you know, as in magkano, kanino nyo binaya, and so on.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004168

Sabi rito, a report on the accomplishments.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004169

Ano ang na-achieve, diba, sa paggamit ng confidential funds?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004170

Does the DOJ comply with this quarterly reportorial requirement?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004171

May quarterly accomplishment report po?

Source

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

asr-004172

Yes, the DOJ submits the quarterly accomplishments po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004173

So, submit to the President and both Houses of Congress.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004174

So, dapat ang Kongreso meron din po yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004175

Meron po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004176

Meron po ang Kongreso.

Source

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

asr-004177

Meron din po, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004178

Okay. Siguro, itatanong na lang natin sa Kongreso kung meron yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004179

At now, can the DOJ share these accomplishment reports?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004180

Hindi naman ito about the expenses but on the accomplishments.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004181

Ibig sabihin, batay sa ginastos namin, ito yung na...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004182

nagawa natin, no, in the, in fulfilling the mandate of the agency.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004183

So, can this accomplishment report be shared?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004184

Not just to Kongreso but to the public.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004185

Hindi naman sinabi rito na dapat confidential yung accomplishment report.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004186

Diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004187

Ano po ang sagot ng ahensya?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004188

Because...

Source

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

asr-004189

As for the ACAPI po, within, they are complying with the...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004190

Ah, sige.

Source

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

asr-004191

What was said, they are submitting quarterly reports po sa ating Office of the President and the H.O.R.

Source

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

asr-004192

As to sharing it with the public po, to afford full protection po ng ating pong witnesses,

Source

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

asr-004193

we cannot divulge that information.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004194

As of sharing, for example,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004195

So, ang isang example niyan would be because of the use of confidential funds for rewards.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004196

Nahuli namin si ganito, ex, na matagal ng wanted.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004197

O hindi pa pwedeng malaman ng publiko yun na because of a reward given through confidential funds.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004198

Nahuli.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004199

Si wanted criminal, ganito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004200

O, may nalalabag ba doon?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004203

Well...

Source

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

asr-004235

May I clarify, Madam Speaker, if any use of confidential funds, not necessarily the confidential expenses in the witness protection program?

Source

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

asr-004236

Puyong tinatanong niyo kung pwedeng ma-share po yung...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004237

In general po.

Source

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

asr-004238

In general.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004239

O, yung lahat.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004240

Yung lahat ng accomplishments.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004241

Para makita ng taong bayan, talaga bang may nagawa to?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004242

At hinihingi pa kayo ng dagdag eh.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004243

Nakatulong ba sa pag-aresto ng mga wanted?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004244

Nakatulong ba sa pag-convict ng mga...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004245

Dapat...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004246

Mapakulong.

Source

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

asr-004247

So, Madam Speaker, in general, they cannot...

Source

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

asr-004248

They cannot.

Source

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

asr-004249

They'll valsh because it would affect investigation of other activities rin po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004250

Okay, okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004251

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004252

Okay, noted po yung mga sagot niyo and then that informs our position and strengthens our position

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004253

on the excesses in appropriations and use of confidential funds.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004254

But let me move on kasi pa maubos po ang oras natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004255

I want to move on to the...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004256

Thank you po for answering questions.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004257

Regarding the confidential expenses, nanatili yung posisyon natin na pambihira po ang paglobo ng confidential funds

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004258

mula nung panahon ni...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004259

ng dating...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004260

ng nakarang administrasyon, pinagpatuloy at lalo pang dinagdagan ng Marcos Jr. Administration.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004261

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004262

At sa ang paniniwala natin, the objectives of these funds may be accomplished without necessarily...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004263

without necessarily...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004264

without necessarily...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004265

giving it blanket confidentiality.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004266

Pinapakita ng nangyari sa Office of the Vice President kung gaano kadali ang pag-abuso nito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004267

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004268

Anyway, let me move on to the PCGG na attached agency po ng DOJ.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004269

At alam po natin ang tanging mandato ng PCGG, Recovery of Marcos Ilgatenwell.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004270

Tama po?

Source

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

asr-004271

Tama po, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004272

At recently, of course, nagkaroon po ng ruling ang Sandigang Bayan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004273

Sandigang Bayan po, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004274

Nagkaroon ng ruling ang Sandigang Bayan in the civil case number 0141.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004275

This is an omnibus civil case filed way back in 1991 by the PCG.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004276

For the recovery of numerous properties from the Marcos family.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004277

In fact, may mga partial na nabawi na, significant.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004278

Like the Swiss bank deposits worth $658 million, the Arelma accounts, the jewelry, the famous jewelry collection,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004279

at saka a number of...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004280

A number of paintings, and so on.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004281

Bahagi yun ang civil case na ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004282

Pero recently po, ay may decision na i-dismiss to, at actually, yung gobyerno pa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004283

Ang nagsabi, pwede ba i-dismiss na natin?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004284

Or hindi na namin i-pro-prosecute ang kaso?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004285

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004286

At pwedeng ipaliwanag kung anong nangyari dito?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004287

Anong nangyari dito?

Source

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

asr-004288

The PCGG was required to manifest kung gusto pang magpresenta ng ebidensya for the rest of the assets po na alleged po doon sa complaint. So again, ang PCGG ay nag-manifest na...

Source

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

asr-004290

They manifested that they will still present evidence po.

Source

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

asr-004291

They will not present any evidence po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004292

Okay. Yun nga. Dahil nag-manifest ng PCGG,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004293

hindi na sila makakapag...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004294

They will no longer present evidence.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004295

The case was dismissed.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004296

The civil case was dismissed.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004297

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004298

Um, could the, uh, could the PCGG just, uh, place on the record how much of that civil case 0141, may partial recoveries,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004299

how much was, remained, has remained unrecovered because they said they would no longer present evidence?

Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-004300

The chair would like to inform Rep. Inyo that his time has expired.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004301

Thank you.

Source

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

asr-004302

We'll just get the exact figure po, Madam Speaker, if we could give it also or provide it to our distinguished colleague.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004303

Okay. So, yun po yung isang tanong. Hindi po nila mabigay?

Source

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

asr-004304

They're just getting the numbers po, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004305

Getting the numbers.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004306

And then, um, during the budget hearings, I asked and I have been provided with...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004307

ah, information on the total value of the remaining pending PCGG cases for recovery of ill-gotten wealth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004308

And here, ah, ah, the PCGG has said that there are a total of 67 pending cases pending before the Sandigan Bayan or lower courts.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004309

34.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004310

34.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004311

On appeal...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004312

With, ah, Supreme Court or CA 31, pending in foreign courts, 2, for a total of 67,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004313

the total monetary value of ill-gotten wealth that should be recovered amounts to 76.773 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004314

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004315

Ah, does the PCGG confirm that?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004316

Meron pa pong 67 cases na pending na...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004317

ill-gotten wealth case na gusto pang bawiin ng gobyerno sa Pamilya Marcos.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004318

76.773 billion.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004319

Tama po?

Your Honor,

Ang project po natin.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004509

Ang unang dalawang SARO po kasi ng project ay

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004510

nanggaling na sa Office of the President.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004511

Pero ngayon po

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004512

humihingi po kami

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004513

siyempre

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004514

ng kaukulang pondo

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004515

dito na sa atin.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004516

Dahil po

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004517

ang DPWH naman po

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004518

siyempre

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004519

nagkaroon tayo ng

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004520

MOA

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004521

dahil sila ang mas higit na nakakaalam sa implementation ng proyekto.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004522

Kaya po, nararapat lang na ang DPWH ang mag-implement ng project.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004538

Madam Speaker, my follow-up question is, what is the precise financial responsibility of the PRA, the Department of Public Works and Highways, and the Office of the President for the project?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004539

And which entity will own, operate, maintain, and receive revenues from the completed facility?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004540

Madam Speaker, Your Honor, PRA handles the government asset and project side, while DPWH handles the procurement, design, and construction.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004541

Ang project naman po ay para sa nasyonal.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004542

Government under the Office of the President.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004543

At ito po ay sinama sa list of infrastructure project, flagship project ng pamahalaan.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004544

Kapag natapos na po ang PIEC, pangangasiwaan po ito ng PRA.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004545

So, ang revenue po na makukuha dito ay makakadagdag

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004546

sa dibidendo na ibinibigay ng PRA sa pamahalaan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004547

So, in short, Madam Speaker, once the project has been completed, PRA na po ang magpapatakbo. Tama ho ba yun?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004548

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004549

Next, what alternative financing arrangements including PRA corporate funds, land development, revenues, borrowings, or private participation were evaluated before additional national government funding was sought?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004550

Ito po ba

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004553

Pinag-aralang mabuti bago po kayo humingi ng national government funding?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004554

Ah, yes po. Ito po ay pinag-aralang mabuti bago po kami humingi ng pondo.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004555

Ayon po kasi sa CAVCOM approval, NEDA board confirmation at RDC approval, ang national government ang gagastos ng project cost.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004556

At ang PRA naman, ang contribution niya ay yung lupa.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004557

Okay. What return, whether through revenue, employment, tourism receipts, or appreciation of public land, should taxpayers expect from this investment?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004558

Ang financial and economic benefits po ay evaluated ng NEDA.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004559

Ah, 1.33 trillion pesos, absolute peso value of total net economic benefits over 50 years based on conservative assumption.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004560

And 377.7 billion pesos, absolute peso value of total net financial benefit over 50 years based on conservative assumptions.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004561

So, Madam Speaker, if the PIEC eventually generates a profit, will the national government recover its 5 billion contribution before revenues are retained?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004562

Or distributed elsewhere? Ito po ba ibabalik sa gobyerno o i-dedistribute po sa iba-ibang departamento?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004563

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004564

Which particular department po or agencies ang makikinabang dito once na-recover po itong 5 billion contribution ng national government?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004565

Siyempre po, ang makikinabang dito, ang ating unang-una, ang BIR.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004566

Kasi, siyempre, yung papasok na profit sa atin.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004567

And ikalawa po, inaasahang lilikha ito ng trabaho, negosyo para sa mga, especially yung sa mga hotels po.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004568

Kasi napapaikutan siya ng establishment.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004569

Of course, pag may convention, so yun po ang papasok na income sa gobyerno.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004570

At ang ikatlo po, lalaki.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004571

Ang turismo sa Pilipinas, dahil tayo po ay, alam natin, napag-iiwanan na rin natin.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004572

Napag-iiwanan na tayo kasi wala nga tayong mapagdausan ng malaking mga events sa Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004573

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004574

The PIEC is reported to cost approximately 27 billion.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004575

Tama ho ba ito?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004576

27 billion ang total na...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004577

Yes.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004578

27 billion.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004579

And then your target will be this year, 40% lang po ang completion and the rest will be on 2027 by the end of 2027.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004580

Ito ba yung makukumpleto natin before the end of 2027? Itong project na ito?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004581

Hindi pa po natin makukumpleto ang proyekto ngayong 2027.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004582

Ang inish, ang inaasahan po natin makukumpleto.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004583

Ito ang proyekto ay sa April 2028.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004584

April?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004585

2028 po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004586

2028.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004587

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004588

So, my next question, what is the complete funding and implementation plan for the PIEC from initial design through construction, equipment procurement, testing, and opening?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004589

So, ang kalahatang pondo nga po natin is 27 billion.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004590

Again, it's related to my first question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004591

What portion of the estimated 27 billion cost remains unfunded?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004592

Magkano po yung kailangan nyo pa po?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004593

Okay.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004594

Ang kakulangan pa po natin...

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004595

Pondo ay yung 5 billion at saka yung 10 billion para po makumpleto natin ang ating PIEC.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004596

So, while phase 1 reached only 90% completion by the end of 2027, kasama doon po ba yung 5 billion na i-appropriate na?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004597

O ito po'y kukulangin pa?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004598

Kumpleto po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004599

Kasama na yung 5 billion by 2027.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004600

So, the...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004601

The 5 billion additional fund, ito na po ang magtatapos o kukumpleto yun?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004602

No, hindi po.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004603

Phase 1 pa lang po yun.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004604

So, yung phase 1 kasama yung 5 billion.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004605

So, yung phase 2 po...

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004606

Yung phase 2 po, yun yung magtatapos po ng ating construction building, yung PIEC ng 10 billion pa po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004607

And that's the remaining?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004608

Yes.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004609

Yung sinama nyo na ba?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004610

Pinaktor na po yung inflation rate, lahat po kasama na dyan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004611

Pati yung dollar po natin habang ngayon.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004612

Tumataas pa?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004613

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004614

Anticipated na po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004615

Okay.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004616

My next question, climate resilience of a facility built on a reclaimed land.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004617

Kasi ito po lagi problema natin, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004618

Pag the property is being reclaimed.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004619

The PIEC is being built on reclaimed land in Manila Bay.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004620

An area exposed to typhoons, storm surge, sea level rise, land subsidence,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004621

liquefaction,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004622

and flooding.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004623

A facility expected to operate for several decades must be designed for future climate conditions

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004624

rather than only historical averages.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004625

Question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004626

What climate and geotechnical standards were used in designing the PIEC and its reclaimed site?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004627

Ito po kasi nagiging problema ngayon.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004628

Pag ano, sa Japan nga po, yung airport nila, every year po,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004629

nag-ano, nag-a...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004630

Magsisig, bumababa po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004631

Kasi ito po, malaki.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004632

We're talking about 27 billion plus 10 billion pa.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004633

Kung sakali po lumabog to or magka-problema.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004634

Alam niyo po, ang ating bansa, tayo po yung pinakapaborito ng mga...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004635

ng typhoons.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004636

Lagi nilang every year, not less than 20 typhoons na dumatid po sa atin.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004637

Your comment?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004638

Madam Speaker, Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004639

hindi po ako naniniwala, nalulubog.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004640

Kasi po, pinag-aralan natin, pinag-aralan ito.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004641

Hindi lang naman po ang DNR ang nag-aral dito.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004642

So, una po, sa climate resilient design,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004643

nagsasagawa po ng risk assessment upang matukoy ang climate related risk.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004644

Yun na nga po, particular ang flooding, storm,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004645

ay sinasagawa po at kinakailangan ng resilient measures sa design ng pasis.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004646

At ikalawa po, para sa flood protection,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004647

ang structure po ay disinenyong elevate above the applicable base flood levels

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004648

at magkakaroon ng flood barriers upang mabawasan ang exposure sa potential flood.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004649

At ikatlo po, para sa heat mitigation,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004650

kasama sa design ang passive cooling strategies

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004651

gaya ng natural ventilation.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004652

Shading, reflective roofing materials, at urban greening upang mabawasan ng heat gain at energy consumption.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004653

So, in short, sino ang contractor dito?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004654

Is it foreign or local po ang nanaro?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004655

Actually po, hindi pa naman po.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004656

Yung phase 1 po is EEI.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004657

So, itong second phase po natin,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004658

hindi pa naman po,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004659

nabibid.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004660

Kung mabibigyan po ng pagkakataon nga

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004661

para matuloy ang proyekto natin na ito,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004662

ay saka pa lang po ibibid

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004663

pag may pera na itong hawak.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004664

Ito ang kasi karamihan tinatanong,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004665

is the project undergone an independent climate risk stress test.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004666

Meron mo ba kayo na-hire na independent na very familiar

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004667

or ito po talagang kanilang forte

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004668

sa mga ganitong reclaimed site or area or land po

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004669

na climate risk stress test?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004670

Sino po?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004671

Meron mo kayong independent na kinuha na mag-survey?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004672

Meron po.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004673

Meron po siyempre independent agency na survey po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004674

O kung ilan po sila?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004675

Isa lang ho ba?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004676

Ano?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004680

Anong survey po niya na yung Royal Asconis?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004681

Royal Asconis.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004682

From, siguro, I guess from Europe to, no?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004683

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004684

Which particular?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004685

Dutch.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004686

Okay, Dutch.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004687

So, my follow-up question is also related, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004688

Alam nyo, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004689

Once na matapos na natin itong proyektong to,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004690

hindi lang po dyan nagtatapos yung ating pagbabantay, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004691

Although maganda yung project,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004692

nagkaroon ng independent stress test,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004693

pero alam nyo po, ang climate natin, every year, nagbabago.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004694

Who will pay for the future seawalls,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004695

ground stabilization or elevation works

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004696

if climate conditions exceed,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004697

the original assumption?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004698

Alam po natin, eh,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004699

pabago-bago po ating panoon.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004700

So, the good thing that we did today,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004701

pagdating 10 years from now,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004702

magbabago na naman yan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004703

So, sino po yung magmamonitor,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004704

yung tinatag nating operating,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004705

operation and maintenance,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004706

sino po ang mag-aalaga nito?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004707

Kairin mo po ba sa PRA

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004708

o meron mo kayong independent na kukunin

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004709

just to maintain itong ating facility?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004710

We're talking about 27 billion.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004711

PRA pa rin po, siyempre.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004712

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004713

Sila pa rin po.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004714

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004715

So, do you have enough technical people

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004716

to maintain itong seawall natin

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004717

o ano man lang itong kailangan gawin dito?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004718

Meron po, kasi, di ba,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004719

nagsimula pa naman po ang reclamation,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004720

1973.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004721

Ako po nun ay,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004722

hindi ako magkakamali,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004723

apat na taong pa lang ako nun.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004724

So, nabukin nyo ang edad ko.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004725

So, wala naman po, di ba,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004726

wala naman tayong nabalitaan.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004727

Ganong mga incident.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004728

That's very enlightening, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004729

For how many years na nireclaim natin,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004730

not even one,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004731

na talagang sinabi na tinamaan

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004732

or nagsubside

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004733

or nawala.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004734

Naging tubig ulit.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004735

Siguro wala pa nangyayaring ganyan, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004736

In the history of PRA.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004737

So, congratulations sa inyo, PRA, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004738

For doing a good job.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004739

Now, I want to go to my second to the last question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004740

Status of Manila Bay reclamation

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004741

moratorium.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004742

The President suspended

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004743

Manila Bay reclamation projects

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004744

in 2023.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004745

Pending review.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004746

The suspension was later lifted

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004747

for certain PASAY projects

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004748

after compliance review

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004749

while other projects

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004750

remained suspended pending assessment.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004751

Question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004752

What is the exact status of every

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004753

reclamation project

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004754

covered by the Manila Bay suspension?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004755

Ilan ho ba yung

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004756

until now?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004757

Suspended po

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004758

ng mga projects po?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004759

Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004760

noong August 4,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004761

2023,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004762

pinatasan ng Pangulo

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004763

ang DNR at PRA

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004764

na isuspende ang lahat

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004765

ng reclamation projects

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004766

at activities sa Manila Bay.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004767

Habang nire-review po

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004768

ang compliance ng BAU.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004769

Bawat proponents sa existing laws, rules, regulation, at environmental requirement.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004770

Kasabay po ng pagsasagawa ng cumulative impact assessment.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004771

And sa status po ng Manila Bay Reclamation Moratorium, batay po sa kasalo po yung status or matrix na nasa aming records.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004772

Sandali lang po at masyadong maliit.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004773

Tayo po yung...

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004774

Apat po yung nalip na yung suspension. So meron pa pong sampo na ten na hindi pa po nalilip yung suspension.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004775

So all in all, fourteen.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004776

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004777

Fourteen. How many were granted?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004778

Na nagtuloy pa rin. Remember there was a suspension in the...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004779

Under review. And then tunuloy po. Diba?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004780

So ilan po yung ongoing projects ngayon?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004781

Apat po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004782

Apat?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004783

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004784

So hindi pala fourteen. Four at ten yung suspension.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004785

Four at ten po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004786

Okay. So in totality, ilan po ang total hectares natin sa Manila Bay ngayon?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004787

Yung ginagawa at saka yung dati na nagawa?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004788

Your Honor, ang ating pong ongoing projects ay 625 hectares.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004789

At yung mga dati po na nakalagay ngayon sa Manila Bay, yung MOA, yung mga hotels doon, ilan po yun total?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004790

700 hectares po, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004791

So all in all, sa Manila Bay, reclaimed lang, nasa almost 1,325 hectares?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004792

Yes po, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004793

So, ito, hypothetical po, magmula po doon sa Ross Boulevard,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004794

kung saan doon talaga ano, going there to 1,600, 1,325,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004795

mga ilang kilometro po ang ating na-reclaimed?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004796

So this is a ballpark figure.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004798

But at least may idea tayo kung gano'n nakahaba yung ating na-re-reclaimed.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004799

Your Honor, more or less po, seven kilometers.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004800

From the start ng Ross Boulevard pa gano'n, seven kilometers?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004801

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004802

Hindi ko na itatanong kung gano'n nakalalim yung mga tubig doon.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004803

Sigurado ko, it's going to be deep.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004804

So, I'm going to be, my last question, kasi maraming magtatanong din tungkol dito.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004805

So, I would like to end my question na cumulative environment impact on Manila Bay.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004806

An environmental compliance certificate typically evaluates an individual project.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004807

Manila Bay, however, may be affected by the combined effects of multiple reclamation projects

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004808

on water circulation, flooding, fisheries, sediment, movement, and coastal ecosystem.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004809

Question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004810

What?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004811

What is the present status of the government's cumulative impact assessment for Manila Bay reclamation?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004812

What has been completed to date?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004813

And when will the final assessment be available?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004814

Your Honor, yung phase one po natin is,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004815

completed na po yun.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004816

So, ang status po ay ongoing po yung iba kasi sinasagawa ng DNR.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004817

May mga regulatory options ang government.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004818

And ito po ay may mga additional mitigation, redesign, or modification imposed strictly condition.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004819

So, Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004820

as I said, completed na po ang phase one ng cumulative impact assessment or CIA na ay sinasagawa ng DNR

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004821

sa pamamagitan ng Marine Environmental and Resources Foundation Incorporated.

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004822

Ang resulta po ng phase one CIA study para sa Manila Bay reclamation project

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004823

ay tinalakay na rin po ng DNR noong December 2025.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004824

And noong March 2026 po, nagsagawa na rin ng meetings kasama mga proponents ng Manila Bay reclamation projects

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004826

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004827

Thank you, Madam Speaker, for my last question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004828

If the assessment identifies cumulative impact that cannot be adequately mitigated under the existing project configuration,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004829

what regulatory options are available to modify, suspend, or discontinue affected projects?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004830

Napaka-importante po yun ito.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004831

Yes po, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004832

Kung matukoy po sa cumulative impact assessment na may significance,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004833

can cumulative impact na hindi sapat na ma-address sa kasalukuyang configuration ng isang proyekto,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004834

hindi kailangang manatili ang proyekto sa original na design nito.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004835

Sa ilalim po ng regulatory framework, maaaring i-require ang additional mitigation measures,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004836

pagbabago sa project configuration o scope of work,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004837

at amendments sa environmental condition bago payagang magpatuloy.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004838

Your Honor.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Again, Madam Speaker, I'm convinced that PRA, they're doing a good job when it comes to reclaimed area.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004840

I hope one day, sana hindi ako mangyayari na lulubog po yung mga nireclaimed natin

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004871

Ano po ba ang cause nito?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-004872

Unang-una, sinasabi nila, reclamation sand, strong wind, whip up, loose, dry sand, and pine dirt

from ongoing land reclamation project along Manila Bay.

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, maliban po sa nabanggit ninyo na isang requirement,

asr-005047

para matanggal ang kanilang suspension o ma-lift ang suspension nila ay yung submission

Yung result po kasi ng cumulative impact ay hindi pa po lumalabas.

Doon naman po sa mga suspended na mga permits, ano po ang ginagawa ng PRA dito sa sampu na ito?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-005075

Meron po ba tayong follow-through o hinaya-alaman po natin silang makakompleto ng kanilang mga requirements?

Hindi po ba napapaso, Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor, yung mga ganitong application kung sakali pong hindi nakakakomply fully yung applicant?

Your Honor, depende po yun sa ECC kung papayagan nilang ma-extend.

So, halimbawa po itong sampu na ito, hanggang kailan po natin naasahan na po pwede silang makakomply doon sa requirement?

asr-005085

Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor.

Kasi meron ding apat na malalaking kumpanya na natanggalan din ng suspension at nag-proceed yung kanilang mga proyekto.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-005088

At sa panahon po ngayon na tumitingin talaga ang pagbaha sa Metro Manila at karating pong mga probinsya natin,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-005089

talaga pong isa sa tinitingnan ng ating mga kababayan na maaaring dahilan kung bakit ang baha ay hindi ganun kabilis mawala tulad dati na pagbumaha after a few hours

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-005090

or matagal na yung a few days ay bababa dahil po sa nangyayari yung mga developments na ito.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-005091

Ang tanong po natin ay, how can dredging and reclamation affect the worsening of flooding episodes in the country, particularly in NCR and our nearby provinces?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005092

Kaya nga po, nire-require namin na subject po ay for hydrodynamic modeling, flooding studies, and hydraulic studies.

Sige po, mukhang mahalaga po na sa sitwasyon po natin ngayon, hindi dapat sapat na mayroon lamang study na kinomission yung proponent.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-005099

The PRA should exercise due diligence in ensuring na ito po ay hindi makaka-apekto sa pagpapalala lalo ng baha sa Metro Manila at mga karating na po.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-005100

Yung sumunod ko naman po ang tanong, Madam Sponsor, Madam Speaker, ay paano po ang coastal defense ng mga reclaimed areas?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-005101

Kasi po sila na ngayon yung bago na nasa coast natin. So ano po ang coastal defense mechanisms na mayroon, kung mayroon man, itong mga proyektong ito?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-005102

Kasi baka po sa dulo, sila naman yung susunod na maging problema natin pagdating ng mga storm surge mula po sa area na yan.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005111

Ah dati po kasi ang seawall natin ay 3 meters lang. So ngayon po, ginawa na po natin siyang 7 meters.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-005112

So sino po ang magkoconstruct ng seawall dito po sa mga reclaimed areas na ito? Sino po ang gagastos?

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

Yung proponent na po, kasi po part po ito ng project.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-005121

Maaring patikim pa lang ito nangyayari sa atin at alam natin na isa sa tinitindahan ng ating mga kababayan ay mga pagkarami-raming reclamation projects na nangyayari sa Manila Bay.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-005122

Kailangan natin suriin ang kaugnayan ng mga reclamation projects sa lumalalang pagbaha sa Metro Manila at mga karating na probinsya.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

na mayroong matinding epekto sa kabuhayan ng mga manging isda, water circulation, traffic management at pagbaha,

Na nag-kumpirma ng kanilang compliance sa kanilang Environmental Compliance Certificates or ECCs, area clearance at mga requirements ng PRA.

Gayunman, ang kanilang pagpapatuloy ay mananatiling subject sa continuing monitoring at sa risulta ng cumulative impact assessment ng DNR.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005150

And mahalaga pong banggitin na sa Pasay 360, binago mismo ang configuration ng

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005151

reclamation upang magkaroon ng mas malawak na water channel sa pagitan ng mainland at reclaim island. Ang unang redesign po ay naglaan ng 300-meter channel at pagkatapos ay pinalawak

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

patungo humigit-kumulang 476 meters bilang bahagi ng mga hakbang upang tugunan ang hydrodynamic at flooding

concerns. Sa katunayan po, may bahagi ng dating reclaim na kinakailangang alisin o i-rehandle upang makagawa ng mas malawak na channel.

ng ating gobyerno na sa

meron pong foregone revenue?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005304

Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005305

ang nawawala lang po sa atin

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005306

ay yung

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005307

51% of land

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005308

share

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005309

sa gobyerno po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005310

Yes. Let's say,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005311

meron kang reclamation

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005312

na,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005313

na-approve po ninyo,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005314

let's say,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005315

5 years ago or 6 years ago.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005316

Ngayon, nung nag-uumpisa na siya,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005317

meron pong dinagdag na

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005318

pulisiya, halimbawa yung DNR

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005319

or whatever, investyo ng Senado,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005320

hindi na tuloy yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005321

proyekto. So, ang

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005322

foregone revenue po natin dyan, is not

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005323

just the sale of land, diba?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005324

Siyempre, may asset value appreciation

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005325

yan, meron po yan na

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005326

taxes,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005327

yung mga developers na papasok, na bibili

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005328

doon, magtatayo ng development,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005329

tapos lahat po yun

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005330

nawala. Ang tinatanong ko po is,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005331

are we computing the foregone revenue?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005332

Kasi para ho, alam rin

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005333

natin na ito ang nasasayang

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005334

pagka pabago-bago tayo.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005335

One agency or one Senate

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005336

investigation can

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005337

affect yung mga

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005338

investments.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005339

Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005340

actually po, malaki po

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005341

ang nawawala sa

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005342

PRA, pero po,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005343

hindi pa po namin na kukompute

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005344

kung magkano po. Pwede pong,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005345

ibibigay na lang po namin sa inyo, kung sakali,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005346

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005347

Baka nga po, it's time na,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005348

diba, we should be monitoring also those things

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005349

kasi, sayang po yan eh.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005350

Sayang po yan,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005351

we have the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005352

opportunity.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005353

Ang PRA po, I'm sure you're doing

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005354

roadshows, we offer

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005355

these to investors, and then the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005356

investor will come in, tapos

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005357

sa, dahil ho sa pabago,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005358

bagong pulisiya, hindi ba,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005359

eh, hindi ba tutuloy,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005360

nag-invest na sila,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005361

kasi meron ako mga

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005362

nakakausap, galing Singapore, nag-invest,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005363

nagpasok ng mga

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005364

vessels, tapos, dahil

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005365

sa, hindi ko alam,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005366

dahil sa politika, or dahil sa problema

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005367

ng, halimbawa,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005368

magkaaway dun sa isang lugar yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005369

congressman, tsaka yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005370

LGU, eh,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005371

nagkakaroon na ng problema, hindi natutuloy yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005372

project. So, ang nais ko lang,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005373

po, eh, sana, meron tayong

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005374

definite number na napapakita

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005375

na ito po ang nangyayari.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005376

That's why the national government

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005377

should intervene. And maybe it's about

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005378

time that congress also makes

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005379

or creates a law na dapat

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005380

pag may national projects of

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005381

of, ah, significant importance,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005382

dapat po, hindi na po natin,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005383

hindi na po siya nagagalaw.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005384

Hindi po pwedeng galawin ng,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005385

ah, hindi po pwedeng baguhin ng local

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005386

government. Ah, yan lang po ang

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005387

sinasabi ko, para nakikita po natin kung ano'y,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005388

kung ano'y nawawala.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005389

Yes, po, your honor na. Intindihan

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005390

po namin yung, ah,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005391

pinapoint mo.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005392

So, my next question, ah,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005393

Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005394

currently,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005395

does PRA proactively brief

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005396

the relevant members and committees of both

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005397

the House and Senate on major reclamation

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005398

projects? The investment

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005399

involved projected government

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005400

revenues, timeline safeguards,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005401

and government approvals already

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005402

obtained. Kaya ako po tinatanong yan,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005403

I want to be clear, I'm not

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005404

suggesting that congress should become

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005405

another approving body.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005406

Ayaw natin dagdagan ng proseso

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005407

or pahabain pa ang approvals.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005408

But congress makes the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005409

laws. And eventually, here's

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005410

many of these policy issues.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005411

Wouldn't it be better

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005412

for PRA to brief congress early

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005413

so legislators understand

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005414

the project safeguards

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005415

and economic implications

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005416

rather than explaining everything

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005417

only when a project is already underway

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005418

tapos biglahong magkakaroon ng

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005419

Senate or Congressional investigation

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005420

para pigilan dahil hindi nila naiintindihan?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005421

So,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005422

can PRA

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005423

institutionalize

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005424

briefings to the relevant committees

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005425

of both houses, not for

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005426

approval, but for information,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005427

transparency, and

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005428

early identification of

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005429

any policy or legislative

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005430

issue that Congress itself,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005431

may need to address?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005432

Yes po, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005433

Nakahanda po ang

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005434

aming ahensya na

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005435

kung magkakaroon ng

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005436

pag-uusap, ay handa po

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005437

kaming makipagtulungan,

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005438

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005439

Napakababa po kasi ng FDIs natin ngayon,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005440

Foreign Direct Investment.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005441

So, ang nais ko lang pong

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005442

i-harp on is

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005443

it is important

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005444

for investors to have certainty

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005445

and time. Aside,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005446

from briefing Congress,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005447

meron po bang ang PRA

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005448

na clear target processing time

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005449

from submission of an application

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005450

up to final government action.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005451

Parang one-stop shop po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005452

Para kung may investors tayo,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005453

malaman nila

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005461

Where exactly are the, ano po ba ang bottlenecks sa ngayon?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005462

What can government do to shorten them without weakening environmental and other safeguards?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005463

So, kung baga parang nasa inyo na po yung one-stop shop,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005464

kayo na rin po ang magpo-process, hindi na po paiba-iba ang polisiya.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005465

Your Honor, kasi po, nauna po kasi nilang puntahan ang ahensya ng DNR.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005466

So, depende po sa DNR kung nakapag-comply po yung nag...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005467

So, have we identified po right now, for example, kung meron po papasok sa inyo,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005468

have we identified the bottlenecks? Kung saan po, ano pong departamento ang talagang nagkakaroon tayo ng problema?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005469

Para, ang nais ko lang naman po malaman is saan po makakatulong ang Kongreso sa inyo

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005470

in terms of policy action or law para po mapadali ang trabaho ng PRA.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005471

So, yung po ay nire-required po sa amin ng OP, Office of the President to streamline PRA permitting process, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005476

So yun lang po. So baka po, we can come up with a report kung saan po nakalagay yung...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005477

or ma-identify po natin kung saan ang pinaka-bottlenecks.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005478

Para, pagka meron po tayong investor, alam na po natin kung anong kailangan i-address.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005479

At alam po ng Kongreso kung paano namin kayo matutulungan.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005480

Ano pong pwede natin gawin na batas para mapadali pa ang buhay ninyo

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005481

at mapadali ang buhay ng mga investor pag pumapasok sila dito.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005482

Yes po, Your Honor. Noted po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005483

Madam Chair, PRA's almost P210 billion in assets and P5 billion net income in 2025.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005484

Considering that, what exactly is the national government supporting in PRA under the budget?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005485

And why should that expense be borne by taxpayers instead of PRA's internally generated revenues?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005488

Your Honor, ang PRA po ay self-liquidating.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005489

So wala po kaming hawak na pera, funding for infrastructure.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005490

So wala po kayong kailangan na budgetary support from the government, the national government?

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005491

Meron naman po.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005492

Pero except for this project po, Your Honor, wala po kaming pan para maituloy at matapos ang proyekto.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005493

Kasi kung makikita niyo po, napakalaki po at napakaganda ng proyektong sinasabit namin.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005494

So yun na lang po. I just wanted to manifest also that ang projects po ng PRA napakaganda.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005495

Kung meron pong suporta na kailangan gawin ang gobyerno para upang mapadali ang pag-implement ng projects ng PRA,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005496

I fully support kung ano pong kailangan ng PRA for their projects. Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Josefina B. Tallado

asr-005497

Maraming salamat po, Your Honor.

Madam Speaker, distinguished members of the House of Representatives, ladies and gentlemen, I rise to sponsor the proposed budget of the Department of Migrant Workers, including its attached agency the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration or OWWA, for fiscal year 2027,

amounting to an expenditure of 10.68 billion. Since its establishment in 2022, the DMW has stayed true to its mandate to protect the rights, preserve the dignity, and promote the welfare of more than 2.2 million overseas Filipino workers across the globe. They serve as a tahanan for our OFWs, whose remittances reached

asr-005527

a record of US$35.63 billion in 2025, accounting for 8% of our national GDP. The DMW commitment to our OFWs manifests through its key programs and welfare initiatives, such as legal, medical, and other assistance through the Aksyon Fund, repatriation assistance through the OWWA Emergency Repatriation Fund,

specialized medical care through the OFW Hospital, national reintegration services, anti-illegal recruitment and anti-trafficking operations, and maritime research and skills services, among many others. Knowing the significant economic contributions of OFWs and this government's obligation to protect their rights and welfare along the global volatility and evolving geopolitical

realities they are facing, it is imperative for this Congress to equip the DMW with the capacity to deliver its call to provide agile and responsive service befitting the hard work and sacrifice of each OFW and their families. And so, Madam Speaker, we solicit your kind support for the swift approval of the budget of the DMW and attached agency for fiscal year 2027.

Madam Speaker, on the OWWA emergency repatriation fund cut during active regional conflict. Madam Speaker, the OWWA emergency repatriation fund or ERF in the fiscal year 2027 NEP is reduced

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005532

from 1.2 billion to 900 million, a decrease of about 308 million. In fiscal year 2026, OWWA reportedly utilized 1.7 billion for repatriation amid the ongoing Middle East conflict, including 1.2 billion GAA allocation and a 700 million supplementary release, serving more than 139,000 distressed OFWs.

asr-005716

asr-005717

to 20,000

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005718

per returning worker

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005719

with 51,000

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005720

beneficiaries

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005721

targeted. This will require

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005722

approximately 1.02

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005723

billion in livelihood

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005724

assistance with

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005725

only 309

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005726

million proposed under

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005727

the 2027.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005728

Remember, 1.2 billion to

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005729

309 million lang

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005730

for 2027 allocation.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005731

How many returning of

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005732

OFW can receive the 20,000

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005733

assistance at the proposed

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005734

funding level kung

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005735

309 million lang

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005736

proposed under 2027?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005737

So, there's a big

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005738

disparity from 1 billion to

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-005739

300 million.

300 million as well

asr-005747

to

Rep. Roberto Nazal

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

I already raised the emergency

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005800

repatriation fund tulad po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005801

nang nirais ng aking

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005802

nakatapos lang na napakapoging

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005803

colleague.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005804

During the pre-plenary

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005805

deliberations. So, I will

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005806

no longer repeat my questions.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005807

I only reiterate

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005808

that the ERF

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005809

must be increased and protected.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005810

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005811

the conflict has not ended and government

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005812

must always have sufficient funds

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005813

ready because

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005814

we cannot predict when another

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005815

evacuation or mass repatriation

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005816

will become

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005817

necessary.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005818

Madam Speaker, even

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005819

when there is no major crisis,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005820

the ERF is still used

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005821

for regular repatriation,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005822

airfare,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005823

and onward

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005824

domestic transportation, medical

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005825

and psychosocial assistance,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005826

and other services for distressed

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005827

OFWs.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005828

A contingency fund

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005829

should not be reduced simply

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005830

because the worst emergency

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005831

did not occur during a particular

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005832

year. We should not

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005833

wait for a crisis before looking for money.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005834

So, I will go

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005835

to my first question,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005836

Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005837

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

Rep. Roberto Nazal

already the absolute minimum for

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

That will be,

that's certainly the hope.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005860

Sana ipaglaban natin,

Ang compensation adjustment for job order personnel, kasama na rin po yan para po mas maayos na ang compensation natin para sa ating mga JO.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005893

At ang establishment po ng Negros Island Regional Welfare Office.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005894

Madam Speaker, may I further ask our distinguished colleague to confirm whether an audit observation memorandum was issued

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005895

concerning the proper compensation of OWASP job order personnel.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005896

How much is required to comply with the AOM?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005897

What adjustment is due?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005898

And how many workers are covered?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005899

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, currently there is an AOM and currently din po 2023 rates pa ang binibigay natin para sa ating mga JO

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005900

and hopefully by 2027 updated na po ang mga rates na binibigay natin.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005901

What is needed po to update the rates?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005902

Yes, the additional funding po. That's what, that's really the clencher.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005903

So we cannot, we cannot update the rates until the additional funding is given?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005904

Yes, ma'am.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005905

Madam Speaker, through you, may I ask our distinguished colleague, of the 433.8 million for Alagang OWA,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005908

Of the five OFW global centers will actually open or become operational in 2027.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005909

What is the minimum amount and beneficiary target for each facility program?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005910

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague,

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005911

for existing local hires,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005943

legal retainers and medical

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005944

and health retainers?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005945

Which overseas

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

posts will remain without legal

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

or medical retainer coverage

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

if the full amount is not approved?

Source

Madam Speaker,

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005950

distinguished colleague,

Rep. Roberto Nazal

And currently,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005963

hindi po natin makahire sila?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005964

And currently po, meron na rin po tayong

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005965

medical retainers po.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005966

In Dubai, and

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005967

meron na rin po ang agreements with Jordan

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005969

Can you explain, Madam Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005970

ano po yung pinakatrabaho

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005971

nung medical retainers

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005972

natin, and yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005973

medical and health retainers and yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005974

legal retainers?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005975

Ano po ang nagiging,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005976

ano po ang benepisyo nito

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005977

na meron tayo nyan para sa ating

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005978

mga OFW?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005979

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005980

Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005981

ang arrangement po,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005982

bali, para po silang mga

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005983

legal retainers din po na

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005984

para mabigyan po kaagad

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005985

ng medical services

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005986

ang ating mga nangangailangan na OFWs.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005987

Yun po ang

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005988

purpose nila.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005989

Para po, we can immediately

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005990

refer ang mga

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005991

cases, medical cases,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005992

the reason to do this.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005993

So without them, in certain

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005994

areas po na hindi,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005995

halimbawa, hindi po natin mapupondohan yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005996

pagdagdag, ano po ang nawawala

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005997

sa ating mga OFW

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005998

na servisyo?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-005999

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006000

unfortunately po, this will cause

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006001

delays po para sa pagbigay

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006002

ng medical

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006003

service para po sa ating mga

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006004

OFWs dahil hindi po agad

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006005

mariresolbahan or hindi po tayo

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006006

makakapag-refer ng mga

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006007

medical cases po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006008

Medical and legal?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006009

Yes. So, in terms of legal retainer,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006010

for example, meron po silang

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006011

naging kaso, nagkaroon ng wrongful

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006012

na pag-aresto.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006013

Pwede pong, kung wala po tayong

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006014

legal retainer, pwede pong

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006015

makulong sila, ma-detain

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006016

or whatever, tapos hindi po tayo

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006017

nakakapag-respondi kagad

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006018

ang ating gobyerno.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006019

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006020

Yes po, kasi kung may absence

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006027

Rep. Roberto Nazal

ng legal and

Rep. Roberto Nazal

medical and health retainers?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006034

So, I'd just like to clarify also,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006035

this fund is supposed to cover

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006036

the hiring for support

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006037

for the support of the agency

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006038

to our OFWs in other countries.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006039

Yes.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006040

So, ano po ang

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006041

ngayon?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006042

Ano pong mga bansa

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006043

ang hindi natin mako-cover?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006044

Yes, ma'am.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006045

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006046

distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006047

gaya po nang nasabi kanina,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006048

yung priority po

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006049

ng mga medical retainers,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006050

yung kanina po

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006051

nang nasabi. Currently,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006052

DMW only has

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006053

medical retainers in Dubai,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006054

Jordan, and Qatar.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006055

And same din po in the legal side,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006056

syempre, gusto po natin madagdagan

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006057

rin po ang ating legal retainers

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006058

para po mas ma-report,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

servisyon pa po ang ating mga

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006060

OFWs.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006061

So, marami pong bansa na hindi

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006062

natin mako-cover. And what is the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006063

needed amount to cover of everything?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006064

Madam Speaker, Distinguished

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006065

Colleague, total po ng

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006066

We have currently po

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006067

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006068

32 legal retainers and

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006069

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

11 pa po

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006072

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006073

43 posts na kailangan pa

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006074

na legal retainers.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006075

So, Madam Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006076

Madam Speaker, I would just like to emphasize

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006077

the importance na makover po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006078

ng DMW ang kanilang personnel

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006079

support for

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006080

all our OFWs

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006081

OFWs in different countries.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006082

The

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006083

contribution of OFWs

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006084

to our GDP

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006085

is massive.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006086

Napakalaki po ng contribution nila.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006087

So, dapat po para sa akin, hindi po dapat tinitipid

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006088

ang

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006089

kailangan na suporta para sa

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006090

mga OFWs.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006091

So, my next question, Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006092

through our Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006093

for the 447.99

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006094

for Capital Outlay Request,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006095

are the sites, plans,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006096

specifications, procurement documents

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006097

and implementation schedules

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006098

for the ROW 2 and 5

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006099

facilities,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006100

ICT modernization,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006101

motor vehicles, OWA data center

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006102

and software already complete?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006103

What is the minimum

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006104

non-deferable amount?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006105

And can these projects be

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006106

substantially implemented

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006107

within fiscal year 2027?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006108

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006109

meron na po tayong plans.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006110

At meron na rin po tayong lupa

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006111

specifically for Region 5.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006112

Currently, kailangan na lang din po

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006113

talaga ng funding. Yun po ang

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006114

hinihintay po, actually.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006115

And approved plans na po ito.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006116

So, ready for implementation?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006117

May implement na po ito?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006118

Within this year or before 2027?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006119

Or within 2027?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006120

Yes, for 2027 po,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006121

as long as mapondohan po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006122

Pero wala pang pondo.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006123

So, hindi may implement.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006124

Hindi pa po.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006125

Hindi pa nagsisimula.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006126

So, Madam Sponsor,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006127

alam mo na, marami ka trabaho.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006128

But I am here to assist you

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006129

para sa DMW,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006130

para po sa ating mga

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006131

OFWs.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006132

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006133

Congress created the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006134

Congressional Migrant Workers Scholarship

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006135

Program in 1995.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006136

Yet only 23.7

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006137

million remains

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006138

from its original 200 million seed fund.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006139

Through you, may I ask

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006140

our distinguished colleague

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006141

to confirm with OWA

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006142

that the requested 60 million

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006143

will support 1,000 new scholars

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006144

beginning academic year

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006145

2027 and 2028.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006146

Why should Congress allow

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006147

a program it created to run out of funds?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006148

And should there now be a regular

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006149

annual replenishment?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006150

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006151

ang last po na,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006152

last time na napondohan po

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006153

ang ating Congressional

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006154

Migrant Workers Scholarship Program

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006155

ay 31 years ago pa po.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006156

Kaya naman po,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006157

if,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006158

given the chance

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006159

to replenish this

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006160

60 million pesos po,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006161

I would cater 1,000 new scholars

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006162

in the academic year

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006163

of 2027 to 2028.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006164

May our distinguished sponsor

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006165

explain

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006166

kung ano po ang

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006167

background nitong scholarship program nito?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006168

Why was this created?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006169

Sino po ang tinutulungan nito?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006170

Tinutulungan po ito,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006171

ah,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006172

tinutulungan po nito

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006173

ang mga anak po

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006174

ng mga OFWs.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006175

Yun po ang...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006176

Mga anak ng OFWs na...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006177

How do they qualify?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006205

Ang mga requirements po ay dapat nasa science and tech

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006244

course po sila,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006245

Yun po ang inaaral nila.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006246

At,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006247

kailangan rin po silang makapasa ng

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006248

qualification test

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006249

done by the DOSD

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006250

and after all the assessment

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006251

at kumpamasa po sila,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006252

mabibigyan po sila ng

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006253

60,000 pesos

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006254

per year.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006255

60,000 pesos

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006256

na scholarship po per year.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006257

So, these are for children of OFWs

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006258

who are abroad or who are here?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006259

Who are here po,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006260

nasa Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006261

So, yun po ang mga OFW

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006262

or mga anak po ng mga OFW

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006263

na naiwan po dito sa Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006264

Nawala na po magulang?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006265

Solo parent ba?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006266

Pwede rin po.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006267

Solo parent po or not.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006268

So, this is a very good program

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006269

kasi umalis po yung magulang

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006270

tapos nagtatrabaho.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006271

So, parang supporta po para sa mga anak nila.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006272

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006273

And yet, hindi po natin ito napopondohan.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006274

And now, the DMW and the OWA

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006275

is reviving this program.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006276

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006277

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006278

So, Madam Sponsor, meron ka trabaho.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006279

We understand.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006280

We have to support this program.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006281

This is a very good program.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006282

And this should be funded annually.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006283

We agree with our distinguished colleague

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006284

at PAHAM.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006285

And salamat po sa supporta.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006286

Madam Speaker, I also wish to help the DMW

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006287

establish the record needed

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006288

for its separate priority requests.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006289

I will focus on the unmet need,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006290

implementation readiness, and safeguards.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006291

So, Madam Speaker, through you,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006292

may I ask our distinguished colleague

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006293

to explain what specific funding gap

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006294

the additional 1 billion for the Action Fund

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006295

will cover,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006296

how many OFWs will be assisted

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006297

under each type of assistance,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006298

and what is the target for the action fund.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006299

And what is the target processing and release time?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006300

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006301

the additional 1 billion pesos po for the Action Fund

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006302

would benefit about 20,000 OFWs at the minimum

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006303

from various services, legal, financial, or medical.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006304

At ang target po ng disbursement ng mga assistance po

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006305

ay 30 days, although depende rin po yan

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006306

sa availability ng funds.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006307

But the department is committed to delivering

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006308

the disbursement within 30 days po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006309

Ano-ano po ang klase ang assistance?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006310

Legal, financial, or medical po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006311

And ang target processing time from application

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006312

is 30 days.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006313

30 days po ang target.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006314

Okay, Madam Speaker, through you,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006315

may I also ask our Distinguished Colleague

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006316

to state, ano po ba ang corrective measures

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006317

that have already been implemented,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006318

not merely proposed,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006319

to address COAS findings on doubtful claims,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006320

ineligible beneficiaries, incomplete documents,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006321

and the absence of uniform classifications for illnesses.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006322

Injuries and mental health cases.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006323

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006324

Action Fund Information System is a COA recommendation

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006325

which is now being implemented.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006326

And magdadagdag rin po ng mga amendments

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006327

to the existing guidelines,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006328

as well as in compliance with the COA recommendations.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006329

Yun po ang ginagawa po ng BMW ngayon.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006330

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006331

Do you already have a system in place?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006332

Yes, it's currently implemented.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006333

And this is what?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006334

This is digital?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006335

Digitalized na po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006336

Are we using AI?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006337

Yes, it's a digitalized system po.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006338

And AI would be a good tool po.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006339

To add safeguards and help with the verification po

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006340

of these double claims.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006341

So mayroon na po tayong clearance from COA?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006342

Or we are already addressing that?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006343

Yes, it's implemented na po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006344

Okay.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006345

Thank you for that, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006346

May I ask, the DMW also is requesting

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006347

60 million for OFW Servicio Ban, Caravan,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006348

60 million for International Labor Affairs,

For each component,

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006353

what exact 2027 output will be delivered?

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006354

How many OFWs will benefit?

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006355

And which items are already procurement ready

Rep. Roberto Nazal

Lahat Distinguished colleague, Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006371

Thank you for that, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006372

Madam Sponsor, DMW's verification fees, fee revenues are already authorized under a special account.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006373

For fiscal year 2026, Congress has already provided the authority in the GAA. No new congressional action is needed for each release.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006374

What is required is for DMW to submit the proper budget request and for DBM to act on it.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006375

So, Madam Speaker, may I ask our Distinguished Colleague, how much did DMW request from DBM for the verification fee fund for fiscal year 2026?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006376

How much was actually released and how much remains pending or unreleased?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006377

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, para po sa verification fee fund,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006378

na bigyan po ang DMW ng P777 million.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006379

Para po sa P777 million, ang requested po sana nila ay P826 million.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006380

At as far as the utilization po, 100% utilized na po ang verification fee fund and that's around P580 million po for P2026.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006381

Kunti na lang pala po, Madam Sponsor, from the request to what was actually given.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006382

Was there any reason why they did not give what was actually requested?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006383

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, unfortunately, meron pong mga ceiling din na set by DBM.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006384

Ceiling?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006385

But if you are doing, actually, wala dapat ceiling kung 100% utilized.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006386

You were able to utilize 100%, correct?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006387

And these are earmarked funds specifically intended for this use.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006388

So kung ito po ay na-utilize natin at 100%, there is no reason for DBM not to give you the requested amount.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006389

Actually, kung na-utilize po siya bago matapos yung fiscal year,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006390

pwede, ang alam ko, pwede po kayo mag-request ulit.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006391

And dapat ibigay po nila yun kasi yung earmarked funds are intended for you.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006392

Yes po. Kaya po, tumaas rin po ng P777 million po from P580 million po last year.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006393

For 2027, P777 million naman po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006394

But are you aware, Madam Sponsor, that the DMW, once na-utilize,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006395

you may request again?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006396

Kailan po nyo na-utilize at 100%?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006397

As of July, or sorry, August 2026 po, utilized na po.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006398

100% utilized na po.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006399

And currently, yung ginagamit na lang po ay yung general fund, the P380 million.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006400

Magkano pa po ang remaining sa earmarked funds ninyo?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006401

100% utilized na po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006402

No, no, no. I mean, on the fund itself.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006403

Hindi yung nagamit nyo at saka yung binigay.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006404

Yung account.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006405

Nung earmarked funds yun.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006423

Parang as of 2025, tama po ba? Ang ending balance was 5.6 billion?

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-006424

With the indulgence of our distinguished colleague and our sponsor, please wrap up.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006425

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, currently po ang balance sa Treasury ay 4.36 billion po para po sa verification fee.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006426

So yan po ang sinasabi natin, yung pera po under verification fees is sa inyo po yan.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006427

And if naubos nyo na by July, yung 100%, ang sabi po ng DBM, pwede po kayo mag-request ulit.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006428

So you still have 4.6 billion, pwede po kayo mag-request ulit para lang magamit para sa ating mga OFWs.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006429

So in closing, Madam Speaker, our questions are intended to establish the basis for supporting these requests,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006430

not to deprive the DMW and OWA of the resources they need.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006431

Madam Speaker, CPBRD's figures show that DMW and OWA substantially improved their obligation and disbursement

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006432

performance in 2025. The remaining audit and implementation issues are being addressed

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006433

through stronger controls and accountability. Madam Speaker, subject to the specific outputs,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006434

implementation schedules, safeguards, and quarterly reporting commitments placed on record,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006435

I manifest my support for OWA's revised 2 billion request and DMW's separate 2 billion priority package.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006436

Madam Speaker, these are not luxuries.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006437

They are needed for emergency repatriation, welfare and legal assistance, lawyers and doctors reintegration,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006438

the OFW hospital, safer offices, frontline overseas operations, seafarer and airport facilities,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006439

skills upgrading, and scholarships for OFW children.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006440

So Madam Speaker, I respectfully urge the favorable consideration of these priority requests

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006441

with the assurance that every peso must be translated.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006442

into actual service for OFWs and their families.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-006443

Maraming salamat po.

Madam Speaker, I move to recognize the Honorable Sarah Jane Elago to interpolate the sponsor.

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-006446

The Honorable Sarah Jane Elago of Gabriela Women's Party List is hereby recognized for her interpolation.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006447

Maraming salamat Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006448

I'd like to start with the introduction.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006449

Increase of minimum wages for Filipino domestic helpers.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006450

In August 2025, Madam Speaker, the DMW issued Advisory No. 25, Series of 2025,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006451

increasing the minimum wage for migrant domestic helpers from 400 U.S. dollars to 500 U.S. dollars.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006452

Aside from incorporating the new minimum wage into the employment contracts processed by the DMW,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006453

the advisory also directed migrant workers' offices to engage with host governments and foreign recruitment agencies

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006454

to ensure that the new minimum wage is implemented in their respective countries.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006455

Aside from incorporating the increased minimum wage into the employment contracts processed by the DMW,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006456

may we know from the distinguished sponsor, how does the DMW ensure that migrant workers are actually paid,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006457

at least the minimum monthly wage mandated under Advisory No. 25?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006458

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006459

lahat po ng mga kontrata ay rinireview at meron din po tayo mga labor attaches on ground para po i-address po itong mga concerns ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006460

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006461

At kung meron po tayong active monitoring, listahan ng mga kaso at ang status nito, ay hihingin din po ng ating representasyon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006462

Ngayon naman, Madam Speaker, sa iba pong mahalaga din na concern,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006463

ang pagdademand ng child support from an OFW parent.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006464

The Philippines has been a party to the Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006465

Madam Speaker, while the central authority of the Philippines for this particular convention is the Department of Social Welfare and Development,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006466

may we know what the role of the DMW is in implementing this obligation?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006467

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006468

every time po meron claims for child support para po sa ating mga OFWs.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006469

CMW po, sinusummon po ang ating OFW at we direct them to our legal attachés or our labor attachés para po magampanan nila yung kailangan nilang ibigay na child support.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006470

Madam Speaker, what particular item in the budget is used for this assistance for those demanding child or spousal support from an OFW parent?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006471

Distinguished Colleague, ito po ay nagagaling sa Labor Attachés Welfare Services Fund. Yun po nagagaling ang pondo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006472

Maraming salamat po. Paano naman po yung mga lugar na wala pong Migrant Workers Office? What about those jurisdictions?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006473

How do you coordinate with the Department of Foreign Affairs and other relevant agencies to help?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006474

With this matter.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006475

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, we work closely po with DFA at ang ating mga embassies sa mga lugar na wala po tayong mga MWOs with their assistance to nationals units.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006476

Maraming salamat Madam Speaker. At nasilip din po natin sa DFA na mababa yung utilization.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006477

Nang assistance to nationals.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006478

Samantalang sa amin din pong mga lumalapit sa ating office, marami din pong mga nangangailangan pa sana ng mga assistance.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006479

Kaya po sana po, bukod dun sa close coordination, yung pondo na nandyan na at nakalaan para sa ganitong tipo ng mga assistance ay magamit natin para makatulong.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006480

Now Madam Chair, under the Expanded Solo Parent Act, the spouse, family member, or guardian of the child of an OFW,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006481

who falls under low or semi-skilled worker category, is considered a solo parent.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006482

In supporting our migrant workers, does the DMW have programs that also assist solo parents?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006483

Paari po ba natin malaman kung ano yung mga espesipiko na programa na ito?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006484

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006485

currently the department addresses these cases.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006486

Through a combination of family support, livelihood, employment, and referral services.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006487

And under Kalinga, solo parents and primary caregivers may access psychosocial and family-oriented interventions.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006488

Under Kabuhayan, they may be matched with livelihood or employment pathways suited to their caregiving responsibilities.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006489

Where additional social services are needed,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006490

Kaagapay and the National Reintegration,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006491

allow DMW to refer the solo parent to appropriate partner agencies.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006492

So far, 78 beneficiaries po na bigyan sa 2025 at 326 beneficiaries po sa 2026.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006493

Yan po ang mga programa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006494

Ang nabanggit ng mga programa, Madam Speaker, malaki din po yung hiningi ng DMW, ng OWA para sa mga ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006495

Ngunit, hindi pa rin po sapat talaga dun sa laki ng pangangailangan,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006496

yung lalaan na pondo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006497

Kaya, kung may pagkakataon na taasan yung pondo ng mga proyekto na ito,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006498

ay susuportahan ng ating representasyon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006499

Ngayon naman po, nabanggit din po kanina ng mga nauna sa atin,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006500

yung tungkol sa halaga ng ating mga reintegration programs.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006501

May we know from the distinguished sponsor,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006502

what the particular programs are of DMW and OWA,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006503

specifically intended for older migrant workers.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006504

We have programs that specifically address a retirement and other post-employment support.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006506

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006507

for older returnees, DMW combines financial literacy, livelihood support, skills transition, mentoring,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006508

employment,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006509

facilitation, and social protection referrals,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006510

depending on the worker's capacity and plans.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006511

The programs under Kaalaman can help the OFW acquire or adapt skills,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006512

while Kabuhayan offers livelihood and entrepreneurship pathways.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006513

FAS-SBMT, or Financial Awareness and Small Business Mentoring Training,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006514

is also relevant for older returnees who wish to manage

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006515

savings or transition into small enterprise.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006516

And so far, it's served 4,100 beneficiaries in 2024.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006517

In 2025, 11,138 beneficiaries.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006518

And so far, from January to August of 2026, 7,309 beneficiaries po ito.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006519

At sa OWA naman po,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006520

ito po.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006521

At sa OWA naman po,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006522

ang mga reintegration services rin naman nila,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006523

nakapag-natulungan po ang 410,591 families in 2025.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006524

OFWs and their families po.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006525

So kasama po dyan ang Family Development Support Program,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006526

Capacity Building for LG Europe Peso,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006527

Enhanced EDT and Demo Farm Visitation,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006528

iba-iba po ang mga programa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006529

Now, Madam Speaker, kung meron po ang ating DMW at OWA

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006530

ng detalye batay sa edad, sa kapasidad,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006531

sa profesyon,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006532

ay mainam po ito para makatulong po sa ating mga tinatalakay ngayon

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006533

ng mga panukalang batas.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006534

Yung isa dyan ay yung pagpapalakas ng mga reintegration program.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006535

Pero meron po dyan isang probesyon na,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006536

hindi pa naisama, na sa tingin ko po ay isa sa mga panawagan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006537

ng ating mga bumalik na mga OFWs.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006538

May we know, Madam Speaker, what the positions of DMW and OWA are

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006539

on establishing a retirement fund for OFWs

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006540

who are no longer able to work

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006541

or have reached a certain age at which they can no longer perform their jobs?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006542

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006543

currently po ang DMW nagpapartner po with SSS

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006544

para po makapag-establish ang mga pension funds

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006545

para po sa ating mga retiring OFWs.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006546

And at the same time,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006547

they are also helping develop legislation

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006548

para po may sa batas na ang ating retirement funds for our OFWs.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006549

Ito ay sinusuportahan ng buong-buo ng DMW at OWA, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006550

Yes.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006551

At ngayon naman, Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006552

napakahalaga rin po nito sa atin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006553

ang mabalitaan tayo tungkol sa implementation

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006554

ng Magna Carta for seafarers.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006555

Yes.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006556

Has DMW started implementing the Magna Carta?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006557

If yes, what has DMW changed in its policies and regulations

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006558

because of this Magna Carta?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006559

May we also know what the challenges are

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006560

in terms of the implementation of this Magna Carta,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006561

especially now that we're in the first year of its implementation?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006562

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006563

Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006564

so far po ang DMW nag-issue po ng sea-based

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006565

or nag-update po ng pag-issue ng sea-based rules

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006566

at na-standardize yun po ang mga kontrata

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006567

ng ating mga seafarers at the same time,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006568

ang fisher folks po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006569

Nag-update, ibig sabihin po,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006570

ongoing yung ating shipping?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006571

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006572

Issued last June po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006573

It was issued June this year?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006574

Yes.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006575

Alright.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006576

And has already been issued.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006577

Alright.

kung kumusta na ang ating Magna Carta.

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006581

We will provide the report.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006582

Yes.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006583

Nais ko lang din pong maibahagi sa ating kapulungan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006584

Naging vocal din po ang aming representation

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006585

mula sa Gabriela Women's Party.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006586

Tungkol sa provision ng Magna Carta na ito,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006587

kung saan po yung monetary reward

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006588

of the seafarers are put in escrow

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006589

pending the finality of judgment

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006590

which can take years.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006591

So, that particular provision,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006592

sa tingin po natin,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006593

dapat ding ma-review ng kapulungan na ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006594

At makakatulong po yung inyong implementation so far

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006595

para makita ba natin kung dapat po itong tanggalin,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006596

dito sa batas na ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006597

Ngayon naman, Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006598

tungkol po sa naiulat na blacklisting

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006599

ng mga seafarers

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006600

kapag sila po ay nag-a-avail ng kanilang right to refuse sailing.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006601

Nakarating po sa ating office na kapag sila daw po,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006602

dalawang bagay, no.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006603

Una, may mga pagkakataon daw po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006604

na hindi nila ma-exercise itong kanilang karapatan,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006605

ng kanilang right to refuse sailing.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006606

Dahil pag majority daw po ng mga seafarer

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006607

ay bumoto na tumuloy pa rin,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006608

ay tumutuloy pa rin sila

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006609

na hindi po nasasangalang yung kanilang karapatan na tumanggi.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006610

Ngayon, yung pangalawa naman po,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006611

ay kapag sila ay nag-a-avail,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006612

nag-exercise po ng kanilang right to refuse sailing,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006613

pagbalik po nila dito sa Pilipinas at aalis na,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006614

ay nalalaman po nila na sila ay blacklisted na.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006615

Meron pong,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006616

statement ang DMW tungkol dito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006617

at wini-welcome naman po ng ating representation.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006618

The DMW called for Filipino seafarers

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006619

who refuse to sail to high-risk areas

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006620

not to be discriminated against in future employment.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006621

They must also receive proper compensation

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006622

and free repatriation to the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006623

May we know po what the DMW has done so far.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006624

To ensure that the Filipinos won't be discriminated against

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006625

when they exercise their right to refuse sailing.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006626

Especially po in high-risk areas now.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006627

Thank you.

asr-006630

So for the manning agencies na meron pong mga violations,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006631

DMW would subject them to an investigation

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006632

and also subject them to violation fees.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006633

pag meron ba silang violation,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006636

Bawal na po silang pag-operate?

Masasara po ba?

Madam Speaker,

asr-006640

Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006641

Pwede po masuspend ang manning agency

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006642

at kung paulit-ulit po

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006643

or patuloy pa rin po ang violation,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006644

pwede pong makancel po ang kanilang lisensya.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006645

Madam Speaker,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006646

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006654

ito po ay base sa

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

sea-based rules po na

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006656

in-issue natin noong

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006657

June 2026 lang po.

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006659

1,300 po

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006660

Filipino seafarers

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

refused to sail

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006662

or traverse.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006663

Ito po ang so far.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006664

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006665

Bukod po sa ganyang information,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006666

nahihingin din po natin sa ating

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006667

mga departamento, nandito rin po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006668

yung ulat na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006669

yung karapatan po ng mga seafarer

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006670

na malaman kung saan po yung

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006671

ruta na dadaanan ng kanilang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006672

mga vessels. Marami daw po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006673

hindi binibigay sa kanilang information

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006674

till nakasakay na sila.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006675

In fact po, nakatanggap din po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006676

tayo na balita na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006677

yung

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006678

masakit po sa loob na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006679

namatay, nasi-farers

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006680

na taga Calamba, Laguna,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006681

hindi po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006682

kung nila alam ang ruta ng barko, nasa war zones, nasa high-risk areas po pala dadaan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006683

So yung ganito pong karapatan ng ating mga seafarer,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006684

dapat matiyak po natin na masasakatuparan at hindi pangarap lamang para sa ating mga seafarers.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006685

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006686

kung meron pong violations or kung meron pong mga sitwasyon na hindi po alam ng ating seafarer kung totoong ruta,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006687

ng kanilang pupuntuhan, pwede pong isubject po ng DMW into investigation, again, ang violators po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006688

Ngayon, Madam Speaker, narinig po natin yung mga nag-exercise ng kanilang right to refuse sailing.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006689

Pwede niyo po ba kami i-update kung sa ngayon po, yung mga seafarers na gustong makauwi, ay nakauwi na po ba?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006690

Ilang request po yung inyong natanggap?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006691

Tapos po, yung bilang din po ng mga seafarers na nakauwi na,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006692

ingin po sana ng representation na ito yung breakdown.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006693

Pagkatapos po ng ating deliberation, ay yung hapon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006694

Yes, we will oblige.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006695

Maraming maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006696

At muli, ang representation po na ito ay sumusuporta sa pagdadagdag ng pondo para sa Action Fund.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006697

Noway yung mga hindi pa po nakakakuha.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006698

Ang kanilang mga Action Fund ay makakuha na.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006699

Alam ko po, hindi madali ang sitwasyon, hindi lang dito sa bansa, kundi sa pandaig dito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006700

Kaya nga, kinakailangan at maasam po natin, habang tinataasan yung suporta para sa mga migrant workers,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006701

dapat higit natin tinataasan yung suporta para sa disenting trabaho dito sa Pilipinas,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006702

nakabubuhay na sahod para sa ating mga manggagawang Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006703

Maraming maraming salamat, Madam Speaker. Maraming salamat sa ating distinguished sponsor.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006709

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006710

I have a few questions on the mass deportations.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006711

of Filipinos in the United States.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006712

Madam Speaker, distinguished sponsor, my office has received reports

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006713

ng ating mga Filipino seafarers na under sa Magsaysay Maritime Corporation

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006714

at nagtatrabaho sa Princess Cruises Limited ay sinearch ng walang warrant.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006715

Kinukuha ang kanilang mga gamit gaya ng cellphone

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006716

at inaakusahan ng krimen ng walang due process at ebidensya.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006717

Sa parehong linggo, sila ay dinedeport, pabalik sa Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006718

Paulit-ulit na nangyayari ito bilang bahagi ng operational tidal wave ng Trump government sa US.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006719

Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor, what is the DMW's response to the mass deportations of Filipino seafarers

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006720

in the United States under operational tidal wave?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006721

Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, habang rinerespeto po ng DMW ang sovereignty at mga batas ng ibang bansa,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006722

nananatiling pong committed ang ating Philippine government para protektahan ang mga karapatan,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006723

ang welfare and due process ng ating mga Filipino seafarers.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006724

Lalong-lalo na po sa mga ganitong sitwasyon.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006725

We must also distinguish among an allegation, an immigration action, and a criminal filing.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006726

The department will not prejudge the cases of our returning seafarers,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006727

particularly when no criminal charge or conviction has been established.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006728

The DMW's responsibility is to ensure that affected workers receive appropriate assistance,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006729

that their cases are properly documented,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006730

and that the necessary coordination is undertaken with the relevant Philippine and foreign authorities,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006731

consistent with the applicable laws and procedures.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006732

We have also consulted the licensed manning agencies and their deported seafarers and provided them with assistance.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006733

Maraming salamat po dito.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006734

Paano po kaya nakikipag-ugnayan ang DMW sa Philippine Embassy sa US

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006735

para matiyak na may legal aid ang ating mga kababayan?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006736

Patuloy po ang pakikipag-ugnayan ng DMW with the Department of Foreign Affairs

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006737

sa ating mga migrant workers offices at sa mga kaukulang US authorities

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006738

upang mas maunawaan ang mga pangyayari at circumstances surrounding the removals.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006739

Tinitiyak din po natin na ang mga affected seafarers ay,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006740

maayos na nare-refer para sa kinakailangan mga welfare, legal, at iba pang mga assistance.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006741

Yun na po, ilan na po yan sa mga assistance at support na kaya pong ibigay ng DMW.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006742

Maraming salamat po Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006743

Nakakalungkot no na we've received reports from some of the seafarers.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006744

Actually, dumaan po sila sa aking opisina kamakailan.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006745

Who were detained before deportation that when they called the Philippine Embassy to the US,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006746

the response was, okay lang yan, makakalaya ka naman, diba?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006747

Does DMW share the same opinion?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006748

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, currently po tinatrabaho po ito ng DMW

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006749

para po ma-make sure, or coordinated with, of course, the Manning Agency

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006750

para po meron pang, merong legal assistance po, supports pa lang.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006751

Yun po ang aksyon na ginagawa ng DMW.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006752

Maraming salamat at naniniwala ako sa DMW na ito'y tutugunan nila.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006753

Nakakalungkot.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006754

Kasi currently, nasa mahigit dalawang daang seafarers na po ang nagkaroon ng ganitong problema.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006755

Yung tinatawag nilang operational tidal wave.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006756

Kamakailan ay naglabas na po sila ng kanilang press release patungkol dito sa nangyari sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006757

Kasi wala po eh, walang nagre-report, hindi po ito lumalabas sa media.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006758

At ang masaklap pa, sasabihan po sila ng ating embahada na nasa US na,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006759

okay lang yan, makakalaya ka naman.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006760

Saklap, di ba?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006761

Umalis ako ng aking bansa, pupunta ako para maging isang seafarer,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006762

malalaman ko na lang na ako'y ipapababa at ako'y ipapadeport,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006763

pero idedetain pa ako at popusasan pa ako ng ilang oras, no?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006764

So, sana po ay matugunan po natin ito sa lalong madaling panahon, Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006765

Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor, magkano po kaya ang na-dispersed na mula sa Action Fund

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006766

para sa mga Pilipinong biktima ng mass deportations na walang due process?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006767

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, so far 222 seafarers have been deported

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006768

and each were given 50,000 pesos in financial assistance under the Action Fund.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006769

So, total po, 11.1 million po ang na-dispersed galing sa Action Fund.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006770

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006771

My office also received reports that there are instances wherein six months since the seafarer has returned to the Philippines,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006772

hindi pa rin narirelease ang Action Fund sa nasabing seafarers.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006773

Madam Sponsor, what is the reason kaya behind this?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006774

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, again, the reasoning behind the delay is because of the Middle East tensions

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006775

and unfortunately po yun ang nag-cause ng delay but right now, DMW is catching up

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006776

and we're committed to going back to the 30-day disbursement po ng assistance for our OFWs.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006777

Just to put into record lang, Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor, can the DMW commit to ensure

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006778

the expedient release of, or hindi lalagpas ng 30 days from today po?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006779

Yes po, makakaasa po kayo.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006780

Maraming salamat po, no?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006781

And finally, can the Distinguished Sponsor explain to us po, ano itong tinatawag nilang Abu Dhabi Dialogue at bakit ito mahalaga?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006782

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, the Abu Dhabi Dialogue was established in 2028

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006783

at ito po ay isang voluntary inter-government consultative forum

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006784

linking Asian countries of labor origin and destination

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006785

and it aims to enable safe, orderly, and regular migration. Currently po, mayroon po siyang 10 member states including the Gulf States po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006786

At magkano po kaya ang nakalaan pondo para dito?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006787

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, currently wala po siyang allotment sa NEP.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006788

That's why nag-manifest po ang DMW ng kanilang request for 60 million pesos po

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006789

to host at least three conferences po para sa Abu Dhabi Dialogue.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006790

60 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006791

And ang Pilipinas ang host po para dito.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006792

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006793

Yes.

Source

Sinusuportahan ng representasyong ito ang paglalaan ng pondo para sa Abu Dhabi Dialogue.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Mahalaga ang pondong ito upang maipagpatuloy ang mga programa para sa pagsasanay,

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006798

proteksyon at mas maayos na kapakanan ng ating mga OFWs at iba pang migrant workers sa Middle East.

And in closing, Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor, thank you for yielding into my questions.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006800

Nais kong muling ipahayag ang aking panawagan noong budget briefing na sa gitna ng umiiral na global conflict,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006801

mas higit nating kailangan ang matatag na DMW at OWA na may sapat na pondo upang matugunan ang pangangailangan ng ating mga overseas Filipino workers.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006802

I therefore manifest...

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006803

I express my strong support for increasing the budget of the DMW and OWA,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006804

particularly with the repatriation program and assistance programs to distressed OFWs,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006805

with the guarantee na masiguro ng DMW ang mabilis, maayos at sapat na tulong sa ating mga kababayang OFWs sa oras ng pangangailangan.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006806

Nakikita natin ang epekto pag nagagawa ng isang ahensya,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006807

ang kanilang mandato, which is evident sa mga nagagawa ng ating DMW Region 9,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006808

gaya ng pagtatayo ng First Regional OFW Airport Lounge outside na IA at First Regional Dedicated OFW Ward na sana ay magawa rin sa iba pang mga regyon.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006809

Naniniwala ako na sa gabay at tinig ng ating distinguished sponsor, this August Chamber will favorably...

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-006810

consider and strengthen the department's budget, particularly for these vital programs.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Ilang katanungan lamang po mula sa kababaihan, kabalikatan para sa kapakanan at kaunlaran ng bayan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006817

Women consistently account for the majority of newly deployed land-based overseas Filipino workers,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006818

predominantly in domestic care work, a sector inherently prone to isolation, abuse, and labor exploitation.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006819

Under the proposed 2027 budget,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006820

how much of the agarang kalinga at saklolo para sa mga OFW na nangangailangan or action fund is explicitly sub-allocated

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006821

for immediate legal intervention, medical treatment, and physical rescue of abused female domestic workers?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006824

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, as of now po, ang action fund ay ready po na ma-

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006825

The entire fund is ready to be used for any cases para po sa kahit sinong OFW na nangangailangan.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006826

So far po, over 50% ay actually nabigay po para sa ating mga kababaihan na OFWs.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006827

50% po yung halos ang naibigay mo.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006828

More than 50%.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006829

More than. Kasi mas marami nga po sila.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006830

I remember during the last budget hearing, I specifically requested po talaga sa DMW to have a sex disaggregated data.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006831

Isa po yan sa concern ko na talagang dapat ma-disaggregate yung data para alam po natin at magkano din po ang ilalaan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006832

Kasi marami po talaga sila para natutugunan po natin yung pangangailangan nila.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006833

My next question po, under RA 9710.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006834

or the Magna Carta of Women, government agencies are required to protect women in specially difficult circumstances.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006835

Out of the total operational budget of the migrant workers' offices and runaway shelters overseas,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006836

what specific line item is allocated to ensure that these shelters have trauma-informed female personnel,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006837

dedicated mental health professionals,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006838

and gender...

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006839

gender-sensitive facilities?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006840

Siguro po, kahit including mga gender-sensitive professionals din po, like yung mga gynecologists and the like.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006841

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006842

ang pondo po na ginagamit,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006843

or specific line item po ay ang ating Migrant Workers Resource Centers at ang ating Labor Attachés Fund.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006844

Yun po ang pinanggagalingan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006845

Maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006846

Uso po ngayon, ang dami po ngayong mga digital job scams and human trafficking rings continue to target young, vulnerable women,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006847

especially in rural areas, ano, for illegal placement in cyber fraud hubs across Southeast Asia.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006848

Ano po, meron po, bawat direct budget allocation is set aside in the 2027 budget

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006849

under the Illegal Recruitment Combat Directorates to expand anti-trafficking law enforcement and digital monitoring down to the LGU level.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006850

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006851

so far po, para po sa mga illegal recruitment, meron po tayong 18 million po na pondo na nakalaan po para dito.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006852

18 million, yes.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006853

18 million lamang po ang pondo para dyan?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006854

Opo.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006855

Isang napakalaking problema po meron tayo ngayon tungkol dyan sa mga digital job scams na yan,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006856

tapos 18 million lang po ang nakalaan na pondo.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006857

Siguro dapat po ay mahiling po natin na madagdagan po ang pondong iyan kasi napakalaki po ng hinaharap na problema ngayon ng DMW din tungkol dyan.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006858

Yes po, kaya po kasama rin po sa manifestation ng DMW,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006859

ang additional funding po na hiningi nila for 2 billion pesos ay syempre po parte po ng mailalaan po para sa legal recruitment and illegal,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006860

or anti-trafficking efforts po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006861

Thank you, Madam Chair, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006862

A major driver of repeated migration cycles among women is the absence of viable domestic economic opportunities upon returning home.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006863

Kaya nga po sila umaalis din dahil kulang dun sa economic opportunities.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006864

Ganun din po, pagbalik, ganun pa rin.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006865

Under the DMW and Overseas Workers' Welfare Administration Joint Reintegration,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006866

budget for 2027, ano po ang proportion, what proportion of funds is directly earmarked for high-value skills training,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006867

siguro po sa technology, healthcare, specialization, kasi yun po ang medyo mas malaki ang demand sa ating mga returning female OFWs.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006869

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006870

Para po sa Balik Pinay Program, 45 million pesos po ang nakalaan para dito.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006871

At it's also worth mentioning po siguro na ang ating ERF or Emergency Repatriation Fund,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006873

79% po nito ay nalaan para po sa kababaihan.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006874

So that's over 1 billion po na pondo na naiilaan po para sa kababaihan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006875

Maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006876

Pag-huling katanungan na lamang po, ano?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006877

What quantifiable indicators and gender disaggregated baseline data

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006878

does the DMW use in the 2027 budget proposal

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006879

to track whether returning female

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006880

migrants

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006881

successfully transition out of precarious low-wage care work

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006882

into sustainable domestic livelihoods or formal employment?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006883

Meron po ba tayong indicators?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006884

Meron tayong sistema ang ginagamit?

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006885

Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006887

meron po ng budget ng DMW every year ay nakalaan po para sa monitoring services

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006888

para po makita natin kung saan po ba or enough po ba ang nalalaan para sa ating mga kababaihan.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006889

At meron din po tayong disaggregated data tungkol dyan.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006890

Meron po. We can provide...

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006891

Sorry, I have the data here.

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006892

For the Balikpinay Balikhanap Buhay Program,

Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-006893

79% po ng mga beneficiaries are female.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006894

Thank you, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006895

Sa panghuli, payagan niyo po akong ipahayag na alam naman po natin

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006896

ang contribution ng ating mga OFWs.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006897

Hindi natin po matatawaran ang ambag nila sa ating bayan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006898

Sila ang bumubuhay ng ating ekonomiya sa pamamagitan ng kanilang remittances.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006899

Sila ang nagdadala ng dangal ng Pilipino sa iba't ibang lugar or panig ng mundo.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006900

At sila rin ang nagbabayad ng pinakamataas na halaga.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006901

Ang pagkakahiwan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006902

Ang pagkakahiwalay sa pamilya at ang panganib sa kanilang kaligtasan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006903

Kaya naman nararapat na ang Department of Migrant Workers ay bigyan ng mas mataas na pondo

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006904

upang matiyak na ang proteksyon, suporta at reintegrasyon ng ating mga OFWs ay tunay na maisa sa katuparan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006905

Sa bawat pisong ilalaan sa DMW, nakataya ang buhay at kinabukasan ng milyong-milyong Pilipino

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006906

sa bayong dagat.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006907

Kaya't hinihiling natin na ang 2027 budget ng DMW ay palakasin upang ang kanilang sakripisyo ay masuklian

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006908

ng mas matibay na proteksyon, mas maayos na serbisyo at mas makabuluhang suporta mula sa pamahalaan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-006909

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007071

Madam Speaker, yes, since most ancestral domains and ICCs/IPs are located in the regions, we recognize that NCIP's capacity must also be strongest at the field level.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007072

For 2027, our direction is to strengthen our regional, provincial, and community service centers by providing the necessary technical personnel, field resources, and operational support.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007073

Marami po sa trabaho ng NCIP ay ginagawa mismo sa communities.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007074

Tulad po ng ancestral domain, delineation, census, and validation.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007075

This requires our personnel to actually reach the communities, including those in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007076

So, strengthening the field offices is not simply an administrative investment.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007077

It directly increases our capacity.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007078

To deliver the mandate of NCIP, where our ICCs, IPs, actually are.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007079

Madam Speaker, we have submitted our Tier 2 proposal for creation of 10 provincial offices and 36 community service centers.

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007082

Sa NEP po ng 2027, nakasaad na ang 2025 GAA, target para sa percentage increase ng ancestral domains or lands recognized and delineated ay 11%.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007083

Ngunit ang actual performance ay 0%.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007084

Sa 2026, target muli ay 11%.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007085

As of today, ilang percent na po ba ang na-accomplish?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007087

It is a target based on the Actual Cases Program.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007088

There is states of processing, complexity, location, and the resources available for implementation.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007089

At the same time, the 113 represents only the funded annual target.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007090

It does not represent the total need or the total number of

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007092

ancestral domain claims that NCIP still has to process.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007093

Kaya po, ang gusto namin ipakita sa Congress is the distinction between the funded target and the actual mandate.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007094

The NCIP will deliver what is funded while continuing to present the remaining requirements so that, over time, it can address the larger backlog.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007095

The target should be realistic enough to be accountable.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007096

But the budget should also progressively respond to the actual universe of ancestral domains' claims that remain to be served.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007097

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007098

CAGTI and CALTI processing is the legal recognition of ancestral domain and ancestral land rights.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007099

It is not an ordinary process.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007100

It is not an ordinary permit or simple administrative transactions.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007101

Ang kinikilala po natin dito ay karapatan sa lupa na may intergenerational consequences.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007102

Once recognized, it affects not only the present generation but also the generations that will come after them.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007103

That is why the process has to be thorough and evidence-based.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007104

It involves community participation, genealogical and historical research, census, survey and mapping, validation, resolution of boundary and overlapping claims, legal review, and ultimately, commission deliberations.

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007105

May mga pagkakataon din na kailangan ng coordination with DNR, DAR, LRA.

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007106

LGUs and other agencies, because land records, existing titles, surveys,

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007114

And other claims have to be reconciled.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007115

Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, ulitin ko po yung tanong ko.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007116

Ilang percent na ang na-accomplish na ADs and ALs ngayong 2026 po?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007117

Or as of today?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007118

Madam Speaker, the 11% is the annual target based on the resources provided for 2027.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007119

It does not represent the total number of ancestral domains and lands that still need to be processed.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007120

The 11% corresponds to the 30 ancestral domains or lands.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007121

For many years, the budget of NCIP has not been proportionate to the actual universe of its mandate.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007122

Kaya po, ang target ay nakabatay sa kung ano ang kanyang pondohan, hindi sa kabuhuang pangangailangan.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007123

This is precisely why NCIP proposed a higher budget.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007124

So we can progressively increase our coverage.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007125

And process more ancestral domains and land claims.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007126

Sige po, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, baguhin ko na lang ang tanong ko.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007127

Ilan po ang na-accomplish na ng NCIP para mabigyan ng CalTee at CADTee for 2026?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007128

For 2026 po, ang approved is tatlo pong CAD-T at

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007129

CAL-T.

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007130

Ang total po ay 529.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007133

Maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007134

Sa NEP po ba ng 2027, target ulit po ay 11%.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007135

Ilan po ang tiyak na bilang ng ancestral domain na sakop ng target na ito?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007136

At bakit po taon-taon 11% lamang ang target ng NCIP?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007137

Sa 2027 po, Madam Speaker, ay 74 for 2027 ang target.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007138

At bakit po kaya taon-taon?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007139

At bakit po kaya taon-taon 11% ang target natin?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007140

Madam Speaker, yung 11% po is the annual target based on the resources provided for 2027.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007141

It does not represent the total number of ancestral domains and lands that still need to be processed.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007142

The 11%

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007143

corresponds to 30 ancestral domain or land claims.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007144

For many years, the budget for NCIP has not been proportionate to the actual universe of its mandate.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007145

Kaya po, ang target ay nakabatay sa kung ano ang kanyang pondohan, hindi sa kabuang pangangailangan.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007146

Naintindihan ko po ito, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007147

Kaya dadako na lang po ako sa susunod na katanungan ko kasi paulit-ulit na lang po yung tanong ko, paulit-ulit din po yung nagiging sagot.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007148

Sa indicator ng percentage increase ng bilang ng IPs assisted sa plan formulation, parehong 7% ang target para sa 2026 at 2027.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007149

Ano po ang dahilan kung bakit hindi tumataas ang target?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007150

At paano ito nakaka-apekto sa mga IP communities?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007151

Madam Speaker, we have a universe of 999 ancestral domains.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007152

Of these, 335 already have formulated ADSD PPS, leaving a gap of 664.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007154

For fiscal year 2027, the funded target is only 30 ADSD PPS, equivalent to about 4.5% of the remaining gap.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007155

After that, 634 would still remain.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007156

This illustrates the mandate coverage gap.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007157

Our annual target is determined by available resources while the actual need is much larger.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007158

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007159

Distinguished sponsor, can the NCIP confirm if it has a concrete plan to expedite the release of Certificate of Ancestral Domain title?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-007160

Considering na mandato na ito ng komisyon mula pa noong na-enact ng IPRA, bakit tila nananatiling mabagal ang CAD-T issuance po natin?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007161

Madam Speaker,

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007162

We are addressing not only the internal processing of CADTs and CALTs,

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007163

but also the interagency bottlenecks involving land records, registration, and overlapping claims.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007164

NCIP has already met with the Land Registration Authority to streamline CADT/CALT registration and address overlaps and interagency requirements.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007220

A technical working group was agreed upon to develop a clearer coordination mechanism.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007221

We are also engaging in broader land justice initiatives, including the Supreme Court's Land and Justice Summit,

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007222

where systemic issues involving land disputes and overlapping claims can be addressed with the concerned institutions.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007223

The Supreme Court had identified the Land and Justice Summit as one of its justice sector initiatives.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007224

So, our approach is both operational and structural.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007386

The MOA is retained

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

is not simply a

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007389

yes. The community

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

has the right to set conditions,

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007392

benefits, and safeguards,

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

the community's right to decide

Thank you, Madam Speaker, distinguished sponsor, my colleagues here in Congress, good afternoon.

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007511

I would just like to make a manifestation, Madam Speaker.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007512

This representation would like to make a manifestation concerning the proposed budget of the National Commission on Indigenous People,

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007513

given their glaring apathy and complete inaction during actual conflicts on the ground.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007514

Mr. Speaker, this year in Butuan City, an 18-year Good Friday tradition, the Panaat Pilgrimage in Barangay Antikala, was intentionally disrupted by political theater.

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007515

Local indigenous groups were manipulated amid a clan power struggle.

Dating back to 2020, weaponizing a sacred cultural observance for political gain.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007517

Rather than arguing in the media, my office initiated an immediate dialogue with local tribal leadership, barangay officials, the Philippine National Police, the Philippine Army, and the Red Cross,

asr-007518

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007519

to have the resolution officially retracted.

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

I must emphasize, Mr. Speaker, that this peaceful resolution was achieved completely without the intervention of the NCIP,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007521

who simply stood by and did nothing while tensions escalated.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007522

With this, I ask, does the...

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007523

Does the NCIP have a standard, funded protocol for facilitating immediate dialogue in these instances?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007524

Or does it leave the responsibility entirely to the legislative and local government unit?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007525

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007526

We allocate millions.

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007528

But tensions frequently arise over the balance of ancestral claims with vested rights and public access to shared thoroughfares.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007529

Is there a dedicated budget allocation for a rapid response interagency

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007530

mechanism?

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007531

So the NCIP does not simply stand by and do nothing when these disputes erupt.

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-007532

Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I leave it to this floor, to the agency concerned,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007559

At sa mga IPs. Kasi pa nga po, wala pa pong klaro na itong Pax Silica nito.

Sa ngayon wala pa po kayong pag-aaral tungkol dito?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007816

Wala pa po.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Wala pa kayong posisyon?

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007818

Wala pa po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007819

Pwede nyo bang pag-aaralan at magkaroon ng posisyon dito ang NCIP?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007820

Kasi po, katulad nung nabanggit natin kanina, sa kasalukuyan marami ng active mining projects

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007821

at nababahala tayo dun sa effect nito sa ating mga indigenous peoples.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007822

Kaya po, kung may ganitong bagong MOU na may kinalaman sa pagsusupply ng critical minerals,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007823

raw at processed, dapat mapag-aaralan po natin.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007824

Pag-aaralan po ng NCIP para po ma-improve.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007825

Pero ang IPs po ang magdidesign.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007826

Yes.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007827

Opo, yan naman po ang nararapat.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007828

Matiyak natin kung ano mismo yung kanilang pagtingin, yung kanilang posisyon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007829

Dating po sa MOU na ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007830

Kaya nga po, mahirap po na napirmahan na.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007831

Pero hindi po, kumbaga, narinig yung boses ng most affected peoples, areas, and communities na ating mga indigenous peoples.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007832

Ngayon naman po, pagdating po sa pag-aaral na tungkol po sa situation ng pag-commit sa right to education.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007833

Quality and accessible education ng mga indigenous peoples.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007834

Meron na po ba kayong datos kung paano po matitiyak yung access sa education at all levels ng ating indigenous peoples?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007835

At paano po kayong nakikipagtulungan halimbawa sa DepEd?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007836

Meron po silang last miles schools program.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007837

Ang CHED din po, may particular na programa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007838

Para sa paggamit ng higher education ng mga students na IPs.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007839

Pwede po ba kayong magbahagi sa atin kung ano yung mga initiatives ng NCIP para mapunan ang education gap at masolusyonan ang inaccessibility pa rin ng learning at education sa ating bansa?

Gayun din po.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007845

Pagdating sa trabaho, kabuhayan, pati na rin sa sektor ng agrikultura, mahalaga po yan kasi napapansin po natin sa maraming mga budget proposals at sa mga tinatalakay natin ngayong mga programa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007846

Lagi pong naiiwan yung pagtitiyak na ang mga servisyo ay abot kamay din sa ating mga indigenous peoples.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007847

Kaya po, hingin po natin ang datos na yan at challenge, hindi lang po sa NCIP.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007848

Kapulungan na ito, natitiyakin sa lahat po ng oras ay hindi lang po included, pero matiyak natin, hindi lang yung inclusivity, pero dapat meron ding priority sa lahat po ng mga nananatili, na underserved ng mga communities dito sa ating bansa.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Um,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007858

Well, Mr. Speaker, tanong natin sa NCIP, ano po ang magiging involvement?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007859

Or kasalukuyang involvement ng NCIP sa Paxilica?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007860

Ang ginagawa po natin ay coordination po sa mga IPs para po,

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007861

nilang social safeguards.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007862

Social safeguards. Ano pong ibig sabihin nun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007863

Well, ilinaw po natin bakit natin natanong ang Paxilica?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007864

Dahil alam natin isang mahalagang component, malaking component ng Paxilica,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007865

ayon na rin sa paliwanag ng gobyerno, ay yung critical minerals.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007866

So, merong aspeto ng advanced manufacturing, sabi nila,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007867

yung mga semiconductors, AI-related,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007868

pero isang component din yung critical mineral supply chain.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007869

At alam natin, ang ibig sabihin yan sa konteksto ng Pilipinas ay mining.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007870

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007871

At alam naman natin, pag sinabing mining,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007872

ay kadalasan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007873

masasaklaw o mahahagi po nito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007874

ang mga lupang ninuno.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007875

Hindi po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007876

Kaya ang sinasabi nyo, ang papel ng NCIP ay pagtiyak ng,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007877

ano yung sabi nyo kanina?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007878

Ano po yung term na ginamit nyo?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007879

Social safeguards po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007880

Social safeguards.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007881

So, tama po bang intindi ko?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007882

Ibig sabihin, kung yung lupain nila, lupang ninuno,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007883

ay yan ang magiging target ng pagbimina NCIP.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007884

Tutubo po ang magdi-desisyon kung papayagan o hindi ang proyekto.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007885

Okay.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Tama po?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007888

tama po?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007895

Okay.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007896

Hindi po tatalikura ng NCIP ang mandato sa pagpapatupad ng FPIC kung ang proyekto ay nasa loob po ng lupaing ninuno.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007897

Hindi pa payag. Paano po? Pakiulit po.

the participants are taking measures to accelerate,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007914

streamline,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007915

or deregulate permitting timelines and processes,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007916

including obtaining permits for critical minerals and rare earth mining,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007917

separation and processing within their respective domestic regulatory systems consistent with applicable law.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007918

Kasi isa yun sa mga probisyon nung Memorandum of Understanding.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007919

So yung pagpapabilis daw po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007920

ng permitting,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007921

pagkuhan ng permit,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007922

para nga matuloy yung mine.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007923

Kasama po ba sa prosesong ito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007924

yung pag-obtain ng FPIC?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007925

Hindi po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007926

Hindi po?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007927

Hindi po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007928

So baka kakuha ka ng permit kahit walang FPIC, ganun po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007929

Walang consent?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007930

Walang katibayan ng consent?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007931

Hindi po.

asr-007934

Hindi makakakuha.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007935

Hindi po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007936

Hindi nga po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007937

So no permit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007938

No consent, no permit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007939

Tama po.

Source

So kasama sa proseso.

Obtaining permits.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007945

So kasama po yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007947

Sa mga kailangan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007948

Sino mang gusto magmina,

maraming dadaanan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007950

Meron sa DNR, alam natin yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007951

Sa LGU, kailangan mo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007952

Pero kailangan din sa indigenous communities

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007953

through the FPIC.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007954

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007955

Kung nasa loob po ng ancestral domain,

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007956

ay kailangan.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007957

At hindi po maaaring isakripisyo ng ang FPIC

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007958

bilang substantive rights

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-007959

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007967

Permitting the participants,

meaning the Philippine government,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007969

are taking measures to accelerate,

or deregulate permitting timelines and processes.

Source

Isang dahilan po, ay in-incorporate pa

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008070

Pinahold po nino?

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008071

Abay, N-Bank yan. Sino nagpa-hold sa N-Bank?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008075

You mean Congress?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008076

Yes, Congressional Committee.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008077

Aling committee po?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008078

Dito po, dito po sa atin.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008079

Sorry?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Dito po, pinahold.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008081

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008082

Well, of course, ultimately, hindi naman po pwedeng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008083

wala na, hindi naman

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008084

maaaring mag-utos

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008085

ang Kongreso sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008086

komisyon, diba? So siguro,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008087

nagpahayag

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008088

na may mga concerns.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008089

So, mukhang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008090

bisisyon ng komisyon

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008091

na i-hold muna

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008092

ang publication.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008093

Tama po, tama po.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008094

Okay. Pero

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008095

For refinement.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008096

For refinement. Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008097

So, in other words, parang in-approve na N-Bank

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008098

pero mukhang magkakaroon pa ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008099

refinement, sabi nyo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008100

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008101

So, nilabas po ito nung Mayo.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008102

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008103

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008106

2026, an N-Bank

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008107

four months later ay hindi pa rin

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008119

Yung buong proseso...

Wala.

Wala po.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Parang absolute... Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008140

Absolute deadline. Yung 60 days.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008141

Kasi po, may itong mekanisim

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008142

para sa extension of time.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008143

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008144

ang komunidad at aplikante.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008145

Okay. Kasi po, sa mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008146

reports na lumabas, unfortunately,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008147

hindi nyo pinablish. Kaya

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008148

nagre-rely po tayo mainly sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008149

reports. Sinasabi po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008150

ay kaya nga may mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008151

nagpo-protesta ay parang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008152

pinaiksi. Kinumpress yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008153

timeline

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008154

nung proseso.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008155

So, ang sinasabi nyo po, hindi

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008156

Hindi po, hindi po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008157

Hindi ganon. Naging 60

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008158

Hindi po, totoo yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008159

So, kaya nga, mula... Ang sinasabi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008160

nyo mula 30 days, naging 60 days.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008161

Ganon po ba?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008162

Opo, opo, opo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008162-split-2

Opo. Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008163

Okay. Well, kaya nga po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008164

ang concern natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008165

ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008166

may commitment

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008167

ng gobyerno na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008168

pabilisin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008169

ang proseso ng permitting.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008170

At ang concern natin ay baka

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008171

eto na nga yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008172

ginagawa ngayon

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008173

ng NCIP.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008174

Ang commitment

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008175

ng Marcos

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008176

Junior Administration,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008177

yes, okay kami sa Paxilica,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008178

yes, okay kami sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008179

critical minerals

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008180

mining. Ang hinihingi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008181

ng mga Amerikano

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008182

para mag-invest sila,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008183

sa critical minerals,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008184

ay pabilisin nyo naman yung permitting nyo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008185

No? And therefore,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008186

kasama na doon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008187

hindi lang yung tumatagal

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008188

sa DNR, tumatagal sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008189

LGU, kasama rin po yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008190

sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008191

indigenous communities.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008192

No? Kaya po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008193

kinatanong natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008194

baka naman ang mangyari, yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008195

revision nyo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008196

ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008197

kukumporme.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008198

Sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008199

commitment

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008200

dito sa Paxilica.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008201

Yung pong certificate of

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008202

precondition, it is not a permit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008203

Okay.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008204

It is a validation

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008205

of ICC's

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008206

consent. Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008207

Yes, we understand it's not a permit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008208

So, hindi directly tinutukoy. Pero para

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008209

makakuha ng permit,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008210

rekisito po yung, yan, hindi po ba?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008211

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008212

Tama. At pag wala, pag hindi nakuha yan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008213

no permit will be

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008214

issued. Correct?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008215

Correct po. Tama po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008216

So, hopefully, nakakaintindihan na tayo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008217

Naintindihan naman natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008218

hindi

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008219

NCIP

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008220

ang nag-i-issue ng permit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008221

Pero, para makakuha ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008222

permit, kailangan yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008223

proof na may

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008224

consent yung community.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008225

Diba? Tama po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008226

O, yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008227

Nakakaintindihan naman tayo. So, therefore,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008228

yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008229

commitment ng gobyerno sa mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008230

Amerikano, pabibilisin namin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008231

ang permitting

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008232

para mas mainganyo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008233

ang mga US

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008234

investors into the

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008235

critical mineral sector, yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008236

tinatawag nilang critical mineral sector,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008237

inevitably,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008238

mahahagi po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008239

ang gawain

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008240

ng NCIP.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008241

Yun lang po sinasabi natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008242

Di po ba?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008243

Hindi po natin

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008244

isasakripisyo

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008245

yung substantive rights

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008246

ng mga IPs.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008247

Okay. Well, at least, that's on the record

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008248

na hindi isasakripisyo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008249

Okay. Ngayon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008250

kongkreto na po. Di yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008251

Paxilica, nababanggit na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008252

ang mukhang ang unang-unang proyekto

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008253

nito na kongkreto ay yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008254

sa New Clark City. Di po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008255

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008256

At may more or less

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008257

1,600 hectares na

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

identified na

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008260

mainly sa Kapas, Tarlac.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008261

At sabi ng BCDA, at ng New Clark City, wala raw pong maapektuhang indigenous communities sa area na tinatarget ng Paxilica project na ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008262

At totoo po ba yun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008263

At sumasang-ayon po ba ang NCIP sa ganong pahayag ng BCDA?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008264

Meron po, meron maapektuhan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008265

Merong maapektuhan?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008266

Gano'ng karami pong IPs ang maapektuhan? At sino-sino sila? Anong mga grupo po ito?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008267

83 households with 950 individuals.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008268

83 households with?

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008269

900, 950 individuals.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008270

950 individuals.

Barangay Aranguren, Kapas Tarlac.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008274

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008275

Meron pong, dumaan po ba sa proseso ng pag-obtain ng free prior informed consent?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Ang mga IPs na ito, IP communities?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008277

IPs na ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008278

Yun po, yung sasabang pawayan at iba pa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008279

Nakakausap po namin actually ang mga yan.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008280

Madalas na po sila dito sa Maynila dahil nga sa issue ng Paxilica.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

Walang free, wala pa.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008284

Wala pang free prior.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008285

Wala pa po kasi po, wala pa naman yung proyekto.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008286

Dahil, wala pa dahil wala pa yung proyekto.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008287

Okay.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Continuous ang dialogue sa BCDA.

Okay, so wala pa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008303

Aware po ba ang NCIP doon?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Ng application, you mean?

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008412

Nag-amend po sila ng application,

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008413

yung mismo mga Aeta.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008423

Pahagi. Ano po ang status ng application?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008424

The claim remains under processing due to overlapping claims with BCDA titled areas.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008425

Funding requirement for CADT processing, incomplete supporting evidence, requiring further validation, and internal community issues that need to be resolved.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008426

Okay. So, may mga issues pa po. So, may conflicting claims ang grupo ng ITA na ito with BCDA itself. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008427

Tapos may mga iba pang issue na binanggit kayo. Tama po?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008428

Okay.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008429

Tama po, tama po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008430

Pero ngayon, yung subject na, yung gusto nilang, yung ina-applyan nila, yun mismo, yung area na sasaklawin ng Paxilica Project.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008431

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008432

Tama po, tama po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008433

O, yun na nga. Kahit yung Santa Lucia, yung sinasabi nyo, merong ibang application eh.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008434

Ang tinanggal po yung mga residential areas.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008435

Opo. Pero ang point po natin, meron po mga ITA dyan. At maaring sabihin, eh wala pa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008436

Pending pa yung CADT application nila. In the meantime, pinapaalis na nga po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008437

Ayun na nga eh. Bebinasa ako kanina na sulat ng BCDA. Sabi, punta ka dito sa opisina, pag-usapan natin yung tulong na ibibigay sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008438

Meaning, bibigyan ka na lang ng relocation fee.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008439

So, paano po tayo ngayon? Paano ngayon yung mga IP na nandyan? Tandaan po natin, ang mga nandyan po, mga ITA, according to historical and genetic records, talagang isa sa mga unang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008440

unang inhabitants ng kapuluan. Di po ba?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008441

Wala po. Wala pong information ang NCIP. Ang nakakaalam po diyan ay ang BCDA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008442

Wala, sorry po. Wala pong information?

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008443

Wala silang information [unclear].

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Ah, wala pong ano? Pakiulit lang po.

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008445

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

Ah, walang information sa pagpapalis.

Source

Rep. Rodolfo "Ompong" M. Ordanes

asr-008448

Ang nakakasagot po dyan ay ang BCDA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008449

Okay. Well, ang mungkahi po natin, dahil sabi nyo, meron kayo kaninang commitment na itindigan nyo yung karapatan ng mga IP,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008450

yung mungkahi po natin ay puntahan nyo na.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008451

Dahil, ayun na nga po, yung mga IP na ito mismo, yung mga nag-apply,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008452

no, pabanggitin ko na po yung pangalan, nung kanilang chieftain ang tawag po nila dyan eh,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008453

si Apong Pet, ayan, nakikita ko po. Kilala po ba yan ng NCIP?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008454

Opo. Ayan, si Chieftain Petronila C. Mu?oz, CADT representative, no.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008455

Eh, sila po, no, ang pinagkukuna natin ng informasyon, no.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008456

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008457

So, well, kasama po sila sa dialog.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008458

Kasama sa dialog. Kaya nga po, at kasama rin sila sa mga nangunguna sa pagprotesta,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008459

kontra sa Paxilica Project at, ayan na nga, sa mga ginagawang panggigipit.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008460

No, yung sinasabi nila, kahit yung access, yung mga access roads sa kanilang mga community,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008461

minsan hinaharangan, and so on, hindi na madaling makapasok, no,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008462

ang mga naisumuporta sa kanilang laban dahil naghihigpit na po ang BCDA, yung New Clark City, dito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008463

No, so, Mr. Speaker, alam ko, tapos na po ang oras natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008464

So, hinahighlight lang po natin dito, no, na may direktang banta,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008465

ang Paxilica Project sa karapatan ng mga IP dahil ang unang-unang tatargetin ay critical minerals areas,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008466

meaning yung mga lupain mismo ng mga indigenous peoples.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008467

At kahit nga, sa kaso ng New Clark City, hindi naman daw minahan ito, pero malinaw na mga IP communities din,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008468

particular sa mga barangay at sityo na nabanggit natin, ang direktang maapektuhan.

Source

Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.

asr-008469

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008474

Hindi tayo, hindi natin tatanggapin na ang mangyari pa ang NCIP,

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

at wala pang IPRA

Mr. Speaker,

good sponsor, many communities

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008541

who also resist these corporations

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

are red-tagged and faced

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008543

with multiple lawsuits

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008544

yet the NCIP

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

has done little

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008546

to protect indigenous peoples

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-008547

and advocates.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

good sponsor,
