Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000532Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000533this will be my last question.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000534The board has 92
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000535authorized positions. Is this correct?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000536Opo.

Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000594Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000595Madam Sponsor,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000596ang Optical Media Board po ay tinatag
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000597noong panahon na ang
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000598pangunahing concern sa piracy,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000599ICDs, DVDs, at iba pang
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000600physical optical media.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000601Pero ngayon, ang piracy
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000602distribution ay copyrighted
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000603content ay increasingly
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000604lumilipat sa online
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000605platforms at digital channels.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000606Kanina ho, nabanggit ni Kong
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000607Fresley, ngayong 2026,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000608parehong may mga panukala
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000609sa Kamara at Senado para
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000610i-abolish ang OMB at
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000611ilipat ang functions nito
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000612sa Intellectual Property Office
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000613of the Philippines dahil sa mga pagbabago
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000614pong ito.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000615Tanong ko po, habang pinagdidesisyonan
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000616ng Kongreso
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000617ang future structure
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000618ng OMB, ano po ang
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000619mga unique regulatory function
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000620na ginagawa ng board
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000621na ngayon ay kailangan pa rin maisagawa
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000622at hindi dapat mabitawan?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000623Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000624ang ginagawa po ng
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000625board ay registration
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000626and licensing.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000627At patuloy pa rin po sila,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000628isang nag-i-inspeksyon.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000629At meron din pong mga
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000630hearing ng mga admin cases.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000631Napaka-importante po nito dahil may
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000632continuing public interest
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000633sa protection of intellectual property.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000634Pero nagbago po ang paraan ng piracy at distribusyon ng content. Kailangang malinaw kung ang current institutional structure ay tugma sa problema ang sinusubukan nating solusyonan.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000635Follow-up question lamang po, Madam Sponsor. Ano pong specific functions ng OMB na sa tingin ninyo ay hindi sapat na ma-assume ng ibang existing agencies tulad ng Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000636Um, kagaya nga nang sinabi ko po kanina, ang office po ng OMB ay hindi pa rin naman po tumitigil yung mandate po nila na mag-inspeksyon at magbigay ng mga lisensya.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000637Um, hindi po sila magbibigay na nila ng license kung hindi nila nakikita kung ano yung content ng mga iikot na materials sa ating bansa.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000638Ang next question ko po ay may kinalaman sa
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-00063953.5 million budget. Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, ang proposed 2027 budget ng OMB ay mahigit 53.4 million mula sa 47.0 million sa 2026 GAA.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000640Sa gitna po ng mga panukhalang i-abolish ang OMB, ano ang kongkretong additional activities or capabilities na pupunduhan ng proposed 2027 budget?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000641Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000642Um, um, nag-increase po talaga yung, uh, salary. Alam naman natin na may wage increase tayo. At yung basic operations. Yung M-O-O-E po ang nag-increase.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000643Agripo ko, Madam. Uh, kasi po napakalaga po nito habang may legislative review, sa future structure ng agency, kailangan natin makita kung ang dagdag na pondo ay tumutugon.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000644sa actual

asr-000656enforcement needs o nagpapatuloy lamang sa existing administrative operations.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000657Ang susunod na katulungan ko po ay may kinalaman sa 50% vacancy.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000658Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, sa 2027 Stopping Summary ng OMB, may 92 authorized positions pero 46 lamang ang field.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000659Ibig sabihin, kalahati ng plantilla positions ay vacant.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000660Ano po ang dahilan ng napakataas na vacancy rate at anong impact nito sa enforcement ng operations ng OMB?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000661Mr. Speaker, kagaya nga po ng sagot ko po kanina, dahil nga po OIC lahat ang head natin,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000662naglipatan na po lahat ng mga empleyado natin at ang OIC ay wala rin pong power to hire, to acquire.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000663Maraming salamat po, Madam Sponsor.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000664Ang susunod na katulungan ko po ay may kaugnayan sa 3,000 inspection orders.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000665Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, sa 2027 Performance Targets, target ng OMB na maka-act sa 3,000 inspection orders,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000666served on optical media establishments with 100% acted upon within the prescribed time frame.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000667Pero kung kalahati ng authorized positions ay vacant, sapat po ba ang manpower ng OMB para ma-maintain ang
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-0006683,000 inspection order target?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000669Mr. Speaker, yan nga po ang malaking problema ng board, kaya po humihingi sila ng funding ng pondo para po mapatuloy natin ang mandato para po sa ahensya na ito.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000670Ang susunod na katanungan ko naman po, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, ay may kinalaman sa 301 watch list.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000671Ang pangunahin,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000672ang pangunahing outcome indicator po ng OMB ay ang pagpapanatili na hindi mapasama ang Pilipinas sa U.S. Trade Representative o sa USTR Section 301 watch list.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000673Ito rin ang target for vote 2026 and 2027.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000674Sa panahon po ngayon kung saan malaking bahagi ng piracy ay lumilipat sa digital platforms,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000675sapat po ba ang pagiging wala sa watch list bilang pangunahing indicator ng effectiveness ng OMB?
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000676At may domestic indicator?
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000677May indicators po ba ang OMB na sumukat kung nababawasan ang piracy copyright infringement of the Philippines?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000678Ibig sabihin po na wala tayo sa watch list.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-000679Ang pinapahihwating lang po ng OMB na ginagampanin pa rin nila ang kanilang tuntunin mga gawain, kaya tayo po ay wala sa watch list.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000680Maraming salamat po, Madam Sponsor.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000681Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, nagpapasalamat po tayo sa Optical Media Board at sa mahalagang layunin nitong protektahan ang intellectual property rights.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000682Sa harap ng mabilis na pagdipat ng piracy mula sa physical media patungo sa digital environment,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000683mahalaga po na mapanatili ang enforcement capability ng pamahalan at matiyak ng maayos na transition kung magkakaroon naman ng institutional changes.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000684Umaasa tayo na anuman na maging structure ng Optical Media Board ay patuloy pa rin na mapalakas laban,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-000685sa kontra-piracy, at maprotektahan ng ating mga Pilipino creators at legitimate creative industries.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay

Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000779Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to welcome to the House of Representatives the Department of Foreign Affairs, headed by Secretary Maria Theresa P. Lazaro, together with its attached agencies: the Foreign Service Institute, the Presidential Commission on Visiting Forces, and the UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines. It is my honor, together with my colleague Representative Niko Raul Daza, to sponsor
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000780the DFA's proposed budget for fiscal year 2027 in the amount of approximately 35.17 billion. This represents a 21.77% increase from the fiscal year 2026 GAA and will support the department's work in national security, economic diplomacy, consular services, assistance to Filipinos overseas, and organizational development. Fellow
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000781members of Congress, the Department of Foreign Affairs plays a central role in advancing and protecting Philippine interests abroad. Its work remains anchored on the three pillars of Philippine foreign policy: preservation and enhancement of national security, promotion and attainment of economic security, and protection of the rights and promotion of the welfare and interests of Filipinos overseas. This year the Philippines has taken on a major regional responsibility as chair of ASEAN
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000782under the theme "Navigating Our Future, Together." Through our chairship, the Philippines has helped advance key regional priorities and would have hosted more than 640 meetings throughout the year at the leaders', ministerial, officials' and technical levels. A key outcome of the May 2026 summit in Cebu is the ASEAN Leaders' Declaration on Maritime Cooperation, which provides for
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000783the establishment of the ASEAN Maritime Center to be hosted by the Philippines. Beyond ASEAN, the department continues to strengthen the Philippines' bilateral and multilateral partnerships in pursuit of mutually beneficial cooperation. These engagements serve to build and strengthen alliances and partnerships, promote Philippine economic interests, particularly trade and investment, and strengthen people-to-people ties. Maritime security remains a major foreign policy priority.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000784This year marked the tenth anniversary of the 2016 arbitral award. The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the 2016 award remain the twin anchors of our foreign policy in the maritime space as we protect and promote our sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea. Mr. Speaker, service to our Filipinos overseas remains at the core of the department's work. This
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000813responsibility has become even more important amid continuing conflict in the Middle East.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000814The DFA, through our foreign service posts, continues to assist Filipinos affected by hostilities
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000815and coordinates closely with the Department of Migrant Workers and other partner agencies
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000816on repatriation and other forms of assistance.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000817The Department continues its diplomatic engagements with governments and international organizations
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000818to help safeguard Filipino seafarers and Philippine-flagged vessels
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000819operating in areas affected by conflict and heightened security risks.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000820These efforts underscore the need for the Department to maintain the capability to respond quickly
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000821whenever the safety and welfare of Filipinos overseas are at risk.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000822The DFA likewise continues to work closely with the Department of Migrant Workers
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000823in serving Filipinos overseas.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000824In countries without a resident migrant workers' office,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000825the DFA continues to play a lead role in looking after our Kababayans.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000826The Department also remains responsible for overseas Filipinos
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000827who are not classified as migrant workers,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000828including students, tourists, permanent residents, and other Filipino nationals.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000829At the same time, the Department continues to bring consular services closer to the public.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000830In 2026, the DFA processed more than 1.5 million passports,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000831issued hundreds of thousands,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000832and continued to provide services through its 42 consular offices nationwide.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000833The 2027 budget will support preparations for the next-generation Philippine passport,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000834which is expected to feature enhanced security features,

Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000847while strengthening the country's political and economic engagement.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000848Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues,

Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000875Willingly so, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000876Thank you.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000877Please proceed.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000878Good morning, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000879Let me start by returning to the previous discussions during the committee briefings that DFA reported then that 44.5 million had been appropriated for online voting and overseas voter registration information campaigns.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000880This is for 2027 fiscal year.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000881Am I right?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000882Is this correct?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000883Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000884Yet, records would show that turnout remains low during recent years.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000885Is this correct?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000886That's correct, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000887May I know what's the reason behind?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000888How come the turnout remains so low from previous years?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000889Mr. Speaker, maraming factors to consider bakit medyo mababa yung turnout.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000890And a few of which are the mobility of overseas Filipinos.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000891Work relationships.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000892Related constraints.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000893Minsan, hindi po pinapayagan ng mga employees nila.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000894Country-specific restrictions and geographic dispersion.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000895Political engagement or lack of confidence.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000896And we have a limited awareness of the registration and the process.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000897Yung iba po nating kababayan, hirap po sila to participate kasi hindi po nila alam yung how to go about it and how to participate in the electoral procedure, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000898Mr. Speaker, this is your sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000899You mentioned lack of confidence.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000900Can you elaborate what does it mean?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000901Mr. Speaker, lack of confidence.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000902Mr. Speaker, lack of confidence.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000903When I say lack of confidence po, Mr. Speaker, ibig sabihin po, yung mga workers po, they are not that confident yet in the process by which the elections is being done.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000904They need more awareness, Mr. Speaker, kaya po yung Department of Foreign Affairs are consistently undergoing trainings and information campaigns to educate better these intended participants of the electoral process, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000905So in short, the lack of confidence, when you translate that to Tagalog, it means wala silang tiwala? Ganun ba yun?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000906Sa proseso?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000907So, it's not na wala po silang tiwala, Mr. Speaker, pero in a way din po, parang some of them feel that their votes do not necessarily make an impact, kaya hindi na lang po sila bumuboto.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000908So they need more awareness and more information campaigns po, Mr. Speaker. Kumbaga, kailangan po ipaintindi po sa kanila na every vote counts.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000909Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000910How much funds were allocated in the previous years for overseas absentee voting?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000911And in connection to that, could you explain the reasons for this low voter turnout and if this is isolated only in specific jurisdictions or is this prevalent in all countries where we have overseas voters?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000912Mr. Speaker, we are just gathering the data in terms of yung amount expended in the previous years.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000913But for the turnout, it seems to be consistent in the different regions of the world.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000914Sa highest po is only 24.16%, which is in the Asia and the Pacific, and the lowest is in North and Latin Americas, which is 7.9%.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000915And as I've mentioned earlier, Mr. Speaker, maraming factors po ang nag-contribute due to the low turnout.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000916But the department is already doubling its efforts, ensuring that in the next electoral process, this will greatly improve, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000917Have you tried the COMLEC na magkaroon kayo ng consultation or technical working group when it comes to this?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000918At least, are they involved, COMLEC?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000919COMLEC?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000920Yes, definitely, Mr. Speaker. The COMLEC is very much involved in this procedure.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000921My follow-up question, just to put this in context, how many overseas registered voters do we have in 2025, if we have the figures on hand?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000922As of 2025, Mr. Speaker, there are 1,241,690 registered overseas voters, to be exact po.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000923Out of?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000924Out of this 1.2 million voters, how many had actually voted?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000925Out of the 1.2 million po, Mr. Speaker, 228,000 approximately were able to actually vote, which is equivalent to 18.4%, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000926So, napakababa pala ng turnout natin.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000927Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000928Almost 18%, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000929So, ano sa tingin mo ang reason neto?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000930Because you mentioned ago...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000931Lack of confidence, kailangan you have a massive information campaign.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000932Internet voting removed the physical distance problem, but turnout was still only about 18% among OBCS voters.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000933So, what does DFA's post-election assessment say?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000934Were the actual barriers pre-voting enrollment, digital literacy, authentication, awareness, trust, connectivity, or something else?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000935Or maybe?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000936Yung mga kababayan ba natin, natatakot sila because they're not documented?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000937Several factors mentioned by the good gentleman, Mr. Speaker, contributed po dun sa low turnout.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000938And yung digital literacy is very important din po.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000939Isa yun sa malaking reason bakit po hindi nakaboto.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000940Nakaboto yung iba nating kababayan kahit na gusto po nilang bumoto.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000941And that is why in the past several months and in the upcoming months, nagkaroon at magkakaroon po yung DFA ng overseas regional training for continuing overseas voter registration.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000942Kasama na din po dyan yung process by which on how to exercise their vote, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000943Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000944I understand that statutory division of responsibility, but DFA operates the foreign service post and undertook information registration activities.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000945I therefore want DFA's own expenditures and outputs separated from COMELEC.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000946Besides, Mr. Speaker, overseas registration for the succeeding election cycle,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000947already began on December 1, 2025, and is scheduled to continue through September 30, 2027 at embassies and consulates.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000948So I presume we'll be funding these activities again. Am I right?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000949Yes, Mr. Speaker. Nakahiwalay po talaga yung budget ng overseas voting under the DFA.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000950For 2026, nagkaroon po ng 44.4 million separately.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000951For that purpose.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000952And iba din po yung budget allocated by the COMELEC, which I do not have any record for.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000953This office does not have any record.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000954So yung sa COMELEC, so you have separate budget with COMELEC. Am I right?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000955Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000956So paano nyo nire-reconcile yun?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000957Wala bang duplicity?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000958Mga mamiya, nag-fund kayo, ganun din sila.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000959So there will be a separate, may kanya-kanya, baka yung jurisdiction, or how to go.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000960About it?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000961Mr. Speaker, as to the details of the budget, kasi part of which is the traveling expenses.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000962So yung mga officials po ng COMELEC, dun po nila sinacharge sa office nila sa DFA naman po.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000963Dito naman po under the DFA training expenses din po.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000964Training of, there's a counterpart of DFA and there's a counterpart of COMELEC.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000965So we assure the good gentleman that there is no duplicity.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000966Of the expenses, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000967Thank you, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000968Mr. Speaker, before we fund further preparatory activity in 2027,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000969when will Congress receive the costed proposal for the hybrid or revised overseas voting system,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000970including lessons learned from 2025?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000971I'm sorry, may we repeat the question, Mr. Speaker?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000972Again, before we fund further preparatory activity for 2027, right now, because asking for another fund for 2027 here in Congress,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000973kailan namin matatanggap yung costed proposal for the hybrid or revised overseas voting system,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000974including lessons learned from 2025?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000975Kailan namin matatanggap yung lessons learned from 2025?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000976Remember 2025, the turnout was only around 18%.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-00097718% lang, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000978The actual votes, right?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000979So ngayon, 2027, yung costing nyo for the preparation for the hybrid or revised overseas voting system.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000980So anong gagawin natin na hindi natin maulit yung turnout natin na 18%?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000981Mr. Chair, part of...
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000982Part po ng activities that the DFA will conduct is yung training and information dissemination po.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000983So yung pagpapaintindi po sa ating mga kababayan, how important their vote is.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000984So yun po yung nagdodouble efforts yung DFA and of course in partnership with COMELEC to educate our mga kababayan overseas po.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000985So that...
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000986Yun po yung way na ma-increase po yung turnout natin, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000987And of course, better accessibility to the information needed through postings not only sa consular offices,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000988I mean sa foreign posts offices, but also through the direct communication with our recorded kababayans, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000989As you know, Mr. Speaker, 2288 is around...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000990So do you think the 18% will translate maybe half, maybe 50% kaya ba natin by 2028?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000991Otherwise, Mr. Speaker, sayang lang yung pondong ibinibigay natin because we're funding our massive information campaign for our kababayan overseas to make sure na makaboto sila because every vote counts.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000992So do you see in the 20...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000993Or maybe the presidential election, tataas ang ating turnout vote?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000994That is the hope and the direction, Mr. Speaker, na mapapataas po yung rate.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000995And of course, we also are expecting that the COMELEC will double its efforts in increasing the turnout rate, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000996But as far as the DFA is concerned...
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-000997In coordinating with the overseas Filipino voters, so they're doubling their efforts already po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000998Thank you for that, good sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000999Mr. Speaker, may I go to one of the crucial mandates of the department?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001000Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, can you confirm the report that DFA had already lodged 39 diplomatic protests against China in 2026?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001001And 296 from 2022 through 2026?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001002Yes, that is correct, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001003The diplomacy program itself is seeking approximately 14.48 billion in 2027. Is this correct?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001004Yes, Mr. Speaker, that's correct.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001005For the next fiscal year, or maybe for the past years, what performance framework does DFA use to determine...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001006...whether these protests are producing the intended diplomatic outcome?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001007Mr. Speaker, we believe that these diplomatic protests, since these are legal documents, have in a way toned down the aggression of other countries against the Philippines, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001008Makikita naman po natin na yung DFA, it is their role...
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001009...is to diplomatically negotiate and communicate with other countries, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001010So, as we see na ngayon, while tensions are still there, pero medyo in a controlled level na po, then that is already an achievement on the part of the DFA, Mr. Chair, na yung mga inisyo na diplomatic notes are effective.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001011And in fact...
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001012And in fact, many of which have been answered by China, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001013Yung iba, maramihan po nila sinagot. Yung iba po, isa-isa nila sinagot.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001014Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001015Is DFA tracking, for example, whether a protest receives a formal response, whether the complaint of conduct ceases or recurs, whether partner governments...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001016...issues, supporting statements, whether operational behavior at sea changes, otherwise our protest will just be a mere formality with no outcome?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001017As mentioned, Mr. Chair, there is no one-on-one, one-to-one correspondence on our protests with China.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001018Yung reply nila, minsan, there are three or four diplomatic notes and they will only reply with one...
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001019They will reply to that once, yung three or four diplomatic notes.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001020And we can see now, Mr. Chair, humuhupuan naman po yung tensyon as far as yung mga naririnig natin sa news before na there's attack against our fishermen, against our Coast Guard.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001021So ngayon, we are seeing na medyo nagto-tone down po, Mr. Chair, and we believe that this is greatly due also to the diplomatic notes issue.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001022by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001023Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001024This becomes more relevant because on September 11, following a Philippine Coast Guard report that Chinese forces fired flares toward a Philippine aircraft near Zamora, Subi, and Panganiban Mischief Reefs.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001025The FBI public called on China to cease its activities.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001026at the futures and reiterated its position under UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001027Is this correct?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001028Yes, Mr. Chair, that's correct.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001029So with respect to the September flare incident, did DFA lodge a diplomatic protest?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001030Mr. Chair, the DFA is about to send a diplomatic protest on that particular attack, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001031So, it happened last week, September 11.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001032Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001033So, isn't it after the incident, the following day, we should launch a protest?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001034Hindi ba ganun ang SOP natin dyan?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001035Not immediately, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001036Because the DFA awaits the detailed incident report about the attacks before they send out a diplomatic protest, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001037So, we're just going to wait.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001038So, in short, we are about to send one already, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001039So, hindi na po magtatagal.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001040So, are we expecting this week or next week?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001041Once the complete report has been submitted.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001042Once the complete report has been submitted to the office already, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001043then immediately, that diplomatic note will be sent out.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001044Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001045I'll go to the funding for the Consular and Assistance to Nationals, yung tinatawag natin ATN program.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001046Is it correct that the Consular and ATN program goes from approximately 7.47 billion in 2026
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001047to 13.63 billion in 2027, an 82.4% increase?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001048Can you enlighten us?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001049What's this Assistance to Nationals program?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001050Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001051The Assistance to Nationals program, as for the Assistance to Nationals program,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001052there is a proposed funding for 2027.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001053And yet, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001054in 2025, the program obligated 65% of its appropriations
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001055and disbursed only 38%.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001056What exactly will an additional 6.6 billion purchase
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001057that the department could not deliver with its previous budget?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001058Which line item will benefit from this increase?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001059Remember yung absorptive capacity nyo, utilization rate, mababa,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001060and then you're asking for more?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001061Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001062we are talking about the Assistance to Nationals program.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001063Mr. Speaker, the Assistance to Nationals program
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001064is like an insurance fund na gagamitin lang po kung kailangan.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001065It does not necessarily mean that if the proposed budget is
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001066for discussions purposes, 1 billion,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001067kailangan ubusin po yan on that fiscal year.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001068Because it depends upon, it will depend upon the needs and the requests for assistance.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001069From Filipinos overseas, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001070So, masasabi po natin, the lower the rate of utilization,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001071masasabi po natin, it's better for us kasi ibig sabihin lang po nun,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001072konti lang po yung mga kababayan natin na nangangilangan ng tulong
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001073and pumunta po sa atin, sa DFA, para humihingi po ng tulong, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001074So, insured, Mr. Speaker, insured, that's part of insurance.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001075Yun ba yung gusto nyo?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001076Yes, Mr. Speaker. It's like an insurance fund, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001077So, you're asking for more because parang standby siya for insurance?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001078Yes, Mr. Speaker. Kasi yung prior years po, mababalik na po sa National Treasury.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001079Okay. But, is it, I thought, yung 5.2 billion is increase in home office for MOOE.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001080Yun ba yun? So, it's not going to insurance?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001081Yes.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001082Mr. Speaker, yung nire-request po ng DFA,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001083na ATN fund is around 1 billion annually and around 200 million for the Legal Assistance Fund.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001084Legal Assistance Fund.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001085Okay.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001086So, how about MOOE nyo? Parang tumaas din ng 5.2 billion?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001087Mr. Speaker, yung sinasabi pong 5.8 billion budget is for the passport procurement and production, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001088Yeah.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001089Mr. Speaker, sponsor, could you explain the breakdown of the 13 billion, the share of passport, production, ordinary consular operations, ATN, legal assistance, reputation, ICT, and so on and so forth?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001090Ano itong breakdown ng 13 billion? Just to be transparent.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001091Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001093we're just reviewing the breakdown.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001094Okay, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001095Mr. Speaker, ang tinatanong po ng Butihing Kalihim ay yung breakdown po ng 13.8 billion. Tama po ba?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001096Yes.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001099Mr. Speaker, 12.4 billion will go to the consular services, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001100So, kasama na po yan yung passport production,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001101yung issuance of apostille certificates, among others, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001102Thank you, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001103In relation to the budget of ATN,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001104DFA explained in the previous committee briefing that part of the law ATN utilization is attributable to the creation of the Department of Migrant Workers
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001105and the transfer of OFW-related assistance functions.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001106Is this correct?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001107That's correct, Mr. Speaker, kasi yung DMW po, na-devolved na po doon yung ATN funds for overseas Filipino workers or for OFWs po.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001108What remains under the umbrella of the DFA are overseas Filipinos who are not working abroad,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001109such as tourists,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001110Students, dual citizens who in case of emergencies nangangailangan po ng tulong, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001111And also in some areas where there are no DMW satellite offices yet, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001112So yung DFA pa rin po yung tumutugon sa mga pangangailangan po ng mga OFWs in those particular areas, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001113Please walk me through.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001114Ibang DMW natin sa mga consular natin o embassy, meron ba silang satellite office inside ng ano nyo o wala?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001115Mr. Speaker, hindi po lahat ng may DFA offices may DMW.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001116So as of now, there are only 48 DMW satellite offices, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001117Inside the embassy.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001118Ganun ba yun yung consular nyo? Ganun ba yun?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001119It's separate.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001120Or they have a office, small office inside your consular or your ano?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001121Marami po sa kanila, Mr. Speaker, are together inside the embassy.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001122But there are also areas where DMW is renting or leasing their offices outside po.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001123Do you think that the law utilization because of overlapping, meron ba yung overlapping with DMW when it comes to ATN?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001124Mr. Speaker, lalabas po na.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001125Overlapping in terms of yung line item but yung mga tao na kinikater, again, DMW caters to OFWs po, yung DFA, yung mga Filipinos who are overseas but are not necessarily workers and OFWs who are in areas without any DMW offices, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001126Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001127I have more few questions but because my time is winding down.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001128I just want to follow the strict rule of 30 minutes so this will be my last questions.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001129Recently, our good Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Guibo Chidoro, attended an international forum abroad.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001130Siguro ay napanood na natin ito lahat because this becomes viral not only here but also internationally.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001131Sa video na ito, makikita natin na may nag-abot ng note habang si Secretary Guibo ay nagsasalita.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001132At habang siya ay may sinasagot na tanong on stage, Secretary Guibo, upon reading the note, stopped mid-sentence at binasa niya ang nilalaman ng note na ito na nanggaling umano sa China, allegedly from China, Chinese Embassy representatives present in the forum.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001133As we saw later in the photos, naglalaman ito ng pag-atake ng China sa 2016.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001134South China Sea Arbitration Ruling.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001135Inawag itong iligal at ang desisyon ng UNCLOS Arbitration Tribunal ay paglabag raw sa international law.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001136Secretary Guibo called this stealthy passing of the note as actual coercion, bullying, and aggression, and a sign of disrespect towards South Korea as the host.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001137Thank you very much.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001138Mr. Speaker, this is your sponsor. May we ask the official position of the Department of Foreign Affairs on this incident?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001139Mr. Speaker, the Department of Foreign Affairs respects the statements and views of the good Secretary of the Department of National Defense.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001140However, it maintains that it will continue to deal with these aggressions diplomatically, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001141Thank you.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001142Mr. Speaker, are you going to file also a protest or you will lodge a protest?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001143Mr. Speaker, hinihintay pa po ng opisina yung buong detalye po from the incident, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001144So eventually, are you going to lodge a protest?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001145It will depend upon the evaluation po, Mr. Speaker, on our DFA officials.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001146If it is necessary to issue a diplomatic...
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001147A diplomatic note on that matter, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001148So in short, yung evaluation nyo, is this an act of aggression yung ginawa?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001149Because during a forum, may biglang aabot sa'yo, that's seldom, peculiar na makikita nyo.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001150So I think this is something that we have to file a protest, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001151Kasi hindi maganda yung ginawa.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001152No less than, we were insulted, you know, because Secretaries, the alter ego of our President,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-001153yung nakakaya itong ginawa.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001154Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001155But the DFA maintains its stand that differences in position are better addressed through established diplomatic channels
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001156and in a manner consistent with the courtesy and professionalism expected in official international engagements, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001157Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have no more questions.
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong
asr-001158Majority Leader.
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon
asr-001159Mr. Speaker, next to interpolate.
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon
asr-001160The sponsor, I move to recognize Representative Rene Luisco of Kabataan Partylist.
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong
asr-001161The Honorable Rene Luisco is recognized to interpellate the sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001162Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001163And good morning to the distinguished sponsor and, of course, to the department.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001164My first question is to clarify whether, to clarify the mandate of the DFA.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001165Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001166Tama po ba that the DFA...
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001167The DFA acts as the primary coordinator, advisor, and processing agency for the negotiation, ratification, and entry into force of treaties in the Philippines,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001168supposedly determining whether an international agreement qualifies as an executive agreement or a treaty requiring legislative concurrence
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001169and drafting and coordinating closely with its offices on the drafts of the ratification of such treaties.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001170I'm sure that the DFA...
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001171has many mandates.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001172But may I request from the sponsor to clarify if this is accurate.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001173Madam, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001174Yes, Mr. Speaker, that is correct.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001175Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, I ask this because I'd like to clarify our commitments in relation to the Basel Convention.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001176We ratified the Basel Convention already in 1993, a few years after we signed it in 1989.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001177But on the 5th of
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001178December 2019, the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001179Basel Ban Amendment became
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001180international law and was adopted
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001181by the parties to the Basel
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001182Convention back
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001183in 1995. May we
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001184ask for an update on the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001185ratification of the Basel Ban Amendment?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001186Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001187the Department is currently
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001188checking on the status of the
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001189and updates of the ratification.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001190But it
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001191is
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001192under the
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001193under the view of the DFA that this is under the Department of Environment and National Resources, Mr. Speaker?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001194Yes, Madam Speaker. Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001195We also asked the DNR on the update on the ratification of the Basel ban amendment.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001196In 2020, they said it's in the works and six years later, this year,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001197we are given essentially the same update.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001198So, given that there's almost no movement as to how we are compliant with this international agreement that we entered into,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001199what can the DFA do to ensure that action and follow-through happens
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001200so that this agreement has translation in ratification?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001201Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001202Mr. Speaker, upon checking, the DFA has ratified.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001203The DFA has ratified the main agreement but not the protocols, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001204So, it is only the main agreement which is necessary to be ratified by the DFA.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001205And the DFA will coordinate with the DNR as to the status of the protocols.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001206So, to clarify, we're talking about the Basel ban amendment and this is separate from the convention?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001207Yes, that's correct, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001208Okay. Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, we'd like to request a report.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001209We'd like to request a report on how the DFA has ratified the Basel ban amendment already
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001210and is waiting on the protocols which I understand is with the DNR. Is this correct?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001211Yes, Mr. Speaker, that is correct.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001212And the DFA would willingly submit a report to the Office of the Good Congressman whenever it is ready, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001213Even if there is no...
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001214defined, definitive update yet on the protocols.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001215I raise this, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor because under the Basel Convention,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001216which we already ratified and it's already enacted into law,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001217state parties like the Philippines cannot trade waste with non-parties
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001218unless there is a bilateral agreement with that non-party
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001219which has terms and protections equal or better than that provided in the Basel Convention.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001220And in the past year, however, there's been more than 250 shipments of electronic waste
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001221from the United States imported by the Philippines.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001222And the United States is a non-party to the Basel Convention which makes these imports illegal.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001223Is the DFA aware of this, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001224Mr. Speaker, the DFA is not aware of the information being...
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001225presented by the good congressman.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001226Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001227We are sharing this because this is a violation of our commitments to the international community of states
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001228which we say, you know, that when we'd like to regulate the trade of waste,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001229that should happen amongst parties and should there be trade with non-parties,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001230that should be the subject of an agreement.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001231Which, again, should have protections equal or greater than that that we've already entered into.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001232But, so I'd like to ask, is the DFA aware of any movements to have a bilateral treaty
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001233that would allow the imports by the Philippines of electronic waste or waste from the United States?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001234Mr. Speaker, as of the moment, the DFA is not aware of any.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001235Bilateral agreements or any planned revision of our existing laws.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001236And the DFA will look into the matter being raised by our good colleague, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001237and evaluate on kung sino po ang dapat managot if there are violations, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001238Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001239This is also a multi-layered issue that we'd also ask these questions to,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001240the SBMA, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001241on which these electronic wastes are currently entering into our jurisdiction,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001242also the Bureau of Customs, also the DNR.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001243But it is in our due diligence that we're also asking the DFA
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001244because regardless of whether there is such an agreement
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001245or whether there are plans for such an agreement,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001246these shipments are already here and they're illegal.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001247And we don't know.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001248Kung saan na pupunta itong electronic waste,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001249ano pong ginagawa nito,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001250kung naka-expose po sila sa kalupaan natin,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001251na-expose to the elements,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001252anong pinapasok nito sa groundwater natin,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001253sa shores natin, etc.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001254Worse, if there is such a bilateral agreement in the future,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001255if signed, it would directly undermine the Basel Ban Amendment,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001256Article 4A of that convention,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001257which the Philippines already signed and has provided already,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001258ratified, at hinihintay na lang po kung paano ma-enact
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001259and tuloy yung protocols.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001260Specifically, it says that
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001261any member state of the OECD, European Union, or Liechtenstein
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001262are disallowed from exporting hazardous wastes
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001263to countries outside of that group.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001264And the Basel parties have not ruled on whether Article 11
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001265could be used to undermine another convention article itself.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001266So, Madam Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001267or we'd like to put this in the chat box,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001268but on record, if there are any movements
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001269to make this kind of arrangement,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001270the export of wastes from the United States
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001271to the Philippines, or our import thereof,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001272legal, via bilateral agreement or treaty,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001273the DFA is mandated to ensure that it doesn't happen
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001274because it is in contravention to the existing agreements
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001275we've already entered into.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001276So, Madam Speaker, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001277as a last question, do we have DFA's commitment to ensure
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001278that we do not enter?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001279And do we have any bilateral agreement
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001280that is not in any existing international
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001281and multilateral agreements we've already committed to?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001282Mr. Speaker, the DFA maintains that
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001283it has no information of any efforts right now
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001284to enter into a bilateral agreement
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001285with any countries for that matter.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001286And with the information,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001287the report that has been raised
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001288by our good government,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001289colleague, the DFA, will coordinate
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001290with all regulatory agencies
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001291and see,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001292evaluate, if there have been
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001293any violations of our
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001294existing laws, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001295Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001296I'm happy to hear that the DFA will take
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001297action to the information shared
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001298but I'd like to request
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001299commitment
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001300to ensure that should there
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001301be any movement
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001302as to the creation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001303of a bilateral agreement that
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001304would contravene the already existing
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001305agreements we've entered into,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001306is the DFA going to ensure that it
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001307doesn't happen?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001308Yes, Mr. Speaker, the DFA commits
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001309that it will not
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001310support any
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001311efforts that would
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001312contradict our existing laws, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001313Thank you, Mr.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001314Speaker, good sponsor. I am heartened
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001315to hear that update because
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001316the current
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001317arrangement, at least, is that
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001318back already in the 90s,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001319the U.S. has already a bilateral agreement
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001320to receive hazardous waste
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001321from the Philippines and similar agreements
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001322with Malaysia and Costa Rica, but
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001323the opposite, where the U.S. will
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001324export or the Philippines will import
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001325such wastes,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001326none exists
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001327in the first place
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001328and an agreement like that would be
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001329the first time ever that the United States,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001330a country with the highest waste
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001331produced per capita in the world,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001332would sign a bilateral agreement
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001333to export hazardous
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001334wastes to a non-OECD
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001335country. So, Mr. Speaker, good
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001336sponsor, we'd like to just put that on record.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001337Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, my next
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001338question would be in relation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001339to visiting forces agreements
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001340with other countries that the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001341Philippines has entered into. We've
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001342noted that on March 26, 2026,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001343the Philippines and France
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001344signed another visiting
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001345forces agreement for our country,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001346which was later approved by the Senate Committee
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001347on Foreign Relations just last week.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001348September 10. Is the DFA
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001349aware of how many active VFAs
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001350the Philippines is currently
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001351party to? Which countries do we
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001352have VFAs with?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001353Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001354Mr. Speaker, the DFA
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001355has a record of five active
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001356VFAs as of
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001357the moment.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001358France is still for concurrence
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001359of the Senate of the Philippines.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001360Yes, it's just been approved by the committee level.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001361So, subsequent steps
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001362would have to follow.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001363But to
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001364ask for an update,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001365what are the five
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001366VFAs we have
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001367and with which countries?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001368Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001369as of the moment, we have
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001370the United States, Australia,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001371Japan, and
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001372Canada. And New
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001373Zealand. I'm sorry, I stand corrected, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001374Is the Japan-Philippines
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001375reciprocal access agreement
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001376similar to the VFA? If not,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001377how does it differ, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001378good sponsor? It's practically
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001379the same, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001380Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001381may we just ask that the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001382answers to these questions be
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001383submitted by a report, a
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001384written report for the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001385appreciation of this representation?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001386We'll do so, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001387Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001388good sponsor, my next
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001389question would be
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001390the reports that
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001391the United States President Donald
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001392Trump would be visiting in
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001393November. So I'd like
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001394to ask and
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001395clarify with the DFA,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001396will the U.S.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001397President Donald Trump visit the Philippines
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001398by November this year?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001399Mr. Speaker, there is no
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001400official confirmation yet
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001401and I believe
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001402it is for us
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001403to wait for the
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001404announcement by the
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001405Executive or by the Office of the
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001406President should that
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001407historic visit
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001408come to reality, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001409But, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, to clarify,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001410an invitation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001411has already been extended, correct?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001412Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001413the DFA cannot
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001414confirm any information
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001415about the possible visit of
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001416President Trump in the
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001417Philippines. If there's an
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001418invitation extended
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001419or if there is a
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001420confirmation of his coming,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001421the DFA cannot make any
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001422comments on that for now, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001423May I ask why,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001424Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001425Mr. Speaker, we leave it to the Office of the
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001426President to make such
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001427announcements, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001428We've noted this because it's already
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001429essentially
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001430public information as
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001431Malacanang has confirmed
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001432that invitation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001433and at least the United States
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001434is at the level of
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001435contemplation. So,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001436I'd just like to ask,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001437is there any preparations that the DFA
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001438is undertaking should that visit
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001439happen?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001440Is there any budget earmarked by the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001441DFA on
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001442diplomatic protocols, etc.,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001443that it must
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001444undertake should the U.S. President
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001445Donald Trump
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001446follow through on that visit?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001447Mr. Speaker, the DFA maintains
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001448that there is no confirmation
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001449yet from
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001450Malacanang, but
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001451yes, the DFA confirms that
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001452there has been some
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001453preparations in the event
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001454that President Trump will be visiting
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001455our country in November.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001456And there is already an existing
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001457budget for that
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001458in every year,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001459in every annual
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001460budget, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001461There is some MOE
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001462allotted for
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001463visits of
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001464presidents from other countries
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001465or visitors from other countries, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001466May we, may this representation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001467be enlightened as to
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001468the ballpark figure
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001469that the DFA
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001470allots from its MOE, should there
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001471be heads of state
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001472that visit
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001473the Philippines?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001474And is this
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001475the amount that the DFA
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001476is expected to
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001477use
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001478for the visit of the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001479president, should it happen?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001480Mr. Speaker, for the year 2026,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001481there is a 20 million
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001482budget for foreign
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001483dignitaries visits
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001484under the GAA of
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001485the Department of Foreign Affairs. So,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001486manggagaling lang doon po yung expenses for the preparation, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001488At hindi pa naman po depleted ito this year, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, na kailangan ng reallocation or realignment para po ma-ensure yung [unclear] ng bisita?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001493As of now, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001494hindi pa po nagre-request ang DFA.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001496but on top of that,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001497the office of the president also has
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001498its own budget for
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001499such activities, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001500Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001501if there is
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001502a report that can just be
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001503provided to this representation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001504as to the remaining
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001505amount of
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001506that item
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001507na paggagamitan po ng pagpondo ng bisita kung ito ay tumuloy. This representation would like to request a copy. Would that be possible, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001516Willingly so, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001522I would like to clarify
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001523that the 20 million budget,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001524Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001525is not limited only to
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001526the visit of
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001527the president
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001528this coming November,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001529but it also
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001530is utilized for other
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001531foreign dignitaries
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001532who are coming to the Philippines.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001533Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001534good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001535my last question would be
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001536in relation to
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001537an issue I would like to raise about,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001538the questions that I've propounded in the budget briefing.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001539specifically on the Critical Minerals Agreement or the MOU that the Philippines entered into with the United States
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001540which the DFA said it's with other MOUs that the U.S. entered into with other countries in relation to the Critical Minerals Summit.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001541We have had the opportunity to peruse the MOU and we'd like to clarify certain points.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001542For example, the MOU states first look privilege in jointly identifying mining and processing projects which the U.S. enjoys under Article 2C.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001543And under Article 2B, financing is apparently even contingent.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001544On exporting minerals to the U.S. and under Articles 5 and 7, the Philippines is effectively restricted from pursuing other trade and investment partners for our own mineral resources.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001545This seems to me an agreement where the U.S. greatly benefits from the minerals of the Philippines
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001546and any arrangement reciprocally or vice versa is hard to imagine
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001547given our...
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001548state of
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001549criticals mineral framework that it's only being
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001550implemented now apparently.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001551So I'd like to clarify
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001552is there a provision in this MOU where the Philippines enjoys a comparable right
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001553in the United States where we have first priority to invest in American mines
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001554where we can dictate the destination of American mineral exports
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001555and where the U.S. government is...
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001556compelled to provide strategic geological data to us.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001557Mr. Speaker, is the good Congresswoman talking about the memorandum of agreement which was signed on February 4
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001558by the Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources for the Philippines and the Undersecretary of State for Economic Affairs for the United States?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001559Is that correct, Mr. Speaker?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001560Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001561Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001562We have a memorandum of agreement which the DFA in the budget briefing on record stated that it's in the purview of the DINR
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001563but nonetheless it is...
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001564it is this representation stands that given that it is a bilateral arrangement generally
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001565we requested that DFA essentially try to look at its implications
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001566whether it for in foreign relations or how it affects our development.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001567of the agreements we can have with other countries.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001571Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001572as to the details of
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001573the MOU,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001574we believe that it is
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001575the agency
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001576who represented the Philippines
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001577in the signing of the MOU
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001578who
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001579could better
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001580explain and
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001581answer the contents of
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001582such MOU, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001583In any case,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001584kakaroon naman po ng hearing
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001585mamaya sa DANR
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001586with Congressman
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001587Repito Alvarez
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001588as the sponsor.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001589So, mas
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001590mainam po,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001591the DFA maintains that
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001592it has reviewed the contents
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001593and it is
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001594as far as the DFA
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001595is concerned,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001596wala naman po
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001597problema, Mr. Speaker, but as to
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001598the details of such
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001599MOU,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001600it would be
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001601it feels
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001602that the DANR is
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001603the more appropriate agency
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001604to answer these questions,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001605Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001606Mr. Speaker, good sponsor given that
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001607the sponsor
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001608acceded that the DFA actually
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001609reviewed the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001610text and the contents
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001611and this representation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001612put forth that
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001613we're concerned na may ilang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001614artikulo dito na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001615mas marami tayong binibigay
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001616na benepisyo sa ibang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001617bansa kaysa po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001618may
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001619benepisyong makukuha tayo
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001620galing sa kanila.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001621Generally, sa pagpasok
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001622po ng mga agreements,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001623treaties, we're hoping
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001624that we observe reciprocity
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001625kung saan may
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001626pagkapantay-pantay doon
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001627sa terms,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001628benefits,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001629agreements, commitments, etc.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001630It is this representation's
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001631observation, which
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001632I hope maybe the DFA, because
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001633it has the opportunity to review,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001634looks like mas malaki
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001635ang ganansya ng kabilang bansa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001636kaysa sa atin.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001637So, my question, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001638good sponsor, ano po bang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001639binibigay ng US sa atin that
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001640comes even close to
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001641what we are providing, what we are
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001642I'd like to say, surrendering.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001643And how can this, despite this
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001644being a non-binding agreement,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001645can be considered a win
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001646for Philippine sovereignty
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001647when the asymmetry in power
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001648and leverage is so obvious?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001649Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001650the DFA maintains that
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001651the MOU is
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001652mutually beneficial
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001653and it is not detrimental
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001654to the
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001655Philippines
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001656and it
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001657agrees with
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001658the DANR as to
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001659the terms and the
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001660conditions that they agreed
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001661to and stipulated in the MOU.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001662Nevertheless, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001663the DFA
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001664also finds
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001665it advantageous to the
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001666Philippines
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001667should this
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001668push through

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001846While the central authority of the Philippines here is the Department of Social Welfare and Development,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001847may we know what the role of the DFA is in implementing the obligation of the DSWD in this aspect.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001848Mr. Speaker, the role of the DFA is to facilitate the negotiations of the agreement.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001849And if there are letters of endorsements, Mr. Speaker, it goes through the DFA.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001850Now, Mr. Speaker, in response to these applications for child support or spousal support or any other form of support for family maintenance,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001852Is the service free for the DFA for this?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001853Are there any payments for those who are applying for different kinds of support that are needed?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001854Supporta na ito.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001855Mr. Speaker, pag nag-a-apply po sila abroad, wala pong pinapabayad on the part of the Philippines at the DFA.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001856Maari po ba natin malaman kung saan kinukuha ng DFA ang pondo para dito?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001857Kung walang binabayaran ang mga aplikante, ano yung relevant sa atin na line item para matiyak na lahat ng aplikante walang kahit anong binabayaran?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001859Mr. Speaker, yung mga minimal expenses po galing na po sa MOOE ng DFA, but
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001860for other expenses,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001861it is under the DSWD.

asr-001908kayo ditong assessment
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001909sa kung ano yung mga gaps
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001910sa implementation?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001911We're reviewing the data
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001912counting the number of countries
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001913as we speak.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001914Mr. Speaker, hihingi na lang po natin
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001915sa ating distinguished sponsor at
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001916Yes, that would be best.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001917Yes, kung we will,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001918the DFA will forward it to the
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001919office of our good colleague, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001920Mahalaga ito, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001921dahil marami din pong lumalapit
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001922sa inyong representasyon
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001923pagdating sa ganitong tipo
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001924ng mga requests.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001925na marami talaga silang kahirapan kung paano ba makakatulong din yung ibang mga jurisdictions
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001926sa panahon na may ganitong treaty in effect na pwede namang may mutual legal assistance
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001927pero hirap pa rin sila na mahabol kung sino ba yung dapat mahabol pagdating sa child or spousal support.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001928Ngayon naman, Mr. Speaker, pagdating naman sa mga gender and development focal persons
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001929sa kada embahada o sa mga consulates at offices ng DFA sa ibang bansa.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001930May we know from the distinguished sponsor, how does the DFA ensure that responses of all these embassies
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001931and consulates to gender-based issues within their offices
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001932and to those brought up to them by Filipinos abroad are gender-responsive and gender-sensitive?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001933Mr. Speaker, for 2025 and 2026, there's approximately 7.1 million annually allocated for gender and development
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001934under the office of the DFA and among the events organized,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001935include Women in Diplomacy Book, Regional Training on GAD Planning,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal

Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001939and Support for GAD Activities of FSPS, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001940So, just like any other activities being conducted here in the Philippines,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001941dumadaan po ito sa proseso, Mr. Speaker, through a project proposal,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001942and after the activity, there's a post-evaluation, and the expenses po dumadaan din po sa Commission on Audit, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001943Mr. Speaker, bukod dun sa mismong training na binibigay natin,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001944narinig ko ho, may leadership training tungkol sa gender sensitivity,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001945sa kaalaman din sa awareness tungkol sa iba't-ibang mga issues na may kinalaman sa gender,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001946and development, meron din po ba tayong referral system sa ngayon?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001947So, kapag may lumapit, magsumbong, nagreklamo sa ating mga offices,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001948sino po ang mga partners po ninyo para matiyak na kung kailangan ng psychosocial support,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001949kung kailangan ng legal assistance, ay meron po nga na ibibigay po tayong information kung saan lalapit ang ating mga kababayan?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001950Mr. Speaker, there is a point person for these activities and for concerns raised by our kababayans na nagpapatulong po
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001951for violence and other forms of attacks, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001952And yung partner po ng DFA, one of the partners is the Philippine Commission on Women, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001953In fact, the department was recognized by the PCW as one of the top three performers,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001954performing agencies out of more than 300 national government agencies, Mr. Speaker, for the fiscal year 2024.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001955Maraming salamat, Ginong Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001956At napaabot din po sa representasyon na ito, halimbawa, ng DMW, para dun sa mga lugar na meron silang offices,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001957nagre-request po sila ng dagdag na pondo para sa health care professionals
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001958na pwede nilang matap, na meron silang pondo, na pwede nilang mapagkunan sa panahon na kinakailangan nilang magtap
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001959ng professional based on a particular jurisdiction.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001960Sa party po ba ng DFA, para dun sa mga lugar na wala pa tayong migrant workers office,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001961may ganito rin ba na parehong kahilingan na matiyak na meron kayong mapagkukunang pondo
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001962sa panahon na kinakailangan nilang magtap.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001963Sa mga professionals based on that area, para po agaran yung maibigay natin na tulong.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001964Mr. Speaker, sakaling magkukulang po yung GED budget which is mandated to be 5% of the total budget of the department
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001965for the MOOE, Mr. Speaker, sakaling kailangan po ng additional na pondo
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001966or
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001967may mga nangangailangan po tayo, may mga kababayan po tayo nangangailangan ng tulong.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001968Doon na po ginagamit yung ATN Fund and Legal Assistance Fund, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001969Maraming salamat, Ginoong Speaker. At nakita rin po natin sa utilization ng ATN.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001970Meron pa tayong mga maaaring magamit. Kaya sana po kapag may dumulog sa atin,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001971at marami din po kami sa inyong mai-endorse kung sakali, pinag-uusapan lang po namin ng DMW
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001972kung paano po ang maayos na referral system, pero pa naway makasama rin po namin ng DFA
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001973para wala po tayong maiwan na lugar pagdating sa mga nangangailangan na agad na tulong sa mga kaso ng gender-based violence.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001974Ngayon naman, pagdating po sa nilabas na Gender Development Agenda for 2023 hanggang 2028 ng DFA,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001975ang layunin po ba ng GAD agenda na ito, as sa tingin ninyo ay naaabot sa ngayon?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001976Ngayon, ano-ano pa yung mga hakbang at mga plano ng DFA para mapatupad ang layunin ng GAD agenda na ito hanggang 2028?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001977At kung meron din po kayong ulat kung ilan bang mga domestic violence at gender-based violence cases ang nahandle ng DFA simula 2022,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001978ay hihiligin po ito ng representasyon mula Gabriela Women's Party.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001990Base dito ang lack of confidence ay nangyayari dahil sa seemingly ang kawalan po ng tiwala ng mga buboto sa epekto o visa ng kanilang pagboto.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001991Tama po ba ito?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-001992Yes, that's correct, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001993Nasabi rin ang ating ginoong sponsor na kailangan paalam sa mga voters natin na bawat boto ay mahalaga.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001994Every vote counts.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001995Paano po ito mapapakita ng DFA sa kanilang mga sariling awareness campaigns?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001996At bukod sa overseas online voting,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001997na consistently mababa, lalong-lalong na pag midterm elections.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001998Sa tingin nyo po ba, mga ngailangan ngayon ng hybrid pa na pamamaraan ulit,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001999na mabalik natin na meron pa rin option para sa in-person voting,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002000meron pa rin option by post, at ngayon may bago ng modality ng voting.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002001Pwede na rin bumoto online.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002002Ito po ba ay susuportahan ng DFA na magkaroon tayo ng pagtulak sa Kongreso
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002003na tiyakin na lahat ng available na modes, depende sa jurisdiction,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002004available, accessible sa ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002005Mr. Speaker, the thrust of the COMELEC, which is the lead agency in the conduct of elections,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002006is to go 100% online.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002007Except for three countries.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002008And the DFA supports this initiative sa pamamagitan po ng pagkandak ng mga nasabi po,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002009mga training and information campaigns and dissemination outreach,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002010personally communicating with our kababayan OFWs to inform them,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002011to explain to them of the process and the importance and the sanctity of their votes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002012Mr. Speaker, maaaring bang mag-host ng mga focus group discussions or consultation ang DFA tungkol dito?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002013Kasi po, kung sa bahagi lang po namin at i-share po namin sa inyong office na marami po talagang nananawagan
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002014na kung pwede maging available pa rin yung ibang forma ng mga pagboto para sa mga Filipinos living and working overseas.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002015Ang mahalaga po na marinig mismo yung kanilang mga pangangailangan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002016Tulad ng nasabi ng atin,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002017ating distinguished sponsor, maaaring varying degrees po yan ng necessity pagdating sa variety sa iba't ibang mga lugar.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002018Kaya, ang maganda lang, yung pinakaunang dapat natin makausap tungkol sa bagay na ito ay nakonsulta natin.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002019Mr. Speaker, the Comelec discusses, consults with the DFA,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002020pero yung nag-de-decide po talaga,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002021is the Comelec.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002022So, the DFA, they just merely inform the OFWs or the registered voters on the process approved by the Comelec, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002023Maraming salamat. At ginaw, Speaker, ang ulat sa atin ng Comelec, ang laki din ng budget cut nila
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002024pagdating sa public information, voters' education, lalong-lalo na sa online.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002025Wala po silang pondo para mag-conduct.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002026Ang mga satellite registration sa ibang bansa.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002027Dito pa lang sa Pilipinas, hirap na sila mag-conduct ng satellite registration.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002028Paano pa kaya sa ibang bansa?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002029Para tumulong sa DFA, para magkaroon din ng dagdag na effort, not only for registration but enrollment.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002030Yun po kasi ang difference ngayon ng online voting system.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002031Hindi sapat na registered ka, kailangan mo pang mag-enroll dun sa mismo system kung saan ka buboto.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002032Ayan, kaya ho, ibabalik ko po ang hamon siguro dito sa ating kapulungan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002033Na bigyang prioridad yung pag-aaral ng kung paano natin mas mapapataas pa yung turnout
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002034sa dami ng mga Pilipino na nabubuhay at nagtatrabaho po sa iba yung dagat.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002035Ngayon naman at bilang panghuli, kasama din sa ulat ng DFA yung tungkol sa pagkondukta ng diplomatic actions,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002036lalong-lalo na kapag may kinalaman sa International Maritime Organization.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002037Tungkol sa...
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002038Kapalaran at kapakanan ng ating mga Filipino seafarers.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002039Sa mga usapang diplomatiko, meron ba ang DFA na hakbang upang masigurado na kapag ang mga Filipino seafarers ay protektado sa blacklisting,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002040kapag ginamit nila ang right to refuse sailing?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002041Yes, Mr. Speaker, tuloy-tuloy po ang communication ng DFA with other countries,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002042on how to protect the welfare of all, not just the seafarers, but of all overseas Filipinos working abroad, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002043Maraming salamat. At ang panawagan natin, palakasin natin yung mga mekanismo para protektahan talaga sa blacklisting itong mga seafarers.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002044Kasi ang nangyayari daw kapag sila ay meron ng record na sila ay inexercise ang kanilang right to refuse sailing,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002045pagbalik po nila dito sa Pilipinas, pag-aalis na sila ulit.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002046So, nagkakagulatan na lang na bawal na sila, umalis o na-blacklist na sila, o hindi na po sila makapag-readme ng kanilang mga kontrata.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002047Na ilapit na rin natin ito sa DMW at naway makasama din po natin ang DFA sa pagpapalakas ng proteksyon, pagtataguyod ng karapatan ng ating Filipino seafarers.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002048Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker. Maraming salamat sa ating distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002049At would the distinguished sponsor and the DFA commit to a dialogue?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002050And to strengthen the protections and ensure that the voices of the Filipino seafarers are heard on this important matter?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002051Maraming salamat.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-002052Thank you very much, Honorable Elago, Majority Leader.
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon
asr-002053Mr. Speaker, next to interpellate the sponsor, I move to recognize Representative Antonio L. Tinio of ACT Teachers Partylist.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-002054Representative Antonio L. Tinio from ACT Teachers Partylist is recognized to interpellate the sponsor. Please proceed, sir.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002055Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002056Para sa sponsor po, ilang katanungan tungkol po sa haze.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002057Kanina umaga, pag gising ko po at nakatira po ako sa mataas na building.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002058So medyo natatanaw natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002059Nang malayo, nagkita-kita na po yung usok, yung haze.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002060Nagaling po ako recently, a few weeks ago.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002061sa Iloilo, sa Bacolod, sorry, sa Bacolod at saka sa Cebu.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002062At ganoon din po, yun ang kwento rin sa akin na problema nila.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002063Araw-araw, yung haze, problema ng haze.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002064Sabi po sa news reports,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002065pinakamalala sa buong daigdig ang haze,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002066yung usok, makapal na usok na nanggagaling mula sa Indonesia,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002067sa buong mundo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002068Worst in 11 years.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002069At napakalala na po ng kalagayan na nung September 1,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002070ang Quezon City po, nagsuspend ng klase.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002071Anong dahilan?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002072Hindi dahil sa bagyo, hindi dahil sa baha, kundi dahil sa haze.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002073Umabot na po sa as high as 265,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002074yung air quality index, na-register yan sa Paranaque,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002075sa Las Piñas,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002076245,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002077Quezon City,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002078237,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002079itong dahilan kung ba't nagsuspend sila.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002080Sa Metro Cebu,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002081September 3, umabot sa 252.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002082Ano yung levels na yan?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002083Acutely unhealthy.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002084Delikado na po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002085Lalo na para sa mga bata,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002086para sa mga buntis,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002087sa matatanda,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002088para sa may sakit sa puso at sakit sa baga.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002089Siguro obvious naman, napakatindi po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002090nang problemang ito at napakalaki ng pinsala sa kalusugan sa araw-araw
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002091ng milyong-milyong mga Pilipino.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002092Pinsala sa kalusugan, pinsala sa ating environment.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002093Kung nakita po siguro ninyo yun, yung mga images,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002094satellite photos talagang tumatalokbong
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002095sa buong Pilipinas.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002096Sa buong kapuluan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002097Yung usok mula sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002098wildfires
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002099ng Indonesia.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002100Ano nga po ba, first of all, ano po ba ang dahilan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002101kung bakit
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002102may ganyang mga sunog
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002103sa Indonesia
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002104na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002105pumipinsala na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002106sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002107araw-araw na buhay
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002108ng mga kapitbahay na bansa nito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002109Ano po ba yung dahilan?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002110Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002111the DFA cannot confirm
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002112kung ano po talaga yung
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002113ginagawa nila sa Indonesia
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002114kung bakit po nagkakaroon ng sunog.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002115But, it has been going on
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002116for the past several years.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002117It's just unfortunate that this year,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002118medyo mas nararamdaman po natin
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002119dito sa Pilipinas yung
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002120effect ng haze.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002121But, in the prior years po,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002122yung epekto nito sa Malaysia,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002123Singapore and other
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002124neighboring countries,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002125ASEAN countries,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002126ramdam na ramdam po.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002127So, that is why it is already being discussed
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002128in the ASEAN level,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002129Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002130Yes, indeed it is, and we'll get to that.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002131Pero, yung dahilan, for the record,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002132Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002133alam naman nito, this is
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002134general knowledge,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002135the wildfires are, ang importante
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002136may establish dito, dahil sa tao yan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002137So, in other words, hindi ito
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002138aksidente, hindi
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002139ito due to natural
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002140causes, pangunahin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002141dahil sa ginagawa ng tao.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002142Specifically, the palm oil
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002143industry in Indonesia.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002144Every year,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002145sinusunog nila
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002146ang napakalawak
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002147ng mga kalupaan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002148para makapagtanim uli
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002149ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002150palm,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002151ng mga puno na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002152pinagagalingan ng palm oil.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002153Yung palm oil, alam natin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002154sa maraming mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002155food products,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002156nandiyan po yan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002157yung palm oil.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002158At isa sa mga pinakamalaking
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002159agricultural
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002160products and exports ng Indonesia,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002161ang palm oil.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002162So, sinusunog po, parang sa atin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002163nakakaigin, kaya lang dito,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002164on a massive, unimaginable scale,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002165ang pag-clear nila,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002166particular sa mga isla
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002167ng Borneo
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002168at Sumatra,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002169yung Borneo,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002170yung, sa particular,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002171yung hati ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002172Borneo na nasa Indonesia,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002173yung Kalimantan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002174tsaka yung Sumatra.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002175Doon po nangyayari. At dahil po sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002176habagat,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002177southwest, ayun, no, mula sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002178southwest, ay nadadala
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002179dito ang usok.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002180At,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002181alam nyo po ba kung hanggang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002182kailan daw magpapatuloy
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002183ang haze na ito?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002184Ito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002185Dapat alam ng DFA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002186And I'll get to why
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002187later.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002188Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002189mas alam po ng DNR
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002190yung sagot kung hanggang kailan po ito
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002191maramdaman dito sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002192ating bansa.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002193Well, unfortunately,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002194hindi po katanggap-tanggap yun.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002195Dahil, why do I say so?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002196Because, the DFA,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002197of course,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002198would know merong kasunduan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002199sa ASEAN
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002200kaugnay sa haze.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002201Hindi po ba?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002202Yes, that's correct.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002203Ano po yung kasunduan na ito?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002204Mr. Speaker, in 2002,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002205nagkaroon ng ASEAN
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002206Agreement on Transboundary
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002207Haze Pollution.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002208Correct.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002209And, it created
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002210the ASEAN
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002211Coordinating
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002212Council for Trans
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002213Boundary Haze Pollution.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002214Control, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002215In fact, hindi po ba
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002216sa Manila pa pinirmahan yun?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002217Yung pangalawang agreement na yan?
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002218They're reviewing
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002219the records, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002220Sa Manila po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002221Okay. Yung pangalawa, the one
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002222creating the...
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002223Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002224it was signed in
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002225Malaysia in the...
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-00222610th of June
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-0022272002. Yung agreement po,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002228Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002229Yes, yung agreement. The mother agreement
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002230in 2002. But anyway,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002231sige po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002232So, merong agreement.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002233What does the agreement provide?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002234So, in other words, as early as
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0022352002, ay kinilala na po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002236na problema
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002237yung Transboundary Pollution.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002238Transboundary Haze Pollution.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002239Dahil nga,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002240ano talaga,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002241kalakaran
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002242sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002243at mahalagang bahagi ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002244ekonomiya, lalo na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002245ng Indonesia, itong
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002246palm oil at pagsusunog
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002247ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002248kagubatan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002249At ang nangyari po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002250Mr. Speaker, habang nag-uusap pa sila,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002251nasusunog hindi lang yung mga puno,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002252kundi pati yung lupa.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002253So, yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002254the large parts of the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002255kaya malala po, dahil hindi lang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002256yung mga puno ang sinusunog, pati yung lupa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002257nasusunog. Swamp plants
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002258dahil sa drought,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002259tagtuyot,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002260kaya nangyari po talaga to

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002267yung bulok na yung lupa na yun,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002268nagiging flammable.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002269Kaya ganyan po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002270hindi po kalala
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002271at kalaganap ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002272apoy at ang usok.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002273So, again,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002274what does the ASEAN

asr-002283Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002284Pakit ulit lang po, sorry.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002288Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002289the agreement
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002290establishes ang nasasabi po sa
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002291based on the agreement,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002292based on the agreement, it establishes

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002304Correct.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002305And that includes
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002306information sharing, early
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002307warning. Kaya po kanina, nung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002308tinanong ko, hanggang kailan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002309nito, hindi po pwede sabihin ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002310DFA, well, tanong
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002311natin sa DNR. Kayo po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002312ang unang pagsasabihan, dahil
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002313hindi rin malalaman ng DNR,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002314galing sa Indonesia eh.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002315No? Paano mamonitor
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002316ng DNR yun?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002317Kayo po ang unang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002318talaluyan ng informasyon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002319Kaya po, very telling na ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002320sagot ng DFA ay
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002321di po natin alam, tanong natin sa DNR.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002322Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002323on the agreement, it is
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002324stated that the Philippines is
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002325represented institutionally
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002326by the Department of Environment and
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002327National Resources
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002328or the DNR, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002329Kaya the DFA maintains
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002330na
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002331yung DNR po talaga ang
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002332supposedly
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002333nag-coordinate and nabigyan
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002334ng early warning about
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002335this hazardous
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002336pollution.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002337So ang sinasabi nyo po, pinaubayan nyo na sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002338DNR, problema na nila to.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002339Even though this is a
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002340transnational agreement, an
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002341ASEAN agreement, ay
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002342well, ewan ko anong ginagawa nila.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002343Mr. Speaker, it is
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002344an ASEAN agreement, but the Philippines
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002345again is represented by the
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002346DNR. So sila po yung
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002347unang nakakaalam at
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002348nakakakuha ng informasyon. Dapat based
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002349on the agreement,
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002350Mr. Speaker, and more so that
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002351they are the most
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002352capable agency and
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002353body to
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002354evaluate
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002355the information received
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002356on this hazardous
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002357pollution, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002358Just for purposes of discussion,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002359ang agreement po, sabi, one,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002360Article 3.1, Rule Against
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002361Harm. So
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002362basically,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002363may obligasyon ang bawat
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002364member
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002365state na party
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002366dito
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002367to ensure
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002368that activities within its territory
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002369do not damage the environment
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002370or harm the health of people
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002371in other states. So obligasyon
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002372yon mainly on the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002373on each country. So in this case,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002374Indonesia, may obligasyon sila.
Rep. Sancho Fernando "Ando" F. Oaminal
asr-002375That's correct, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002376And then Article 4.2,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002377um,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002378where
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002379haze originates
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002380in a party's territory, that party
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002381must respond promptly to a
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002382request for information or
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002383consultations from an affected
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002384state. So yun po, ah.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002385Mabalikan natin yon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002386And then, a right to be warned.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002387Article 8.3,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002388ah, the ASEAN Center must give each
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002389party, through its focal point,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002390an assessment of risks to human health
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002391and environment.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002392Article 18.2, a right to call
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002393a meeting. Pwede tayong
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002394humingi ng meeting, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002395Um,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002396an extraordinary conference
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002397of parties, yun ang tawag nila.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002398Any, any state may initiate
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002399that.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002400Ah, and
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002401of course,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002402ang pinaka-weakness nung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002403agreement na ito,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002404as with all
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002405many ASEAN agreements,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002406yung pinaka
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002407dispute resolution mechanism,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002408no? Malinaw, napipinsala
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002409ang Pilipinas.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002410Hindi lang ang Pilipinas.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002411Yung mga kapitbahing na bansa, of course,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002412ang malapit, Malaysia, Singapore,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002413no? At iba pa,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002414apektado rin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002415No? So, dapat may dispute resolution
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002416mechanism, kaya, but typical
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002417of ASEAN, yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002418Article 27, isang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002419linya lang, basically, which says that
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002420dispute shall be settled amicably
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002421by
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002422consultation or negotiation.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002423So, ang sinasabi ng marami, eh wala
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002424talagang ngipin. As with
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002425many ASEAN agreements.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002426However, within this framework,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002427may mga pwedeng gawin. And in fact,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002428what are other
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002429countries doing?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002430Ibang mga gobyerno.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002431No? Dahil nga, ilang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002432buwan na naapektuhan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002433ng napaka-kapal na usok,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002434ibang mga gobyerno may ginagawa.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002435Of course, yung Indonesia,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002436may ginagawa sila. Sila ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002437pangunahing
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002438pinanggagalingan. Nasa kanila ang problema.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002439Mga malalaking
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002440negosyo nila. Ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002441ang dahilan dito,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002442so, first of all,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002443they're trying to
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002444fight the fires.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002445No? A major effort.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002446Ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002447humingi na rin ng tulong sa ibang mga bansa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002448para sugpuin yung mga apoy.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002449Yung paglaganap ng apoy.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002450According
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002451to reports, they've suspended 26
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002452corporate licenses
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002453of these palm

asr-002454oil growers.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002455Ah, arrests have been made.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002456Ah, they submit
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002457daily situation reports
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002458as required under
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002459the agreement. Ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002460and according to them,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002461more than 12.5 million
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002462of its own people
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002463have been exposed and
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002467bansa. Okay, that's Indonesia.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002468Kailangan talaga may gawin sila.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002469Okay?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002470How about Malaysia? Kapitbahay.

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-003139Madam Vice Chair, you have the floor.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003140Mr. Speaker, distinguished members of the House of Representatives,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003141ladies and gentlemen,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003142maupay nga aga haatan nga tanan.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003143It is my privilege to sponsor the proposed budget of the Movie Television Review and Classification Board
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003144for Fiscal Year 2020.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003145MTRCB, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 1986,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003146is mandated to review and classify film and television programs as to audience suitability.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003147The MTRCB's strategic direction focuses on enhancing efficiency,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003148modernizing operations,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003149engaging the public,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003150and ensuring regulatory effectiveness
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003151to meet the evolving needs of the media industry
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003152and safeguard the interest and welfare of our viewers.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003153Being a self-sustaining agency,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003154the MTRCB is allowed to utilize its income to fund its MOUE and capital outlay.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003155Hence, only the amount of $49,000,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003156$9,987 million for personal services is being asked for approval by Congress today.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003157Mr. Speaker,

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003168Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003169And, of course, to our MTRCB family and to our distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003170My first question, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003171the MTRCB continues to operate principally under PD No. 1986,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003172which was issued in 1985
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003173before streaming services, video-on-demand platforms,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003174social media,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003175and user-generated content,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003176and content became major sources of entertainment.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003177While conventional films and television programs
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003178are subject to MTRCB review and classification,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003179the Board has acknowledged that its current authority
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003180does not expressly extend to platforms such as Netflix,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003181Disney,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003182HBO Max,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003183and TV.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003186In September 2026,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003187the MTRCB stated that
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003188it was prepared to regulate streaming services
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003189if Congress expands its jurisdiction.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003190My question, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003191given the public's increasing reliance on streaming services,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003192does the MTRCB believe that presidential decree numbering,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003193No. 1986, remains adequate or should Congress now modernize its mandate?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003194Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003195it is correct that the MTRCB should remain
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003196and that we should expand the scope of the MTRCB
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003197so that all platforms or content
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003198can be addressed.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003199Because as of now,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003200the presidential decree numbering No. 1986
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003201is only concerned with not all.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003202So, we should have a new House Bill
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003203to expand the scope of the MTRCB, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003204Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003205you know what? Because of the new platform po kasi,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003206lahat ho tayo
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003207hindi na nagpupunta ng sinehan,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003208bihira na.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003209Of course, I remember vividly, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003210back then when I was in high school, college,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003211ano, panonood pa ni
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003212Eddie Garcia
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003213noong mga araw-araw nasa sinehan ako.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003214I'm a Sharon Cuneta fan.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003215Lahat ng pelikula niya,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003216from The Heart,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003217hanggang ano, pinanonood namin.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003218Pero ngayon,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003219sorry, pero ngayon,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003220tuwing Christmas na lang tayo
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003221nakakapanood, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003222So it's a dying industry
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003223na dapat
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003224natin
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003225palakasin.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003227That's why, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003228Madam Sponsor,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003229noon pa man,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003230I've been advocating
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003231na dapat palakasin natin
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003232ang ating local industry,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003233lalo na itong MTRCB,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003234because MTRCB,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003235Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003236hawak lang niya
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003237TV and television,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003238TV and, of course, the movie, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003239Like in Korea,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003240meron sinatawag,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003241ng Korean Media
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003242Rating Board
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003243kung saan, pati concert
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003244no
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003245ay dumaadan sa kanila at meron silang kita rito.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003246So dito po ang MTRCB, if they rely only on a meager budget po,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003247so paano nila mapapatupad ang kanilang mandato?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003248Lalo ngayon, wala na po nanonood sa sinihan.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003249Birang-birang na po.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003250So ano ba ang pwedeng gawin ng MTRCB?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003251What particular gaps in the present law prevent the MTRCB from responding to complaints involving streaming content?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003252Under PD 1986, kaya ba nyo?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003253Balik din po tayo.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003254Isa lang yung sagot dyan.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003255Dahil nga po sa decree ng 1986 na nanatiling movie and television lang po ang sakop nila.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003256Kaya hinihikayat ko po ang Kongreso,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003257na magtulungan tayo upang masuportahan at mapalawak ang mithiin po ng MTRCB
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003258na maging sakop din po nila yung iba-ibang platform para po magkaroon tayo
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003259ng pinakamaayos at dekalidad na mga palabas.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003260At kaya naman po nilang...
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003261Tugunan ang MTRCB lahat, hindi lang movies, hindi lang television, kahit ho yung Netflix, kayang-kaya po nila yan.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003262And I have faith na talagang gagawin ito dahil naniniwala po ang MTRCB sa sining nating mga Pilipino.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003263Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003264Thank you, Mrs. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003265My follow-up question, Madam Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003266Does the MTRCB recommend simply amending Presidential Decree No. 1986?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003267Enacting an entirely new MTRCB Charter or creating a separate law governing online audiovisual services?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003268Kailangan ko ba natin pala...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003269We all know that we're going to make sure that ang PD 1986 eh parang kulang sa ngipin, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003270So do we need a separate law para ito sa mga online audiovisual services?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003271Ay kailangan masama under ng MTRCB?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003272Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003273Tama po kayo.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003274Gusto ko po doon sa sinasabi nyo na kailangan ng panibagong batas para dito.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003275Para po tama kayo na itong ngipin na sinasabi nyo na parang dalawa lang yung nasasakupan.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003276So kung magkakaroon tayo ng bagong batas,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003277sa pamamigitan ng support natin dito,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003278sa House of Representatives,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003279ay mapapalawak po natin ang saklaw, ang sakop po ng ahensya.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003280At maging content regulatory board po ang tawag doon.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003281So ito ho bang sample?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003282Netflix, HBO, Disney, at yung paborito ni Kong Jet, yung Viva Max.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003283Eh nakakuha ho ba kayo ng ano dito?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003284Kahit pa paano ng fees?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003285Share po pag ito po ino-online o nag-streaming sa ating bansa?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003286Wala po.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003287Ang MTRCB po ay talagang tinitinglan lang nila yung video and classification.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003288Kaya nga hinihikayat ko tayo dito na magtulungan para nga po magkaroon tayo ng panibagong batas.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003289Para masakop nila, masaklaw nila.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003290Yung lahat ng pinangalanan niyo kanina.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003291So in short, Mrs. Speaker, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003292Ah, ang MTRCB wala talagang ipin pagdating sa mga streaming neto.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003293Kasi ngayon, no, halos wala na nagpupunta ng siniyan, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003294Or bihira na manood ng TV, free TV.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003295So ano ang gusto niyong gawin na batas para maisama to?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003296Kasi ang number one dito, importante rito, itong mga kabataan.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003297Kasi dito, kung hindi niyo maka-classify, napakarami na ito.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003298I think you need AI para ma-
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003299Ilan ho ba ang nagka-classify sa MTRCB pagdating po dito sa mga streaming na ganito?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003300Ilan ba tayo?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003301Valley 31 po ang board members na tumitingin sa mga nag-review.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003302Kaya nga po, Mr. Chair,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003303kailangan po natin masuportahan para mas madami pa silang empleyado.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003304At kung gagawa tayo ng panibagong batas, mas malaki ang saklaw na ma-review po nila.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003305Hindi na lang yung television and movies.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003306Pati na rin po yung Vivamox, yung Netflix, kung ano pa man yung mga other social media platforms, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003307Ano mo, Mr. Chair, Mr. Speaker, nakakalunos naman ang MTRCB.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003308Napakarami ng mga streaming. Iba pa yung mga reels sa cellphone na lumalabas na kada pindot mo, nagbabayad sila.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003309Wala rin mo ba yung share doon sa mga reels na yan sa cellphone?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003310Sa mga movie platforms, walang share ang MTRCB.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003311Pero bagkos dahil sa marami silang nire-review, sila po ay self-generating agency.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003312Meron po silang 640 million na nasa treasury.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003313Ang supporta lang po na hinihingi nila sa atin ay 49.987 million na para po sa personal services.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003314So ini-encourage po natin, ako nag-i-encourage sa mga, to our dear colleagues,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003315na suportahan natin sila.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003316Kasi malaki ang naitutulong nila sa atin, sa ating bansa.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003317Thank you, Madam Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003318Mr. Speaker, where should the line be drawn between content properly regulated by the MTRCB
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003319and content that should remain under the jurisdiction of the Department of Information and Communication Technology or DICT
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003320and the National Telecommunications Commission?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003321Law enforcement agency or the platforms themselves?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003322Meron mo ba rin ba ang ibang agencies ng DICT, National Telecommunications Commission?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003323Nagka-classified din mo ba sila pagdating sa mga content neto?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003324Mr. Chair, magkaiba po yung functions ng agency na nabanggit ninyo kasi nga po, limited po yung function ng MTRCB.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003325Sa movie and television classification lang po.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003326Thank you, Madam Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003327Mr. Speaker, if Congress places streaming platforms under MTRCB, what regulatory framework does the Board recommend
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003328that will be effective without requiring prior government review of every title?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003331Meron po silang administrative regulatory powers at may feedback din po, mechanism.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003332But under PD-1986, you only covered television and movies, right?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003333Opo.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003334Eto, streaming ng platforms. So ano sa tingin mo ang pwede niyo i-recommenda?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003335So if we file a bill,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003336para pag naisama to, ano sa tingin mo ang magiging priority niyo o functions niyo dito?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003337Dapat po maging held accountable yung mga platform or agencies para po kapag may concerns, may i-address po natin lahat yun.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003338Mr. Speaker, right now, etong mga social media platforms o streaming neto,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003339may office na ba sila rito sa ating bansa?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003340I was sad to say wala po, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003341So wala sila?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003342Hindi po talaga sakop ng MTRCB yan.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003343So even though pinalalabas natin dito sa ating bansa ang kanilang mga streaming, wala?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003344Wala po. Kaya po, dapat ulitin ko, Mr. Chair, na supportahan natin sila sa panibagong batas para masakop po natin lahat ng constraints.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003345Mr. Speaker, nasa nang kanilang opisina? Huwag niyo sabihin sa Singapore na naman.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003346Meron din po doon.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003347Sa Singapore?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003348Yung Meta po.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003349Si Meta. That's why yesterday, Mr. Speaker, dinefer natin because ito na naman ang problema natin, ang Meta.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003350Remember last night, I think someone from DICT sinabi nga na number five users tayo when it comes to Meta.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003351When it comes to Meta platforms. And yet, wala silang opisina rito sa atin.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003352Opo.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003353So ito na naman ang tanong ko, kagaya na itong mga Netflix, HBO, wala na naman silang opisina. So, kumbaga, ibang bansa kumikita pero sila pinagkakakitaan tayo rito sa ating bansa.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003354I think it's high time, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, na dapat tayo magkaisa rito na palakasin natin ang MTRCB,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003356ang ating DICT, para itong mga foreigner na kumikita sa atin ay managot sila.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003358or mag-employ man lang ng empleyado rito sa ating bansa. Ibang bansa pa
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003359nakikinabang.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003360So again, Mr. Speaker, kailangan nating magkaisa rito. And believe me, no less than Kong Santos of Las Piñas,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003361sigurado akong magfa-file ng bill.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003362Together with Kong Gil Acosta.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003364Again, moving forward, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003365Madam, Mr. Speaker, ito pong mga complaints natin.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003366What sanctions should apply for repeated misclassification or failure to act on complaints?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003367Pwedeng pakiulit, Mr. Chair?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003368Yung mga, anong sanctions na ibinibigay natin sa mga repeat offender, yung mga misclassification,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003369meron mo bang dumarating sa inyo ng misclassification pag nagre-review kayo?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003370Na kunyari, sabi nila, itong peliko lang ito, rated PG, tapos pagdating may mga content pala
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003371na hindi nais-nais na mapanood ng mga, yung parental guidance na sinasabi natin.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003372Bago po natin mailagay on air,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003373nire-review po yan ng MTRCB.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003374From the start, talagang nire-review nila yun.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003375Mula noong 2025, pinalakas po ng MTRCB ang responsabling panunood campaign
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003376sa pamamagitan ng PROTECT framework.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003377Ang PROTECT framework po ay
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003378ang P, provide guidance on age-appropriate content.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003379Yung R, regulate.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003380A, create screen time and set healthy limits.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003381O, observe co-viewing and family discussions.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003382T, teach medial literacy.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003383And E, educate children on the impact of media.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003384And C, create a family viewing plan.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003385T, take the lead by setting a good example in content consumption.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003386So, yung PROTECT,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003387framework po,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003388Mr. Chair,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003389may baseline po sila dito.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003390May surveys,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003391bago yung programa.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003392Tapos, meron din post-engagement surveys
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003393pagkatapos ng programa.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003394Yung impact assessments sa mga komunidad
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003395na dating naabot ng programa.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003396Yun po yung mga ginagawa ng MTRCB.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003397Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003398Madam Sposo,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003399is it true that MTRCB has entered into voluntary arrangements
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003400with the streaming providers to promote responsible self-regulation,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003401age ratings, parental controls,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003402and personal identification number safeguards?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003403Talaga nag-
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003404Habang, Mr. Chair,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003405habang wala po tayong jurisdiction,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003406ang ginagawa ng MTRCB ay nagko-coordinate lang.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003407Sa Netflix at kung sa mga iba-iba pang platform,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003408yun po yung pinaka-mandato na kaya nilang gawin as of now.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003409Remember, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sposo,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003410the MTRCB's experience with voluntary cooperation
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003411are the parental controls and age restrictions
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003412presently used by streaming platforms
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003413is it actually effective in preventing children
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003414from accessing adult contents?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003415Ito po yung sinasabi ko na
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003416kung wala ho kayong mandato,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003417so paano natin, paano sila isa-sanctions
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003418when it comes yung accessibility ng mga
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003419mga kabataan natin na may adult contents?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003420Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003421Dahil nga po limitado yung saklaw ng MTRCB,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003422babalik pa rin po tayo doon sa napag-usapan natin kanina,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003423na kailangan magkaroon tayo ng panibagong batas
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003424para ho maging malawak yung saklaw ng ahensya.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003425Thank you, Madam Sposo.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003426Again, Mr. Speaker, I would like to reiterate
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003427our position or my position
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003428that the MTRCB must be given extra power
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003429or recalibrate their PD 1986, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003430Kasi...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003431PD, dapat Republic Act na tayo.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003432So, I myself will look
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003433into it. Na dapat
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-0034341985 pa
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003435tayo. If I'm not mistaken.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003436So, it's already antiquated. Medyo matagal
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003437na. Hindi na tayo, iba na
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003438ngayon eh. Iba na ang
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003439kumbaga,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003440hindi na naangkok yung
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003441mga batas noon
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003442sa kasalukoyan po. Lalo meron tayong
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003443mga streaming. So, I'm with you,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003444I support your budget,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003445MTRCBs. Even with the
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003446meager budget nyo, ay
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003447nagagapanan nyo pa rin
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003448ang inyong tungkulin.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003449But again, sana
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003450ang ating local industry,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003451lalo sa movies natin,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003452sana ay palakasin natin
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003453because it generates
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003454jobs, opportunities
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003455po sa ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003456Siguro, last quick question,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003457Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003458Can we have
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003459a model like in Korea, yung
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003460Korea Media
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003461Rating Board?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003462Pwede ba tayo, parang
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003463ganun ang dating natin? Instead of
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003464parang, so the, kasi

asr-003702Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003703Madam Sponsor, a few questions
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003704lamang po.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003705Unang-una ho pagdating po sa
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003706Do Not Amplify approach
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003707ng MTRCB.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay

Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003709nung September 11,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay

Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay

Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003712ng isang Do Not Amplify
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003713approach para sa violent
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay

asr-003720Maaari po bang
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003721ipaliwanag ng MTRCB kung paano
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003722ito maaaring maisagawa
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003723ng hindi kinakailangang isensor o
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003724alisin lahat ng content na legal
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003725namang available sa publiko?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003726Mr. Chair,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003727this is probably the most important
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003728policy change.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003729Do not try to
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003730regulate every violent
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003731post. Regulate the
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003732mechanisms that amplify
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003733harmful, violent
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003734content. This is
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003735increasingly the direction of
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003736international regulation
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003737under the
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003738EU Digital Services Act.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003739Very large platforms
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003740must assess systematic
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003741risks that take measures
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003742to mitigate risks
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003743arising from
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003744recommender systems,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003745including risk
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003746involving minors,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003747harmful content and physical
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003748and mental well-being.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003749Thus, the
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003750Philippine policy could require
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003751major platforms
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003752to address algorithmic
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003753applications of
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003754violent content. Pangalawa,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003755recommendation of increasingly
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003756extreme material.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003757Number three,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003758autoplay of
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003759violent videos.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003760Number four, viral
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003761circulation of graphic violence.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003762Number five,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003763monetization of violent
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003764content. And number six,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003765recommendation of violent
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003766material to minors.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003767This is much more
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003768defensible constitutionally
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003769than simply saying
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003770violent videos are
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003771prohibited.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003772Mr. Chair.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay

Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003774Mr. Speaker, napakalaga po
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003775nito dahil ang pagkakaiba
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003776ang isang content na available lamang
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003777online at isang content na aktibo
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003778ipinapakita o nire-recommend
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003779ng platform sa isang user. Lalo
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003780na para sa mga bata, malaking bagay
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003781kung ang harmful content ay basta ma-
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003782access lamang o paulit-ulit na lumalabas
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003783sa kanilang feed.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003784Ang susunod na katanungan ko naman po
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003785ay may kinalaman sa mga
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003786tanong ng magulang na may
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003787silbi ba ang classification?
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003788Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003789sa 2027
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003790NEP, target ng MTRCB
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003791na manatili sa
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-00379299% ang percentage
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003793ng entities under its
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003794jurisdiction na complaint with
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003795MTRCB rules.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003796Habang ang target din itong ma-review,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003797at maklassify ang 100%
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003798ng submitted movie, television,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003799and optical media materials.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003800Pero ang tanong ko po,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003801paano natin sinusukat kung ang
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003802classification system ay talagang
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003803naiintindihan at ginagamit
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003804ng mga magulang sa pagdedesisyon
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003805kung ano ang dapat mapanood
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003806ng kanilang mga anak?

asr-003814Naniniwala ang

asr-003816at hindi tuluyang
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003817pagbabawal sa mga platform
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003818na ito. Ang mas angkop na
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003819paraan upang maprotektahan
Rep. Lolita T. Javier

Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003821marahas at hindi angkop na
Rep. Lolita T. Javier

Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003823Pabor po ang MTRCB
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003824sa pag-regulate o
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-003825pagsasayos ng mga platform na ito
Rep. Lolita T. Javier

Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay

Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003870ano ang mga standard ng MTRCB
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003871para matukoy

asr-003872kung ang isang palabas ay

Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003928Kaya ang tanong ko po, paano
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003929sinisigurado ng MTRCB na bawat

Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003987Madam Sponsor,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003988sa tingin ko po ay napakalaga po nito
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003989dahil kailangan magkaroon ng tamang
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003990balanse sa pagitan ng proteksyon sa

Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-003999Ang susunod na
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004000question ko po, Mr.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004001Speaker, Madam Sponsor,

Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-00401465.6 million.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004015Maari po ba nating ipaliwanag
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004016kung magkano ang actual collection
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004017mula sa fees and charges
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004018at paano ito ginagamit para palakasin
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004019ang regulatory services
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004020ng MTRCB?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier

Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004029galing po iyon
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004030sa sarili nilang pondo. Dahil

Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004032meron silang 640
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004033million sa treasury.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004034So,

Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004266film workers,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004267at sa development ng ating local film industry?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004268Mr. Chair,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004280FDCP po ay malawak ang pangarap para po sa ating sining, sa ating bansa.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004281Meron po tayong mga scholars na mga kabataan all over the Philippines,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004282filmmakers nationwide.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004283Mga scholars po sila.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004284Minsan nakakaawa nga po kasi as of kwento ni Director Joy,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004285yung budget na binibigay lang minsan ay P50,000 para sa mga filmmakers natin.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004286Kung hindi natin susuportahan, mawawalan po tayo ng mga bagong idea
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004287kung paano po gumawa ng pindikalidad na movie sa ating bansa.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004288At hindi po natin, para sa ahensya na ito,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004289hindi po natin pwedeng hayaan na mawala yun sa ating,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004290dahil ang ibang bansa po ay niyayakap po nila talaga
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004291ang mga talento ng kanilang mga artista.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004292Dito po sa atin, meron tayong mga scholars nga po nationwide
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004293na sinusuportahan po natin.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004294Maliban pa po doon, ang prayer po talaga ng FDCP
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004295ay magkaroon po tayo ng film archiving
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004296na kung saan,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004297nawawala na po ang kasaysayan ng pelikulang Pilipino.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004298Meron po tayong mga lumang movies na nakukuha pa po sa ibang bansa.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004299Imaginin po natin, sarili nating mga pelikula nung mga 1930s,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004300mga early 1900s, na wala na po sa ating bansa.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004301Nasa ibang bansa pa po natin nakukuha.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004302At hindi po ganun kamura para po i-restore natin yung mga old movies.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004303At hindi po ganun kamura para po i-restore natin yung mga old movies.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004304Ang isang pelikula po na luma ay, it depends po kung gaano kalawak yung sira.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004305Minsan po, ang isang movie ay nagkakahalaga ng 2 million para ma-restore po ito.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004306Kung hindi naman ganun kalaki ang damage, umaabot pa rin po ng isang million.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004307So million po talaga ang halaga ng bawat isang pelikula
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004308para maitago natin, mailagay natin sa archive yung kasaysayan ng pelikulang Pilipino, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004309Maraming salamat, Madam Sponsor.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004310Ang susunod ko pong katanungan ay may kinalaman sa Film Development Council Grants.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004311Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, sa 2027, target ng Film Development Council na 30% ng films na bibigyan ng incentives o grants
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004312ay maibigay based on merit.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004313Habang 50% naman ng award-winning producers, directors, at actors ay bibigyan ng priority sa pag-avail ng incentives o grants.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004314Paano po tinitiyak ng Film Development Council na ang grant system ay parehong merit-based at accessible,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004315lalo na para sa mga emerging filmmakers na wala pang awards o established industry connections?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004316Mr. Chair, ito po ay pinag-aaralan at pinagpapasyahan.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004317Ito po ay pinag-aaralan at pinagpapasyahan ng independent committee or selection.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004318Sinusunod ng committee ang mga itinakdang pamantayan tulad ng creative merit, global appeal, at yung epekto po sa ating ekonomiya, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004319Madam Sponsor, mahalaga po ito dahil may mga filmmaker na mataas ang potensyal pero wala pang established track record.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004320Dapat malinaw kung paano po binabalanse ang quality, merit, experience, at pagkakataong makapasok ang bagong talento sa industriya.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004321Ang pangatlong katanungan ko naman po ay may kinalaman sa Create PH Films at pagpapalaki ng support sa filmmakers.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004322Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, ngayong 2026 ay pinalawak ng Film Development Council ang Create PH Films, kabilang ang pagsama ng animation at documentary projects.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004323Pagtaas ng maximum project development grant mula sa 300,000 pesos na naging 500,000 pesos.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004324Ang pagpapalawak ng production, funding, hanggang post-production sa 2027, paano po titiyakin ng Film Development Council na ang expanded assistance na ito ay tunay na nakakatulong sa filmmakers na makumpleto ang kanilang projects at hindi lamang nakatutok sa initial development.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004325Mr. Chair, through the Create PH Films funding program and in line with its mandate under Republic Act 9167, FTCP provides financial and logistical support across all stages of filmmaking development, production, post-production, marketing, distribution, exhibition, and production.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004326and archiving. Through this program, the government reinforces its commitment to nurturing quality Filipino films and promoting the growth of Philippine cinema. Mr. Chair.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004327Madam Sponsor, follow-up questions lamang po. Ilang projects po ang target na masuportahan ng Create PH Films sa 2027 at ilan dito ang inaasahang matatapos at marirelease sa publiko?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004328Mr. Chair, it depends po sa quality, sa kalidad ng mga pelikula na naisasubmit po sa FTCP. Ang allocation po ng budget para sa mga programing ito ay 51 million, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004329Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, pagdating po sa trabaho at kabuhayan sa film industry.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004330Ang film industry ay hindi lamang tungkol sa actors at directors. Kasama rito ang camera crew, editors, production staff, designers, technicians, writers, at iba pang workers na umasa sa regular na projects para sa kanilang kabuhayan.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004331Sa budget documents po, isa sa outcome indicators ng Film Development Council ay ang percentage increase sa film workers na nabigyan ng employment. Ano po ang kanilang methodology sa pagbilang ng film workers?
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004332Na nabigyan ng employment? At ano po ang konkreto nitong programa upang magkaroon ng mas sustainable na trabaho at livelihood opportunities sa industriya?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004333Mr. Chair, hindi po sa cloud ng FTCP yung usapin na yan. Nasasakupan po yan ng Film Academy of the Philippines. Mr. Chair.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004334Maraming salamat, Madam Sponsor. Pagdating naman po sa Film Heritage Preservation, kanina po nabanggit po ninyo.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004335Opo.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004336Nung 2027, target ay 1,320 films na evaluated at considered for restoration. 1,701 audiovisual elements to be managed and preserved. Ngunit isang film lamang ang target na ma-restore.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004337Nung 2025, isang film din ang aktual na na-restore. Ano po ang pangunahing constraint kung bakit isa lamang ang annual restoration target?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004338Mr. Chair, matatandahan hindi.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004339Mayroon po natin na sa nakaraang taon, wala pong budget na naibigay ang Kongreso sa Film Development Council of the Philippines sa restoration and archiving.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004340Kaya nga po sa panahon ito, sana po ay suportahan natin sila para naman po ay mapanood pa po ng ating mga future generation yung mga old movies natin.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004341Yung mga ating mga anak ay makita pa rin.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004342At yung mga anak ay makita pa rin nila na maganda at kung gaano kadikalidad yung mga movies natin nung mga nakaraang panahon.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004343Kaya yun po yung number one actually na priority ng FDCP na magkaroon tayo ng mga suporta sa mga filmmakers at sa film archiving po. Thank you.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004344Maraming salamat.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004345Pagdating naman po sa students and young filmmakers, kabilang sa mga programa ng FDCP, ang Student Film Assistance Program at mga youth-oriented initiatives tulad ng Sine Kabataan,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004346sa 2026, ang Student Film Assistance Program ay nagbibigay ng 30,000 pesos hanggang 50,000 pesos na grants para sa student filmmakers.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004347Paano po tinitiyak ng FDCP na ang ganitong early assistance ay nagiging pathway para sa kabataan?
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004348Na makapasok at magpatuloy sa professional film industry?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004349Mr. Chair, napakalaking tulong po sa ating mga young filmmakers yung amount na yan.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004350At para sa akin or para sa passion po kasi ni Direk Joey talaga, yung magturo.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004351He is an educator. Nagtuturo po talaga siya kahit sa lasal or pumupunta po siya sa iba-ibang...
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004352region sa ating bansa para i-encourage niya yung kabataan.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004353Kaya kung sana po yung amount na 50,000 ay madagdagan pa natin kasi parang hindi nga po sapat pero dahil po yun ang pangarap ng mga kabataan natin,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004354yun yung passion nila, pinagkakasya po nila yung amount na yun.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004355Kaya sana po hinihiling natin na supportahan natin ang ating mga young,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004356young filmmakers at ang mithiin ng ating FDCP, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004357Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, nais ko pong ipahayag ang aking suporta sa Film Development Council of the Philippines at sa mga programa nito upang patuloy na mapaunlad.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004358ang ating local film industry at mapangalagaan ng ating film heritage.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004359Mahalaga po ang investment ng pamahalaan sa ating mga filmmaker,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004360film workers at mga kabataan dahil ang pelikula ay bahagi
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004361hindi lamang ng ating kultura kundi ng creative economy
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004362at ang pagkukwento ng bawat pahina ng buhay ng Pilipino.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004363Nawa ay mas mapalawak pa at mas maraming Pilipino talents
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004364ang mabigyan ng oportunidad at mas marami pa rin tayong pelikulang
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004365mapanood at mapakinabangan ng publiko habang patuloy nating
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004366pinoprotektahan ang ating cinematic heritage.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004367Mr. Speaker, in behalf of the minority, I move to terminate.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004368...
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004368-split-2May question pa?
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004369Okay, okay.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004370Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor, thank you, thank you very much.
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong
asr-004371You are the leader.
Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales
asr-004372Mr. Speaker, next to interpelate the sponsor, I move to recognize
Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales
asr-004373Representative Rene Luisco of Partylist Kabataan.
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong
asr-004374René Luisco is recognized.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004375Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and good afternoon to our distinguished sponsor
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004376and to FDCP. Actually, our colleague earlier already touched on
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004377some of the questions we'd like to ask, lalo na po tungkol sa sinikabataan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004378But maybe just like a few more details tungkol po sa paano po nasusuportaan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004379ng Create PH Films ang mga up and young, up and coming young filmmakers.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004380So, of course, while we commend the FDCP for increasing the Create PH Films
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004381project development grant from 300,000 to 500,000, we must look at the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004382operational reality on the ground.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004383Under current auditing guidelines, grant distributions are heavily reliant on tranche liquidations and post-expense reimbursements. Madali lang po 'yun for established production houses. Kaya po nilang i-outlay 'yung 500,000 to 1 million upfront while waiting for government tranche releases. 'Yun nga lang po, for young emerging independent storytellers without large capital reserves, this upfront expense requirement is a massive barrier to entry. Paano po ba, ano pong ginagawa ng FDCP upang ma-address itong cash flow bottleneck para ma-ensure na 'yung mga maaawardan ng grants hindi po maihinto sa early production dahil wala pong immediate operational capital? Ito po kasi 'yung kinonsulta natin sa ating mga young filmmakers na issue kung bakit hindi po sila makapagsimula in the first place.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004423Mr. Chair, meron po tayong training karampatan sa mga young filmmakers
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004424na sinisigurado po natin yung funds na talagang nabubuhos po sa kanila.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004425Dahil sinabi ko nga kanina na si Direct Joey ay passion niya po talaga ang filmmaking.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004426Kailangan magkaroon po tayo ng mga young minds para masuportahan ang scening ng movies ng ating bansa.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004427Sa nakaraang taon, hindi nga po sila nabigyan ng budget.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004428Kaya dito po sa panahon na ito, nakikiusap po ang FTCP na sana po ay bigyang tugon
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004429yung kanilang budget.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004430Kailangan natin sila panawagan, yung wish nila na mabigyan natin sila ng importansya
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004431para sa ating kabataan masuportahan po natin yung ating mga filmmakers, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004432Mr. Chair, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004433Sinusuportahan natin yung pagdagdag ng budget for the Create PH Films Project Development Grant.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004434At lalo na po para sa sinekabataan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004435Yung concern lang natin ay kung ang iskema, kung paano mabibigyan ng pera,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004436ang maaari pong maka-avail nito ay reimbursement mechanism.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004437Lalo na po sa mga magsisimula pa lang ng career.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004438Baka hindi po in the first place magkaroon ng oportunidad na masimulan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004439Ang pinikula dahil sa hirap na makuha yung ganitong klaseng pondo.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004440So siyempre sana at maganda na marireimburse.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004441Pero kung ang kailangan ay upfront capital, ano po bang guarantee na matutuloy-tuloy po ito ng isang kabataan?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004442Siguro ang tanong na lang po, Madam Speaker, may intensyon, may plano po bang FTCP to streamline internal finance?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004443Internal finance mechanisms?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004444Pwede po ba siyang mag-partner sa state financing institutions to provide immediate capital?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004445O kaya naman po, low interest advances bago po ay upon contract signing?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004446Para po hindi mabigat sa bulsa ng kabataan yung pagsisimula ng pelikula.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004447Mr. Chair, sumusunod po tayo sa mandate ng COA, yung guidelines ng COA.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004448So upon signing, meron na po silang 50% na na-sign.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004449And then may pangalawang second chance pag na-liquidate na po natin yung first na naibigay po natin.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004450Yun po yung mga paraan na ginagawa natin. May liquidation po.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004451At lahat po yan ay nabibigyan ng tugon ng FTCP.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004452Mr. Chair, Mr. Speaker, distinguished speakers,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004453mga sponsor, and siyempre din po sa leadership ng FTCP,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004454programs like the Short Film Fund and the Festival Development Assistance Program
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004455state that funding, often up to 150,000 to 500,000, is provided in the form of reimbursement.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004456Naintindihan naman po natin yung COA guidelines.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004457And appreciate natin yung answer and clarification na 50% ay naibabahagi sa pag-contract signing.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004458Ang huling tanong ko na lang po,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004459pwede po bang pulisiya or emergency mobilization funds that FTCP can adopt
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004460so that early stage grants provide upfront operational cash flow
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004461kaysa sa reimbursement na lang talaga pagkatapos?
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004462Mr. Chair, wala po.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004463Nakadepende po tayo ang FTCP ay nakadepende po sa budget na binibigay ng Kongreso.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004464Kaya po kung masusuportahan natin,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004465ang kabataan, kasi alam ko yun din yung prayer mo kung tulungan po natin sila.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004466Mr. Chair.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004467Mr. Chair, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004468sa puno't dulo gusto natin talaga yung ganung pagdagdag ng pondo.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004469Ang hiling na lang po ng kinatawa na ito ay para po talagang mabigyan ng oportunidad.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004470Lalo na po yung ating young,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004471yung young filmmakers na hindi naman po marami ang koneksyon,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004472wala naman pong backer,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004473pero maganda ang idea, may talento, may skill to really produce that film.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004474May oportunidad, may pipeline para po maigawa nila talaga yung vision nila.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004475Dahil po sa current scheme kung saan ay nakadepende talaga sa post-factory reimbursement,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004476mabigat sa bulsa yung paglabas ng paggawa ng pelikula para po maasahan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004477or in the chance and in the hopes na sila'y manalo ng grant
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004478and syempre sila po ay maawardan ng ganitong klaseng pondo.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004479And that's all, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004480This representation supports.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004481The additional funding,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004482funding necessary para po sana ay mas makita ng ating mga young filmmakers
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004483yung opportunities na to.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004484And syempre ito rin naman po yung investment na gusto natin
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004485para hindi lang po ang ating young creatives ay may pathways to the industry at large,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004486pero paano rin syempre sila na may unique stories to tell ay mas matawid
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004487at mas makita, maparamdampas sa kanilang kapwa kahenerasyon
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004488at syempre kahit sa atin dito sa Kongreso.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-004489Yun lang po, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, maraming salamat po.
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004490Mr. Chair,
Rep. Lolita T. Javier
asr-004491kaisa po ang FDCP, kaisa po ang ahensya sa mithiin po sa ating mga kabataan.

asr-004599Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004600una sa lahat,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004601gusto ko lang po ng clarification on the record.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004602Tinignan ko po yung budget
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004603of the Philippine Space Agency
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004604for the General Appropriations Bill
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004605sa kopya natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004606And on page 423,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004607line 45,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004608parang mali po yung figure.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004609Hindi nag-a-add up.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004610So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004611for the main program of
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004612PHILSA Space Science and Technology
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004613Application Program,

asr-004615is 126.2 million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004616The MOOE is 712 million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004617But the total shown here
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004618is 727.9 million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004619Mali po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004620It doesn't add up.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004621So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004622just to clarify,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004623typographical error lang po ba 'to?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004624Kasi siyempre,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004625we're talking about the actual figures
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004626in what will become
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004627law.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004629Mr. Speaker,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004630yes, it is true.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004631It is a clerical error.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004632And the real amount is
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004633898,656,000
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004634and it can be changed.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004635838,000.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004636Tama po ba?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004637838,000.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004638Yes.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004641Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004642Thank you for that clarification.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004643Malinaw na error po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004650Nakita natin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004651na may mali sa GAA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004652Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004653Now,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004654well,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004667dahil
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004668no less
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004669than the President
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004670mentioned
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004671the Philippines Space Agency
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004672in his SONA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004673Di ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004674Isa sa mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004675highlights
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004676nung SONA
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004677ay,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004678Sinabi niya, by 2027, the Philippines will launch its first ever sounding rocket in Cagayan in 2027.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004679Yun po ang gusto nating alamin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004680At dun ba gagamitin yung budget na ito?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004681Particularly the P739.9 million for research and development, policy development, and capacity building.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004682Could you tell us more about this program of VILSA, yung rocket?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004683Yes, Mr. Speaker. Only a very small portion of that will be used for the launch of the sounding rocket.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004684But to give you an update on the pronouncement of the President last sauna,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004685last August 4, official project kick-off with the VILSA, DICT, CESA, Ascend International Gateway,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004686Perigee Aerospace Incorporated, and Perigee Manila,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004687affirming its commitment towards implementing the test launch of the sounding rocket within the first quarter of 2027.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004688And last August 11, VILSA engineers left for Korea to undertake 10 weeks of technical and hands-on training on building the sounding rocket.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004689And up to this date, the flight...
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004690The flight model of the rocket is being assembled with tests to be undertaken.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004691The rocket is set to be completed and shipped to the Philippines in October on track for the scheduled launch next year, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004692Okay, so nabanggit niyo po, VILSA involved with other agencies, including a private company called Perigee.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004693Korean firm po ba ito?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004694Yes, it is a Korean firm, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004695At ito yung kapartner ng VILSA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004696Sa pag-develop at pag-manufacture ng rocket, tama po ba?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004697Tama, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004698Okay. At tinatawag yung rocket, tinatawag na sounding rocket.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004699So pwede po bang mapaliwanag, ano yung sabihin ng sounding rocket?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004700It will be a test launch, Mr. Speaker, but a sounding rocket can be used to
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004701study weather and atmosphere conditions, radiation, space physics, communications, and new technologies.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004702Okay, so ang intindi ko po, yung sounding rocket, parang siyang mas maliit na rocket, mainly for research purposes, and sounding rockets are suborbital.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004703Actually, hindi po pa aabot sa outer space technically, but its main use will be for research, scientific purposes.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004704Okay, so nasa ganung level po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004705So our concern po natin ay, okay, meron bang aspeto ng technology transfer at sinasabi, pag-develop ng industriya,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004706ang ayaw po natin mangyari, ito na naman, tag-assemble lang tayo, pero in the end, pag umalis yung kumpanya, in this case, Perigee, wala na naman tayong sariling industriya.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004707Ano po ba ang perspektiba ng VILSA?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004708As far as, at least as far as the Acting Director General is concerned, I had the opportunity to speak with her before this interpellation, Mr. Speaker, si Acting Director General Gay Jane P. Perez, physics professor po yan sa UP, at genuine rocket scientist.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004709So, ano po ba ang perspective ng VILSA?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004710Dito sa space industry, kumbaga.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004711Mr. Speaker, meron tayong technology transfer. In fact, meron na mga trainings ongoing ngayon.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004712But the test launch shall be the next step in building capabilities that directly affect the country's economy, resilience, and long-term national interest.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004713Yung objective is not simply to launch a rocket, it is to build the people, technology, regulatory framework, safety procedure, and infrastructure
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004714that will allow the people to be able to fly.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004715that will allow the people to be able to fly.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004716that will allow the people to be able to fly.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004717That will allow the Philippines to develop its own launch capability.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004718Okay, allow the Philippines to develop its own launch capability.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004719We will pursue that a little bit, in a little bit.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004720Nabanggit nyo yung maliit na bahagi lang yung para sa launch.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004721Magkano po yung gagastusin for the launch?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004722This year, Mr. Speaker, it will be a hundred million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004723Hundred million of the 739 million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004724Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004725For this year. How about for next year?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004726For next year, it will just be six million. Over six million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004727Okay. So, one hundred million this year, and then six million next year.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004728So, the rest of the budget, nabanggit nyo po, will be for developing and launching another satellite.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004729Would you tell us more about this satellite? Mula?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004730Yes, it will be used in developing the Mula 2 satellite, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004731Para saan po yung Mula?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004732Yung Mula 2 satellite natin, isang multi-spectral unit for land assessment, satellite, earth observation satellite,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004733being developed by FILSA to generate satellite data to benefit applications in agriculture, environmental protection and monitoring,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004734natural resource management, disaster risk reduction, and national security, among others.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004735Mula shall have a 5M multi-spectral imager, allowing the satellite...
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004736to capture up to 139,000 square kilometers of satellite images per day.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004737The development of Mula was started by DOST in 2021, and was continued in 2023 by FILSA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004738Okay. Thank you for that. So, mainly, imaging satellite, ganun po ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004739At gagamitin para sa, among others, agrikultura?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004740Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004741Ganun.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004742However, you did also mention national security.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004743So, baka pwede na nating isegway.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004744Bakit?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004745Ano po may national security?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004746Could you just explain? Ano yung role sa national security?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004747It is included in the Philippine Space Act, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004748Okay. And as I understand, in the Philippine Space Council, ay co-chair po. Tama po ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004749Is it DOST and BND Secretary?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004750Co-Vice Chair ang DOST, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004751Ah, co-Vice Chair.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004752Ang chair po ay ang...
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004752-split-2Our president is the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004752-split-3Pangulo mismo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004753Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004754So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004755well, historically po, ang space sector, aerospace industry, including outer space,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004756historically, magpipit na magkaugnay naman talaga yung militar at sibilyan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004757Diba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004758At so, I suppose, kaya ganun.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004759Pero ngayon, napapanahon, at in fact, sa gera,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004760ang tinuturing na stratehikong lugar, ang kalawakan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004761So, control of outer space means control of, I mean, you know,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004762it's a requisite for control over everything below it.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004763Parang ganun.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004764So, ngayon, ang tanong, dahil may national security aspect dito,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004765and this involves manufacturing,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004766and development of certain advanced technologies.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004767At ang pangunahing inisyatiba ng Malacanang,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004768ng Marcos Administration, kaugnay dyan ngayon,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004769ay yung Pax Silica.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004770So, may involvement ba ang FILSA at ang programa nila,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004771ang mga programa nila sa Pax Silica?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004772Dahil yung Pax Silica,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004773ang pangunahing concern ng USG,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004774dyan is the Defense Industrial Base of the United States.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004775And, inevitably, kasama doon, yung rockets, yung satellites,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004776and missiles.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004777Iyan ang ginagawa ng FILSA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004778So, involved po ba ang FILSA sa Pax Silica?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004779Mr. Speaker, FILSA is not involved or connected with Pax Silica.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004780Not involved.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004781Will it ever be involved?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004782No.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004783Or, will it never be involved?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004784The agency has no knowledge about it, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004785No knowledge about it.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004786However, may lupa kayo sa New Clark City.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004787Diba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004788And, in fact, yung lupa nyo ay gagamitin para sa Pax Silica.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004789Tama po ba?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004790Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004791O, tama.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004792So, may involvement.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004793Kahit sa ganong level, ano po mangyayari sa inyong lupa?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004794And, yet, you say you're not involved.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004795Paano yun?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004796Please clarify.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004797The agency will relocate, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004798The agency will relocate.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004799So, gagamitin ang lupa nyo para sa Pax Silica sa New Clark City,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004800pero magre-relocate kayo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004801Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004802Tama po?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004803Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004804BCDA will relocate the land, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004805So, okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004806Now, you also mentioned CESA earlier as involved in the rocket launch.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004807At sa kagayan magaganap yung launch.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004808In fact, saan po ang target ng first test launch ng sounding rocket
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004809in the first quarter of 2027?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004810Yung pinagmalaki ng Pangulo, saan mangyayari yung launch test?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004811It will be in Cagayan, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004812Where?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004813In Cagayan?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004814Cagayan, specifically, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004815In Lalo Airport.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004816Lalo Airport.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004817Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004818Lalo Airport, which also happens to be an EDCA site.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004819Tama po ba?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004820Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004821Yes, it's an EDCA site.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004822Of all places in the Philippines, bakit po sa EDCA site gaganapin yung test launch?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004823Mr. Chair, because of the location, aside from the geographic advantages of being in
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004824the country's eastern seaboard, Cagayan has existing infrastructure in place to execute the test launch of a sounding rocket.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004825Furthermore, the area has an institutional and economic zone framework administered by the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004826Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004827So, dahil EDCA site po yan, obviously, nandyan po ang presensya ng U.S. military.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004828It is actively being used.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004829By the U.S. military on a rotational basis.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004830Ang alam po natin, yung mga helicopters ng U.S., yan ang ginagamit ng lunsaran.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004831At nagpapatrolya sila hanggang sa Batanes, sa Nueva Ecija, and parts of the South China Sea, using Lalo as their operating base.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004832So, magkakaroon kayo ng launch doon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004833May involvement po ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004834Ang U.S. military sa proyektong ito?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004835Walang involvement, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004836Wala pong anumang involvement, yun po ang sinasabi natin.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004837Yes.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004838Sa ngayon, wala pong involvement?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004839Sabi po sa agency.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004840Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004841Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004842At least, nagkaroon tayo ng pagkakataon to publicly discuss ano ba talaga yung plano ng Philippine Space Agency.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004843Ano ba itong binanggit ng Pangulo sa SONA?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004844At nakikita po natin na, if not now, ay kasama rin po sa proyekto yung mga issue ng national security.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004845At nakikita na rin po natin, kahit pa pano, ay nadidikit sa usapin ng Paxilica at saka ng U.S. military presence ang proyektong ito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004846Kaya babantayan po natin ang further developments dito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004847At the same time, of course,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004848mahalaga ng mag-develop ng sariling industriya ang mga Pilipino.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004849Kailangan tiyakin natin na ito ay maglilingkod sa interest ng mga Pilipino.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004850Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004851And I look forward to further discussions with Philza on this matter.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004852Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-004853Thank you to the sponsor.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-004854Thank you, Honorable Tinio, Majority Leader.
Rep. Eduardo R. Rama Jr.
asr-004855Mr. Speaker, next to interpolate the sponsor, I move to recognize the representative,
Rep. Eduardo R. Rama Jr.
asr-004856Jernie Jett Nisay of Pusong Pinoy Party-list.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-004857Gentleman from Pusong Pinoy Party-list, Representative Jernie Jett Nisay.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-004858Sir, you are recognized to interpolate the sponsor.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-004859You have the floor.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004860Sir Speaker, Sir Sponsor, ilang mga katanungan lamang po.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004861Asunod ng mga katanungan ng ating congressman Tino.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004862Regarding ho sa rocket launch sa Pilipinas,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004863ano naman po ang nakikita ng Pilza?
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004864Na pangunahing benepisyo at potential risk ng pagkakaroon ng rocket launch capability sa ating bansa.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004865Lalo't sa isang banda ay maaari itong mag-develop ng Pilipino expertise, research, aerospace jobs,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004866at future commercial space activities.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004867Pero sa kabilang banda, ano naman po ang mga concerns, safety,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004868concerns sa safety, environmental impact, air and maritime traffic,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004869at possible rocket debris na kailangang pagandaan?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004870Mr. Speaker, the test launch is another step towards building capabilities
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004871that directly affect the country's economy, resilience, and long-term national interest
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004872as a space-faring and space-capable nation.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004873The objective is not only to simply just launch a rocket,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004874it is to build the people, technology, regulatory framework, safety procedures, and infrastructure
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-004875that will allow the Philippines to develop its own space launch capability.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004876Mr. Sponsor, additional question lamang po.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004877Bilang paghanda rin po sa ating sariling rocket launch capability,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004878nitong September 16 lamang ay naglabas ang Pilza ng advisory,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004879kaugnay ng Yinli-1 rocket launch,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004880kung saan ang projected debris drop zone ay nasa loob ng ating Philippine EEC,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004881at nagbigay ng warning sa mga barko, aircraft, fishing boats, at iba pang vessels.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-004882Sa ganitong mga insidente,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay

asr-005034Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues, CCC family, led by Secretary Robert Borje,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005035Mayong hapon sa tanan.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005036It is my privilege to sponsor the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget of the Climate Change Commission, or CCC.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005037The government's lead policy-making body tasked to coordinate, monitor, and evaluate our programs and action plans on climate change
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005038and ensure the mainstreaming of climate change into national, sectoral, and local development plans and programs and investment programming.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005039Climate change is no longer a distant threat.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005040Intensifying tropical cyclones, sea-level rise, heavy rainfall events, and increasing temperatures already affect the lives and livelihoods of millions of Filipinos.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005041From damage to agriculture and infrastructure to escalating economic costs, the burden of climate change continues to grow, falling most heavily on vulnerable communities and sectors.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005042This reality underscores the need for sustained and sustainable development.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005043The Commission's role is not only to develop climate policies, but to ensure that these are translated into risk-informed planning, investments, and programs that respond to the needs of communities and sectors.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005044The CCC also plays an important role in advancing the country's climate finance agenda and in strengthening the use of
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005045climate risk information to support evidence-based decision-making.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005046For fiscal year 2027, the proposed budget of the Commission amounts to Php 183,482,000.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005047It is Php 132,801,000, or 41.99% lower compared to the fiscal year 2026 budget.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005048Mr. Speaker, this budget is not merely an operational expense.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005049It is an investment in building more resilient
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005050communities, advancing climate-responsive planning, safeguarding infrastructure and livelihoods, and ultimately securing the lives, well-being and sustainable future of every Filipino. I therefore respectfully seek the support of this august chamber for the approval of the fiscal year 2027 budget of the Climate Change Commission. This representation is now ready for interpellation. Thank you.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-005050-split-2Thank you, Majority Leader.
Rep. Eduardo R. Rama Jr.
asr-005051Mr. Speaker, I move to recognize Representative Iris Marie de Mesa Montes from 4K Partylist.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-005052The gentlelady from 4K Partylist, Representative Iris Marie de Mesa Montes, ma'am, you are recognized.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005053Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Distinguished sponsor to the Climate Change Commission, pagandang umaga po.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005054Ilang katanungan lamang po mula sa kababaihan kabalikatan para sa kapakanan.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005055At kaularan ng bayan, nabanggit niyo po sa inyong opening statement, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005056na the Climate Change Commission was created to lead, coordinate, monitor, and evaluate climate change programs across government.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005057This is a very powerful mandate, but the question is whether it is being exercised with enough authority.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005058For fiscal year 2027, which agencies, programs,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005059and climate tag expenditures will be the subject to actual review and monitoring by the Commission.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005061Mr. Speaker, as of this moment, we have 202 NGAs, 98 GOCCs, and 119 SUCs.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005062Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005066Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005067For instance, if an agency labels a program climate tagged, but it cannot show a clear climate rational or measurable target or credible risk basis,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005068ano po ang ginagawa ng komisyon?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005069Meron po bang otoridad ng komisyon na i-question or mag-recommend ng revision or i-flag yung mga items na iyon sa Department?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005070Department of Budget and Management or Kongreso po.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005071Mr. Speaker, yan ay part ng Quality Assurance ng Climate Change Commission,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005072and meron silang mga reviews, and then if makapasa, ay okay na sila, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005073Um, ilan po yung na-review exactly? May datos po ba tayo kung ilang mga climate tag programs ang na-review na ng komisyon na-reject or na-correct in recent budget cycle?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005074Mr. Speaker, as of the moment, total na NGAs ay 202, ang completed ng process ay 148, with a compliance rate of 73.27%.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005075For GOCC, 98 ang total completed CCET process, 57, with a compliance rate of 58.27%.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005076With the SUCs, 119. Completed CCET process, 102. Compliance rate of 85.71%, with a total of compliance rate ng 73.27%, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005077Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005078Um, alam naman po natin, isa sa mga problema, actually po pala dalawa, um, dalawa sa pinakamalaking problema natin dito.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005079Um, isa na dun po yung institutional order.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005080Overlap. Ano po?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005081Um, paano po kino-coordinate ng komisyon at na-avoid yung institutional overlap ng functions, especially with like DENR, um, with the NDRRM, with the DOF and other agencies na involved din sa climate policy, no?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005082Um, disaster risk reduction.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005083So, ano po ba talaga, anong role ng komisyon?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005084Sa coordination, what evidence shows that coordination is producing unified action rather than yung fragmentation pong na meron tayo?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005085Mr. Speaker, meron namang interagency meetings with the different agencies together with the Commission, Climate Change Commission.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005086So, walang overlapping of duties and responsibilities, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005087Okay, thank you, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005088Um, pagdating po sa climate finance, this remains as actually...
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005089...one of the problems, no?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005090Um, sinasabi po nila, um, the absence of a climate finance unit is very challenging, kaya nagkakaroon po tayo ng fragmented, minsan underutilized and difficult to access, particularly for LGUs.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005091Um, wala po kasi tayong centralized institutional mechanism for climate finance, kaya nalilimit yung abilidad ng ating bansa to effectively mobilize...
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005092...coordinate and deploy both domestic and international resources.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005093Um, while the CCC is mandated to coordinate climate policy, it lacks a dedicated operational arm focused exclusively on climate finance.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005094Ano po ang posisyon ng CCC on the creation of a climate finance unit under the CCC?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005095Mr. Speaker, meron na silang development partners coordinating group para ma-discipline.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005096Pag-discuss nila doon kung ano yung mga kailangan gawin para sa Climate Change Commission para, once again, ma-disseminate yung mga information at anong mga kailangan gawin, especially with the LGUs.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005097Um, yung pinupunto ko po dito, Mr. Speaker, um, Mr. Sponsor, kasi yung iba po, diba, parang dire-diretsyo, iba-diretsyo na sa LGU.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005098May fragmentation talaga, halimbawa may financing, diretsyo sa LGU, yung iba-diretsyo dito.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005099Wala talaga siyang centralized...
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005100...centralized agency who monitors the financing that comes in para magkaroon ng isang comprehensive...
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005101or integrated na pagtingin doon sa mga programa o sa mga proyekto na dapat na paprioritize for financing.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005102How does the Climate Change Commission deal with that problem?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005103As I mentioned earlier, Mr. Speaker, because of the interagency meeting, doon nila nabibigay yung mga gusto nila,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005104ano mga kailangan na kukuha nila para once again walang overlapping with the different agencies
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005105and iba-iba naman yung mga mandates nila with the different agencies, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005106How about po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, yung pag-access ng mga international grants?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005107Ano po ba ang mga challenges or mga balakid sometimes that we are not able to access grants from abroad?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005108That remains to be one of the biggest challenges of the Commission, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005109That is why our Secretary-Holmes,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005110is also working hard with the different agencies to be able to access some of the finances, international finances, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005111Hindi po kaya yung fragmentation na ito is also a contributing factor and our difficulty to access international financing
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005112kasi po, di ba, hindi coordinated, hindi integrated.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005113So medyo mas matagal, mas minsan, baka po, nagkakaroon ng pagkakataon na deadline na hindi natin na ibibigay ng dokumento,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005114medyo madaming dokumentong kailangan.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005115Hindi po ba ito isa sa mga dahilan din kung bakit nagkakaroon tayo ng problema doon?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005116Isa po yan sa mga dahilan, Mr. Speaker, pero the Commission is now working on the capacity building para sa NGAs
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005117para ma-improvise, ma-coordinate ang mga different mga agencies, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005118And under the Government Optimization Law,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005119yung Climate Finance Unit requested to be established, is requested to be established, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005120That was my question a while ago, the climate, I asked about your position on creating a Climate Finance Unit.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005121So, in fact, I think the answer was you have, there's already a coordinating committee.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005122Ito pong sinasabing nyo ngayon, ano po yung Climate Finance Unit?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005123So there is...
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005124An existing Climate Finance Unit in the Commission right now?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005125It is still a proposal, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005126Okay. Thank you.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005127So the Commission is supporting the creation of that unit?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005128Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005129I was leading to that question a while ago, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005130Yes, Mr. Speaker. In fact, the Commission is also requesting your support, the support of everybody,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005131especially in the 20th Congress, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005132Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, I'd like to inform the Sponsor and the CCC that, in fact,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005133this representation filed House Bill 8918, creating the Climate Finance Unit in the CCC.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005134Okay. Next question ko naman po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005135Nasabi nyo rin po kanina, every year, communities are hit by stronger typhoons, deeper floods, longer dry spells, extreme heat,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005136coastal erosion, crop losses, water insecurity, and displacement.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005137Against this backdrop po, how can the Commission justify its 2027 proposal as adequate,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005138considering na, sabi nyo rin po, bumaba po yung proposed budget for 2027?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005139Ano po, dito sa funding gap na ito, ano po ang mga maaapektuhan na programa at proyekto ng CCC?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005140Alin ang hindi mapopondohan?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005141Alin ang makukompromiso?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005142Alin ang mapaaapektuhan po?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005143Mr. Speaker, ang Commission naman ay nag-request na mas mataas na budget, but they also understand the budget.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005144Ang maapektuhan ng mga programs nila, a capacity building for LGU, mga data,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005145gathering, at sa iba pang mga programs, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005146Doon sa capacity building po, alam ko isang challenge dyan eh, kaya hindi makapag-access.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005147Halimbawa nga yung mga LGU sa People's Survival Fund, kasi nahihirapan po sila doon sa documentation,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005148sa sobrang dami po ng dokumentong hinihingi, ultimo po paggawa ng project proposal, hirap sila.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005149So kasama po ba dyan sa capacity building yan?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005150Yes, kasama, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005151Magsalamat po.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005152On climate disasters and losses naman po, meron po bang estimate ang Commission yung annual economic and social cost ng climate impact sa Pilipinas?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005153Meron po tayong datos tungkol dyan?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005154The Commission has a data, Mr. Speaker, but please allow me to...
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005155But anyways, anyway, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005156Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, ang gusto ko lamang po ito nung tungkol dyan, in general, yung data pong yan,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005157kung lagi po nating pinupondohan lamang yung ating recovery,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005158hindi pa kaya dapat mas pagtuuna natin ng pansin yung prevention before disasters?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005159Ganoon naman po ang ginagawa ng Commission, hindi po ba?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005160Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005161Mr. Speaker, meron naman po and we agree.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005162We agree to that.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005163That's why we have the National Adaptation Plan at saka predictive governance of our Honorable President Bongbao Marcos.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005164Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005165Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005166Pagdating naman po sa mga vulnerable sectors, paano nasisiguro po ng Commission na yung ating mga magsasaka, mangingisda, yung mga informal settler families,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005167mga IPs?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005168Children, senior citizen, PWDs at mga kababaihan ay hindi lamang mga tinatawag nating generic beneficiaries,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005169kundi tinatrato sila na specific groups na may specific climate risk at dapat may specific budget need din na nailalaan.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005170Meron po ba tayong nakalaan sa pagpupondo ng ganyan sa budget ng 2027?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005171Mr. Speaker.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005172Meron pong nakalaan dyan.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005173In fact, it is included sa NAP localization, saka sa NDC localization.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005174Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005175Pagdating naman po sa food and water security, paano nagko-coordinate ang Commission sa agriculture, fisheries, irrigation, water, and LGU para i-address yung mga problema sa tagtuyot, saltwater intrusion, crop failure, fishery decline, water shortages?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005176If districts are already affected?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005177If they are already affecting livelihood and prices, why should climate adaptation remain a peripheral item instead of a central budgetary priority?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005178Kasama din yung water natin para sa interagency meeting para ma-advance yung national adaptation plan at saka in coordination with the different LGUs.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005179Meron namang mga series of meetings together with the Commission and the LGUs.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005180Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005181Maraming salamat.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005182Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005183Panghuli na lamang po sigurong katanungan on loss and damage.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005184What is the Commission doing to help the Philippine access international finance for climate-related losses without creating new debt burdens?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005185Are we actively preparing project pipelines and evidence-based claims?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005186Or are we simply waiting for international mechanisms to mature while communities continue to absorb the damage?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005187Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005188The Commission is currently having a negotiation and kasalipan yan sa development plan ng Commission.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005189Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005190Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005191In closing, the issue before us is not whether climate change is real nor whether the Climate Change Commission has an important mandate.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005192Those questions have already been settled by law, by science, and by the lived experiences of our people.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005193The issue before Congress is whether the FY2020...
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005194...FY2027 budget gives the Commission the resources, discipline, and accountability mechanisms needed to turn climate policy into protection on the ground.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005195The KBKP supports the provision of adequate funding for the Commission, but at the same time challenges it to demonstrate that their budget will not merely sustain an office,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005196but strengthen the country's capacity to survive.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005198adapt and protect the most vulnerable communities from accelerating climate crisis.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-005199Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, and to the Climate Change Commission.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-005208Climate Change Commission.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005209Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005210we are aware of the existence
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005211of a Climate Change
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005212Task Force, a body
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005213presenting as official
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005214under Commissioner Albert De La Cruz.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005215What is the official nature
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005216and mandate of this task force?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005217And how are its functions
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005218differentiated from that of the CCC?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005219If the gentleman is
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005220open to answer
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005221several questions of this nature.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005222Mr. Speaker, that is
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005223a volunteer group and totally
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005224different from the Climate Change Commission.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005225Mr. Speaker.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005226Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005227Just a volunteer group,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005228Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005229Yes, just a volunteer group,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005230Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005231This representation,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005232Mr. Speaker, is not aware
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005233of any policy directing the Climate Change
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005234Commission to create or direct such a body.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005235May we ask if there is
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005236a basis for the creation of the task
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005237force and how much is allocated
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005238to its function?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005239There is no allocation,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005240Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005241Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005242Thank you for the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005243clarification.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005244We'd like to move on to our questions
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005245on Climate Change Expenditure
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005246Tagging. Can the agency
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005247provide an updated allocation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005248for the Climate Change Expenditure Tagging
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005249Program and provide
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005250with this representation's
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005251office with a detailed breakdown
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005252for this year or for the coming
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005253fiscal year?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005254Yes, Mr.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005255Speaker, the Commission can provide
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005256the report.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005257Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, to what extent
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005258is CCC able to provide
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005259capacity building and oversight
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005260of how government agencies
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005261are tagging their budgets according to
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005262the CCET? We are
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005263concerned by how in
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005264the NEP, for example,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-00526583% of our climate tag budget
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005266is allocated to the DPWH
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005267due to their programmatic
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005268tagging of projects, resulting
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005269in construction of new roads
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005270and retrofitting of buildings
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005271being tagged as adaptation.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005272Because of the
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005273CCAT, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005274meron na mga advantages na naman
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005275kuha, improved power
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005276and the likes, and
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005277mga post-analysis din nila,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005278Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005279Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005280good sponsor, to clarify,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005281is there capacity
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005282building and oversight
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005283that CCC is able to do
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005284to ensure that
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005285whatever is in the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005286National Climate Action
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005287Program,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005288that tagging is done in
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005289accordance to its targets,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005290to its
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005291goals, and not
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005292just essentially
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005293random tagging by different
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005294agencies for compliance.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005295Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005296Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005297In fact, the Commission has the oversight
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005298function, and they are
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005299working on the National CCET
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005300Impact Assessment, as well as the annual
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005301orientation, and is provided with
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005302house-to-house capacity building, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005303So it's conducting
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005304capacity building to different agencies?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005305Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005306Does the Climate Change
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005307Commission conduct it
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005308annually, or does it
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005309go to each agency
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005310to essentially explain
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005311the NCEP,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005312and of course,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005313ensure that it's aligned
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005314with the targets?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005314-split-2It is conducted
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005315annually, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005316in line with our budget season,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005317together with the DBM.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005318Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, we ask
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005319these questions because
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005320it
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005321does not escape our attention,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005322that much of
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005323the climate tag budget
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005324could be characterized as
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005325gray infrastructure.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005326Most of it is prioritized
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005327in that way, and that could be seen
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005328as an overinflation of how much
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005329is actually spent on climate
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005330action, as it does not account
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005331for, for example, the negative
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005332impacts such infrastructure
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005333may have, or even
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005334to actual climate financing,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005335which we hope the Climate
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005336Change Commission assists.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005337In ensuring that not only
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005338is there framework, but there's
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005339funding available, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005340good sponsor. We've
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005341asked these questions.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005342Last year already and the conclusion was that we arrived at the end was that ideally the mandate of the CCC is expanded so that it is and even it has more authority to be able to do what it does and not just simply be a repository of the tags that each agency is submitting.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005343But Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, for my final question, I'd just like to ask, how well does the Commission coordinate with other government agencies to track and monitor the implementation of climate change programs, activities, and projects?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005344Mr. Speaker, it is a part of the interagency meeting that the Commission will conduct with the interagency meeting with the different LGUs and the members of the different agencies.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005345Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, if the good sponsor and the Commission can submit a report of how they are conducting these not only capacity building but coordination efforts to ensure that what's in the National Climate Action Program conducts or is reflected in the budget and not simply merely as I've expanded earlier just the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005346discussion of the tags that is submitted by each agency. Would that be possible, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005347Mr. Speaker, the Commission will submit the report.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005348My final question, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, is that we are aware of a recent statement by the DENR confirming that there is no current environmental impact assessment applied or in process for
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005349the Pax Silica Hub, although an environmental compliance certificate had been issued for the BCDA's environmental plan. At the same time, Pax Silica initiatives are being discussed as a major technical hub and effort.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005350Its future requirements for resources and infrastructure, of course, has potential climate impacts in its geographical location. Considering that there is a statement confirming that there is no environmental impact
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005351assessment issued yet, how can the Climate Change Commission ensure that any climate-related appropriations connected to the Pax Silica infrastructure are based on a sufficiently supported assessment of risks, environmental impacts, and adaptation requirements?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005352Paano po i-ensure ng CCC yung kanilang mandato, exercise, na kung anumang budget ilalaan sa Pax Silica in the future or soon ay,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005353naaayon sa pag-aaral ng mga risks, impacts, at kung anumang requirements kailangan?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005354Mr. Speaker, yan ay mandate ng DENR, but the CCC will just assist, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005355How would it assist, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005359The CCC will provide a technical assistance, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005360Technical assistance to clarify, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, kung paano i-ensure na yung appropriations ay may assessment of risks, environmental impacts, at kung anumang?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005362Ang commission mandato ng CCC, Mr. Speaker, ay sa climate lang, but they will provide a climate lens and a projections, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005363Yes, that is precisely the point being made by this representation, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005364May bird's eye view ang CCC kung paano ang certain appropriations dapat pong direksyonan para po naaayon sa targets natin to reduce climate change.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005365Address it, etc., mitigate it.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005366May early projections now ang ilang environmental groups that Pax Silica may be detrimental to the environment.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005367And so, up until now, may mga tumututol sa Pax Silica, pero this administration is adamant on ensuring that it is signed in November.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005368So, ano po bang kayang gawin ng Climate Change Commission na kung anumang budget ilalaan dito?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005369And beyond technical assistance on budget tagging sa DNR, ay naayon siya sa climate change mitigation targets, etc. na gusto natin gawin naman ng buong pamahalaan.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005370Mr. Speaker, ang Climate Change Commission ay mag-assess para sa Pax Silica impacts on climate vulnerability sa NDC and low carbon development. Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005371May assessment na pong ginawa ang CCC?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005372Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005373Sa preliminary pa sila, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005374Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, may we receive a copy of this preliminary assessment by the CCC on Pax Silica?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005375Yes, the commission will submit, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005376Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005377Ang huling tanong nga lang po talaga natin ay dahil po, as per the involvement of climate change expenditure tagging, in line with the current budget appropriated for CCC,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005378there is almost a 53% difference, specifically, from P316 million to P183 million pesos.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005379With this decrease in the budget, how can we ensure that risk assessment would be strictly implemented?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005380Gaya po nang sa kaso ng Pax Silica.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005381And paano ba natin magagaranti na effective po ito with regards with its decreased budget, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005382The commission would like a higher budget, but because of the budget concerns,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005383constraints, kailangan lang nila mag-work kung anong nandyan sa kanila,
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005384pero they assure na lahat ng mga kailangan gawin ay magawa ng commission, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005385Meron po bang functions na siguro mas mahihirapan silang magawa dahil sa decreased budget?
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005386More on the capacity building on the different LGUs, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005387Which is very necessary dahil separate pa po sa national budget, may budget din pong ginagawa,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005388separate din ang LGUs.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005389At kung hindi po nila alam kung paano budgetan ng naayon sa National Climate Action Plan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005390at paano din pong magtag, mas mahihirapan tayong rumespunde sa climate change.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005391Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, this representation joins the different colleagues that have manifested here today
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005392na dapat sana mas kaya ng Climate Change Commission yung kanyang gawain.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005393At kung ang increase ng budget ang sana,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005394kung saan ang makakapagbigay nito, this representation will move for that at the proper time.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005395For now, I have no other further questions other than we hope that the report can be submitted
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005396kung sana po sa Monday, kung maaari, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005397Yes, the commission will submit on Monday, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005398Thank you, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

Rep. Eduardo R. Rama Jr.
asr-005400Mr. Speaker, next to interpolate the sponsor, I move to recognize representative
Rep. Eduardo R. Rama Jr.
asr-005401Jernie Jett Nisay of Pusong Pinoy Partylist.
Rep. Eduardo R. Rama Jr.
asr-005402So move.
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong
asr-005403Honorable Jernie Jett Nisay.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005404Mr. Sponsor, isang katanungan na lamang po bago ho natin i-terminate.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005405Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, ayon po sa latest pag-asa outlook,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005406ang El Niño ay maaaring magpatuloy hanggang first half of 2027
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005407at maaaring umabot sa very strong state na maaaring magdulot ng mas matinding init at below normal rainfall
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005408sa ilang bahagi ng ating bansa.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005409Pero nakita rin po natin nitong mga nakaraang buwan na marami pa rin pong magkaroon ng episodes
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005410ng matinding ulan at malalakas na bagyo.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005411Sa ganitong pabago-bagong climate conditions, paano po minomonitor ng CCC
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005412kung ang mga LGU ay handa sa magkaibang climate risk
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005413mula sa water shortage at agricultural losses hanggang sa flooding and storm impacts.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005414What the Commission has is the LC-CAP of the different LGUs
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005415and the CCC is monitoring kung na-implement na ba ang mga LC-CAPs nila, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap
asr-005416Mr. Speaker, LC-CAP means Local Climate Change Action Plan, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005417Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005419nais ko na lang pong ipahayag ang aking suporta sa Climate Change Commission
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005420at sa mahalagang gampanin nila sa paghanda ng ating bansa sa mga epekto ng climate change.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005421Sa uli, ang climate action ay hindi lamang tungkol sa environmental policies.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005422Direktang nakaka-apekto ito sa pagkain at mga presyo, kabuhayan, kalusugan, tahanan, infrastruktura at siguridad ng ating mga komunidad.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005423Kaya mahalaga ang patuloy na tungkulin ng CCC,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005424upang matulungan ng ating mga ahensya, LGUs at mga komunidad na maisalin ang climate policies at risk assessments
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005425sa konkretong paghanda at mga programang tumutugon sa mga pangailangan ng mamayan.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005426Patuloy nating suportahan ang mga akbang na magpapalakas sa climate resilience ng ating mga komunidad,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005427lalo na habang mas magiging hindi inaasahan ang epekto ng matinding init, tagtuyot, malakas na ulan at bagyo.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005428Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-005429In behalf of the minority, I move to terminate the sponsorship and debate of the budget deliberation of the proposed budget of the Climate Change Commission.

Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005502For priority programs which are as follows.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005512Good afternoon to our sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005513And to the Commission ng Wikang Filipino, will the gentleman yield to a couple of questions in relation to the budget of KWF?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005514Yes.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005515Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005516Ang tatanong natin ay tungkol po sa FSL unit na ginawa sa Commission sa Wikang Filipino, na ang pagbuo nito ay may basihan sa enactment ng Republic Act No. 11106, or the Filipino Sign Language Act.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005517Okay.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005518By recognizing FSL as the...
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005519National and Official Sign Language of the country, it is a groundbreaking law even from an international perspective.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005520It is also comprehensive in its scope of six language domains of education, justice, health, workplace, media, and all other public transactions, services, and facilities.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005521It is likewise an unusual law, which accepts that the visual, spatial language used by Filipinos is true and legitimate.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005522And,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005523par with spoken languages.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005524Kaya po, ang tanong natin dito,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005525Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005526una, magkano po ba
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005527ang appropriated and
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005528obligated by the KWF
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005529since 2023
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005530and prospectively
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005531for 2027 para po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005532sa FSL
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005533unit na ito?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005534Mr. Speaker, roughly around
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-0055353.1 million per year po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005536How much, Mr. Speaker?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005537Roughly around 3.1 million per year.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005538Per year. So, since
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-0055392023 up to
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-0055402027, wala pong pagbabago.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-0055413 million per year, more or less?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005542Nag-a-average po tayo
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005543ang data.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005544Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005545kung maaari ay makasumiti po ng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005546report para po doon
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005547sa breakdown
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005548ng pondo. But I'd like
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005549to go in further
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005550detail, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005551Magkano po ba
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005552ang nakalaan to support
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005553the use of FSL
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005554in early education?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005555Lalo na po sa engagements
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005556with ECCDC.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005557At para rin po ma-address
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005558yung posibling
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005559language deprivation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005560among those 0 to 7
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005561years old deaf children
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005562na gusto nating
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005563maalala yan, yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005564pag-ensure na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005565nade-develop yung kanilang language skills.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005566Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005567as of now po,
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005568wala pong budget na naka-allocate.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005569Wala pong budget na naka-allocate.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005570May I ask,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005571why is this so?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005572Mr. Speaker, according
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005573to nasa wishlist
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005574po nila, but then hindi po
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005575nalagyan ng budget.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005576May mga ibang taon po bang may budget
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005577pong nakalaan dito?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005578Ever since, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005579wala pong budget na
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005580na-allocate dito.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005582Mr. Speaker, sa early education,
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005583wala pa po, since
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005584wala pa pong na-budget.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005585Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005586Nakaka-alarma po yun, dahil
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005587sayang naman kung binigay
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005588sa KWF yung mandatong ito.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005589At,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005590Kinikilala ng batas ang pangailangan nito pero hindi po napupondohan sa kasaysayan ng pagkakaroon ng ganitong endeavor at ganitong pagkilala
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005591yung paano nahahawakan ng mga bata, yung FSL, bilang tool to express themselves.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005592Magkano naman po ang nakalaan o nakalaan sa kasaysayan sa paggamit ng FSL sa higher education?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005593Para maka-coordinate ng support for the accessibility needs of deaf youth for college enrollment, especially in SUCs.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005594Kasama na rin po yung UP pero ang iba pa rin mga universidad din sana.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005595Sadly po, Mr. Speaker, wala rin po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005596Sa kasaysayan din nito, wala?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005597Yes po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005598Okay.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005599Paano naman po ang use of FSL?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005600FSL in media, in coordination, monitoring, and overall engagement with the MTRCV, DepEd, and ECCDC.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005601For example, sa pagbuo ng minimum standards for the National Information and Communication Policy for the Deaf and Filipino Sign Language.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005602Meron po bang nakalaan ditong pondo?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005604Unfortunately po, Mr. Speaker, wala rin pong nakalagay na budget.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005605But kasama rin po ito sa budget request.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005606Paano naman po kung ang pagpinansa or pagfinans ng National Council for Children's Television para po maging platform ito ng alternative learning systems, lalo na ng mga kabataan?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005607Wala rin po bang pondo dito?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005622So wala rin po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005623This is the case for, for example, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005624Yes po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005625Siguro ang panghuli, Mr. Speaker, for implementation, evaluation of policies and guidelines for the creation of disaster-related advisories, announcements, information campaigns, crisis advisories,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005626na sana accessible for deaf viewers, including deaf children, na dahil nga hindi po nila as naririnig yung mga announcements kung ito po ay delivered in teams,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005627TV, or in announcements, makikita sana in, na may FSL practitioner gumagawa nito, may nakalaan po bang pondo, may ganoon po bang programa na naginawa ang KWF?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005628Mr. Speaker, we agree with you, but ang pinakakasya lang po nila is yung kanilang 3.1 million for all their programs.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005629Mr. Speaker, is this also the case?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005630This is for addressing the needs of deaf children and youth in the BARM, historically na bababa talaga yung pondo dito, pero dumadami din po yung poverty incidents, education crisis sa children in BARM.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005631Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005632Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, nakakalungkot na marinig na ganoon po kakaunti ang pondo na hindi po nagagawa yung mga sanang naaabot.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005633ng mga accessibility services na inaasahan natin yung FSL unit ng KWF na makakapagbigay ng serbisyo.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005634Ang huli na lang pong tanong, ano-ano po ba ang mga nagawang programa at aktibitad ng KWF para sa deaf children and youth?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005635Katuwang ng Council for the Welfare of Children.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005636Mr. Speaker, sa kasalukuyan po, meron po silang IAC na regular pong nagmi-meet. And yung funding po na ginagamit dito ay nanggagaling lang din po doon sa 3.1 million na allocation po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005637Sir Speaker, kung maaari na lang po lahat ng mga naibigay na sagot sa atin, pati rin po yung mga aktibidad na para nakasentro sa kabataan at sa bata,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005638maibigay bilang report from the KWF sa opisina ng representasyon na ito, sana po sa lunes ay available na para po magamit natin sa mga ating paghahain ng mga requests for additional budget, if any.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005639At yung sinabi pong wish list, kung pwede rin pong maibigay.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005642Sa huli, sumusuporta tayo sa paglaan ng sapat na pondo para sa pagpapaunlad ng ating mga wika.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005643Ang pambansang wikang Filipino man yan, o ang marami nating wikang katutubo, maging ang Filipino Sign Language.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005644Sana nakikita natin kung paano nagagawa ng KWF yung kanilang mandato sa mga programa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005645na pwede nilang gawin para po maibigay itong mga serbisyo, lalo na po sa mga kabata, ang pinaka-nangangailangan nito.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005646We will lobby at the proper time for the increase in the budget of the programs of KWF, especially for our deaf youth and children.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005647Though, let it be on public record, show na maraming inaasahan sa KWF at marami rin pong hindi nahatid po ito sa ngayon.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-005648So, maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, for yielding.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005654Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005655Ilang mga katanungan po tungkol sa budget ng Commission sa Wikang Filipino.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005656Sa budget, sa General Appropriations Bill, nakalagay dito Commission on the Filipino Language.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005657115.714 million pesos ang nihinging budget. Napakaliit na budget.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005658Sa isang komisyon na napakahalaga ng mandato, yan ang pagpapaunlad, pagpapalago, pagpapalaganap sa gamit ng Pilipino bilang pambansang wika at mga wikang Pilipino.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005659Ang realidad po, isang multilingual na lipunan ng ating bansa.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005660Ngunit, tila hindi pa kinikilala
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005661at umaangkop ang mga institusyon ng ating lipunan sa realidad na ito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005662Mula sa mga paaralan, sa mass media, at unang-una na ang gobyerno. Multilingual tayo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005663So, dapat umangkop ang gobyerno at ang budget para dito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005664So, tingnan po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005665Tingnan po natin yung budget, 115 million pesos, at isa ang programa, Filipino and Other Philippine Languages Development Program.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005666Pwede po bang paliwanag ng sponsor?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005667Ano-ano po ba ang mga programa at ano ang ginagawa?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005668Nang KWF para isulong ka ang kanyang mandato kaugnay sa wikang Pilipino at mga wika ng Pilipinas.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005669Ano-ano yung ginagawa nila under this program?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005670Mr. Speaker, pagbuo po ng otografiya, pagbuo po ng mga glosaryo,
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005671diksyonaryo, pananaliksik, aral, at sa etno-linguistic communities.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005672Okay. Anong mga wika po ang sinusuportahan ng Komisyon sa Wikang Pilipino? Aling mga wika yan?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005673Meron po tayong 135 po na wika.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005674Opo, 135. Pero, gustuhin man natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005675Magpakatotoo tayo, hindi natututukan ng KWF ang lahat ng wikang yan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005676So, yung mga programa, lalo na para sa proposed budget, ang actual na budget ay 85.3 million pesos lamang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005677Ano ang mga kongkretong gagawin yan sa 2027?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005678Thank you very much.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005679Ang pinag-protectan po ay 10 wika.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00568010 wika? Ano-ano po yun?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005681Ang pinakamalubhang nanganganib.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005682Ano-ano po yun?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005683Mr. Speaker, noted on this, we will let the agency submit to the Committee for Media Compliance.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005684Isusumiti na lang po namin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005685Ay, isusumiti po. Okay.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005686Pero, ito po.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005687Isa po ay buniking binukignon, bukidnon, mahagat, amatikanon, inata, inete, kabalyanon, kaluyanen, karulano, malaynon, at orohanon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005688So, mukhang ang focus po na binabanggit nyo ngayon ay yung mga endangered.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005689Ang pinag-protecting na wika, ganun po ba?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005690Tama po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005691At karamihan ay nasa Mindanao.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005692Mga wika ng indigenous groups, tama po ba?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005693Tama po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005694Okay. Gusto lang po natin malaman, ano yung particular na budget at programa kung meron man ang Commission sa Wikang Filipino para sa Filipino Sign Language?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005695So, nabanggit po ito ng unang nag-interpelate, si representative ko, nais ko pong banggitin din, kaya po ako nagtatanong dahil isang, ako po ang principal author ng Republic Act 11106, Filipino Sign Language Act.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005696At minamandato po doon, ang lead agency dito ay ang Commission sa Wikang Filipino.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005697So, magkano ang ilalaan?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005698Ang pondo ng KWF para sa implementasyon ng Filipino Sign Language Act. Kung meron man.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-0056994.7 million po for 2027.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0057004.7 million pesos. At para saan po yan? Ano po ang specific na gamit dito?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005701Ang makalit na halaga na po. Para saan po yan?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005702For the interpreting systems po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005703Interpreting. So, FSL, Filipino Sign Language Interpreting.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005704Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005705Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005706Thank you.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005707Sapat na po ba yan? Ang pondo na yan ay sapat na para ma-fulfill ang managin?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005708Andato sa KWF?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005709Mr. Speaker, hindi po ito sapat. Ang tutuusin. Pero pinakakasa po ng Commission.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005710Hindi sapat. Magkano ang dagdag na kailangan ng FSL?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-00571127 million po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00571227 million.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005713Yes po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00571427 million ang kailangan. 4 million lang ang nakalaan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005716Handa po ba
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005717At nagsubmit po ba ang FSL ng Kaukulang Request for Institutional Amendment sa Committee on Appropriations para mapunuan ito?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005718Yes po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005719So, may submission po. So, in other words, maaaring matalakay ito sa iko-convene na BARC.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005720Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005721Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee ng Committee on Appropriations.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005722So, okay. Asahan niyo po na susuportahan po natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005723For as long as na-submit niyo yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005724institutional amendment, ay susuportahan po natin ito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005725Mabanggit ko na rin po na bilang bahagi ng implementation ng Filipino Sign Language Act,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005726meron pong dalawang deaf officers ang KWF.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005727Pero mga job order or contract of service.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005728Tama po ba? Do you confirm this?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005729Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005730Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005731Wala po bang proposal ang KWF para mabigyan ng plantilla positions,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005732mag-create ng plantilla positions for the positions of deaf officers?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005733Obviously, meron po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005734Kailangan. Para ma-implement yung batas, kailangan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005735So, meron po. Kasama po ba dun sa inyong proposal na 27 million ang plantilla positions para sa dalawang ito?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005736Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005737Yes. Okay. So, salamat po kung gayon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005738At asahan po ninyo na susuportahan natin ang mungkahing Institutional Amendments for additional 27 million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005739Napakaliit na halaga na lang po ito para sa Filipino deaf, mga kababayan nating bingi sa buong bansa.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005740At now, let me move on.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005741Let me move on to another topic.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005742Ito po ay sumulat po sa amin at kahit po sa, alam ko, kahit sa commission kay KWF Chair,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005743Attorney Marites Barrios-Taran, ang isang professor ng Filipino sa UP.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005744Sa totoo lang, naging kasamahan ko po sa Departamento ng Filipino at Panitikan ng Pilipinas.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005745Ang professor na ito, si Romel.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005746Romel Rodriguez, Professor Romel Rodriguez, omeng.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005747Ilala ko po siya bilang omeng dahil matagal po kaming nagkasama, nagturo kami sa Filipino Department for a long time.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005748Noong 2022, siya po ay author ng manuskritong kalatas, mga kwentong bayan at kwentong buhay na ginawa sa ilalim ng KWF.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005749Pero noong Agosto 2022, naglabas po ng memo, ang KWF, tinawag na subersibo at may red tagging pa sa author at sa akdang ito, kasama ng iba pa.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005750So total limang authors at mga akda nila ang dineklarang subersibo ng KWF, kaya pinigilan ang paglabas, ang publication.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005751Subsequently, naging issue po, dinala po kahit dito sa Kongreso during the budget deliberations, at winit draw yung memo na iyon ng KWF.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005752Gayunpaman, mula noon, 2022 hanggang ngayon, ay hindi na nalabas yung libro.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005753Ngayon, ang isang author po na ito, si omeng, si Professor Romel Rodriguez, ay nagtatanong po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005754Pinaghirapan, tinrabaho, at magandang kalidad.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005755Ito po natin, si Professor Rodriguez, alam natin, isa sa mga batikang manunulat, awarded, at scholar, scholar, talag-tunay, genuine scholar, tagapagsulong ng wikang Filipino.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005756So ngayon, nag-aapila po siya. Ano na nangyari sa kanyang libro, bakit hindi pa rin nilalabas?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005757And in fact, humihingi po ng dialogue with the KWF.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005758Meron po bang update ang komisyon sa kasong ito?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005759Bakit nakaipit?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005760Bakit nakaipit pa rin yung libro?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005761Ano ito? Hindi katanggap-tanggap. Kaya nga pinabawi yung memo eh, dahil censorship po ito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005762And red tagging, wala namang basis para tawaging subersibo o red tagging.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005763Ang akda, red tag, ang akda.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005764Ano po ang update dito?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005765Mr. Speaker, KWF will act on this after going through the ISO.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005766Process, accreditation process, and publication.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005767And Mr. Speaker, kaisa niyo po kami dito.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005768It's just that yung komisyon cannot accept or publish sole authorship even though the author have withdrawn.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005769the said manuscript last
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-0057702024 po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005771Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005772Pakilinaw lang po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005773may posibilidad
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005774pa po ba na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005775mailabas ng KWF
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005776ang akdaang ito?
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005777Sa ngayon po, sir, wala po kasi
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005778wala po sa commission
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005779ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005780manuscript. Wala sa commission
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005781ang manuscript pero mukhang
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005782na-withdraw na po noong 2024
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005783pa po.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005784And bawal din po nilang
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005785i-publish ang sole authorship.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005786Okay. Ayon sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005787sulat niya na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005788actually naka-address sa chair ng commission
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005789sabi rito, sumusulat ako
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005790sa inyo ngayon bilang taga-pangulo
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005791ng commission, so naka-address po sa chair
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005792ng KWF para sa hakbangin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005793na ilabas ang aking libro.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005794So mukhang gusto talaga noong author
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005795na ilabas. Meron na itong
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005796ISBN, yung ISBN number
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005797subalit hindi na tuloy
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005798ang sirkulasyon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005799Maging ako, walang kopya nito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005800So yun
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005801ang sinasabi po niya.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005802So ang sinasabi niya,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005803apparently, as far as he's concerned,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-005804hindi niya ma-withdraw, nasa inyo pa.
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005805As per records po,
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go
asr-005806na-withdraw na po noong 2024
Rep. Ed Christopher S. Go

asr-005809dahil detalye na po to,

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-005980I rise today to sponsor the DNR budget, the meager 28 billion only budget para sa ating lahat ng K, kapaligiran, karagatan, kalupaan, kada... lahat ng may K, basta.

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

Rep. Gil "KabarangayJr" Acosta
asr-005985Mr. Speaker, I move to recognize Representative Dadah Kiram Ismula of Akbayan Party-list, to interpolate to sponsor the proposed budget of the DENR.
Rep. Gil "KabarangayJr" Acosta
asr-005986Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my motion.
Rep. Gil "KabarangayJr" Acosta
asr-005987I move to recognize Representative Presley C. De Jesus, Partylist, PHILRECA, for his interpellation.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-005989The gentleman from PHILRECA Party-list, Honorable Presley De Jesus. If the sponsor is ready, you may start, sir.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005997Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And of course, to the good sponsor who is my boss, not only an environmentalist, but also when it comes to energy, he's the master. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good morning, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005998Good afternoon. Sorry. Question. Is the good sponsor aware that during the recent haze episode, some parts of the country recorded 24-hour PM2.5 levels of 48 and 46 micrograms per cubic meter on September 1 and 2?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005999Some parts recorded PM2.5 air quality index.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006000Readings ranging from 203 to 245 up to approximately 211.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006001Mr. Speaker, Mr. English Colleague, yung haze na yan, galing yan sa Indonesia. Ang tanging makakatanggal dyan, Mr. Speaker, isang malakas lang na ulan. Iyong ulan na ngayon eh. So ulan na yun. Kalimutan na natin muna yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006002Diba?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006003Kung walang ulan, we have to worry.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006004Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I told you. Magdating dyan, magaling talaga si Don Pipito.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006005Follow up. As a brief context, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006006These readings are significant because PM2.5 consists of very fine particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006007With cardiovascular and...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006008Respiratory effects.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006009Again, to clarify those readings, exceeded the 35 micrograms per cubic meter, 24-hour limits cited by Environmental Management Bureau under DAO 2020-14.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006010But again, you mentioned...
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006011Na ba yun, Mr. Speaker? We are aware of that. 25 micrograms.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006012Eh, talagang mabigat yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006013Pag it subsists for 24 hours, eh kawawa naman tayo dito sa Manila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006014That's why may warning na tayo na habang nandyan yung haze na yan, but the 25 micrograms, eh, only persisted for a while.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006015It did not last long. So pagkatapos ng ulan, heavy rain will wipe it out.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006016I suppose the rains are welcome in order to answer for your concerns.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006017I told you, Mr. Speaker, it's good.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006018Follow-up question, Mr. Speaker, this yung sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006019Those readings are classified as very unhealthy. Is it true?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006020Tama.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006021Very unhealthy yan. Tama yan.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006022And DNR-EMB attributed at least part of this episode to possible transboundary smoke from forests and landfires in Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006023Kalimantan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006024Kalimantan is not so much, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006025Ang sunog talaga sa Indonesia, nagsisimula yan doon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006026Kasi hanggang ngayon, nagpuputol pa sila ng second growth para magtanim ng klapasawit, yung palm oil.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006027Kung ang hangin ngayon papunta rin sa atin, eh talagang magsasaper tayo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006028That's why nga, we are praying always for the rain.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006029But your sighting of 25 micrograms, mabigat yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006030Eh, talagang hindi namin pa nandito ang DNR.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006031Kaya, Mr. Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006032distinguished sponsor,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006033tagdagan natin, nakita mo yung budget ng DNR, napakaliit para sa pag-safeguard ng ating kapaligiran,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006034yung ating hangin na hinihinga.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006035Eh, tulungan mo naman ito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006036Imbis na lumaki, noong 2025, 26 lang.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-0060372026, naging 27.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006038At 2024 pala, 2025, naging 26.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006039Ngayon, 2026 tayo, naging 27.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006040Sa 2027, 28 lang ang hinihingi.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006041Sos, napakaliit nito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006042Paano naman yung ating mga kababayan sa buong Pilipinas,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006043pag ganyan ang nag-persist yan ng dalawang araw, maraming talagang magkakasakit, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006044Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006045And I agree 100% to the distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006046My follow-up question, in fact, EMB Region 12 itself acknowledged
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006047that at the time, only its Coronadal station could analyze PM 2.5.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006048Meaning, that similarly elevated pollution in other areas could be difficult to detect or quantify.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006049Is this accurate, Mr. Speaker?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006050Meron silang DNR in order to warn our populace.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006051Meron silang daily advisory.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006052Kung talagang ganyan, pag lumabas ka, eh, maglagay ka na ng maskara.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006053Kung hindi mo mapigilan lumabas ng bahay.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006054Pero kung lumabas ka lang, makaosyoso ka lang.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006055Huwag ka na manigarilyo sa labas. Huwag ka na manigarilyo sa labas.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006056Mas grabe yun, Mr. Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006057Distinguished colleague, pigilan natin yan na yung advisories ng DNR sundin natin
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006058para huwag na lumabas yung pag may ganyan na talagang mataas na yung pollutants.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006059Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006060Thank you, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006061Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, the issue presented here
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006062is not merely whether DNR can record deteriorating air quality,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006063but whether its monitoring network is sufficiently extensive
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006064and whether dangerous readings actually trigger timely public warnings,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006065health coordination, and pollution control measures.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006066Would the distinguished sponsor agree with me?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006067As of 12 o'clock today, yung Kutabato na talagang doon ang malapit masyado pumunta yung haze.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006068Eh, fair na yung...
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006069Fair na yung...
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006070Kapaligiran.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006071Medyo makakahinga na sila doon ng tama.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006072Only in Mindanao area, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006073Mindanao area.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006074Aba't in Metro Manila, wala na po.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006075Wala masyado na ito. The rains will wipe it out.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006076Through rain.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006077That's why we need the rain.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006078Thank you.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006079Follow up.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006080When these thresholds were breached, what specific DNR protocol was activated?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006081Can the good sponsor please inform us?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006082To the specific of the protocol, the date it was activated, the public health advisories issued,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006083the LGUs formally noticed, whether DOH was formally noticed,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006084and whether DNR initiated any action under the Asian Transboundary Haze Mechanism.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006085Ito po ba eh, well coordinated po among our agencies?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006086Yes, pinapalaganap natin yung information, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006087Radio, sa TV,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006089continuous naman yung air quality,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006090quality monitoring from the 10 in the evening,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006091ayun, naging 2.5 na ngayon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006092Tapos yung mga daily, through daily advisories,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006093and radio programs,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006094na-advise natin yung general public.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006095Thank you, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006096In connection with this, the NEP sets a 2027 target of 80% of highly urbanized cities
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006097and major urban centers.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006098Within the Ambient Air Quality Guideline Values.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006099The reported actual in 2025 was 71%.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006100Is this correct, Mr. Speaker?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006101Tama po yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006102Yung monitoring ng DNR, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, ambient lang, meaning to say, outside lang talaga.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006103Okay.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006104So, can you explain what's this 80% compliance means?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006105What is the denominator?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006106That is, how many highly urbanized cities and major urban centers are covered by this indicator?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006107How many cities does 80% actually represent?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006108And which cities failed the standard in the latest complete reporting year?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006113Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, hindi pa sila nakaka-100% pero information, 70% pa lang.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-00611470%?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006115Which cities po ang hindi pa failed po?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006116Do you have the cities who failed this test?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006117Meron pa tayo?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006118As far as the monitoring, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, yung kanilang mga monitoring aparatos, okay naman yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006119Kaya lang, siyempre, they cannot be present everywhere.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006120At saka yung haze, we cannot determine.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006121It depends kung alin ang umiiral na hangin, habagat ba o amihan ba.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006122Ngayon, habagat pa tayo eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006123Before the end of the month, titira na yung amihan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006124Pababa na.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006125Doon na naman sa amin, sa Palawan, dadalhin yung haze.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006126Kaya, mabuti na lang.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006127Mabuti na lang, meron kami arplano sa Palawan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006128Takbo ko agad ako dito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006129Kaya, nandito sa Kongreso, walang masyadong haze dito, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006130Thank you, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006131Now, let me go to water resources, resource issues.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006132Can the good sponsor confirm that the Angat Dam fell into its minimum operating level this year?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006133Angat Dam?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006134Angat Dam.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006135Napuno na nga yun eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006136Nung ilang linggo tayo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006137Napuno na nga yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006138Nag-release nga sila ng tubig.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006139Kaya, nagreklamo si Kongresman Bundok na nagbaha doon sa Pampanga.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006140Dahil doon, hindi mo ba alam yun, Mr. Speaker, Kongres?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006141So, in short, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, hindi pala totoo itong report ko.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006142Talagang nag-overflow pa.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006143Nag-overflow nga, kaya nagbukas eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006144Kaya nag-alit si Kongresman Bundok dito, nagmamuras.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006145Pinasipay ko lang, huwag ka na mag-alit.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006146Kasi ulan man yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006147Hindi natin pwedeng pigilin yung ulan, Mr. Speaker, Mr. English Colleague.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006148I was telling you, Mr. Speaker, it's good.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006149Lastly, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, what reservoir elevation does the government currently target for December 31, 2026?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006150And what is NWRB's current assessment of the probability or risk category for supply restrictions
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006151during the 2026?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-0061522027, dry season.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006153At least ngayon, Mr. Speaker, Mr. English Colleague, 212 meters para.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006154But nung before sa zona, 150 lang yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006155Grabe talaga ulan.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006156So, in short, Mr. Speaker, during the dry season, that would be suffice?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006157Mayroon naman ang kabantay doon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006158Hindi naman yung payagan na talagang mag-overflow yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006159Baka sirain pa yung dam na yan. Napakasayang.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006160Tsaka pag-alita na naman ni Congresswoman Gundok si San Miguel sa airport niya.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006161Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006162Distinguished Sponsor, in connection to this, Mr. Speaker, the department's program,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006163the NWRB Water Resource Vulnerability and Sustainability Assessment Program,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006164produce science-based information on water availability, water quality, groundwater, and climate risks.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006165Is this correct?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006166Kanyo, kanyo, Mr. Speaker, kanyo, distinguished colleague, yung water quality, yung question mo, kanyo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006167I don't get it.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006168Can you restate the question, please?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006169Okay.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006170In connection to this, Mr. Speaker, the department's program, the NWRB Water Resources Vulnerability and Sustainability Assessment Program,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006171produce science-based information on water availability, water quality, groundwater, and climate risks.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006172Is this correct?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006173Yes, that is correct.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006174That's done by NWRB.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006175In the person of...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006176Was this the program allocated approximately 137.3 million in 2026?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006177Napondono ba natin ng 2026 to?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006178Yes.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006179And how about next year's budget?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006180Did we increase from 137 million?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006181Actually, NWRB is requesting for more, but because of the fiscal space, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, medyo nabawasan nga lahat eh.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006182So, it went down from 137, it went down to 100.6 million?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006183Yes, Mr. Speaker, yes.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006184What's the reason behind?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006185How come, as we know, DNR is very important and very close to my heart.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006186Bakit po bumaba?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006187How come it was reduced from 137?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006188From 137 to 100 million.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006189Ang budget?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006190This is true all across the board, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, but yung in particular, NWRB, bumaba talaga from 132, naging 95 na lang, 0.999.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006191Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006192So, wala tayong magawa kung the executive has mandated everyone to reduce budget.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006193They have to live with it.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006194Maganda sana yung progressive na paket na yung gamit ng pera para matugunan lahat ng pangangailangan, but we have to heed the fiscal restraint.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006195Pati NWRB, bumaba, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006196Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, but again, meanwhile, the Water Resources Management Program increases from approximately 20 million to 50 million or 154.5%.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006197So, baka dito napunta naman.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006198Yung pondo nabawas.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006199Because there's a difference of something like 30 million.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006200Are they correlated?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006201In the listing, there are water-related projects.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006202If I will enumerate, masyadong matagal po ito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006203But, ginawa nalang nila ng paraan, prioritize na lang kung saan nila magagamit yung pondo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006204Para magkapanan naman yung...
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006205Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006206Yung pangangailangan natin doon sa NWRB.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006207You mean, Mr. Speaker, order of priority.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006208So, again, I think the Water Resources Management Program increases.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006209So, mas importante siguro ito ngayon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006210Kaya nga, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, I really ask your help.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006211Kung gusto mo, meron silang request na 668 million additional.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006212Kasi tinanggalan eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006213So, maliit masyado yung...
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006214Sila ngayon, tanggalan pa natin.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006215Eh, very major na nga yung budget.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006216And we are asking too much from them.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006217Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006218Thank you, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006219Which activities will not be conducted because of the 36.7 million reduction in vulnerability and sustainability assessment?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006220How many river basins, aquifers, groundwater assessments?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006221Vulnerability maps or monitoring activities were programmed under the 2026 level?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006222And how many will be delivered under the 2027 proposal?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006223Yung general assessment sa lahat ng mga katubigan natin, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006224Ang hindi nila mapiperforma yun, katulad nung Pampanga Basin na yan, all the way to the north.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006225Eh, there is no such thing.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006226Nothing as water as coming from the underground.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006227Lahat po ng tubig, eh, gagaling yan sa ulan, nag-infiltrate papunta sa baba.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006228When there is so much extraction of water from the underground, nagkukulang yun dyan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006229So, DNR is mandated to find a way how to recharge it with recharging the underground aquifer,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006230whether from the river or from the rain or whatever, at meron silang measurement.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006231Iyon po ang magsasaper ngayon, that's equivalent to 36 million na tinanggal.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006232Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006233Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006234Again, I support the budget of the DNR because they're a good sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006235Hindi ko pwedeng tanggiyan, no? Napakagaling.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006236Not only environmentalist, but it's energy.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006237And of course, to the secretary, you have a good team.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006238The USEC, the assistant secretaries, look at them, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006239Of course, Mr. Miguel Labina, their consultant.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006240At isa rin sa pinakamagalya.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006241Again, for the 2027 budget of the DNR, I fully support po ang budget.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006242Dapat dagdagan po natin ito kasi ito po ang ating pinakaimportanteng department.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006243Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006244Maraming salamat, Mr. Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006245Thank you very much, Honorable Presley De Jesus.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006246Majority Leader.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006247Sana pakinggan po tayo ng...
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006248Majority Leader.
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006249Mr. Speaker, next to interpolate the sponsor, I move to recognize...
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006250Representative Dadah Kiram Ismula from Partylist, Akbayan.
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006251So move, Mr. Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006252The gentlelady from Partylist, Akbayan, Representative Dadah Kiram Ismula,
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006253Assalamu alaikum, you may now interpolate our sponsor.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006254Mr. Speaker, request permission to speak in the vernacular.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006255Very short, and if you can, the gentleman from Palawan,
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006256after you speak, translate in Tagalog or English
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006257so that other people present in the plenary will be able to understand.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006258Problema, Mr. Speaker, bisaya man kami, parehas.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006259So magbinisayaan lang kami dito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006260Para mabilis ba?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006261Yung hindi nakakaintindi, Mr. Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006261-split-2Pasensya na lang. The sponsor and the interpellator are both Bisaya,
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006262that they could speak bisaya.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006263It would be difficult because those who are recording our meeting
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006264would be having a hard time because they do not understand bisaya.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006265Please continue.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006268Honorable
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006269Ismula, please.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006270Assalamu alaikum, marahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006271Lisod ka ayo i-bisaya kay naka-Englishman ng akong kwestyon, no?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006272So mag-English na lang ta.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006273Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006274para sa aking katanungan, unahin ko ang usapin ng karapatan ng ating mga katutubo.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006275Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006276can you confirm that...
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006277...projects under the DNR's jurisdiction require free, prior, and informed consent
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006278kapag ito ay within or overlaps with an ancestral domain?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006279Yes, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006280FPIC is always required.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006281Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006282Good sponsor, ano po ang examples ng mga projects na kadalasan nangangailangan ng mga FPIC
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006283kapag ito ay within or...
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006284...overlaps an ancestral domain.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006285Kung within, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006286ano mga projects?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006287Water system, hydroelectric plants,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006288eh, yung malawakang pagtanim sa dalawang kanti o kansi.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006289Kailangan, unahin mo muna yung isa.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006290Hindi pwedeng ipagsabay mo yung FPIC sa dalawang magkatabing kansi o kanti.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006291Para magkaroon ka ng dalawang approval para yung overlapping plantation mo sa...
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006292...kabila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006293Limbawa, pagkatanim ng kape dito sa kansi, sa may kansi dito, kumuha mong FPIC ka rin sa kabila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006294Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, yan po ang procedure.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006295Tama po yun, no, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006296Can the DENR confirm if the 2027 budget includes a specific allocation for FPIC monitoring and enforcement?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006297Bah!
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006298Sandali lang, Mr. Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006299FPIC, hindi DENR ang gumagastos noon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006300NCIP dapat, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006301Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006302For monitoring and enforcement purposes.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006303Pwede sila mag-present kasi sila yung issue ng CADC at saka CADT.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006304Pwede sila mag-present doon kasama ng NCIP.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006305But principal, basta may CADC at saka CADT, lalo na overlapping, NCIP talaga yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006306Ang DENR observer lang po doon, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006307So, ibig sabihin po, distinguished sponsor, wala pong nakalaang budget para sa monitoring ng FPIC.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006308And enforcement nito sa DENR.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006309FPIC, observe lang sila doon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006310Pero yung, if your project is big enough, kailangan ka ng ECC, di ba?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006311ECC is a planning tool.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006312Ayun, DENR doon, may budget sila para doon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006313Meron,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006313-split-2okay.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006314How much po ang nakalaan para dito sa NEP ng 2027?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006315Pakaliit pa lang nito, Mr. Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006316Pero, yung AMB, MGV, NWRB, 726 million lang sa 2026, ga-a.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006317Ngayon, we're asking for 816 sa 2027 NEP.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006318Distinguish sa colleague, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006319Naka-line item po ba ito o nakapaloob lamang sa general monitoring funds ng DENR?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006320Nakapaloob, Mr. Speaker, sa general fund.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006321Good sponsor.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006322Kaya ako ito, tinatanong ko, dahil kung walang malinaw na budget line,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006323paano po masisiguro ng DENR na ang FPIC ay fully implemented at hindi magiging token ng compliance lamang?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006324Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, I will now proceed with the tools na mahalaga para sa environmental oversight naman po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006325Ang Executive Order No. 79, dated July 7 of 2012,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006326at Executive Order No. 130, dated April 14 of 2021,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006327call for the updating and issuance of updated unified maps of mining areas,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006328geohazard areas, protected areas, and watersheds.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006329Naproduce po ba ng DENR ang unified map na ito?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006330Mayroon bang map na yan?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006331Ah, Mr. Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006332As distinguished colleague, mayroong updated map by virtue of that Executive Order na laganap po nilang naplane yung tungkol sa MINA at sa mga boundaries.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006333Mayroon po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006334So may unified na map po tayo.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006335Mayroon bang line item din po dito na for 2027 budget sa DENR ang inalocate para naman po makontinue yung unified map na ito at magkano?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006336Mayroon?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006337Saan?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006338Mayroon, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006339Thank you.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006340Ang amount para po magtuloy-tuloy yan, 713 million.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006341Salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006342Kung naproduce po ito, nakascade na po ba ito sa mga LGUs para po for their own use?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006343Oo.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006343-split-2Yung MAPA.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006344Ah, yung MAPA, nabigyan na yung mga concerned LGUs na po.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006345Sir Speaker, distinguished colleague. Mayroon, nabigyan po sila.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006346Salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006347So, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, patuloy pa rin ba ang DENR sa pag-supervise ng mine audits?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006348At kung patuloy pa rin ito, magkano ang budget na nakalaan para dito?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006349Under what line item for 2027 budget po?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006350Mine audit?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006351Wala?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006352Hindi ko alam magkano budget po.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006353Sorry, time pa lang.
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano
asr-006354Okay.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006355Dali lang.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006356Dali, ako pa 6 minutes.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006361Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006362Yung strengthening doon sa, ayun, para magpatuloy, maliit man ito, nakakahiya.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-00636323 million, baka manipaigo, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, para mapatuloy yung mapping na yun.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006364Tama po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006365Tingin ko po, ito'y kulang din po, no?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006366Oo.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006367para mapagpatuloy nila yung patungkol sa budget na ito para masupervise nila yung pag-audit sa mga...
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006368Anyway, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, kaugnay pa rin po sa mining, ano ang status of the mining in Sibuyan Island owned by Altai Minerals Development Corporation, nakarating po sa aking opisina na ito ay temporarily nahinto dahil sa barikada ng mga mamamayan at mismo ang LGU at local residents ang nagpapatawag na i-cancel na ang mining contract.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006369Mr. Speaker, di ba yung Sibuyan Island, maliit lang nga yun eh. So dapat talaga i-suspendihin. As of now, suspended yun, Mr. Speaker, I'm distinguished colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006370May plano po ba ang DNR na i-resume ito?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006371Wala pa, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006372Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006373Hinding-hindi dapat maging kapalit ng mining ang karapatan at mabuting kalagayan ng mga komunidad.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006374Ang kahit anong economic activity sa ating bansa ay dapat nakaayon sa utos ng Saligang Batas.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006375Na bawat Pilipino ay may karapatan sa isang balanced at healthful ecology.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006376Maraming salamat, Mr. Sponsor, sa pagsagot sa mga tanong na iyan.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006377Ngayon po, nais ko naman pong balikan ang issue patungkol sa Financial or Technical Assistance Agreements o FTAA.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006378Noong budget briefing po, na-raise ko ang tungkol sa renewal ng FTAAs.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006379Can the DNR explain their role in the FTAA?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006380Isa lang, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague. Sa Region 1, yung Altamina Exploration and Resources, Iron Ore, Gold and Vanadium Resources (Philippines), Inc.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006381Sa Region 2, yung OceanaGold.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006382Sa MIMAROPA, sa amin, yung Agusan Petroleum and Minerals Corporation, pero hindi pa ito pinayagan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006383Region 12, Sagittarius Mines.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006384Lahat ito.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006385So, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, ano po kaya ang role ng DNR dito sa FTAAs?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006386Nagmo-monitor lang, Mr. Speaker, ng compliance.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006387Monitoring. Salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006388Kinoconfirm din po sa budget hearing na DNR na merong allocated budget para sa monitoring at enforcement ng FTAAs.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006389Distinguished Sponsor, paano ginagamit ng DNR ang halagang ito para palakasin ang monitoring at enforcement ng FTAAs?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006390Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, siyempre, kung may pera sila, they have to travel kasi they cannot do the monitoring dito lang sila sa Manila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006391Pumunta katulad sa Cebu yan, they have to go there.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006392Katulad doon sa Humonhon, kailangan pumunta sila doon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006393Ang daming mina.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006394Sa Palawan nga, meron kaming mining moratorium for 50 years, pinirmahan nila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006395So, wala na kaming bagong ina-accept ng mga application.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006396Kaya yung ibang mga probinsya, sabihin mo, Mr. Speaker, gumawa din ng mining moratorium.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006397Maraming salamat po, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006398Iko-confirm ko lang din po na sakaling may nahuli kayo dito na lumalabag sa FTAAs po during your monitoring, ano po yung ginagawa nila?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006399Distinguished sponsor.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006400Kung nag-ooperate pa yan, Mr. Speaker, suspended immediately.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006401Pagkatapos, pag nag-violet pa talaga, eh talagang hindi lang suspended.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006402Yan, multahan yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006403Kung hindi naman madala sa multa, eh ang DNR, baka ilibing na lang nila yun doon sa gamitin yung bakho, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006404Kinakasuhan din po ba natin?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006405Eh, due process pala. I'm sorry.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006406Hindi pala pwede yung bakho gagamitin doon pag hindi sumunod sa DNR.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006407So, kinakasuhan po natin sakaling lumabag?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006408Kaso, multa.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006409Hindi pa talaga pumayag sa multa.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006410Bakho.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006411Eh, lalo na kung hindi.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006412Kaya naman, Pilipino citizen, eh alam mo na kung anong parosa, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006413Tama po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006414Kasama rin po ba rito ang pagsuri kung compliant ang isang FTAA proposal sa mga requirements
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006415gaya ng Environmental Compliance Certificate or FPIC bago ito ma-approve?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006416Tama, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague. You're very correct.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006417Na-e-ensure ba ng DNR na ang mga renewal ay di nagiging automatic at sumasailalim pa rin
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006418sa pagpasa ng mga requirements?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006419Mr. Speaker, hindi automatic. Talagang ina-isa-isa yan.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006420Maraming salamat po sa pag-confirm, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006421Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, ngayong araw ko lang po natanggap ang sagot ng DNR
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006422hinggil sa FTAA No. 1 ng Oceana Gold Philippines Inc.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006423at FTAA No. 2 ng Tampakan Project.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006424Ang paliwanag ng DNR ay sa FTAA No. 1,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006425walang grave abuse of discretion dahil ito raw ay sumusunod sa intention of the agreement.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006426At ang FTAA No. 2, restoration of the lost term naman daw po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006427Paano po ito na ipapaliwanag ng DNR sa ating mga lokal, sa ating mga katutubo?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006428Binababaan po ba natin ang ating mga komunidad para sabihin ang ganitong technical na reasoning sa kanila?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006429Siyempre, Mr. Speaker, unang-una, hirap ka mang pumasok doon kung may mga katutubong nagbabantay.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006430So, kailangan kasapin mo yan sila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006431Katulad ng Tampakan, eh patagal yan natulog ang Tampakan eh. Ngayon na lang yan tinatampak.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006432So, hopefully, if you ask me, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006433yung mina hindi naman talagang masama per se.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006434Basta huwag lang mag-abuso. Lalong-lalo na kung yung nagmimina ay Pilipino.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006435Ang ayaw natin makita, kung yung nagmimina,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006436hindi Pilipino. Dahil ang mina, reserve lang yan, natural resources,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006437is reserved only for Pilipino citizens.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006438I repeat that, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006439Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006440pakiusap naman po at pakisabihan ang DNR,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006441hindi pa po nila nabababaan ang komunidad.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006442Hindi pa po nila nasasabihan, naa-update sa status.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006443Nagpadala po kayo sa akin ng sulat,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006444pero hindi nyo po sinabihan sa baba.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006445Ang LGU lamang po ang sinabihan ninyo,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006446pero ang komunidad ay hindi.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006447In closing, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006448sa usapin ng pagprotekta sa ating kalikasan at pagtanggol sa katutubo,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006449dapat lang ay hindi nawawalan ng boses at karapatan
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006450ang ating mga komunidad na direktang apektado.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006451Ang DNR ay hindi Department of Extract Our Natural Resources.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006452Ang DNR ay pinagkatiwala ng taong bayan kasama ang mga katutubong Pilipino
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006453na pangalagaan ang ating kalikasan.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006454Maraming salamat, Distinguished Sponsor, for yielding to my question.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-006455Salamat po.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006456Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006457Takang salamat.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006458Next time pwede at i-allow nila magbinisaya at nakaka-kapoy kay magtinagalog.
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-006459Majority Leader?
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006460Madam Speaker, next to interpolate the sponsor,
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006461I move to recognize Representative Christopher Sheen Gonzales
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006462from the Lone District of Eastern Samar.
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006463So move, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-006464Representative Christopher Sheen Gonzales from the Lone District of Eastern Samar
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-006465is hereby recognized for his interpolation.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006466Maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker, to colleagues and to the good sponsor.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006467Magandang hapon po sa ating lahat.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006468Will the good sponsor yield for a few questions po?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006469Gladly, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006470Please, go ahead.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006471Madam Speaker, nung nakaraang budget briefing sa budget ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources,
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006472nag-commit ang ahensya particular po ang Mines and Geosciences Bureau na personal napuntahan ang isla ng Humonhon sa giwan Eastern Samar
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006473para mag-imbestiga ng mga reported issues and concerns sa ginagawang mining activities po doon.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006474Sa ngayon po, ang question ko po, Madam Speaker, to the good sponsor,
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006475nakapagsagawa po ba ng imbistigasyon ng ahensya sa isla ng Humonhon?
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006476Nakapagsagawa po ba ng mga actual inspection ng DENR o MGB sa isla ng Humonhon?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006477Madam Speaker, yes.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006478Ang tanong ko po, alam ko naman na nakita doon ng nag-inspeksyon ng mga taga-DENR.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006479Madam Speaker, kung mapatunayan po na may mga violations ang MPSA o mga nagmimina po doon,
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006480inaasahan po ng representasyong ito na gagawa po ng mga hakbang ang DENR at ang representasyon po ito ay babantayan ang mga pangyayaring ito.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006481So, sa tingin ko po, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006482ang nararapat po ba na sanksyon sa mga nag-iiligal kung meron man po, gagawin po ba ng DENR?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006483Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, ito lahat sila sa likod ko nagkocommit sa iyo na pag may mga violation dyan sa mina,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006484lalong-lalong na hindi Pilipino yung gumagawa ng mina, eh...
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006485Maraming salamat po.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006486Maraming salamat po.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006487Sobrang sila isandaan dito. They fully commit to support the local.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006488O yun, palakpak!
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006489Salamat, salamat.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006490During, with regards to the MPSA, during the DENR budget briefing, concerns were raised regarding possible violations of the terms and conditions
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006491governing these mining operations in MPSA.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006492The MPSA itself requires compliance with the Mining Act.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006493Its implementing rules, Madam Speaker, approve work programs and other applicable laws.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006494DENR, on the other hand, retains regularity, supervisory, and monitoring authority.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006495Ang tanong,
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006496maaari po bang mangako ulit ang DENR na ang kanilang isa sa gawa ay comprehensive review ng MPSA na ito, kasama ang lahat ng mga amendments, assignment, operating agreements, at kung nasusunod ba talaga ang mga terms and conditions dito?
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006497Madam Speaker, to the board sponsor...
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006498Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, lahat sila nung sa likod ko, in-ok.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006499Sabi nila, pag ikaw ang nag-lead doon sa inspection team at nakita nila, in spite doon sa mga monitoring nila, kung mayroon pang ibang violation, hindi lang suspension.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006500Kung hindi, talagang iteterminate yung pagmimina doon dahil napakaliit nung is lang yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006501Nadaan nga ako raw, wala nang matamnan eh, hukay na lang sila ng hukay.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006502Ayaw natin na yung humungun, pareha sa nauru.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006503Yung nauru, wala nang, wala nang phosphate.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006504Ang mga tao doon ngayon sa Australia na nakatira.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006505Lihit na lang yung village na naiwan kasi kot-kot sila ng kot-kot.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006506Naubos yung phosphate doon, wala na silang matirahan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006507Kawawa.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006508Dati, they were multi, multi-billion island.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006509Ngayon, I was there like 10 years ago.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006510Naawa ako dahil napakaliit nung isla.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006511Yung island of Nauru in the Pacific.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006512Going there, nawala pa kami sa Pasipiko.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006513Haha.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006514Buti na lang naka-landing kami sa Guam.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006515Maraming salamat po.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006516Madam Speaker and Distinguished Colleague, we will be with you na kung may mga violation yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006517Needless to say, hindi lang i-suspend.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006518Terminate talaga.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006519Kung hindi, ah, un-terminate, hindi.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006520Very kind pa yung terminate.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006521Babawiin yung MPSA.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006522Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006523Maraming salamat po to the good sponsor.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006524Maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006525Ah, napaka sarap pakinggan.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006526Alam niyo po.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006527Alam niyo po kasi yung isla ng Humonhon.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006528Ah, dito po nag-umpisa ang Kristyanismo.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006529Napaka-historic po yung lugar na to.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006530Kaya sa mga statement po ng ating butihing sponsor, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006531ito po ay nagpapakita sa kaseryosohan na pagmamahal sa mga tao at sa isla ng Humonhon.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006532At ako po ay nagagalak. Maraming salamat po, ah, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006533And to the, ah,
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006534DNR family, if that's so.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006535Alam po natin lahat na nangyayaring ito to the DNR family, especially sa ating butihing sekretary.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006536Hindi po ito ngayon.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006537Hindi po ito nangyari sa pamumunuan po, sa incumbency niyo po sa ating butihing sekretary.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006538Ito po ay naman na sa mga nakaraang administrasyon.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006539Ah, gusto ko pong i-highlight yung sinasabi po ng ating good sponsor regarding yung ownership na requirement.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006540Kasi identifying the authorized operator leads us to an even more fundamental issue.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006541Who actually owns and controls the mining operations in Humonhon.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006542Madam Speaker,
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006543the Constitution requires at least 60% Philippine ownership for corporations entering into production sharing agreement involving our natural resources.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006544We have received information that foreign interest, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006545Foreign interest may be involved in the ownership, management, or actual operations of certain mining activities in the island of Humonhon.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006546Let me emphasize that we are not presenting this an established fact.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006547We are asking the DENR to verify this.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006548And if I confirm what I am saying, like the stand of our good sponsor, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006549and here comes the DENR's responsibility to answer the violations of mining operators in the island of Humonhon.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006550Madam Speaker,
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006551Can the DENR therefore commit to undertake the necessary verification in coordination with the appropriate agencies to determine kung mga foreign national po ba ito ang nag-ooperate o talagang mga Pilipino 100% ang nag-ooperate.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006552Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006553Ang DENR family, we will request them to write to PAOCC, we'll write to NBI, and also Bureau of Immigration.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006554Para in one sweep, malalaman natin, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, kung meron bang mga foreign interest dito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006555Maska reading as Pilipino, ahil napakahirap, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006556Ang natural resources exclusively reserved.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006557For Pilipino citizens, only pa. Exclusive, may only pa.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006558I agree, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006559Kasi alam naman po natin na siyempre dapat makikinabang dito ay Pilipino, hindi mga foreign national.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006560My last manifestation, not even a question.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006561Actually, marami naman akong katunungan, pero there's a proper forum.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006562Anyway, I have a pending resolution para po sa pag-imbestiga ng issue na ito.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006563Pero ang appeal ko lang po, Madam Speaker, to a good sponsor, ang appeal ko lang po sa DENR.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006564Sana hindi na po humantong sa investigasyon na sinasabi ko.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006565Kayo naman po yung nag-iimbestiga.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006566Ang sabi nyo po kanina, kayo misunod.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006567Ang DENR na mismo ay pumunta na sa isla ng Humonhon.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006568Nakita nyo, sigurado ako, nakita nyo ang mga pangyayaring doon.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006569Mga pangyayari na hindi maganda doon.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006570So para sa akin po, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006571hindi na paabutin na mabuksan ang imbestigasyon
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006572at yung DENR na mismo sa lalong madaling panahon ay maaksyonan ang nararapat po sa isla ng Humonhon.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006573So, with this, Madam Speaker, to the good sponsor, maraming salamat po sa suporta.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006574I am doing this, hindi po para sa sarili ko.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006575I am doing this para po sa probinsya ng Eastern Samar at sa mga tao na nasasakupan ko po.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006576Salamat po sa pag-intindi nyo.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006577At para sa akin, I will fully support.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006578With this representation, I will fully support.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006579The budget of the DENR.
Rep. Christopher Sheen P. Gonzales
asr-006580Maraming salamat po at mabuhay po.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006581Maraming salamat din, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006582And yung mga minanipest mo, I am sure.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006583I am one with you and I'll also look after that these promises will be soon implemented.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006584Thank you.
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006584-split-2Thank you, [unclear] colleague.
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-006585Majority Leader.
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006586Madam Speaker, next to interpolate the sponsor,
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006587I move to recognize Representative Sarah Jane I. Elago from Partylist, Gabriela Women's Party.
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006588So move, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-006589Representative Sarah Jane Elago of Gabriela Women's Party.
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-006590This is hereby recognized for her interpolation.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006591Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006592Una sa lahat, maraming salamat sa mga naisumite na ulat sa representasyon na ito mula sa Gabriela Women's Party.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006593Tungkol sa mga pangunahing issue na naihapag natin sa harap ng budget briefing ng DENR.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006594Nais ko na lang po nasundan ang ilan sa mga hinihingi pa na clarification,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006595pagpapaliwanag, lalong-lalo na tungkol po sa kapalara ng mga puno sa Marikina City.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006596Nakaugnay ng ADB Metro Manila Bridges Project.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006597Madam Speaker, noong September 14,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006598mula sa naipaulat na,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-00659923 o 20 puno na puputulin para sa proyekto na iulat ng DPWH sa konsultasyon na labing dalawa rito ang isasalba
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006600at 8 na i-earthball kahit mga mature ang mga trees na ito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006601Meron na po bang application para sa earthballing permit ang 8 puno na ito?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006602At napag-aralan po ba ng DENR?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006603Yung tungkol dito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006604Dito sa ulat na ito, tungkol sa kapalara ng mga puno.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006605Kapalara.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006606Saan ito?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006607Sa Marikina.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006608Sa Marikina.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006609Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, wala pa po ang application, consultation pa lang.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006610And I will join you to object pag in-earthball yung napakalaking puno.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006611Dahil ang earthballing ay pwede lang po yun sa medyo...
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006612breast height, diameter, 45 cm, and below.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006613Pwede mo earthball yun, Madam Speaker, the Stringis Kulig.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006614Pero yung akasya na sing tanda ko, e hindi na ma-earthball yun, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006615Yung 82 years old to 100 years old na akasya, hindi pwede yung earthball, mamamatay.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006616Mamamatay yun ng mamamatay na.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006617Kung maari, palitan na lang yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006618Kung isang akasya ang putulin na centennial na ang edad, e palitan na lang ng dalawang daang akasya kung saan nila maitanim.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006619Yan ang magandang...
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006620Madam Speaker, ang sabi ng ating distinguished sponsor, may consultation pero wala pang application para sa earthballing permit.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006621Maari bang maibahagi ng ating distinguished sponsor kung ano po ang outputs mula sa consultation na ito?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006622Anong output?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006623Output?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006624Anong nangyari sa consultation?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006625Anong nangyari sa consultation?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006629Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, from 22 trees, e merong 12 na maybe i-allow nila kasi dati.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006630Kung karsada ang gagawin.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006631Ah, masi-save pala yung 12 out of the 22.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006632Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006633Yes.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006634Consultation pala. Wala pang application to cut.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006635Madam Speaker, tulad ng nasabi ng ating distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006636Napakahirap po kung i-earthball pa yung mga mature na mga trees.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006637Hindi talaga pwede, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006638Kaya po, sinusuportahan natin ang panawagan ng mga residente ng Marikina na isalba ang mga puno na ito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006639Bagamat lumiit yung bilang na sinasabi na i-earthball, ay nararapat pa rin na huwag nang aprobahan ng DENR itong earthballing permit
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006640kung magkakaroon man ng application para sa walong nasabing puno na ito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006641Ayon sa mga eksperto, Madam Speaker, maaaring umabot ng isang taon ang pag-recovery ng puno matapos mailipat.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006642Ipinapakita rin ng mga pag-aaral na mas mataas ang survival rate ng bata o maliit hanggang katamtaman ng mga puno kapag inililipat.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006643Mas mahirap din ilipat ang mga malalaki at matatandang puno dahil malalim at malawak ang ugat nito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006644Tulad nga ng halimbawa na naibahagi ng ating distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006645Meron na rin tayong mga karanasan noon, Madam Speaker, sa Baguio City, kung saan mahigit 183s ang planong ilipat para bigang daan ang isang mall project.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006646Naaprobahan ito ng DENR, ngunit tuluyan ding naipahinto ng Supreme Court noong parehong taon, bagamat merong ilang puno na naputol bago ang ruling.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006647Sa Cebu naman, nasa 228 trees ang nailipat noong 2023.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006648Para sa Cebu, Boss.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006649Rapid Transit Project, gayon man, naiulat na may mga punong hindi nakaligtas sa parehong pagkakataon.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006650Doon man sa Baguio, ata meron din po sa Cebu na hindi na nakaligtas.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006651Nananawagan tayo, Madam Speaker, na hindi dapat maging kapalit ang mga proyektong pang-infrastruktura, ang pagkasira ng kalikasan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006652Sinusuportahan natin ang mga proyekto na pangkaunlaran, ngunit hindi dapat maisakripisyon.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006653May mga pagtutol din ang mga residente ng Provident Villages hinggil sa ADB Metro Manila Bridges Project.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006654Sa katunayan, nagsasagawa po sila ngayon ng Stations of the Cross bilang pagtutol sa proyektong magdudulot ng pagputol sa ilang matatandang puno sa Marikina.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006655Sa information po ba ng DENR, ito pong consultation ninyo na nabanggit kanina sa Bridge 1 lang.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006656Meron din po bang consultation na ginawa?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006657Nakaugnay?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006658Nakaugnay ng Bridge 2 and 3, nakaugnay ng Metro Manila Bridges Project.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006659Saan yun?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006660Oo. Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, we are with you in preserving all these malalaking puno.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006661But if the national project like widening of roads will redound to the communities,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006662at saka yun namang malaking puno ay matandang-matanda na, remember, no tree in this planet will survive forever.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006663Mamamatay din yung punong yan. Tulad natin tao, mamamatay din.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006664Kaya, yung DENR naman, kung mas tinitingnan nila na mag-benefit doon yung community sa pagwiding ng road,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006665kaysa i-preserve ang isang akasya,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006666eh magtanim na lang tayo ng dalawang daang akasya
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006667somewhere else para naman yung paligiran at kalikasan may balik mo yung oxygen at saka pag-withdraw ng halaman ng carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at magbuga sila ng oxygen.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006668So kung isang puno lang yun at palitan mo ng isang daan,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006669kung ang kapakanan ay yung carbon dioxide,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006670ah,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006671na kinakain
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006672ng halaman at ine-exhale niya oxygen,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006673ay mas marami ang benepisyo sa maraming puno.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006674May Madam Speaker, Distinguished Kuling.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006675Ang sulirin natin dito, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006676hindi lang isang punong ating pinag-uusapan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006677May pag-aaral ang Lichelle Technologies
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006678na naisumite ng DPWH at ng ADB
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006679na tinatayang nasa 1,069
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006680na trees ang kinakailang putulin
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006681para sa Bridges 1, 2, and 3
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006682na kaugnay ng ADB Metro Manila Bridges Project.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006683Sa Bridge 1, may 514.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006684Ang update nga po dito, dahil very vocal din yung mga residente
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006685tungkol sa pagligtas ng mga puno,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006686nasa 20 na lang, 12 maisasalba
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006687at may 8 na lang na i-apply for earthballing.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006688For Bridge 2 naman, nasa 232.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006689Para naman sa Bridge 3,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006690ay 350.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006691Nakita na po ba ng DENR ang pag-aaral na ito?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006692Yung Phase 1 daw at saka Phase 2 at saka Phase 3,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006693hindi kasama yung Phase 3.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006694Sabi niya sa'yo, ano yung, sorry, club speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006695Ibig sabihin lahat, no?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006696Lahat, meron na.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006697Hindi. Phase 1 at saka Phase 2.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006698Puro pa yung consultation.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006699Saka wala pa rin application eh.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006700Okay, walang application para sa lahat.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006701Pero, itong mga sinasabi na maapektuhang puno,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006702lahat po ito ay parte ng tree inventory ng DENR.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006703Nasa inventory stage pa lang yan sa lahat ng maapektuhang puno,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006704madam speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006705At saka yung importante, yung community consultation,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006706sana nandun ka rin para, madam speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006707para mapagtulungan natin na mabigyan sila ng tamang desisyon
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006708na kung ang community magsabi, ay putulin na yan dahil matanda na yan,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006709palitan na lang natin, ay pumayag na tayo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006710Pero kung ang community mismo mag-resist,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006711ayaw nila, gusto nila makitin lang yung karsadang nila,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006712so be it, madam speaker, distinguished colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006713Diba? Kaysa putulin mo yung 100-year-old, 150-year-old na akasya.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006714So, malinaw, madam speaker,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006715wala pang kahit anong application.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006716Para sa three cutting permits sa Bridge 2 and 3,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006717at wala pang kahit anong application sa ngayon na aaprubahan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006718Okay.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006719Kung gayon, madam speaker, meron na bang environmental impact assessment
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006720ang buong ADB Metro Manila Bridges?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006721Paari ba kaming makahingi ng kopya ngayon?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006722Ang magawa nila, per merong yan, madam speaker, distinguished colleague,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006723ay yung AIS.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006724Magawa lang yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006725Pag may application na.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006726But, before the application,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006727pag meron nang nagre-reklamo,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006728pwede na nila i-eyeball yun, puntahan nila yun,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006729i-ocular nila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006730Para lang makita nila kung ano yung gagawin nila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006731In the future. So, yung AIS naman, pag meron ng application, bago sila hihingi ng environmental impact study.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006732Pero Madam Speaker, kung sa ECC naman, no lahat ito meron ng ECC, ang Bridges 1, 2, and 3.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006733At maghihingi po ng kopya ang representasyon na ito mula sa Gabriela Women's Park.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006734May ECC ba yung pagbutol ng puno?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006735O, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, hindi ko pa alam na meron palang ECC yung pagbutol ng puno.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006736Kasi yung environmental impact study, it will suffice.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006737Because the AIS will tell you whether an ECC is applicable or not.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006738So, ganun yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006739Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006740Ngayon, Madam Speaker, kasi ho, kasabi din sa atin ng DPWH nung hinarap natin ang issue na ito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006741Kasi sila yung mag-a-apply.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006742DPWH, Madam Speaker?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006743Yes. O, sila kasi yung mag-a-apply.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006744So, sinabi naman nila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006745Ang proponent, DPWH, Madam Speaker?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006746At sinabi nila sa atin na baka yung Bridges 2 ay magkaroon ng pagbabago sa kanilang design.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006747O kung saan dadaan ang mga lugar.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006748Kasi meron din mga pagtutol yung mga villages.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006749Ang sabi nila, nag-uusap na daw ang DPWH at ang DepDev na magkakaroon ng restructuring sa buong proyekto.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006750Ang DNR po ba nabalitaan tungkol dito o wala pa sa ngayon?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006751Wala. Wala pa, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006752Okay, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006753Ang ngayon naman po sa ibang issue na may kinalaman.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006754Sa LLDA.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006755Ang aming opisina ay nakatanggap ng liham mula sa nagkakaisang mamamayan ng Tadlac 1A.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006756Ito po ay naka-address sa Department of Environment and Natural Resources, sa DNR, at sa Laguna Lake Development Authority, sa LLDA.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006757Ang sabi po dito, sila daw po ay humihingi sa inyo ng sertifikasyon, ng klasifikasyon,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006758ng lupa para sa kanilang lupa na tinitirhan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006759Dahil sa ngayon po sa kanila, ito daw po ay itinuturing na domain land at bahagi ng hindi maipagbibiling pampublikong lupa, inalienable public land.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006760Ngunit sa ngayon po, meron daw pong nagkiklaim na private owner dun sa kanilang lupa.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006761Natanggap na po ba ito ng LLDA at ng DNR?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006762Naipadala daw po ito ngayong May 2026.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006763Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, tungkol doon sa mga nare-reclaim sa Laguna Lake, alam mo naman, na-diyaryo 'yan lately. May mga concerned high individuals na sangkot diyan. Mahirap na magkomento, ngunit ang DENR mismo nagsasabi ay wala pa silang na-issue na reclamation permit. Wala, walang mga na-issue. Ilegal po 'yun, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006763-split-2Ang isyo na ito, Madam Speaker, ay meron ng mga pinapalayas na mga magsasaka at naninirahan dun sa lugar.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006764Ang kwento po nila, noong 1980s, sumubok daw po sila, in early 2000s, na magkaroon ng titulo yung mga lupa na yun.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006765Ngunit ang paliwanag nga sa kanila ay hindi yun pwede matitulohan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006766Kaya po, nabigla po sila ngayon na merong private claimant.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006767Na hindi po nila kakilala at niminsan ay hindi nila nakita dun sa lugar na nagsasabi na sa kanila daw po yung lupa.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006768Ngayon, Madam Speaker, ang punto ng liham na ito na is po nilang mag-ocular visit.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006769Mag-karoon ng inspeksyon dun sa lugar, ang DNR, ang LLDA, para makita talaga nila yung sitwasyon ng pagpapalayas sa mga magsasaka.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006770At matiyak natin na mapapangalagaan, hindi lang yung kabuhayan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006771Itong mga magsasaka, kundi matiyak din yung kanilang karapatan sa panirahan sa lupa na kanilang sinasaka o malapit sa kanilang sinasaka.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006772Madam Speaker, lalo na kung mga illegal yun na pagtambak doon at saka in-occupy ng ating mga kapatid na maralita, magsasaka ito o mangingisda?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006773Mga magsasaka at meron din pong ilan na nagfifish pond.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006774Magsasaka sa pil?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006775Yes.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006776Sa lupa at saka yung mangingisda sa lawa?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006777Yes.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006778Tapos sila daw ay matagal nang nakatira.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006779Karamihan yan, yung mga illegal tambak dyan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006780Wala silang, ang DNR wala pa pong pangkalahatang solusyon dyan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006781Dahil hindi man yan na legal na reclamation.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006782Kung reclamation na yan na pinadaan sa PRA, na binigyan ng PRA ng permit para, tandaan mo Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006783kung ang reclamation sa lawa o sa dagat ay land for the landless, that is permitted.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006784Kaya yung mga maku-occupy doon na kasunod sa pagtambak ng may pahintulot ang PRA ay hindi po yun illegal.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006785Madam Speaker, extinguish kulig.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006786Ngayon Madam Speaker, wala po itong kahit anong permit mula sa PRA.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006787Meron pong pribado na pumapasok na gustong magtayo ng resort doon sa lugar at sila ay pinapanayos.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006788Madam Speaker, ang kalawakan ng tinutukoy mo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006789Ngunit dyan sa lawa, wala talagang binibigyan ng permit dyan para mag-reclaim.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006790Except yung mga karsada na gagawin dyan na pinag-aaralan pa hanggang ngayon Madam Speaker, extinguish kulig.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006791Yan nga ang dahilan Madam Speaker kung bakit hiniingin ang representasyon na ito na bisitahin natin yung lugar dito na binabanggit sa Purok 1A, Barangay Tadlac, Los Baños, Laguna.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006792Madam Speaker, kailangan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006793At para makita po ninyo mismo yung sitwasyon at makita natin, marinig natin.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006794Wala doon sa ating mga kababayan mismo.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006795Ano ba yung issue? Anong kinakailang aksyon? At paano tayo magtutulungan para matugunan ang kanilang issue?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006796Madam Speaker, extinguish kulig.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006797I suggest that yung letter mo na yan, iproward mo sa concerned department sa DNR para matugunan ka agad yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006798Yes.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006799Para alam mo naman ang DNR kung sino yung walang lupa ay binibigyan, hindi yung maraming lupa ang binibigyan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006800Sinisiguro ko yan Madam Speaker dahil...
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006801Siyempre, the government is there for the side of the landless.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006802Madam Speaker, just for the record po, when this was sent to the DNR and the LLDA, this representation was furnished with a copy.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006803And with due diligence, we forwarded the letter to the concerned agencies.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006805And then, dahil po ngayon, pinapaabot na po natin ulit at sana maaksyonan ito agad ng LLDA.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006806Maraming salamat Madam Speaker. Maraming salamat.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006807Madam Speaker, extinguish kulig. Please give me a copy of that letter.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006808And I assure you, Madam Speaker, gagawa ng aksyon yung mga taga-DNR.
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-006809Majority Leader.
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006810Madam Speaker, next to interpolate the sponsor, I move to recognize Representative Rene Louie M. Co. from Kabataan Partylist.
Rep. Mark Anthony G. Santos
asr-006811So move, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-006812Representative Rene Louie M. Co. from Kabataan Partylist is hereby recognized for her interpolation.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006813Thank you.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006814Thank you, Madam Speaker. And good afternoon to our distinguished sponsor and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006815May the gentleman yield to a couple of questions in relation to the spending of the DNR as planned by fiscal year 2027.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006816Gladly, Madam Speaker. Extinguish kulig. Go ahead, please.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006817Madam Speaker, good sponsor. My first question would be in relation to Paxilica.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006818This representation is heartened to receive.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006819The at least preliminary briefer from the DNR in relation to its findings of Paxilica with the available information.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006820We'd like to supplement a little further given that we've been asking various agencies what they know of this project.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006821And of course, what we would like to ensure and to clarify dahil nakadulot po ito talaga ng maraming mga tanong, concerns.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006822Sa mga mamayan tungkol sa iba't-ibang issues.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006823Pero ang pinaka-na-perview naman po ng DNR dito ay yung usaping kalikasan, usaping tubig, usaping lupa.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006824In the last Committee on Appropriations for DTI meeting, Undersecretary Ridolfo stated that investors are expected to provide their own power and water for the proposed Paxilica development in New Clark City.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006826But contrary to this, the government, through a Malacañang press conference, has publicly assured
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006827that the said development will have sufficient water without compromising the supply of surrounding communities. The National Water Resources Board reportedly stated that available sources within the project area can meet the proposed facilities' requirements and that community water needs will remain the priority. BCDA has separately stated that the proposed surface water harvesting system could initially supply up to 120 million liters per day, compared
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006828With an estimated Paxilica requirement of approximately 65 to 90 million liters per day, with potential expansion of the system to 300 million liters per day.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006829So ang pansin po natin, iba-iba yung nire-report sa atin ng iba't-ibang ahensya tungkol sa tubig.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006830Yung una, sige pahala po yung Paxilica na maghanap ng tubig.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006831Tapos ngayon, meron na pong mga iba't-ibang sources na tinutukoy at may pag-aaral at pag-iimbestiga na po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006832Sa kung paano ba bibigyan yan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006833So may I ask, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, pwede po bang ipaliwanag ng DENR yung contradictions between the two statements
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006834at ikumpirma sa publiko, once and for all, ano po ba ang totoo at established for the sake of public knowledge?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006835Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, my favorite topic, Paxilica.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006836Out of the more than 3,000 hectares na BCDA property,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006837dyan sa Northern Luzon, 960 lang yung original na envision for Paxilica.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006838Yung Paxilica, for the information of everyone, this is just an advanced planning kasi kung mawawala yung Taiwan which has four chips maker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006839Ang isa, TSMC, NVIDA, hindi ko lang matandaan yung dalawa.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006840Kung ma-overrun ng China ang Taiwan, ay at least may replacement sila na magpakukunan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006841Lahat ng ating kabuhayan ngayon ay dependent na po sa chips.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006842Yung telepono na ginagamit ng ating distinguished colleague, yung telepono ko,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006843eh kung wala yung mga chips maker na yan, yung mga drones, yung mga AI instruments,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006844halos lahat ng ating future requirements ay magagampanan ng project na yung Paxilica.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006845Now, if you are so concerned about the water resources in the Philippines, napakarami nating tubig.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006846Hindi lang natin iniipon yung tubig natin at saka ginagamit.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006847Kung mapunta ka sa bayan ng Korea, Madam Speaker, lahat ng ridges doon sa bundok mayroong impounding dam sa baba.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006848Kaya maski abot sila ng limang buwan hanggang anum na buwan na ilin ninyo, ay hindi po sila naubusan ng tubig.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006849Doon sa atin, sa Central Luzon, napakaraming underground water.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006850But if I were the government, I will not allow this kind of project to extract water from the underground aquifer, Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006851because the underground aquifer is not an infinite source.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006852Walang tubig na nanggagaling sa ilalim ng lupa. Lahat yan ay recharged ng rainfall.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006853Papunta po, nag-infiltrate sa ilalim ng lupa. Kaya na-stack up sila doon sa underground aquifer.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006854Kung marami naman ang extraction natin, makakaroon niya ng mga land subsidence.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006855Kaya dyan sa Northern Luzon, starting from Pampanga up doon sa mga kabundukan sa Sierra Madre, ay maraming tubig dyan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006856Ngunit, that is reserved for the communities.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006857If itong Paxilica, if I were the government, they will have to bring their own power.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006858They will have to bring their own water.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006859Yung water naman, ayaw kang create water.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006860You can rely on the water on the underground.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006861You can rely on the surface water.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006862Yung sinasabi nilang 100 million liters a day is only 100,000 cubic meters yan, Madam Speaker, distinguished sponsor.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006863Kaya naman, kung 10 million liters, 100 million liters ang kailangan nila isang araw,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006864i-reduce mo yan to cubic meters.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006865Hindi masyadong marami yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006866If you measure, Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006867distinguished colleague,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006868yung outflow ng tubig natin sa Central Luzon,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006869sa Lower Luzon, at saka sa Upper Luzon,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006870papuntang dagat,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006871that is only one second output ng tubig papunta sa dagat.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006872Kaya huwag tayo matakot na walang tubig sa Pilipinas.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006873Napakarami natin tubig dito sa Pilipinas.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006874Sobra-sobra ang tubig dito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006875Ngunit, pinagsasayang lang natin, tinatapo natin sa dagat, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006876Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006877Pinagsasayang lang natin dito ay mismong mga anecdotes ng mga pinuntahan nating mga komunidad
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006878na malapit sa ini-estimate na tatayo ang Paxilica site.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006879Kulang daw yung tubig nila.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006880Hindi po sila makapagsurvive in a day nang hindi nawawala yung tubig.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006881So, assuming if true yung sinabi po ng ating distinguished sponsor na marami,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006882ngunit hindi rin po maayos yung sistema ng pagkalap nito at even yung distribution,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006883no, sana ito ay mag-reflect doon sa magiging assessment ng DENR,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006884kung paano i-recommend, kung paano kunin ng Paxilica yung tubig nila.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006885Ngunit ang next natanong ko po, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006887Considering that the Water Resources Vulnerability and Sustainability Assessment Program ng DNR is being reduced by 26.73% ng budget sa fiscal year 2027 ng NEP,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006888how will WRB finance the additional hydrological and climate risk assessments required by a development of this magnitude?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006889Ang na-mention nga po ng ating good sponsor is that this is some 900 hectares or 3,000 hectares in vision.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006890Pag susukatin po ng DNR kung paano po gagawa ng paraan na may tubig po ang mga locators at kung ano pong i-establish dito,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006891kaya po ba ito ng budget ng NWRB?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006892Yung budget ng DNR ngayon, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, maliit nga para dyan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006893Eh, kung ako yung gabi,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006894kung ako yung gobyerno, siyempre, eh paghahandaan natin ito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006895Kung sinabi ko maraming tubig ang buong Pilipinas, totoo po yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006896Sa district ko lang, I have 27 rivers eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006897So, dito sa Northern Luzon, I don't know the count of how many rivers is from the Caldera area going to the east,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006898from the Caldera area sa Isabela going to the west side.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006899At dito naman sa Central Plain natin, yung mga tubig na iimbak sa mga dam,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006900napagsuburan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006901Sa dam na i-release, that becomes flood doon sa Pampanga.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006902Eh lahat, Madam Speaker, that's why I earnestly urge our distinguished colleague
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006903to recommend the increased budget of the DNR para naman lahat yan matugunan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006904Wala pa namang application yung silika.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006905Pinag-uusapan pa lang yung investment forum na nangyari dyan sa BGC.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006906Eh, pinag-uusapan pa lang yung mga requirements sa Paksilika.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006907At saka ilang kumpanya.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006908Yung mga kababayan natin,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006909nag-demonstrate doon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006910Nandun si Teddy Casino, nakita ko.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006911Dyan sa BGC.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006912Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006913Very premature yung Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006914Kasi hindi pa, naku-quantify, ikaw ilan talaga.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006915Haka-haka lang yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006916Ang kuryente gamitin, ganito karami.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006917Ang tubig, ganito karami.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006918Kulang ang tubig para sa mamamayan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006919Eh lahat yan, Madam Speaker, masolusyonan man yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006920Wala mang problema yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006921Basta, there is political will.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006922It can be done, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006923distinguished colleague.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006925Madam Speaker, Distinguished Kulig.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006926Ang sinasabi po ba ay kung kailangan po ng DNR na tignan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006927kung paano yung hydrological climate risk assessments,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006928kulang yung budget niya sa ngayon?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006929As proposed?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006930Madam Speaker, kung patuloy tayo doon sa diskusyon ng Paksilika,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006931abutin tayo ng umaga rito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006932Suggestion ko na lang, Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006933ilipat natin yung Paksilika sa Palawan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006934Ako ng bahala sa tubig.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006935Ako ng bahala.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006936Ilipat natin yung bahala sa kuryente nila.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006937Well, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006938We're actually requesting more information on the DNR's budget and their capacity.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006939That's why we have to predicate our questions doon sa mga mangyayaring
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006940meron ng konklusyon na ganito kalaki ang factory na ilalagay,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006941ang konsumo ng ilang factory, ganito karaming tubig, ganito karaming kuryente.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006942We will require them to put up their own power.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006943Just like what I did in Palawan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006944Ang 250 milyong daran na leaching plant, yung sumitomo para ma-process yung mga low-grade nickel ores.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006945Sabi ko, magdalagay ng kuryente.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006946Wala kaming kuryente.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006947Naglagay sila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-00694843 megawatt o coal plant.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006949Wala naman nakreklamo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006950Maraming nakatrabaho.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006951Happy lahat.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006952Hindi naupas ang tubig namin.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006953Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, ganun dapat.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006954Pero, so Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, I'd like to take your answer dahil nga po tinatanong natin,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006955may inaasahan tayo at nabigay.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006956Kaya, maliit ang budget, hindi enough at kailangan ng mas marami kung kailangan pong gawin yung impact assessment na ito
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006957in terms of yung water na iko-konsumo, if ever, ng sapak silika.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006958But nonetheless, Madam Speaker, ang next naman nating tanong,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006959dahil may na-mention na nga po, inaasahang El Nino,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006960will that also be part of the agency's assessment?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006961Kung titignan nga po yung mga konsumo na,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006962na gagamitin ng buong inisiyative na ito,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006963anong assumptions po ba ang gagamitin concerning dry season river flows,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006964drought and El Nino conditions,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006965groundwater recharge,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006966agricultural demand,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006967future population growth,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006968will these be part of DNR's assessment?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006969Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, yung executive,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006970we'll cross the bridge when we get there.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006971Wala pa ngayon yan eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006972Lahat yan ang nakaplano pa lang.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006973In fact,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006974wala pang masyadong yung BCDA,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006975that's why it was pinpointed because of the ease of securing the land.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006976Meron naman nagsasabi na yung mga katutubo doon, merong claim.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006977Eh madari, naman yung pacified eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006978Tabi mo lang sila, bigyan mo sila ng kabuhayan doon sa,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006979huwag silang mag-claim dyan sa envision as 960 hectares na yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006980That's more than 3,000 hectares yung BCDA dyan sa Northern Luzon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006981So wala pang in-endorse,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006982wala pang binigay ang executive dito sa DNR
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006983kung ano yung mga parameters na pag-aralan nila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006984Hindi pwede na mabasa mo lang sa dyaryo yung DNR, magre-react ka agad.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006985Wala man sila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006986Kanino nila, Madam Speaker, i-request yung AIA,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006987yung Environmental Impact Study?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006988Wala eh. Wala pa nag-a-apply eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006989Meron nga nagsasabi na sa dyaryo na yan,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006990kaya nga nung isang araw na nakita ko,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006991may mga kababayan natin nag-demonstrate doon sa
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006992kung saan na
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006993ginawa yung Investment Forum,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006994eh that is too early.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-006995That is too eager to, too soon to say na masama yung Paxilica.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006996Pero Madam Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006997naghahanda na po ba ang DNR dito?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006998I assume kahit po preliminary preparations para po mangyari ito,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-006999dapat po ina-undertake na, may earmarking na pong nangyayari
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007000para po kung ano man po yung output ay handa ang DNR.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007001Pangunguna lang.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007002At dahil dyan sa Pampanga River at saka yung Bulacan River, palaging may baha.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007003Yung DNR, meron na silang assessment doon sa Pampanga River. Una pa lang yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007004Pag yung Pampanga River at saka yung Bulacan River, nakapture nila yan at sinannel nila papuntang Paxilica,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007005sobra-sobra na yung tubig doon, Madam Speaker, Stingvisco League.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007006Malulunod yung mga foreign investor dyan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007007Eh nagre-reklamo na nga si Congresswoman Bundog sa akin na palaging may baha doon eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007008Eh kung matsannel lang natin yung baha na yung papunta sa Paxilica,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007009ang tubig,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007010maski gaano kadumi,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007011napakadali ilinisin.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007012Madam Speaker, good sponsor, hihingi na lang po ang representasyon na ito
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007013ng kopya ng existing hydrological assessments,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007014lalo na po may El Nino din naman din pong parating,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007015inaasahan natin maapektahan din po ang Region 3 at mga karating na region, lalo na po ang Tarlac.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007016Lalo na po at gagamitin din po ito sa Paxilica kung ito ay itatayo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007017Pag natapos, Madam Speaker, ang assessment nila pampanga river at saka yung Bulacan River,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007018I'll get a copy for you, ah, these two English colleagues. Walang problema.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007019Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007020At your service.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007021Good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007022Ang susunod po nating tanong ay pang-call naman po sa Critical Minerals Agreement na ang tingin nga po natin ay may connection eh.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007023Pero nonetheless, ang gusto ko pong itanong, ito po ay isang February 2026 agreement na pinasukan ng Pilipinas at ng Estados Unidos.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007024From the United States State Department fact sheet,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007025meron daw pong 38 memoranda of understanding or minerals frameworks that they've agreed with other countries.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007026This is 38. Isa lang yung Pilipinas sa maraming sumama na may ganitong mga endeavors.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007027At sa pagkakalap at pag-analisa ng mamamayan ng publicly available pronouncements and documents, nakikita na 27 such deals exist.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007028To date, this is 15 MOUs and 12 framework agreements.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007029Less than half of the MOUs announced have been made fully public, only two of which were released by the U.S. government, and the rest are public thanks to partner countries.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007030At gusto ko lang pong magbigay ng konteksto na isa rin po ang Myanmar na may single mine na sinuspende ang operations in 2023.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007031At nung nangyari po iyon,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007032at meron din naman po na mga ibat-ibang endeavors by which yung pagmimina kapag ito'y nakakompromise by U.S. sanctions, the world supply suffers.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007033Ang tanong po natin, nakakuha na po tayo ng kopya ng Memorandum of Understanding
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007034ng Critical Minerals na...
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007035on Critical Minerals.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007036ng U.S. at Pilipinas.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007037At DENR po ang signatory dito.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007038Tinanong po natin yung DFA kung may kopya sila, may wisdom po ba sa pag-enter nito.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007039Ang sinasabi po nila, huli DENR yung naglatag ng pangailangan nito at nag-agree nito.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007040And can I get a preliminary confirmation?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007041Meron daw pong national importance document na tinransmit ang DENR.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007042Sa DFA, na kaya po ay na mabilis na napirmahan ang Critical Minerals MOU.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007043Is this correct, Madam Speaker? Good sponsor?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007044Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, synopsis pa lang yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007045Bigyan kita ng kopya nito para at least kung may akahaka, may mga katanungan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007046Wala pa yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007047Eh yung EO tungkol sa Critical Minerals.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007048If you ask me,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007049saan ka ba, Madam Speaker?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007050Yung mineral na natutulog doon sa ilalim ng bundok o sa ilalim ng lupa,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007051eh dapat pakinabangan na yan sa henerasyon na ito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007052Kung hindi man maubos yan, then we will reserve it for the next generation.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007053Eh aanhin mo yung mineral na yun kung hindi ma-extract ng tama.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007054Provided, during the extraction process,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007055the environmental requirements are fully complied with.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007056Hindi.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007057Hindi natin sinisira yung kapaligiran kasi hindi naman nangangahulugan na pag hinukay mo yung lupa,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007058isinira mo na kaagad yung kapaligiran.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007059Eh pag hinukay mo, kinuha mo yung mineral, tinabakan mo ulit, tinanamay mo ng puno,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007060sino pa makakita, di wala na.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007061Hindi ba?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007062So, but the DNR must be the policeman of the whole country in extraction of the minerals.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007063Ang ibig-ibig, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, na yung DNR natin ay inutil.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007064I don't know.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007065I don't subscribe to that.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007066Hindi naman sila inutil.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007067Kulang lang sila sa budget.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007068Kaya nga, I request, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, that you move to increase the budget of the DNR
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007069para mas mapangalagaan ang ating kabundukan, kagubatan, at saka sa ilalim ng lupa ito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007070I'll give you a copy of this so that hindi nakakahaka.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007071I would like to request din as well and we'll wait for that document.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007072Pero, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, ang tanong ko po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007073Tama po ba that the DNR transmitted to the DFA national significance or national importance document or certification
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007074na yun po ang naging key na mas mabilis na napirmahan at na-finalize in Critical Minerals Memorandum of Understanding.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007075Is this correct?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007076On the claim that the MOU was kept secret.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007077Title of the MOU.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007078MOU, remember, is not an MOA.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007079Yes, po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007080I'd actually ask, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007081Between the government of the Republic of the Philippines and the government of the United States of America
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007082concerning cooperation to diversify globally critical mineral supply chains and promote investment.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007083Yun lang po, yun eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007084MOU lang, hindi MOA.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007085Memorandum of Understanding has no financial impact.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007086May I get a confirmation on the question, Madam Speaker, good sponsor?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007087Did the DNR issue a national significance certification that allowed the passage of the Critical Minerals MOU?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007088Oh, na-clear pa sila sa DFA.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007089Yes.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007090MOU lang ito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007091Ah, Madam Speaker, my distinguished colleague, Mr. Erice, is number one miner in the country.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007092Eh, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007093Pabor siya dito sa EO ng Critical Minerals.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007094Eh, ang dami nating mga kababayan, makinabangan nito eh.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007095Madam Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007096Natanong na rin naman po, na-bring up na iba ang MOU sa MOA.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007097Pwede po ba nating matanong, ang DNR po ba ay tumulong sa pag-draft ng MOU?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007098Or ito po ba ay boilerplate?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007099Pare-pareho na pinapirmahan sa iba.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007100At ibang mga bansa nakasama sa Critical Minerals Summit.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007101Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, all of these are initiated by the Department of Trade.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007102Sila yung interesado eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007103Yung naman government natin, siyempre makinig yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007104Anong department?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007105O, sino yung Critical Minerals?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007106Siyempre, DNR, di ba?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007107Mines Bureau.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007108So, wala pa pong overall scope itong EO tungkol sa Critical Minerals.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007109And, Madam Spencer, Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007110distinguished colleague, I, for one, would endorse the utilization of all Critical Minerals in country.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007111Bakit?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007112Eh, let's use it for this AIDS.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007113Hindi na-AIDS ko, ngunit, AIDS, Madam Speaker, ng ating distinguished colleague, bata pa yan, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007114Kailangan nila ito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007115In the next generation, sila makinabang dito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007116Hindi na yung generation namin, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007117Madam Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007118We asked a question tungkol sa boilerplate po ba ito?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007119May DNR participation po ba sa pag-draft nito?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007120Signature po ng former Secretary Lotelia ang naroon
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007121Gusto po natin itanong dahil sa assessment natin
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007122ng Critical Minerals MOU
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007123mas malaki ang ganansya ng US kaysa po sa Pilipinas
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007124The distinguished sponsor is citing that ito po ay gaganansya ng kabataan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007125and sa dulo nito kailangan pong gamitin ang minerales kaysa po patulugin
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007126Pero kung ang paraan po ng pag-extract nito ay makakawasa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007127at hindi lang yun, pupunta rin po para sa benepisyo ng ibang bansa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007128Hindi po natin makikita bilang ito'y ganansya ng kabataan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007129Kaya po, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, ang tinatanong natin
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007130Ano pong substantive na pagdagdag ng DENR sa pag-draft ng MOU na ito?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007131Or boilerplate po ba ito? Pare-pareho po ba?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007132Ng mga nakikita nating MOUs na pinirmahan ng US kasama ng mga ibang bansa
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007133Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007134When the issue was raised with the DTI and the Executive Department
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007135Nandyan yung mga foreign investor natin
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007136Ang sabi ng DTI
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007137We will ask our DENR, hanggang lalo ang NGB
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007138And the NGB and the DENR, instead of signing a memorandum of agreement
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007139transform it only to
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007140an MOU, Memorandum of
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007141Understanding. And I'm, Madam
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007142Speaker, distinguished colleague, I'll give you a copy

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007145unang plano ay MOA at

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007147between DTI and US
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007148and then naging between D and R?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007149Proposal lang nila yun, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007157Diba? Ang DNR
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007158naman, may mga na-pinpoint na yan kung ano yung

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007244pangamba, hindi lang po ng representasyon
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007245na ito, pero yung iba't iba pong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007246colleagues natin here, narinig ko sa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007247DNR budget briefing
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007248paulit-ulit, sana wala na pong pagmimina
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007249dito sa aming mga areas,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007250lalo na po they're scarred
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007251by the different instances
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007252of large-scale destructive mining
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007253sa kanila. So kung meron po tayong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007254nakititang clear cases
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007255na hindi po naging tama yung pagmimina
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007256yung proseso na they underwent
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007257and undertook, dapat po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007258actionan sa pinakakagat ng mines.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007259Ang Geosciences Bureau.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007260Iintayin po natin yung update na yun, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007261good sponsor. Ang susunod naman
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007262nating tanong ay tungkol po sa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007263electronic waste po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007264Dahil nakita natin
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007265sa position paper ninyo, ang e-waste
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007266shipments in the Philippines at ang kanilang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007267stands. At we agree that the amendments
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007268on the Basel Convention should be operationalized
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007269once and for all.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007270Pero pending its operationalization
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007271in the Philippines, ano po ba ang ginagawa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007272ng DNR to prevent trans-boundary
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007273shipments of illegal waste?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007274Dito sa ating bansa.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007275Kung trans-shipment lang yan, Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007276ipapayagan yan kung trans-shipment lang yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007277Basta huwag ibaba dito. Kung
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007278ay hasarados yan. Pero kung
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007279ang e-waste mo ay gagamitin
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007280doon sa
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007281laboratory or yung kanilang
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007282meron silang planta na license
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007283waste to energy,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007284ipapayagan yan. Pero ngayon, wala pa man tayo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007285So, bawal pa yan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007286Meron po bang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007287coordination body ang DNR
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007288together with the Bureau of Customs
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007289para po mapigilan ito,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007290ma-prevent po ito?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007291Ang trans-shipment, Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007292di mo mapigilan yung trans-shipment. Kasi trans-shipment lang eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007293Pagdating dito, kakarga din.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007294Mapapunta sa labas. Pero yung bound
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007295here na e-waste,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007296hindi naman pinapayagan ng e-waste.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007297Okay.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007298Madam Speaker, yung mga recyclable,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007299pinapayagan yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007300Yung mga nare-recycle.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007301Pero yung trans-shipment lang, hindi mo rin
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007302mapigil kasi shipping company yan eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007303Trans-shipment lang dito sa Subic or trans-shipment
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007304dyan sa
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007305North Harbor or dyan sa
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007306kay Ricky Razon
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007307na ITCSI.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007308Eh, hindi natin mapigil
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007309yan because dyan lang yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007310Hindi mapapasok. Technically, hindi pa
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007311pumapasok yan sa bansa. Basta
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007312they don't cross the customs line.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007313Madam Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007314May datos po ba ang DNR on the
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007315recycling companies with reported
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007316involvement on illegal e-waste shipments?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007317Sabi nga po ng ating
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007318distinguished sponsor, meron po dyan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007319Hindi pwede. Pero ang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007320realidad ay meron po na na-report
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007321po sila. May datos po ba ang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007322DNR dito? Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007323wala po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007324Madam Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007325We'll ask this of the relevant
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007326agency as well. But I'd like to
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007327impress that bahagi naman po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007328ng mandato ng DNR ay ang pag-recycling.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007329Alaga ng kalikasan natin.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007330Kung ang continuous trend nito,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007331so far there's been 250
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007332plus shipments of these e-wastes na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007333ang basa nga po, no,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007334ay illegal under our laws and under the Basel
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007335Convention, maaari pong maging
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007336basurahan ang Pilipinas
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007337ng mga mas mayayaman na bansa.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007338At yun po ang trend din po sa iba't
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007339ibang Southeast Asian countries.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007340Sana po may ginagawa ang DNR para
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007341po mapigilan ito. Ang huli
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007342na lang pong tanong, dahil po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007343nagkaroon,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007344noong July 26,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007352Luzon, ahead of the State of the Nation
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007353address, na ginawa.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007354Ngunit, dahil po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007355habang nangyayari
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007356yung mobilisasyon, may
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007357aerosolized fog na nanggaling
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007358sa loob ng DNR perimeter.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007359Papunta po doon
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007360sa gathering na nasa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-007370nagbigay naman na po ang DNR
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007373Madam Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007374are we honestly
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007375expected to believe that the primary
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007376environmental agency of this country,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007377an agency packed with experts, administrators,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007378and security details,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007379did not notice a massive caravan of
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007380farmers and fisherfolk gathering
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007381right outside its gates
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007382bago po nag-release ng fog
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007383as per kung anumang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007688istruktura.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007689Simple lang pong tanong ko.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007690Kung alam na ng DNR
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007691dahil sa MGB
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007692na unstable at hazard classified
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007693ang lupa dito,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007694I'm still referring to the Liuliwa shoreline,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007695bago kayo mag-issue
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007696o mag-renew
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007697ng dredging permit
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007698sa Santo Tomas at Maloma Rivers,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007699ginawa nyo bang assessment
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007700kung ang dredging mismo
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007701ay magpapabili sa pagbuho
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007702ng lugar na alam nyo

asr-007713Pagpayag ng dredging
Rep. Leila M. de Lima

Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007743sinasabi kong mga
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007744Chinese
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007745name na mga
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007746vessels.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007747Gusto ko pong ituro
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007748ang tatlo sa listahang ito.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007749Ang mga pangalan nila,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007750Kangling 539,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007751Mao Hua 8,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007752at
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007753Anda Kang 3689.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007754Ang tanong ko po,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007755alam mo ba ng department
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007756na tungkol naman po sa
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007757Kangling 539
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007758ay ang parehong
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007759barko na na-report ng
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007760Maritime Transparency Group
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007761Sea Light na gumamit
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007762ng at least 30 fake identities
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007763sa anim na flag states
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007764habang nag-shuffle
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007765sa pagitan ng Manila Bay
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007766at Santo Tomas River?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007767Hindi na alam.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007768Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007769Distinguished Colleague,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007770ang vessel pag nirintahan
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007771ay hindi din in our parlance po.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007772So, malamang hindi nila alam.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007773Pero, pag binigyan ng permit yung
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007774vessel na yan to operate in our
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007775inland waters, marina po yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007776Madam Speaker.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007777Doon naman po sa isa pang
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007778Chinese name vessel,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007779ang Mao Hua 8.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007780Ay ang parehong barko na
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007781in-intercept ng Philippine Coast Guard
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007782bilang Harvest 89,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007783May 13, and
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007784undocumented Chinese nationals.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007785Did that report reach the DNR?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007786Ma'am, mga barko, Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007787kung ang mga crew ay Chinese,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007788lalo na kung a bare boat charter yan,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007789eh, kasama yung crew sa agreement,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007790eh, lalo na kung Chinese flag
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007791at pinaintulutan ng marina,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007792makakapasok yan sa ating
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007793inland waters.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007794Hindi po bawal.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007795Ay part tayo ng
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007796maritime global family, eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007797So, marina will issue the permit
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007798for that vessel to operate.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007799But if the vessel is operated by
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007800Chinese nationals, at least may mga
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007801Pilipino po doon na ginagamit yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007802Hindi po pwede puro lang sila Chinese.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007803Yan po ang sitwasyon.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007804Meron pa akong isa, yung
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007805Andakang 3689 ay isang
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007806dredger na operated
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007807by the China Harbor Engineering Company
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007808mismo.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007809O, yun yung binigyan ng permit, di ba?
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007811Na na-flag pa ng maritime analysis
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007812for AIS blackouts
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007813malapit sa mga US-Philippines
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007814military movements.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007815Alam din ho yan ng DNR.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007816Alam po nila, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007817yung barko, maaaring Chinese
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007818operated, pero yung permit din noon
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007819na nag-charter ng barko ay
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007820Pilipino. Dapat.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007821Alam ko po na sinagot
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007822nyo na po rin ito, pero
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007823gusto ko lang ho talagang
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007824malinawan, can DNR confirm
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007825nag-dredge ba
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007826ang mga barkong ito sa
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007827Zambales Rivers? At kung oo,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007828paano po nangyari yun?
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007829Ka-flag-flag po ang identities
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007830ng mga barkong ito, nagpapalit
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007831ng bandila, nagpapalit ng
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007832pangalan, and yet nakapag-dredge
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007833sila ng buhangin sa botola
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007834ng San Felipe. Sino po ba
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007835talagang nag-verify bago binigyan ng
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007836permit? O walang verification na
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007837talagang ginawa?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007838Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007839as I said a while ago,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007840the equipment
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007841might be Chinese,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007842but if duly registered with Marina
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007843and given a permit to operate
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007844in our inland waters,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007845that is very possible.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007846Pareho din yan sa aeroplano,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007847Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007848a non-Pilipino aeroplano
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007849pag dumating dito at sinarter ng
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007850Pilipino entity, pwede makalanding din po
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007851sa ating mga airports.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007852Yes, they are
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007853operated by Chinese. Pareho din yan
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007854sa mga aeroplano naglalanding dyan sa
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007855Naia. Now, whether or
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007856not they have a permit to dredge,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007857that is the question, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007858Kung ang permit ay Pilipino
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007859at hinayar lang yung barko na iyon
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007860para kunin yung sand sa Zambales
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007861at ibenta dyan sa Shumart
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007862at saka dyan kay Charlie Gonzales,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007863eh that is illegal activity,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007864Madam Speaker,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007865distinguished colleague.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007866Okay, so yung mga
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007867informasyon pong na
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007868nabanggit sa atin ng ating
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007869butihing
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007870sponsor ay that would be
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007871subject really to further
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007872further verification. Kasi
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007873yun nga po ang sinasabi niyo. Chinese names
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007874but actually, they're just being
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007875they're just being rented.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007876Kailangan po natin
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007877ma-verify ng
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007878maayos ito. Doon naman po tayo
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007879sa Arroy Masbate.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007880Arroy, saan yan?
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007881Mining in Arroy has been ongoing
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007882for nearly two decades.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007883B2 Gold slash
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007884Phil Minera operations are linked
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007885to contamination of six waterways,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007886fish kills,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007887respiratory diseases in children,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007888and a tailing
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007889storage facility that overflowed
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007890during Typhoon Uwan.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007891Nine Chinese nationals
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007892were arrested for illegal mining in
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007893Arroy in September of
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-0078942025. In fact, I
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007895filed, this representation
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007896filed a
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007897resolution calling for an inquiry
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007898into this situation.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007899Residents of Arroy,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007900particularly children and the elderly,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007901have reported respiratory
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007902illnesses and skin conditions
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007903they attribute to dust and
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007904fumes from mining blasting
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007905operations. DNR
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007906issued ECC amendments in
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-0079072019, and again
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007908in January 2024,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007909expanding the scope of operations.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007910Ang tanong ko po,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007911did DNR's ECC
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007912review process include
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007913an independent public health assessment
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007914and was health data
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007915from the DOH incorporated
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007916into these reviews?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007917Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007918tama po yun. Kung may mga local na mga
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007919complaints doon, eh dapat pagbigyan
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007920talaga natin ng pansin yan. Tama po kayo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007921Anytime, idulog lang natin
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007922sa DNR. Arroy is in
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007923Masbate. Yes, yes,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007924Madam Speaker. Dapat naman siguro
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007925konsultahin natin yung Governor doon bakit
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007926niya pinayagan niyo may fish kill,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007927eh kung ano-anong contamination
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007928na nangyari doon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007929Dito, wala man si Governor ko dito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007930Kung next time
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007931he will be here, we'll ask him, Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007932Distinguished Colleague. But, kung merong
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007933reports na ganyan, DNR
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007934said that immediately they will
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007935go and take a look
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007936paano nangyari. Salamat po,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007937Madam Speaker and Distinguished
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007938Sponsor.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007939Turin naman po tayo sa
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007940proposed budget mismo.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007941Po. I'm referring
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007942I wish to refer
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007943this point, the unused
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007944appropriations.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007945It's been observed that the unused
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007946appropriations for DNR
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007947are rising
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007948and not falling. DNR's
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007949unused appropriations rose
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-0079509.8 percent
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007951from 2.03 billion in
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-0079522024 to
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-0079532.23 billion
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007954in 2025.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007955OSEC alone accounted
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007956for 1.96
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007957billion, or
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-00795888.5 percent of the
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007959department's unused funds.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007960Disbursement rate fell
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007961from 84.4
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007962percent in 2024
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007963to 81.5 percent
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007964in 2025.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007965So,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007966NWRB actually posted
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007967the worst disbursement rate in the
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007968entire department,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-00796958.1 percent.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007970Lumalaki ang hindi
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007971nagagamit na pondo ng DNR.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007972Hindi bumababa.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-0079731.97 billion
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007974sa OSEC lang ang hindi nagamit
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007975noong 2025.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007976So, why is the Department asking
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007977to increase its budget by another
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-0079781 billion for 2027
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007979kung meron pa po tayong
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-007980mga hindi nagagastos?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007981Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007982yung 2 billion, almost 2 billion
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007983po ng 2025,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007984ay maraming reason po ang hindi
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007985nagamit kaagad-agad.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007986Yung number one, failure of bidding. Pero
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007987was
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-0079882025, December
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-00798931, unobligated po itong
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-0079901.9 billion. Okay.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007991And carried over as a continuing
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007992appropriation. Dahil,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007993nag-failure of bidding,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007994changes in the project sites under
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007995the Water Resources Management Program
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007996and deferment of maintenance
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007997and operational activities of
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007998Sewage Treatment Plant.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-007999Marami pong reason. Kaya,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008000nandyan pa yung pera sa kanila. Hindi pa siya nasa uli.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008001Kasi, kung failure of bidding lang,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008002siyempre, kung 3 times ka na, you will
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008003negotiate. Madam Speaker.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008004Next point, yung EMB's budget
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008005naman po is shrinking.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008006While
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008007the air gets worse.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008008Reports show na lumalala
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008009ang polusyon sa hangin.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-0080103.8 beses
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008011na ngayon sa
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008012WHO limit. Tumaas
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008013mula 2023 hanggang
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-0080142025.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008015pero binabawasan po ang budget ng EMB.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008016Hindi ho ba umaangal ang EMB tungkol dito?
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008017When you have to address a lot of problems with respect to air pollution?
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008018In 2025, for example, dito po sa Metro Manila,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008019Pasay was identified as the most polluted city in the Philippines.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008020Malabon, Caloocan, Quiapo at Mandaluyong
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008021ang kasalukuyang pinakapolluted sa real-time monitoring.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008022Meron po bang targeted intervention ng EMB
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008023para sa mga specific na lugar na ito?
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008024Upantay lang ang paghahati ng budget kahit iba-iba ang severity?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008025Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008026totoo po yun, yung EMB mayroong underperformance.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008027Meron din pong reason dito nakalagay.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008028For the additional by higher...
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008029I think of 2,765 Forest Protection Officers
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008030to support the establishment of uniform APO.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-00803159 million for the operational requirement of 7 newly legislated protected areas.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008032Bago lang po ito, newly legislated protected areas.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-00803339 million for the operation and maintenance of 9 marine-specific research centers.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008034Hindi po nagawa ito kaagad.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008035And 34 million in total.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-00803634 million for budget support
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008037for the implementation of the Ilimo, among others.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008038Yan po ang nangangulugan ng underperformance po nila.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008039So there's really underperformance in so far as EMB is concerned?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008040Ginagamit po yung pera, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008041This representation actually supports the passage of DNR's proposed budget.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008042Ngunit ang suporta na ito ay may kondisyon.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008043DNR must commit
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008044that this budget must be matched by concrete, monitorable delivery.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008045Madam Speaker, this representation's support for DNR's budget
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008046is a vote of confidence that this is the year absorption improves
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-008047and enforcement is left on the ground.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008088the formal title is
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008089Memorandum of Understanding
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008094between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008095and the Government of the United States
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008096of America
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008097concerning cooperation
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008098to diversify global critical
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008099mineral supply chains
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008100and promote investments.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008101At sa unang wera,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008102sabi, critical minerals
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008103and rare earth
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008104are essential for the production of advanced
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008105technologies and industrial activities,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008106et cetera, et cetera.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008107Ang unang tanong ko po, pinirmahan ito ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008108US at Pilipinas,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008109di yan narang pumirma,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008110pero ano bang pinirmahan nila?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008111In the first place,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008112ano ba ang ibig sabihin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008113ng critical minerals?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008114Sa batas ng Pilipinas,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008115hindi ng US,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008116meron bang legal
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008117definition of what
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008118critical minerals are?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008119Kasi sa US,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008120meron po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008121Malinaw po sa US.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008122In US,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008123critical minerals is legally
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008124defined
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008125through the Energy Act of 2020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008126of the United States.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008127Ano ang definition?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008128Critical minerals,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008129those that are essential to the economic
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008130or national security of the United States,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008131have a supply chain
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008132that is vulnerable to disruption
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008133and serve
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008134as an essential function
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008135in the manufacturing of a product
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008136the absence of which
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008137would have significant consequences
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008138for the economic
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008139or national
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008140or national security
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008141of the US.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008142Okay?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008143So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008144defined sa batas ng US,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008145kung ano yung critical minerals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008146Bakit siya critical?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008147Critical for whom?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008148Critical for the United States
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008149and particularly for its national security.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008150So, malinaw po yun.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008151And their law does more than that.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008152At tinatakda ang kanilang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008153United States Geological Survey,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008154may ahensya ng gobyerno
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008155na taon-taon naglalabas
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008156ng opisyal na listahan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008157ng critical minerals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008158So, as of 2025,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008159the latest list available,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00816025 minerals po yan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008161na tinatawag ng US
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008162na critical minerals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008163Babanggiting ko po,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00819125?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00819225 critical minerals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008193Yan po. And why
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008194exactly are they critical?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008195Bakit? Para sa US.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008196Sabi, because of national security.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008197In particular, may isa pong graphic tayo
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008198na naisipakita.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008199It's because it's critical
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008200to their defense
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008201industrial base.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008202Specifically, production
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008203of weapons.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008204So this infographic shows,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008205for example, in the case
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008206of their advanced weaponry,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008207F-35 fighter jets,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008208a single F-35
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008209fighter jet requires
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008210418 kilograms of
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008211rare earths.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008212Kasama yun sa mga critical
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008213minerals na binanggit natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008214Ayan, nasa ilalim.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008215Neodymium,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008216samarium, etc.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008217Yttrium.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008218Para sa isang jet, 418 kilograms
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008219ng critical minerals, rare earths.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008220For an Arleigh Burke
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008221destroyer,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008222parko,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008223it requires
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0082242,600 kilograms of
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008225rare earths.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008226A subgroup of
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008227critical minerals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008228And for a Virginia-class
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008229submarine, ito yung mga nuclear
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008230submarines ng US,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008231kailangan nila ng 4,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008232kilograms of rare earths.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008233Yung mga critical minerals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008234Kaya critical sa US.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008235Bakit po critical?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008236Sa pang-term,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008237dahil
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008238globally,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008239alam to ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008240ating
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008241sponsor. Sino po ang may
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008242control sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008243production and
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008244refining of critical
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008245minerals, including
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008246rare earths, globally?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008247Anong bansa ang may
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008248control sa 80%
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008249or more ng critical
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008250minerals? Anong bansa po? Alam nyo?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008251China. China po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008252China. Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008253Ngayon, ang problema ng US,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008254may matinding
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008255na tunggalian sila.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008256And, sabi nila,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008257okay, para
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008258huwag tayong malamangan ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008259China,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008260iipiti namin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008261ang aming advantage,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008262which is
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008263the most advanced semiconductors
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008264on the planet.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008265No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008266Yung AI chips.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008267Okay. Yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008268in particular, the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008269AI, the NVIDIA,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008270the graphical processing units
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008271na pinuproduce ng NVIDIA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008272Yung kampanyang NVIDIA, currently
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008273the most valuable company
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008274on the planet, it's because they
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008275produce these advanced
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008276AI semiconductors. Yung nagpapatakbo
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008277po ng AI ngayon,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008278pag nagchat-chat GPT kayo,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008279o kaya
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008280yung Claude, Anthropic,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008281no? Yan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008282Yun po ay tumatakbo sa mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008283AI chips na ito. Sabi ng US,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008284nasa atin ng mga pinaka-advanced
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008285chips, wala ito,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008286wala nito ang China,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008287they imposed export
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008288controls on
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008289these advanced semiconductors.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008290Bawal sa China.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008291Kaya po, ang semiconductors
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008292ng China for AI
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008293ay many generations
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008294behind. No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008295Para pong ganito, to visualize,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008296gaano ka behind,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008297kung ngayon may
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008298iPhone 18 na,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008299naka-advanced yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008300microchip dyan, iPhone 18,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008301yung sa China, yung domestically
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008302produced and available sa kanila,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008303parang iPhone
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008304iPhone 7.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008305Yun, nandun sila,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0083062015, ang level
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008307ng kanilang iPhone,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008308ng kanilang microchips.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008309Okay? So, ganun po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008310Sabi ng US, itong
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008311advantage ng US, atin ng advanced
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008312semiconductors, pagkakait natin sa China,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008313ano naman ang ganti ng,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008314sa China, ang naging ganti po nila,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008315ah, ganun ah, pagkakait yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008316microchips nyo, pagkakait
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008317namin ang rare earths.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008318Okay? O, yan ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008319problema ngayon ng US, dahil
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008320paano na yung kanilang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008321mga sandata?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008322Eh, nasa gera pa naman ngayon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008323They need this supply. Kaya po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008324merong Pax Silica.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008325It's an attempt by the US
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008326to secure
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008327critical
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008328mineral supply,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008329against China.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008330Okay?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008331Tama po ba ang kwento ko so far,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008332Mr. Speaker?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008333Madam Speaker?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008334Tama po? Yes.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008335Okay. Ngayon, ang tanong ko, going back to my question.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008336At least sa bahagi ng US,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008337malinaw sa kanila,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008338what they mean when they say critical minerals?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008339Sa kaso ng Pilipinas,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008340ano po ba yung critical minerals?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008341Do we even have a definition of critical minerals?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008342Dito sa atin,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008343kukunti lang yung
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008344yung critical
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008345mineral list,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008346eh, hindi mabasadong marami ito.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008347Kaya lang,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008348simpre, kung i-itemize mo
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008349yung sinasabi mo kanina dyan,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008350distinguished colleague, Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008351na 25, napakarami noon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008352Some of it, wala tayo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008353Ang ginawa naman ng DNR,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008354doon sa MOU na yun,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008355which is non-binding,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008356pin-point lang nila.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008357Kasi meron tayong generalized,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008358mineralized area sa buong Pilipinas.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008359More or less, alam natin kung anong laman noon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008360Kasi merong manifestation yun sa labas.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008361Sa ibawa, yung nickel mo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008362Ang manifestation yun,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008363hindi lang pulang lupa.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008364Kung hindi, namumula at nangingitim yung lupa.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008365Kung nickel.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008366Yun namang chromium,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008367eh, nagpupulot mo lang yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008368Ang walang malaking depositong chromium,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008369yung chrome,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008370yung rare,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008371yung mineral din yun.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008372Ngunit,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008373ang ginagawa ng Amerika ito,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008374dahil sinabi ko na a while ago,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008375na pag na-overrun ng China ang Taiwan,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008376siya ang gumagawa.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008377May apat na kumpanya doon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008378Isa, TMAC.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008381Ngunit, apat yung silang malalaki.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008382That supplies the whole world, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008383Now,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008384in order to counter that, kung ma-overrun ng China,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008385inassume na kasi,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008386ng Amerika,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008387na ma-overrun ng China ang Taiwan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008388The best, the best is to do an advanced planning.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008389Pag na-overrun,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008390meron kang Pilipinas na mas malaki pa sa Taiwan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008391Eh, ang Taiwan, parang isla lang ng buhol yung kalaki eh.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008392Di ba?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008393Pero, doon din nadala lahat ang critical minerals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008394Okay.

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008689that we surrender our sovereignty.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008708marketplaces in which

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008724for critical
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008725minerals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008726So, tayo magbentahan tayo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008727Yung iba, pwede natin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008728iitsapuwera.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008735That's why we have to take advantage,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008746sasabihin din ng US, teka muna,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008759minerals agreement na to, teka,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008760huwag na kayo dyan sa China.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008778i-process. Pagkatapos, bayaran tayo.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-008779This is economic activity.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008813Yung definition ng critical minerals
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008814that are critical,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008815or vital, to our own
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008816national interest,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008817not to the national interest
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008818of the United States.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008833Pag merong mineral reserve dyan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008834kami ang una.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008915alam niyo yun,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008916yun ang dahilan ng haze.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008917Diba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008918Dahil taon-taon sinusunog nila,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008919parang kaingin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008920pero on a massive scale,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008921sinusunog nila yung mga lupa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008922to clear.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008923The land for palm oil.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008924Palm oil.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008925Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008926And because of this,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008927especially during dry sea drought,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008928and now,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008929Super El Nino period,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008930eto po.

asr-008931Yung napakalaking sunog
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008932sa Kalimantan at sa Sumatra,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008933umakabot na po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008934hindi lang sa mga kapigbahay,

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009032Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009033distinguished colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009034And whatever is expected from DNR,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009035rest assured that DNR is doing their best
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009036in order to warn our population
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009037so that they will not be contaminated
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009038with the high pollution coming from
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009039the burning of forest waste
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009040for plantation purposes.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009041Pag sinabi ko pong ginagawa,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009042ang tinutukoy ko po ay under the agreement,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009043Article 4.2 of the Agreement
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009044on Transborder Haze Pollution,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009045sabi po ron,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009046the governments may request,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009047may ask for consultation
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009048or demand information formally
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009049sa Indonesian Government.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009050Ginawa po ba yan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009051ng Philippines?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009052Sa Philippine Government,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009053in this case,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009054DNR daw ang dapat na gumagawa noon.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009055Tama po kayo, Madam Speaker,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009056distinguished colleague.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009057Meron talaga agreement.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009058Pero pinapadaan sa ASEAN.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009059So, one ASEAN country cannot just
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009060demand compensation from the other.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009061Maybe they will write na,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009062Uy, for two days, three days kami sa buong Pilipinas,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009063apektado kami ng inyong pagsusunog dyan
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009064ng mga punong kahoy sa Sumatra at saka sa Kalimantan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009065Kaya kung hindi ninyo ma-stop yung pagsusunog dyan
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009066at saka yung pollution, yung haze pollution,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009067nagtatravel from Singapore down to Kalimantan,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009068down to the Philippines,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009069ay dapat i-compensate nyo kami.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009070Siguro, ganun ang ibig mong sabihin na,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009071Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague,
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009072DNR will do that through the ASEAN.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009073Hindi pa nila nagagawa yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009074We admit, it is not yet being done.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009075And there is such an agreement.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009076Correct po kayo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009077Thank you.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009078Meron pong mga meeting na naganap.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009079Yung mga ibang bansa na affected, kasama po doon,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009080Indonesia, even Brunei, and East Timor.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009081Naganap ito sa Bali last July.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009082Dumalo po ba ang Pilipinas sa meeting na to?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009083Precisely on the topic of trans-border haze pollution.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009084Dumalo po ba ang Pilipinas?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009085Ang DNR specifically sa meeting na ito?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009086Hindi, Madam Speaker.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009087I'm sorry.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009088Kasi hindi tayo member.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009089Sa subcommittee, what that is.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009090Hindi kayo member.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009091Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009092Sa October,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009093magkakaroon po ng meeting sa Da Nang,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009094sa Vietnam,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009095ministerial...
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009096Meeting.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009097Ministerial subcommittee meeting.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009098No, no, sorry.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009099Conference of parties.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009100Conference of parties to the agreement on trans-border haze pollution.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009101Dadalo po ba ang DNR dito?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009102Tinanong ko yan sa DFA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009103Sabi nila, tanong nyo sa DNR.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009104Tinatanong ko po sa inyo ngayon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009105Dadalo po ba kayo?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009106Madam Speaker, upcoming, they will attend daw.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009107We will attend.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009108Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009109Magiging agenda po ba ang pinsala na nangyayari sa Pilipinas at sa mga mamamayang Pilipino?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009110Dala nito sa ASEAN Summit sa November.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009111Nagaganapin dito mismo sa Pilipinas.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009112Siguro habang nandito sila sa PICC po yun.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009113Ngayon, mararanasan nung lahat yung usok na yan.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009114Pag November, wala na yung usok.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009116First issue lang, I don't know how to collect.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009117If you can help verbalize or memorize, memorialize what you are saying today.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009118That will help the DNR in order to present our case.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009119Mr. Speaker, to wrap up, dahil lagpas na po tayo sa oras.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009120Wala na eh, time expired ka na, sayang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009121Well, nakikita po natin kung gaano ka, inutil, walang ginagawa ang Marcos Jr. Administration sa issue ng trans-border haze pollution.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009122No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009123Right now, September 17, yung Deputy Prime Minister ng Malaysia ay nasa Indonesia nakikipag-meeting.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009124Naniningil sila. Ano bang pwede natin gawin para huwag na maulit ito and so on.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009125Ganon po ka high level ang usapin dahil naisprotektahan ng Malaysia, katulad din ng Singapore, ang kanilang mamamayan, populasyon sa epekto ng pollution.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009126Pero dito sa Pilipinas, abay, pabanjing-banjing lang ang Malacanang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009127Hayaan nyo na lang, mag-mask na lang daw kayo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009128O kaya mag-cancel tayo ng klase pagkasobra na ang haze.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009129So kaya po, we expect that the DNR and Malacanang will do its job in protecting the health of the Filipino people and our environment.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009130So hanggang doon na lang po, Madam Speaker. Maraming salamat.
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-009151Has the LLDA conducted any investigation or any formal inquiry into each of the identified reclamation activities in these areas?
Rep. Edgar R. Erice
asr-009152So, what is the status of each case?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009153Opo, DNR has already issued notice of violation sa Taguig at saka sa Muntinlupa.
Rep. Edgar R. Erice
asr-009154Yun po bang LLDA na nag-refer na ng mga kaso sa Office of the Ombudsman pagdating po doon sa mga reclamation projects?
Rep. Edgar R. Erice
asr-009155At ano po yung mga project na...
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009156Hindi pa po, Madam Speaker, the distinguished colleague.
Rep. Edgar R. Erice
asr-009157Wala na po?
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez
asr-009158Wala pa.
Rep. Edgar R. Erice
asr-009159Wala pa po. Okay. Salamat po. At alam ko nyo, nakikisa ko.
Rep. Edgar R. Erice
asr-009160Alam ko yung DNR is one of the most professional agencies in the government.
Rep. Edgar R. Erice
asr-009161In fact, alam ko ang kauna-unang nag-ISO yung Environmental Management Bureau.
Rep. Edgar R. Erice
asr-009162So, in that case,
Rep. Edgar R. Erice
asr-009163I would like to move to terminate.
Rep. Edgar R. Erice
asr-009164In behalf of the minority, I would like to terminate the consideration of the DNR's budget.
Rep. Edgar R. Erice
asr-009165Salamat po.

asr-009363we recognize
Rep. Marlyn L. Primicias-Agabas
asr-009364Honorable Antonio Tinio

Rep. Marlyn L. Primicias-Agabas
asr-009368I withdraw, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Marlyn L. Primicias-Agabas

Rep. Marlyn L. Primicias-Agabas
asr-009371of Gabriela Party-list
Rep. Marlyn L. Primicias-Agabas
asr-009372be recognized to explain her vote.
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-009390Representative Sarah Jane Elago of Gabriela Women's Party-list is hereby recognized to explain her vote. She has three minutes.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009391This representation from Gabriela, Women's Party, votes no to House Bill No. 9642 or the proposed new Espionage Bill.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009392Malawak ang definisyon ng espionage sa ilalim ng Section 5.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009393Sa panukalang batas, maaaring ituring na espionage ang mga gawaing sinasabing nagdudulot o maaaring magdulot ng pinsala sa Estado.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009394Malabo at malawak ang ganitong pamantayan at nagbubukas ito ng possibility na gamitin laban sa lehitimong kritisismo.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009395Sa ilalim ng seksyong ito, habang buhay na pagkakakulong ng walang benefit of parole at benefits of good conduct time allowance ang parusa.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009396Sa kasalukuyang kalagayan kung saan ang mga kritiko ng pamahalaan ay nababansagan na terorista,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009397napakamapanganib ng isang panukalang batas na maaaring magturing sa paglalabas.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009398Paglalantad ng korupsyon, pagbatiko sa mga palisiya o paglalabas ng impormasyong nasa interes ng publiko bilang isang uri ng quote-unquote injury to the state.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009399The bill also expands the definition of critical infrastructure to shield private corporate interest by including telecommunications, energy and food security under the umbrella of espionage protection.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009400The bill effectively bans the public from scrutinizing.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009401The industries that most affect their lives.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009402Nagbibigay ang panukala ng mas malawak na kapangyarihan para sa surveillance at pagmonitor ng mga communication at financial transactions.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009403Sa section 16 at section 17, sa pamamagitan ng pag-bypass sa anti-wiretapping law at pagbibigay ng kapangyarihan sa AMLAC na i-freeze ang mga pondo batay lamang sa hinala,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009404ginagawa nitong normal ang surveillance, harassment at pag-target sa mga kritiko.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009405Maaaring gamitin ang ganitong malawak na kapangyarihan upang matahimik o patahimikin ang mga naglalantad ng katotohanan sa mga katiwalian at umaalma laban sa mga mapanupil at mapang-abuso na palisiya.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009406Dahil dito, ang Gabriela Women's Party ay bumuboto ng no sa House Bill No. 9642.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-009407Maraming salamat.
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-009408Majority Leader.
Rep. Marlyn L. Primicias-Agabas
asr-009409Madam Speaker, I move that we recognize Honorable Antonio Tinio of ACT Teachers to explain his vote.
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-009411Representative Antonio Tinio of ACT Teachers Party-list is hereby recognized to explain his vote.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009412Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009413First of all, we note that some effort has been made during the period of amendments,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009414effort by the sponsors to introduce certain amendments that would somehow limit the scope of certain provisions.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009415Thereby,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009416acknowledging our essential critique that the definitions and the scope and coverage of the bill is so overly broad that it poses threat and danger to the rights and civil liberties of Filipinos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009418In the name of national security.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009419However, these amendments have not gone far enough.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009420So, nananatili pa rin po ang masaklaw na coverage ng national security, ng critical infrastructure, ng mga pinagbabawal na acto,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009421na nanatiling banta.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009422Ang panukalang batas na ito, lalo na para sa mga kritiko at mga tumututol at lumalaban para sa kanilang karapatan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009423Kaya maaaring gamitin ang panukalang batas na ito bilang isa na namang instrumento, dagdag na instrumento,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009424para sa pagsupil ng fundamental rights ng mamamayang Pilipino to free expression, the right to dissent in the name of national security.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009425Katulad din ng anti-terror law at mga kaugnay na batas.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009426Kaya dahil po rito ay bumuboto tayo ng no sa panukalang batas, an act expanding the coverage of espionage law.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-009427Maraming salamat Madam Speaker.
