Before we proceed with today's deliberations,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000022

I would like to request the indulgence of the body for the Chairperson to deliver a short opening statement.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000023

My esteemed colleagues and our kababayans watching intently via livestream,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000024

Magandang hapon po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000025

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000026

The Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee, or the BARSC,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000027

was established to ensure that the budget review process is conducted with greater transparency,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000028

broader public participation, and stronger alignment with the most urgent and pressing needs of our people.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000029

This is one of the hallmark reforms that we have started since last year.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000030

As we have abolished the small committee,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000031

and now we are deliberating,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000032

all of the amendments, line by line, live-streamed for our countrymen to see.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000033

Today, we convene for the second consecutive year

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000034

to deliberate on amendments to the proposed 2027 National Budget,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000035

all of which arise from requests submitted by various agencies.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000036

These are strictly institutional amendments,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000037

meaning that the Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee will only deliberate on amendments

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000038

that agencies and departments have submitted.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000039

Moreover, we imposed a condition that the head of agency must be the signatory

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000040

of such requests submitted for the deliberation of the BARSC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000041

Moreover, the recommendations raised during the committee deliberations of the Committee on Appropriations

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000042

and of the two weeks of plenary deliberations

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000043

are all...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000044

are all also taken into consideration by the BARSC over the course of today's deliberations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000045

We would like to make it clear.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000046

The actions of the Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee is recommendatory.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000047

The House retains, and the plenary retains, the authority to act on the proposed amendments and recommendations of the BARSC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000048

We would also like to highlight and emphasize the composition of the Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000059

As discussed previously, as manifested during the Committee on Appropriations

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000069

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000070

the composition

asr-000077

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000094

that were submitted

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000095

by the agencies. These

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000096

are voluminous, spanning

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000097

thousands of line items.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000098

And these have been furnished

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000101

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000102

to peruse, review,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000103

and look through which of the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000104

amendments would

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000105

have to be considered

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000106

by the BARSC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000107

To ensure orderly

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000108

proceedings, a

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000109

particular amendment

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000110

will only be considered

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000111

if a BARSC member raises it

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000112

or nominates it.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000113

We shall then proceed

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000114

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000115

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000116

on a per-line item basis.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000117

That means we will decide

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000118

whether the BARSC will recommend

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000119

to adopt, revise,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000120

or defer action on a particular

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000121

amendment.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000122

Today, the House

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000123

and the members of the Budget

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000124

Amendments Review

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000125

Subcommittee reaffirm

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000126

our steadfast commitment

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000128

accountable, and people-centered

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000129

budget process.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000130

Sa atin pong mga kababayan,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000131

makakaasa po kayo

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000132

na ang budget para sa taong

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000133

2027 ay talagang

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000134

tutugon sa pangangailangan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000135

ng ating bansa at ng ating

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000136

mga kababayan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000137

And with that, we will proceed

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000138

with the deliberations of the BARSC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000139

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000140

And I would like to open

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000141

the floor to our

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000142

members of the BARSC for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000143

any manifestations or

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000144

anything that you would

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000145

like to raise to the body

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000146

before we proceed with the actual deliberations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000147

Yes, po. Senior Deputy

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000148

Speaker Ferdinand Hernandez.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000149

I think it's important to

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000150

clarify

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000151

the difference between

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000152

this year and last year's

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000153

BARSC.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000154

Unlike last year,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000155

we already have a ready source of

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000156

250 billion taken from the flood control.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000157

This year,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000158

the fiscal space is very

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000159

limited. In other words, we have to

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000160

look for the source to be able

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000161

to accommodate all the

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000162

requests of the different departments.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000163

So, ang dami nilang requests,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000164

napakaliit nung

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000165

source natin. Then we have to look

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000166

at the different, again, review all the

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000167

different departments.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000168

Hahanapin natin yung slow moving,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000169

yung absorptive capacity,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000170

yung low utilization.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000171

So,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000172

it is much harder

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000173

this year compared

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000174

to last year. Dahil,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000175

again,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000176

napakalimitado nung mga

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000177

funds na pwede

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000178

nating ibigay sa mga

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000179

different agencies na importante

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000180

na ma-increase,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000181

mapagbigyan yung mga requests nila.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000182

Thank you very much, po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000183

Senior Deputy Speaker

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000184

Ferdinand Hernandez.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000185

I'd like to recognize Representative Alan T.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-000186

Chair,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-000191

amendments to this committee

through the Chairperson and to the

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-000193

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000197

Thank you for highlighting that and thank you for that

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000198

manifestation. It is important

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000199

to highlight that although

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000200

not,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000201

not all members of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000202

the House can be present

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000203

in the deliberations of the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000204

Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000205

that is exactly the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000206

design by which the BARSC

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000207

was created

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000208

in which the members

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000209

of the BARSC would serve as their

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000210

representatives, their representation

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000211

for the advocacies, the individual

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000212

recommendations

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000213

of the members. So, most definitely,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000214

we assure our

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000215

colleagues, as mentioned by

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000216

Representative Alan T.,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000217

Gabriela Party List

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000218

and Akbayan Party List,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000219

that we will take into consideration

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000220

the requests,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000221

the institutional amendments

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000222

that they have recommended

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000223

for consideration of the BARSC.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000224

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000224-split-2

Representative Brian po?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000225

Madam Chair, for transparency purposes,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000226

gusto ko lang sabihin din na hindi lang

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000227

yung minority yung nagpadala

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000228

ng pahabol po ng mga requests.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000229

Ang mga agencies po,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000230

individually, we're calling members of the BARSC

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000231

to request for last minute

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000232

kung pwede nila

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000233

isama sa budget, but these

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000234

requests had to be vetted.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000235

And each request had to have, as you said,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000236

the signature of the Secretary.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000237

So, kaya

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000238

it may have taken a bit longer,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000239

and I apologize, but I also want to remind

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000240

everyone here that

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000241

last year, we started a day late.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000242

At least today, we started

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000243

only a few hours later. So, kahit pa paano,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000244

we're moving as quickly as we can.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000245

Thank you very much, po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000246

I think it's important to highlight

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000247

the manifestations of SDS

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000248

Hernandez and

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000249

Representative Brian po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000250

There are so many requests

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000251

emanating from the agencies, even

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000252

though we set a deadline of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000253

on the part of Committee on Appropriations,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000254

we set a deadline of, I think,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000255

three weeks ago. And then

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000256

for some of the agencies, right

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000257

after their plenary deliberations,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000258

nung nabalitaan po, when we

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000259

made the announcement yesterday,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000260

that the BARSC will convene today.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000261

As expected po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000262

nagtatawag din po lahat ng mga

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000263

ahensya. So, even though we already

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000264

had thousands of line items that we

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000265

had to scrutinize, may mga

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000266

pahabol pa rin po. So, thank you

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000267

po for making that manifestation.

And yes po, it's doubly hard

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000269

on the part of the BARSC now

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000270

because of the limited fiscal space.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000271

Last year po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000272

as manifested by SDS

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000273

Hernandez, there was

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000274

that P255 billion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000275

peso, essentially

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000276

amount that was taken out

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000277

from DPWH flood control

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000278

projects that had to be

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000279

reallocated across the different agencies.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000280

So, it was clear that

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000281

there was that amount

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000282

that we could distribute across

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000283

the agencies. Ngayon po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000284

the BARSC is very cognizant

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000285

that over the course of the deliberations,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000286

sobrang dami pong mga programa

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000287

na nabanggit

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000288

ng ating mga kasamahan, ng ating

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000289

mga ahensya,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000290

na sobrang kailangan mapondohan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000291

na walang pondo sa NEP

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000292

o di kaya hindi sapat yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000293

pondo sa National Expenditure Program.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000294

Halimbawa po, magbabanggit na po siguro

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000295

ako ng ilan, under the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000296

Department of Education, it has been

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000297

manifested that the AREL program

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000298

has no budget. It has zero

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000299

budget in the NEP. That is something

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000300

that we cannot ignore.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000301

It was also mentioned that

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000302

the importance of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000303

the school's security,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000304

the funding for school security,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000305

which was also not there in the NEP,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000306

it needs to be funded. Service

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000307

contracting, for example, fuel

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000308

transport subsidy,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000309

and all of these

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000310

very, very important

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000311

programs

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000312

that were either not funded

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000313

or underfunded in the NEP,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000314

nabanggit po yan over the course

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000315

of our months of deliberation.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000316

So sa parte naman po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000317

ng BARSC, narinig po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000318

namin yun at nakita po namin

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000319

na kailangan nating pondohan,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000320

so dahil wala pong

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000321

P255 billion, katulad ng last year

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000322

na madaling hugutin,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000323

kailangan po talaga namin suriin

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000324

kung papaano po nating mapupondohan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000325

ito pong mga programa na ito.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000326

The budget is a zero-sum game.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000327

If you fund one program,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000328

you have to take from another

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000329

program. So that makes the job

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000330

of the BARSC doubly hard

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000331

this year. So thank you so much po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000332

for manifesting that.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000333

Madam Chair, quick manifestation.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000334

Yes.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000335

Yes, Representative

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000336

Jan Garin, Deputy Speaker.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000337

Thank you, Madam Chair. In addition,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000338

we as members of the BARSC

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000339

have also been receiving

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000340

additional requests

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000341

from various

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000342

agencies in consideration

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000343

with the surely incoming,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000344

upcoming Super El Nino,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000345

as well as the impact

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000346

on the Philippines and the Filipino

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000347

people and every individual Filipino

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000348

family, considering the global

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000349

conflict that apparently

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000350

does not seem to leave the world.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000351

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000352

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000353

Thank you, Deputy Speaker Garin.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000354

Before I recognize Representative Brian Po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000355

Senior Vice Chairperson Albert Garcia.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000356

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000357

And aside from the very limited fiscal space

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000358

that was emphasized by SDS Fernandez

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000359

and the geopolitical and climate change impact

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000360

that we face, we are facing and we will face

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000361

in the near future.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000362

Aside from the

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000363

requests of the agencies

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000364

na naghahabol

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000365

and we are considering each one,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000366

let's not forget

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000367

yung mga concerns, recommendation,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000368

and

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000369

alternative

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000370

proposal ng civil society,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000371

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000372

that we are continuously

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000373

engaging from

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000374

last year up to this year under

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000375

your instruction

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000376

and under the leadership

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000377

of the House.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000378

So, ang dami rin po nilang mga recommendation

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000379

and a lot of them are very valid.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000380

Yung iba po, through the Vice Chairs

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000381

of the different agencies,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000382

Yung iba po, dumiretso sa inyo, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000383

And aside from that,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000384

yung mga LGUs, through their representatives,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000385

and some go directly to you

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000386

or to the Committee on Appropriations.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000387

So,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000391

Together with the agencies, lahat po ito kinukonsider ng BARSC with very limited fiscal space

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000392

para pagkakasya-kasyahin at mabigyan talaga yung pangangailangan na prioridad ng ating national budget.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-000393

So, thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000394

Thank you very much for that manifestation, SVC Albert Garcia.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000395

Si SVC Albert po kasi siya yung nag-head ng delegation ng Committee on Appropriations to the People's Budget Review.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000396

So, SVC would be the best person to help us and guide us also to make sure that we are deliberating

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000397

on the items raised by our civil society organization partners.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000398

So, isa pong mahalagang assurance na maibibigay po ng BARSC sa ating mga partners sa civil society.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000399

Sigurado po na meron po kayong boses sa ating deliberasyon ngayong hapon.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000400

Dahil nandito po si SVC Garcia, nandito po ako, yung mga natanggap din po na galing sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000401

Nandito din po yung mga vice-chairs ng Committee on Appropriations na directed yung po na nakausap din doon sa People's Budget Review.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000402

So, maraming maraming salamat po.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-000403

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000404

If I may, Kong Brian.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000405

May I now recognize minority?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000406

Minority Leader Marcelino Libanan.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-000407

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-000408

Madam Chair, marami sa mga tao natin nagtatanong bakit napakaliit or maliit ang fiscal space natin.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-000409

Dahil noong 2026 budget, ang inallocate natin ay 6.78 trillion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-000410

Ngayon, 7.2 trillion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-000411

Lumaki yung pera natin pero parang kinakapos po tayo.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-000412

May 6% increase po tayo.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-000413

Kaya kung maari maka-explain tayo kung bakit ganito ang nangyayari sa atin.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000414

Thank you very much po, Mayno.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000415

I'm just looking through my notes.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000416

I'm just looking at all the mandatory appropriations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000417

But on top of my head po, in theory po, tulad po na nabanggit,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000418

ni Mayno, tumaas po yung budget natin from 6.8 trillion up to 7.2 trillion pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000419

So in theory, dapat po may 400 billion na kayagdagan na pwede nating ma-allocate.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000420

Kasa lang po, marami pong mga mandatory allocations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000421

Essentially, the whole 400 million went to these mandatory allocations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000422

For example po, I don't know if I'll remember everything now,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000423

but a huge part of it,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000424

went to the increase in salary standardization law,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000425

the new tranche of the SSL.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000426

Mayroon din pong napunta doon po sa increase in subsistence allowance under the MUP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000427

Mayroon din po sa interest payments.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000428

Mayroon din pong, for example, under DA, there's this new law called ANSEF.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000429

20 billion went to that.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000430

There's also the increase in national tax allocation.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000431

I think that's malaki po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000432

And then there's also this new law for the judiciary,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000433

the fiscal autonomy law.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000434

So essentially, 12 billion went towards that.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000435

So ito pong, hindi ko po ma-breakdown yung kabuuan ng 400 billion,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000436

kung saan po napunta exactly,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000437

pero napunta po yun sa mandatory allocation.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000438

So kung susumahin po natin,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000439

at inuneto natin, wala po tayong increase

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000440

doon po sa talagang programmed appropriations

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000441

na atin pong pwedeng magalaw o di kaya maikot

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000442

doon po sa loob ng HGAB or yung House General Appropriations Bill.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000443

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000444

Representative Brian po?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000445

So siguro po, on that note, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000446

since we're talking about an increased budget to 7 trillion,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000447

konting paalala sa mga kasama natin dito sa BARSC,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000448

lahat tayo magpapropose ng amendments,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000449

but all of these amendments, ultimately,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000450

all this money comes from our taxpayers

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000451

who this year have struggled so much,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000452

yung middle class po natin,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000453

ang mga small to medium enterprises,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000454

to provide these taxes for our program.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000455

So ang priority po natin sana are low-cost

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000456

but high-impact amendments per agency.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000458

So yun lang po.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000459

On behalf of the MSMEs and middle class workers,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000460

konting paalala, let's try to be as efficient as possible

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000461

with our amendments, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000462

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000463

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000464

Representative Brian po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000465

Next po, Representative Brian Yamsuan.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000466

From one Brian to another.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000467

Madam Chair, gusto ko lang din i-manifest

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000468

at para malaman din ang ating mga kababayan na nanonood

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000469

na bukod dun sa mga specific project requests,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000470

meron din pinapadala sa atin,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000471

yung mga agencies na hiling nila for special provisions

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000472

para nang sa ganun magawan natin ang paraan

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000473

yung mga kailangan nila

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000474

para yung project implementation

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000475

hindi nakakaroon ng, kumbaga,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000476

bara dun sa kanilang mga gagawin.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000477

So bukod dun sa mga specific project requests,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000478

meron din silang mga requests for special provisions

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000479

na i-discuss din natin siguro mamaya, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-000480

para lang alam ng ating mga kababayan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000481

Thank you very much, Kong Brian.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000482

Tama po yun.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000483

So we're also going to deliberate.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000484

Hindi lang po puro numero yung atin pong tatalakayan ngayong araw,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000485

pati po yung mga special provisions.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000486

Ibig sabihin po, sa mga implementation po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000487

ng mga programa nitong mga nakaraang taon,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000488

may mga nakita po na improvement areas pa

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000489

o mga dahilan kung bakit nadedelay

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000490

o nahihirapan yung implementation

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000491

ng isang program or project.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000492

So yun po, yung special provision po na kanilang hinihiling

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000493

ay para po mas mapaganda pa.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000494

Yung implementation ng mga programang yun.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000495

So you'll hear special provisions

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000496

as well as numbers being discussed today po.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000497

Chair?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000498

Deputy Speaker Bambi Emano.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000499

Earlier, SVC Garcia mentioned local government units.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000500

At the proper time, Madam Chair also,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000501

I hope that we will be able to help

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000502

the local government support fund.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000503

Having been from the local government unit, Madam Chair,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000504

I saw that barangays were given

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000505

authority, power to implement projects

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000506

of their choosing of what their constituents really need.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000507

Even mayors, governors were given opportunity

And hopefully, Madam Chair, later we'll be able to find ways

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000511

where we'll be able to help and support it

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000512

because I believe, Madam Chair,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000513

that it will actually help not only the local government

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000514

but the country.

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-000515

As a whole, Madam Chair.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000517

Thank you very much, DS Bambi.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000518

We will open the floor to all the BARSC members

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000519

to make those manifestations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000520

Rest assured po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000521

Before we jump in,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000522

siguro po, tulad po ng nabanggit,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000523

we apologize to our kababayans

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000524

who were waiting for the start of the BARSC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000525

We apologize for the delay.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000526

But, ano po, we have to buckle our seats now

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000527

because it's going to be a long,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000528

um, deliberation.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000529

Last year po, inabot po kami ng 20 hours

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000530

sa kahabaan po noong buong BARSC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000531

So, hopefully, we don't last 20 hours today.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000532

But, um, yun po kasi yung commitment,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000533

yun po kasi yung commitment natin sa ating mga kababayan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000534

na ipapakita po natin line by line

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000535

lahat po ng mga amienda

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000536

na atin pong ipapasok dito po sa ating budget

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000537

para sa taong 2027.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000538

So, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000539

please bear with us po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000540

It's going to be a lengthy discussion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000541

It might get very tedious at times.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000542

But, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000543

this is consistent with the commitment of the House

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000544

to make sure that, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000545

the crafting of the budget is transparent

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000546

and accountable to our countrymen.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000547

So, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000548

if there are no other manifestations po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000549

will there be any more manifestations

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000550

from the members of the BARSC

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000551

before we get into the meat of the discussion po?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000552

Okay.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000553

Okay.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000554

Wala na, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000554-split-2

Okay. So, um, we, perhaps if I may suggest po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000555

we can do, um, a similar way, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000556

to the, to how we did it last year.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000557

It's going to be a free-flowing discussion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000558

I will open the floor to the members of the BARSC

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000559

to essentially, um, elect or nominate

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000560

which agency, um, they want, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000561

we want, um, we want to, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000562

to, um, to tackle.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000563

Um, so, um, I will open it.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000564

Pero kung, um, siguro po with the indulgence

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000565

of the, the members of the BARSC,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000566

if we could start with the education cluster,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000567

um, given that it has the highest budgetary,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000568

um, share in, in, in, in our, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000569

as per the constitution.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000570

So if, it's okay po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000571

if I may start, uh, with the first agency po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000572

um, if I may, um, propose some amendments,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000573

um, for the education cluster,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000574

particularly po, um, since ang lawak po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000575

na education cluster,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000576

if we may start po with DepEd,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000577

Department of Education,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000578

okay lang po ba?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000579

Okay?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000580

All right, I have a few po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000581

which I hope to advocate for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000582

under, uh, the Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000583

Um, the first one po would be, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000584

based on the request of the Department of Education,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000585

um, signed by Secretary Sonny Angara,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000586

um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000587

it relates to school safety and security.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000588

Um, alam naman po natin yung nagaganap,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000589

um, sa atin pong mga paaralan,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000590

at, um, hindi po man natin gustuhin,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000591

um, pero kailangan po natin, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000592

maging handa sa mga pagkakataon na

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000593

kung meron mang ganun ulit na mga mangyayari

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000594

with school shootings and violence

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000595

and, um, potential threats to the safety of our students.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000596

So meron pong, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000597

proposal ang, ang DepEd

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000598

to allocate, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000599

funds for school safety and security.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000600

The request of the agency po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000601

I believe, amounts to around, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000602

800 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000603

That was the request lodged by, um, DepEd.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000604

Currently, school safety and security

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000605

has zero funding in the NEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000606

Wala pong nakalagay na budget sa NEP

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000607

para po tumugon, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000608

sa mga pangangailangan ng

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000609

ating mga estudyante

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000610

pagdating po sa seguridad.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000611

Um, and with that po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000612

um, given the urgency of the situation

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000613

at kung gaano po kahalaga ito,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000614

um, I would like to put forth, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000615

to, for the consideration of the BARSC,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000616

to allocate 500 million pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000617

for school safety and security.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000618

Isa-isayin po ba natin?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000619

Or per department na lang po ba?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000620

Or per...

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000621

Per...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000622

Per agency.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000623

Ay, per agency.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000624

So, yun po.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000625

Papakita po pala natin.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000628

Dumiretso na tayo kaagad.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000629

If I may po backtrack a little bit,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000630

um, we would like to show our, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000631

BARSC members and the viewing public

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000632

the document which we will fill

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000633

throughout the course of our deliberations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000634

I was gonna,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000635

I was gonna call on the Excel file.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000636

Hindi ko pa pala po napapaliwanag.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000637

Um, may I request our ComSec

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000638

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000639

So, same as last year po,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000640

um, we will show line by line,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000641

um, all the proposed amendments

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000642

and the approved amount

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000643

of our, um, of the amendment.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000644

So, um, yun lang po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000645

Um, please take it off the screen na po ulit.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000646

So, it will show the NEP level,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000647

the proposed amount,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000648

and the new total

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000649

for a particular program.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000650

So, yun po yung una.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000651

Okay.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000652

So, we'll, um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000653

uh, upon conferring with the BARSC po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000654

we'll do a line by line, um, approval.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000655

So, again,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000656

I would like to put forth

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000657

a, a proposal

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000658

to the members of the BARSC

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000659

to please allocate

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000660

500 million pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000661

towards school safety and security

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000662

under the Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000663

Currently, it has zero, um, budget in the DEP.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000664

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000665

Yes, po.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000666

Um, I support the proposal

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000667

because recently,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000668

sa distrito ko po,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000669

nangyari yung shooting.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000670

And talagang hindi ito,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000671

na-anticipate,

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000672

ng, uh,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000673

hindi na-anticipate

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000674

at walang budget.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000675

And, uh,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000676

it is quite

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000677

important

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000678

na

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000679

sana

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000680

hindi na madagdagan

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000681

at wala ng buhay

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000682

na mabubuwis.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000683

So,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000684

I support the proposal,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000685

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

a motion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000717

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000718

500 million pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000719

towards school safety

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000720

and security

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000721

under the Department

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000722

of Education.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000723

There is a motion,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000724

duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000725

The motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000726

Oh, any obje,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Wala po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000729

Is there any objection?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000731

Um, the chair hears none.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000732

The motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000733

Um, next po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000734

uh, for DepEd.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000735

Um, again, under DepEd,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000736

um, I'll treat it

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000737

as a cluster po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000738

Um, this is something

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000739

that we funded last

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000740

year, also under the BARSC that was very positively received by our kababayans, this pertains to special education programs.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000741

So kung pwede ko po siyang i-clump together, tatlo po yung aking po i-advocate, Madrasa Education Program, Special Needs Education Program, and Indigenous Peoples Education Program or IPED.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000742

There is a request po, again emanating from DEPED, last year po, I believe if I remember correctly, we allocated 25 million pesos each to the three different programs.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000743

This year po, if I may put forth a motion, first for the Madrasa Education Program to add 50 million pesos for the Madrasa Education Program.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000744

The motion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000745

Yes, is there any second? Any objection? Any comment?

Source

Please add 50 million pesos to the Madrasa Education Program.

asr-000748

Next is the Special Needs Education Program. Kahit mamaya na pag tapos na yung tatlo.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000749

For the Special Needs Education Program, of course for our students with special needs po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000750

nakapunta po ako sa isang classroom, SNED classroom, na sobrang kulang po sa kagamitan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000751

Tapos, given the situation of the students, kailangan po sana may tatlo o dalawa o tatlong guro sa bawat classroom

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000752

because they need to pay particular attention to the students.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000753

So, kulang na kulang pa po, although meron pong 849 million pesos sa NEP, ito pong special needs,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000754

I would like to put forth a motion to add an additional 75 million pesos towards the Special Needs Education Program.

Finally po, for the Indigenous Peoples Education Program, or IPED, the DEPED has a request po to add and augment

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000757

the funds for IPED. Currently, it has 76 million in the NEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000758

The proposal po, the motion that I would like to put forth is to add 25 million pesos on top of that.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000759

These are for the special education po of our Indigenous Peoples.

Rep. Allan U. Ty

Yes po, of course.

Thank you, Chair.

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-000765

The Kabataan Party List and ACT Teachers Party List have likewise submitted their proposed institutional amendments for consideration by this committee.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000766

May I clarify lang po, Kong Allen, is it all three? Madrasas, SNED, and IPED?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-000767

Yes, I think.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000768

I believe also during the plenary deliberations and the committee deliberations, our colleagues from Akbayan Party List

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000769

and ACT Teachers Party List have been very vocal about additional funding for Madrasas, SNED, and IPED.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000770

So, with that po, I would like to reiterate my motion to add 25 million pesos towards the Indigenous Peoples Education Program.

Second.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000772

asr-000773

There is a motion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000775

There being no objection, the motion is carried.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000776

Finally po, hindi po pala finally, sorry, last two, promise.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000777

Next po, this is also something that was raised by Secretary Sonny Angara during the deliberations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000778

Isa din po ito sa talagang matinding tinalakay sa media at sa social media.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000779

Yun po yung kakulangan, actually kawalan ng pondo para sa academic recovery and accessible learning.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000780

So, this is a very important program that helps with the tutoring of our students po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000781

Especially those students who are having challenges and difficulties in school.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000782

They are provided tutoring program to help them catch up with their school work.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000783

Last year po, we funded this also under the BARSC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000784

I believe we were able to give a substantial amount po for ARAL.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000785

And we were surprised to find out that this year po, zero ang budget ng ARAL sa NEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000786

As in, zero po, walang pondo.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000787

So, kung hindi po natin itong mapupondohan, mawawala po yung tutoring program ng mga kabataan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000788

So, with that, I would like to put forth a motion to the body to allocate 350 million pesos towards the academic recovery and accessible learning or ARAL program.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000794

And finally po, for DepEd, on my side po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000795

I would like to put forth a motion to add an additional 952 million pesos towards the basic education facility program.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000796

For additional classrooms po, to be built.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000797

Although, rest assured po, I know po that we've been discussing that there have been some challenges in terms of the speed by which DepEd is implementing the classrooms.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000798

We will make sure po, on the part of the house, this is something that we've already discussed, that we will do our oversight po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000799

We will exercise our oversight functions.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000800

Um,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000801

To make sure that the build out of classrooms, the implementation of classrooms that were funded from 2025, 2026, and in 2027 are, the implementation is on track and would not be delayed po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000809

Before I open the floor po for other proposals that may, that may, that the BARSC members may want to advocate for under DepEd, I would like to do a recap.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000810

And show the amendments which we have approved under the Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000811

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

pertaining to DepEd,

I would like to, I guess,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000829

I solicit the pleasure of the body

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000830

since we're at the education cluster,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000831

may we now move to CHED?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000832

And would there be anyone po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000833

who would like to start the deliberations on CHED?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000834

Yes, senior deputy speaker.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000835

There's a proposal from CHED

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000836

for a tertiary education subsidy

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000837

including the 4Ps, no?

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000838

The new, ongoing 2026.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000839

And for the second sem year,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000840

school year, 26, 27,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000841

and first semester, 27, 28,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000842

their proposal is 2.102475 billion, Madam Chair.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000843

And I'd like to propose that,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000846

and we adopt their initial proposal, Madam Chair.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000848

This is quite important because

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000849

alam niyo naman,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000850

kung number one yung edukasyon, marami

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000854

especially under UniFAST, no,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000855

the tertiary education subsidy

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000856

and I think last year, this year 2026,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000857

karamihan ng

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000858

na estudyante

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000859

and na beneficiaries

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000860

sa UniFAST

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000861

ay dumaan na sa portal ng 4P's.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000862

So, nadagdagan yata tayo ng

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000863

almost 400,000

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000864

new students from

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000865

coming from the

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000866

4P's list. So, Madam Chair,

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000867

I support and I propose

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000868

to adopt

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000869

the proposal

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000893

So, 0-0-0

to the budget of the Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000935

And then,

as manifested by SDS

Dinand Hernandez,

so, for the tertiary education

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000939

subsidy, an additional 2.1

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000940

billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000941

Aside from that po,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000942

SDS, or the members

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000943

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

Madam Chair,

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000946

natulong doon ang program. Matagal ng

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000947

programa ito ng CHED.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000948

Marami na rin nag-graduate dito.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000949

Marami na rin natulungan. However,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000950

sa NEP

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000951

for 2027, wala pong

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000952

budget. So,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000953

palagay dito yun.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000954

So,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000955

there's a proposal

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000956

from CHED

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000957

to put a

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000962

And I'd like to propose to adopt the proposal of CHED Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000963

May I solicit a motion po, SDS?

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-000964

I move that we adopt the proposal of CHED which is 1,766,390,000 Madam Chair.

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

There is a motion duly seconded. There being no objection, the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000967

Any other po for CHED?

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-000968

Madam Chair, this is not specifically CHED.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-000969

asr-000975

hindi ko lang po ito kabisado,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-000976

but we are submitting it for consideration of the committee, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000977

Thank you very much, Representative Johan Bautista.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000978

Is there a particular amount po that was cited for LEB?

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-000979

For CLEP, Madam Chair, there are other, ano po kasi dito,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-000980

but their priority is the Clinical Legal Education Program or CLEP.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-000981

The requested amount, Madam Chair, is 57 million.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000982

Madam Chair, thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000982-split-2

Yes, Representative Brian Poe.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000982-split-3

Madam Chair, in the submission of Kabataan Partylist, CLEP is the priority.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000983

However, there is also a third item there on Legal Education Access and Development Scholarship.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000984

Since we're already funding scholarships under CHED,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000985

there's a possibility since this is higher education funding,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000986

baka we could source some of the funding for that from there.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000987

But it's 83

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000988

million pesos, I believe.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000989

For consideration lang of the BARSC.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-000990

For consideration.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000991

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000992

With that, we'll please submit the documents to the body for the consideration of the BARSC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000993

Any other comments po, manifestations for CHED?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000994

Or perhaps we can also put it into the discussion, higher education in general.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000995

So maybe SUCs.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000996

Or anything related to higher education po.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000997

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-000998

Yes, Deputy Speaker Janette Garin.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-000999

Madam Chair, we are also in receipt of a request from the UP Center for Education and Development of UP Diliman,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001000

specifically for CAPE, or the Congressional Alliance for Philippine Education.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001001

In the proposed NEP of 2027, they have a zero budget.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001002

However, we are...

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001003

We are very much aware of how EDCOM had already reached a very important role

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001004

in terms of legislation, education, funding, and accountability.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001005

And while the education problems cut across many sectors and committees,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001006

it's often fragmented and vulnerable,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001007

especially when it comes to changes in political leadership and congressional priorities.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001008

Hence, the intention of...

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001009

of CAPE, which will serve as a cross-committee and cross-party platform where shared education reform agenda can be discussed will also translate to evidence and recommendations from EDCOM 2 and other education stakeholders, including oversight initiatives, budget priorities, and sustained policy action.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001010

Ultimately, the case for supporting CAPE rests on a simple principle, and that is education reform requires more than good policies.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001011

It requires a durable coalition capable of carrying those policies from evidence to legislation, from legislation to funding, from funding to implementation, and accountability.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001012

With this, Madam Chair, allow me to put forward a motion

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001013

to

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001014

include under the UP system,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001015

particularly the UP system,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001016

the UP Center for Education and Development of UP Diliman,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001017

an increase in the amount of 70 million

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001018

to cover the program related to EDCOM 2 and CAPE.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001019

So, moved, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001020

There is a motion. Any second?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001021

I second the motion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001022

There is a motion. Any objection?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001023

There being no objection,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001024

it has been duly seconded. The motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001025

70 million pesos for the UP Center for Education and Development

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001026

under the UP system.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001027

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001029

Yes.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001030

Representative Brian.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001031

Yes.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001032

I have a few requests from the UP system, if I may make some proposals, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001033

So, Madam Chair, under program, under the UP system, under the Resilience Institute,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001034

the conduct of research services under Project NOAA, there is a request for 275 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001035

Yes.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001036

There is a request for 275 million pesos increase.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001037

I was hoping that the BARSC would consider it.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001038

So, I move for the consideration of the UP Project NOAA increase of 275 million pesos,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001039

which I think we definitely need considering all the flooding that's been happening.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001040

Before we rule on the motion, I just wanted to manifest.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001041

So, last year, the BARSC and the House, and eventually,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001042

both chambers, the House and the Senate, gave an additional 1 billion pesos for Project NOAA

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001043

in the 2026 budget.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001044

Binigay po natin 'yun para po mas mapaganda po ng Project NOAH 'yung kanilang hazard mapping

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001045

at makatulong po din sila sa pag-vet ng mga proyekto patungkol po sa flood control

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001046

at iba pang mga flood management designs and mechanisms.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001047

So, I believe I had

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001048

a conversation with Professor Mahar Lagmay and President Jijil Jimenez of the UP system,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001049

and they've already received the 1 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001050

The SARO for the 1 billion pesos has already been released to the UP system,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001051

and now, Project NOAA is in the process of ramping up their operation.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001052

So, ang lagi pong sinasabi ngayon ni Professor Mahar,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001053

kahit daw po bahay ng manok, makikita na daw po doon sa satellite mapping ng Project NOAA

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001054

kasi maging 1 by 1 square meter na daw po yung mapping.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001055

And I'm also very happy to report that we are currently working with Project NOAA

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001056

and the UP Resilience Institute, as well as other stakeholders in the scientific community.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001057

We are working together now to vet all of the flood control projects,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001058

all the items under 002 in DPWH, so flood control,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001059

drainage, and the like.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001060

So, we are working with them now to vet all of the projects that are there in the NEP

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001061

to make sure that whichever projects are there approved in the House General Appropriations Bill

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001062

are properly vetted and implementable po, and needed talaga.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001063

So, with this, hopefully with the additional funding, they can sustain their operations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001064

at sana po mas mapaganda pa nila

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001065

'yung nasimulan nila dito po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001066

So, again, there is a motion to allocate 250, ah sorry, 275

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001067

billion—million, sorry, 275 million, very important mistake,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001068

275 million towards Project NOAA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001069

Any second po?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001070

There is a motion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001071

Duly seconded. There being no objection, the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001072

Madam Chair?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001073

Madam Chair, my only other request for the UP system is for their UP Diliman Institute of Mathematics.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001074

There's a request for 15 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001075

I think naman, an investment into mathematics wouldn't hurt in our economy right now.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001076

May I move for the inclusion?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001077

Madam Chair, it's 15, right?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001078

15, 1-5.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001079

1-5, yeah.

Source

Committee member/seconding voice

asr-001080

Second.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001082

There is a motion to add 15, is it 1-5 or 5-0?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001083

If you want to make it 5-0, Madam Chair, I don't think the UP Mathematics Department will complain.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001084

Wait, let's clarify the motion.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001085

It's 15, it's 1-5, it's 1-5.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001086

So, there is a motion to add 15 million pesos to the UP Institute of Mathematics, UP Diliman, right?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001087

Yes, UP Diliman.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001088

UP Diliman Institute of Mathematics.

Source

Committee member/seconding voice

asr-001089

Second.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001090

And then, duly seconded. There being no objection, the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001091

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001093

Quick manifestation on that.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001094

For the record, the Institute of Mathematics since 1998 has been recognized by the Philippine Commission as a center of excellence.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001095

It has a zero budget in the NEP of 2027, hence putting in 15 million might be a small amount,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-001096

but it's actually a big step towards producing more promising researchers in mathematics because indeed they are now leading.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001097

It's actually quite surprising.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001098

Zero siya.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001099

Zero under the NEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001100

Thank you for raising that point.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001101

So, with that, may I ask the body any more manifestations pertaining to higher education, SUCs, CHED, and the like?

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-001102

Madam Chair?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001103

Yes, Representative Stephen James.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-001104

There is a request also coming from the HUCs.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-001105

They're requesting 456 million

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-001106

for the budget of 2027 under the program locally funded projects for various state universities.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-001107

May we consider this and I would like to put this also into motion that we approve or allocate the 465 million for the program locally funded project for various state universities.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001108

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001110

Stephen, may I just clarify?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001111

So, these are different states.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001112

State universities.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001113

It's not just one, right?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001114

It's various state universities.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-001115

Yes, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-001116

It is for all of the state universities.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-001117

There's no specific.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001118

And it adds up to 475 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-001119

Yes, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001120

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001121

Thank you, Kong Stephen.

Source

Committee member/seconding voice

asr-001122

Second, Madam.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001123

There is a motion to add 475 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001124

Sorry.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-001125

456.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001126

Ang layo naman na naririnig ko.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001127

Sorry.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001128

456 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001129

Sorry.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001130

For locally funded projects for various state universities and colleges, it has been duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001131

There being no objection, the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-001132

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001133

Thank you very much po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001134

Anything else po for higher education, CHED or SUCs?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001135

With no other manifestation from the body, I would like to again go back to our Excel sheet to show

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001136

all that we have approved for higher education for CHED as manifested by SDS Dinand, 2.1 billion for tertiary education subsidy, an additional 1.76, 1.77 billion for the Tulong-Dunong Program, 70 million for the UP Center for Education and Development, 275 million for Project NOAA,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001137

15 million for the UPD Institute of Mathematics,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001138

and collectively 456 million pesos towards different locally funded projects in various state universities and colleges.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001139

So for higher education, may we please do a subtotal?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001140

So for higher education, a total of 4.684, sorry, a total of 4.68 billion for higher education on top of the 1.95 billion for the Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001141

And to close out the education cluster po, may we move to TESDA?

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001142

Yes, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001143

Yes.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001144

For TESDA, there's a request from TESDA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001145

Representative Kristine Singson-Meehan.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001146

Yes, thank you.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001147

From Secretary Kiko Benitez, additional for TWSP programs and STEP.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001148

These will serve additional learners.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001149

So the additional funding will expand access to technical vocational education and training.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001150

That will enhance the employability and skills of the target beneficiaries.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001151

Like for the TWSP po, sample courses usually under TWSP are IT courses, electronics, tourism, agriculture, welding, dressmaking, barista, caregiving.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001152

This para ma-employ po sila after taking these courses.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001153

And then for STEP program po, these are short courses.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001154

And ito po yung mga courses like cookery.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001155

baking, electrical, masonry, plumbing, carpentry, driving, crops production, animal production.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001156

So with these courses po, they can get employment too.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001157

their own small business.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001158

And with the STEP program, I understand

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001159

na kasama po yung startup

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001160

toolkits. So,

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001161

I move po, wait, let me check

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001162

the amount.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001163

To consider

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001164

an increase

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001165

for the TWSP

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001166

program, the amount of

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001167

966,650,000.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001168

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001169

There is a

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001170

motion to

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001171

add

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001172

May you please

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001173

reiterate the amount?

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001174

Yes, 966,650,000.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001175

966,650,000

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001176

towards the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001177

TWSP program or the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001178

Training for Work Scholarship program under

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001179

TESDA. Any second po?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001180

It has been truly seconded. There being no

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001181

objection, the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan

asr-001182

And Madam Chair, for the

is thereby added for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001193

Special Training for Employment

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001194

Program or STEP.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001198

manifestations from

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001199

the body pertaining to TESDA?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001200

So we can

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001201

tackle the education cluster

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001202

all together.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001203

There being none,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001204

we'll go back to our Excel sheet po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001205

So for TESDA,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001206

again, 966.7

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001207

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001208

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001209

TWSP and 469.26 million

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001210

for STEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001211

May we get the department total please?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001212

So a total of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001213

1.44

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001214

billion pesos

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001215

additional for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001216

TESDA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001217

Before we move po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001218

to other departments,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001219

any other manifestations po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001220

relating to the education cluster?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001221

With no other

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001222

manifestations from the body,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001223

may we get po a total for the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001224

education cluster? So combination

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001225

of DepEd,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001226

CHED, and

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001227

SUCs and TESDA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001228

So for the record,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001229

given the manifestations

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001230

of the Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001231

the subtotal for the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001232

education cluster is an additional

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001233

8.07

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001234

billion pesos.

Source

Committee member

asr-001235

Wow.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001236

Very good so far.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001237

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001238

We wanted to put it first because

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001239

we want to prioritize the education

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001240

sector po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001241

So again, for the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001242

education cluster,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001243

sorry, let me write that down.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001244

8.072.775.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001245

Okay.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001246

Thank you very much po to the members of the BARSC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001247

So we finished

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001248

our first cluster, which is the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001249

education cluster.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001250

And we have added

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001251

8 billion, 72, tama ba? Sorry, 8.072775

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001254

billion pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001255

towards the education cluster.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001270

So

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001271

with

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001272

that po, we adhere to our commitment.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001273

Again, we have repeatedly said that on the part of the House of Representatives

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001274

that we want to make sure that the education cluster gets the biggest budgetary share in our budget.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001275

And as per the Constitution po, I believe we're at 3.95% in the NEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001276

So that's the goal po, to get as close to the 4% benchmark as possible.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001277

If I may suggest po, given the manifestation of Deputy Speaker Janette Garin earlier,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001278

that we want the budget to be an El Nino-ready budget.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001279

And alam ko po, isa din po ito sa inabangan ng ating mga kababayan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001280

Papaano po natin i-operationalize sa budget yung ating commitment na gawin pong El Nino-ready,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001281

yung ating budget.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001282

So with that, if I may po, recommend to the body for us to move to DA,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001283

to the Department of Agriculture, and the agriculture sector in general.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001284

Yes, thank you very much Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001285

Madam Chair, I could not...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001286

I'd like to recognize...

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001287

Yes, thank you. My apologies Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001288

It's okay po. I'm the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture and Food,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001289

Representative Mark Enverga.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001290

Thank you once again Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001291

And again, I wish to re-emphasize the...

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001292

the looming problem of El Nino,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001293

as well as the rising costs of fuel,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001294

which would impact the agricultural sector as well.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001295

So, Madam Chair, for the record,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001296

I have the copy of the requests of the Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001297

And it is quite lengthy,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001298

but unfortunately we should focus,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001299

I agree with you Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001300

that we should re-focus our attentions in the mitigation projects

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001301

and programs that would help somehow mitigate the impacts of El Nino.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001302

If I may start Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001303

currently the Department of Agriculture already has a fertilizer assistance program.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001304

So, they propose an expanded fertilizer assistance program,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001305

currently with a NEP budget in the year 2027

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001306

of 14,443,499,000.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001307

May I move Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001308

that since this program is very much needed,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001309

so that we keep the planting intentions of our farmers to be there,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001310

and to assure them that there is support from government,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001311

particularly for fertilizer.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001312

May I move Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001313

that I propose the amount of increase of 500 million pesos

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001314

to the expanded fertilizer assistance program of DA.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001315

So, I move Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001316

There is a motion to add...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001317

an additional half a billion pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001318

to the expanded fertilizer assistance.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001319

It has been duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001320

There being no objection, the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001321

I remember this, Chair Mark,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001322

nung nandoon po tayo sa budget deliberation ng DA,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001323

we asked Secretary Kiko Tiu Laurel

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001324

as to which of the items would help them respond to the looming super El Nino.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001325

Ito po yung pinakauna talaga na binanggit nila sa Kiko.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001326

And I believe, even during the uplift,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001327

ito po yung una nila ding pinondohan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001328

kasi ito yung unang nagmamahal

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001329

kapag tumataas po yung presyo ng crudo.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001330

Yung fertilizer po talaga sobrang nagmamahal.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001331

So, thank you, Chair Mark, for manifesting that.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001332

Madam Chair, before we continue...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001333

Representative Brian.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001334

Madam Chair, before we continue,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001335

because the budget for fertilizer is unspecified per crop,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001336

there is a specific crop that I would be remiss in not championing.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001337

I hope that we can align some of this budget

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001338

to support the Ube industry of the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001339

I believe there are requests within the department

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001340

to support the Ube industry.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001341

And I think that sayang naman

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001342

kung maiiwan tayo ulit ng neighbors natin pagdating sa ube.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001343

This is something nationally important to us.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001344

So, if I may suggest and if I may move

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001345

that we realign 100 million of that,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001346

to support specifically Ube farming here in the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001347

May I defer to Chair Mark?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001348

Because I don't want to preempt,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001349

because perhaps I want to give the floor to Chair Mark Iverka.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001350

Perhaps it's part of your list of what you would like to advocate for?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001351

Yes.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001352

Maybe rather than realigning,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001353

I don't know if the body would like to add a separate amount for Ube.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001354

So, Chair Mark, I'd like to defer to you.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001355

Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001356

We are very much welcome to include the Ube export program.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001357

In fact, Madam Chair, it is part of their priorities and request

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001358

to include Ube export,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001359

ano, with the

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001360

in terms of the budget.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001362

Yes.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001363

Yes, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001364

May I continue?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001365

Yes.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001366

So, yes, I would accede to Donable Brian Poe.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001367

Probably, Madam Chair, would it be okay at the proper time

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001368

when we get to the item with the indulgence of Donable Brian Poe?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001369

Sure.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001370

For now, Madam Chair, I'll retract my motion.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001371

But I leave it as a manifestation instead that we take up this,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001372

the funds for Ube here in the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001373

Thank you, Representative Brian Poe.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001374

And with that, Chair Mark, please proceed with other items.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001375

Madam Chair, very short.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001376

Talagang pag-Ube.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001377

Pag-Ube.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001378

Anong color ng Ube?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001379

Yellow.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001380

Yeah.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001381

Of course, Madam Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001382

I will third.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001383

Not second.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001384

I will third, Madam Chair, later at the proper time.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001385

I appreciate that, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001386

Yes.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001387

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001388

Madam Chair, again, at the proper time, I will get to that.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001389

I think the motion would be best.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001390

I'm deliberated upon once we get to the end of the proposals of this representation.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001391

Madam Chair, again, in line of the problem with the El Nino phenomenon,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001392

the super El Nino phenomenon,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001393

and, of course, the looming probable increases in gas prices,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001394

I also propose a program that was not included in the NEP for 2027,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001395

which is the solar pumps for irrigation.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001396

Okay.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001397

If I may clarify, Madam Chair, this is not included under the National Irrigation Administration.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001398

So, this is specific to areas that are not part of the irrigated areas.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001399

So, this would fall under the DABSWM.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001400

And I, once again, it is not included in the NEP 2027.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001401

If I may also move, Madam Chair, that we include 125 million pesos budget for this specific,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001402

for this specific program.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001403

Before I, before I solicit po, I would just like to clarify, Chair Mark,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001404

and perhaps this is better directed to DA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001405

We just want to make sure there's no duplication in functions.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001406

And clarify naman po ni Chair Mark that the serviceable area,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001407

the serviced area of NIA is different from the serviced area of DA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001408

Yun lang po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001409

Kasi baka lang mag-overlap po yung functions sila dalawa.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001410

Because I believe we're also, in the NEP itself, there's already a lot of funding,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001411

for NIA, for EPIP, for the solar irrigation pumps.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001412

So, iba po talaga ito.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001413

Makaiba po itong dalawang programa ng DA at NIA.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001414

Yes, thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001415

I could not say it better.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001416

At least for the record, ma'am, tama po, Madam Chair, yung observation po ninyo.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001417

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001418

Thank you, Chair Mark.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001419

There is a motion from Chairman Mark Enverga to, how much po, Chair?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001420

Sorry, 125 million.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001421

125 million, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001422

For the provision of solar pumps for irrigation under the Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001423

Any second?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001424

It has been truly seconded.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001425

There being no objection, the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001426

Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and to my dear colleagues.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001427

Madam Chair, just to move on also, there are various technologies available also,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001428

particularly for the fishery sector.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001429

We've observed that there is difficulty for isolated areas.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001430

Fishing areas, wherein they are at the mercy of the traders, or if not, they are at risk always of spoilage of their catch, their fish catch.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001431

So, there are new technologies available, which are hybrid solar-powered ice plants.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001432

So, with that, Madam Chair, again, it is not also included in the NEP proposal for 2027.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001433

May I move, Madam Chair, that we include 100?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001434

And 5 million pesos to support the program of the provision of hybrid solar-powered ice plants.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001435

So, move, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001436

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001437

Chair, just to clarify, this is under BFAR, right?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001438

Not the overall DA umbrella?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001439

Yes, Madam Chair, that is correct.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001440

Thank you, po.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001441

Question, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001442

Yes, po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001443

Chairman Josep P.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001444

I'd like to ask about this.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001445

Are these ice plants or cold storage?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001446

Ah, Madam Chair, may I be recognized?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001447

These are ice plants, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001448

So, ice producing equipments?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001449

Yes, Madam Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001450

125 million.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001451

How many units will this be?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001452

Madam Chair, it would vary because some could be desalination using the desalination technology.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001453

Some are air-to-water technology, which are available.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001454

But again, it's subjective.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001455

So, it is subjective to which would be the best for the

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001456

proposed areas for proposals.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001457

No objection, Madam Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001458

I just want to manifest the distribution of this

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001459

should be evenly distributed to the necessary areas

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001460

na kailangan na kailangan talaga nila ito.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001461

Particularly sa mga isla na fishing grounds.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001462

I support this increase, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001463

Chair Mark, again, how many units for this?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001464

The 105 million is equivalent to how many solar-powered ice plants?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001465

Well, Madam Chair, it depends, Ma'am.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001466

Because if DA would deem to use the air-to-water technology,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001467

we were told that it could range from 30 to 35 million.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001468

But if there's a desalination,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001469

option for a certain island, isolated island,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001470

it would be much cheaper.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001471

So it would be difficult, Madam Chair, to answer the question.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001472

Will you leave it up to DA, I guess,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001473

in terms of the implementation?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001474

So I could not give a definitive answer.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001475

But at least this gives them the flexibility

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001476

to use various technologies

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001477

that could produce the ice plant facility.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001478

I think, Chair Mark, if I'm correct,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001479

this is a pilot program, right?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001480

Because I've never...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001481

I haven't encountered this as a program of DA in previous years.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001482

Yes, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001483

In fact, they are already piloting two areas

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001484

for the solar ice plants,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001485

particularly using air-to-water technology.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001486

So these are highly potential opportunities

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001487

for the fishery sector.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001488

For DA, I hope, as Chair Pipito manifested,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001489

you can put one,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001490

isa sa Luzon, isa sa Visayas, isa sa Mindanao.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001491

So there's a pilot for each of the different island groups.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001492

This is their fiscal space in Palawan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001493

As manifested by Chair Pipito.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001494

Remember, Madam Chair,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001495

Palawan is supplying 60% of the cuts to Manila,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001496

Metro Manila.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-001497

It's all from the waters of Palawan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001498

DA, please, I know you're watching, Paul.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001499

Please consider the manifestation of Representative Pipito Alvarez.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001500

There is a...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001501

There is a...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001502

There is a motion put forth by...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001503

to...

Source

Committee member/seconding voice

asr-001504

Second.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001505

to...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001506

Sorry, to...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001507

provide 105 million pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001508

towards the provision of hybrid solar-powered ice plants.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001509

It has been duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001510

There being no objection, the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001511

Sorry po, we asked around it

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001512

because it's a new program po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001513

so we're very interested.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001514

Next po, Chair Mark, anything else from your end po?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001515

Yes, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001516

With your permission,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001517

if there is...

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001518

If there is also a request

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001519

of the implementation of the Agri-Transport and Support Infrastructure Project,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001520

to be more definitive about this program, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001521

this would be the cable car systems,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001522

which would be much cheaper for high-value crops

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001523

being planted in the mountainous areas.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001524

So rather than building costly farm-to-market roads,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001525

this would be trams that would transport goods from one mountain to another.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001526

Which would be much cheaper and more economical

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001527

for our production system in high-value crops.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001528

Parang tram line, Ma'am?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001529

Yes, cable siya na.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001530

Tram line.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001531

Tram line.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001532

So, Chair Mark, sorry, we're very interested po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001533

So does that mean this would help the farmers?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001534

Halimbawa po, the farmers in Benguet,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001535

para po yung mga...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001536

Because earlier this year,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001537

a lot of the farmers in Benguet had a problem po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001538

Ang nangyari po, tinapon na lang po nila yung kanilang mga inane

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001539

dahil hindi na po nila maibaba yung kanilang mga inane.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001540

So dito po ba target na ilagay ng DA ito pong tram system

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001541

dun po ba sa may gawing Benguet?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001542

As advised, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001543

Benguet is only one, a portion only of Benguet,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001544

but there are also various areas,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001545

within the country that would need this.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001546

So definitely these are the mountainous areas

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001547

of high potential of production,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001548

key production areas as well.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001549

Again to DA, sorry, ano po eh, napansin ko pa.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001550

Please consider putting it in areas po like Benguet

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001551

kung saan po pinakamaraming mga magsasakay yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001552

yung mga vegetable farmers po natin

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001553

na tinatapon na lang po yung kanilang mga inane

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001554

kasi hindi po nila maibaba.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001555

So hopefully,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001556

excited po kami na makita ito

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001557

pero sana po pilihin po ng maigin ng DA

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001558

kung saan po ilalagay.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001559

So again, Chair Mark, how much is it po?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001560

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001561

there is no budget for 2027

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001562

but may I move that we include 150 million pesos

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001563

for this particular project.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001564

There is a motion to include or add,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001565

not add, actually provide

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001566

kasi zero po siya sa NEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001567

There is a motion to put 150 million pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001568

towards the creation of an agri-transport system

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001569

like a tram system under the Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001570

Any second po?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001571

It has been truly seconded.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001572

There being no objection, the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001573

Thank you, Madam Chair, and to my dear colleagues.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001574

Madam Chair, if I may continue,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001575

still, we still need better logistics throughout the country.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001576

May I also propose, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001577

that we still increase our farm-to-market road programs.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001578

So with that, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001579

I believe that we have 16 billion already available.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001580

Unfortunately, we see key potential areas

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001581

that still need to be serviced with farm-to-market roads.

Source

Committee member/seconding voice

asr-001582

Second, the motion.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001583

So, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001584

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001585

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001586

so I can propose any amount?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001587

Madam Chair, so with that,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001588

may I propose the amount of

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001589

4,960,224,000

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001590

to be included in the

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001591

provision for additional budget.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001592

Chair Mark, just for the people

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001593

taking note in the Excel file,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001594

may I please reiterate the amount?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001595

Yes, the amount is 4,960,224,000.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001596

There is a motion to add 4.96 billion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001597

towards additional farm-to-market roads.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001598

It has been duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001599

There being no objection,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001600

the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001601

Perhaps I will make the same manifestation

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001602

that I did with regard to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001603

the basic education facilities program.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001604

Congress will exercise our function

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001605

to ensure that the implementation

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001606

of farm-to-market roads

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001607

will not be delayed

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001608

in 2025, 2026, and 2027.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001609

So, we will try

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001610

the DA to make sure

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001611

that the implementation

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001612

of farm-to-market roads will be quick.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001613

Chair Mark, any other messages?

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001614

Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001615

Also, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001616

fish ports still remain to be

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001617

an important program

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001618

that we need to support.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001619

So, I think,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001620

I believe that we need

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001621

to support the construction

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001622

and rehabilitation

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001623

and improvement of fish ports

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001624

throughout the country

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001625

under the DA-PFDA

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001626

to be included,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001627

to be augmented, I mean.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001628

So, currently, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001629

there is a budget in the NEP

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001630

of 2,100,000,000 pesos.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001631

With that, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001632

may I,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001633

move that we augment it

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001634

with another 500,000,000 pesos?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001635

There is a motion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001636

to lodge an additional

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001637

500,000,000 under PFDA

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001638

for the construction

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001639

and rehabilitation

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001640

and improvements of fish ports.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001641

It has been truly seconded.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001642

Madam Chair, before you...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001643

Yes, SDS Dinan.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001644

Approve the motion.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001645

I would like to inquire

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001646

to the proponent

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001647

that,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001648

if the GenSan Fish Port

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001649

is included,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001650

which was damaged

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001651

during the last earthquake.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001652

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001653

I did not get the detail,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001654

but I know

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001655

the Department of Agriculture

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001656

has told me that

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001657

it is part of the,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001658

part of their programming

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001659

that it be a priority

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001660

under the program of the PFDA.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001661

So, with that, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001662

that is what I can only relate to

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001663

the Honorable Senior Deputy Speaker.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001664

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001665

And just make sure

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001666

na kasama yung GenSan.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001667

Rest assured, Madam Chair.

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

I will reiterate this

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001670

with the Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001671

It's funny because

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001672

SDS Dinan,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001673

he is committing to Chair Mark

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001674

when technically DA

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001675

should be the one

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001676

who commits.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001677

But, again, DA,

asr-001678

we know you're tuning in.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001679

I know all the agencies

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

If they can give

their requests,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001683

please take note

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001684

of the manifestation

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001685

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001686

So, again,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001687

there is a pending motion

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001688

to add half a billion pesos

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

towards PFDA for fish ports.

There being no objection,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001692

the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001693

Anything else, Chair Mark?

Parang ang dami natin

asr-001700

if I may go back

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001701

to the high-value crops,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001702

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001703

which Ube is one of them.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001704

Currently,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001705

there are crops

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001706

that were in rice farmers

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001707

that could shift

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001708

during this El Nino phenomenon

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001709

that we'll be facing.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001710

So, we hope, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001711

that we could increase

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001712

the budget

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001713

of the high-value crop sector,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001714

which has a current budget

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001715

of 1,700,000,000

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001716

P308,000

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001717

to augment it

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001718

to an additional

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001719

P100 million, Madam Chair.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001720

Second the motion, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001721

Kong Brian,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001722

yun na yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001723

manifestation mo kanina.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001724

So, just to be clear, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001725

because there's already an existing budget

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001726

of P1.7 billion,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001727

we're just adding another P100 million

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001728

to make it a total of

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001729

P1.8 billion

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001730

for these high-value

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001731

crops. If I could earmark

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001732

a specific

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001733

P100 million for the ube

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001734

industry, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001735

if you would be open to it, since there's already

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001736

P1.7 billion existing for all

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001737

the other crops in general.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001738

Yes, Madam Chair, I would be very much

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001739

amenable to the proposal

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001740

of Don Bol, Brian Poe.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001741

Well, Madam Chair,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001742

may I be recognized?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001743

Of course, Minority Leader

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001744

Marciano Libano.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001745

I would like to support

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001746

the recommendation of the Honorable Poe.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001747

Next month, we really need

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001748

this industry,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001749

the production

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001750

and the

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001751

exportation of

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001752

ube.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001753

And for that matter,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001754

I think Region 8

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001755

will be very much qualified

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001761

for this,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001762

inasmuch as we have

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001763

the so-called

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001764

tinampay variety,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001765

which is

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001766

not yellow but violet.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001767

This is high quality

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001768

and this is in demand.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001769

And this won't be affected

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001770

by typhoons or super typhoons.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001771

So I support this

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-001772

proposal, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001773

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001774

Thank you, Brian.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001775

Thank you, Chair Mark.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001776

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001777

under the Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001778

Any second?

Source

Committee member/seconding voice

asr-001779

Second.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001780

No objection. The motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001781

Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and to all our fellow BARSC members.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001782

Maraming salamat sa support.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001783

That would be all, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001784

Thank you very much, Chair Mark.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001785

Andami pong in-entertained on the part of Chair Mark,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001786

pero we all recognize the fact that it's very important for us

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001787

to augment the budget of the Department of Agriculture

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001788

given the looming Super El Nino po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001789

So, kaya po naman po nakasuporta po kami lahat.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001790

Thank you po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001791

Before we move to another agency, I would like to open the floor.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001792

Any other manifestations po pertaining to the Department of Agriculture?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001793

There being no other manifestations,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001794

manifestations from the body?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001795

Oh!

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001796

O nga pala.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001797

O nga pala.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001798

Para ako pa yung nakalimot.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001799

O po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001800

Thank you, Chair Mark.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001801

This is a conversation that Chair Mark and I have been having for a while.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001802

So, thank you po for reminding me.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001803

Yung isa po natin na gustong gawin din

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001804

para po siguraduhin na maging Super El Nino ready

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001805

yung budget po natin para sa taong 2027

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001806

ay malagyan po ng pondo yung presidential assistance

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001807

to farmers and fisher folk.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001808

I was very surprised po when I saw the NEP

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001809

na zero po yung budget ng presidential assistance

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001810

to farmers and fisher folk or PAF.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001811

Kasi alam naman po natin,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001812

nung nagkaroon po, nung nagsimula po yung Middle East crisis

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001813

nito po mga nakaraang buwan,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001814

yun po talaga yung naging unang inilabas

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001815

para po tumugon sa pangangailangan na ating mga magsasaka

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001816

dahil nga po ang laki nung tinaas nung presyo ng crudo

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001817

kaya po naapektuhan natin.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001818

Nakaapektuhan din po yung presyo ng fertilizers

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001819

at iba pang mga kemikal at iba pang mga farm inputs.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001820

So I was really surprised when I saw that

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001821

PAF had zero budget in the NEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001822

So last year po, tayo po bilang BARSC din

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001823

and of course upon the...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001824

directive of Speaker

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001825

Bojie Dy. Talaga pong inilaban po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001826

to ni Speaker last year.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001827

Nakapaglagay po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001828

tayo ng 10 billion pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001829

para sa Presidential Assistance to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001830

Farmers and Fisher Folk. So

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001831

again, on behalf

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001832

of Speaker Bojie Dy,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001833

I would like to advocate

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001834

to the members of the BARSC

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001835

to please

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001836

allow us to put

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001837

an additional, once again

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001838

put 10 billion pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001839

for PAF.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001840

Zero po siya ngayon sa NEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001841

So our hope po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001842

is we could put 10 billion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001843

pesos towards PAF.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001844

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001844-split-2

Yes po, SDS Din.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001845

Hindi pa naman tapos

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001846

yung crisis eh. So

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001847

malaking tulong ito nung na-distribute

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001848

ito sa ating mga farmers

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001849

and fisher folks.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001850

So I think we have to continue

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001851

to support them kasi

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001852

hindi pa naman lifted yung

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001853

crisis. At saka itong program

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001854

na tinulak ni Speaker nung nakaraan

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001855

talagang maraming

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001856

nakinabang. So I

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001857

asking for our

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001858

BARSC members to support

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-001859

this initiative with the Speaker.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001860

To be exact,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001861

yung 10 billion pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001862

po na naibigay natin

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001863

sa taong 2026

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001864

na budget ay nakatulong

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001865

po sa roughly

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001866

4.3 million

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001867

farmers sa

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001868

buong bansa. Ganun po kadami

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001869

yung natulungan nung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001870

10 billion na nailagay po natin

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001871

sa 2026 GAA. So

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001872

we're hoping po for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001873

the 2027 budget

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001874

sa ano naman po ako, nagdadasal pa rin

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001875

ako na hindi po talaga matuloy yung Super El Nino

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001876

pero at least po meron po tayong

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001877

nakaabang na pondo

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001878

para po makatulong po tayo agad sa ating

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001879

mga magsasaka. And with that po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001880

I would like to formally put forth

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001881

a motion to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001882

put 10 billion pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001883

towards the presidential assistance to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001884

farmer and fisher folk under the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001885

budget of the Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001886

Second, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001887

Thank you very much po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001888

There is a motion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001889

duly seconded. There being no objection,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001890

the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001890-split-2

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001891

Yes, Representative Brian Poe.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001892

Just a manifestation.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001893

From personal experience, kasi

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001894

during the crisis, nag-conduct kami

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001895

ng consultations with farmers and

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001896

fisher folk in Pangasinan. And there are

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001897

two major complaints or there are

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001898

two major concerns where

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001899

yung fuel subsidies for the fisher

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001900

folk because it was

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001901

becoming so inefficient. And

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001902

second was yung concerns

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001903

sila sa fertilizer.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001904

This budget directly

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001905

addresses both those concerns.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001906

So I hope that our amendments

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001907

here in BARSC are maintained all

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001908

throughout the budget season, even

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001909

leading into BICAM. I know our

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001910

friends in the Senate are also

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-001911

watching.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001912

Thank you, Representative Brian Poe.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001913

Any other manifestations po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001914

for the Department of Agriculture?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001915

Yes.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001915-split-2

Very short.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001916

Hopefully, Madam Chair, we could also

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001917

put on

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001918

maybe a provision that it would

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001919

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

for farmers,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001921

especially workers, to access

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001922

PAF.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001923

For example, Madam Chair, we actually

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001924

have farmers in the province

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001925

who actually

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001926

farms high-valued crops,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001927

for around only about

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001928

500 to

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001929

1,000 square meters.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001930

Tapos minsan ang requirement

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001931

is an hectare or two.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001932

So they cannot avail.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001933

Others, Madam Chair,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001934

there's this

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001935

also one example

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001936

na farm worker,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001937

Kawawa. Tapos

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001938

he works,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001939

there's a landlord,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001940

he works and tills the farm,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001941

and

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001942

when assistance for PAF

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001943

are given, the landlord

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001944

gets the PAF,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001945

not the farm worker. So maybe

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001946

later, Madam Chair,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001947

we will be able to

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001948

put in a provision that

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001949

these farm workers will also

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001950

be given opportunity

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-001951

to accept and receive PAF,

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001953-split-2

Thank you very much,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001954

DS Bambi. I agree po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001955

yun po yung feedback na

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001956

nadinig natin. Kasi po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001957

ngayon, yung PAF, pag dinignan nyo po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001958

yung guidelines ng DA

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001959

patungkol sa PAF, nakalimit lang po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001960

sa RSBSA members.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001961

So yun po yung nangyayari.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001962

I agree po, ang paminsan daw po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001963

ang rinireklamo,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001964

nakapangalan nga po yung lupa doon sa isang tao,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001965

pero hindi na talaga siya yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001966

umaani doon. Pero yun po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001967

yung nabibigyan na assistance, yung mismong

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001968

nag-aalaga po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001969

nung sakahan, hindi nakakatanggap.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001970

So, we'll explore that po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001971

because I think we

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001972

need to talk to DA

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001973

about it. Kasi,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001974

Chair Mark, please correct me if I'm wrong,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001975

but I looked at the guidelines

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001976

of PAF, and it really limits

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001977

the beneficiaries to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001978

RSBSA members,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001979

and in the case of the previous distribution po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001980

they limited it to two hectares

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001981

and below. So,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001982

we can talk po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001983

Chair Mark is here also, we can facilitate

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001984

discussions po with the Department

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001985

of Agriculture to hopefully revise,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001986

their guidelines, para po mas madami po tayong

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001987

matulungan at mag-qualify po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-001988

sa PAF. Thank you.

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

Madam Chair,

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001989

anyway, in support of the Honorable

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001990

Deputy Speaker Emano, and of

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001991

course, the Honorable Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001992

may also just put on record

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001993

to also include

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001994

members of the FishR

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001995

registry system. Unfortunately,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001996

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001997

only those

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001998

under the BoatR registry

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-001999

system were included.

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-002000

So, kawawa naman, Madam Chair, yung

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-002001

mas marami na

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-002002

mas nangangailangan, walang bangka,

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-002003

umuupa lang, sila pa yung

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-002004

nawawalan ng suporta, sa listahan

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-002005

sa pagbibigyan ng suporta. So, just to

Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-002006

manifest that, Madam Chair. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002007

Thank you, Chair Mark. I agree. Ngayon po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002008

nakalimit sa RSBSA and BoatR.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002009

So, may I

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002010

direct the Committee Secretariat

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002011

to please note that down as a

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002012

special provision that we may want to put

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002013

under PAF. We just

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002014

need to coordinate with DA because they would have

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002015

to revise their guidelines also.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002016

Thank you po.

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002016-split-2

Madam Chair.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002017

Yes, Vice Chair. And then, Representative

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002018

or Vice Chair Arnie Fuentebella.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002019

Delay in the implementation.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002020

I think may certain

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002021

areas may nagkaroon ng delay,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002022

especially on the FISH-R folks.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002023

Kasi from DA to

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002024

BFAR. So, doon medyo

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002025

downloading to BFAR,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002026

BFAR ang magbibigay

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002027

sa FISH-R folks.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002028

Doon yata nagkaroon ng delay na

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002029

until now, yung iba, hindi pa naka-

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002030

tanggap. So, I think that's

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002031

we have to consider and remind

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002032

DA na with these funds,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002033

dapat pagbinigay,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-002034

dapat mabilis. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002035

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002036

Thank you, Vice Chair. Arnie Fuentebella.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002037

Madam Chair, I think they have to fix the data.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002038

Kasi karamihan po,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002039

mali-mali yung data nila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002040

And ang target talaga last year,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002041

ni Speaker Bojie was

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002042

10,000 per farmer.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002043

But since lumawak

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002044

po yung binigyan,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002045

is naging 2,325,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002046

may butal pa. So, doon po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002047

nahihirapan. So, kung maayos

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002048

lang po sana yung data ng DA,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002049

mas mabilis po natin,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002050

pwedeng ipamigay yung PAF.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002051

Thank you, Vice Chair Arnie.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002052

Actually, that's a really

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002053

good point po, which I want to raise to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002054

DA. Please, please update your

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002055

RSBSA. Please

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002056

make sure wala pong duplicates. I think

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002057

ang nangyari din po, there were

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002058

farmers that were registered as both

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002059

rice farmers and

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002060

vegetable farmers. Tapos, they did not

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002061

know how to account for that

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002062

in the previous distribution. So,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002063

DA, please, ano po, pakiayos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002064

po yung data natin.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002065

Thank you, thank you, Vice Chair Arnie.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002066

asr-002067

May suspense pa. Sana yung nad nyo na

Please move to the right, please.

A total of

asr-002104

16.44 billion pesos

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002105

additional for the

Let me repeat

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

that po. An additional

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002117

16 billion pesos for the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002118

Department of Agriculture to make sure

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002119

that the budget for the year 2027

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002120

is El Niño-ready.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002121

D.S., may I now recognize

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002122

Deputy Speaker Janette Garin?

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002123

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, this is

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002124

still in relation to agriculture,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002125

but this is with

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002126

regards to agrarian reform

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002127

communities. Kasi sa

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002128

dami ng problema

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002129

sa mahal na gasolina,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002130

dumadagdag dyan kapag

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002131

rough road. So if the agrarian

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002132

reform communities are not provided with

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002133

farm-to-market roads

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002134

that will allow lower cost,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002135

for the transport of their products,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002136

then it defeats the purpose

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002137

of organizing

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002138

them, helping them, and providing

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002139

them with the land titles that they can

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002140

actually deal. With this, Madam Chair,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002141

allow me to put forward a proposal

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002142

to increase the

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002143

proposed budget of

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002144

the Department of Agrarian Reform under

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002145

Climate Resilience Farm Productivity

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002146

Support. Most of these are actually

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002147

farm-to-market roads leading

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002148

from our agrarian reform.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002149

communities in the amount of

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002150

P331 million.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-002151

So move, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002152

There is a motion from Deputy Speaker

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002153

to add P331 million

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002154

towards the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002155

Department of Agrarian Reform.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002156

Any second?

Committee member/seconding voice

asr-002157

Second.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002158

There being no objection,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002159

the motion is carried.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

So again, 1.31 billion pesos for NIS, 147 million for CIS.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

So it's DA, DAR, and NIA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

So that's it for the education, education, agriculture cluster.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

included in the proposed text of House Bill No. 10858.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002322

Please proceed.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002323

As follows, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002324

For an increase of 59,906,000 for the land management governance, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002325

Okay, so...

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002326

I move.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002327

So there's a motion.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002327-split-2

That we increase the land management governance by 59,906,000.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002328

Sorry, there's a pending motion. Any second?

Source

Committee member/seconding voice

asr-002329

I second.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002330

Duly seconded. Are there any objection?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002331

Hearing none, motion is approved. Please proceed.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002332

The second item, Mr. Chair, is of course, there are about 40,000 land patents not claimed by...

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002333

by the owners, by virtue of poverty, there is a government fee of 2,500 pesos per title.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002334

We propose, Mr. Chair, to include in this budget 100 million so that we can release this 40,000 patents.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002335

I so move, Mr. Chair.

Source

Okay. There's a motion. Duly seconded. Any objections? Hearing none, motion is approved. Please proceed.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002340

And the last, Mr. Chair. There are a few structures in Region 10, but due to the fiscal restriction, instead of a big lump sum, we just want to add 50 million just to start the program in Region 10, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002341

I so move, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002342

Okay. There's a motion. Duly seconded. Are there any objections? Hearing none, motion is approved. Please proceed.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002343

That's a total, Mr. Chair, for

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002344

209,906,000.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-002345

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002346

Is that it for DNR, Honorable Alvarez?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002347

Okay. So, can we show the

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

So, yan po.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002350

Ang total is

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002351

209

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002352

million

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002353

906,000.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002354

Okay.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002355

So, next department, may we recognize the Honorable Yamsuan?

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002356

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002357

I will be proposing some inclusions for the Presidential Communications Office because I believe, Mr. Chair, that information is not just knowledge. It is a foundation of accountability.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002358

And an informed public is better equipped to ask questions, challenge inconsistencies, and demand responsible action if we are well informed.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002359

So, there are three agencies that will be, actually four agencies that will ask for additional funding for their budgets.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002360

The first is PCO Proper for the establishment and to operationalize the Bagong Pilipinas Studios.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002361

Their initial proposal is 25 million.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002362

And the proposed amount of increase is 25 million also.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002363

Okay. So, there is a motion?

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002364

There's a motion that we increase the budget of the PCO Proper by 25 million.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002365

Okay. Julie Seconded, any objections?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002366

Hearing none, motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002367

Please proceed.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002368

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002369

I also move for the proposed amount of increase in the budget.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002370

This is for the subsidy and the requirement of the lawful salaries and compensation of IBC 13 employees based on the GCG-approved organizational structure and staffing pattern under the Compensation and Position Classification System, or CPCS 2.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002371

The amount proposed, Mr. Chair, which I will move, is 35,985,750.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002372

Okay. So, there's a motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002373

Julie Seconded, any objections?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002374

Hearing none, motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002375

The next item, thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002376

The next item is the proposal of PCO-PIA, the Philippine Information Agency.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002377

They are proposing a 12 million increase for rental of temporary offices.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002378

and operational space during the

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002379

retrofitting and renovation of the PIA building.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002381

During the budget deliberations, Mr. Chair, which I was present, the PIA specified that the building structure is occupied by so many BATs already.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002382

So, I think that they need to rent first so that we can get it fixed so that to provide a good working environment for our employees of the PIA.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002383

So, I move to increase the budget.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002384

by 12 million.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002385

So there is a motion to increase the budget

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002386

by 12 billion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002387

Any second?

Source

Committee member/seconding voice

asr-002387-split-2

Second.

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002524

Honorable Fuentebella.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002525

Yeah. Regarding ERC, I think we have to give the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002526

full amount since

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002527

ERC is policing a trillion

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002528

peso industry

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

and plus it is a

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002530

functioning agency.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002531

And in fact, one of the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002532

accomplishments ng ERC po,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002533

they had the refund of

asr-002534

71.3 billion.

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002542

And

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002543

69.95 billion

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002544

Meralco fund. Yan po yung awat.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002545

Okay. Yes, the total.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002546

Um, yeah, that's why I'm

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002547

explaining, Madam Chair, if ever

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002548

we can give the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002549

full amount.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002550

Yung 225,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002551

227 na kailangan po nila

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002552

for consultancy, if we do not

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002553

give it. Yung reset po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002554

natin is yung sa ngayon pa lang

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002555

is 2026.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002556

And we still have a backlog

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002557

of 2012.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002559

So, ngayon po ni-reset po yan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002560

Kaya nga, yung sa investment natin

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002561

ng 200, if we may,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002562

if we may only,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002563

kung kaya po natin ibigay yun,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002564

yung 227

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002565

na yun, 71.3

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002566

billion yung refund na binalik

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002567

po sa tao.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002568

And kailangan po talaga nilang

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002569

additional na mga

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002570

consultants and employees

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002571

because ang reset pa lang

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002572

na ginagawa po is Meralco.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002573

Wala pang private.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002574

Then, reset pa po ng mga

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002575

electric cooperatives.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002576

Then, reset pa po yan, even

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002577

the transmission, even the Genco.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002578

So, para po maging

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002579

transparent and accountable

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002580

ang Genco transmission

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002581

de-use. Para po sa mga

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002582

consumers din natin na umaangal na mataas

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002583

ang ating kuryente, I think

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002584

we need to support.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002585

Kung ano po talaga yung kaya

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002586

nila. Especially now,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002587

we are talking about the systems loss.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002588

And it's highly

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002589

technical. Dalawa po yan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002590

And in fact, pag-announce na po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002591

ni Presidente about systems loss,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002592

the non-technical issue,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002593

in-address na po ng ERC with BIR.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002594

So, hindi na po kailangan

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002595

mag-vat ang non-technical,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002596

yung pilferage, yung mga nakaw.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002597

So, we are appealing

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002598

if we can give the full amount.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002599

But if we cannot, because of

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002600

fiscal space, at least we can give

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002601

something, Madam Chair.

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002607

my motion, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002608

It's just an appeal

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002609

for the consultants,

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002610

for the backlog resets,

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002611

which was still

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002612

in 2012,

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002613

then to 2026. We need more

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002614

consultants for this, to

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002615

update specially and

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002616

to monitor all the DUs, the CAPEX

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002617

and the GENCOs of

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002618

the power industry, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002619

It's just like, it's just an appeal,

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002620

but the amount there is

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002621

25 million each.

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002622

No? That's a total of

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002623

75 that we can

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002624

set aside if there are still funds

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002625

available to have this amount,

Source

Rep. Jurdin Jesus "JJ" M. Romualdo

asr-002626

Mr. Chairman. That's why I

asr-002642

Yeah, it's just an appeal, Mr. Chair, if we can

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002708

And just for the record, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002709

may I appeal to give the entire amount just for the record.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002710

Duly noted, Honorable Fuentebella.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002711

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002712

So, is that the total for ERC already?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002713

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002714

May we flash that on the screen for everyone to see?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002715

So, yun po, yung tatlong 25 million.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002716

So, total is 75 million.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002717

Yung sa PCO pala, can we post that as well,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002718

yung earlier agency for everyone to see?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002719

As well?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002720

Tama ba? Okay.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002721

So, very clear.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002722

May we proceed with the next agency,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002723

Honorable Fuentebella, you're recognized.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002724

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002725

I move to appropriate 10 million

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002726

for the LG NAPOLCOM

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002727

for strengthening

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002728

independent police oversight

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002729

through confidential and intelligence funds.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002730

Mr. Chair, just for the record,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002731

NAPOLCOM had 4,000 cases,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002732

25 years backlog,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002733

and now zero na po sila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002734

So, this is a very small amount.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002735

This is a functioning agency

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002736

on where we discipline and police,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002737

our policemen.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002738

So, with this 10 million,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002739

I think, Mr. Chair, it's very small amount.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002747

requested by the NAPOLCOM,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002748

so I move for the appropriation of 10 million.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002749

there's a motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002750

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002751

Any objections?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002752

Hearing none, motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002753

Please proceed.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002754

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002755

I move for the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002756

approval of the establishment

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002757

of the PNP Counterterrorism Center.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002760

It is not only a counterterrorism center,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002761

counter-terrorism center,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002762

but it will be

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002763

the data

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002764

bank,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002765

even the operation center.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002766

So, one building,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002767

nandoon na po lahat, operations,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002768

data, cyber crime,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002769

cyber security,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002770

etc. So,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002771

actually, the proposal is

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002772

500 million

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002773

and

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002774

hope we can give

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002775

200.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002776

But, if the fiscal

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002777

space is small,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002778

I move to appropriate

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002779

100 million.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002780

Mr. Chair?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002781

I know how valuable

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002782

this project is. I just want

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002783

to ask if this project

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002784

is shovel-ready, para

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002785

hindi na po ma-delay once we

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002786

appropriate the funding.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002787

Shovel-ready po siya, ibig sabihin, ready to...

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002788

Yes, actually, I have

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002789

everything. That's why I'm moving for the 200

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002790

because yung IT

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002791

pa lang po will cost 150.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002792

So, we have the design, we have

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002793

the structure, we have everything.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002794

So, bago po sila nag-propose,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002795

is kinumpleto po nila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002796

So, even

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002797

lahat po, per floor up to the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002798

6th floor, it's a

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002799

complete design and I'm willing to give

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002800

the data

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002801

to the BARSC

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002802

members or even in the plenary.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002803

Okay? Na kompleto. That's why

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002804

I'm really asking

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002805

for

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002806

200. But,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002807

kung 100 lang po talaga yung kaya,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002808

so, dun muna po siguro tayo

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002809

because, just to

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002810

share, Mr. Chair, yung

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002811

tatlo pong incident na may patay

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002812

ng mga bata, actually, hindi nyo natatanong

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002813

is 40 plus

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002814

po yung na-save ng ating

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002815

kapulisan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002816

Okay?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002817

Hindi po ito sinasabi because,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002818

for operations

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002819

purposes.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002820

And even po yung mga

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002821

nagsasabi po sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002822

So, as of now,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002823

DICT, minan na po yung

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002824

Discord and one more

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002825

platform, I forgot.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002826

Kung ano po yun?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002827

Reddit, yeah. Discord and Reddit.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002828

So, this should

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002829

be a composite team.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002830

May DSWD, PNP,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002831

sama dyan ng DILG

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002832

and DepEd.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002833

Kung kompleto po tayo,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002834

even lalo yung IT natin,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002835

tapos ibibigay lang natin 100,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002836

eh 150 pa lang

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002837

sa IT pa lang.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002838

So, that's my

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002839

plea to the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002840

BARSC. If we can give

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002841

200, but if not, at least

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002842

100 to appropriate.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002843

Yeah. At least, maumpisahan mo na

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002844

yung structure.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002845

Just for the record.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002846

Noted.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002847

There is a motion for 100 million.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002848

I second.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002849

I second the motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002850

Okay. Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002851

Any objections? Hearing none,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002852

motion is approved. Please proceed.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002853

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002854

We have a newly created

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002855

Negros Island region

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002856

na wala pa pong

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002857

regional office.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002858

So, actually, nakalagay po

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002859

ang proposal is

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002860

505

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002861

because the 505

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002862

is composition of the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002863

regional office and the

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002864

regional mobile

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002865

force battalion

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002866

with two different places.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002867

Okay.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002868

Yung regional office po,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002869

napaka-importante since it's a

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002870

new region.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002871

So, since dalawa po siya

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002872

na nakalagay po dito,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002873

establishment of regional headquarters

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002874

building and other facilities

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002875

for PRO Negros

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002876

Negros Island region.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002877

So, I'm proposing, if I may,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002878

150,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002879

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002880

Just imagine,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002881

yung isa po kasi, yung regional mobile force

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002882

batalyon, hotspot

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002883

insurgency po yun.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002884

Ang nakalagay lang po is 20

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002885

million. But,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002886

kung hindi po kaya ng

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002887

fiscal space,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002888

willing po tayo na,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002889

to appropriate at least 100 million

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002890

for the establishment of

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002891

two camps

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002892

in the new region.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002893

Okay. Anyway, initial funding pa lang naman ito.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002894

So, there's a motion

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002895

for 100 million.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002896

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002897

Any objections?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002898

Hearing none, motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002899

Please proceed.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002900

Mr. Chair, regarding the DILG-BFP,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002901

I move

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002902

to appropriate 235 million

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002903

for the procurement

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002904

of firetrucks.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002905

Any second?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002906

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002907

Any objections?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Yes, thank you, Chair.

Per line item.

Okay.

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Total for DILG per item, 478.8 million.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002928

So we'll move to the next agency.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002929

What is the pleasure of the body?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002930

Yes, Kong Alan.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002931

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002932

Please proceed.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002933

I would just want to make a manifestation

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002934

on the submission by the Internal Affairs Service

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002935

of its proposed amendments to the special provisions

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002936

pertaining to Internal Affairs Service

Yes, Internal Affairs Service.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002939

Okay, duly noted.

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002940

For amendments on the special provisions.

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002941

Yes.

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-002942

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002943

Thank you, Honorable Kong Alan.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002944

May I add also, just for the record,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002945

there's a proposed special provision for NAPOLCOM

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002946

since they have properties na hindi po napupunta sa kanila yung rental.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002947

So sana lang po mapunta lang sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002948

So just for the record, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002949

So we will be waiting for that special provision.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002950

Actually, I've submitted it already

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002951

to the Secretariat

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002961

for the proposed special provision.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002962

Just for the record.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002963

If I may po, SPC, just a quick question po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002964

Is it retained?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002965

Pag-retained po ng income?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002966

Yes.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-002967

Use of income?

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002968

Yes.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002969

They have properties sa BGC.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002970

Pwede po nilang gamitin yung rental na yan

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002971

for operating expenses, capital outlay.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002972

Since iiwan na po sila ng DILG

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002973

and if you visit the NAPOLCOM office, ma'am,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002974

nakakaawa po talaga sila.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002975

Okay, so, yung properties lang nila,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002976

yun lang gusto sana nilang makuha.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002977

Yung mga rentals noon,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002978

sana po magamit nila sa capital outlay nila

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-002979

and MOOE.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002980

Okay, thank you.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002981

So, next agency,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002982

what is the pleasure of the body?

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-002983

Mr. Chair, DOJ muna.

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-002985

DOJ?

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-002987

O, sige.

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-002988

Sige.

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-002989

O, sige, it's okay.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-002992

So, next, we would like to recognize Kong Onchuan.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-002993

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-002994

With the constant,

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-002995

very unstable fuel prices

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-002996

being encountered

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-002997

and with the Middle East crisis

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-002998

and the Ukraine-Russia war,

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-002999

this representation is

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003000

does agree with

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003001

Secretary Giovanni Lopez

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003002

to

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003003

give

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003004

the proposal of

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003005

500 million pesos

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003006

for the service contracting program

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003008

Which has a zero fund for the NEP 2027.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003009

So, wala pong budget, zero.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003010

And we feel,

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003011

even Akbayan Representative Perci Cendaña

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003012

reiterated that the service contracting program

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003013

is of valuable help

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003014

to the constituents.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003015

So, I move,

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003016

that the SCP program be given a budget of 500 million pesos.

Source

Committee member/seconding voice

asr-003017

I second.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003018

I so move.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003019

Yes, before we act on the motion,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003020

just a little information for our BARSC members.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003021

Nung 2026 BICAM,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003022

zero din po ito.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003023

But our contingent proposed

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003024

to put or to allocate 1 billion for this,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003025

not knowing na magkakaroon ng energy crisis

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003026

or war in Iran.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003027

So, when the war broke out,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003028

may pinagugutan kagad ang DOTR,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003029

ang executive,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003030

para itulong sa ating mga

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003031

drivers and operators.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003032

So,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003033

we're surprised to know na zero pa rin

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003034

ngayong 2027 proposed budget.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003035

So, thus,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003036

the sponsor is

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003037

moving to allocate

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003038

500 million

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003039

for this project.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003040

Very valuable program.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003041

So, there's a motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003042

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003043

Hearing no objections,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003044

motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003045

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003046

We move on to the fuel subsidy

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003047

to transport sector.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003048

And again, affected by the rising fuel prices.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003049

Again,

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003050

zero budget was allocated

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003051

for 2027.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003052

So,

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003053

this representation agrees with

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003054

Secretary Lopez, that,

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003055

one billion pesos

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003056

should be allocated

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003057

for the year,

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003058

fiscal year 2027.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003059

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003060

SPC, if I may,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003061

very quickly. Actually,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003062

we were also very, very surprised

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003063

when we found out that

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003064

the fuel subsidy

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003065

had zero budget in the NEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003066

Ang nangyari po kasi,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003067

I think this is the justification,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003068

Kong Edwin, let me know,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003069

because in previous years po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003070

for year 2024

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003071

and 2025,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003072

untouched po yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003073

fuel transport subsidy

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003074

in the previous years.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003075

Because the trigger,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003076

which I believe is $70?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003077

$80 per barrel

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003078

was not met in previous years.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003079

Based on the Dubai price index.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003080

Opo, it was several

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003081

billion that was there

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003082

for two years. Tapos dahil po dito sa

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003083

Middle East crisis, biglang na-wipe out

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003084

yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003085

several billions

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003086

that was there

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003087

in previous years.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003088

Nagulat po tayong lahat

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003089

na zero siya sa NEP

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003090

given that the previous allocation

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003091

was totally wiped out

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003092

because of the Middle East crisis.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003093

Again po, I fully, fully

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003094

support the manifestation

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003095

of Representative

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003096

Vice Chair Ongchuan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003097

to add 1 billion pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003098

for the fuel transport subsidy.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003099

Thank you Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003100

So there is a pending motion

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003101

to allocate 1 billion

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003102

for fuel subsidy.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003103

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003104

Any objections?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003105

Hearing none, motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003106

Please proceed.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003107

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003108

Next on the line is

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003109

the NCR busway project

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003110

which again, zero allocation

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003111

for the fiscal

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003112

year 2027.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003113

This representation

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003114

agrees with

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003115

Secretary Lopez

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003116

that it should be funded

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003117

with a proposed budget

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003118

of 75 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003119

So there is a pending motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003120

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003121

Any objections?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003122

Hearing none,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003123

motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003124

Please proceed.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003125

Yes, the minority

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003132

Thank you for sponsoring

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003137

Uh, my...

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003138

Lastly, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003139

Secretary Lopez

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003140

and the DOTR

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003141

is proposing

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003142

a locally funded project.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003143

Amounting to

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003144

774 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003145

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003146

There's a motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003147

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003148

Hearing no objections,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003149

motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003150

Thank you, my dear BARSC colleagues.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003151

Mr. Chair, Madam Chair, thank you.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003152

So that's it for DOTR.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003153

May we flash the items

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003154

on the screen for everyone

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003155

to see.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003156

And the total is

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003157

additional

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003158

2 billion 349

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003159

million pesos

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003160

for the various

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003161

significant programs

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003162

and projects of the DOTR.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003163

So thank you very much, the honorable

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003164

Ongchuan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003165

SVC, if I may

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003166

comment very quickly.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003167

We would just like to highlight

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003168

and emphasize to our

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003169

kababayans that these are

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003170

projects that had

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003171

zero allocation in the NEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003172

So kung hindi po natin nalagyan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003173

ngayon dito po sa

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003174

BARSC, as in wala po talagang

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003175

pondo for service contracting,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003176

walang pondo for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003177

the EDSA busway, walang pondo

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003178

para sa fuel transport subsidy.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003179

So the BARSC recognizes

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003180

the importance of these programs.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003181

Kaya sana po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003182

thank you, Mayno,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003183

for the manifestation because

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003184

our colleagues in the minority

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003185

were also very, very vocal about this

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003186

over the course of the plenary

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003187

deliberations. And most especially

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003188

asr-003210

to clarify also that though

zero po siya sa NEP,

may existing requests naman talaga

Rep. Brian Poe

Rep. Brian Poe

Just for transparency purposes.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003215

For the purpose of transparency,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003216

I'm trying to pull up the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003217

request letter from

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003218

Secretary Banoy, but the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003219

request is actually much bigger.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003220

Actually, nandito pala.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003221

DOTR, sorry po.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003223

The amounts are actually bigger.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003224

I'll pull up the request

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003225

naman po from Secretary Banoy.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003226

Madam Chair, I just want to make sure

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003227

kasi zero siya sa NEP.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003228

Madam Chair, if you'll permit.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003229

Go ahead, please. Kasi mas malaki yung amount.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003230

For the service contracting program,

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003231

the request of Secretary Lopez

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003232

is 5 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003233

For the fuel subsidy,

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003234

again, it's 5 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Edwin Ongchuan

asr-003235

And for the NCR

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003241

together with Sec. Banoy

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003242

because as much as we would like to give

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003243

bigger

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003244

for these programs, given the importance,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003245

wala po kasi tayong fiscal space.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003246

So, as much as we

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003247

can, naglagay

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003248

po tayo. But these are

asr-003249

the top priorities, actually

sworn into office

However, Mr. Chairman,

asr-003275

he has only a budget

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003276

for

10 billion

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003292

the local government units.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003293

But I understand,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003294

Mr. Chairman,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003295

Madam Chair

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003296

of the Committee on Appropriations,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003297

that we have limited

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003298

fiscal space and I was

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003299

informed that we have only

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003300

100 million available.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003301

But

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003302

if there will be

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003303

fiscal space in the

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003304

future because we have

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003305

until bicam that we can

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003306

find

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003307

funds for this.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003308

But for the meantime, I would like to

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003309

move

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003310

that we appropriate

maintenance and operating

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003322

I will not be just specifying,

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003323

it for the program, but to

Hearing none,

motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003372

Please proceed.

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003373

And this is

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003374

regarding the victim's

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003375

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003380

para sa mga

asr-003386

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003387

So I move to appropriate additional increase of 7.8 million for the Victims' Compensation Program under the DOJ.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003388

Okay, there's a motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

At para naman po sa cybercrime program ng Office of the Secretary,

para po sa ICT software, mayroon po sila sa NEP na 32,458,000

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003395

and they also requested for additional 18,250,000.

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003406

At para naman po sa OSAEC-NCC program, sa National Coordination Center against anti-online sexual abuse,

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003407

they requested for additional budget of 10 million.

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003408

So in this regard, I move to appropriate additional 10 million.

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003409

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003409-split-3

And finally, for the additional confidential fund under the Office of the Secretary, originally they have already the NEP, but they are still requesting for an additional 30 million for the

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003410

confidential fund under the Office of the Secretary.

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Okay, so there's a motion to appropriate additional 30 million.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003413

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003414

Hearing no objections, motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV

asr-003415

That would be all, and I guess the NBI is also requesting, and DS Garin.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003416

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003417

Deputy Speaker Garin is recognized.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003418

Thank you.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003419

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003420

Well, the National Bureau of Investigation, the office under DOJ,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003421

actually they have been tasked with a lot of work recently,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003422

not to mention the fact that there are a lot of challenges in terms of the impact of the negative side of social media,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003423

and that we have been seeing the influence of social media in terms of scams,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003424

in terms of terrorism, illegal gambling, and other illegal activities.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003425

They have actually a proposal to increase their operation and manpower to more than a billion,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003426

considering that their NEP for 2027 is only 175,400,000.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003427

In fact,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003428

the budget of the National Bureau of Investigation has had a decrease of approximately 30% compared to the GAA of 2026.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003429

[unclear] ko lang naalala, ha, na hindi kasi ako naka...

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003430

So with this, Mr. Chair, I move that the National Bureau of Investigation under the Department of Justice,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003431

particularly on the Confidential Fund,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003432

a proposed

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003433

amount of 50 million be augmented to the proposed budget of the NBI.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003434

So moved, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003435

Confidential fund. Oo.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003436

So there's a motion.

Source

Committee member/seconding voice

asr-003437

Second.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003438

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003439

Are there any objections?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003440

Hearing none, motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003441

Okay.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003442

Yeah.

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003454

The Sandigan Bayan actually has a NEP of 1.9 billion.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003455

However, considering the voluminous cases and tasks that they have been,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003456

they are currently facing and will still be facing because of the government's thrust on accountability

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003457

and the serious thrust of the national government in terms of accountability, especially on

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003458

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003459

taxpayers' money,

their proposed

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003461

NEP of 1.9 billion

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003462

will not be sufficient enough,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003463

especially in terms of

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003464

the benefits of their personnel

asr-003465

and general management

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Can we flash that on the screen

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003537

So,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003567

Yeah, Mr. Chair, while—

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003567-split-2

Yes, Deputy Speaker Garin.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003568

Yeah, with the upcoming, surely, and scientifically determined onset of a super-lanino, water-lanino, super-lanino.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003569

Hangover, super-lanino, water will be a very expensive commodity, though it is not really what they need.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003570

As a symbol of our government giving focus on water, which will be a difficult commodity in the coming super-lanino,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003571

may I propose that under the Local Water Utilities Administration,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003572

whose current NEP is only 29.55 million, masyadong mababa,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003573

we increase it, an additional 100 million pesos be augmented as an additional budget to their current NEP of 29.55.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003574

So move, Mr. Chair.

Source

Committee member/seconding voice

asr-003575

Second.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003576

Thank you. So there is a motion to augment the budget of LWUA to the amount of 100 million.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-003577

Clarification.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003578

Yes, Honorable Alvarez.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-003579

I would like to ask where the 100 million will be used.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003580

DS Garin, can you reply?

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003581

It's actually a request among the areas who had a problem.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003582

I don't have the exact list with me, Your Honor, but it was actually vetted and is with the Secretariat, but fully vetted.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-003583

The 100 million, Mr. Chair, will never be enough.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-003584

That is a minuscule amount if you talk about the incoming El Nino, not El Nido.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-003585

So, manifestation, not a motion, but after the BARSC has deliberated,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-003586

and if there is any fiscal space, we should add a little bit more.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003587

Yeah, we agree, Your Honor.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003588

Actually, I believe this is just the first BARSC.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003589

We might have another BARSC, and any amount that will be augmented to the local water utilities administration is very welcome.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-003590

One hundred million is just a pittance, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-003591

Maybe, um...

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-003592

So, after all this consideration, maybe if there is something to spare, let's have some more. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003593

The manifestation of the Honorable Alvarez is noted.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003594

So, there's a pending motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003595

Duly seconded, are there any objection?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003596

Hearing none, motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003597

So, may we flash that on the screen?

we might be

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003709

depriving at least

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003710

4,000 or 4 million

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003711

Filipinos to avail

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003712

of this opportunity.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003713

And the fact

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003714

that we are looking forward

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003715

to the

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003716

forecast of an extreme

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003717

El Nino, God forbids,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003718

then this may be

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003719

a very good source again

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003720

for this

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003721

relief

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003722

offers that the

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003723

national government may provide.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003724

So the

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003725

agency is looking

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003726

forward to increase this to

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003727

76 billion.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003728

That is a 43 billion increase.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003729

But with the limited

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003730

fiscal space,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003731

I think a much lower amount

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003732

may be doable

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003733

and perhaps

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003734

may be still significant

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003735

to provide the necessary

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003736

support

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003737

to the vulnerable

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003738

individuals and families

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003739

that may suffer

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003740

in crisis situation.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003741

So the proposal

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003742

is to increase it

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003743

to about

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003744

25 billion

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003745

806

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003746

million

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003747

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003748

So move

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003749

that the

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003750

AICS

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003751

be increased to that level.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003752

So there is

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003753

a motion

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003754

before we act on it.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003755

May we hear from our

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003756

minority leader?

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003757

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003758

Mr. Chair, I agree with

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003759

the motion of the Honorable

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003760

Nava.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003761

As much as

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003762

we would need these

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003763

appropriations

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003764

especially this

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003765

2027

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003766

because of the fuel crisis

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003767

and the incoming

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003768

super El Nino phenomenon.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003769

And this is

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003770

the fastest way to

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003771

help our people.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003772

And the amount of

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003773

29

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003774

billion 806 million

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003775

will only total to

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003776

59 billion

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003777

which is still

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003778

short of 4.8 billion

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003779

from our appropriations

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003780

of 6.3 billion

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003781

for 2026.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003782

And if there's still

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003783

a fiscal space

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003784

if we can still

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003785

increase this

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003786

hopefully

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003787

let's do it.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003788

But for the meantime

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003789

let us feel comfortable

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003790

with the motion

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003791

of the Honorable Nava.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003792

So I second

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003793

the motion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003796

His motion, Mr. Chair.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-003797

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003798

Thank you, Minority Leader.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003799

So there is a motion

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003800

and duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003801

Any objections?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003802

Hearing none,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003803

motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003804

Please proceed.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003805

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003806

Also in the list

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003807

is to fund

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003808

the DSWD

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003809

flagship and emerging

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003810

programs.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003811

There are three.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003812

These are

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003813

Protect Teen,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003814

which focus

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003815

on adolescent mothers

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003816

and their families,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003817

of course,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003818

for children

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003819

with disabilities

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003820

and their caregivers.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003821

And the project SAFE

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003822

which also addresses

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003823

online

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003824

sexual abuse victims.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003825

For survivors.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003826

And the request

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003827

may not be catered

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003828

by the available

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003829

fiscal space.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003830

But I think

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003831

meeting the

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003832

2026

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003833

GAA level

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003834

would suffice.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003835

So that

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003836

Protect Teen

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003837

will be

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003838

increased

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003839

to 25 million.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003865

Project Aruga

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003866

to also

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003867

25 million,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003868

the same level

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003869

that we

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003870

provided

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003871

for the

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003872

2026 GAA

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003873

and Project

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003874

SAFE

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003875

for

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003876

13,800,000.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003877

Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003878

so move.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003879

They're

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003880

part of

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003881

the

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003882

one item.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003883

which is

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003884

under support to operation.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003885

We just separate.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003886

So I move to

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003887

increase

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003888

the

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003889

allocation for

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003890

Protect Teen

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003891

by 25 million.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003892

So there is a motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003893

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003894

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

SVC, sorry.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003919

Quick lang po, if I may manifest.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003920

These three programs

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003921

in particular po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003922

Protect Teen, Project

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003923

Aruga, and Project SAFE,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003924

were all strongly manifested

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003925

by members of the minority

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003926

during the,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003927

plenary deliberations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003928

More specifically po, I remember

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003929

Representative Sarah Elago

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003930

advocated very strongly

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003931

also during the plenary deliberations

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003932

for the additional funding

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003933

for Protect Teen, Project

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003934

Aruga, and Project SAFE. So,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003935

again, assurance po to our

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003936

colleagues that their voices

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003938

the inputs into consideration during the

asr-003939

BARSC. Thank you, SVC.

Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to our members

in the minority.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003942

Headed by, of course, Mayno

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003944

Honorable Nava, please proceed.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003945

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003946

Another item that is requested

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003947

to be increased is the

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003948

Quick Response

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003949

Fund. Not

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003950

necessarily increasing the fund, but

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003951

the ceiling allocation

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003952

as what we did last

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003953

year for the General Appropriations

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003954

Act 2026.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003955

From 1.25

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003956

to 3 million. So,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003957

an additional 1.75

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003958

billion ceiling

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003959

for the total of

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003960

3 billion ceiling is

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003961

hereby requested.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003962

So, move, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003963

Okay. So, there's

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003964

a motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003965

Are there any seconds?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003966

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003967

Any objections?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003968

Hearing none, motion

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003969

is approved.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003970

Um, SVC, if I may po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003971

uh, just to manifest po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003972

this is not actually an additional

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003973

allocation, um, for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003974

we're not actually

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003975

reducing, sorry,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003976

we're not actually adding,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003977

we're just simply reallocating

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003978

from the NDRRMF

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003979

to the Quick Response Fund.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003980

So, this was requested

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003981

by Secretary Rex Gatchalian

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003982

because the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003983

replenishment takes so long

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003984

because right now, if it's just at

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003985

the 1.25

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003986

billion peso level,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-003987

when they hit 50%,

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

Bukidnon is

asr-004032

actually what we

asr-004033

call the central part of

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004034

Mindanao.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004035

So every destination

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004036

from north, south, east, west

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004037

is maximum

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004038

only six hours from Bukidnon.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004039

So it would be

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004040

more, it would be,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004041

it will just be fitting,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004042

Mr. Chair,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004043

that we put the distribution center

in the province of Bukidnon.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004048

SVC, if I may...

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004049

Yes, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004050

I just want to appeal

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004051

to DBM

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004052

and to DSWD

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004053

because last year we put 500 million

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004054

pesos towards

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004055

the build-out of the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004056

first, supposedly, the first

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004057

packing

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004058

disaster resource and support

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004059

center, supposedly in

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004060

the Caraga.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004061

But

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004062

basically,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004063

based on our last

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004064

update po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004065

it hasn't been released at all.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004066

So, zero,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004067

zero release

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004068

out of the 500 million pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004069

that was allocated

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004070

for which should have been

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004071

the first disaster

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004072

support site in Mindanao.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004073

So, we would like to appeal

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004074

because again,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004075

now,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004076

the manifestation of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004077

Vice Chair Rahman,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004078

NAVA, and Deputy Speaker,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004079

Bambi Emano,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004080

is to appeal for a second site

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004081

in Mindanao.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004082

But I am just worried po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004083

because the first site has not been built at all.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004084

So, I would like to appeal to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004085

DBM

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004086

and because last year po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004087

excited na excited po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004088

yung ating mga BARSC members

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004089

from Mindanao

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004090

because Luzon has a lot,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004091

Visayas has a lot,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004092

but Mindanao has no disaster support.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004093

And repacking center.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004094

So, sayang naman po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004095

because we put 500 million

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004096

and we put 500 million last year

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004097

with the intention na

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004098

makompleto po yun

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004099

in one year.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004100

Hindi lang po yung infrastructure

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004101

but even the machines,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004102

the packing machines inside.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004103

And Representative Joboy Aquino is here po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004104

You were one of the strong advocates

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004105

for that last year.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004106

So, yun lang po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004107

Nag-worry lang po ako

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004108

because wala pa yung,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004109

release nung 500 million from last year.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004110

So, hopefully it doesn't happen

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004111

with the second site

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004112

that we are proposing to fund.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004113

Thank you po, SVC.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004114

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004115

We remember that project clearly from last year.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004116

Yes, Minority Leader.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004117

I support these appropriations, Madam Chair.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004118

But I would like the BARSC to take notice

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004119

that Samar Island has no

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004120

disaster resource and support center

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004121

in the whole Samar Island.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004122

And we are the, I think,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004123

the typhoon capital of the Philippines.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004124

So, I think we'll be needing this also.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004125

But not now, of course.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004126

In 2027, I think DSWD

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004127

shall take serious notice

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004128

in allocating funds for the different regions.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004129

Well, it is really needed.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004130

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004131

That is noted, Honorable Libanan.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004132

In addition, the only repackaging site

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004133

in the Visayas is in Cebu, I think.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004134

And there's no such thing as a big warehousing facility

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004135

in the two other regions of the Visayas

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004136

in support of the distribution in cases of calamity.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004137

So, I think the idea of putting, you know,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004138

putting some sort of support facility

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004139

as storage of these relief goods

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004140

is necessary for each region.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004141

If I may expound, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004142

Sorry, I yield to the Minority Leader, Mr. Chair.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004143

Yes, Madam Chair, because it was our personal experience,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004144

even my personal experience,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004145

that when Super Typhoon Yolanda hit Region 8,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004146

particularly Guiuan, which was the landfall, and Tacloban,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004147

our relief operations came from Legazpi City and Manila.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004148

So, our response time was,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004149

it took us too long to reach our people.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004150

So, we have to reposition this, and this is a laudable project.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004151

But, as much as possible, we can,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004152

we shall place these resource and support centers

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004153

in almost all our regions.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004154

And islands, if possible.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004155

If I may, Mr. Chair, just to add.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004156

Thank you, Minority Leader.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004157

D.S. Emano.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004158

Yeah.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004159

Mr. Chair, the idea is for Mindanao to have its own disaster center.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004160

What usually, we too had our own share of calamities, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004161

And this is what happened.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004162

Our relief goods came from Visayas, from Cebu.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004163

So, they fly it through C-130.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004164

The problem is C-130 can only accommodate 6,000 packs.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004165

So, they tried vessel, granting that it was way after the calamity

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004166

when weather was fine.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004167

But the challenge was the boat can only carry 60,000 food packs.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004168

We need a minimum of 3 million food packs in stock

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004169

if the big one comes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004170

That's why we need not only the processing,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004171

but also the distribution center, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004172

That is very clear, D.S. Emano.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004173

So, I believe you have a pending motion.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004174

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004175

For that matter, proposed 100 million will be allocated

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004176

for the purpose of establishing that project, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004177

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004178

So, there's a motion and duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004179

Any objections? Hearing none, motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004180

Please proceed.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004181

Another proposal from the DSWD is to increase the appropriations

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004182

or allocation for the sustainable livelihood program, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004183

If we remember it right, this is one program that is also being called

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004184

by the majority to be increased, considering this would provide

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004185

a more stable income source for our families who graduated from 4Ps, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004186

So, a proposal of 870,500,000 is being proposed

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004187

for the increase of SLP, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004188

So, move.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004189

Okay.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004190

So, there's a motion to increase 870,500,000 for the SLP of the DSWD.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004191

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004192

I second the motion.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004193

I would like to manifest that this is a very nice program for government.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004194

It actually helps small entrepreneurs in the districts and they provide a lot of opportunities

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004195

for our kababayans, especially those who don't have access to bank loans and funding from other sources.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004196

So, with government at the helm of providing such opportunities for our kababayans,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004197

I think we should institutionalize later on the sustainable livelihood program of government

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004198

so that meron ng proteksyon yung ating mga kababayan pagdating sa oportunidad.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004199

And with that, Mr. Chair, I second the motion of the Honorable Rahman Nava

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004200

in increasing the budget of the sustainable livelihood program of the DSWD.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004201

Thank you, Congressman Yamsuan.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004202

Yes, Honorable Bautista.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004203

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004204

I also just wanted to manifest my strong support for the increase in the budget of the SLP under the DSWD

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004205

as well as the motion or the manifestation of Representative Yamsuan

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004206

as regards the institutionalization of the SLP.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004207

In fact, just for the record, it was already passed in the Committee on Social Services

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004208

and has now moved to the Committee on Appropriations

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004209

and maybe we can take up after the budget season, Mr. Chair and Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004210

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004211

Thank you, Honorable Bautista.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004212

So, there was a motion and it was duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004213

Any objections? Hearing none, motion is approved.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004214

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004216-split-2

Please proceed.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004216-split-3

There's another one that doesn't have any allocation.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004217

Any allocation at all for the NEP 2027.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

So, this is a new special committee.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004220

I think this had existed also last year.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004221

Unfortunately, there was no line budgetary item that was created for this.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004222

And so,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004223

to carry out the

asr-004224

programs

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004225

that the Committee had envisioned,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004226

they need to have the proper budgetary allocation

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004227

for this,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004228

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004229

So,

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004230

a 20 million

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004231

asr-004232

Special Committee of LGBTQ+.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

So, move,

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004234

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004235

So,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004236

thank you.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004237

There's a motion to increase the budget of the DSWD Special Committee of LGBTQA+.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004238

So, additional 20 million.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004239

There's a motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004240

Second.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004241

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004242

Mr. Chair, I also second the motion to provide funding for this because I also received,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004243

I also read the request for this.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004244

Just to add to what was mentioned by Representative Nava,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004245

this committee was created under Executive Order No. 51 Series of 2023 by President Marcos,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004246

creating this special committee.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004247

And it's the first national level government office in Southeast Asia dedicated to advancing LGBTQIA plus rights.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004248

So, we manifest and also join our support in the increase or providing the appropriation for this committee.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004249

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004250

Thank you, Honorable Bautista.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004251

So, there's a motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004252

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004253

Any objections?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004254

Hearing none,

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004255

motion is approved.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Mr. Chair.

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004257

Mr. Chair,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004258

before we proceed.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004259

Yes, Minority Leader.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004260

Quick manifestation, Mr. Chair.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004261

Sorry for the interruption.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004262

Mr. Chair,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004263

in behalf of the minority,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004264

we'd like to express our appreciation to the BARSC that these items were included.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004265

Because these were raised by the minority during our delivery.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004266

So, we have a number of considerations.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004267

Protect Teen, Project Aruga, Project SAFE, Sustainable Livelihood Program,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004268

and the DSWD Special Committee of LGBTQIA+.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004269

So, in behalf of the minority, we appreciate this gesture and these appropriations.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004270

And this will inspire us to study more and interpellate in the plenary.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004271

But short but crisp because we know you are listening to us.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004272

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004273

Thank you, Mr. Sponsor.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004274

Maraming salamat, Minority Leader Libanan.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004275

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004276

Yes, please proceed.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004277

There are four other items which I'll just manifest.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004278

This would be eventually subject to any fiscal space if there will be any later.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004279

But nevertheless, just a manifestation.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004280

Go ahead.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004281

I'll just.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004282

I'll just read the items that is also here in the request.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004283

So, also included is the 20 million additional allocation for KALAHI-CIDSS.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004284

The 1.4 billion additional allocation for Project LAWA at BINHI.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004285

and the 53.7 million additional allocation for the National Authority for Child Care.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004286

This would cover for additional or to maintain the social work positions in the regional level

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004287

considering of the growing volume of adoptions, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004288

The same way, I'd like also to include one request which is additional social pension for our senior citizens

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004289

to cover the remaining 550,000 within the bracket of 70 years old and above.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004290

So if we can provide that eventually, we can cover all senior citizens.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004291

70 and above qualified for social pension.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004292

That's all, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004293

That would be subject, of course, to the available fiscal space.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004294

Yes, that is correct.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004295

And your manifestation is duly noted.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004296

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004297

Okay.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004298

So if there are no more items in DSWD, may we flash?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004299

Everything on the screen?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004300

Sorry, the realignment for QRF, please.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004301

The 1.75.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004302

Although, in fairness, it doesn't have an amount because it's a realignment, but can you at least put it?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004303

1.75.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004304

Open, close parenthesis,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004305

1.75 billion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004306

Don't put an amount.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004307

Open, close parenthesis, 1.75.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004308

1.75.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004309

Okay.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004310

So everyone can see all the augmentations that were done per item in the DSWD.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004311

And the total is 26,880,300,000.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004312

Okay.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004313

Okay.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004314

, so thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004315

Now, I will give back the floor to the Honorable Chair of the Appropriations.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004316

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004317

Pagod na talaga tayong lahat.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004318

Thank you, po, SVC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004319

SVC will be sponsoring

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004320

po, um, the SP as the—

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004328

Sorry, as the budget sponsor for DOH, SVC would like to advocate for some programs under the Department of Health.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004329

So, SVC?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004330

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004331

We are in receipt of several letters, Madam Chair, from the DOH regarding the requests and appeals for various programs and projects under DOH.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004332

But as we all understand, limited lang talaga yung ating fiscal space.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004333

So, we focused on the most important programs and projects of the Department of Health.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004334

Having said that, I would like to begin with the MAIFIP program, the Medical Assistance to Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Patients.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004335

The current...

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004336

level of MAIFIP in the 2027 NEP is just 24,235,078,000.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004337

And that is much, much lower than the 2026 GAA.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004338

So, ito po, Madam Chair, as we all know, ito po yung tinutulong natin, especially...

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004339

dun sa mga pasyente na may kakulangan sa pambayad ng hospital bill at professional fee.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004340

At nakakatulong din po ito sa mga government hospitals kasi mas nasusustain yung zero-balanced billing.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004341

And of course, may MOA rin po ito sa mga private hospitals para yung overflow ng ating mga kababayan at napupunta sa mga private hospital ay natutulungan pa rin po natin.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004342

And eventually, the goal of the Secretary of DOH...

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004343

and the CEO of PhilHealth is talagang i-merge na po ito, pagsamahin na para ma-institutionalize na po at mas malaki ang maging or mas mababa ang maging out-of-pocket ng ating mga kababayan every time sila po in a hospital.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004344

So, having said that, I would like to propose an additional...

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004345

24,965,776,000 to the MAIFIP program of the DOH.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004346

So, move, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004347

There is a motion to increase the funding for DOH MAIFIP program.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004348

SVC, may I request you to repeat the amount, please? Thank you po.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004349

Yes, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004350

It is 24,965,776,000.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004351

And that is, to be clear po, that brings it back to the 2026 GAA level.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004352

Yes, and it is about... the total would be around 49,203,854,000, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004353

Thank you very much, SVC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004354

There is a motion that has been duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004355

Any objection?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004356

There being none, the motion is carried.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004357

Madam Chair, just a manifestation.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004358

Yes, po.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004359

Madam Chair, if in...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004360

Deputy Speaker Emano?

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004361

In the future, if we'll be able to find more funds, if ever,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004362

I think we should add more to the MAIFIP program

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004363

because there's this...

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004364

I think it's a bill or an action from the DOH

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004365

that might be able to...

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004366

to compel doctors to accept already PF under MAIFIP.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004367

So if we will have the same amount,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004368

yeah, if it would be the same amount,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004369

so the 54 billion mentioned earlier,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004370

kulang na naman yun.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004371

So kung meron lang, just a manifestation, Madam Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-004372

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004373

Thank you, po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004374

SVC, I'll yield to you on that

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004375

because we've been trying to refine that special provision

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004376

since last year.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004377

But the special provision is there, po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004378

wherein we provide...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004379

We allow, supposedly, within...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004380

We're authorizing, rather, in the GAA

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004381

that up to 100% of the PF should be covered by MAIFIP

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004382

but there is a gap in the actual implementation.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004383

So I'll yield to SBC

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004384

because that's one of the things that we've been

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004385

trying to work out since last year, po.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004386

Yes, thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004387

And maganda po yung plano ni Secretary Mercado

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004388

at ni CEO Beverly tungkol dito,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004389

they will engage the hospitals and the medical societies

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004390

para magkakaroon ng sort of an opt-in program

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004391

pagdating dito

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004392

and this will be some of the conditions.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004393

Nang sa ganon, kapag meron ng pasyenteng na confined

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004394

kahit sa mga private hospital

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004395

and they have the opt-in program,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004396

makakasama na po

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004397

because they pre-agreed

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004398

before signing the

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004399

MOA

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004400

to include not only the hospital bill

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004401

but also the professional fee.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004402

So maganda po yung plano

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004403

and hopefully we go to that.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004404

That's why your manifestation is very important.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004405

Kung may fiscal space,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004406

sana madagdagan pa natin.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004407

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004408

Thank you, Honorable Emano.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004409

SVC?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004410

Any more?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004411

Yeah.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004412

For medical assistance

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004413

for the indigent and financial incapacity...

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004414

Financially incapable patients.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004415

Yan naman.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004416

At the proper time, Mr. Chair,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004417

will you be amenable

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004418

for an additional special provision?

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004419

Because it's quite difficult

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004420

to limit it to the indigent

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004421

where in fact we don't really have

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004422

a concrete definition of an indigent.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004423

Anyway, the protocol is there.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004424

Maybe we can...

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004425

We can just...

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004426

Anyway, in the implementation of the program,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004427

it says basic private ward

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004428

as the need arises.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004429

Wala yung mga suite room.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004430

Will it be possible

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004431

to bring it back

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004432

to the original program

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004433

of medical assistance program

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004434

para less ang documentary requirements?

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004435

And anyway,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004436

for the implementation,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004437

I just don't have the...

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004438

I actually submitted a letter

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004439

that proposes

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004440

it applies to indigent patients

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004441

financially incapable

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004442

in...

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004443

in...

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004444

in...

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004445

financially incapacitated patients.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004446

And the third one is patients

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004447

whose out-of-pocket expenditure

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004448

is more than 60%.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004449

Mr. Chair?

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004450

Actually, it's being implemented.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004451

Pero yung...

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004452

It's already being implemented.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004453

It's just that

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004454

we're insisting on indigent in paper

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004455

but in reality,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004456

wala eh.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004457

Kasi like,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004458

if you have a cancer patient

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004459

or dialysis patient,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004460

nagiging indigent talaga.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004461

Nagiging...

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004462

So, it's basically,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004463

the MAIFIP will apply

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004464

to indigent patients,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004465

financially incapacitated patients,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004466

and patients whose out-of-pocket expenditure

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004467

is at least 60%.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004468

That will encompass.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004469

Kasi ando dun pa rin naman yung

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004470

hindi siya maabuso

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004471

na private room,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004472

I mean suite room.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004473

Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004474

I remember,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004475

during the incumbency of

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004476

[unclear] Secretary before,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004477

that we applied

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004478

that medical assistance program

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004479

that would also include

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004480

patients that were admitted

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004481

under the regular private room.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004482

Only the regular,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004483

I think, first level private room.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004484

Particularly those who are advised

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004485

to have or to be placed in

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004486

or confined in a private room.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004487

Like the immunocompromised patients,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004488

highly infectious, like that.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004489

Sometimes you have a patient,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004490

let's say,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004491

ayaw naman niya,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004492

they don't want to be admitted

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004493

in a private room,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004494

but because they have active tuberculosis,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004495

they cannot be admitted in the wards.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004496

So, when that happens,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004497

they don't qualify for

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004498

MAIP anymore for MAIFIP.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004499

Because the original name is really

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004500

Medical Assistance Program.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004501

And it actually applies to,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004502

to all patients admitted

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004503

in government hospitals

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004504

and those in private hospitals

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004505

with basic accommodation.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004506

If you can be flexible

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004507

that we accommodate that

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004508

in the special provisions.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004509

Actually, ang maganda doon,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004510

less documentation.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004511

Because the inclusion of the word

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004512

indigent pave way to a lot of documents

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004513

to prove na indigent yung pasyente.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004514

Pero,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004515

in reality, hindi nangyayari.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004516

Nahirapan lang yung pasyente.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004517

Yes, we agree po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004518

So, if there's a proposed wording po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004519

from the Honorable Garin

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004520

with regard to the special provision,

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004521

I submitted a proposal.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004522

I just don't have the copy now.

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004523

I'll send it immediately after

Source

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin

asr-004524

when I go home.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004525

Madam Chair?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004526

Yes po, Representative Brian Yamsuan.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004527

Yes, just in support of what

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004528

Deputy Speaker Garin has been telling us,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004529

not all na pasyente,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004530

kahit yung mga middle-income families,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004531

talagang kinakailangan din

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004532

ng medical assistance minsan.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004533

Kahit na kumikita na sila ng tama.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004534

Ang problema,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004535

talagang pag malaki masyado

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004536

ang bill ng pasyente,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004537

hihingi rin sila ng tulong sa atin.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004538

Kahit nga yung mga

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004539

pamilya na talagang mahayos na yung trabaho,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004540

kumikita na ng mga 50, 100,000 a month.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004541

Pero, panagkasakit yan,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004542

haabutin na yung

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004543

mga 500,000, 1 million,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004544

2 million na mga bill,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004545

kakailangan din pa rin talagang nila

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004546

yung tulong sa atin.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004547

At pagdating nga sa documentation,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004548

nahihirapan, lalo pag hindi sila

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004549

considered indigent

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004550

dahil middle-income family nga sila.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004551

So, pag naayos natin

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004552

special provision na magluluwag dun,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004553

kahit paano, malaking hinga yan

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004554

sa mga kababayan natin.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004555

Especially in the middle-income sector.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004556

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-004557

Yes, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004558

Yes, Representative Fuentebella.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-004559

Yes, mas maganda rin yung

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-004560

mga taxpayers natin,

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-004561

yung alagaan natin.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-004562

Hindi lang puro dole-out lang tayo

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-004563

para mabalik naman natin

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-004564

sa mga taxpayers natin.

Source

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella

asr-004565

What is due, especially on health program?

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004566

Siguro, second ko

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004567

si Kong Brian,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004568

Madam Chair,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004569

na even a middle-income family,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004570

pagka na-hospital yan

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004571

ng more than one week,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004572

or two weeks,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004573

ubus na savings niyan.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004574

So, ang talagang pupuntahan niyan,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004575

yung MAIFIP.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004576

Alam natin yan sa probinsya.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004577

Wala nang pili.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004578

Like ako, wala akong regional hospital.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004579

So, karamihan dyan na nagtatrabaho sa gobyerno, even in private companies.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004580

Pagkat tumagal yan sa ospital, hindi na kaya nila.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004581

Ubus na savings sila. So, kailangan na nilang tulong.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-004582

Yan, mga middle income, tinutulungan na rin natin, hindi lang indigent.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-004583

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004584

Yes, Representative Brian.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-004585

Madam Chair, we also have to consider kasi yung considered as near poor,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-004586

hindi pa sila poor, pero they're one medical emergency away

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-004587

from dropping into the poverty line, below the poverty line.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-004588

Kaya, importante yung special provision natin.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-004589

And as a public servant, yung pinakamasakit para sa akin is when we have constituents who ask for help,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-004590

but at the end of the day, they actually don't qualify.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-004591

Kasi masyadong maipit tayo sa mga requirements, lalo na dito sa indigency.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-004592

If I open my social media right now, sigurado ako meron isa doon na nag-iingi ng tulong

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-004593

that won't be able to qualify, either because of the hospital or because they're not considered indigent.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-004594

Madam Chair, I'm aligned with all of the members here at the BARSC.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-004595

We should really work on the wording para this special provision passes here in the House.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004596

If again, for all of our BARSC members,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004597

if you have inputs on how to craft this special provision,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004598

how to refine it as compared to what's there in the 2026 GAA,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004599

we would be very happy to put it together on the part of APRO.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004600

Minority Leader Libanan.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004601

I second the motion on this MAIFIP and also go with the majority comments

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004602

on possible inserting a special provision.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004603

So that this can cover a lot of patients.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004604

Napaka-importante po nitong MAIFIP natin.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004605

Pero Madam Chair, yung appropriations natin for 2026 amounted to 56—51.6 billion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004606

Ngayon po, sa NEP natin ng 2027, 24 billion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004607

Pag dinagdagan po natin ito ng 24.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004608

24.9 billion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004609

Ang total is 49 billion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004610

Short pa rin tayo ng 10, mga 10—

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004611

2.6.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004612

2.6, yeah.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004613

2.6 billion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004614

Sana po ay madagdagan po natin ito.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004615

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004616

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004617

Any more manifestations before I rule on the...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004618

the motion?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004619

Again, SVC, may request you to please reiterate the motion.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004620

Yes, thank you Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004621

And we will certainly be looking forward to that special provision.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004622

Para mas maraming maka-access ng ating MAIFIP.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004623

So having said that, I would like to reiterate my motion

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004624

to allocate an additional 24 billion,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004625

965 million,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004626

776

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004627

thousand

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004628

to the MAIFIP program of the DOH.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004629

So move, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004630

There is a motion. Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004631

There being no objection, the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004632

So with the additional amount,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004633

I'd like to correct myself earlier,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004634

this will not put it back to the 2026 GA-A level yet.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004635

It will put it back to the 2026 H-GAB level.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004636

So yun po yung binabanggit ni Mayno,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004637

that there's still a shortfall of around 2 billion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004638

So again, I'm one with you, Mayno.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004639

If there's any fiscal space,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004640

which again is very, very challenging at the moment,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004641

we'll try to augment pa po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004642

SVC, any more for DOH?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004643

Yes, just a few more, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004644

Next is the HFEP program,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004645

or the Hospital Facility Enhancement Program of the DOH.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004646

Currently, there's an existing,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004647

4,472,659,000 in the 2027 proposed budget, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004648

Pero sa dami ng pangangailangan ng agency

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004649

at ng iba't ibang mga hospital all around the country,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004650

and considering that we have a very limited fiscal space,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004651

so I am proposing,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004652

to allocate an additional 1,549,000,000

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004653

for this program, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004654

So moved.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004655

There is a motion to increase the amount

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004656

for the Health Facilities Enhancement Program.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004657

It has been duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004658

There being no objection, the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004659

But again, sorry po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004660

I may sound like a broken record,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004661

medyo pared na po akong siryong plaka.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004662

Again, I appeal to the DBM and to DOH

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004663

to please fast track the implementation of HFEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004664

There is very high underutilization.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004665

I don't even want to call it underutilization,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004666

talaga ang dami po, unutilized,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004667

for the previous years that have already been accumulating.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004668

So again, we appeal to DOH to please

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004669

work on your catch-up plan

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004670

so we can implement the Health Facilities Enhancement Program items

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004671

from 2025 and 2026.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004672

Kasi mayroon pa pong malaking backlog.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004673

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004674

SVC, any more items po?

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004675

Yes, thank you Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004676

In relation to the HFEP,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004677

Go ahead po.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004678

maybe in the future can we look into a special provision

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004679

that would guarantee,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004680

would guarantee the qualifying standards

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004681

on how to allocate the funds

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004682

for the different levels of health facilities.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004683

Currently, I think there are a lot of health facilities

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004684

that does not meet the real intention

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004685

as far as the function is concerned.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004686

There are so many primary care facilities

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004687

without the necessary equipments.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004688

As well as super health centers

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004689

that were not equipped until now.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004690

So I think prioritization should be a must,

Source

asr-004692

these facilities to be funded.

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004693

If we can put some measures,

Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004694

how to qualify to be funded under the HFEP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004695

Thank you, Vice Chair Raman.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004696

Actually, I agree with you on that.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004697

Andami pong nangyayari

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004698

na may super health center,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004699

walang doktor or walang equipment.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004700

So it's not fully functional.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004701

So we'll try to put po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004702

in the special provision.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004703

If you have a suggestion po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004704

we would be very happy to put it into,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004705

to consider it for the HGAB

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004706

para po mas stringent yung qualification criteria

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004707

for these particular programs or projects.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004708

So sige pa, we'll wait po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004709

Vice Chair Raman,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004710

if you have a suggestion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004711

on the wording for the special provision.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004712

SVC?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004713

Yes.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004714

Regarding what Representative Naba said,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004715

as sponsor of the budget of the DOH,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004716

we'll be happy to work with Representative Naba

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004717

to work on the special provision needed

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004718

for our HFEP.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004719

Likewise, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004720

I'd like to inform the body that

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004721

we are also drafting a special provision

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004722

so that we could possibly tap

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004723

the unallocated amounts

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004724

from the sin taxes

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004725

so that we can fund more facilities

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004726

with the HFEP program.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004727

We will try to reconcile the balance

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004728

with the DBM

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004729

of the Treasury and the DOH

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004730

and after which we will be coming up

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004731

with a special provision, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004732

So just for information of the body.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004733

Ang ganda po na idea ni SVC

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004734

because it's similar po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004735

what SVC was saying,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004736

it's similar to how we did it

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004737

for the deficiency to SUCs

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004738

for the free higher education program.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004739

Meron pong higher education development fund,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004740

meron po kasing SAG-F.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004741

May special fund po na natutulog lang

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004742

na hindi po naiutilize.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004743

So that's why SVC had an idea

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004744

to do something similar for HFEP

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004745

and the health sector in general.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004746

So we're looking forward po, SVC,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004747

to seeing the final version

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004748

of that special provision.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004749

That would be so helpful

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004750

in funding programs

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004751

and not just funding programs,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004752

just making sure no fund is wasted

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004753

lying in the SAG-F.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004754

That is correct.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004755

And we will keep you posted, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004756

Thank you, SVC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004757

Anything else?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004758

Yes, two more items, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004759

Yung susunod po yung sa

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004760

nationally procured commodities

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004761

for prevention and control

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004762

of communicable disease.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004763

May current budget sa 2027

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004764

annual budget of 6,892,852,000.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004765

Ito po yung iba't ibang mga gamit

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004766

for disease prevention,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004767

medicine, supplies, tools

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004768

for public health facility,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004769

centers for health,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004770

for the LGUs.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004771

And very essential po ito,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004772

especially for infectious disease,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004773

supporting programs on TB,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004774

HIV, STI, rabies, dengue, malaria,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004775

and so on and so forth.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004776

So may current budget po siya

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004777

for 2027 to 6,892,852,000

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004778

and I propose an additional

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004779

1,800,000,000.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004780

So move, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004781

There is a motion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004782

to increase the budget

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004783

for procurement of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004784

medicines for communicable diseases.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004785

National procured commodities

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004786

for prevention and control

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004787

of communicable diseases.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004788

Thank you, SPC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004789

There is a motion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004790

Any second?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004791

There is a motion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004792

Duly seconded.

There being no objection,

the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004795

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004796

One last item, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004797

Ito po yung OSEC operations

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004798

of DOH hospitals.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004799

Alam naman po nating lahat,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004800

yung ating mga kababayan

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004801

palaging tumatakbo

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004802

sa mga regional hospitals

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004803

pag hindi na po kaya

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004804

ng Apex Hospital

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004805

ng ating probinsya.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004806

And may currently,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004807

may budget po ito

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004808

for the 2027 sa NEP

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004809

to the amount of 102,867,031,000.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004810

So I proposed an additional amount,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004811

additional amount of 50 million pesos,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004812

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004813

I so move.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004814

There is a motion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004815

Duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004816

There being no objection,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004817

the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004818

The OSEC operations

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004819

to operation of hospitals

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004820

is thereby increased by 50 million.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004821

Any other po for DOH?

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004822

Madam Chair.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004823

May not?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004824

Yes po.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004825

Madam Chair,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004826

I am in receipt of a proposal

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004827

from the Honorable Iris Montes

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004828

of the minority.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004829

And she is proposing for an increase

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004830

in the PhilHealth funds

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004831

because apparently,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004832

it's only 60 billion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004833

And PhilHealth needs 244 billion

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004834

for implementation

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004835

of the universal healthcare program.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004836

Just to communicate to the committee

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004837

what the Honorable Iris Montes

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004838

and a lot of the members of the minority

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-004839

desire also for our PhilHealth.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004840

I'll defer po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004841

may not to respond to that,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004842

I'll defer to SVC

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004843

because it's also one of the concerns

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004844

that he would like to address

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004845

via this special provision

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004846

that he is currently crafting.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004847

SVC?

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004848

Yes, thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004849

Thank you, Minority Leader.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004850

Kasama po ito na balak naming isubmit

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004851

na special provision also

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004852

to reconcile the balances

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004853

and unallocated funds

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004854

of the PhilHealth

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004855

based on the sin taxes

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004856

and other sources

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004857

katulad ng PCSO and the PAGCOR.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004858

So we will be meeting with

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004859

the Bureau of Treasury,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004860

DBM,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004861

and DOH,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004862

to reconcile these funds

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004863

at kung merong lalabas na balances,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004864

we will put that in the special provision

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004865

so that we can access that funds,

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004866

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004867

Again, following your lead

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004868

when you solve the problem

Source

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004869

of the arrears of the SUC

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-004870

in the 2026 budget.

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004876

Marcellino Libanan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004877

That's it, SVC for DOH.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004878

Anything else po?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004879

Any manifestation from the,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004880

any other manifestations

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004881

from our members for DOH,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004882

the Health Cluster?

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004883

If there are no other manifestations po,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004884

please flash on the screen.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004885

The total for DOH?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004886

So the total po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004887

if we add up the additional

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004888

25 billion roughly for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004889

MAEFIP, 1.55

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004890

billion for HFEP,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004891

1.8 billion for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004892

procurement of commodities for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004893

communicable diseases,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004894

and 50 million

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004895

for DOH regional hospitals,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004896

there is an additional

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004897

28.37 billion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004898

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004905

Thank you very much, SVC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004906

Again, what is the pleasure of the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004907

body po?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004908

Okay.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004909

So we'll now consider the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004910

proposals for DPWH.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004911

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004912

I would like now to recognize

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004913

the chairperson of the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004914

Committee on Public Works,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-004915

Chairperson Romeo Momo.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004916

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004917

the 2027 proposed budget

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004918

of DPWH is the

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004919

lowest budget since

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004920

2022. And many of

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004921

these major projects

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004922

were not funded under the

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004923

2027 budget.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004924

In spite of having submitted

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004925

a proposal of

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004926

1.5

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004927

billion pesos

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004928

of the

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004929

duly vetted

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004930

major

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004931

projects,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004932

only 624 billion was

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004933

approved by DVM.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004934

We should always remember,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004935

Madam Chair, that

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004936

in-price spending is proven to be the

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004937

biggest economic driver.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004938

Right now, because of the

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004939

reduced budget on ENFRA,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004940

Philippines'

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004941

statistics authority

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004942

shows that there is an increase

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004943

in unemployment, probably

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004944

because there are so many

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004945

construction companies

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004946

that stopped.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004947

And there are

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004948

big corporations

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-004949

That's all, Madam Chair. But before I end,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005053

I would like

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005054

to manifest, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005055

to support, that we will support,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005056

the BARSC would like to support

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005057

the proposed

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005058

special provisions.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005059

Being crafted by

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005060

the Department of Public Works and Highways

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005061

that will allow them to modify

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005062

if there are errors

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005063

in the printing

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005064

of the

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005065

datas in the

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005066

attached project.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005067

It will allow them to modify

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005068

so that we can speed up the implementation

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005069

of projects, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005070

Thank you very much, Chair Momo.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005071

ComSec, please take note of that.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005072

A very, very special provision.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005073

This is

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005074

borne out of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005075

essentially the delays caused by

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005076

any need for modification

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005077

in the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005078

whichever is in the GAA. Tama po ba, Chair?

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005079

Yes, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005080

because in

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005081

2026 budget,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005082

there are more than 700

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005083

projects.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005084

700 projects costing about

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005085

15 billion which could not be

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005086

implemented if we will not allow them

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005087

to modify.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005088

And then,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005089

Representative Joboy.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005090

Yes,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005091

considering that,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005092

I just would like to second

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005093

the motion,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005094

Congressman Momo,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005095

because the very

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005096

agency tasked to implement this

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005097

and you're not giving them flexibility.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005098

So the likelihood that

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005099

same as mentioned, ang daming

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005100

non-implementable, maraming nasayang, tama?

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005101

That could have been implemented, yung

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005102

iba nag-aangal na may delay.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005103

Yung delay caused by this, ah,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005104

yung mga sectioning

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005105

hindi nagtutugma-tugma,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005106

minadali.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005107

So wala na naman sa laki ng,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005108

you know, like,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005109

ang laki ng

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005110

ini-implement nilang projects

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005111

all over the country.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005112

Hindi naman lahat yan

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005113

perfect, yung mga sectioning niya

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005114

at saka yung mga, di ba?

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005115

Kailangan talaga

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005116

because of what happened this year

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005117

that it really caused delay,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005118

waste of money

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005119

because non-implementable.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005120

So dapat talagang ibigay yung

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005121

flexibility sa DPWH.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005122

You know,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005123

we already gone through all these reforms.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005124

Transparency,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005125

accountability,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005126

binigay na natin lahat na yan,

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005127

ma-implement nang tama.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005128

Binigyan na rin ng opportunity ang

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005129

DP na mag-reform.

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005130

So dapat bigyan na rin natin sila ng

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005131

not discretion, but leeway

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005132

for them to be able to implement

Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005133

these important projects.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005134

Yes, I agree,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005135

Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005136

because right now,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005137

the vetted project of the Department

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005138

of Public Works and Highways is duly

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005139

supported by all the requirements.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005140

So, kahit nagkakamali doon sa

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005141

printing dahil typo error

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005142

o ano kaya,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005143

duly vetted naman at supported

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005144

yun ng mga documents

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005145

which are a requirement of DBM

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005146

before they were included,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005147

in the proposal.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005148

Ah, Mr. Chair.

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005154

It is true, yung mga maraming

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005155

pagkakamali. Sometimes it takes

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005156

five, eight months.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005157

Napaka-simple. Sa isang district

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005158

napunta yung project ko na magkatabi lang.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005159

Ganyan.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005160

That's one of my experiences.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005161

Anyway, I have just one question.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005162

Kung mo mo.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005163

Itong sa

Is it only the buildings

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005169

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

That's a good question,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005171

adorable Joe Boy.

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005172

Actually, national building

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005206

all. Sinasabi ko lang yung

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005207

ilan na katulad ko.

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005210

Thank you. Vice-chair

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005211

Pupito Alvarez.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005212

I just like

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005213

to manifest or a little bit

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005214

add to what

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005215

Chair Momo is

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005216

saying. But

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005217

I think the

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005218

better word to use is not

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005219

modify. Because

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005220

modify,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005221

will be suspect

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005222

if there is no

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005223

error. But the better

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005224

word is to correct the

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005225

wrong entries, the wrong

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005226

coordinates, and

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005227

misprint. So if you use the word

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005228

modify or alter,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005229

that is suspect.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005230

So I would suggest to use

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005231

the word to correct the wrong

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005232

entries, the wrong coordinates,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005233

and the wrong

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005234

misprint.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-005235

If I may.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005235-split-2

I agree.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005236

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005237

Although, Chair Momo, the technical

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005238

term kasi even in the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005239

general provisions po kasi

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005240

it's modification po kasi talaga yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005241

technical term.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005242

Yun po kasi yung technical terminology

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005243

even in the general provisions.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005244

Chair Momo, if I

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005245

may, just to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005246

reiterate what Chair Momo

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005247

is saying, we would just

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005248

like to highlight that

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005249

whichever items

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005250

Chair Momo is

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005251

advocating for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005252

for inclusion in DPWH, all of these

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005253

are supported by

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005254

all the documentary requirements

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005255

consistent with the requirements of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005256

the DBM during

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005257

the budget call. So

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005258

just to reiterate po, there are five

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005259

documentary requirements. There's

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005260

BP 202.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005261

There's the geotagging.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005262

Geotagging. There's a certificate of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005263

implementability and feasibility.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005264

There's the actual POW.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005265

And

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005266

RDC or MDC approval.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005267

Depending on the type of project.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005268

Hindi po to basta-basta na

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005269

hinila sa ere

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005270

all of these projects

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005271

which will eventually

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005272

be included in the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005273

House General Appropriations Bill

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005274

has been vetted and supported

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005275

by all the requirements

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005276

as required by the DBM

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005277

and the DPWH.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005278

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005279

Thank you po. Yes, Representative Brian Po.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005280

So just again to be clear,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005281

this is, if ever

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005282

this special provision allows for the modification

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005283

of any errors

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005284

but not amounts.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005285

The amounts remain the same.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005286

You cannot modify

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005287

amounts in the GAA. It's really

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005288

just the station

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005289

numbers and the coordinates.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005290

Yes, I just wanted that on the record for those

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005291

who are viewing, para maintindihan nila.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005292

We're not talking about the amounts post

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005293

GAA. We're only talking about

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005294

wording or any other corrections.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005295

Thank you Madam Chair. Thank you for the clarification.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005296

Chair Momo.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005297

The amount could not be modified.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005298

Only the other entries.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005299

Except the amount.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005300

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005301

If I may po, this

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005302

problem of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005303

modification is not just

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005304

isolated in the case

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005305

of DPWH.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005306

That is also the case for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005307

farm to market roads

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005308

under DA and

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005309

NIA, projects under

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005310

NIA. So

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005311

this special provision po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005312

we will advocate for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005313

for across the different

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005314

infrastructure projects because

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005315

the worst that can happen is that

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005316

we're wasting funds

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005317

and also sayang po yung delays

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005318

in terms of the economic multipliers

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005319

na sana and the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005320

realized benefits. So

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005321

this special provision po, Chair Momo,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005322

maybe we could also

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005323

adopt that for farm to market

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005324

roads and classrooms.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005325

Sorry, and irrigation projects

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005326

and even classrooms.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005327

You're right, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005328

Thank you very much po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005329

Any other manifestation po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005330

for the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005331

Department of Public Works and Highways?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005332

If there are no other

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005333

manifestations, maybe please flash

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005334

on the screen the total

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005335

amount that would be

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005336

added to DPWH. So that

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005337

would be a total of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005338

6.9 billion for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005339

National Roads,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005340

175 million for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005341

the National Bridge Program,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005342

307 million for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005343

the National Building Program, and

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005344

4.09 billion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005345

for the Convergence and Special Support

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005346

Program. For a total of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005347

11.49 billion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005348

pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005349

And again,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005350

all the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005351

individual

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005352

items or projects,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005353

we will require

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005354

that all of these are

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005355

supported by complete

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005356

documentary requirements.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005357

Alright.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005358

Now that we're done with DPWH,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005359

what's the pleasure of the body?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005360

Which agency would you like to take up next po?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005361

Okay.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005362

I would like to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005363

recognize

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005364

Cong. Joanne Bautista.

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005367

with the

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005368

Department of Labor and Employment?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005369

Yes, ma'am.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005370

For the DOLE, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005372

I just have two items

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005373

for my part.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005374

This is also requested by the

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005375

agency, by the DOLE.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005376

First is the

sa ating

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005379

Disadvantage

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005380

or Displaced Workers

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005381

or Tupad Program.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005382

As we know,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005383

this program provides

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005384

for emergency employment

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005385

for displaced workers,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005386

underemployed,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005387

and seasonal workers.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005388

And considering, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005389

that as we have been

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005390

discussing earlier

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005391

with the looming

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005392

extreme El Nino,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005393

one of the effects,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005394

aside from the issue

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005395

of food security,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005396

maaari din po is

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005397

yung

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005398

mga trabaho

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005399

at livelihood po

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005400

ay maapektuhan

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005401

itong ine-expect po natin

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005402

or ina-anticipate natin

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005403

na extreme El Nino.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005404

And just for the record,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005405

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005406

I also manifested this

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005407

during the

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005408

lead

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005409

committee hearings

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005410

noong kasagsagan po

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005411

ng

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005412

National State of Energy Emergency.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005413

Ito pong Tupad Program

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005414

was able to help

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005415

more than 17,000

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005416

transporters

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005417

under the Tupad

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005418

Tuloy Pasada Program.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005419

Kung natatandaan po natin,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005420

maraming pong mga

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005421

transport workers

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005422

ang tumigil ang pasada

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005423

dahil hindi na po nila

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005424

kayang bayaran

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005425

or ang gasolina,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005426

hindi na po sila kumikita

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005427

at tumigil ang pasada.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005428

And we've seen in the news,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005429

napakahaba po ng pila,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005430

marami pong commuters

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005431

ang naapektuhan.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005432

Noong in-implement po ito

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005433

ng DOLE,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005434

ito pong Tupad,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005435

noong panahon na yon,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005436

nagtuloy po

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005437

ang pasada

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005438

ng mga

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005439

drivers.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005440

nakasakay po ang ating mga commuters.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005441

So marami pong natulungan

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005442

itong Tupad.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005443

So this is just an example

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005444

of how this program

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005445

can help

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005446

in times of crisis

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005447

provide employment,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005448

emergency employment

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005449

in times of crisis

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005450

kagaya po noong nangyari

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005451

noong energy crisis,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005452

noong kasagsagan po

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005453

ng energy crisis.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005454

And so with this,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005455

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005456

may I respectfully move

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005457

for the increase

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005458

of the budget

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005459

of

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005460

the allocation

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005461

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005462

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005463

under DOLE

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005471

to increase the budget

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005472

for the Department of Labor and Employment,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005473

particularly the Tupad program.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005474

By 5 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005475

It has been moved

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005478

There being no objections,

Minority Leader Libanan?

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005482

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005483

Madam Chair,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005484

we had an appropriation

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005485

of 21.2 billion

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005486

for 2026

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005487

General Appropriations Act.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005488

And with this proposal,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005489

with the NEP

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005490

of 14.2 billion,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005491

and an additional

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005492

of 5 billion,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005493

we only have 19.2 billion.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005494

And we are short

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005495

of 2 billion

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005496

in comparison to last year.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005497

So, Madam Chair,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005498

if there's any possibility

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005499

that we can

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005500

increase this,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005501

because we have a lot of displaced workers now,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005502

disadvantaged and displaced workers

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005503

who will be needing this fund.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005504

So, if there's any

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005505

fiscal space,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005506

until the bicam,

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005507

I hope we can increase

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

this appropriation.

Any objection?

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

There's not an objection but a manifestation.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005688

Ito po yung subject matter ng ating interpellation.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005689

Dahil kulang tayo ng safeguards sa LGSF.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005690

Kung pwede malagyan ng special provision

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005691

para sa LGSF natin.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005692

Yun ang hiling ng ilang member ng minoriya.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005693

Thank you po, Mayno.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005694

I believe being the one who defended the lump sum funds,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005695

ano po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005696

we, we,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005697

we have several safeguards that were mentioned.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005698

First is with regard to the criteria and guidelines

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005699

for the release of LGSF,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005700

particularly for FALGO.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005701

And the second po is to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005702

put additional reportorial requirements

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005703

for the monitoring of the implementation of FALGO.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005704

May request po siguro, Mayno,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005705

given that a lot of the members of the minority

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005706

raised the same concern around safeguards

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005707

and introducing a special provision for LGSF,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005708

may we request po, Mayno,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005709

if there is a proposed wording po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005710

coming from the members of the minority,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005711

we would be very happy po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005712

to look through it

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005713

for consideration including it in the HGAP.

Source

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan

asr-005714

We will comply, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005715

Thank you very much po, Mayno.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005716

Is there any objection po?

does this, the budget that they are actually asking,

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-005736

does it concern national security,

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005738

Well,

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005739

that is a very good point.

Source

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005740

You know, because,

Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II

asr-005741

actually, it's more about

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Representative Brian Poe.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005773

Madam Chair, in the interest of national security, and for these items that will be mentioned later, I'd propose that the particulars not be mentioned but the amounts be mentioned. We have with us here the actual request from the DND, so they exist. It's just in the interest of national security because many of these are classified. I think it would be best if we as the BARSC mentioned the amounts for approval for transparency purposes.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-005774

However, in the interest again of national security, we don't mention the particulars.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005774-split-2

Is that the pleasure of the body? Okay, that being the case po, I would like to once again recognize Representative Joboy Aquino.

Thank you very much, Representative Jobo Aquino.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005827

Any other manifestation, po, for the Department of National Defense?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005829

Okay, there being none.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005830

Again, for the sake of transparency and balancing that with the interest of national security,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005831

these are the items that have been approved by the BARSC for the Department of National Defense.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005832

Five items amounting to 108 million, 285 million, 60 million, 85 million, and 15 million

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005833

for a total amount of 553,765,000 for the Department of National Defense.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005834

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005835

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005836

With that, we move to the next agency.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005837

May I now recognize Representative Stephen James Tan.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005838

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005839

And there's a request, Madam Chair, coming from the Department of Tourism under the program

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005840

Dive Destination Development, Promotion, and Sustainability.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005841

It is essentially a program focused on making the Philippine dive destination more developed,

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005842

marketable, safe, and environmentally sustainable.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005844

However, they have initially proposed

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005845

a budget of 15.2 million, but on the NEP of

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005846

2027 there was zero allocations, so they are trying to request the BARSC that they be

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005847

allocated 15.2 million or 2027 budget.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005848

I move, Mr. Chair, that

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005849

this item be considered

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005850

for the approval

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005851

of the BARSC.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005852

May I request for the amount?

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005853

15.2 million.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005854

There is a motion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005855

to increase the budget of DOT

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005856

particularly for the dive

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005857

program.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005857-split-2

Yes, Madam.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005858

It has been duly seconded.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005859

Any objection?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005860

The motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Stephen James T. Tan

asr-005861

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005862

Thank you. Anything else

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005863

for the Department of Tourism?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005864

We'll show

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005865

on the screen.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005866

For DOT,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005867

for the dive

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005868

destination development promotion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005869

sustainability program, an amount of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005870

15.2 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005871

A million.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005872

Did I say billion?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005873

15.2 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005874

Okay. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005875

Next agency.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005876

What is the pleasure of the body?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005877

Representative

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005878

Joanne Bautista.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005879

Yes, Madam Chair. Move to consider

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005880

proposed

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005881

increases for

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005882

the Department of Migrant Workers.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005883

Okay. We have two items for this,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005884

Madam Chair. We've already

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005885

manifested our support for these

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005886

two programs during the budget briefings.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005887

Specifically

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005888

for Action Fund

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005889

ng DMW.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005890

However,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005891

this is also supported

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005892

by a request from the agency.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005893

However, considering

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005894

that our

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005895

limited fiscal space at the moment,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005896

maybe

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005897

I will just move

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005898

for an increase of at least

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005899

150 million

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005900

additional

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005901

150 million for the Action Fund,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005902

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005903

Just to clarify,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005904

Kong Joanne, sorry,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005905

I keep on asking the same question.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005906

The DMW, as well as the OWA,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005907

got an additional, I think,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005908

4 billion from Uplift.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005909

So,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005910

nagamit na po ba yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005911

yung amount nila?

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005912

For the record, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005913

I'm no longer the budget sponsor

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005914

for this.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005915

Ano, baka po nakalimutan natin. But I believe there was

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005916

a supplemental

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005917

budget because

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005918

they were able to fully utilize

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005919

already what we have given

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005920

them for 2026.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005921

As of

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005922

the first

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005923

two months of

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005924

the Middle East crisis.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005925

So, they were given supplemental budget.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005926

But as to the utilization,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005927

I'm not very sure.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005928

But, maybe we can get the data

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005929

from the...

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005930

But the NEP level, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005931

is at 2 billion.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005932

NEP 2027,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005933

the Action Fund is 2 billion.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005934

This is the same amount

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005935

that was given to them last year.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005936

So,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005937

actually, they're asking for

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005938

another 1 billion.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005939

But we understand

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005940

the limited fiscal

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005941

capacity that we have

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005942

at the moment. So, I am

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005943

moving for at least

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005944

150 million increase, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005945

Thank you, Kong Joanne.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005946

Force of habit. Nasanay ako na ikaw yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005947

budget sponsor for DMW.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005948

I'm so sorry.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005949

So, there's a motion po for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005950

the Action Fund for the benefit

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005951

of our BARSC members. Ito po yung

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005952

ginagamit for financial assistance

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005953

for

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005954

our migrant workers.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005955

Yes, for our OFWs, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005956

including their families.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005957

Various assistance, actually.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005958

Meron pong legal assistance,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005959

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005960

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005961

even housing, shelter,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005962

we can get from this.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005963

Yung pong mga nagkakaroon ng legal problems

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005964

abroad, yung mga legal retainers,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005965

we provide them legal assistance.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005966

And yung mga biglang nawawalan,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005967

wala ng trabaho, kung kailangan nilang

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005968

umuwi, or yung family naman nila,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005969

dinadala rin po abroad,

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005970

lahat po yun sa Action Fund po

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005971

natin nakukuha.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005972

Thank you, Kong Joanne.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005973

There's a motion to increase

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005974

the Action Fund under the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005975

Department of Migrant Workers by

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005976

150 million. Is there

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005977

any second?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005978

Any objection?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005979

There being none, the motion is carried.

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005980

Yes.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005980-split-2

Anything else, Kong Joanne?

Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-005981

Yes, I have one more item

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

Any other agencies po that you would like to discuss?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006080

Yes po, Representative Allan Ty.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006081

Chair, regarding Small Business Corp.,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006082

it submitted a request for an increase of its budget

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006083

because in FY2026, SB Corporation's budget is 1 billion.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006084

However, under the NEP for FY2027,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006085

the proposed budget is 840.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006086

So SB Corporation is requesting that its FY2027 budget

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006087

be maintained at the level of FY2026.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006088

That's a motion po po, Alan, right?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006089

That's a request of the SB Corporation, Chair.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006090

So in case we cannot accommodate its request,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006091

SB Corporation request,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006092

if we can,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006093

at least give 50 million pesos for SB Corporation.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-006094

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006102

Yes.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-006104

I agree with Kong Allan Ty in the increase of the budget of SB Corp.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-006105

because I have seen how it functions.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-006106

I have seen how many small businesses in my district that have been helped by SB Corp.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-006107

And ito yung mga negosyo na hindi lang negosyo na mga tindahan,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-006108

kundi talagang mga malalaking negosyante.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-006112

At ito yung mga may mga malalaking pwesto sa lugar natin

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-006113

na nabibigyan ng pagkakataon na magkaroon ng puhunan

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-006114

at maliit ang binabayad nilang interests

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-006115

at talagang natutulungan yung maliit nag-negosyante na hindi nauubos yung kanilang pera

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-006116

dun sa pagbabayad lang ng interests dun sa mga hanapbuhay na pinapasok nila.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-006117

With that, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-006118

fully support the motion of our dear colleague,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

Congressman Allan Ty.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006123

Binalik niyo po ba siya sa DTI?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006124

Ayan, SB Corp and Design Center of the Philippines combined

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

is now at 80 million for DTI.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006126

asr-006127

Any other agencies that the members of the BARSC would like to put forth?

asr-006181

There is a motion to increase...

100 for traveling expenses, 70 for communication expenses, and 30 for subscription expenses for a total of 200 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006197

So this would greatly help po for audit, accountability and transparency measures.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006198

So, yun naman po, ang dami pong mga miyembro ng minority, actually both majority and minority, who all want additional funding for COA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006199

Marami nga pong humihingi din ng additional funding for pre-audit.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006200

Hindi lang natin kaya,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006201

given the fiscal space, but this should hopefully help COA do more audits po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006202

Okay?

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006203

Representative John?

If we may just make a quick manifestation po, the current NEP level for the House of Representatives is only at 18 billion.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Even with the 5 billion peso increase, it would go up to 23 billion, which is the lowest it's been in a while.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-006248

Because in the previous GAAS po, I believe the range is around 27 and 30 billion.

we always provide an initial amount of 150 million, which is sufficient, doable and practical to be completed within the year, Madam Chair. Considering the fiscal limitation, I would like to propose that we consider an additional 150 million for the Office of the Ombudsman. I so move, Madam Chair.
