asr-000252

Alam ko, komplikado po itong cyberspace pero ganun pa man,

00:33:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000253

importante na nakakabili [unclear] po tayo ng mga

00:33:53Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000254

kagamitan na makakatulong po tayo sa pagprepara sa mga ganitong conflicts at warfare.

00:34:03Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000255

At sa kabilang punto, ang Armed Forces of the Philippines ay hindi lang tag-defend ng ating bansa

00:34:13Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000256

kung hindi rin rin meresponder ito sa mga kalamidad na nangyayari po sa ating bansa.

00:34:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000257

At isa rin po sa mga bagay na dapat po natin tignan,

00:34:23Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000258

multi-role capability ng ating armed forces, lalo na pag tumatama sa ating malaking bagyo

00:34:31Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000259

o mayroong mga malalaking kalamidad na nararanasan natin.

00:34:36Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000260

So kami po ay sumusuporta sa pagbibigay ng dagdag kapasidad ng ating armed forces

00:34:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000261

at importante rin po na tuloy-tuloy yung supporta, sustainable yung pagsusuporta natin

00:34:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000262

hanggat umabot tayo sa kakayahan na gusto natin makita.

00:34:53Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000263

So maraming salamat, Mr. Chairman.

00:34:55Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000264

Thank you, our Senate President. Maraming salamat din sa supporta mo nung isang taon sa ating armed forces.

00:35:02Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000265

The biggest ever, probably, budget for the AFP modernization.

00:35:06Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000266

Our colleague, Senator Panfilo Lacson.

00:35:09Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-000267

None from this representation. I'll just listen to the presentation and seek clarification if I need to. Thank you.

00:35:16Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000268

Thank you, Senator Lacson, Senator Tulfo.

00:35:19Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000269

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Magandang araw po sa ating lahat.

00:35:22Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000270

Today, as we deliberate the proposed 2027 budget of the Department of National Defense,

00:35:29Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000271

let us be guided by our commitment to protect our sovereignty, uphold our territorial integrity,

00:35:38Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000272

and ensure the safety and security of every Filipinos.

00:35:42Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000273

But how can we do that if the budget of the National Defense is cut down,

00:35:48Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000274

if I'm not mistaken, about 43.01%?

00:35:52Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000275

Bapano po natin mapoprotektahan ang ating soberenya,

00:35:58Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000276

pagtatanggol po ang ating teritoryo,

00:36:01Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000277

at masiguro ang siguridad at kapakanan ng bawat Pilipino kung binawasan po ng budget?

00:36:09Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000278

Ang budget na ito ay hindi lamang tungkol sa numbers and allocations.

00:36:12Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000279

It represents our investment in stronger, more capable, and more modern armed forces of the Philippines.

00:36:19Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000280

Ang bawat pisong inilalaan sa pambansang depensa ay dapat,

00:36:22Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000281

magsilbi sa kapakanan ng sambayan ng Pilipino.

00:36:25Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000282

Every allocation must translate into tangible improvements in our country's defense, posture,

00:36:31Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000283

operational readiness, and ability to respond to both traditional emerging security challenges.

00:36:39Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000284

Nabawasan nga po ang external threat.

00:36:42Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000285

Ang ating internal threat, tumaas naman po ang external threat, meaning kalaban galing sa labas.

00:36:49Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000286

How do we address that kung mas maliit po na budget?

00:36:53Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000287

We also recognize that national defense goes beyond preparedness.

00:36:58Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000288

It encompasses our commitment to our soldiers and their families,

00:37:01Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000289

our support for communities affected by conflict and disasters,

00:37:05Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000290

and our contribution to a peaceful, secure, and resilient Philippines.

00:37:09Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000291

We look forward to a constructive discussion of DND's 2027 proposed budget

00:37:14Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000292

to ensure that every peso strategically allocated, responsibly spent,

00:37:19Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000293

and aligned with our national defense priorities.

00:37:22Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-000294

Maraming salamat po, Gen. Chairman.

00:37:26Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000295

Thank you, Senator Tulfo.

00:37:29Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000296

Before we ask the Department of National Defense and the AFP for the presentation,

00:37:34Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000297

I seek the indulgence of our colleagues to allow the department and the touch agency

00:37:38Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000298

to conclude their presentation before asking questions.

00:37:42Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000299

Each center will be allowed later with about 10 minutes for questions.

00:37:46Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000300

In keeping tradition, of course, we will give priority to the officials of the Senate,

00:37:50Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000301

followed by the centers.

00:37:52Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000302

In the order of the arrival.

00:37:54Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000303

So at this point, at this juncture, I would like now to call to our Secretary of National Defense,

00:38:00Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000304

Gilbert Teodoro, Jr., to deliver his opening statement and the presentation of the department

00:38:05Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000305

and its attached agencies thereafter.

00:38:07Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000306

Thank you.

00:38:08Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000307

Secretary Teodoro, you now have the floor.

00:38:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000308

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairperson, and to our Senate President and our sponsor last year,

00:38:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000309

to our Senator Lacson, Vice Chairman, and Senator Tulfo, Vice Chairman, likewise.

00:38:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000310

It is indeed an honor to present our budget request once again to this honorable chamber.

00:38:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000311

And might I just give a short preface and then if with the indulgence of the senators,

00:38:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000312

go straight to page 15 of the presentation, which is the highlights of the proposed budget per NET.

00:38:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000313

Firstly, we, the Armed Forces of the Philippines, at the forefront together with the Department of National Defense in cooperation with other agencies, have been at the forefront of external defense operations in order to deter further aggression in the West Philippine Sea and other areas now not traditionally encompassed.

00:39:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000314

Secondly, there still is robust presence to preserve the gains of internal security

00:39:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000315

in areas which have been cleared of the CPP, NPA, and DF threat.

00:39:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000316

Nonetheless, we estimate that robust presence of the Armed Forces of the Philippines,

00:39:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000317

considering that the coverage of the Armed Forces of the Philippines,

00:39:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000318

not only for operational purposes, but also for administrative and logistical purposes,

00:39:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000319

is not as robust within the 7,600 islands as we want.

00:40:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000320

For this reason, the Philippine Army has been tasked to scope its areas of operations

00:40:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000321

and also to determine for logistical and staging purposes

00:40:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000322

and support purposes for our military.

00:40:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000323

For our strategic basing, which we have proposed,

00:40:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000324

it is necessary to establish new presence, whether these be brigades or divisions.

00:40:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000325

Secondly, these areas will serve as nodes for our critical infrastructure,

00:40:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000326

which has to be, as we determined, stand-alone.

00:40:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000327

You mentioned earlier our cyber systems.

00:40:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000328

We do have capabilities.

00:40:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000329

However, these rely on the, shall we say,

00:41:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000330

sterile nature of critical basic infrastructure,

00:41:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000331

which we have had to remediate and deal with.

00:41:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000332

As you know, in terms of IT, you start with IT and then you progress to cyber

00:41:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000333

because your IT foundation is...

00:41:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000334

the basis of your resilience and stability.

00:41:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000335

And one compromise in any area can lead to systemic compromises in others.

00:41:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000336

This we had to continue to remediate.

00:41:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000337

And as we construct our new infrastructure,

00:41:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000338

we will incorporate the resilience necessary in these areas.

00:41:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000339

For our Navy,

00:41:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000340

the major thrust once again is not only for the new platforms

00:41:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000341

to complement with the Coast Guard our presence in the 360-degree area,

00:42:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000342

but we have a big gap which we are starting to fill hopefully by the end of this year

00:42:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000343

in our dockyards and our berthing facilities.

00:42:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000344

Our naval bases,

00:42:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000345

our design,

00:42:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000346

except for a few,

00:42:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000347

very few,

00:42:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000348

are not deep nor big enough

00:42:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000349

to support the type of operations that we will need.

00:42:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000350

Thirdly, our Philippine Air Force continues.

00:42:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000351

It's the sustainment of the systems already ordered

00:42:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000352

and the upgrade of those systems.

00:42:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000358

Because we have to upgrade these systems while we try to segue,

00:43:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000359

or to not segue,

00:43:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000360

to complement this with platforms that we can afford in the meantime,

00:43:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000361

which provide a sufficient deterrence for us.

00:43:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000362

The Philippine Marine Corps,

00:43:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000363

We have a new commandant here, Brigadier General Apostol, who was tasked to scope the areas which need marine operations,

00:43:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000364

knowing very well that the Philippine Marine Corps is a maneuver corps.

00:43:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000365

It is not a territorial corps.

00:43:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000366

And with three marine brigades and one support brigade, no, four infantry brigades and one support brigade for 7,600 islands,

00:43:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000367

I think just the math alone shows that it is too small.

00:44:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000368

Secondly, the Air Force or the Navy or them must ensure their mobility and must ensure their firepower.

00:44:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000369

Because a fixed marine unit is not a marine unit.

00:44:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000370

Its essence is its deployability and mobility.

00:44:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000371

So, Brigadier General Apostol, once he is confirmed, Your Honors, hopefully soon,

00:44:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000372

will devote his time to the...

00:44:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000373

...growth plan of the Philippine Marine Corps that includes equipment.

00:44:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000374

We have talked about the internal security dimension,

00:44:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000375

but a lot of operations right now have seen the connection between territorial...

00:45:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000376

defense and internal security. That is in the front of illegal, FIMI and other illegal activities by undesirable state adversaries that have been proliferating, as the Senate President knows, in our space.

00:45:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000377

Which serve to weaken economic resilience, connectivity, and basic infrastructure, and perhaps other forms of malign activity, which we continued in coordination with other, with the law enforcement agencies to disrupt and to discuss.

00:45:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000378

I think that is a major issue right now on internal security of which we devote a lot of cooperative time with the lead agencies, namely the PAO, the NBI.

00:46:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000379

In HADR, of course, it is a constant threat.

00:46:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000380

However, we have refined our deliverables now.

00:46:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000381

To a coordinated response as quick as possible.

00:46:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000382

And we concentrate on that in the OCD so that we do not lose focus on what people need immediately.

00:46:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000383

Because feeling that need alone for those who may be displaced is already a very, very tall task.

00:46:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000384

And to exceed that will eat into the competence.

00:46:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000385

Of the other agencies, which should be doing resilience and other foundational efforts.

00:47:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000386

So we try to balance the need to focus, the need to coordinate with the ability also to coordinate international cooperation.

00:47:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000387

For collective resilience on the veteran side.

00:47:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000388

We continue to innovate.

00:47:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000389

Services to our veterans, which not only will be in terms of payment, but in terms of giving them.

00:47:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000390

Wellness and dignity.

00:47:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000391

So that they can continue.

00:47:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000392

To continue their lives after they have served in a manner which fits their service.

00:48:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000393

The Veterans Memorial Medical Center, as we said, your honors, now has what we call the Valor Clinics to disaggregate basic medical services throughout the country.

00:48:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000394

So that the veterans.

00:48:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000395

Do not need to come to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.

00:48:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000396

They have a scope that before the spread of the veteran services through the Valor Clinics, only 6% of the veterans were able to avail of medical treatment.

00:48:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000397

And we have reported to the president that the structure itself of the medical center is a cause for high infection rates.

00:48:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000398

Because of its age and because of its design.

00:48:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000399

So it has to be turned down and rebuilt because it is it was made right after liberation, your honors, and it was a dormitory type of hospital, just like the case on Institute before and with today's day and age with the with the strength of viruses that and bacteria.

00:49:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000400

That have.

00:49:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000401

Mutated over time, we cannot tolerate a structure of that kind, therefore, I believe the president has approved phase one where we will be constructing an annex where we transfer the patients while the major reconstruction work is done and there will be a big outpatient service.

00:49:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000402

To.

00:49:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000403

Collocate with the subway exit that is being constructed for the convenience of veterans and the end goal is for it to become a specialized hospital where the outreach clinics cannot handle anymore likewise to be a specialized hospital for cases where the AFP Medical Center cannot handle the case anymore.

00:50:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000404

We have instructed them.

00:50:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000405

To.

00:50:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000406

Free focus their efforts on higher technological munitions and other implements.

00:50:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000407

For so long, the government arsenal has not operated as an arsenal, but as a factory.

00:50:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000408

And it and and we cannot have it continue that way because at the end of the day, higher technological transfer will only happen on a government to government secret basis with our preferred like minded partners and.

00:51:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000409

The government arsenal will be the.

00:51:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000410

Foundation for these venues of joint cooperation on highly potentially.

00:51:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000411

Highly highly confidential platforms and mechanisms and the evolution of the same.

00:51:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

So their their concentration on small arms munition ammunition shall shift.

00:52:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000429

For recently ratifying our status of visiting forces agreement with France.

00:52:43Source

asr-000435

have a

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

possible.

00:53:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000438

With that, Your Honors, I will

00:53:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000439

move to the highlights of

00:53:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000440

the proposed

00:53:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000441

budget per the

00:53:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000442

National Expenditure Plan.

00:53:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000443

We have a regular fund

00:53:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000444

allocation, Your Honors, of

00:53:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000445

P324.6

00:53:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000446

billion

00:53:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000447

pesos.

00:53:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000448

It's 10% growth.

00:53:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000449

And

00:53:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000450

10% year-on-year

00:53:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000451

growth. But that's year-on-year, Your Honor,

00:53:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000452

not from last year.

00:53:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000453

So the annual growth

00:53:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000454

will come

00:53:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000455

from

00:53:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000456

come on the later slides, but

00:53:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000457

year-on-year is based on

00:53:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000458

fiscal year

00:53:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000459

2020.

00:53:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000460

2021, that is the base year.

00:54:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000461

So it's

00:54:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000462

10% year-on-year from

00:54:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000485

May indulgence, Your Honor.

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000486

Air Force kasi po ito, kaya

asr-000487

lumundag na lumundag eh.

00:54:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000488

Okay. So, okay na yan. Habulin na lang natin. Sige. Kumabul ka na. Okay na yan.

00:55:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000489

Alright. The Office of the Secretary, which is the whole DND, has 0.49 share percent and it was reduced by 31 percent from year 2021,

00:55:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000490

which means to say we have to work more and hire less for less.

00:55:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000491

To date, Your Honor, the DND proper has a fill-up of only 268 warm bodies to include myself.

00:55:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000492

And we have to handle all of these systems. So, it is unsustainable in the long run.

00:55:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000493

And we have already pending in the House, DND rego-organization.

00:55:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000494

Rego-organization bill, which, I mean, for 260 fill-up, 324 approved plantilla personnel.

00:55:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000495

That's way, way too small for the amount of work that we do.

00:56:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000496

Hence, my shiny forehead, which progresses, Your Honor.

00:56:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000497

For the Armed Forces of the Philippines, it has 312 billion, Your Honor, 313.

00:56:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000498

Which is 96 percent of the budget.

00:56:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000499

For the civilian bureaus, Your Honor, it has a 3 percent share in the national expenditure plan.

00:56:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000500

Next slide, please.

00:56:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000501

The breakdown, Your Honor,

00:56:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000502

shows that the DND,

00:56:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000503

the DND proper received a decrease.

00:56:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000504

The government arsenal decreased.

00:56:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000505

NDCP decreased.

00:56:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000506

OCD decreased.

00:57:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000507

And PBAO decreased, Your Honor.

00:57:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000508

I believe these also require some examination.

00:57:09Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-000509

Excuse me, Secretary Guibok.

00:57:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000510

Yes, Your Honor.

00:57:11Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-000511

I ask permission to interject.

00:57:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000512

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

00:57:24Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-000516

Yung house version, it's already at 329.

00:57:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000517

We have not received, Sir.

00:57:29Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-000518

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000524

Para mapasalamatan din po namin.

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-000525

Para na ma-update kasi out of date na rin yung 324.

00:57:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000526

Yes, Sir.

00:57:47Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-000527

Thank you.

00:57:48Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-000528

Sorry for interjecting.

00:57:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000529

Kasi po, Sir, pag hindi na, di ba, we cannot present the house version hanggat hindi nyo ma-aprubahan kasi ano eh.

00:58:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000530

Pero that's good news, Sir.

00:58:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000531

Thank you very much for the good news.

00:58:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000532

So, Sir, may I proceed to the next slide already?

00:58:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000533

Next slide already.

00:58:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000534

The automatic appropriations, the regular fund, Sir, is 324.63.

00:58:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000535

The automatic appropriations for personnel is 4.1 billion.

00:58:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000536

And the special purpose fund, which is composed of the pensions, is 132 billion.

00:58:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000537

The modernization program is included here with 50 billion.

00:58:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000538

On the next slide.

00:59:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000539

Personal services.

00:59:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000540

We have a slight increase of 179 in line with our...

00:59:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000541

...goal to increase our footprint.

00:59:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000542

On MOU, Sir, which is quite important for us because of the tempo of operations right now,

00:59:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000543

I can say, Your Honors, that our tempo now is beyond 100%.

00:59:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000544

Meaning to say, it's beyond design because of the number of

00:59:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000548

personnel we have to sustain the number of activities we do.

00:59:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000549

That takes into account internal security, HADR...

01:00:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000550

and for joint exercises, retraining.

01:00:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000551

What suffers here is the amount of rest and retraining time that our men and women have.

01:00:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000552

Right now, we do not have enough forces, both on the operational side to have adequate R&R for them.

01:00:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000553

And secondly, we lack personnel on the support side.

01:00:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000554

The ratio of operating to support personnel is 80-20, more or less, which is unsustainable

01:00:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000555

because logistics, intelligence, planning, we need a robust infrastructure in order to sustain the operations.

01:00:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000556

So, the MOOE increase is much, much welcome, particularly, Your Honor, with the cost of fuel right now.

01:01:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000557

Last year, it is good that we were able to hedge the cost of fuel and assume that they would rise.

01:01:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000558

So, this year, the increase is relevant.

01:01:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000559

With capital outlay...

01:01:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000560

With capital outlay, this is where our biggest gap is.

01:01:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000561

We need a lot of infrastructure right now, particularly, Your Honors, on the eastern seaboard,

01:01:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000562

where we do not have naval presence.

01:01:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000563

We do not have substantial infrastructure also in Palawan, not for the naval purposes, but for the army purposes,

01:01:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000564

which will serve...

01:01:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000565

which will serve as hubs for supporting our strategic bases.

01:02:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000566

Mindoro.

01:02:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000567

Our presence, too, in Mindoro is only one brigade.

01:02:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000568

And with the size of Mindoro, Your Honor, that is not sufficient.

01:02:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000569

In northern Luzon, we have only one division for how many provinces?

01:02:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000570

And we only have one naval force.

01:02:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000571

In that...

01:02:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000572

In that area, which spans the South China Sea to the Pacific Ocean.

01:02:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000573

So, we really need to refocus our strategic positioning in these areas, Your Honor.

01:02:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000574

And we cannot do that until...

01:02:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000575

sustainably, until the army solidifies its footprint in the Philippines.

01:02:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000576

So, capital outlay, Your Honor, is extremely important.

01:02:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000577

Also, for building critical infrastructure facilities for security of our platforms and security of our operations.

01:03:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000578

I believe the capital outlay gap has been one of the major gaps that we have found out right now we have to catch up badly with.

01:03:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000579

And it includes also access to our bases.

01:03:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000580

In terms of the durability of the infrastructure.

01:03:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000581

For example, the roads and bridges that will link our bases.

01:03:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000582

We have found that normal roads and bridges will not be able to support some of the platforms that we have currently because of the weight.

01:03:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000583

So, our mobility is a sacrifice.

01:03:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000584

We cannot really bridge the whole of the Philippines.

01:03:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000585

Yes.

01:03:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000586

So, the best that we can do is to provide hubs, as many hubs as possible, which will support sustained operations.

01:04:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000587

Secondly, Your Honor, just like any other entity in the world right now, it's not a matter of just in time, but a matter of reserves and stores.

01:04:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000588

And that we are busy building up our reserve and stores.

01:04:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000589

Not only in...

01:04:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000590

In terms of munitions, but we need it also in terms of petroleum, oil, and lubricants.

01:04:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000591

We have big notional amounts of petroleum ready, but if we do not have physical custody of this, we will be relying on private gas stations to serve our needs, which is a vulnerability of our operating troops.

01:04:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000593

And it poses difficulties for the troops rather than have them serviced in a durable basis, perhaps up to the battalion level.

01:05:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

The breakdown of regular fund versus...

01:05:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000597

The 2026 and 2027 comparatives, Your Honor.

01:05:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000598

So, we have a slight increase of 6.13% versus last year of 18 billion.

01:05:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000599

But I believe the increase is reflected more in MOOE.

01:05:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000600

Than any other item.

Modernization, Your Honor.

01:06:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000603

2026 was 90 with the programmed of 40 and unprogrammed of 50.

01:06:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000604

This year, 50-50.

01:06:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000606

Pensions.

01:06:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000607

Pensions have increased by 13.15%.

01:06:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000608

Total.

For proposals, Your Honor.

01:06:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000611

Your Honor.

01:06:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000612

Our proposals are...

01:06:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000613

Based on our approximation of threats and costs and sustainability of activities as we plan them based on threats.

01:07:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000614

It's lower by 248 billion compared to the original proposal we made.

01:07:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000615

But this does not include one-time enhancements of...

01:07:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000616

But this does not include one-time enhancements of equipment and capabilities which will balloon the figure to very very high amounts.

01:07:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000617

So, we just included our basic requirements, Your Honor.

01:07:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000618

Next slide, please.

01:07:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000619

Our breakdown shows as follows, Your Honor.

01:07:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000620

Of course, from the Office of the Secretary...

01:07:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000621

Secretary, it's less 16% from what was asked.

01:08:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000622

From the Army, it's less by 23%.

01:08:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000623

Air Force, 24%.

01:08:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000624

Navy, 30%.

01:08:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000625

And GHQ, 82%.

01:08:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000626

And why GHQ?

01:08:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000627

GHQ, Your Honor, includes the area commands,

01:08:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000628

which are the principal operating commands.

01:08:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000629

There are five area commands.

01:08:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000630

And the budget of the area commands come from the GHQ.

01:08:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000631

Our intelligence command, our sustainment command,

01:08:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000632

and importantly, our strategic command,

01:08:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000633

from which our deterrent capabilities will flow,

01:08:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000634

are sourced from the GHQ budget.

01:08:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000635

So this does not mean to say that it is GHQ itself.

01:08:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000636

But the budgets of...

01:08:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000637

NOLCOM, SOLCOM, WESCOM, BISCOM,

01:09:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000638

EASTMINCOM, and WESTMINCOM.

01:09:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000639

These are the operating budgets that come out of the GHQ budget.

01:09:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000640

So the reduction in GHQ

01:09:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000641

will result in a gap of operations

01:09:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000642

by the area commands,

01:09:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000643

which are the principal operations,

01:09:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000644

operating commands.

01:09:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000645

And therefore, if that is the case,

01:09:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000646

then we will have to concentrate the budget

01:09:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000647

on the areas where there is a biggest threat possible.

01:09:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000648

And that will open us to gaps in the other areas.

01:09:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000649

In the government arsenal,

01:09:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000650

there's a reduction of 11%.

01:09:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000651

Pag muna.

01:09:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000652

NDCP,

01:09:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000653

6%.

01:09:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000654

Office of Civil Defense,

01:10:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000655

53%.

01:10:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000656

Philippine Veterans Affairs Office,

01:10:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000657

23%.

01:10:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000658

And Veterans Memorial,

01:10:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000659

it's 61%.

01:10:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000660

But this does not reflect the

01:10:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000661

infrastructure that is going to be sourced

01:10:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000662

from the Office of the President.

01:10:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000663

And for these agencies,

01:10:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000664

they have one-time items.

01:10:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000665

Which for 2025,

01:10:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000666

which increase their budgets,

01:10:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000667

thus the reductions,

01:10:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000668

Your Honor.

01:10:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000669

And with the Veterans Memorial Medical Center,

01:10:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000670

they have trust receipts from the DOTR

01:10:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000671

because of the subway.

01:10:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000672

The AFP modernization,

01:10:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000673

Your Honor,

01:10:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000674

the proposal was 133.

01:10:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000676

Based on the re-Horizon 3 of the modernization program,

01:11:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000677

which has already,

01:11:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000678

it's in the process of being revised again

01:11:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000679

because of increased threats and increased costs.

01:11:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000680

So we once again will appeal,

01:11:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000681

and I think it's pending on the House

01:11:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000682

to already abolish the modernization,

01:11:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000683

modernization law.

01:11:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000684

Because we cannot work on 15-year horizons,

01:11:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000685

Your Honor,

01:11:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000686

which the modernization law provides.

01:11:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000687

It is not a sustainable way

01:11:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000688

of planning your modernization anymore.

01:11:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000689

In a more,

01:11:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000690

for lack of a better term,

01:11:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000691

but to use an economic term,

01:11:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000692

an opportunistic defense market.

01:11:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000693

It is a responsible protected environment.

01:12:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000694

We propose, Your Honor,

01:12:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000695

134 billion,

01:12:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000696

but only 50 billion was included.

01:12:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000697

I think the 50 billion,

01:12:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000698

Your Honor,

01:12:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000699

there is a sort of attachment

01:12:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000700

to the 50 billion amount

01:12:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000701

for the past how many years already?

01:12:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000702

And it was also due to the alignment,

01:12:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000703

perhaps of the revised AFP modernization to the basis conversion law and dividends from that.

01:12:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000704

But we know that the basis conversion BCDA has only remitted a total of 26 billion pesos

01:12:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000705

to the AFP for the past, no, I'm sorry, 45 billion for the past 26 years.

01:12:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000706

So it is not a sustainable way of going forward.

01:13:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000707

And yet it has taken away from us assets which cannot be replicated

01:13:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000708

because of their strategic location and strategic makeup.

01:13:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000709

So I believe that the,

01:13:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000710

the situation cannot be allowed to continue that more military reservations

01:13:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000711

which have to be devoted to national defense are thought of as commercial endeavors.

01:13:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000712

Because at the end of the day, it will not fund your modernization in any significant way at all.

01:13:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000713

As history has...

01:13:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000714

As history has proven.

01:13:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000715

So there are relatively few changes, Your Honor, for the rest of the items.

01:14:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000716

Next slide.

01:14:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000717

For the physical accomplishments, Your Honor, we accomplished 100 percent.

01:14:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000718

Next slide, please.

01:14:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000719

Of...

01:14:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000720

of D&D OSEC policies.

01:14:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000721

And I...

01:14:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000722

I also have to beg the indulgence of everybody here under our department

01:14:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000723

because any new policy causes a headache to them

01:14:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000724

and they would wish that I would not be churning out more and more policies anymore.

01:14:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000725

Sorry.

01:14:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000727

So 80 percent of those policies...

01:14:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000728

80 percent of those policies and strategies were accepted by the President and the Cabinet, Your Honor.

01:14:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000729

Next slide, please.

01:15:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000730

For the AFP, 81% of the tactical units provided force employers.

01:15:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000731

For the Philippine Army, Philippine Air Force 100%, and for the Philippine Navy, 100%, Your Honor.

01:15:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000732

However, I would like to point out that in the case of the Air Force and the Navy, the 100% is not a figure that, of course, for this year and last year, we should be very proud of, but we should be worried if it continues in the future because 100% is unsustainable.

01:15:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000733

That means to say, we are already at max capacity, if not less.

01:15:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000734

So, that means to say that the capacity of the agencies are not enough to sustain the needs of the environment, Your Honor, that we work in.

01:16:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000735

Continue, please.

Next slide, please.

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000737

On the Joint Force Planning Program.

01:16:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000738

Your Honor, 234 plans and programs were accomplished, and for the first semester of this year, there were 117 already accomplished.

01:16:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000739

Most of these, Your Honor, are for joint and combined anticipative actions, training exercises, scenario building, and scoping exercises.

01:16:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000740

On operations, Your Honor, the Joint Force Operations Program for operations, 159 were complied with last year out of 182.

01:17:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000741

And most of these plans were not, the unfulfilled portion was due to natural calamities.

01:17:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000742

Natural calamities.

01:17:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000743

That would, of course, necessitate the diversion of the resources to humanitarian assistance and disaster response.

01:17:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000744

This year, Your Honor, we have already completed 54% of our targets as of the first semester.

01:17:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000745

However, at the end of the year, we expect to complete 100%.

01:17:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000746

Okay.

01:17:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000747

For security operations, of course, Your Honor, in connection with and in cooperation with our civilian law enforcement agencies, there are about 5,900 activities that were covered last year and this year, 3,000, the most important of which are the ASEAN series of engagements.

01:18:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000748

For capability programs, Your Honor, the patients treated by the AFP Medical Center and other station hospitals were 12,000.

01:18:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000749

Accomplishment was 11,000 as of 2025 with 12,000 targets while this year, Your Honor,

01:18:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000750

the

01:18:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000751

since there was a gap last year, we reduced the target level to 10,000.

01:18:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000752

We have already had an accomplishment of more than 50%.

01:18:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000753

Ten signed AFP modernization projects are being implemented, so we have 60%, six have already been accomplished for this year.

01:19:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000754

Last year,

01:19:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000755

last year, there were 10 targets, Your Honor, we accomplished 17 because of the previous year's unfulfilled targets.

DND Assistant Secretary Romeo N. Dela Cruz

asr-000765

Yes, sir.

01:19:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000766

For the government arsenal, Your Honor, 98% is the target this year.

01:20:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000767

Last year, we accomplished only 63% of the target because of the unavailability of propellants,

01:20:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000768

the shortage of propellants,

01:20:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

and other critical components in the international market.

The situation, Your Honor, in the international market now, it is a seller's market.

01:20:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000771

And even though you have fixed contracts, they will willingly pay the liquidated damages and other punitive amounts because of the amounts being offered by other users.

01:20:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000772

Given the several conflicts that are occurring now, both in the Middle East and in Ukraine.

01:20:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000773

Defense and security leaders capacity, Your Honor, 100% of our research papers have been accepted in the same target this year.

01:21:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000774

33% of 53 senior leaders.

01:21:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000775

This is from the DND and AAP.

01:21:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000776

And may I correct this too?

01:21:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000777

It's not only senior leaders.

01:21:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000778

Well, we can say senior leaders too because we opened up the MNSA program to enlisted personnel on the NCO level

01:21:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000779

because their leadership and their critical skills and critical knowledge is just as important as our officer corps.

01:21:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000780

And, Your Honor, there is a growth challenge with the NDCP now

01:21:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000781

because we are in the process of reshaping the curriculum.

01:22:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000782

Knowing fully well that the national security is multidimensional.

01:22:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000783

So, a fixed paradigm of national security as an academic.

01:22:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000784

And therefore, will not help.

01:22:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000785

Therefore, we continue with faculty development, advancing coordination and cooperation with other high-level research agencies, security agencies.

01:22:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000786

Probably, the national security paradigm before worked in an internal security environment.

01:22:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000787

But nowadays, with the different dimensions of conflict.

01:22:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000788

To include cyber conflict and cognitive warfare and who knows what will happen in the future.

01:22:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000789

It is not anticipative enough.

01:22:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000790

The academic output of the NDCP.

01:22:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000791

The teacher to student ratio is still 1 is to 10.

01:23:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000792

But I still want to know the research output of the institution.

01:23:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000793

And that is what I keep on putting.

01:23:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000794

And that is what I keep on pushing them to be doing.

01:23:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000795

Because if they do not publish, they do not produce peer-reviewed publications,

01:23:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000796

then we are not passing our job.

01:23:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000797

We don't pass the test.

01:23:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000798

So, next slide.

01:23:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000800

On OCD, Your Honor.

01:23:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000801

As we said, that 65% of the, we are concentrating right now on response.

01:23:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000802

And we also had to change the view of the minimum required standards for local governments.

01:24:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000803

For example, the Gawad Kalinga Awards.

01:24:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000804

They were even awarding before, awards for more than compliant.

01:24:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000805

But how can you say you're more than compliant when disaster risk reduction is a continuing endeavor?

01:24:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000806

And actually, how can you be more compliant with, for example, an earthquake scenario which nobody knows the outcome?

01:24:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000807

So, a more than compliant rating to me is impossible.

01:24:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000808

So, we abolished that standard and asked them to refocus on the ability to coordinate,

01:24:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000809

to exercise leadership in coordination with the different departments and the local government units.

01:25:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000810

So, even the training for first responders, Your Honor,

01:25:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000811

it should be on a classroom.

01:25:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000812

It should be on a clustered basis as we see the disasters now.

01:25:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000813

Because the paradigm of first responder coming from the affected community,

01:25:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000814

it does not hold water right now.

01:25:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000815

Because how can they respond when two or three municipalities are subject to stress at the same time?

01:25:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000816

So, it needs a different approach.

01:25:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000817

And I give an example.

01:25:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000818

For example, for the Ligtas Pinoy Act, where each town should have an evacuation center.

01:25:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000819

We had a very difficult time right now identifying if that is feasible or not.

01:25:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000820

Each town should have an evacuation center.

01:25:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000821

But in an area, perhaps even outside the physical boundaries of that town,

01:26:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000822

which can support the evacuees.

01:26:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000823

So, we had the first list of approved areas for the Ligtas Pinoy centers.

01:26:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000824

But it will be a continuing challenge for us to identify suitable areas that can accept the quantity of evacuees

01:26:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000825

should a disaster affect one area.

01:26:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000826

An example would be in the Negros area.

01:26:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000827

Ashfall, Your Honor.

01:26:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000828

About four or five municipalities were affected.

01:26:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000829

But the only safe evacuation center would be in another distant municipality.

01:26:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000830

The same area, the same situation with Bicol, when you have a six-kilometer exclusion zone.

01:27:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000831

So, that is a dimension which we are working with.

01:27:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000832

And we will also report the results to Congress.

01:27:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000833

To refine whatever modifications are needed, Your Honor.

01:27:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000834

The rest of the accomplishments, Your Honor, we met 100% of the targets.

01:27:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000835

Next slide.

01:27:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000836

For PIVAW, Your Honor, on the veterans' welfare and benefits.

01:27:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000837

I'll take that, yeah.

01:27:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000838

100%.

01:27:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000839

100% of the target was accomplished because these are regular pensions.

01:27:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000840

And it is only in the efficiency of the payment.

01:27:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000841

On the veterans' affairs management programs,

01:28:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000842

still, it is a question, Your Honor, of getting the number of bona fide accredited veterans

01:28:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000843

or their dependents.

01:28:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000844

So, 57% of the target was accomplished.

01:28:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000845

This is of particular importance, Your Honor,

01:28:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000846

because of a recent phenomenon that,

01:28:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000847

we worked with, with the U.S. government.

01:28:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000848

The U.S. government recently gave a grant to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center

01:28:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000849

because of the prevalence yet of,

01:28:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000850

no, the presence, not prevalence,

01:28:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000851

the presence of tuberculosis among our veterans.

01:29:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000852

We are able only to track,

01:29:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000853

600,

01:29:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000854

six per,

01:29:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000855

how many,

01:29:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000856

there is a gap of 2,000, I believe,

01:29:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000857

that we need to track.

01:29:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000858

And this will only happen, Your Honor,

01:29:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000859

if the PIVAW is adequately tracking our veterans.

01:29:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000860

So, this PIVAW,

01:29:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000861

rather than have,

01:29:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000862

recognition, ceremonies,

01:29:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000863

which are also important,

01:29:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000864

they need to go out in the field right now

01:29:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000865

to scope the number of veterans

01:29:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000866

and to bring them within the VMMC environment

01:29:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000867

so we can adequately track their wellness and their health care.

01:29:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000868

And they have also been tasked to work with

01:30:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000869

the VMMC to

01:30:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000870

build hospices, Your Honor,

01:30:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000871

where our veterans can

01:30:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000872

retire with dignity.

01:30:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000873

A lot of them,

01:30:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000874

as Senator

01:30:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000875

Lacson knows,

01:30:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000876

have been

01:30:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000877

constrained

01:30:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000878

to have an extended

01:30:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000879

period of stay in the hospitals,

01:30:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000880

although

01:30:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000881

they do not need medical

01:30:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000882

care, but they need

01:30:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000883

geriatric

01:30:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000884

care. Why? Because

01:30:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000885

they have no families and nobody to take

01:30:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000886

care of them. And

01:30:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000887

it will be heartless for

01:30:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000888

the doctors in the

01:30:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000889

VMMC to discharge

01:30:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000890

them.

01:30:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000891

So the

01:30:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000892

PIVA was tasked to make this

01:30:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000893

a priority.

01:30:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000894

We have also

01:30:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000895

seen

01:30:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000896

and I have witnessed

01:30:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000897

personally retired

01:31:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000898

officers

01:31:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000899

who, because of

01:31:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000900

the detachment from military

01:31:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000901

life, have

01:31:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000902

lost their

01:31:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000903

social circle.

01:31:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000904

And a lot of them who

01:31:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000905

have been afflicted by

01:31:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000906

age-related diseases

01:31:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000907

withdraw and

01:31:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000908

become

01:31:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000909

you know

01:31:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000910

a

01:31:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000911

are affected and afflicted

01:31:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000912

with self-pity,

01:31:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000913

loss of morale.

01:31:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000914

So they also need

01:31:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000915

their social

01:31:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000916

environment

01:31:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000917

to be able to mingle

01:31:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000918

and to keep their mental

01:31:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000919

wellness intact.

01:31:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000920

So this in

01:31:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000921

connection with the hospices

01:31:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000922

so that we can also support

01:31:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000923

them that

01:31:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000924

in the

01:31:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000925

most vulnerable period of their

01:31:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000926

time when they need us

01:31:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000927

most, we can preserve their

01:32:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000928

dignity, your honor, just like

01:32:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000929

they do in Korea for that matter.

01:32:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000930

Next slide.

01:32:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000931

So for veterans, your honor,

01:32:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000932

the accomplishment

01:32:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000933

as you see is 9,000 patients

01:32:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000934

treated, but this is only 6%

01:32:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000935

because it is in Manila.

01:32:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000936

And the design now,

01:32:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000937

there is a veterans health service

01:32:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000938

that's being

01:32:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000939

before it was

01:32:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000940

solely the veterans memorial

01:32:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000941

medical center as

01:32:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000942

the sole

01:32:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000943

focus of medical

01:32:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000944

care for veterans.

01:32:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000945

That situation is untenable

01:32:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000946

because rather than

01:32:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000947

prioritizing

01:32:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000948

veterans wellness,

01:32:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000949

you prioritize a physical

01:32:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000950

hospital.

01:32:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000951

So it does not serve the

01:32:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000952

purpose, your honor.

01:32:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000953

So we refocus

01:32:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000954

the programs and plans

01:33:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000955

to have

01:33:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000956

the welfare of the veteran

01:33:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000957

first and how we can

01:33:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000958

service that need rather than

01:33:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000959

to maintain a hospital

01:33:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000960

alone, which

01:33:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000961

was the focus of the VMMC.

01:33:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000962

So these targets

01:33:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000963

we hope to increase with

01:33:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000964

the number, your honor, of outpatients

01:33:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000965

treated

01:33:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000966

and with the

01:33:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000967

establishment

01:33:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000968

of new

01:33:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000969

clinics where we can

01:33:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000970

diagnose and treat

01:33:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000971

our veterans throughout the Philippines.

01:33:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000972

There are three already

01:33:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000973

in existence now.

01:33:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000974

So that they do not need

01:33:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000975

to come to Manila anymore.

01:33:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000976

Or to go to private medical centers

01:33:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000977

of which the government

01:33:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000978

has to reimburse.

01:33:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000979

If the public hospitals

01:33:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000980

cannot take care of them.

01:34:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000981

We have three and the reason

01:34:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000982

for three alone, your honor,

01:34:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000983

it is hard to find people

01:34:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000984

to staff the centers.

01:34:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000985

So we continue

01:34:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000986

the recruitment drive

01:34:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000987

and to establish them

01:34:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000988

where we can

01:34:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000989

in collocated with

01:34:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000990

our station hospitals

01:34:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000991

and we want

01:34:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000992

to build an ecosystem on that

01:34:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000993

also for the veterans.

01:34:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000994

The hospice, somewhere else,

01:34:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000995

and then the social homes

01:34:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000996

for our veterans.

01:34:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000997

Eighty-three percent

01:34:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000998

are the target, your honor,

01:34:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-000999

of discharges.

01:34:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001000

Once again, your honor,

01:34:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001001

I have to point out

01:34:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001002

that the last time I reviewed

01:34:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001003

the average hospitalization

01:34:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001004

was 16 days.

01:34:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001005

Because of the fact

01:34:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001006

that there are extended stay veterans

01:34:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001007

who do not have

01:34:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001008

any where else to go.

01:35:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001009

Financial accomplishments, next slide.

01:35:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001010

For 2025, your honor,

01:35:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001011

the appropriations were 448.

01:35:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001012

Allotment was 443.

01:35:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001013

414 was obligated.

01:35:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001014

330 were disbursed.

01:35:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001015

29 was unobligated

01:35:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001016

and 83 unpaid.

01:35:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001017

So obligation versus allotment

01:35:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001018

was 93 percent

01:35:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001019

and payment versus obligation

01:35:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001020

was 79 percent.

01:35:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001021

Next slide.

01:36:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001022

For 2026,

01:36:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001023

the first semester, your honor,

01:36:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001024

the appropriation for this year

01:36:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001025

was 489.

01:36:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001026

Allotment, 406.

01:36:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001027

Obligated is 191 billion.

01:36:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001028

Disbursements, 163

01:36:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001029

for the first semester.

01:36:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001030

Unobligated was 214.

01:36:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001031

and unpaid was 28.

01:36:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001032

So, obligation versus allotment, 47% for the first semester,

01:36:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001033

and disbursement versus obligation, around 85% from last year's 70.

01:36:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001034

Next slide, please.

01:36:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001035

For comparatives, Your Honor,

01:36:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001036

which is the source also of the year-on-year,

01:36:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001037

which probably does not reflect current needs.

01:37:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001038

What is important here is we will see, Your Honor,

01:37:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001039

that there is an increasing trend of both obligations and allotments.

01:37:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001040

Our challenge during the start, Your Honor,

01:37:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001041

was the low approved budget system

01:37:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001042

and the feelings for items that we needed to acquire.

01:37:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001043

And with the inflation catching up, particularly for defense material,

01:37:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001044

we could not obligate the amounts.

01:37:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001045

And it would have been a waste of taxpayers' money to do so.

01:37:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001046

And I discourage the practice of...

01:37:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001047

rushing to obligate just to satisfy the 100% obligation rate.

01:38:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001048

I felt that, you know, let's just give a good reason why it was not obligated.

01:38:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001049

And we refuse to obligate.

01:38:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001050

I particularly refuse to obligate if we're just going to end up with something that is...

01:38:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001051

is...

01:38:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001052

is...

01:38:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001053

something not optimal for us.

01:38:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001054

But it has...

01:38:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001055

particularly for the 2024 and 2025,

01:38:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001056

when there have been very major changes in the nature of the equipment that we need.

01:38:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001057

And we had significant lessons learned...

01:38:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001058

for the supportability and integration and interoperability of platforms.

01:39:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001059

So we required full sustainment to come with acquisitions.

01:39:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001060

And most importantly, guaranteed supply chains and guaranteed interoperability and upgrades.

01:39:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001061

Plus, we required a reserve of at least 30 days of munitions.

01:39:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001062

We...

01:39:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001063

and every platform that...

01:39:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001064

we notionally will acquire.

01:39:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001065

We also had the experience or honor of purchasing bare platforms and the weaponry to follow.

01:39:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001066

I do not think that is a proper way to go, which was why we stopped the practice.

01:39:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001067

However, this results in increased acquisition costs.

01:39:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001068

beforehand because as we know prices just keep on going up so you might as well lock it in

01:40:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001069

at one time and get the whole package guaranteed

01:40:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001070

this also has resulted in the abc's being and being too low for us so it is a continuing

01:40:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001071

challenge your honor with the uh with the greater costs of uh the essential platforms we need

01:40:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001072

of course we have also been investing in mitigation hybrids and you know evolutionary

01:40:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001073

uh platforms however this is part and parcel of a mix that you will need to have

01:40:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001074

once again i reiterate our gaps are infrastructure

01:40:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001075

basic platforms and

01:41:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001076

logistics facilities and support facilities that we will need on a resilient basis

01:41:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001077

next slide

01:41:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001078

issues and concerns your honor uh next slide

01:41:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001079

uh the uh 21 line items we

01:41:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001080

we submitted just to complete programs only three have been approved

01:41:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001081

but this is reflective your honor of the

01:41:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001082

consideration of infrastructure that we need to underscore given the fact that

01:41:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001083

uh we were deprived of

01:41:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001084

infrastructure that were designed really for military use that have been converted

01:42:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001085

So, the unfunded, Your Honor, comes out to about 87, but I do not know after the House, Your Honor, would have submitted to the Senate their version, how much of this would have been answered for.

01:42:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001086

Next slide.

01:42:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001087

For the modernization, Your Honor, minimum of 70 just for re-Horizon 3, but we should see there is still Horizon 2 projects that need to be completed, but we also scrapped, repurposed some of them because a lot of Horizon 2 projects are already obsolete.

01:43:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001088

But this does not include, we have not yet come out, Your Honor, with the recalibration of Horizon 3, which we need to submit to the Senate for the President for approval.

01:43:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001089

The program of 50 billion, Your Honor.

01:43:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001090

If we obligate and contract out all of these, we will need 20 billion more from the current 50 billion that is being proposed just to pay for the continuing multi-year continuing obligational authority, which is why also our obligation rate is low.

01:44:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001091

If we obligate for that year, our payments would balloon and it will be beyond the modernization.

01:44:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001092

Next slide, Your Honor.

01:44:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001093

With the indulgence of the Committee, I will move to the next slide, Your Honor.

01:44:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001094

This one, Your Honor, we already included it last year.

01:45:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001095

In the absence of the amendatory law for the presidential decree, Your Honor, limiting foreign borrowings for defense to 300 million U.S. dollars.

01:45:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001096

We have a bill already pending, Your Honor, to take that limitation out.

01:45:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001097

It allows contracting for foreign loans, grants, and other credit facilities.

01:45:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001098

However, under the control of the Secretary of Finance, Your Honor, we fully understand that this has to be subject to fiscal space limitations.

01:45:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001099

And we fully accept the

01:45:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001100

seniority and the primacy of the Secretary of Finance in these matters.

01:46:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001101

So it has been enacted last year.

01:46:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001102

We did not avail of it, Your Honor, because of the mechanism with the Secretary of Finance.

01:46:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001103

So we appeal for the same flexibility to be enacted this year.

01:46:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001104

In anticipation also, Your Honor.

01:46:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001105

In anticipation also, Your Honor, of the repeal of the 300 million dollar limitation.

01:46:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001106

It is a continuing provision, Your Honor.

01:46:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001107

And we have not availed of it because knowing fiscal space limitations.

01:46:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001108

Next slide, please.

01:46:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001109

This is the last slide, Your Honor.

01:46:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001110

We shall be open to questions.

01:46:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001111

From Your Honors.

01:47:01Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001112

Thank you, Secretary Teodoro.

01:47:04Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001113

But I will ask my colleagues to go and propound questions first.

01:47:09Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001114

But before them, meron lang ano, may patanong lang yung ano, naghahabol kasi mag-media natin.

01:47:14Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001115

Deadline, no?

01:47:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001116

Singit lang ako ng dalawa.

01:47:17Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001117

Sec, habang nagpe-present kayo ng budget kanina, lumabas sa balita.

01:47:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001118

Now, allow me to quote the statement of the DFA Secretary,

01:47:24Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001119

the Department of Foreign Affairs.

01:47:26Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001120

Summoned Chinese Ambassador Jing Kuan on October 19 to convey the Philippine serious concern and strong objection.

01:47:33Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001121

This October 15 public statement which conveyed the threat to use of force.

01:47:37Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001122

So ano ba ang treatment ng DND sa mga ganitong statement ng isang foreign diplomat?

01:47:42Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001123

I know that both of us are subject to ano now, no?

01:47:47Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001124

Being attacked by, I don't know kung itong mga ito, mga tools to.

01:47:53Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001125

I don't know.

01:47:53Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001126

But.

01:47:54Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001127

We are both, we just want to make, we just want to make it clear.

01:47:58Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001128

But that both of us, me and myself and my, the Secretary [unclear], we both studied in Xavier School, both studied Chinese.

01:48:05Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001129

And I'm sure that he, we love our Chinese schoolmates and classmates.

01:48:11Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001130

So it is not the Chinese people just to be straight at the, to set the record straight.

01:48:18Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001131

It's the expansionist.

01:48:24Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001132

It's the stock of Xi Jinping's government.

01:48:27Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001133

So probably, I'm sure just quickly, Secretary Guibo, how does the DND treat this kind of public statement that convey a threat of use of force from the Chinese ambassador?

01:48:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001134

Your Honor, consistent with our earlier pronouncements, number one, we refute all allegations made by the ambassador that we are troublemakers and are provoking.

01:48:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001135

We rate.

01:48:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001136

We reiterate, nulit namin, Your Honor, ang aming pag-suporta at pag-taguyod sa UNCLOS and the UN Charter.

01:49:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001137

Pangalawa, pinahiwatig na po natin ang ating pag-object sa kanyang pananalita.

01:49:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001138

Kasi hindi lang naman isang beses sinabi niyang you lose.

01:49:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001139

Yung pinoportray po ngayon.

01:49:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001140

Ay yung we can use force if we want, but we may win easily.

01:49:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001141

Meron pong isa na sinabi siya na okay, you cut military communications, but you lose.

01:49:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001142

So ibig po sabihin, may pagbabantana po doon.

01:49:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001143

Dalawang beses po niyang sinabi po yan.

01:49:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001144

Ngayon po.

01:49:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001145

Pinatawag na po siya ng DFA, we have to wait, Your Honor, for developments which, of course, the President or the DFA will message to the public at an appropriate time.

01:50:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001146

Pero maliwanag po ang ating pagtutol, hindi lang dito sa statement niya, kung hindi, the more important thing, yung kanilang false narrative.

01:50:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001147

May nine-dash line, may meron silang jurisdiction, pangatlo, yung kanila pong latest narrative na ang Batanes ay part ng China.

01:50:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001148

Kasi meron na daw silang karapatan na mag-operate sa mga karagatan na nagpapalibot sa Batanes.

01:50:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001149

Yan po ay matinding tinututulan at aming pong sinusubukan.

01:50:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001150

Na i-deter yung ganyang klaseng mga behavior.

01:50:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001151

Salamat po.

01:51:00Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001152

Thank you, Secretary.

01:51:02Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001153

Much has been said over the weekend, and I think this is an opportunity to clarify where we stand.

01:51:08Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001154

And we believe in diplomacy, but we also believe in developing good relations with our neighbors.

01:51:13Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001155

Pero siyempre, dapat may respeto sa isa't isa.

01:51:17Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001156

Medyo hindi na maganda ang kanyang mga aksyon at mga pananalita

01:51:24Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001157

na may halong pananakot.

01:51:30Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001158

Very hostile and very undiplomatic.

01:51:34Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001159

And we would like to support our Secretary also.

01:51:38Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001160

Your stand also when you were in Singapore.

01:51:42Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001161

I'd like to commend you for that, for being firm and steadfast in saying that we will protect.

01:51:48Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001162

And we are just protecting our sovereignty and our territorial integrity.

01:51:53Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001163

So...

01:51:54Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001164

Thank you, Secretary.

01:51:55Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001165

Thank you for that.

01:51:56Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001166

Probably our Senate President would like to ask questions.

01:52:01Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001167

Mr. President, I was watching the hearing.

01:52:07Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001168

I was waiting actually in my room.

01:52:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001169

And I saw Senator Lacson was waiting here way, way advanced than both of us.

01:52:14Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001170

So I will yield to Senator Lacson who came in first before we both came in.

01:52:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001171

Yes, Senator Lacson will now propound.

01:52:24Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001172

His questions and concerns.

01:52:25Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001173

Yeah.

01:52:26Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001174

Thank you, Mr. President and Mr. Chairman.

01:52:29Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001175

Yung isang item dito, yung unused appropriations.

01:52:32Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001176

Of course, when we speak of unused appropriations, it is the total of unobligated at saka unreleased.

01:52:40Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001177

For 2024, pag pinagsama yung dalawa, nasa mga 32 billion.

01:52:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001178

32 million.

01:52:50Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001179

Yeah.

01:52:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001180

Billion.

01:52:51Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001181

32 billion.

01:52:53Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001182

2022.

01:52:54Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001183

Wala na ito kasi under the continuing appropriations, 2 years lang eh.

01:52:59Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001184

In 2025, nasa mga 31 billion.

01:53:03Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001185

Again, unobligated and unreleased.

01:53:06Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001186

So what would account for the...

01:53:11Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001187

I think this is huge numbers, 31 billion in unused appropriations for 2025.

01:53:20Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001188

What would account, sir,

01:53:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001188-split-2

are the

01:53:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001189

inflationary pressures dun sa mga kinakailangan po natin i-acquire.

01:53:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001190

At dun naman po sa limited na capital outlay, dahil po sa costings ng materials, umaakyat po yung halaga.

01:53:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001191

Kaya po, kung...

01:53:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001192

Pangantlo po, yung pag ginamit yung ibang items po dun sa unobligated,

01:53:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001193

pag inobligate po, tataas.

01:53:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001194

Tapos pa po yung MICA natin sa amount ng modernization.

01:53:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001195

So, yung fiscal constraints po, and yung pag-costing po ng mga horizons,

01:54:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001196

gumagapang po yung presyo halos araw-araw.

01:54:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001197

So, pag may nakita...

01:54:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001198

Unang-una po, baka dun po sa approved bid ceiling kasi,

01:54:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001199

doon po sa mga reglamento natin,

01:54:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001200

hindi na po...

01:54:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001201

ayun sa presyo na gusto natin.

01:54:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001202

Pangalawa po, yung ating pong patakaran na kailangan po yung platforms are fully weaponized

01:54:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001203

and provided with reserves kasi yun po ang nakikita.

01:54:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001204

Actually, very, very conservative yung reserves natin na 30 days na munitions per platform.

01:54:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001205

Pero alam po natin na humahaba.

01:54:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001206

At hindi na po yung panahon na kailangan po natin na reserba.

01:54:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001207

Yun po ang primary reason po from 2024.

01:55:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001208

Because I remember, at the end of 2023 po,

01:55:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001209

doon pumasok ang ReHorizon 3.

01:55:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001210

Kasi nag-revisa po kami ng kinakailangan, kaya nagbago po ito.

01:55:14Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001211

So, the next relevant question would be,

01:55:18Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001212

how do we resolve this issue?

01:55:19Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001213

Kasi year in, year out,

01:55:21Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001214

ito lagi yung nagiging problem.

01:55:24Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001215

We're trying to catch up, but it seems that we are not catching up.

01:55:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001216

Sir, there should really be a determination to have continuous defense spending increases

01:55:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001217

which will impact the total fiscal picture of the government.

01:55:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001218

I will give an example, Your Honor.

01:55:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001219

Ang Singapore from day one ng panganak niya in 1965 or 66,

01:55:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001220

6%.

01:55:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001221

ng GDP at the minimum ang ginagastos po nila.

01:55:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001222

Tayo po ay sa core defense spending, wala pa po sa dos.

01:56:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001223

Nasasakal na po yung budget natin.

01:56:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001224

I think it should be a determination, Your Honor,

01:56:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001225

na we raise the amount through financing

01:56:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001226

because if we make a determination,

01:56:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001227

nagagastusin lang talaga ito.

01:56:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001228

On the future,

01:56:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001229

for generations,

01:56:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001230

mabuti pa,

01:56:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001231

umpisahan na natin ang tama sa ngayon

01:56:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001232

kesa sa pamahal ng pamahal o pasikip ng pasikip ito.

01:56:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001233

So, I think it is a macroeconomic problem

01:56:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001234

that has to be solved macroeconomically.

01:56:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001235

Pangalawa naman po,

01:56:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001236

nile-leverage din po natin ang alliances natin

01:56:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001237

katulad ng official security assistance ng Japan

01:56:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001238

na 200 million kada taon na US dollars.

01:56:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001239

At FMF financing sa US

01:56:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001240

at sa iba pa pong partners sa Australia at sa Canada in the future.

01:57:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001241

Pero hindi ito substitute po talaga.

01:57:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001242

And I see your point, Your Honor.

01:57:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001243

I think it will go beyond my mandate

01:57:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001244

to view a solution to this problem.

01:57:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001245

The acquisition,

01:57:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001246

the avenues of getting the funds,

01:57:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001247

we can probably remediate,

01:57:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001248

but the repayment is the problem

01:57:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001249

which transcends the D&D.

01:57:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001250

We are really reflecting the realities

01:57:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001251

of the costs that we need.

01:57:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001252

At the end of the day,

01:57:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001253

it's a political decision

01:57:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001254

whether you fund this

01:57:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001255

versus,

01:57:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001256

versus something else.

01:57:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001257

Because it's really a zero-sum game.

01:57:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001258

There's no denying it.

01:58:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001259

That's as best as I can answer

01:58:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001260

our Vice Chairperson.

01:58:08Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

01:58:12Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001263

I'd like to find out from COA,

01:58:14Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001264

are there major procurement issues

01:58:17Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001265

that should merit our attention

01:58:20Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001266

regarding the D&D?

01:58:23Source

COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel

COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel

COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel

asr-001271

in which I am the supervising...

01:58:33Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001272

Not just the OSEC,

01:58:34Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001273

the establishment.

01:58:37Source

COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel

asr-001274

May I call on the other

01:58:38Source

COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel

asr-001275

supervising auditor, Sir?

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001276

Yeah, please.

COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel

asr-001277

For the Armed Forces of the Philippines,

COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel

asr-001278

the General Headquarters.

01:58:49Source

COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel

asr-001279

May I?

01:58:49Source

COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel

asr-001280

Thank you.

01:58:53Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001281

Kaya lang ako concerned kasi so many years ago, same budget deliberation sa DND, meron kami nakitang COA issue na 10 years na hindi pa na-deliver, laging in transit.

01:59:09Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001282

So ang tanong ni Senator Enrile noon, ang tagal naman mag-deliver yan, 10 years pa. Every year, recurring yung issue being raised by COA. So hindi na na-deliver sa end user. So these are the issues that I'm talking about. Kung meron mga parallel or similar issues na dapat i-attend or maybe pwede nang burahin sa libro nyo kasi 10 years, hindi pa dumarating eh.

01:59:39Source

COA Supervising Auditor Norina Rose L. Yao

asr-001283

Good afternoon everyone, Your Honor. Regarding po dun sa deliveries, wala naman po tayong question about po dun sa actual delivery but more on documentation. And ongoing naman po yung retrieval ng mga documents. Yun nga po nandun po tayo sa 10 years.

02:00:00Source

COA Supervising Auditor Norina Rose L. Yao

asr-001284

But, however, yung ongoing coordination naman po is currently conducted po.

02:00:05Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001285

Any other specific issues that you can share with us, with the committee?

02:00:09Source

COA Supervising Auditor Norina Rose L. Yao

asr-001286

Ano naman?

02:00:10Source

COA Supervising Auditor Norina Rose L. Yao

asr-001287

Ano po.

02:00:11Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001288

So, totoo yan ah?

02:00:12Source

COA Supervising Auditor Norina Rose L. Yao

asr-001289

Yes po.

02:00:13Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001290

Okay.

02:00:14Source

COA Supervising Auditor Norina Rose L. Yao

asr-001291

Thank you.

02:00:16Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001292

Doon sa malay na foreign influence and interference, yung security sector, meron ba tayong data and substantiated reports?

02:00:28Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001293

Of actual malign interference by foreign jurisdictions against our country?

02:00:35Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001294

Considering na hindi pa natin ipasa yung amendment ng decades-old anti-espionage law?

02:00:43Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001295

So, how do we confront this kind of a situation?

02:00:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001296

Sir, we can only confront it now if there is a predicate crime that has been committed.

02:00:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001297

Or is...

02:00:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001298

It's in the process of being committed.

02:01:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001299

And what we have seen so far is on the economic sabotage aspect, like money laundering, human trafficking aspect also, Your Honor.

02:01:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001300

And environmental standards plus fake citizenships.

02:01:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001301

However, on the...

02:01:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001302

Activities, actually, sir, that will be maligned, we have information.

02:01:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001303

However, substantiated information is quite difficult given the constraints that we have.

02:01:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001304

Particularly for the connections between influencer and influence.

02:01:58Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001305

Political influence, ano?

02:02:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001306

Political, sir, and others.

02:02:01Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001307

That's part of the malign interference, eh?

02:02:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001308

Yes, sir.

02:02:04Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001309

Yung covert operations na influencing, you know, even the mga GNC, hindi ba?

02:02:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001310

Yes, sir.

02:02:14Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001311

Through social media and all.

02:02:15Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001312

Now, what has happened to the arrests conducted by, I think, the NBI, you know?

02:02:22Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001313

By foreign agents conducting surveillance?

02:02:28Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001314

Surveillance operations sa near Camp Aguinaldo, and then also sa Comelec.

02:02:32Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001315

We asked this during the first committee hearing of the anti-espionage law, yung bill.

02:02:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001316

Yes, sir.

02:02:39Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001317

So, walang feedback, eh?

02:02:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001318

Sir, on the recent disruption operation, it was a Pogo operation.

02:02:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001319

We are still exploiting the recovery.

02:02:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001320

But the important thing is that the...

02:02:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001321

hub was closed down.

02:03:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001322

And about more or less a hundred were taken by the BI.

02:03:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001323

So, they are awaiting deportation proceedings.

02:03:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001324

I think deportation proceedings now are the most effective way of dealing with the persons apprehended.

02:03:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001325

Unless...

02:03:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001326

Yes, they are principals.

02:03:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001327

Because if they are subjected to judicial processes,

02:03:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001328

somehow, sometimes, they are able to continue the activities.

02:03:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001329

It's better that they are gone unless they are principals.

02:03:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001330

For example, Your Honor Alice Go,

02:03:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001331

which was a cut-and-dried case insofar as we're concerned.

02:03:55Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001332

It had nothing to do with the malign interference or...

02:03:58Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001333

Espionage operations.

02:03:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001334

We are still in the process, sir, of...

02:04:01Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001335

Hindi pa na-validate.

02:04:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001336

Hindi pa sir na-validate.

02:04:03Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001337

So far, Pogo yung nakita niyong motive.

02:04:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001338

So far, Pogo, sir.

02:04:07Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001339

Pero ang location niya nakakapagtaka.

02:04:10Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001340

Katulad, parang yung Pogo na na-disrupt sa likod ng DFA noong 2023 or 2024.

02:04:21Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001341

May analysis na doon sa equipment, surveillance equipment that were confiscated.

02:04:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001342

Ginagawa pa sa kasuluku yan, sir.

02:04:28Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001343

Matagal na yun, ah.

02:04:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001344

Last week lang yata, sir.

02:04:31Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001345

No, no. Recent. I think this was one or two years ago.

02:04:35Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001346

I was referring to the arrests made by, I think, NBI yata or PNP.

02:04:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001347

I'm not sure about that, Your Honor.

02:04:45Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001348

I think close coordination should be made with the Armed Forces Intelligence.

02:04:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001349

Yes, Your Honor.

02:04:50Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001350

This could involve national security.

02:04:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001351

However, Your Honor, one constraint.

02:04:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001352

Assuming that there is...

02:04:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001353

Sometimes, what we have encountered in cases that we want to follow up is that to disrupt, to exploit a computer or a device would need a data warrant, another legal proceeding.

02:05:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001354

So, I will find out, Your Honor, about the status kasi marami na po eh.

02:05:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001355

Ang interesting...

02:05:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001356

Ang interesting thing po namin ay tumigil yung operation.

02:05:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001357

Katulad po nung ibang mga na-disrupt natin, hindi naman lang yung fake na or substandard na ginagawa.

02:05:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001358

Kung hindi may [unclear] ito eh, nalabas-pasok ang...

02:05:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001359

Matigil lang po yun.

02:05:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001360

Initially, ay one half of the problem solved.

02:05:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001361

Kasi hindi na pwedeng gamitin yung lugar nalabas-pasok ang kung sino.

02:05:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001362

So, about the devices, Your Honor, I will find out, Your Honor.

02:06:03Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001363

Those arrests that I was referring to, nangyari last year eh, near Comelec and in the vicinity of Camp Aguinaldo.

02:06:11Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001364

And that should tell us a lot, ano?

02:06:13Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001365

Kasi kung Camp Aguinaldo and these are supposed to be foreign agents, then that should be a major concern.

02:06:21Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001366

Threat sa national security.

02:06:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001367

We'll find out, Your Honor.

02:06:25Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001368

Yeah, please.

02:06:26Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001369

And please do something about it.

02:06:28Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001370

Because baka mamaya, may mga reports din tayo, may mga sleeper na, di ba?

02:06:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001371

Yes, sir.

02:06:34Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001372

In the country.

02:06:36Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001373

And this could be tied to the reports of late registration of birth.

02:06:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001374

Yes, sir.

02:06:43Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001375

Ang last count yata, nasa mga 3,000 ba o 5,000?

02:06:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001376

Sir, I'm not sure of the amount.

02:06:48Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001377

Identified, yeah.

02:06:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001378

Yes, sir.

02:06:51Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001379

Identified the personalities na late registration.

02:06:55Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001380

I don't know what's the status now.

02:06:58Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001381

Kung ano na ginawa ng PSA.

02:07:00Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001382

Tinanong rin namin sa PSA ito during the budget deliberation.

02:07:04Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001383

And they're trying to find some remedial measures.

02:07:08Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001384

But, you know, masyado malalim na pag ganyang karami.

02:07:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001385

Malalim na po talaga, sir.

02:07:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001386

At yung iba, second generation na eh.

02:07:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001387

Ang pasok dito ng magulang ay talagang, ano, yung anak naman ang pinag-late registration.

02:07:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001388

Di umano.

02:07:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001389

Si Alice Gu ay ganun din.

02:07:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001390

Pero, meron din nagsasabi na hindi nga ganun ang nangyari sa kanya.

02:07:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001391

Bagong pasok, bagong register.

02:07:42Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001392

Anyway, kindly look into it, Mr. Secretary.

02:07:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001393

Will do, sir.

02:07:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001394

And we'll report to you.

02:07:48Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001395

I will yield the floor to Senator Tulfo or the Senate President, Mr. Chairman.

02:07:55Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001396

Our Senate President.

02:07:56Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001397

Thank you.

02:07:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001398

Thank you.

02:07:58Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001399

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

02:08:00Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001400

I'll start off, Mr. Chairman, with some budgets, some of the items in the 2026 budget.

02:08:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001401

Na-discuss ni Secretary ito kanina, yung sa loan.

02:08:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001402

And I would like to understand how come the special provision wasn't triggered.

02:08:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001403

I think it was...

02:08:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001404

Nalagay natin itong special provision in foreign...

02:08:28Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001405

and domestic financing arrangements.

02:08:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001406

This is an offshoot from an information from the Coast Guard.

02:08:35Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001407

Ang Coast Guard, nakasecure sila ng ODA to buy Coast Guard ships.

02:08:42Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001408

So, last year, we had a discussion.

02:08:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001409

Sabi natin bakit hindi natin gawin the same for the defense, no?

02:08:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001410

Whether ODA or other forms of loans.

02:08:52Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001411

And hence, nalagay natin itong provision.

02:08:54Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001412

But I want to understand, Secretary, how come hindi siya nagamit?

02:08:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001413

Is it too tight?

02:08:59Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001414

Is it not kulang pa sa language?

02:09:03Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001415

May we understand kung ano naging result nito, no?

02:09:07Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001416

It's an innovation, actually, proposed by the Secretary.

02:09:11Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001417

And sabi ko nga, this is a good way of multiplying the financial capacity of the armed forces or the DND.

02:09:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001418

There are basically two reasons, Your Honor.

02:09:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001419

That there's a tight...

02:09:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001420

fiscal space for what we need.

02:09:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001421

Hence, the provision could not be triggered.

02:09:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001422

And secondly, we were not able, insofar as the proposal sent to us,

02:09:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001423

to get the financing in the rate that we want.

02:09:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001424

It was too expensive, Your Honor, for us to trigger.

02:09:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001425

Hence, we did not trigger, Your Honor.

02:09:50Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001426

Pero merong sanong opportunity?

02:09:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001427

Meron, pero mataas po ang financing cost.

02:09:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001428

Hindi lang po mataas.

02:09:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001429

Yung cost.

02:09:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001430

Pero pati financing cost, mataas.

02:10:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001431

It's a timing issue na rin.

02:10:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001432

Timing issue, triggering issue, Your Honor.

02:10:06Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001433

And do you propose to include natin ito ulit sa 2027 budget?

02:10:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001434

It will provide us with the flexibility, Your Honor,

02:10:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001435

until the Presidential Decree limiting the amount of foreign borrowings that we can do for defense

02:10:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001436

to 300 million pesos a year.

02:10:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001437

Is that right?

02:10:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001438

Yes, Your Honor.

02:10:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001439

So, we would request it, very humbly request it again, Your Honor.

02:10:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001440

With the assurance that we will not trigger, Your Honor,

02:10:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001441

unless the Department of Finance is comfortable with it

02:10:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001442

and we are comfortable also with the item that is being acquired.

02:10:45Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001443

With the terms of the financing, no?

02:10:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001444

Yes, Your Honor.

02:10:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001445

Kasi ngayon, admittedly, because of government bonds, everything is expensive right now.

02:10:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001446

Even in India, Your Honor?

02:10:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001447

They increase the yield to 5.13% in government bonds.

02:11:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001448

So, because to defend the Indian currency.

02:11:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001449

So, it's a worldwide phenomenon.

02:11:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001450

Yes, correct.

02:11:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001451

That's actually a reason why peso is weakening because of foreign interest rates.

02:11:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001452

And with critical infrastructure that we need financing to, we understand the mix, Your Honor.

02:11:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001453

But if we find a need that we can fill with the terms that our...

02:11:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001454

We feel, Your Honor, will not be replicated any time,

02:11:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001455

then we will not hesitate to ask the Secretary of Finance to trigger it.

02:11:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001456

How about Secretary ODAs?

02:11:39Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001457

Kasi ODAs are more competitive.

02:11:41Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001458

But I'm not very sure whether that's available for defense equipment.

02:11:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001459

I know they're available for PCG, which is a civilian type of operation,

02:11:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001460

law enforcement type of operation.

02:11:52Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001461

But for defense, I'm not very sure kung available yung mga ganyan sa defense.

02:11:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001462

No, Your Honor.

02:11:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001463

They're not available normally.

02:11:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001464

With Japan, as a matter of fact, there's the official security assistance,

02:12:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001465

which is a grant of 200 million.

02:12:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001466

For the past three years, we were the recipients.

02:12:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001467

But normal ODA financing, which has to conform to OECD and other requirements,

02:12:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001468

still defends.

02:12:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001469

There are some countries that accept it and some none.

02:12:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001470

So the financing for defense are special purpose credit agencies

02:12:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001471

normally tied to exports of the providing country, Your Honor.

02:12:39Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001472

Thank you for that information.

02:12:40Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001473

We'll propose to the Chairman to re-include the special provision for financing

02:12:47Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001474

and for foreign and domestic financing.

02:12:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001475

Thank you, Your Honor.

02:12:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001476

In the same way that we did not trigger this, Your Honor,

02:12:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001477

we did not obligate the full amount of the 50 billion modernization

02:13:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001478

because it will result in a payable of more than the 50 billion this year to about 80.

02:13:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001479

So you're also very conservative in triggering that, Your Honor.

02:13:14Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001480

Thank you, Secretary.

02:13:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001481

And I'm sure kayo, being a finance guy before,

02:13:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001482

kabisado nyo yung mga ganitong impact to our balance sheet.

02:13:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001483

Yeah.

02:13:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001484

I'll go to...

02:13:26Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001485

A related item.

02:13:28Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001486

This is on modernization, Secretary.

02:13:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001487

And this has been a really challenging activity of appropriation

02:13:42Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001488

because malaking amount siya.

02:13:45Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001489

And last year, there was an allocation in the unprogrammed funds of...

02:13:56Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001490

50 billion.

02:13:58Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001491

And na-trigger ba itong unprogrammed funds?

02:14:03Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001492

I just want to understand whether it has been triggered.

02:14:07Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001493

Normally yan, nasa dulo na third, fourth quarter.

02:14:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001494

But I'm not...

02:14:11Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001495

The rationale there is lower down the line items in the unprogrammed

02:14:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001496

para ma-prioritize ka agad yung modernization

02:14:21Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001497

and ma-trigger at mabigay ka agad sa AFP yung ano.

02:14:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001498

But I want to get an update whether na-trigger

02:14:26Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001499

ho siya o hindi.

02:14:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001500

Your Honor, in the same manner as we did not trigger the other items,

02:14:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001501

because it would balloon the modernization payables alone for this year,

02:14:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001502

we did not trigger the unprogrammed.

02:14:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001503

And we could not trigger it because the total of the amount,

02:14:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001504

both programmed and unprogrammed,

02:14:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001505

probably would be the full amount of regular modernization infra

02:14:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001506

just to pay the obligations.

02:14:56Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001507

Okay.

02:14:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001508

So, in other words, it's a...

02:14:59Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001509

available, but the timing is not favorable?

02:15:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001510

Yes, Your Honor.

02:15:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001511

We obligated 84%.

02:15:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001512

The 12% trigger would cause us to exceed the 50 billion threshold.

02:15:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001513

Actually, our payable for MICA this year would be about 70, right?

02:15:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001514

50.

02:15:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001515

But if we trigger the 12%, it will be about 70.

02:15:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001516

That is the constraint, Your Honor.

02:15:28Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001517

Okay.

02:15:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001518

That's why we're not triggering the 12%.

02:15:31Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001519

And because what you said earlier, it's a seller's market.

02:15:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001520

Yes, Your Honor.

02:15:35Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001521

So, mahal ang equipment ngayon?

02:15:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001522

Mahal po ang equipment at pamahal pa ng pamahal

02:15:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001523

because even the raw material inputs sa equipment ay umaakyat po.

02:15:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001524

Critical minerals, semiconductors, electronics, bakal, copper,

02:15:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001525

other inputs, lumalaki.

02:15:58Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001526

So, with what's happening around the world right now,

02:16:01Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001527

yung mga conflicts,

02:16:02Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001528

ang impact niyan is yung presyo ng equipment.

02:16:06Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001529

Tumataas siya at this time.

02:16:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001530

Opo, at saka yung demand po mataas.

02:16:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001531

So, yung presyo po umaakyat.

02:16:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001532

Kasi doon lang po sa munitions,

02:16:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001533

which is not an item of modernization.

02:16:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001534

For 105 and 155 mm ammunition,

02:16:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001535

bumibigyan.

02:16:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001536

Bumibili pa po sa secondary market kung may countries

02:16:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001537

na pwede magbenta ng stock nila

02:16:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001538

para masupply lang doon sa Ukraine or other countries.

02:16:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001539

Or sa Israel, actually.

02:16:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001540

Bumibili nung araw po.

02:16:45Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001541

So, complicated itong situation natin when it comes to defense equipment.

02:16:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001542

Kasi po...

02:16:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001543

Interrelated itong mga conflicts to us.

02:16:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001544

Historically po, after...

02:16:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001545

After...

02:16:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001546

After the fall of the Berlin Wall,

02:17:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001547

in-scale down po yung tooling of production for defense equipment worldwide.

02:17:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001548

Lalo na po sa Europe.

02:17:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001549

So, ngayon, humahabol pa po sila sa capacity

02:17:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001550

just to supply Ukraine insofar as the EU is concerned.

02:17:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001551

So, wala pa po sila sa full capacity.

02:17:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001552

Actually po, ang...

02:17:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001553

ang Germany po ay...

02:17:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001554

If I'm not mistaken, 500 billion euro ang kanyang modernization.

02:17:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001555

Hindi pa niya na uubos po kasi wala pong capacity to produce pa ang kanyang bansa.

02:17:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001556

So, it is also a question po of availability

02:17:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001557

because of limited lines of production.

02:17:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001558

Because of the scale down of defense equipment.

02:17:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001559

The only country, Your Honor,

02:17:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001560

in our environment,

02:18:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001561

in our like-minded environment,

02:18:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001562

that is equipped but not totally equipped

02:18:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001563

to supply 100% of its clients' demands is Korea.

02:18:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001564

Which is why we have a comprehensive strategic partnership with them

02:18:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001565

and joint development with them.

02:18:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001566

They were the only ones...

02:18:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001567

They were the only ones...

02:18:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001568

They were the only ones, Your Honor,

02:18:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001569

never to slow down their production and industrial base

02:18:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001570

for producing defense equipment.

02:18:38Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001571

Ngayon kasi, ano talaga eh.

02:18:40Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001572

I mean, you can see it in the news na

02:18:42Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001573

parang buong mundo.

02:18:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001574

Something's happening in different parts of the region

02:18:50Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001575

and definitely a lot of countries now are stocking up,

02:18:55Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001576

modernizing, increasing their capabilities,

02:18:58Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001577

and, of course, for us who are also modernizing,

02:19:03Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001578

it's with very, very limited resources,

02:19:08Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001579

impacted tayo with those conflicts.

02:19:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001580

Your Honor, may I point out also in ASEAN, for example,

02:19:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001581

Indonesia has ordered 47 new fighters,

02:19:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001582

the top-of-the-line Rafales from France.

02:19:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001583

Malaysia is...

02:19:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001584

It's continuing to expand its capabilities.

02:19:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001585

Actually, they had the missile defense contract

02:19:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001586

which was canceled by, I believe, Finland

02:19:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001587

because they needed to recommit it somewhere else.

02:19:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001588

I'm not sure...

02:19:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001589

No, it's Norway, I think.

02:19:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001590

Even Brunei is buying what we heard

02:19:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001591

is that they are acquiring their first F-50s.

02:19:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001592

So everybody within the region is really building up

02:19:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001593

its own...

02:19:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001594

Its own capabilities.

02:20:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001595

Of course, the outlier there is Singapore

02:20:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001596

because it has always done so

02:20:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001597

from day one of its creation, Your Honor.

02:20:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001598

Secretary, is this a...

02:20:11Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001599

From a policy point of view,

02:20:13Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001600

is this a signal that the whole...

02:20:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001601

the entire world right now is changing

02:20:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001602

in terms of their mindset on defense?

02:20:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001603

Yes.

02:20:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001604

Because it's becoming more volatile in our region,

02:20:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001605

definitely our regions,

02:20:28Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001606

becoming more volatile,

02:20:29Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001607

as we can see in the West Philippine Sea.

02:20:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001608

But in the other parts of the world,

02:20:34Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001609

it's also doing the same.

02:20:35Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001610

I think, Your Honor,

02:20:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001611

it's not only a question of volatility

02:20:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001612

which you will need to deter and to address,

02:20:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001613

but a question also of long-term resilience.

02:20:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001614

Many countries do not want to be faced with a situation

02:20:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001615

where they will not be able to deter

02:20:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001616

with the basic capability and weight,

02:20:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001617

or rely totally on an organization

02:21:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001618

or a conglomeration of countries to come to your aid.

02:21:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001619

If at all it comes to that,

02:21:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001620

you will still have to wait for some period of time

02:21:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001621

before help comes.

02:21:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001622

That's why you have to build up that basic amount of resilience

02:21:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001623

to survive in the meantime.

02:21:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001624

But most importantly, Your Honor,

02:21:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001625

it is also...

02:21:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001626

It is also a reality that a more robust defense setup

02:21:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001627

deters aggressive actions against...

02:21:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001628

And it is a deterrent to aggressive actions and to conflict.

02:21:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001629

More importantly than the need to use it,

02:21:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001630

it is a warning to make an aggressor have a second thought.

02:21:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001631

Before it even attempts to do so.

02:22:02Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001632

Parang yun yung sinasabi ni Trump,

02:22:04Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001633

peace through strength.

02:22:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001634

Yes, Your Honor.

02:22:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001635

It's just like, you know,

02:22:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001636

building a high fence in your house,

It's the same way.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

I'll go to Mr. Chairman.

Do you have any...

02:22:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Yes, si Senator Tulfo wants to interject

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001643

with your indulgence, Senate President.

02:22:28Source

asr-001644

Yes, Mr. Secretary,

02:22:30Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001645

with the indulgence, of course, of our Senate President.

02:22:36Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001646

Sa arap po ng mga pahayag lately po

02:22:38Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001647

ng ambasador po ng China

02:22:41Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001648

at ito patuloy po na tensyon sa West Philippine Sea,

02:22:46Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001649

ano po ang kongkretong paghanda po

02:22:48Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001650

or pwedeng ihanda ng Armed Forces of the Philippines

02:22:51Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001651

para maprotektahan po ating teritoryo,

02:22:54Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001652

mga sundalo at mga mamayan

02:22:56Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001653

sa kabila po ng...

02:22:58Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001654

mindset

02:23:00Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001655

na naitatag

02:23:02Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001656

ng mga dating opisyal

02:23:03Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001657

na isang nuklear lang

02:23:05Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001658

sasabog na tayo,

02:23:08Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001659

na lulusubin tayo,

02:23:09Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001660

na dudurugin tayo.

02:23:11Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001661

Wala naman po tayong ginagawa, di ba?

02:23:13Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001662

Na pag-umalma tayo.

02:23:15Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001663

So, yung mga tao naman,

02:23:18Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001664

kagad sinasabi,

02:23:19Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001665

magagawa natin,

02:23:20Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001666

bubombahin tayo,

02:23:21Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001667

gegyarahin,

02:23:22Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001668

because of these pronouncements before

02:23:24Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001669

ng mga officials natin,

02:23:27Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001670

na parang tumatakot,

02:23:28Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001671

tatak na sa isipan ng mga kababayan natin,

02:23:30Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001672

huwag na lang po tayo magsalita,

02:23:31Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001673

nakakatakot, kawawa tayo.

02:23:35Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001674

Tapos itong recently pa,

02:23:37Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001675

na pailan daw po sila

02:23:39Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001676

ng persona non grata,

02:23:42Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001677

then yung mga opisyal natin,

02:23:44Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001678

hindi nila tatanggapin doon.

02:23:46Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001679

Yung mga opisyal naman siguro na ito,

02:23:48Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001680

I'm sure, wala naman silang interest

02:23:49Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001681

din na pumunta ho doon sa lugar na yun.

02:23:52Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001682

Pero, what kind of preparations are you doing now

02:23:54Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001683

to counter this,

02:23:56Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001684

to allay the fears,

02:23:58Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001685

of the public,

02:23:59Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001686

na bubombahin tayo,

02:24:01Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001687

nuklear, dodorogin, etc., etc.?

02:24:03Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001688

Mr. Secretary?

02:24:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001689

Unang-una po talagang,

02:24:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001690

we're trying our best really

02:24:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001691

to work not only singly,

02:24:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001692

pero with our other allies

02:24:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001693

to deter any more aggressive physical actions

02:24:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001694

on a military sense by China.

02:24:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001695

And it is not only a threat to us,

02:24:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001696

it is also a threat to Vietnam,

02:24:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001697

to Malaysia,

02:24:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001698

and to Brunei,

02:24:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001699

and a threat to Japan,

02:24:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001700

where their actions are equally aggressive,

02:24:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001701

not to the extent that we are facing

02:24:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001702

because of the proximity of

02:24:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001703

800 kilometers away from China

02:24:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001704

to the shores of Palawan

02:24:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001705

in the West Philippines,

02:24:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001706

and South China Sea area,

02:25:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001707

pero sa haba po ng ating

02:25:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001708

boundary sa Pacific Ocean.

02:25:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001709

So, ang kanila pong behavior,

02:25:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001710

hindi lang po sa atin,

02:25:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001711

kahit po sa India,

02:25:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001712

may inaakuna naman sila na lupain.

02:25:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001713

So, pati po ang India,

02:25:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001714

meron na silang karanasan

02:25:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001715

na nagka border conflict na ilang beses,

02:25:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001716

nagiging mas agresibo po sila.

02:25:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001717

So, it stands to reason

02:25:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001718

na although may individual response tayo

02:25:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001719

na dependent,

02:25:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001720

actually more than response po,

02:25:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001721

ang ating dapat gawin

02:25:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001722

is to build deterrence.

02:25:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001723

Magdalawang isip muna,

02:25:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001724

kahit sino,

02:25:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001725

kahit sino,

02:25:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001726

bago tayo guluhin.

02:25:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001727

Kasi maaari nating pasakitin ang ulo nila.

02:25:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001728

At it's not worth it at the end of the day.

02:25:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001729

Pero,

02:25:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001730

so,

02:25:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001731

habang ginagawa po natin yan,

02:26:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001732

a collective deterrence is necessary po.

02:26:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001733

Even with Russia po na napakalakas eh,

02:26:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001734

hindi niya kinaya yung Ukraine

02:26:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001735

kung walang tulong ang North Korea at saka China sa kanya.

02:26:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001736

So, ano pa kaya tayo na mas maliit?

02:26:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001737

Kaya nga po ang mga alyansa natin ay

02:26:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001738

pinagtitibay natin na mabilis.

02:26:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001739

At yan ay ayaw ng China.

02:26:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001740

Kasi siya ang outlier dito eh.

02:26:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001741

Ang outlier po,

02:26:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001742

kasi siyang nagliklaim ng,

02:26:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001743

walang ibang nagliklaim sa buong mundo,

02:26:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001744

yung nine-dash line po niya.

02:26:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001745

At hindi lang po yan eh.

02:26:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001746

Kung pumayag tayo ng nine-dash line ngayon,

02:26:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001747

eto na nga,

02:26:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001748

pati Batanes po,

02:26:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001749

sinasama na po nila yan.

02:26:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001750

Baka hanggang,

02:26:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001751

hanggang kusaan lupalop na umabot ang mga claims nila.

02:26:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001752

So,

02:26:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001753

we are trying our best

02:27:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001754

given fiscal constraints

02:27:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001755

at nakikita naman po natin,

02:27:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001756

Senator,

02:27:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001757

na 100% ang accomplishment

02:27:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001758

ng territorial defense.

02:27:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001759

Pero sinasabi ko na na

02:27:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001760

hindi sustainable to.

02:27:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001761

Kasi yung 100% accomplishment,

02:27:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001762

lagi dapat may gap yan for reserves eh.

02:27:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001763

Kung sagad-sagad po,

02:27:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001764

mauubusan po ng gasolina yan.

02:27:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001765

Figuratively, one

02:27:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001766

day.

02:27:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001767

So we have to build that space

02:27:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001768

on

02:27:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001769

the dimensional size

02:27:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001770

and notional

02:27:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001771

size of

02:27:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001772

our operations. I

02:27:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001773

get the point that

02:27:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001774

the public

02:27:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001775

is also worried

02:27:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001776

as to

02:27:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001777

the ability of the armed forces to defend and protect them. That is why all our actions are calibrated in a manner which we can sustain and not to

02:27:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001778

go beyond an unsustainable

02:27:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001779

manner or

02:27:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001780

an irresponsible manner for

02:28:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001781

that matter.

02:28:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001782

Thank you, Your Honor.

02:28:02Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001782-split-2

Kasi, Secretary, the mindset

02:28:04Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001783

was, gigirahin tayo.

02:28:06Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001784

Nauna po eh.

02:28:08Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001785

Gigirahin tayo, bubombahin tayo.

02:28:11Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001786

Pag tayo,

02:28:12Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001787

we stand up against China.

02:28:14Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001788

I'm not saying naggirahin natin dahil

02:28:15Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001789

truly, wala namang tayong capability

02:28:18Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001790

but then standing up,

02:28:20Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001791

I mean, holding our line,

02:28:22Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001792

hindi naman siguro tayo bubombahin

02:28:24Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001793

kasi sabi po na iba,

02:28:25Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001794

bubombahin tayo. Tapos, would you agree

02:28:28Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001795

with me, sir, na nakumukuha

02:28:29Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001796

ng lakas ng loob itong China because

02:28:31Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001797

there is some officials in this land

02:28:34Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001798

they're saying na tayo, parang tayo pa

02:28:35Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001799

ang may kasalanan and then supportado

02:28:38Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001800

sila ng isang grupo, probably

02:28:39Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001801

grupo ng mga trolls. Could that be the reason

02:28:42Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001802

kaya lumalakas ang loob po

02:28:43Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001803

ng Chinese ambassador, Mr. Secretary?

02:28:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001804

Maari pong isa na sa

02:28:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001805

rason yan kasi the best

02:28:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001806

way to weaken

02:28:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001807

your enemy is to

02:28:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001808

foment internal dissension

02:28:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001809

in an area

02:28:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001810

which you want to

02:29:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001811

compromise

02:29:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001812

or to co-opt. Maari pong

02:29:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001813

malakas na dahilan yan

02:29:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001814

at actually

02:29:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001815

the

02:29:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001816

gaslighting

02:29:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001817

is one of the worst

02:29:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001818

things that

02:29:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001819

we can

02:29:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001820

experience at this time.

02:29:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001821

Lalo-lalo na po

02:29:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001822

in the face of

02:29:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001823

a blatant statement

02:29:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001824

by the Chinese ambassador, pag may

02:29:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001825

nagtatanggol pa dyan, talagang

02:29:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001826

halatang-halatana naman ho na

02:29:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001827

hindi po

02:29:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001828

makatwiran

02:29:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001829

ang kanilang posisyon.

02:29:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001830

Pero meron po talaga, we cannot deny it.

02:29:44Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001831

Yes, before

02:29:45Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001832

Senator Lackson

02:29:48Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001833

would like to interject.

02:29:50Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001834

With his permission, Mr. Chairman,

02:29:51Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001835

there seems to be a glaring discussion

02:29:53Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001836

about the disparity

02:29:54Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001837

on our defense spending

02:29:56Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001838

compared to our regional peers,

02:29:58Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001839

particularly China.

02:30:01Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001840

Kasi yung kanilang defense expenditure is 52 times ng Pilipinas.

02:30:07Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001841

Sa kanila, 335 billion US dollars or roughly 2.1 trillion pesos.

02:30:14Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001842

So how do we compensate? How do we do a David against a Goliath in this regard?

02:30:21Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001843

Kasi wala naman tayo magagawa except mag-improvise, hindi ba?

02:30:24Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001844

So meron ba tayong plano man lang?

02:30:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001845

Sir, the best way is to make ourselves an uninviting target.

02:30:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001846

The hard part there is that an uninviting target would mean only our land domain,

02:30:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001847

which is only 20% of our total territory, 20 to 30%.

02:30:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001848

However, for the land domain to be resilient, we need full expansion.

02:30:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001849

Exploitation and exploration of the 80% maritime domain.

02:31:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001850

So yun ho ang nagpapakomplicate ng situation.

02:31:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001851

Pero I believe ho that with the X billion reported by China,

02:31:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001852

this is even understated because a lot of the budget does not go to the PLA

02:31:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001853

but to the maritime militia, the Coast Guard, which are basically under the PLA.

02:31:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001854

But not officially reported.

02:31:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001855

So there is no substitute ho but to build a level of resilience

02:31:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001856

which will make it very unattractive for them.

02:31:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001857

There are ways ho and we can also in executive sessions share some thoughts on it, Your Honors.

02:31:49Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001858

Can I see how we can match China, for example, sa mga warships, missiles?

02:31:55Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001859

Wala tayo.

02:31:55Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001860

Wala tayong verwidal.

02:31:57Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001861

Let's accept the fact.

02:31:59Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001862

So kailan mag-improvise tayo.

02:32:01Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001863

Like what Ukraine is doing against Russia, for lack of a better analogy,

02:32:07Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001864

baka we should also embark on a similar program na less costly pero effective.

02:32:15Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001865

And we can match.

02:32:15Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001866

Aside from, of course, our alliances, mutual defense treaties, yung ating SOPA,

02:32:22Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001867

and sabi nyo nga kanina, yung kapapasalamang na treaties,

02:32:25Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001868

treaty with France.

02:32:27Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001869

So aside from that, but we cannot solely rely on our allies.

02:32:33Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001870

Kasi they have their own national interests to contend with.

02:32:37Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001871

In the first place, yung France, medyo magulo.

02:32:39Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001872

So kailan mag-improvise tayo and I hope we are on the same page on this.

02:32:46Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001873

We cannot just divulge.

02:32:48Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001874

Yung ongoing programs natin.

02:32:50Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-001875

But I was told that there is such a program.

02:32:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001876

Meron, sir.

02:32:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001877

Ongoing.

02:32:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001878

Meron po.

02:32:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001879

At kaya po, mire-focus na natin si Director Amano sa higher capabilities na pwede natin gamitin based on Ukraine.

02:33:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001880

Ang maganda din pong halimbawa dito ay yung Vietnamese experience.

02:33:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001881

Na talagang matatag din ang tayo nila sa China.

02:33:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001882

At ginera na sila nung araw at hindi umubra.

02:33:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001883

Yun nga lang, iba talaga yung make-up ng Vietnamese society kesa sa atin.

02:33:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001884

Sanay naman talaga sila sa...

02:33:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001885

Yun ang balakid po sa atin.

02:33:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001886

Kaya kailangan ho its deterrence rather than retaliation.

02:33:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001887

And that's why ho in our alliances,

02:33:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001888

we are focusing on the non-retaliatory features of...

02:33:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001889

of our defense alliances.

02:33:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001890

But focusing on the deterrence portion po.

02:34:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001891

We will never match China in terms of pound-for-pound capability.

02:34:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001892

But we will make the decision calculus as unfavorable to it as possible.

02:34:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001893

That is the goal, Your Honor.

02:34:16Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001894

Thank you.

02:34:16Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001895

Well, my last question, Mr. Secretary.

02:34:18Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001896

Last year, or just this year po,

02:34:21Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001897

when I was the Chairman of the Foreign Relations,

02:34:23Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001898

I was able to talk to

02:34:24Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001899

two or three

02:34:25Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001900

ambassadors,

02:34:26Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001901

foreign nations.

02:34:26Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001902

I believe,

02:34:27Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001903

yung isa po,

02:34:27Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001904

nakausap nyo na yung si Ukraine.

02:34:30Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001905

They are willing to put up a factory here,

02:34:33Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001906

maintenance,

02:34:34Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001907

et cetera.

02:34:35Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001908

Matter of fact,

02:34:36Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001909

they're interested po dyan sa may Cavite

02:34:38Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001910

to help us with the drones.

02:34:45Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001911

Have you also spoken to those diplomats?

02:34:48Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001912

Then to other European countries,

02:34:51Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001913

very interested and willing to come here,

02:34:54Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001914

to invest actually,

02:34:55Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001915

provided that we purchase their equipments,

02:34:58Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001916

yung mga drones, sea and air.

02:35:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001917

Marami na po, Your Honor.

02:35:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001918

And we are actually, some of those are in the final stages of scoping the engagement.

02:35:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001919

Once again, all of these engagements, Your Honor,

02:35:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001920

will number one place is access securely and location and supply chains, Your Honor.

02:35:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001921

We are pursuing, Your Honor,

02:35:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001922

to the best of our ability on a secure basis.

02:35:33Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001923

Tama po.

02:35:33Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001924

Kasi kung titusin, sir,

02:35:34Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001925

hindi po natin kaya bumili ng mga frigates and aircraft carriers, submarines.

02:35:40Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001926

Then may options po tayo ng mga ikang mga drones.

02:35:43Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001927

Sir, one last question.

02:35:45Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001928

I was just wondering,

02:35:45Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001929

may mga donations po tayo ng mga drones sa America, other countries.

02:35:49Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001930

Whatever happened to these drones?

02:35:51Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001931

Nagagamit po ba natin?

02:35:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001932

Limited po ito. Sa

02:35:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001933

lahat po ng

02:35:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001936

dinownload nila, nagagamit.

02:35:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001937

Ang iba pong hindi nagagamit, yung nabili nung araw,

02:36:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001938

na hindi po nag-fifit sa ating bagong C4 Command and Control Secure Communication Structures.

02:36:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001939

So, mula nung nagumpisa po tayong kumuha ng drones,

02:36:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001940

ang environment nun ay purely tactical.

02:36:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001941

So, sa ngayon po, nagiging strategic yung environment.

02:36:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001942

Kaya, kailangan po enhanced ang interoperability po nito.

02:36:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001943

So, that is where we are proceeding right now.

02:36:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001944

There are uses, ho, tactically for drones and they are being used.

02:36:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001945

However, for the bigger picture, ho, we need more multi-purpose drones

02:36:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001946

and we need the facility for quality raw materials

02:36:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001947

for this and

02:36:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001950

Actually, precision tooling for it.

02:36:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001951

It's the precision, ho, na kailangan, eh.

02:37:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001952

And, when we learn from the Korean experience,

02:37:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001953

ang kanilang modernization started in 1976

02:37:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001954

when the United States said, hindi na nila susuportahan.

02:37:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001955

But, the defense industry was only an offshoot of basic industry.

02:37:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001958

Your Honor.

02:37:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001959

Because they had basic industry already,

02:37:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001960

which would support the ecosystem for sustainability in the defense industry.

02:37:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001961

Steel, electronics, and other capabilities.

02:37:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001962

If we do not also remediate basic industry, Your Honor,

02:37:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001963

for example, the raw materials, secondly, power,

02:37:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001964

we will be constrained to being an assembly location

02:38:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001965

also reliant on importation for our outputs.

02:38:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-001966

So, we have to really structure it properly, Your Honor.

02:38:16Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001967

Thank you, Secretary and Mr. Chair. Thank you.

02:38:18Source

Senator Erwin T. Tulfo

asr-001968

Thank you, our Senate President.

02:38:20Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001969

Thank you, Senator Erwin, for those interventions.

02:38:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001970

Thank you, Mr. President.

02:38:23Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001971

Thank you.

02:38:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001972

I will continue.

02:38:25Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001973

Sekretary, yung points ni

02:38:27Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001974

Senator Erwin at ni Senator Ping.

02:38:29Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001975

Another way is

02:38:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001976

forging alliances with like-minded

02:38:33Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001977

countries. And this

02:38:34Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001978

last few months, na-approve

02:38:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001979

dito sa Senado yung treaty

02:38:38Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001980

for SOVA

02:38:41Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001981

in State of Visiting Forces

02:38:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001982

Agreement with New Zealand

02:38:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001983

and also with

02:38:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001984

France. So dalawa po yung

02:38:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001985

na-approve.

02:38:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001986

And Canada pala. And Canada.

02:38:52Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001987

Tatlo. Are we looking at

02:38:54Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001988

more of these arrangements in the

02:38:56Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001989

next coming weeks? Kasi

02:38:58Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001990

ano ito eh? Kung hindi

02:39:00Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001991

natin, kung

02:39:01Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001992

challenge siya atin

02:39:04Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001993

ni modernization, at least in

02:39:06Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001994

training and interoperability

02:39:08Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001995

na-enhance with other nations.

02:39:10Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001996

And this is also a signal

02:39:12Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001997

or a message that these

02:39:14Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001998

nations agree with our position in

02:39:16Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001999

defense and also geopolitics.

02:39:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002000

Your Honor,

02:39:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002001

there are two more in the pipeline.

02:39:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002002

I hope this can be concluded

02:39:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002003

as soon as possible.

02:39:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002004

And

02:39:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002005

in the other countries

02:39:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002006

where we have visiting forces

02:39:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002007

with, for purposes

02:39:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002008

of scoping, we also

02:39:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002009

now, that's why we need

02:39:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002010

the MOE participate

02:39:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002011

in exercises outside

02:39:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002012

the Philippines.

02:39:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002013

For example, Your Honor, I give

02:39:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002014

an example, the Philippine Navy,

02:39:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002015

the Philippine Army

02:39:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

participates in

02:39:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002017

exercise, I forgot,

02:39:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002018

I cannot pronounce the name in

02:39:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002019

Australia.

02:40:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002020

Karubaru, which

02:40:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002021

is an army exercise.

02:40:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002022

The Navy participated

02:40:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002023

in the U.S. RIMPAC

02:40:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002024

exercise for the first time

02:40:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002025

together with the Coast Guard.

02:40:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002026

And the Air Force

02:40:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002027

participated in exercise

02:40:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002028

pitch black in

02:40:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002029

Australia, Your Honor,

02:40:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002030

which actually

02:40:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002031

because of the

02:40:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002032

enhancement

02:40:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002033

to the F-A-50

02:40:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002034

that we made,

02:40:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002035

the Philippine Air Force

02:40:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002036

was able to

02:40:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002037

interoperate with

02:40:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002038

21 other countries

02:40:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002039

and for the first time lead

02:40:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002040

a strike package.

02:40:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002041

And that needs a different

02:40:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002042

level of qualification.

02:40:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002043

So two of

02:40:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002044

our

02:40:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002045

F-A-50 pilots,

02:40:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002046

our strike package

02:40:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002047

leaders, and more importantly,

02:40:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002048

Your Honor, which is

02:40:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002049

why

02:40:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002050

the ecosystem is important.

02:41:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002051

Everything was

02:41:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002052

controlled from the ground.

02:41:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002053

No voice anymore. It was all

02:41:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002054

keyboard. So

02:41:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002055

we have graduated and

02:41:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002056

certified our first set

02:41:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002057

of battle managers that are

02:41:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002058

qualified to

02:41:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002059

orchestrate

02:41:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002060

international air operations.

02:41:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002061

And the

02:41:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002062

we will continue to deploy them

02:41:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002063

because we cannot allow them to

02:41:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002064

lose that proficiency.

02:41:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002065

It is a constant exercise.

02:41:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002066

So that

02:41:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002067

that is another dimension,

02:41:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002068

Your Honor, our participation

02:41:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002069

in foreign shores,

02:41:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002070

which builds us the confidence

02:41:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002071

also of operating

02:41:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002072

in an extended environment,

02:41:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002073

stretching also our logistics

02:41:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002074

capabilities. For example, Your Honor,

02:41:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002075

in Australia,

02:41:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002076

we have to deploy about

02:41:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002077

200 personnel and

02:42:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002078

support them.

02:42:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002079

And we

02:42:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002080

continue to gain

02:42:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002081

confidence and experience

02:42:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002082

and knowledge

02:42:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002083

also

02:42:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002084

in these exercises.

02:42:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002085

So when we operate

02:42:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002086

outside, even on VFA,

02:42:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002087

We get to scope also the fit for a future VFA for us.

02:42:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002088

The Philippine Marine Corps also participates also in exercises abroad

02:42:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002089

and I have been encouraging them to participate elsewhere with like environments

02:42:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002090

so that they can understand also better the operating environment

02:42:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002091

and even the equipment, Your Honor.

02:42:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002092

Because we cannot hope to replicate our bigger country partners also in terms of deployment.

02:43:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002093

For example, one marine expeditionary unit of the United States for an exercise here,

02:43:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002094

the pre-deployment is already almost a billion dollars.

02:43:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002095

We can never hope to approximate that.

02:43:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002096

But nonetheless, there are partner, the doctrine of, they deploy in force.

02:43:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002097

They will never deploy in a force package that is less than their doctrine

02:43:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002098

and that goes for the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy.

02:43:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002099

That's why a carrier, for example, Your Honor, is always a carrier group

02:43:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002100

which has its own air group, its own small country,

02:43:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002101

so it's also a question right now of scoping the best fit wherever in the world right now.

02:43:56Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002102

Secretary, and you mentioned there are three more coming in.

02:43:58Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002103

Are you at liberty to share with us kung sino pa yung mga...

02:44:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002104

Negotiations are going on now, Your Honor, with the U.K.

02:44:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002105

With Germany, I think we're going to have one.

02:44:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002106

But there is another country, Your Honor, where we sent a first draft

02:44:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002107

and they would rather...

02:44:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002108

I not disclose publicly until the process.

02:44:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002109

But that third country is extremely important to us.

02:44:25Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002110

So bring us to how many SOVA treaties?

02:44:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002111

So five plus three, eight, Your Honor.

02:44:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002112

Eight na.

02:44:33Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002113

Thank you, Secretary.

02:44:36Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002114

Secretary, I'll go to some items in the 2026 budget

02:44:40Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002115

so we'll understand if we will continue this concept

02:44:45Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002116

in the 2026 budget.

02:44:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002119

In the 2027 budget...

02:44:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002120

In 2026, for locally funded infrastructure,

02:44:52Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002121

mayron 6.9 billion pesos.

02:44:56Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002122

And if you remember last year, this was from the...

02:44:59Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002128

DPWH transfer namin to

02:45:02Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002129

to DND, amounting to

02:45:06Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002130

5.4 billion pesos because

02:45:07Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002131

nakita natin maraming mga

02:45:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002132

projects doon, hindi alam nung mga

02:45:12Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002133

mga end

02:45:14Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002134

users or

02:45:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002135

nadidelay or kulang yung pondo

02:45:17Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002136

hindi nako-coordinate

02:45:19Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002137

mabuti so we transferred it to

02:45:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002138

to

02:45:24Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002139

the DND

02:45:26Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002140

How is that experience?

02:45:30Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002141

Because that is

02:45:32Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002142

again a

02:45:34Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002143

reform that we instituted

02:45:36Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002144

in 2026

02:45:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002145

of course with

02:45:39Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002146

coordination with the DND

02:45:42Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002147

but is that more efficient

02:45:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002148

in terms of finishing

02:45:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002149

the projects?

02:45:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002150

I believe it is more efficient

02:45:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002151

your honor in finishing the projects

02:45:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002152

but if we will revisit

02:45:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002153

the whole episode

02:45:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002154

it is

02:45:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002155

also the lack of an

02:45:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002156

infrastructure plan

02:46:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002157

of the armed forces

02:46:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002158

of the Philippines and because

02:46:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002159

of the fact your honor that capital

02:46:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002160

outlay allocations

02:46:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002161

have not been funded

02:46:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002162

to the extent we require

02:46:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002163

so what happened were

02:46:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002164

different units your honor

02:46:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002165

had to

02:46:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002166

had to

02:46:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002167

request

02:46:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002168

for their own peculiar

02:46:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002169

infrastructure needs

02:46:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002170

so

02:46:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002171

the TICAS experience

02:46:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002172

are small projects

02:46:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002173

that are asked for by units

02:46:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002174

with

02:46:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002175

with

02:46:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002176

the DPWH

02:46:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002177

and the

02:46:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002178

budget at that time

02:46:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002179

but now your honor I think

02:46:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002180

the actual remediation

02:46:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002181

is an infrastructure

02:46:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002182

program and plan

02:46:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002183

so that we have standards

02:46:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002184

qualities

02:46:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002185

and

02:46:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002186

actual

02:46:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002187

well thought of

02:47:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002188

areas

02:47:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002189

up to the battalion level

02:47:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002190

at least your honor

02:47:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002191

we had this perennial

02:47:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002192

problem really of

02:47:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002193

an offshoot

02:47:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002194

of

02:47:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002195

a question of

02:47:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002196

tenure

02:47:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002197

of the areas

02:47:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002198

which is why also

02:47:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002199

we are busy tightly

02:47:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002200

building all the lands

02:47:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002201

so we can

02:47:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002202

spend properly for quality

02:47:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002203

infrastructure in areas that we need

02:47:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002204

and I believe

02:47:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002205

a lot of the

02:47:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002206

TICAS projects

02:47:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002207

were offshoots of this

02:47:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002208

but now we have a more

02:47:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002209

disciplined infrastructure

02:47:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002210

program your honor

02:47:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002211

that we have minimum standards

02:47:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002212

and locations and areas

02:47:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002213

and moving forward

02:47:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002214

your honor

02:48:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002215

I think that is the greater

02:48:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002216

managerial remedy

02:48:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002217

to the phenomenon

02:48:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002218

some were really needed

02:48:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002219

your honor

02:48:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002220

for example

02:48:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002221

which is

02:48:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002222

in camps

02:48:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002223

that

02:48:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002224

have significant presence

02:48:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002225

I think

02:48:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002226

the phenomenon is also

02:48:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002227

a

02:48:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002228

not confined

02:48:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002229

to the armed forces

02:48:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002230

but also to the police force

02:48:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002231

for example

02:48:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002232

a lot of camps

02:48:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002233

of the police force

02:48:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002234

are still AFP

02:48:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002235

PNP

02:48:42Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002236

joint camps

02:48:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002237

and that is still an issue

02:48:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002238

which we have to resolve

02:48:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002239

with the PNP also

02:48:48Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002240

nonetheless your honor

02:48:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002241

for example

02:48:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002242

I have already

02:48:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002243

instructed also

02:48:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002244

the AFP

02:48:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002245

our SOLCOM headquarters

02:48:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002246

in Lucena

02:48:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002247

and I think that is a very important thing

02:48:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002248

it's quite small

02:49:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002249

for what we need

02:49:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002250

even the tactical operations group

02:49:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002251

there is so tight

02:49:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002252

that we need to look

02:49:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002253

for adequate locations

02:49:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002254

in areas that will really

02:49:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002255

address the requirements

02:49:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002256

so actually it is

02:49:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002257

infrastructure discipline

02:49:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002258

and project execution

02:49:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002259

your honor

02:49:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002260

the project execution gap

02:49:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002261

and execution gaps

02:49:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002262

have been the number one

02:49:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002263

bane of the armed forces

02:49:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002264

which we have to do

02:49:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002265

which we are trying to remedy

02:49:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002266

managerially already

02:49:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002267

your honor

02:49:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002268

it's painful

02:49:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002269

but we need to do it

02:49:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-002270

your honor

02:49:34Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002271

Secretary

02:49:36Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002272

the reason why I ask

02:49:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002273

kasi for 2027

02:49:38Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002274

nakita namin sa

02:49:41Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002275

DPWH budget

02:49:42Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002276

meron pang

02:49:43Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002277

meron pang

02:49:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002278

494 million

02:49:46Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002279

pesos

02:49:48Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002280

related to

02:49:50Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002281

the DND or AFP

02:49:53Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002282

of which

02:49:55Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002283

452 million

02:49:57Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002284

is for the

02:49:58Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002285

PSRG barracks

02:50:00Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002286

in Manila

02:50:02Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002287

so the point

02:50:04Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002288

I'm trying to make is

02:50:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002289

going by what we did

02:50:08Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002290

in 2026

02:50:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002291

we're also thinking of doing the same

02:50:12Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002292

in 2027 so that

02:50:14Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002293

the

02:50:15Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002294

DND and the AFP

02:50:18Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002295

will have

02:50:19Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002296

more cohesive

02:50:22Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002297

coordination

02:50:23Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002298

with the end users

02:50:25Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002309

minsan kulang

02:50:39Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002310

so we saw another item

02:50:41Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002311

in the

02:50:42Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002312

in the DPWH budget

02:50:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002314

asr-002318

452 million

02:50:51Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002319

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002320

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002974

but

02:59:41Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002975

this will

02:59:42Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002976

ito yung medyo

02:59:43Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002977

kahit pa pano

02:59:44Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

magdadalawang

02:59:45Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002979

isip yung

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002980

even a

02:59:47Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002982

like China

02:59:48Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002983

if we have

02:59:50Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002984

this in our

02:59:50Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002985

arsenal

02:59:51Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002986

with

asr-002987

kahit pa pano

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002988

magiging

02:59:55Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002989

this will serve

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002990

as a deterrent

02:59:56Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002991

so

02:59:56Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002992

will this

02:59:57Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002993

foreign

02:59:58Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002994

asr-002997

allow you to be able to pursue all of these

03:00:02Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002998

itong mga

03:00:03Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002999

programs or projects that have been

03:00:06Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003000

very difficult to

03:00:08Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003001

attain because of

03:00:10Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003002

our limited funding

03:00:12Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003003

so itong foreign domestic

03:00:13Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003004

financing agreement

03:00:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003005

We cannot say Your Honor that there's a one-to-one

03:00:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003006

correlation but

03:00:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003007

it will allow us the flexibility

03:00:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003008

to get funds if

03:00:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003009

and when we need it

03:00:26Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003010

extremely and let

03:00:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003011

me also refer Your Honor

03:00:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003012

yung domestic financing

03:00:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003013

the reason na nilagay natin

03:00:34Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003014

ang domestic financing although

03:00:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003015

normally dollar denominated

03:00:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003016

ang purchases

03:00:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003017

because we

03:00:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003018

we

03:00:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003019

found out during

03:00:46Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003020

initial

03:00:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003021

our initial foray into the

03:00:50Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003022

department that there is liquidity

03:00:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003023

in the banking system

03:00:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003024

for defense loans

03:00:56Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003025

may liquidity po

03:00:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003026

kasi nga

03:00:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003027

yung

03:01:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003028

after the pandemic

03:01:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003029

yung loans

03:01:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003030

ay ano at ito

03:01:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003031

mababa ang risk

03:01:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003032

of default kasi nga

03:01:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003033

sobrin borrowing to

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003035

domestic banking institutions

03:01:18Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003036

kung

03:01:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003037

nararapat lang ang mga terms

03:01:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003038

ng repayment natin at hindi

03:01:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003039

maka-apekto sa

asr-003040

balance of payments po natin

03:01:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003041

at saka sa revenue

03:01:29Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003042

then also we notice do na

03:01:34Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003043

medyo tumasa 7.2

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003092

Secretary, I've heard in the news

03:03:18Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003094

Japan

03:03:22Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003095

last April with

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003096

Senator Zubiri and we also

03:03:26Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003097

had a chance to meet

03:03:28Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003098

the former Prime Minister

03:03:30Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Fumio Kishida and likewise

03:03:32Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003100

yung kaibigan nyo rin po

03:03:33Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003101

the very young and

03:03:36Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003102

dynamic

03:03:37Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003103

Defense Secretary

03:03:39Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003104

Defense Minister, si Koizumi

03:03:41Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003105

and sends his regards

03:03:43Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003106

and they said you have very good

03:03:45Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003107

conversations

03:03:48Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003108

anyway

03:03:50Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003109

they mentioned

03:03:51Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003110

they are about to

03:03:54Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003111

turn over about 5 or 6

03:03:56Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003112

yung ating destroyer

03:03:58Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003113

tanong ko lang kung yung maintenance

03:04:00Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003114

na sinama nyo

03:04:01Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003115

are we going to

03:04:03Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003116

to factor in yung mga ano

03:04:05Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003117

in case

03:04:06Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003118

matuloy itong transfer

03:04:08Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003119

of the Abacuma class destroyers

03:04:10Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003120

of course that would need

03:04:11Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003121

that would entail

03:04:12Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003122

maintenance and other expenses

03:04:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003123

para sa pag ano lang

03:04:16Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003124

did you include this already in the budget

03:04:18Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003125

Secretary?

03:04:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003126

For the training included pa ho

03:04:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003127

dahil nung pre-repair po yung budget

03:04:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003128

hindi pa po na firm up yung

03:04:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003129

agreement to transfer

03:04:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003130

so yung

03:04:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003131

additional maintenance

03:04:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003132

and operating expenditures

03:04:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003133

hindi pa po

03:04:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003134

kaya may habol po namin

03:04:39Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003135

I'm hoping this pushes through

03:04:41Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003136

because I think this will

03:04:43Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003137

definitely

03:04:45Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003138

strengthen our assets

03:04:47Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003139

kasi even if we have the money

03:04:49Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003140

it takes 4 to 5 years to build

03:04:51Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003141

to order a vessel

03:04:53Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003142

pero at least ito kahit papano nandiyan na

03:04:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003143

yes sir

03:04:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003144

there's going to be an inspection

03:04:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003145

at the end of November

03:05:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003146

and we hope we can finalize it

03:05:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003147

as soon as possible po

03:05:05Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003148

that's good news

03:05:07Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003149

that will definitely at least be

03:05:09Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003150

able to

03:05:11Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003151

strengthen our capability

03:05:13Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003152

special presence

03:05:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003153

West Philippine Sea kung 5 or 6 yan

03:05:17Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003154

na Abacuma class

03:05:19Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003155

destroyers

03:05:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003156

that we will

03:05:23Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003157

hopefully receive from Japan

03:05:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003158

actually po the

03:05:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003159

major issue with the navy

03:05:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003160

is not only the MOA but the

03:05:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003161

dockyard

03:05:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003162

which the

03:05:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003163

president has already given instructions

03:05:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003164

for us to construct the dockyard

03:05:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003165

because we have to vacate Sangli

03:05:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003166

it's unusable already

03:05:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003167

and unsustainable as a dockyard

03:05:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003168

masyadong mababaw na po yung

03:05:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003169

Sangli

03:05:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003170

at maliit for the platforms

03:05:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003171

that we have

03:05:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003172

so

03:05:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003173

makaka

03:05:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003174

inaasaan po natin

03:05:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003175

by the end of the year maumpisaan na po yung

03:06:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003176

groundwork sana

03:06:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003177

sa dalawang strategic base

03:06:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003178

pati dockyard po na ating

03:06:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003179

kailangan na kailangan

03:06:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003180

kasi limang Abacuma

03:06:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003181

at walong OPBs po yung

03:06:13Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003182

darating so

03:06:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003183

wala po tayong ibabahay

03:06:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003184

pagbabahayan pagre-reperan

03:06:19Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003185

likewise sa Secretary

03:06:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003186

nandyan na rin lang tayo

03:06:23Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003187

we are using right now

03:06:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003188

yung sa former Hanjin

03:06:27Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003189

that's a temporary base

03:06:29Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003190

and understand

03:06:31Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003191

we are paying so much na

03:06:33Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003192

1 billion

03:06:35Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003193

a year ba

03:06:37Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003194

and I had the chance

03:06:39Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003195

to go there

03:06:41Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003196

nakita ko parang warehouse lang

03:06:43Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003197

and I don't think it's really suitable

03:06:45Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003198

as a support base

03:06:47Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003199

to our frigates and other vessels

03:06:49Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003200

so ano bang ano

03:06:51Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003201

do you have any other plans

03:06:53Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003202

I think napurso natin yung Subic Bay

03:06:55Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003203

kasi it was really designed

03:06:57Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003204

as a naval base

03:06:59Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003205

as a forward operating base

03:07:01Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003206

and on others

03:07:03Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003207

so that let us know

03:07:05Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003208

so that we can already fund

03:07:07Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003209

also included funding for

03:07:09Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003210

for these bases

03:07:11Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003211

to be ready

03:07:13Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003212

lalo na sa pag-anticipate natin

03:07:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003213

sa pag-receive natin dito sa mga bagong vessels

03:07:17Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003214

wala pala tayong babahayan

03:07:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003215

your honor

03:07:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003216

I'm glad that you raised the question

03:07:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003217

2 years ago

03:07:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003218

the president had already proclaimed

03:07:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003219

certain areas of Subic outside

03:07:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003220

of Hanjin

03:07:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003221

as a naval reservation

03:07:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003222

together with Chiquita

03:07:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003223

and Grande Island

03:07:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003224

so

03:07:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003225

what we are waiting for is the initial funding

03:07:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003226

for us

03:07:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003227

and what we heard your honor

03:07:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003228

Hanjin is ready

03:07:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003229

willing and able to take over

03:07:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003230

the space because of

03:07:51Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003231

the

03:07:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003232

additional production

03:07:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003233

to include

03:07:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003234

one co-produced vessel

03:07:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003235

initially for the Philippine Navy

03:08:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003236

which will be a

03:08:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003237

logistical supply ship

03:08:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003238

that we will co-produce

03:08:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003239

I requested

03:08:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003240

that 50%

03:08:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003257

sa region

03:08:45Source

03:09:07Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

03:09:31Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003281

and Lockheed Martin

03:09:33Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003282

joint venture mukhang F-16 yun

03:09:35Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003283

but it was produced in Japan

03:09:37Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003284

and we mentioned that actually

03:09:39Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003285

with the defense minister

03:09:41Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003287

and they will take consider

03:09:45Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003288

so probably we can also take that

03:09:47Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

consideration baka mamaya ibigay sa atin

asr-003297

US platform that they improved

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003682

As Secretary, also,

03:20:56Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003683

ano siguro, we can ask

03:20:58Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003684

probably our

03:21:00Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003685

army, yung

03:21:03Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003686

drone development, do we have,

03:21:05Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003687

I'm sure that we have

03:21:07Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003688

that already. I had

03:21:09Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003689

the chance to visit the

03:21:11Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003690

Camp Kapinpin a few months ago

03:21:12Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003691

and they demonstrated na mayroon silang

03:21:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003692

ginagawang mga drone, locally

03:21:16Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003693

manufactured there in the camp itself.

03:21:19Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003694

So sabi ko parang

03:21:20Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003695

it's worth funding,

03:21:23Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003696

Secretary, because I think that

03:21:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003697

this will be the new,

03:21:26Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003698

ganito na yung magiging

03:21:28Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003699

wave of the future.

03:21:30Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003700

So probably you can

03:21:31Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003701

expound if, ano yung natin,

03:21:34Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003702

baka na makla. Kundi man classified.

03:21:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003703

Yes, Your Honor.

03:21:37Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003704

The thing is, with a more bigger scale,

03:21:40Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003705

we will need to produce it.

03:21:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003706

The problem

03:21:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003707

with the

03:21:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003708

developmental drones

03:21:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003709

are these are assembled

03:21:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003710

and sometimes the parts

03:21:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003711

come from countries which

03:21:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003712

are not reliable.

03:21:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003713

So, for the

03:21:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003714

conception stage,

03:22:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003715

mabuti, magaling ang Pilipino

03:22:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003716

dun sa production

03:22:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003717

at saka scaling, dun tayo nagkakaproblema

03:22:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003718

sa processing

03:22:08Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003719

na na precision

03:22:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003720

at

03:22:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003721

sa precision

03:22:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003722

at sa

03:22:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003723

tolerances, Your Honor, pati raw

03:22:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003724

materials supply chain.

03:22:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003725

So, pagdating

03:22:23Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003726

po sa amin, sa level

03:22:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003727

namin. Hindi nila ma-scale.

03:22:28Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003728

At secondly ho,

03:22:29Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003729

yung

03:22:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003730

GHQ is very busy

03:22:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003731

now in the

03:22:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003732

multi-level,

03:22:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003733

multi-unit

03:22:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003734

depending on the

03:22:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003735

use of the

03:22:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003736

unmanned system

03:22:45Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003737

doon sa command

03:22:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003738

and control and operational doctrines.

03:22:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003739

Kasi

03:22:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003740

at one stage, sa Army po,

03:22:55Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003741

sa Navy,

03:22:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003742

iba-iba ang gamit.

03:22:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003743

Pero at the end of the day, pag nagiging

03:23:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003744

mas lethal ito or mas may

03:23:03Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003745

impact ito, at

03:23:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003746

any time, kailangan po

03:23:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003747

may accountability ito sa GHQ.

03:23:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003748

Kaya yung

03:23:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003749

pag-employ nito,

03:23:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003750

pag lumalaki, kailangan

03:23:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003751

po mas

03:23:16Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003752

maagap

03:23:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003753

ang command and control dito.

03:23:21Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003754

Kasi po,

03:23:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003755

maaring makumpromiso

03:23:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003756

ang

03:23:25Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003757

system.

03:23:30Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003758

I was just surprised and also impressed. Ito yung gawa ng, developed here. So probably it's worth exploring kung talagang kinakailangan tulungan. Probably we can also fund it para matulungan natin. Because sabi nga nung camp commander, [unclear], this would be the wave of the future na sa mga battles kasi kasama na rin po talaga yung drone development.

03:23:54Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003759

Yes, Your Honor. We are taking a serious,

03:23:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003760

and it's not serious.

03:24:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003761

We're implementing it

03:24:02Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003762

on a scalable basis.

03:24:05Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003763

Likewise,

03:24:06Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003764

Secretary,

03:24:07Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003765

naging ano ka rin na subject.

03:24:09Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003766

I know that you have been very

03:24:11Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003767

firm in standing up

03:24:13Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003768

for our sovereignty.

03:24:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003769

Madalas, subject na rin

03:24:17Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003770

kayo sa attacks.

03:24:18Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003771

Ang nakakalungkot lang

03:24:20Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003772

na,

03:24:22Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003773

May mga lang Pilipino na hindi ko alam bakit ang kalaban naman natin dito,

03:24:27Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003774

China, dapat lahat tayo nagkakaisa doon pero meron silang mga kampi dito.

03:24:32Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003775

Like recently, nung nakasaguta ko yung Chinese ambassador,

03:24:39Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003776

actually pinapractice ko lang yung Mandarin natin,

03:24:40Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003777

nakalimutan ko na kasi matagal tayong gumraduate galing Saber.

03:24:44Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003778

Tsaka baka hindi niya naintindihan na yung West Philippine si Ate.

03:24:48Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003779

Kaya in Chinese, sinabi ko sa kanya na West Philippine si Ate is ours.

03:24:52Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003780

And nako, in 7 minutes, 500 comments ka agad.

03:24:57Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003781

So do you think itong mga ito, Secretary, part of ng China ito,

03:25:04Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003782

na meron silang propaganda machine really to create siguro itong disunity among us?

03:25:12Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003783

Meron po talaga. Meron po talaga.

03:25:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003784

At admitido naman po sila na part of the United Front Works po nila,

03:25:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003785

na pilar ng kanilang...

03:25:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003786

Ito po ay hindi state activity, kung hindi party activity ito.

03:25:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003787

Katulad po ng People's Liberation Army,

03:25:33Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003788

hindi parehong organization po yan sa armed forces.

03:25:38Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003789

Because the PLA is not a sovereign state arm.

03:25:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003790

It is a Communist Party of China arm.

03:25:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003791

Separate siya.

03:25:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003792

So talaga po, lahat ng galaw nito,

03:25:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003793

ay motivated by their central committee or standing committee.

03:25:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003794

So ang propaganda is the reason also for being of the People's Republic of China.

03:26:05Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003795

It was born through subversion.

03:26:09Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003796

When, you know, espionage, subversion.

03:26:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003797

And as with a lot of communist governments.

03:26:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003798

Although,

03:26:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003799

mga po nagpalit ng anyo.

03:26:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003800

What is, what we observe po dito na dito sa China ang pinakamatinding regime legitimacy support operations ang kanilang foreign policy.

03:26:39Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003801

So talaga pong part and parcel ng kanilang taktika.

03:26:44Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003802

And makikita naman po natin eh na with a straight face sasabihin that is ours.

03:26:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003803

Na wala po silang karapatan.

03:26:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003804

Ngayon, ang pagka ho hindi tayo manindigan laban sa narrative na yan, manonormalize po yan.

03:27:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003805

Manonormalize yan, sasabihin nila, tinanggap nyo na eh, wala kayong i-make.

03:27:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003806

So, mabuti na ho manindigan tayo kaysa sa mawala pa sa atin by default.

03:27:10Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003807

Secretary, we commend you for standing up doon sa Singapore, no?

03:27:14Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003808

Nangyayari yun, when you were, sa Seoul ba yun?

03:27:17Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003809

Singapore.

03:27:17Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003810

No? Singapore and Seoul.

03:27:19Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003811

When you were [unclear] with this

03:27:21Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003812

question, no?

03:27:23Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003813

Na talagang obviously it was planted.

03:27:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003814

So, ah, we commend you for standing up.

03:27:28Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-003815

Sir Chairman, as an aside, ano?

03:27:30Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-003816

Ah, kaya siguro subject ng, ah, troll attacks si Secretary Guibo.

03:27:34Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-003817

Kasi wala pa nakaka-match doon sa, sa mga fora na naatin na niya.

03:27:38Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-003818

Wala pa nakaka-match doon sa kanyang brilliance.

03:27:41Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-003819

So, so doon lang sila bumabawi.

03:27:44Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-003820

By way of troll attacks, et cetera, et cetera.

03:27:47Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-003821

So, yeah, I second the motion, no?

03:27:50Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-003822

In, ah, commending you for standing up in a manner na talagang hindi na maribat, eh, yung ating position.

03:27:58Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-003823

Thank you.

03:27:59Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003824

Sir, dahil nung nag-review ako sa bar, isa kayo sa mga advisor ko nung araw, nung panahon na iyon,

03:28:06Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003825

eto'y part lang ng legal training din natin sa pag-ribat na si Sen. Lacson et al.

03:28:14Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003826

Ah, kasakasama ko nung nag-review ako nung araw at marami ako natutunan sa kanila.

03:28:20Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003827

Actually, ah...

03:28:22Source

Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson

asr-003828

Yun ang tinatawag na mutual admiration club, Mr. Chairman.

03:28:25Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003829

Masundan ko lang ho sa Sen. Lacson, Mr. Chairman.

03:28:29Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003830

Ah, napanood ko yung dalawang, ah, ah, ah, forum sa, sa Singapore and sa Seoul.

03:28:37Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003831

And, ah, after that, ah, in Pilipinas, nalagay sa mapa, eh, no?

03:28:44Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003832

Ah, because that, ah, event was a defense event, ah, attended by many countries, no?

03:28:49Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003833

So, at, ah, naging very clear and sober as well as rational yung ating position.

03:28:56Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003834

And we thank the Secretary for delivering that, ah, to the world, no?

03:29:00Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003835

Kasi hindi lang naman kami yung audience, but ang audience yung buong mundo, eh, no?

03:29:05Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003836

So, and, ah, explanation was very clear and yet sober.

03:29:09Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003837

Hindi natin naman, ah, hindi naging bastos, hindi naging walang galang, but very rational.

03:29:16Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-003838

So, we thank the Secretary for that, ah, message.

03:29:19Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003839

Thank you, Your Honor, but I must give credit to, to the guidance of the President to us.

03:29:24Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003840

And secondly, to the collective support of the whole DND and AFP family.

03:29:30Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003841

Ah, that's where, ah, you know, ah, we have consistent messaging.

03:29:35Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003842

We, ah, the, ah, agencies under and the department are cohesive and united, ah, in our stand for the West Philippine Sea.

03:29:47Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003843

So, I mean, the, the expression, ah, in Seoul was instinctive on my part.

03:29:53Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003844

Pero, you cannot avoid also that it is based on my experience, ah.

03:30:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003845

Taking guidance from the President with our experience with the Senate and with each and everybody.

03:30:11Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003846

I'm just the expression of the collective voice of the institution, Your Honor.

03:30:17Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003847

Credit is also due to those individuals and institutions I have mentioned.

03:30:24Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003848

And we commend you again, Secretary, for that, for standing up for our sovereignty.

03:30:30Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003849

Nakakalungkot lang na may mga ilan dito.

03:30:33Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003850

Nakakatawa eh, China yung ano natin dito, ang ating katunggali.

03:30:39Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003851

Pero sandali lang, ang bilis na may ilang Pilipinas rito, mga troll.

03:30:44Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003852

Dinidepensa pa yung China, tayo pa yung inaano.

03:30:47Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003853

Itong mga ito, dapat bordering on ano ito, treso na ba ito siguro?

03:30:52Source

Diba? Sabi ko, mas masahol ba ito sa kalaban, yung pagiging trader sa sariling bayan.

03:31:00Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003855

So again, we commend you for that, Secretary Teodoro.

03:31:05Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003856

Yun na lang po, siguro last before we wrap up,

03:31:10Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003857

we also noticed that may budget na nawala doon sa ating disaster response.

03:31:19Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003858

Considering that there is a pending El Niño

03:31:22Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003859

coming next year, itong Super El Niño, may effect ba yung, tanong ko lang,

03:31:31Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003860

9.4 billion sa Calamity Fund na natanggal po sa inyo.

03:31:35Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003861

I am just worried that we have to be prepared for this.

03:31:42Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003862

So ano po maging effect na ito?

03:31:43Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003863

Hindi ko nga alam kung saan daw nangyari.

03:31:45Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003864

Whether it was brought to the Department of Agriculture, baka naman diretsyo nila.

03:31:50Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003865

Pinakita rin kasi kami rin.

03:31:52Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003866

Direct assistance to farmers and fisher folks.

03:31:55Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003867

So, your position, Secretary?

03:31:58Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003868

Your Honor, it will not affect because as the Senate President knows,

03:32:04Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003869

as far as last year is concerned,

03:32:07Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003870

I said that the Calamity Fund, it's best downloaded to line agencies where we do the coordination.

03:32:15Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003871

However, for some projects, for example, the integrated logistics centers,

03:32:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003872

for DSWD, DOH, in select areas where, because right now,

03:32:31Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003873

the warehouses, for example, Your Honor, are in Region 3, for example,

03:32:36Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003874

the two repacking areas of the DSWD, I was informed, were flooded.

03:32:43Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003875

So, I talked to Senator Gatchalian and offered an area in Fort Magsaysay,

03:32:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003876

for the repacking beside the runway, which is an ideal logistics location.

03:33:00Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003877

So, just to fund the ideal logistics locations, whether it be DSWD or OCD,

03:33:10Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003878

since it will be done also in military bases because of the air transport

03:33:20Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003879

and sea transport.

03:33:22Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003880

So, that's the only requirement, Your Honor.

03:33:27Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003881

Because now, if we have to augment in the Visayas and Mindanao,

03:33:32Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003882

but it's good that there is already a supply by Secretary Sherwin,

03:33:41Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003883

Secretary Rex Abinicio, so we just have to fill the gap.

03:33:49Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003884

But normally, before, this used to emanate.

03:33:52Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003885

From Metro Manila yet, which is not logistically ideal.

03:33:57Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003886

But the downloading to other agencies, that's their function, Your Honor,

03:34:01Source

DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.

asr-003887

why we do the coordination.

03:34:06Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003888

With that, before we end, liwanagin lang natin, hindi natin ina-attack ang Chinese people.

03:34:13Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003889

Wala tayong bad blood sa kanila.

03:34:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003890

I came from a Chinese school, sa Saber School, pareho kami ng Secretary.

03:34:19Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003891

We both grew up with our...

03:34:22Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003892

Our Chinoy friends, batchmates and schoolmates.

03:34:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003893

And we still love our Chinese friends.

03:34:28Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003894

And recently, I also became an ambassador of a Chinese tire manufacturing company.

03:34:32Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003895

I use a Chinese vehicle.

03:34:34Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003896

So, katulad nyo, marami rin akong gamit na galing China.

03:34:37Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003897

We welcome the people from all backgrounds.

03:34:40Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003898

And we have valued the friendships and relationships we have built over the years.

03:34:43Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003899

Pero malinaw po ang ating paninindigan, ang ating values.

03:34:46Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003900

Ang question natin ay ang aksyon ng Chinese government sa ating West Philippine Sea.

03:34:52Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003901

I'm sure yan din po ang pinaglalaban ng ating Secretary and the whole DND family.

03:34:57Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003902

Hindi ang ordinaryong mamamayang Chinese.

03:34:59Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003903

Yes, we can respect the Chinese people without turning a blind eye to the actions of their government.

03:35:05Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003904

Yung gobyerno naman nila po ang ating pong...

03:35:07Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003905

Yung kanilang ginagawa sa ating pong teritoryo, sa ating mangingisda,

03:35:13Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003906

at syempre sa ating Coast Guard, sa ating Navy.

03:35:15Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003907

Yan ang ating hindi po tayo pabor.

03:35:17Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003908

We stand for mutual respect, but we will also stand firm in defending our country's

03:35:22Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003909

Sovereignty and the dignity of our people.

03:35:25Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003910

We also reiterate our staunch support for the DND and the Armed Forces

03:35:29Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003911

in fulfilling its sworn mandate to defend our national interests.
