00:25 To address the underspending and underutilization of government agencies and government activities,
00:31 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. led a sectoral meeting held by NEDA,
00:37 the underspending in the first half of the year, which was a part of the slowdown of the economy in the second quarter of 2023.
00:45 All government agencies presented their catch-up plan to President Marcos Jr.
00:51 In the palace briefing, the Destability Secretary Rex Chachollan and the U.S. Secretary Bienvenido La Guzman
00:58 announced that their agency is already starting their catch-up plan for their program in the country.
01:05 The estimated utilization rate is only in the first quarter.
01:10 We were able to catch up in the second quarter because when we were given information on the rate of our utilization,
01:18 we immediately contacted the regional directors.
01:21 The reassessment of the 1.4 million Filipino families that were included in the list of beneficiaries of 4Ps is now under way.
01:32 Chachollan explained that because of the pandemic, there are more poor Filipino families.
01:38 The target after September is to give the list of beneficiaries of 4Ps to help the deserving members.
01:45 Although we want to quickly issue the funds to the department, we want to avoid the observation that the recipient is a wrong person.
01:55 That's why we will really examine the 4Ps to make sure that the right family is the recipient.
02:04 This is the last year that the list of DSWD beneficiaries will be used.
02:09 Next year, the PSA will implement a community-based monitoring system.
02:15 DSWD will open complaints to the list of 4Ps beneficiaries.
02:21 We always say, don't just use verbal. There are grievances set there.
02:26 You can file an official grievance so that we can validate the complaint.
02:30 Sometimes, there are complaints that are made immediately, but when you put it in writing to be lodged in our field office,
02:36 unfortunately, no one will file it.
