00:00 The Transportation Department requested a bigger fund for the next year.
00:07 Among the nominees, the one who still doesn't get rid of the backlog in license and license plates is Oscar Oida.
00:15 To continue to develop the new and old railways in the country,
00:24 the Transportation Department requested more than double the budget last year for the next year.
00:31 Most of the budget will go to the railway projects,
00:35 but the ones who will approve it on camera are left out.
00:39 What about the other expenses of the government?
00:43 Among them, the backlog of car plates and driver's license.
00:47 In plates, the delivery of plates to us is continuous and we do the production.
00:52 We have limited district offices and extension offices.
00:56 We're working with the manpower that we have in order to be able to distribute these plates at the quickest possible time.
01:03 They say the backlog is a target for the next year.
01:07 By the first quarter of the year, we would have already removed the backlog as far as four-wheel vehicles are concerned.
01:14 For motorcycles, it's one year, seven months.
01:17 There was also a delay in issuing the plastic driver's license due to the court's order.
01:23 If the TRO is lifted, in four months' time, we would have already erased the backlog.
01:29 A young man from Mindanao also raised the issue of the Lagindingan Airport fund.
01:36 Are we that lowly in Mindanao that we will not be given the opportunity same as we're given to the other airports in the island or in the country Madam Chair?
01:47 Are we still going to be treated as second-class citizens?
01:50 We should be able to fast-track.
01:53 We do hope to finalize these negotiations and go back to NEDA for the final approval.
02:01 And we are hopeful that we can reach, before the end of the year, 60 days by which any party can match the...
02:11 We're poor Madam Chair.
02:13 We're just containers.
02:15 We have done this for other airports.
02:18 We're just containers Madam Chair.
02:20 No Congreso Mayonero.
02:21 Do you have a design?
02:22 It is under design by CAAP.
02:25 This is a promise.
02:26 For your budget Madam Chair. For the budget to be deferred.
02:30 That's unfair.
02:31 For GEMA Integrated News, Oscar Oydamin, the witness.
