Transcript
00:00 The Committee of the House immediately approved the more than P10 billion budget of the Office of the President for 2024.
00:09 On the other hand, the minority is asking for confidential and intelligence funds.
00:15 Sandra Aguinaldo was the one who pointed it out.
00:20 Like the budget of the Office of the Vice President, the committee on appropriations also quickly approved the P10.7 billion budget of the Office of the President.
00:31 No congressman was able to ask about the budget of the office of President Bongbong Marcos, which includes P4.5 billion confidential and intelligence fund.
00:44 As part of a longstanding tradition and practice of the House of Representatives and the committee on the appropriations to extend parliamentary courtesy of the Office of the President,
00:56 Mr. Chairman, may I move that we terminate the budget hearing of the Office of the President.
01:03 The minority immediately objected.
01:05 They were also refused permission to make their statement on their confidential and intelligence questions.
01:10 But they were surprised when Davao City Representative Isidro Ungab asked for the approval of the O.P.
01:19 The objection has been withdrawn and therefore the motion to terminate the budget briefing of the Office of the President is hereby approved.
01:30 No Madam Chair, we are reloading the deliberations.
01:33 Again, we should give members the right and the time to pursue their objections.
01:39 Let us just have some order in the House please.
01:42 So at the point that the objection was withdrawn, then automatically the motion to terminate the budget briefing was carried.
01:53 One of the opposition's priorities is the confidential and intelligence fund of the Office of the President.
01:59 More than P4.5 billion in confidential and intelligence funds is just a portion of the P1 trillion funds that the President will control next year.
02:12 We are making a deal with the MUMO for the Filipino people.
02:15 The Congress is doing a very important thing in the national budget because a portion of the budget here is from the budget paid by the people.
02:25 In this process, there are agencies that can be added or reduced in the budget.
02:31 The Commission on Human Rights also agreed and asked for P1.9 billion in funds, but only P976 million was allocated in the budget.
02:44 Some congressmen expressed their support for this addition.
02:48 We have the mandate to protect, prevent violation and promote human rights.
02:55 Among the most important mandate of the commission is to investigate human rights violation.
03:04 Representative Edsel Agman asked what the CHR did to fulfill its promise of cooperation with the International Criminal Court or ICC,
03:15 in connection with the bloody war on drugs of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
03:20 Have you communicated with the ICC or their prosecutors with respect to the data you have gathered in your investigation?
03:30 No, Your Honor. Not yet.
03:33 Have you communicated to the ICC your intent to cooperate with the investigation?
03:41 No, Your Honor. Not yet.
03:43 Have you communicated with the Department of Justice your intention to cooperate with the ICC with respect to this drug war?
03:52 No, Your Honor.
03:53 In other words, your statement was a soundbite, a press release for media, and you have not really communicated to the affected agencies.
04:05 Well, it's not a soundbite, Your Honor. It was a response to a question provided or given by media men.
04:13 The CHR chairman promised that he will cooperate with the ICC and other agencies in order to help.
04:21 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, for 24 Hours.
