00:00 In the plenary deliberation until the 2024 proposed national budget,

00:03 the 13 trips abroad discussed by DNR Secretary Antonio Loizaga

00:09 will be discussed by the General Manager of the Philippine Retirement Authority, Senator Tanang Mga Senador.

00:13 Why? Let's find out in the interview of Mav Gonzalez.

00:16 Thank you Mr. President, may I ask for a minute's suspension?

00:18 Sir, it's suspended.

00:19 It's already 4.30 am, the early morning deliberation in the Senate

00:25 of the 2024 national budget, including the mentioned before,

00:30 will not be reduced to 13 trips abroad by the Environment Secretary

00:34 from the moment he is in office.

00:36 Some DNR members in different regions complain

00:40 that their DNR Secretary is not seen or rarely seen in person for inspection

00:46 unlike the other DNR Secretaries who go to the ground to talk and inspect.

00:52 Loizaga's answer is that through the sponsor of the DNR budget,

00:56 he only traveled abroad 5 or 6 times.

00:59 I don't think my sources are wrong.

01:01 Let's put her under oath that she really will not go abroad.

01:05 I think he is saying that it's her own trip, not a personal trip.

01:10 So it's not charged to the authorities.

01:13 This year, the fund of the DNR reached 1.1 billion pesos for foreign trips,

01:19 up to 1.173 billion pesos in the 2024 budget.

01:24 What was the benefit of the people in the foreign trips?

01:29 This is a disaster risk reduction.

01:33 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Conference on Biodiversity,

01:44 it's always foreign funded.

01:46 Tulfo also denied corruption in the cadastral survey or survey in the land that the DNR is conducting.

01:52 The SOP is 25 to 30 percent commission before the cadastral survey is signed by the contractor.

02:06 They will give a formal complaint and then they will prosecute the people of the DNR.

02:14 We are still trying to get the money from Lloyd Zaga.

02:17 The senators also denied the complaint.

02:19 The Philippine Retirement Authority General Manager, Cynthia Carion,

02:22 because of the text messages to some of them,

02:24 to discuss the budget of the Department of Tourism,

02:27 where the PRA is an attached agency.

02:30 When I heard that you were texting other members of the Senate,

02:34 particularly more insulting messages to Senator Rizal Ontiveros,

02:38 to stop asking the budget already of the DNR

02:43 because you want the DOT to be next in line.

02:49 That is not proper. That is inappropriate.

02:52 The Department of Tourism explained that she earlier apologized personally to the senators.

03:01 The senators accepted Carion's apology.

03:04 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mav Gonzalez, your witness.

03:09 Kapusos, let's be witnesses together.
