00:00Some young people responded to the budget hearing of the Office of the Vice President that was not attended by VP Sara Duterte.
00:07In the interview released by her office, the vice president said that only two congressmen have control in the national budget.
00:14This is the news of Marisol Abduraman.
00:20You may not like the person, you may not like her presence here, but you have to respect the office of the vice president.
00:27Vice President Sara Duterte is not sure about the continuation of the deliberation of the camera in the budget of the office of the vice president.
00:35But like in the last hearing, the tension in the camera is high.
00:38The question of the party list representative Rudante Marcoleta,
00:42will the tradition of giving the OVP courtesy be put aside when it comes to the immediate approval of its budget?
00:48There should be no more questions.
00:50What happened is a bunch of questions.
00:52That's why I'm asking.
00:54Why did we do that earlier?
00:56Are we not already respecting a tradition well-kept by the government?
01:01The hearing was even heated when it was suspended.
01:11When the hearing continued,
01:13For non-tradition!
01:15Representative Marcoleta motioned to stop the budget hearing and pass the OVP budget.
01:20But the motion was lost.
01:22We will uphold the tradition,
01:25if we will turn our responsibility to the people
01:29to approve and approve our budget.
01:33Aside from the absence of a vice president,
01:35there was also no OVP staff who attended the hearing.
01:53In the letter sent by VP Sara to House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
01:57he said that his budget has already been approved by the House Appropriations Committee.
02:01All the documents are already in the committee,
02:04in accordance with the budget they are asking for.
02:06Bratinella to the max.
02:07If you will not answer Madam,
02:09I have already asked you,
02:11I am now moving.
02:13Yes, I'm sorry.
02:15Is there still a Bratinella?
02:17COA and Budget Departments answered the questions of the congressmen.
02:21As for the 53 million pesos expenses,
02:24in the year of rent and use of 12 satellite offices,
02:28which were built by the OVP in 2023,
02:30including the OVP's expired and non-distributed relief goods,
02:35and 65 million pesos of unliquidated funds.
02:38If not submitted within the time given with the OVP,
02:42we will address it or issue a notice of suspension.
02:45Dini Marcoleta was asked the notice of disallowance of COA to the OVP.
02:49There is no guilt yet,
02:51until and unless you are able to receive the reply,
02:56the answer and the explanation of the office of the Vice President.
03:00That is correct.
03:02Have you received a copy?
03:06Of the reply?
03:07Yes.
03:08They have not yet replied.
03:10In the end, the termination of the OVP's 2025 budget was deferred.
03:16We are continuing to get the reply of Vice President Duterte
03:19regarding the issues that are being addressed to him.
03:21Along with the deliberation on the camera,
03:23a video of his response was released.
03:26Here, the House Speaker and the House Appropriations Committee Chairman, Zal Dico, were accused.
03:31The budget of the Philippines is held by only two people.
03:35It is held by Congressman Zal Dico and Congressman Martin Romualdez.
03:42In 2020, the Department of Education approved a budget of P5 billion
03:47for the construction of a classroom.
03:49I was surprised.
03:51Because there are members of the House who are asking.
03:56They are asking for the P5 billion, part of the P5 billion budget.
04:01How much do we have there?
04:04So I said, this cannot happen.
04:08Because what will happen is,
04:11the Department of Education will not be able to construct a classroom.
04:17When he did not agree, the budget fell to P15 billion
04:21in the approved National Budget or General Appropriations Act.
04:25But what did not happen,
04:26That P10 billion was not controlled by the Department of Education.
04:32It was controlled by Congressman Zal Dico and Congressman Martin Romualdez.
04:39This year, the House approved a budget of P5 billion
04:44for the classroom repairs of the DepEd and added to the classroom construction.
04:49But according to the Vice President,
04:51the House made a list of where the classrooms will be built.
04:55I just added that to the confirmation that they got, the budget of DepEd.
05:05And that is one of the reasons why I resigned from the Department of Education.
05:12I will not allow that next year,
05:15they will still do that and I will be responsible for what they are doing.
05:21We asked the office of Speaker Romualdez to make a statement,
05:24but they did not make a statement yet.
05:26My representative called the Vice President a liar
05:30when he said that Romualdez controlled the National Budget.
05:34They think that the people are not smart.
05:39We will answer that.
05:41First of all, the number of members of the appropriations is around 139.
05:47The vice chair is around 56.
05:49The congressman is around 300.
05:51We have 24 senators.
05:54There is a member of the Bicameral Conference Committee.
05:58Almost 30 attend that.
06:01He also approved the budget for the use of the confidential funds of 2022.
06:06Remember, it is the Congress that is wrong
06:12to use P73 million for P125 million confidential funds.
06:18It was only used within 11 days.
06:22The Napolis Fund, which was used for 60 days, lost here.
06:29Here, it was only used for 11 days.
06:32And now, are we still going to give P2 billion to the poor?
06:39We will give it to the right agency.
06:43Let us not allow them to use P1 billion that we should be watching.
