00:00The House Appropriations Panel recommended an increase of more than Php 1 billion
00:06in the budget requested by the Office of the Vice President for the next year.
00:11Does the decision have anything to do with the non-fulfillment of the visa for the hearing?
00:16Marisol Abdurrahman has the story.
00:22After Vice President Sara Duterte fulfilled the deliberation
00:26regarding the budget of the Office of the Vice President,
00:29the House Appropriations Panel made a decision.
00:32The OVP requested a budget of more than Php 2 billion
00:35will be reduced to more than Php 1.2 billion.
00:38Therefore, what will remain in their fund is only Php 733 million.
00:43The Committee on Appropriations has 139 members
00:48and with respect to the budget cut of the OVP,
00:53this was a unanimous decision among the members.
00:58What was affected to the OVP
01:00is that the programs of the national agencies
01:04and the budget for the satellite offices are the same.
01:07We saw that there are redundant social programs,
01:12programs that are being implemented,
01:15that there are programs in the national government agencies.
01:22Why are there so many satellite offices
01:24that were not made by our previous vice presidents?
01:28Why do we need such a large-scale and nationwide presence?
01:34But the beneficiaries of the social programs of the OVP
01:39should not be the vice president himself
01:41because the assistance will continue.
01:44They will just transfer the funds to the programs
01:47such as the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation or IX of the DSWD
01:52and Medical Assistance to Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Patients
01:56or MAIFI program of the DOH.
01:59When asked if the OVP did not contribute to the decision,
02:04its absence did not shed light on many issues.
02:09That's what I think is affected.
02:13The lack of information.
02:16Ma'am, should the OVP appear in the plenary?
02:19Will it change?
02:21Let's see.
02:22I mean, we are open to anything as I said.
02:25But Kimbo clarified that the budget cut is a recommendation
02:27and not a final approval of the Congress
02:30because there will be debates in the plenary.
02:33We are continuing to get the approval of Vice President Sara Duterte
02:37but she already said that they are ready to work
02:41even if they don't have a budget.
02:43But they sent pictures of their ongoing operation
02:47such as the assistance to the burned in Baco or Cavite.
02:51For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abdurrahman.
