00:00Some senators were saddened by the fact that education and health will remain a priority in their budget for the next year.

00:09This is what Daniel Manalastas reported.

00:14In a post on X, the saddened Education Secretary and former Senate Committee on Finance Chairperson Sani Angara

00:21reported that the budget for the Department of Education has been cut.

00:25He said that the trend has been reversed.

00:27Usually, the Congress adds more budget for education.

00:31The proposed budget for the Computerization Program of the Government was reduced to Php 10 billion.

00:37But the Senate Committee on Finance Chairperson Senator Grace Poe explained that there is still a fund for computers.

00:44The overall 2025 budget of the Department of Education has increased to Php 19 billion compared to its current budget.

00:52This will show the continued commitment to give priority to education.

00:57They gave priority to human resources, education, and students.

01:03Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino supported what Angara said.

01:08It's in the Constitution that education is the highest priority.

01:13I don't think that DepEd and CHED were reduced.

01:19So I totally agree, but again, I defer to the collegial wisdom of the members of the bicameral.

01:28Maybe there are more important priorities.

01:33But the budget for education should always be higher.

01:37According to Senator Sherwin Gatchalianz, he said that education should be given priority,

01:42especially computers and gadgets for education.

01:45Meanwhile, another issue that is being debated now is the budget of PhilHealth.

01:49Maybe the agency needs a supplemental budget that receives zero budget when it comes to subsidy.

01:55We can have a supplemental budget.

01:57But a lot of things happened properly in the Department of National Defense.

02:02That will be added.

02:03While some senators defended what happened to the agency's budget.

02:07From P500, it went down by P400 and P40.

02:11Now, it's P600 billion.

02:15We will add P74.

02:18For what? The benefits are not being added.

02:22We have very limited fiscal space.

02:24And when it comes to PhilHealth, our countrymen will not lose their benefits.

02:30They can use P600 billion here.

02:35And the DOH, from NEP, increased the budget by P30 billion.

02:40Senator Pia Cayetano was also dismayed by the budget cuts.

02:44In other governments, education and health should always be a priority

02:50if we are to build a stronger and more sustainable future.

02:55Daniel Manalastas for Pampansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
