00:00Before the new year, President Bongbong Marcos could sign the proposed national budget for 2025.

00:06Let's talk in detail on the spot of Ian Cruz.

00:09Ian?

00:14Yes, Rafi. President Bongbong Marcos will not return the 2025 national budget to the Congress.

00:21The President said that the work of the Congress is already done and there is no procedure

00:26for them to return the budget after the bicameral conference committee of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

00:33That is why they will be the ones to review the proposed General Appropriations Bill of the Congress.

00:38There are a lot of changes from the budget request of the various departments.

00:43We will find out if the budget insertions are necessary.

00:47Instead, the President said that he will just veto some of the General Appropriations Bill

00:52to regain control of the spending program of the government in the next year.

00:57The President has yet to detail this because item by item, line by line,

01:02they are looking at it to find out which are the priorities.

01:06But they have already seen project proposals that do not include a proper program of work,

01:11no documentation and it is not clear where the funds will go.

01:15That is why this is what needs to be clarified.

01:17The National Budget should be signed tomorrow but they will not be able to finish reviewing it.

01:22But the President assured that the 2025 National Budget is one of the important projects.

01:28The President also asked about the appearance of Speaker Martin Romualdez

01:32who will spend a year to pay the PhilHealth premium.

01:35The President said that this is a good idea but he pointed out that

01:39those who are commenting on the absence of a PhilHealth subsidy in the budget should study it carefully.

01:45His guarantee is that whether the PhilHealth has a subsidy or not,

01:48the service of PhilHealth will not be reduced.

01:51Here is his statement.

01:56Let me be very clear.

02:00I really wish that those who are commenting on the PhilHealth subsidy should study it more deeply.

02:08This is my guarantee.

02:10My guarantee is very simple.

02:12Even if there is a subsidy, even if there is no subsidy, even if there is a contribution,

02:16all of these issues, the service of PhilHealth will not be reduced.

02:26The Quad Committee of the House of Representatives,

02:28which includes former President Rodrigo Duterte,

02:30Senator Ronald de la Rosa, Senator Bongo and others

02:33of Crimes Against Humanity and the War on Drugs Administration.

02:37This includes the President but the Department of Justice will assess this.

02:41The DOJ will look into these issues,

02:43especially what cases will be investigated,

02:45how will there be evidence to go back to the case build-up.

02:48It will also look into the direction of the recommendation of the Committee of the House of Representatives.

02:53As for the requested executive clemency of Mayor Jane Veloso,

02:56the President said that it is still far away.

02:59It still needs to be studied and she will leave it to the judgment of legal experts

03:05to know if the clemency can be approved.

03:08Indonesia has no condition to transfer Veloso's custody to the Philippines,

03:14but it is said that everything is still in the preliminary stage.

03:17President Bongbong Marcos was at the Villamor Air Base earlier

03:20for the change of command and retirement ceremony of the Philippine Air Force

03:24for the retirement of Lieutenant General Stephen Pareño,

03:27the 39th Commanding General.

03:29He was replaced by AFP Vice Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Arthur Cordura.

03:34This is Cordura of the Philippine Military Academy, Bikislahi Class of 1990.

03:39That is the latest news from the Villamor Air Base.

03:42Back to you, Rafi.

03:44Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
