00:00Worry and doubt no more. Government's most important piece of legislation will pass muster and on time.
00:07After hurdling the Bicameral Conference Committee phase of the ratification process late last night,
00:13leaders of House and Senate Bicam Committee agreed to ratify and transmit the finalized General Appropriations Bill on December 29.
00:22Our Luisa Rizpe has more.
00:24The Bicameral Conference Committee has decided that instead of December 22,
00:31the ratification of the proposed 2025 national budget will be on December 29.
00:36According to Senator Sherwin Gachalian, there will be a process before the signing of the Bicameral Committee report and the said ratification.
00:44Originally, dapat 22 ratified na ang House and Senate.
00:48Pero based on the timetable ng mga staff, baka 28 ang permahan and 29 ang ratification.
00:57Kasi yung pagbabalanse, pagpiprint, pagre-reconcil.
01:01Kasi we have to reconcile our numbers with theirs.
01:04So yan, the process alone will take 4 or 5 days.
01:07Due to this, the legislative calendar will also be adjusted.
01:23But the question now is if the ratification will be 3 days before the year ends,
01:29can the President still sign the budget into law or the 2025 budget will be re-enacted?
01:34But both the Senate panel and the House contingent is confident
01:38they have given the Executive Department enough time to study the proposed budget.
01:43Ang ginagawa naman namin ngayon is synchronized na yung review ng DBM.
01:49DBM na yung review.
01:50So actually, kausap namin si Secretary Toledo.
01:54As we speak, nagmamonitor na sila.
01:56So meron na silang real-time numbers.
01:59Tapos kami naman, nagpapadala rin kami ng data sila rin.
02:02So real-time yung pagre-review.
02:04We just want to give the assurance that the Executive has enough time to review.
02:10So yun po, yun yung na-work out namin with DBM.
02:14That while we, as we finish the agencies, we already start sending to the DBM.
02:20So simultaneous na po yung finalization ng enrolled bill ng GAB at yung review ng DBM.
02:27They are also confident the President will not veto any items on the proposed fund.
02:32Aside from a clean budget, free from corruption, all the discussions made on the BICAM was also coordinated with the agencies.
02:39Ako, I'm confident, walang mabifito.
02:43I'm very confident.
02:44Kami rin.
02:44Because as Senwen was saying, throughout the whole process, very, very close coordination between us and the Executive.
02:52So wala po kaming kinakat, tulad po na nabanggit ni Senwen na wala po kaming, hindi namin pinapaalam sa mga ahensya.
03:01I think that's usually the main point of contention.
03:04And we also don't put in items in the budget of the respective agencies without the approval of the head of agency and the agency.
03:14So yes, I will second what Senwen said.
03:16We are confident that the President will not veto the budget as we drafted.
03:22The Senate reiterated that the proposed fund has no ghost projects and no insertions.
03:29Lahat ng safeguards nandito na sa budget na ito.
03:32So hindi na maulit yung flood control, hindi na maulit yung mga ghost projects, hindi na maulit yung mga hindi mahanap na projects or substandard.
03:41Those are embedded in the budget ngayon.
03:44Kaya kanina na manifest ni Kong Mika, yung mga projects natin ngayon meron ng station numbers.
03:50Now, as to anong views mo sa MAIP, anong views mo sa AICS, ano yan eh, kanya-kanyang views yan eh.
03:55But ang importante dito, lahat yung pupunta sa tao.
03:58Luisa Erispe from the National TV Network for a new and better Philippines.
