00:00Just like the Senate, the Chamber of Commerce is also concerned about the 2 billion pesos budget requested by Vice President Sara Duterte for 2025.
00:12The Vice President refused to answer the questions of the lawmakers.
00:19The Vice President said, Madam Chair, that it's slow and low utilization.
00:26As we saw in the presentation, the utilization is very low.
00:32But of course, I'll just comment, it's faster than confidential funds.
00:38100% in 11 days.
00:40Madam Chair, I call your attention, Madam Chair, you did not recognize me.
00:45So now, I will say, if you allowed her that, you allowed me a snide comment as well.
00:51Point of order, Madam Chair, because it's like she's the one presiding.
00:54She needs to be explained.
00:56So it can't be like that, the tactics like that, like sorry for the squid,
01:02that when the squid is about to be cooked, it turns into a black ink.
01:06What we're talking about here is the budget.
01:11The Vice President said, she will just let the Chamber pass on their budget proposal.
01:16The committee is one-sided and she is being attacked.
01:21In addition, Marikina, Second District Representative Stella Quimbo, should be replaced as presiding chairperson of the hearing.
01:32Please act in a respectful manner.
01:35I'm sorry, the firing of the presiding officer of this hearing is not in your power.
01:44I cannot fire the presiding chair.
01:46So why?
01:48Yes, we...
01:49Why is she so one-sided?
01:50Not at all.
01:51Is it because there are many of you on the other side and I'm the only one here?
