00:00Mr. Speaker,
00:02My fellow countrymen,
00:04My fellow countrymen,
00:06My fellow countrymen,
00:08Good afternoon to all of you.
00:10In any business,
00:12small or large,
00:14small or large,
00:16normally,
00:18normally,
00:20normally,
00:22normally,
00:24normally,
00:26normally,
00:28wherever it may be,
00:30municipality or barangay,
00:32municipality or barangay,
00:34the operation and budget of the LGU
00:36the operation and budget of the LGU
00:38goes through the consideration
00:40of their council.
00:42That is the process
00:44That is the process
00:46because we are a part
00:48of a democratic republic.
00:50of a democratic republic.
00:52We are not a monarchy,
00:54communist regime
00:56or dictatorship.
00:58The Philippines
01:00is a democratic republic.
01:02is a democratic republic.
01:04When it comes to elections,
01:06we do not have a king
01:08or queen
01:10or empress
01:12in power.
01:14Our democratic republic
01:16has a congress,
01:18judiciary
01:20and executive.
01:22Three branches of government
01:24that are equal
01:26and balance
01:28each other.
01:30Our duty here in the congress
01:32is to vote
01:34on the executive budget
01:36and the spending
01:38of the previous
01:40trusted funds of the country.
01:44The Vice President's Office
01:46does not have money
01:48for the 2022-2023
01:50for the 2022-2023
01:52for the 2022-2023
01:54for the 2024-2025
01:56for the 2024-2025
01:58funds of the country.
02:00That is why there are budget hearings
02:02so that the people
02:04can know how
02:06the offices of the government
02:08spend the funds of the country
02:10that is trusted by them.
02:12But
02:14last week,
02:18the Vice President
02:20said his
02:22inappropriate speech
02:24and disrespect
02:26to our legal
02:28and democratic
02:30republic.
02:32Here in the Congress,
02:34we do not treat
02:36the judiciary
02:38as the judiciary.
02:40That is a wrong speech.
02:44In Manila and here in the Congress,
02:46we will monitor
02:48the budget hearings
02:50of the office of the Vice President.
02:52That is a wrong speech.
02:54That is a wrong speech.
02:56That is a wrong speech.
02:58That is a wrong speech.
03:00That is a wrong speech.
03:02That is a wrong speech.
03:04That is a wrong speech.
03:06That is a wrong speech.
03:08That is a wrong speech.
03:10That is a wrong speech.
03:12That is a wrong speech.
03:14That is a wrong speech.
03:16That is a wrong speech.
03:18That is a wrong speech.
03:20That is a wrong speech.
03:22That is a wrong speech.
03:24That is a wrong speech.
03:26That is a wrong speech.
03:28That is a wrong speech.
03:30That is a wrong speech.
03:32That is a wrong speech.
03:34That is a wrong speech.
03:36That is a wrong speech.
03:38That is a wrong speech.
03:40That is a wrong speech.
03:42That is a wrong speech.
03:44That is a wrong speech.
03:46That is a wrong speech.
03:48That is a wrong speech.
03:50That is a wrong speech.
03:52That is a wrong speech.
03:54That is a wrong speech.
03:56That is a wrong speech.
03:58That is a wrong speech.
04:00That is a wrong speech.
04:02That is a wrong speech.
04:04That is a wrong speech.
04:06That is a wrong speech.
04:08That is a wrong speech.
04:10That is a wrong speech.
04:12That is a wrong speech.
04:14That is a wrong speech.
04:16That is a wrong speech.
04:18That is a wrong speech.
04:20That is a wrong speech.
04:22That is a wrong speech.
04:24That is a wrong speech.
04:26That is a wrong speech.
04:28That is a wrong speech.
04:30That is a wrong speech.
04:32That is a wrong speech.
04:34That is a wrong speech.
04:36That is a wrong speech.
04:38That is a wrong speech.
04:40The second president also wasted
04:42the opportunity given to the Congress
04:44and the people
04:46and whoever
04:48partnered with the Office of the Vice President.
04:50In their
04:522025 budget proposal,
04:54there are 977,615 beneficiaries.
05:00Where are they?
05:02Is this all true?
05:04And is it verified?
05:06The OVP said
05:08in their budget proposal
05:10that they also have 793
05:12strategic partnership
05:14in 2023.
05:16Where is the list
05:18of strategic partnership
05:20and strategic partnership
05:22agreements?
05:24And if there is no real list
05:26of beneficiaries and real documents
05:28of strategic partnership,
05:30it is unlikely
05:32that the people of the country
05:34will lose their national funds.
05:36This is likely to happen
05:38in the future.
05:40Instead of answering
05:42the questions of the Congress,
05:44he only repeated
05:46his answer.
05:48And as a conclusion,
05:50I would like to introduce
05:52to the voters in Manila
05:54and the whole country
05:56who are not worthy of us,
05:58especially since he is
06:00ambitious to be president,
06:02who does not want to say
06:04where did the country spend
06:06its national funds?
06:08Who is really serving him?
06:10Maybe his boss
06:12is blocking the boats
06:14of the Filipino fishermen
06:16or the promoters
06:18of POGO.
06:22Is that the will
06:24of our
06:26vice president
06:28and he is ambitious
06:30to be president?
06:32Serve better.
