00:00The proposed budget of 6.352 trillion pesos for the next year is now in the hands of the Camera.
00:08Among the budgeted 700 million pesos of the Office of the Vice President,
00:14less than half of the 2 billion pesos they are asking for is in the hands of the Camera.
00:18Here is my report.
00:22The interpolations of the proposed budget on the Office of the Vice President is hereby terminated.
00:29The discussion on the proposed budget of the Office of the Vice President for the next year has been terminated by the Camera.
00:35The budget approved by the OVP is 733 million pesos based on the recommendation of the Committee on Appropriations.
00:42The fund raised from the 2 billion pesos originally requested by the OVP was transferred to another agency.
00:49These agencies will be the one to implement this program according, Mr. Chair,
00:55to the arrangement and the mechanism that the Office of the Vice President would enter into.
00:59But what did ACT Teachers Party List Representative Franz Castro think?
01:03The fund is just for the salary that the OVP should give.
01:07The 733 million pesos that will be raised in the budget of the Office of the Vice President is still big.
01:15We don't know where it will be used, where the fund will be used.
01:20The proposed budget of the Office of the Vice President is P529,593,700.
01:29House Speaker Martin Romualdez said that he will understand the failure of some lawmakers.
01:35But he will agree with the rumors that the OVP will be reduced or given a zero budget.
01:41In the manifestation of Camarena Su, Representative Gabriel Bordado,
01:44he compared the fund requested by Duterte to the fund of former Vice President Lenny Robredo which is only P700 million.
01:52Vice President Robredo's office was able to implement impactful transparent programs
02:01with every peso accounted for and allocated prudently.
02:10Duterte was no-show earlier.
02:12So who is the OVP's target when it comes to allocating their budget in the plenary?
02:17The answer to the question of budget deliberation is due to the money of the people.
02:26This is not a choice that can be foregone.
02:30Is he abandoning his duty as Vice President?
02:37I need to answer to the 32 million people who voted for me.
02:43Not just one or two people.
02:46That's why I will not leave.
02:50He will only attend the Senate budget hearing.
02:53He did not expect to be able to return the budget allocated by the committee to the Camera.
