00:00May I just pause a part of your briefing?
00:04Yes, Senator.
00:05You know, Madam Chair, first of all, I'm just disappointed, Madam Chair, that every single department agency that would come here
00:14seems to be not aware of our topic and what we will be discussing here.
00:19And there's not much preparation at all going on.
00:23I've been here for four hours today, four hours.
00:26I've been here 930, 940.
00:29And I would like to ask, and again, ask the committee, the request of this representation.
00:36We have been asking for so long, since the first hearing of this committee,
00:40about the thought process, the protocols that come with all these departments,
00:46whether it's Bureau of Immigration, National Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, etc.
00:51Until now, Madam Chair, I have not received anything.
00:54I just don't know if they have already submitted it to the committee.
00:57And if they don't submit it, Madam Chair, I'm making a commitment that come budget deliberation of these agencies,
01:05I will defer their budget immediately, Madam Chair.
01:08Because no one is studying here but the senators.
01:12Comsec, could we know if the protocols have already been submitted?
01:18And this will be made available to Senator Jowell and the other members of the committee.
01:24The ones who have already submitted their protocols in investigating these POGO-related issues that we are hearing,
01:32are NBI, thank you, and CAAP. Thank you.
01:36So the others have yet to submit, Senator Jowell.
01:40Speaking of NBI and CAAP, the Bureau of Immigration has not yet submitted.
01:46The agencies of the government have not yet submitted.
01:51The PNP has not yet submitted.
01:54That's why we are sad.
01:56We are like fools when we see Al Jazeera and we will say let's leave it.
02:04Because we haven't done anything until now.
02:07There's no initial report. There's no report being given here.
02:10We are asking you, what is the budget being given to you for?
02:15I just want to say that Madam Chair.
02:17I'm just so pissed that every time we invite somebody from the government, whether it's a bureau or a department or agency,
02:26you will come here and anticipate already what we will be asking.
02:31Please Madam Chair, I'm just not happy the way we're being treated by these agencies.
02:40You know it's true, we are sorry, these senators are kind, but we're not stupid to deceive you.
02:49Thank you Madam Chair.
02:51Thank you Senator Jowell.
02:52So serving notice to the other agencies who have yet to submit.
02:56Please submit within this hearing.
02:58Please don't wait for Senator Jowell's motion.
