00:00Some advocacy groups are calling on the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources to be transparent and fair
00:07in its bidding for the government's fishing vessels.
00:12At the same time, there will be issues with the processes faced by BFAR Kamakailan,
00:17such as rescheduling the bidding for the 23.5-meter fishing vessel,
00:2262-footer fiberglass-reinforced plastic,
00:2680-meter multipurpose cargo vessel, and many other reasons.
00:31According to the Advocate for Good Governance,
00:34because of this, the integrity of public procurement of fisheries will be compromised.
00:39In addition, BFAR has assured that all regulations and regulations will be followed
00:45in their bidding process, in accordance with the existing laws.
00:52According to the law, particularly the Republic Act 9184,
00:57the bidding must be public, open, fair, competitive, and transparent.
01:04One of our advocacy is to ensure that the regulations and the laws
01:10regarding public bidding are in compliance.
01:15BFAR is an on-process, an on-proper process,
01:20which means that the process of bidding will be efficient, fast, and efficient,
01:26taking into account compliance with the existing rules and regulations on the procurement process.
01:32We don't want to delay the government's program
01:36on where people will benefit.
