00:00The Department of Migrant Workers and the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development has joined the ongoing budget deliberations of the Senate.
00:12The news center of Daniel Manalastas is busy listening to the conversations of the condominiums.
00:21In the ongoing budget deliberations in the Senate, the OFWs discussed the situation when the Department of Migrant Workers joined.
00:31Recently, around 11 returnees, just last week, Mr. President, they were freed, Mr. President.
00:40And it is also because of the fact that our department consistently visits our countrymen who are in jail.
00:49But it is a sad news because there is a death row. A large number of people were deported to Malaysia.
00:56In Malaysia, there are 41 in death row, 8 females and 33 males, Mr. President.
01:04Wow, that's a lot.
01:06Most of those who were deported are drug-related cases.
01:11In Saudi Arabia, there is a death row and the DMW budget sponsor is crying.
01:17The department is doing its best to negotiate and convince.
01:21Meanwhile, in the budget deliberations, the budget of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development, which was established by Senator Cynthia Villar,
01:29discussed the condominiums, which is a senator who gives priority to the postpalate, not the house.
01:36The Secretary listens well to the inputs of our colleagues in each locality.
01:42Because all of these together really give us the national situation in housing that the department is trying to achieve.
01:50I think what the department is trying to do, Mr. President, good gentlewoman, is to work together with government funds,
01:59prioritizing housing for the poor by the NHA.
02:03Why are you prioritizing the 3.2 million condominiums for the middle class when your mandate is to help the poor and the homeless?
02:11That should be the first priority.
02:13How many more incidents are being discussed today?
