00:00That is how the Armed Forces of the Philippines thanked the Congress for the daily subsistence allowance for the soldiers under the proposed 2025 National Budget.
00:11From P150 per day, it was increased to P350 to help the uniformed personnel.
00:18It is also part of the government's recognition of the efforts and sacrifices of the soldiers for the country.
00:24Last Wednesday, House Speaker Martin Romualdez made a video call to AFP Chief of Staff Romeo Browner, Jr. to deliver the good news.
00:33Something that the AFP chief was pleased with.
00:35As the House leader said, they are the top priority of the government.
00:40The Congress has already ratified the BICAM Report of the 2025 Budget Proposal.
00:44And now, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. is just waiting for the formal approval to pass the law.
00:53Kindly convey to the entire AFP, to our men and women in uniform, that as we committed,
01:00that the subsistence daily allowance from P150 to P350 has not only been affirmed, but has been approved and is being signed right now.
01:10And we will ratify the BICAM Report this afternoon.
01:13So, please tell that.
01:15Regardless of whatever doubts they heard, that's all fake news.
01:22Basa ng salita tayo.
01:24When we speak, as the Speaker and the House, when we speak, we mean it and we will always deliver.
