00:00Well, some of, again, we'll have to look into the details of that.
00:07Because there are, here's the other thing.
00:13Because some of the big ticket programs in public goods,
00:17that used to be put into the, how do you say,
00:27the unappropriated funds, the reserves.
00:31Now, I'm saying, I told them, I asked the house,
00:36wag nyo lang, wag nyo lang, hindi kasi pabalik-balikan pa natin yan
00:41para mailagay dun sa project, which is a delay.
00:45Sana we normalize what we are doing, so that it's already in lagaha.
00:50Hindi, hindi yung funds, reserves.
00:53So, that's what, pinapalit tayo talaga natin the way we do it.
00:56Para maging mas maliit bang mas pagilis ang takbo.
00:59You know, here we're, what, we're, as of the end of the year,
01:04we're two and a half years already working.
01:06We have three and a half years left.
01:08We have to get these things done.
01:09We have to get all the structures in place already.
01:12So, we're changing, we're changing.
01:14But, ganyan, ganyan talagang budget process is a two and two.
01:20So, we will look into the big insertions in the public works
01:28and see which ones are absolutely necessary.
01:31And maybe we'll, baka yung iba, titignan natin kung talaga bang critical.
01:38We'll see, we'll see.
01:40But public works is still going to be one of the top recipients of budget.
01:48Maraming na tayo ginagawa.
01:50We have big projects that we have to put in place.
01:52Infrastructure is really important.
01:55And don't forget, flood control became such a big, big part of the work of the Department of Public Works.
02:05They have to build things that we never had to build before.
02:09Pinabantayan lang namin, especially the ODA project,
02:13is to make sure that our debt ratios are still relevant.
