00:00We had to have a look because maraming nagpago from the budget requests from the different departments.
00:10And we have to get back in the same shape that we had first requested.
00:16So unfortunately, we are only left now, I am only left now with the veto power.
00:25Because tapos na sa Bicam. So na-approve na ng House, na-approve na ng Senado.
00:30Now it's up to us on how we regain control of the spending program.
00:38I cannot give you the details yet because we are now, that is what we are doing.
00:44We are going through item by item, line by line to see what is priority and what is not.
00:52And that's what we will come up with.
00:54We were originally scheduled to sign and to load the GAA tomorrow, 20th.
01:05Pero kung hindi kami matatapos pa at that time.
01:08So I cannot give you a date because it will take as long as it will take.
01:14But I want to be very, very sure that the budget for 2025 is directed at the important projects that we have prioritized, number one.
01:27And secondly, that there is a stronger safeguards on spending for the different projects.
01:37Kaya baka mag-assess na naman tayo ng mga project-project na pinasok na insertion sa insertion.
01:44Because yung insertion na ginawa ay hindi naman kasama yun sa budget request.
01:51So ano ngayon yung mga yan?
01:54Kung talaga bang kailangan, baka yung iba kailangan, hindi naman kailangan, kailangan tayo pwede iti-fill.
02:00Yung iba, baka masyado.
02:03We are starting to see some project proposals that do not have the appropriate program of work,
02:11hindi malang-appropriate documentation, hindi maliwala kung saan pupunta ang pera.
02:17Kaya yun ang niliwalagi natin.
02:21It's not as if we have, hindi naman tayo nagkaroon ng napakalaking budget savings.
02:32Hindi nga, pulag-pulag.
02:34Kailangan maingat na maingat tayo kasi yung nilagastos yan, di naman karamihan pero meron dyan, utang yan.
02:42Kailangan mapunta sa tama para mapayara natin yung buddha, may pawi naman tayo doon sa ginastos natin, doon sa inundan natin.
02:50That's what we are trying to clarify.
