02:05The NEP is more than just numbers on paper.
02:10It is the government's plan

02:56Adjo,
02:59kanikanina lamang
03:00ay nakapanayam din ng media
03:01si House Majority Leader
03:03Sandro Marcos
03:04at katulad ng direktiba
03:06ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,
03:08sabi ni Congressman Marcos
03:10ay bilang isang majority leader,
03:12hindi niya hayaang malayo
03:14dun sa NEP
03:14yung ipapasang budget ng Kamara.
03:16Pakinggan natin yung bahagi
03:17ng kanyang pahayag.
03:21I will not allow a budget
03:23on the floor to pass
03:24that is not,
03:25that is a mutation
03:25of the NEP
03:26or that it's become
03:27too far off
03:28from the NEP.
03:30As majority leader,
03:31I won't allow it to happen.
03:32Well,
03:33hindi po ba yun
03:33pag-incroach
03:34sa power ng Congress?
03:37Well,
03:39it's the prerogative
03:40of the House
03:41to pull
03:43from certain
03:44agencies
03:45that
03:46haven't been
03:47utilizing their funds.
03:49Nakita mo naman
03:49ang tawag dyan
03:50utilization rate.
03:52Ipig sabihin,
03:52binigay ka ng 10 pesos.
03:54Kung 5 pesos lang
03:54ginamit mo
03:55sa isang taon,
03:56ba't ka namin
03:58bibigyan ng 10 pesos
03:59na naman
03:59kung hindi mo lang
04:00igagastos?
04:01Ilagay na lang namin
04:02sa ibang ahensya
04:03na may kaya
04:04na gumastos
04:05ng ganong klaseng
04:06pondo.
04:08So,
04:09it's the prerogative
04:09of the House
04:10to do that.
04:11It's part of the
04:12checks and balances
04:12of the branches
04:13of government.
04:15But again,
04:16if there is a tendency
04:18in which
04:19it's taken too far,
04:22which the president
04:23thinks happened
04:24last year,
04:25that was his
04:26logic.
04:28And that's what
04:29he was alluding to
04:30when he said
04:30he wasn't scared
04:31to reenact the budget.
04:33Because
04:33sa tingin naman
04:34ng Pangulo,
04:35sumoob na naman
04:36last year.
04:37So,
04:38I won't allow that.
04:41Aljo,
04:42sabi naman
04:43ni House Committee
04:43on Appropriations
04:44Chair Mikaela Swan Singh
04:46ay masusin na nilang
04:47pag-aaralan itong NEP
04:48at sa mga susunod na araw nga
04:50ay inaasang
