00:01Okay
00:02Yung ating NAP
00:04National Expenditure Program
00:07Ay tumaas ang budget ng BUSD
00:09And in fact kami ay nagpapasalamat
00:11Kasi every year tumataas
00:13May exact figures buka
00:15Hindi ko matandan kung close to 30 billion
00:17Kasi before kasi 28th class lang
00:20So around 30 billion
00:22And of course
00:23Ang ating major programs would continue
00:26Kasama dyan yung mga nabanggit
00:28Kung mga nabanggit kung Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program
00:31Community Empowerment
00:33Nandun din ano dito
00:35Smart and Sustainable Communities
00:37Nakaset na yun dito
00:38Of course the big bulk of the funding parate

00:48Artificial Intelligence
00:50Geospatial Analytics
00:52Quantum Computing

01:20Up to 2020
01:22It would continue
01:23Ang nabago lang siyempre
01:24Yung binanggit kung walo
01:26But the big
01:28Thrust also of the funding will be on the commercialization of the technologies
01:34Kasi nga we wanted to create wealth out of our research results
01:38So pinapalakas natin yung efforts at commercialization
01:41And matulungan natin ang mga university to really follow that path
01:47Kasi karamihan ng dulo nila is publication na unpaid
01:51So pinapalakas natin yung
