00:00Weeks before the Senate gets its turn to deliberate and ultimately decide on the 2026 GAA or proposed national budget,
00:08Senator Sherwin Gatchalian has issued a forewarning on any attempts at duplicate insertions that could likely lead to an impasse in their deliberations.
00:18And like everyone expects, the proposed outlay for DPWH 2026 outlay will be scrutinized with hawk eyes.
00:25Likewise, the Senate Finance Committee Chair also vowed to bring to account all those behind the failed and phantom DPWH projects,
00:33which, all told, could have translated to P118.5 billion or equal to up to a quarter of a million jobs.
00:42Meanwhile, Senator Francis Pangilinan expressed willingness to author a bill for the appointment of an independent council or commission to probe the flood control project mess.
00:52For his part, Senator Erwin Tulfo awaits the President's formation or creation of an independent commission
00:59that will bring finality and unanimity to the pending probe into the flood control project mess.
01:09Kung ganito yung magiging utsura ng budget, sigurado ako yung 270 billion ng DPWH sa flood control, tatanggalin namin yan.
01:20Ilalagay namin yan sa education para mabuo na yung 4% GDP sa education.
