00:00Tumagal lang ng 30 minuto ang deliberasyon ng House Committee on Appropriations
00:05kaugnay sa panukalang pondo ng Office of the President 6.
00:09Persona na humarap si Executive Secretary Lucas Bersabin.
00:13Hindi lang para dipensahan ang kanilang budget, kundi para saguti na rin ang iba pang usapin.
00:18Yan ang ulat ni Bella Lesboras.
00:22President, Executive Secretary, former Chief Justice.
00:25Sa harap ng mga kongresista, tiniyak ni Executive Secretary Lucas Bersabin na walang masamang intensyon ang inalabas na pahayag ng gabinete nitong weekend.
00:35Matatandaang pumalag ang sangay ng ehekutibo noong Sabado laban sa anilay pagtatangka ng ilang kongresista na ibaling sa kanila ang sisi sa isyo ng katiwalian.
00:45Panawagan pa nila sa kamera, pakinggan ang sigaw ng bayan para sa full accountability at imbes na manisi, linisin muna ang sarili nilang bakuran.
00:55Gusto lang namin na maliwan na agad kung anong ibig sabihin po nito from our Executive Secretary.
01:01Thank you, Mr. Minority Leader, for raising this up.
01:06It's the elephant in the room.
01:09But we came here in good faith.
01:12We just would like to emphasize that any part of that statement is our statement.
01:19We will not shirk from that or avoid the impact.
01:25But we would like to emphasize today that that statement was more to stress our institutional separation from the House of Representatives
01:37and to elicit cooperation and support from the House of Representatives more than any other.
01:45We do not intend that to rile up detention between our departments.
01:52There is nothing intended that is malicious or to malign the House of Representatives.
02:00Sinabi ito ni E.S. Bersamin nang siya'y humarap sa deliberasyon ng House Committee on Appropriations
02:06ukol sa panukalang pondo ng Office of the President.
02:10Para sa taong 2026, higit 27.3 billion pesos ang hinihinging budget ng OP.
02:16Ayon sa Executive Secretary, gagamitin ito hindi lang para sa operasyon ng kanilang tanggapan
02:22pero ilalaan din para sa hosting ng Pilipinas sa 2026 ASEAN Summit kung saan Pilipinas ang magsisilbing chair.
02:29The proposed budget for the regular OP PAPS is 6.82% lower than our proposal last year
02:38which is consistent with the President's directive to all government agencies
02:45to be always mindful of the need to provide quality services for the people
02:51with less financial requirement in support of the Bagong Pilipinas brand of governance.
03:00Your Honors, despite this budget proposal being reduced,
03:06we assure the Congress that it will not affect the delivery of the services of the President to the people.
03:13Sa ngalan ng institutional courtesy, tumagal lang ng higit 30 minuto
03:18ang deliberasyon ng kumite sa OP budget at agad din itong natapos.
03:22Kasunod niyan, nakapulong din ni E.S. Bersamin si House Speaker Martin Romualdez
03:27at iba pang House leaders kasama na ang Presidential Sun at House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos.
03:33Sabi ni Speaker Romualdez, kaisa ng Presidente at ng Gabinete ang Kamara
03:37sa paghahatid ng Credible, Acceptable at Beneficial Budget para sa Bawat Pilipino.
