00:00For DPWH, authorizing Manoy to heed the delegation of the DOTR.
00:08Knowing that, and consistent with the tradition of the House,
00:13na dapat head of agency, or the very least,
00:18use it to defend the budget of the agency.
00:24Noting the inconsistency there on the letter,
00:28ako na mismo ang nag-advise sa kanilang umaga na huwag na kayong pumunta dito
00:34dahil ganun din kung wala si Yusik Sulayka Lopez.
00:42And then, I have the assurance of the Vice President na she will attend by next week.
00:51So, tatlong araw lang ang meron tayo next week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
00:56Therefore, since meron silang hearing sa Senado on Monday,
01:03Tuesday ang napili nila.
01:05So, ganun po ang istorya.
01:07That's why, for the record,
01:11the invitation to attend the budget hearing of the Office of the Vice President
01:15was addressed to the Honorable Vice President Sara Duterte
01:19with attention to Undersecretaris Olaika Lopez Chief of Staff,
01:23respectfully inviting the Vice President or a jury,
01:27authorized representative, and the senior officials of the OVP.
01:30And after this, before 12 o'clock,
01:36I was assured that the Vice President will be present herself on Tuesday.
01:44So, knowing that, if there's any question on the floor,
01:48I'm willing to answer.
01:50Mr. Chair,
01:53we in the minority set to extend to the Office of the Vice President
01:59our tradition to give parliamentary courtesy to the Office.
02:09But due to the technicalities, as explained by the Chair,
02:13I move that the Committee defer consideration of the budget
02:19of the Office of the Vice President until Tuesday.
02:23Sir, second.
02:24So moved, Mr. Speaker.
02:25It has been moved and seconded
02:27that the hearing for the Office of the Vice President
02:32be moved on next week, Tuesday, at the very least.
02:37Mr. Chair.
02:43Mr. Chair.
