00:00I don't want to reconcile, and this is addressed to Secretary Bonoan and maybe Yusek Cabral.
00:07Because in the statement of Yusek Bernardo,
00:12NEP is only a advance.
00:15He said this in paragraph 10,
00:18No. 2023, the project that was built in Yusek Bernardo,
00:23in Alcantara,
00:23sa aking District Engineering Office ay may halagang 710 milyon.
00:31Mula sa halagang ito, 450 ang pumasok sa National Expenditure Program, o NEP.
00:37260 naman sa GAA.
00:40Pagkatapos magkaroon ng insertions,
00:43ang kasunduan ay 25% ang para sa proponent.
00:48May advance payment ito na 5 to 15% na kalimitang hinihingi Yusek Bernardo kapag ganap na ang NEP.
00:58So, I'm just wondering,
01:00did you have knowledge that downloading of infra projects, at least sa Bulacan,
01:06nangyayari na sa NEP pa lang?
01:10How could that happen?
01:11Or, paano makakakuha ng 5 to 15% na National Expenditure Program pa lamang?
01:16Hindi ko na ma-reconcil doon sa mga competition nila,
01:20na meron ng,
01:22nakapactory na ba yung 5 to 15%?
01:25Sa NEP pa lang?
01:29May halaga na yun, di ba, sa budget?
01:32Please?
01:34Your Honor, I would not know actually the arrangements that are being made actually.
01:38He was your Yusek eh.
01:40Yusek for operations.
01:41Yeah, Your Honor, but I think in the NEP,
01:46the NEP is just the listing of the project.
01:48Budget proposal.
01:49Budget proposal, Your Honor.
01:51So, that's all.
01:52Paano nakapag-insert yung mga legislators sa budget proposal pa lamang?
01:56Eh, wala pa sa authorization phase,
01:59ika nga, or legislation phase?
02:02Yes, Your Honor.
02:02That's the domain of the executive.
02:04So, paano nakakapag-nakakialam na yung mga legislators,
02:09insertion,
02:09and sinong responsible dito, planning?
02:13Your Honor, I think this is what we want to clarify, actually.
02:16Please.
02:17In the preparation of the national expenditure proposal,
02:22in the NEP,
02:23I think we consolidate all the requests and proposals.
02:27For example, in the Senate,
02:30there is a leadership fund
02:33that is being earmarked.
02:35For senators...
02:36Leadership fund?
02:37Leadership fund?
02:38We call it leadership fund.
02:42In order that,
02:43if there are actually priority projects
02:45that may be requested
02:47by members of the Senate,
02:49this is where we are going to include it
02:51into the national expenditure program.
02:55Your Honor,
02:56Teca, hindi ko makuha.
02:59Kasi yung NEP,
03:00itatransmit sa Congress,
03:02lower house,
03:03and then eventually,
03:04pagka-house gap,
03:05akin sa Senate.
03:06Yes.
03:06Eh, bakit sa national expenditure program,
03:09meron nagat insertions?
03:10That I cannot really understand
03:12for the life of me, no?
03:14Well,
03:14we don't really call it insertion,
03:16Your Honor.
03:17We call it consolidation
03:17for the time being,
03:19because this is actually the...
03:21When we put it into the NEP,
03:23this is actually the President's program.
03:24This is the President's program.
03:27President's budget.
03:28President's budget.
03:29President's budget.
03:30So this is consolidating
03:32all the requests
03:33from all sectors,
03:34like in the Senate,
03:35Congress,
03:36and everything,
03:37Your Honor.
03:38So,
03:39this is where
03:41the list of projects
03:43are all incorporated
03:44into the NEP.
03:47Who bets this?
03:50Sino nagbebet?
03:50The vet,
03:53the vetting for,
03:55the vetting actually
03:56is with the planning service
03:58so that it will be
03:59consistent with the
04:01projects that are being
04:03included
04:04are consistent
04:06with the
04:07development program
04:09of the government,
04:10Your Honor.
04:11Fast forward,
04:12paano kung natin
04:12re-reconcil do sa mga
04:13costing nila?
04:15NEP pa lang,
04:16very premature,
04:17hindi pa ito gaah.
04:18That's what I don't
04:20understand, Your Honor.
04:21I cannot also understand.
04:22Why there is already
04:23this kind of
04:24aneracement?
04:24Kasi kung ipapakturin mo
04:25yung 5 to 15 percent
04:26na advance payment
04:27na nag-sa-NEP pa lamang,
04:30paano sila magko-coasting?
04:32I don't know.
04:33Well, this is something
04:34that...
04:34Or paano ito...
04:36I cannot really reconcile,
04:37ano?
04:38Kasi ito implementation.
04:40Ang NEP is only a proposal.
04:42Yes, Your Honor.
04:43It's a proposal.
04:44Yung insertion dapat
04:45nangyayari
04:46either sa House GAP
04:47because we call it
04:48amendment.
04:48House GAP,
04:49yes, Your Honor.
04:49Amendment.
04:50Yes, Your Honor.
04:51Actual insertion,
04:52pero amendment na tawag namin.
04:53And that's legal.
04:54That's right.
04:55That's really
04:55within the power
04:58or authority of Congress.
04:59That's correct, Your Honor.
05:00Pero NEP pa lang,
05:01ba't may participation
05:02na yung legislature?
05:03This is what I don't
05:05understand, Your Honor.
05:06Well, you just said
05:07na nagko-consolidate kayo.
05:08Yes, Your Honor.
05:09You should have
05:09understood it
05:10from the very beginning.
05:12Dapat hindi kayo
05:13nag-accommodate
05:14na mga...
05:15Oh, ayun yung tawag yung insertion.
05:18Anong tawag nyo kanina?
05:20Leadership fund.
05:21Okay.
05:22Leadership allocation.
05:23Bakit nyo in-accommodate?
05:25Well, the objective
05:26of which actually,
05:27Your Honor,
05:28is we know that
05:29members of Congress,
05:30including Senators,
05:33have actually
05:34some priority projects
05:35that they would want
05:36to include.
05:36They will have their time
05:38during the budget deliberation
05:40in the House
05:40and in the Senate.
05:42You know,
05:43Your Honor,
05:43what we wanted
05:44actually to do,
05:46and this is actually
05:47well,
05:49under this administration,
05:50we wanted it already
05:51to be put into
05:52the National Expenditure Program,
05:54NEP,
05:55into the NEP,
05:56so that by...
05:58We want to avoid
05:59that by BICOM,
06:02the NEP
06:03should already be intact.
06:04Yet,
06:04wala pa tayo sa BICOM.
06:05Yes, Your Honor,
06:06and this is the reason why.
06:07Bakit hindi nyo
06:08sabihin sa kanila,
06:10can you not wait
06:11for your budget deliberation
06:13bago kayo mag-amend
06:14or mag-insert?
06:15Bakit nyo pinapayagan
06:16na exclusive jurisdiction
06:19ng executive branch
06:21yung paggawa ng budget proposal
06:23or yung president's budget?
06:26Why are you...
06:26Why were you allowing it?
06:29Well,
06:29as I understand, Your Honor...
06:31Yung totoong reason,
06:32bakit?
06:33We want...
06:34We really want...
06:35For practical reason,
06:36sabihin nyo na lang.
06:37Para sana ho,
06:38hindi na nila gagalawin yung NEP.
06:41Hinalaw na nga yung NEP eh.
06:43Pagka hindi na nila gagalawin sana yung NEP
06:45sa BICOM...
06:46May I...
06:47thank you...
06:47Dus,
06:48thank you...
06:59...
