00:00Kinumpirma ni Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian na walang kontroversyal na acap o ayuda sa kaposang kita program sa ilalim ng panukalang budget sa susunod na taon.
00:11Binigyan din niya ng kalihim ng humarap ang kagawaran sa budget hearing sa Senado.
00:15Ayong kay Sen. Erwin Tulfo, basis sa kanyang obserbasyon, tila nagdodoble lang ito sa Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation o IICS.
00:24Sabi naman ni Sen. Committee on Finance, Chairperson Sherwin Gatchalian, imbis na acap, pwede naman palakasin na lang ang IICS program.
00:34Biggest item there would be protective services. Under protective services, nandun ho yung una, yung acap na nawala na ho siya.
00:42That line item is gone. That's around 26 billion from last year.
00:47And then if you look at the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation, that also had a decline of around 14 to 15 billion.
00:56Suddenly appeared during the 2024 bicameral conference. Dito, medyo, hindi ako actually, sa ngayon po kasi parang nagdodoble lang po.
01:06We will not allow acap to reincarnate in the BICAM. No, that's for sure.
01:10Kasi meron naman IICS. So we will try to find funds para ma-boost up natin ang IICS at hindi na magkaulit-ulit pa yung mga programa.
