01:30In every episode, we will pass what's trending and examine what the headlines truly mean for everyday Filipinos.
01:39I'm Mildred Galarpa.
01:41And I'm DJ Moises.
01:42Today on Beyond the Headlines, we turn to a developing story about Cebu City.
01:48The Office of the Ombudsman has found former Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama and former City Assessor Maria Teresa Rossell guilty of oppression and grave abuse of authority.
01:59The ruling is linked to the 2023 reassignment of four personnel from the City Assessor's Office who alleged that the move was unjust and detrimental to public service.
02:11According to the Ombudsman, the officials acted with cruelty and excessive authority by reassigning regular employees without legal basis, removing them from the payroll, and leaving them without defined duties.
02:25As a result, both Rama and Rossell were slapped with the maximum penalty of one-year suspension from public office.
02:34To provide their side of the story, we are now joined by a phone patch by Attorney Colleen Rossell, Legal Counsel of former Mayor Michael Rama.
02:42Attorney Rossell, Good Afternoon.

07:01canang...
07:03gurghng-gurghhan na mga ginda ang
07:04developments any since it started, no?
07:07So in your legal opinion ba,
07:09was due process really properly observed?
07:12Uh, siguro sa atuan ng ana, no? At first, magod ang among ipangita ana, asa ang kopyas sa desisyon, asa ang mga papilis.
07:25Pero sa among pagpangita o sa among pagpangayop, personally, ang ito ginangad to, wala man nitagay.
07:34No? So, nagkangkaitag istorya ni ana, pero maybe not a right time ba?
07:42Ito lang i-raise siguro properly sa forum.
07:46Ang alay lang mahibawaan na grabe kayo ang impact niya ng kasuha
07:52kay maunay nakahulong ni Mayor Rama sa pagsirbisyo, kunya magtuotag punsa siyang kasuha.
08:01Kunya, kagun, ang nahitabo, sa walo ka mo, ipabilin paghihapon si Mayor Rama,

08:23maumanas siyang mga imong i-physically harm, no?
08:27Kunya, karun, ang basihan is ang text na mismo sa memorandum.
08:33So, ngindot na siya pagkakua, no?
08:37Ang lantugi niya, kayo.
08:39Ang text sa memorandum, nahikayo sa mga dipang sunti na likramo sa mga kikanti.
08:49Okay, attorney, katong nag-ge-preventive suspension mo, ang ato ang ge-preventive suspension mo,
08:57because ang ombudsman may nakita nga ligon nga rason nga ka nang isuspend mo pending investigation.
09:06But apparently, of the eight, duha lang ang kaning-kaning one-year suspension.
09:11This is the penalty already, right?
09:14Yes. Oo na siya. Penalty na nang naadya.
09:17Oo. So, katong inyong na-preventive suspension mo, nga walo ka buo,
09:22from eight, nahi mo na lang duha, ngano ka ni attorney?
09:27Eh, labing siguro niya na, tungkol siguro na sa kaligon sa ebidensya.
09:35Ah, okay.
09:36Oo. Kung tungkol sa kaligon sa ebidensya, nabili nga na lagduha ang walo.
09:42Okay. Yes.
09:44Sa katong ge-preventive suspension mo, unsa ang rason?
09:50Was it also ang rason of oppression and grave abuse of authority?
09:54Ang tinudanay lang ito, inflex ka ayo,
10:00muna nangita kami kung kung sa'y basihan.
10:04Nga tapos, sa nang istorya magroon nga,
10:08the evidence of guilt is strong.
10:11Hindi na basta-basta.

13:39Anyway,
13:40ah,
13:41maibong lang punta nga,
13:43sa mayorama taon,
13:44ah,
13:45ah,
13:46ah,
13:47ah,
13:48ah,
13:49ah,
13:50ah,
13:51ah,
13:52attorney just to clarify ba,
13:53because I'm actually lookin' at the,
13:55ah,
13:56the report over Sunstar,
13:57it actually says na,
13:58the ruling was issued on September 1,
14:022025.
14:03So, are we saying that even until now, we don't have a copy of this ruling?
14:12Yes, as I've said, I was only informed by the lawyer two days ago, but less than a week.
14:22Which is actually, looking at it, it actually looks odd.
14:26This is actually September 1, ang ruling na-release, and then it's already October 21.
14:33So, a month.
14:34Yes, and you don't have a copy at all of what this ruling is about.
14:38Yes, but anyway, na-release ang lawyer, just two days or three days ago,
14:52ang punto na to, it may be sufficient already, and we are already very much grateful na nakitabo na siya.
15:01Atay lang din, atong di-historyahan ganina, na ang order of preventive suspension, pangayunin mo, dili, wala.
15:09Mas mayo na lang ganina, kay Rosato Buwan, or no, no, no, no.
15:15Mayo na ni nga development.
15:18Mayo na kay nga improvement.
15:20Sa sistema.
15:22No, no, no.
15:22Atay lang na to, nagbantahon lang na to, niya, na anyway, ang kamaturan mo gawas na magyan na.
15:29Atay ni Rosel, mo file o motion for recon si Mayor Rama?
15:32A hundred percent, because that is required by law, and second is under sa kinin nga mga reklamo o mga desisyon,
15:46na ngayon nga yun na magpa-reconsider ka.
15:49Nakita na na to, nga, again, ako lang yung insulti, kung lang kay strong, evidence of guilt is strong,
15:58so kung pito ka sa tada ng mga papilis, it doesn't take you a minute to decide.
16:03No?
16:04So, if it takes you more than a year to decide, there must be something wrong.
16:09Attorney, I know that my question actually is speculative, no?
16:25Pero I just want to clear the air because I know that some of the viewers, some of them are also possibly asking,
16:31or this is inside their head.
16:33Do you think this type of cases, attorney ba,
16:37Do you think, in your opinion, this is politically motivated?
16:44Para lang ako, sa ako lang as a private person,
16:49with all due respect sa judicial institution,
16:57sa mga tao lang sa city of Cebu,
17:01there's no other kandyanatia point, kandyanatia.
17:07Politically motivated.
17:09Why?
17:10Because look at the timing.
17:12And look at the type of the resolution.
17:14Attorney, do you think ang ombudsman ba,
17:22has been weaponized by politics na magamit siya every elections?
17:27Kaya, on election year or a year before election,
17:30anak manggawas ang mga suspension,
17:33ang mga dismissal,
17:34napabay na ang ombudsman as far as investigations against government officials is concerned?
17:48I think siguro nga,
17:51ito sa ato ang mga congressman ganit,
17:54sa ato ang mga konstitusyon,
17:56kay bisita pag-taos na ombudsman,
18:03pero sa ato ang mga kumundi ay nga marag,
18:08nga nagalaga na istorya na,
18:10who will police the police?
18:11No, correct.
18:13Kung nang mga kumundi ay nang mga kumundi,
18:16so ang problema,
18:17ang kumundi ay nang mga kumundi sa ombudsman.
18:20It's true.
18:21Ang check and balance, right?
18:22Correct.
18:23Okay.
18:24Attorney Rosel,
18:26daghan kayong salamat sa imong huras
18:27o sa clarifications
18:29ngayong gihatag as impact aning kaso.
18:32Hopefully,
18:33I think the battle,
18:34panahuman for Mayor Rama,
18:36so,
18:37let us know what will happen next.
18:43Yeah,
18:44we just pray na lang siguro
18:46for the mayor
18:47and for these cases
18:48and for the truth to prevail.
18:51Okay.
18:51Attorney Rosel,
18:52daghan kayong salamat.
18:55Thank you, everyone.
18:56Thank you, attorney.
18:57So, that was attorney Cullen Rosel.
19:00Siya ang usas sa mga abogado ni Mayor Rama
19:02at the same time,
19:03kung anong said siya,
19:04he was former city administrator.
19:07Kunya asawa po ni niya,
19:08si city assessor.
19:09Former city assessor.
19:10City assessor.
19:11So,
19:13in anit,
19:14tinuadbitaw na siya ipunto sa,
19:16if the evidence was strong
19:19at the time ni serve ka sa preventive suspension,
19:23how come ang ombudsman took them a year
19:26to say na there's lack.
19:28To issue the penalty
19:29and later on says,
19:31the six others were dismissed
19:33because of lack of evidence.
19:35And then,
19:37katong murag,
19:38bothersome to siya nga,
19:39wak sila tagaig kupiya.
19:41Kaya.
19:42So, like,
19:43kupiya sa preventive suspension.
19:46Kanang,
19:47murag,
19:48murag,
19:48is this,
19:50hadok lamang punta nga,

19:56nga ditang maapil ta dito.
19:58Wa gita DJ.
19:59Pero,
20:00I just can,
20:01di ko ka imagine ba,
20:02ikiha ko ni Kenneth,
20:03for example,
20:03o Glybel.
20:05And you don't have the copy.
20:06Makadungog na lang kung,
20:07nga,
20:07gibalita na sa,
20:08nana sa Facebook,

20:17gipa tubags ko,
20:17next thing,
20:18eto,
20:18pusasan ako DJ.
20:20And then you're serving
20:21the suspension,
20:23and you don't even have the copy
20:24of what that suspension is about.
20:27To,
20:27to,
20:27to,
20:28to combat,
20:29or to,
20:30to debate,
20:31to debunk,
20:32whatever is there.
20:33And I will have to go back to,
20:34kaya murag,
20:35i-benchmark,
20:35mga ito ang private practice,
20:37no,
20:37when the notice of suspension
20:39actually is served,
20:40there's really the reading
20:41and the document,
20:43no,
20:43of why the suspension was issued.
20:45I remember,
20:45so this was,
20:46this is odd actually,
20:47that you get suspended,
20:49and then you don't have the copy
20:50of what the suspension was about.
20:51Pero akong gilibugan,
20:52kaya at the time,
20:53kaya bahu ko,
20:54ang DILG nagserve,
20:55ang i-ili itong ipampilit
20:56sa,
20:57sa doors,
20:58sa offices.
20:59So notice,
21:00siguro itong,
21:00nga,
21:01giprevent ka,
21:01but it,
21:02wala siguro siya nagsuti.
21:03The content,
21:04no,
21:04of the,
21:05what sa man na,
21:05the resolution,
21:07or whatever.
21:07So that,
21:07mo na yung side ni,
21:09side sa ni Mayor Rahman,
21:10ano nga,
21:11ka nang,
21:12ma,
21:12maano sila ba nga,
21:14ka nang,
21:16strong kayang evidence,
21:18mo nang giserve de ang suspension,
21:20sa 8,
21:20sa 8,
21:21but how come,
21:21later on,
21:22more than 50%,
21:24this is actually 75%,
21:26right?
21:2775% natangtang,
21:29because of lack of evidence.
21:32So does this mean nga,
21:33sa Duhara ang strong evidence?
21:35So sa Duhara,
21:36actually di ang sadan,
21:37was it,
21:38kay ang kaning siku an,
21:39kaning si,
21:40City Assessor,
21:42ihaman itong mga tao,
21:43so as Department Head,
21:45siya'y nag-order.
21:46Or maybe this is the chain of command,
21:48siguro.
21:49Si Mayor Rahman,
21:50kasi siya may mayor.
21:51Mayor.
21:52Maybe,
21:52we're just,
21:53corno.

21:56saan may karoon panagsani DJ.
21:58But that's a possibility,
22:00no?
22:00O,
22:01di ba nga?
22:01Marag chain of command.
22:03Yes.
22:03Ang office of the ombudsman
22:05found former Mayor Rahman

23:08yung nakalimot na Kwanad to nga,
23:09murag,
23:10there also appeared to be
23:11a pattern sa last election,
23:13nga,
23:14uso ang Kwanad to,
23:16which I have not seen
23:17in the previous,
23:18kanang elections,
23:19in terms of the number ba,

23:22that are filed

23:25Jonas Cortez,
23:27kapil lagi suspend
23:28si Jonas Cortez,
23:29si Mayor Jonas,
23:30so,
23:31kanang,
23:31ma-weaponize ba nga,
23:33kanina makasuha was earlier,
23:35pero,
23:35nga nung,
23:37on election season,
23:38paspusking makadesign
23:39ang ombudsman,
23:40pero after election season,
23:42tanawa one year to decide
23:43a case with a very strong evidence,
23:45so,
23:46di ba,
23:47kanang,
23:47kanasad ba,
23:48I hope with a new ombudsman,
23:51si,
23:51kanang,
23:52Crispin Rimulya,
23:54kanang,
23:54things will change.
23:56Kisak tomasad niya,
23:56who will police the police?
23:58Di ba?
23:59And that,
23:59that question actually is sad,
24:02no?
24:02Because,
24:04it's,
24:04it's,
24:05it's a role of trust,
24:06it's a position of trust.
24:08So,
24:09listen kayo nga,
24:10magsigig,
24:10police to the trust,
24:12because we cannot trust
24:13those who we trust,
24:14we should trust.
24:15Because trust builds communities.
24:18Kung wala'y community mahimu,
24:20kung ang mga tao din,
24:21ha,
24:21huwag nagsiniligay.
24:22Magduda, sige.
24:22So,
24:23kung,
24:24ang atong community diliusa,
24:26ha,
24:26huwag na gita'y padulungan ni ni DG,
24:28iahay ta'y ni,
24:29ija-ija gita'y ni,
24:30ija-ija.
24:31Tanan suspect.
24:31Tanan suspect.
24:33So,
24:33without trust,
24:34maglisod yun o build ang nation,
24:36you know?
24:37So,
24:38kagahapun di ay naikolom
24:39si attorney Batuhan,
24:41adi di attorney Sayup,
24:42sa business,
24:45na,
24:46ku'an ka,
24:46Ayudij,
24:47ka nang,
24:48ku'an kay ba nga,
24:50the,
24:51the,
24:52why Visayas and Mindanao
24:53deserve better
24:54than a dynasty's dream.
24:56The mirage of secession nga.
24:58Mulahi na ang,
24:59the Republic of Visayas,
25:01the Republic of Mindanao,
25:03and the Republic of Luzon.
25:04But,
25:05naingon sila,
25:05Visayas and Mindanao,
25:07kaya na maglisod ko na on their own
25:08because,
25:09wala ko na tayo enough resources.
25:11Hello?
25:12I,
25:12I,
25:12I disagree.
25:13Eh,
25:14hello?
25:14Muragdaghan kanina,
25:16buong resources na asa Manila
25:18from,
25:18pila ka,
25:19skyways ditch.
25:20And,
25:21concept, no?
25:21Kaya murag,
25:22I have not updated myself,
25:24but if my information and knowledge
25:26remains current,
25:28I think that's even
25:29one of the grounds
25:32why,
25:33kanang,
25:34they want to move
25:35from a centralized government,
25:38di ba?
25:38To a decentralized one
25:40because the resources
25:42are actually majority
25:43of the revenue
25:44from these cities
25:46and provinces
25:47are actually poured
25:48in Metro Manila,
25:49no?
25:49Paon man dito.
25:50Correct.
25:51And then,
25:51redistributed after.
25:54So,
25:54with that kind of ground,
25:57it would actually tell us
25:58that there's really
25:58a lot of resources
25:59that were poured
26:01to the capital region
26:03instead of
26:04the local governments
26:05and also
26:06to be able to
26:07use those resources
26:09in their own
26:09infrastructure projects.
26:11spirit of decentralization
26:13to empower
26:15each local government,
26:18di ba?
26:18Kaya,
26:19sila binaninkamot
26:20so you can earn.
26:21Sila binaninkamot
26:22and everything,
26:22but how come
26:23if they're
26:23going to be able to
26:24it's kind of difficult
26:25to make sure
26:25that the governor
26:27is going to be able
26:27to make sure
26:28that he's going to
26:29Manila
26:30for projects
26:30in any.
26:32Why do we have
26:34to beg in the first place?
26:35Although,
26:36I am still
26:37for one
26:38Philippines.
26:39Of course.
26:40But,
26:40I'll just comment
26:41on this
26:41because I disagree
26:42on the statement
26:43that Visayas
26:45and Mindanao
26:46cannot stand
26:47on their own.
26:48I disagree.
26:49But I go
26:50for one
26:50Philippines
26:51but I disagree
26:52that Visayas
26:53and Mindanao
26:54cannot.
26:55One Philippines
26:57equal distribution
26:58of the resources.
27:00And I know
27:01that this is not
27:02just common
27:03to the Philippines.
27:04It's a problem
27:05about the capital region
27:06and the rest
27:06of the region.
27:08But I would hope
27:09also that
27:10the mentality
27:11will have to change.
27:14It's a common joke.
27:16When we go to Manila,
27:18automatic by default,
27:19they will always ask
27:20saan yung province?
27:21As if everything else
27:23is a province.
27:25But that's a common,
27:26di ba?
27:27It's like,
27:29why?
27:30Do we have
27:30any other cities
27:32outside
27:32Metro Manila?
27:34I don't know
27:34if I'm not
27:35going to go to Manila.
27:35I don't know
27:36if I'm not going to go
27:36to Manila.
27:37I'm going to go to
27:38the Imperial Sebu.
27:42No,
27:42but he's not
27:43thinking.
27:44He's not going to
27:45be one.
27:46Everybody wants
27:46to be one
27:47instead of
27:48this is already
27:50the time.
27:51The generation
27:52of collaboration.
27:53Hopefully,
27:53the younger.
27:54Thank you for
27:55bringing it up.
27:55Hopefully,
27:55the younger generation
27:57will change that.
27:58Anyway,
27:59this is already
27:59a generation
28:00who are said
28:01to be more
28:01inclusive.
28:02inclusive.
28:03So,
28:03I think when we
28:04say inclusive,
28:04this is not
28:05just about
28:05the world,
28:06but inclusive
28:07in terms of
28:08being a country.
28:10Supposedly,
28:10Filipinos from
28:11Visayas and
28:12Mindanao
28:12should be no
28:13different from
28:14the Filipinos
28:14in the capital
28:15region.
28:16They're the same.
28:17Filipinos.
28:17For me,
28:19we're just
28:20the Philippines.
28:21Correct.
28:21It's like,
28:22it's not
28:24that geographically
28:27it's still
28:28the mindset.
28:29This one is
28:31a classic
28:32experience that
28:33I had first
28:34had.
28:35And I know
28:36that this was
28:36really said
28:37out of humor.
28:38But many years
28:39ago,
28:39I attended a
28:40conference in
28:41Manila.
28:42And then,
28:42the economist,
28:43the speaker,
28:44I will not
28:44actually name
28:45the economist,
28:46actually made
28:46this comment.
28:47And he or
28:49she,
28:49so I didn't
28:50reveal the
28:51gender,
28:51actually said
28:52that,
28:52actually,
28:53Cebu is already
28:54much progressive
28:55because the
28:56people there
28:57would say
28:58SSS,
28:59not
28:59IS-IS-IS.
29:01And everybody
29:05laughed.
29:06And while
29:07it was funny,
29:08but I was also
29:09with the other
29:10Cebu,
29:10so we'd look
29:10at each other
29:11because we said,
29:12we don't say
29:13IS-IS-IS.
29:14We say
29:14SSS.
29:16So,
29:17demeaning?
29:18Well,
29:18are you right?
29:18Didn't you
29:19pronounce correctly?
29:21So,
29:21it's a joke,
29:23but sometimes
29:24it's a reflection
29:25of their bias
29:26against the
29:27province.
29:27Just how
29:28they call
29:29their helpers
29:29Inday.
29:30When in fact
29:31in Cebu,
29:32Inday is an
29:33endearment.
29:35That means
29:36your love.
29:38They all
29:39call their
29:40helpers
29:40Inday.
29:41Inday.
29:42So,
29:43I think,
29:43I would
29:44agree now
29:45that we're
29:46moving towards
29:47Generation Z
29:48who is more
29:49inclusive
29:50compared to
29:51the other
29:52generations.
29:52We will look
29:53at ourselves
29:54as really
29:54Filipinos.
29:55All of us,
29:56Filipinos.
29:57The status
29:57of DJ's
29:58generation,
29:59even in
30:01the
30:02neighborhood,
30:03right?
30:03They're
30:04breathing the
30:06same air.
30:08Come on.
30:09Well,
30:09maybe aircon
30:10if you don't
30:10but still.
30:16I remember
30:17a generation
30:18that
30:19if you're
30:20old,
30:20you're
30:20school.
30:21If you're
30:21old,
30:22you're
30:22school.
30:23You're
30:23old.
30:23The other
30:24thing also,
30:26at least in
30:27the industry,
30:29they are also
30:29surprised when
30:30people would
30:31say,
30:31people in
30:33the Visayas
30:34or even
30:35in Cebu,
30:35we have a
30:36neutral
30:37English accent.
30:38Because
30:39when we speak
30:42Tagalog,
30:42they would
30:43assume that
30:49we would also
30:49speak English
30:50in that manner.
30:51But I would
30:51always tell
30:52them,
30:53and this is
30:54not because
30:54Cebu is better
30:55than Manila.
30:56It's just that
30:57we have more
30:58practice.
30:59because Cebuano
31:02is not the
31:02national
31:03language.
31:04So,
31:05the next
31:06default when
31:07we want to
31:08communicate with
31:08other people
31:09is really
31:09English.
31:11So,
31:11that explains
31:12the reason
31:13why we have
31:13better,
31:14in my opinion,
31:15proficiency.
31:16We have more
31:16practice.
31:18So,
31:18can you
31:21pass the
31:22button,
31:22please?
31:23Practice it.
31:24Can you
31:25move the
31:25ilaw?
31:26Can you
31:26move the
31:27ilaw?
31:27maybe I
31:31think so.
31:35It's true.
31:36Maybe,
31:37definitely.
31:38But really,
31:42I think it's
31:42really high
31:43time that
31:43we think
31:44we're not
31:46from Visayas,
31:47Mindanao,
31:47or Luzon,
31:48but we are
31:48Filipinos.
31:49And to
31:50check our,
31:51this is not
31:52the first time
31:52also that
31:53somebody issued
31:53that kind
31:54of statement.
31:54Check also
31:55our facts
31:56and information.
31:57about the
31:58state of
31:58the economy
31:59in the
32:00Visayas
32:01and Mindanao
32:01before we
32:02make sweeping
32:04generalizations
32:05like that.
32:06If you can
32:07work
32:08in other
32:11Filipinos
32:12in other
32:14islands
32:14of the
32:15Philippines,
32:16you can
32:16be
32:17separated
32:18geographically,
32:22this mindset
32:24mindset.
32:24So,
32:25it would
32:25really be
32:26very
32:26difficult
32:26to move
32:27forward.
32:28Mula
32:28tag
32:28nagsinulog
32:29ang
32:29Pilipinas,
32:30atras,
32:31duhasad ka
32:32step
32:32abante.
32:33Atras,
32:34kanang,
32:34pwede
32:36dilan ta
32:36magsinulog mo,
32:37at padaya
32:38na lang yun.
32:39Just
32:39marching,
32:41dance lang yun.
32:42Kaya,
32:43kanang,
32:44wa,
32:45we love
32:45our country
32:45so much,
32:46but yet,
32:46kita rapoy
32:47nagdestroy.
32:48some friends
32:51outside of
32:52the Philippines
32:52said,
32:53I think
32:53that's the
32:54price of
32:54freedom.
32:56Which is
32:57supposedly,
32:58we would
32:59capitalize on
33:00the strength
33:00of freedom.
33:02But,
33:02kanisya nga
33:02freedom,
33:03tungod kay,
33:03there's so much
33:04freedom
33:05of speech,
33:07of expression,
33:08kanang,
33:09what na,
33:09kanang,
33:10crab mentality na ba?
33:11We pull each other.
33:13No,
33:13so,
33:13so,
33:13for me,
33:14freedom of speech,
33:16just like democracy,
33:17is power
33:17and responsibility.
33:19It doesn't mean
33:20that we are free
33:20to say
33:21everything we want
33:22to say.
33:23There are laws,
33:23my dear.
33:24There are laws,
33:25nga,
33:25kung pataka sa
33:26kagstorya liha,
33:28bilang guan.
33:29And I don't know
33:30if it's being
33:30taught pa ka ron
33:31sa mga,
33:32political science
33:33is a minor,
33:34social science
33:35subject,
33:35regardless of
33:36the course.
33:36I think na pa
33:37siguro political
33:37science.
33:38And there was
33:38really something
33:39na kananggisulti
33:40sa professor,
33:41but that until
33:42now,
33:42I still recall,
33:44is,
33:45the,
33:46what na,
33:46my right
33:47ends
33:48is when
33:48your right
33:49begins.
33:51And for me,
33:51profound,
33:52at that moment
33:53because it was
33:54able to define
33:55to me
33:55what my
33:56boundaries are.
33:58So,
33:58gone were the days
33:59that I would say
34:00prior to that,
34:00this is a free
34:01country,
34:02I can do
34:02whatever I want.
34:03Wrong,
34:04wrong,
34:04wrong.
34:05Because the
34:05others,
34:05they also have
34:06their rights.
34:06Dili man ikaw
34:08raang nai-rights.
34:08Correct.
34:09Everybody,
34:10I think,
34:10ang key there
34:11is really respect.
34:12Correct.
34:13Bisang pag-unsa
34:14ang estado niya
34:15sa kinabuhi,
34:16we have to
34:16respect each other
34:17or else,
34:18uncivilized.
34:19Agree.
34:20So,
34:20it's a minor subject
34:21pero lawum siya
34:22o ka ng implication.
34:24May yung tayo na
34:24na tatong mga
34:25estudyante na karoon,
34:26dili kay,
34:27nag-online class
34:28na pag humag-attendance,
34:29mag-bauw,
34:30nagpangita ang teacher
34:31na toog na di ay,
34:33na i-teacher
34:34nag-yaw-yawa na
34:35sa Facebook
34:36na kita na ko.
34:37And by,
34:38ah, sige.
34:38Pwede na ang
34:39check attendance niya
34:40in the middle
34:41of the,
34:42or sa last guy.
34:43Malagigipangita na,
34:44Kenneth,
34:45Kenneth,
34:45wala namang
34:46gudito ba si Kenneth?
34:47Uy,
34:47susunsa ba di ay na?
34:49Missing in action
34:50mas Kenneth.
34:50And by the way,
34:52kanisa,
34:52I was surprised,
34:54I will not also name
34:55the LGU,
34:56no?
34:57But they still
34:57don't have
34:58kenang classes
34:59and they're not
35:00in the epicenter.
35:02I have to be
35:02specific.
35:03I wonder
35:04actually,
35:05because
35:06safety is
35:09important.
35:09I get that.
35:10But I hope
35:11people also
35:12recognize that
35:13our declining
35:14literacy rate
35:15is a problem.
35:17So,
35:17Murag,
35:18both of them
35:19should be treated
35:19with urgency.
35:21I wonder,
35:21it's been,
35:23pila na ka days,
35:24no?
35:24Almost 30 days.
35:25And,
35:26wala y klasi?
35:27Yeah.
35:28And they're not
35:28in the epicenter.
35:29How are they
35:30going to
35:31extend?
35:31Wala yun,
35:32vacation?
35:32I'm surprised
35:34yun.
35:34And mo namin ko nga,
35:35I hope,
35:36wala lang sila,
35:37I hope,
35:37they just are not
35:38riding to the
35:40shield of safety.
35:42When in reality,
35:44maybe there's also
35:45the lack of motivation
35:46to go to school.
35:47Vacation mode.
35:48Maulagi.
35:48Early Christmas
35:49vacation mode.
35:50And again,
35:51safety is important,
35:52but so is
35:53education.
35:54Sa amo,
35:55sa amo,
35:55dij,
35:56tuluman akong
35:56eskwela,
35:57line-line corners,
35:59ako diri,
35:59ako diri,
36:00ako diri,
36:00mag-online class
36:01na sila.
36:02So,
36:03inana ka nang,
36:04naara sila sa balay,
36:05pero nag-online class
36:06na ang mga
36:08eskwelaan sa Cebu.
36:09That's a good point.
36:10Ang girefer gina ko
36:11are primary schools.
36:12Yeah,
36:13ang kon mag-on ako,
36:14ang concern mag-on ako,
36:17if they go remote,
36:18I think we've also
36:19learned from the pandemic
36:20mag-on nga,
36:21their parents also struggle,
36:23some of their parents
36:23struggle with reading.
36:25They struggle also
36:26with math.
36:28So,
36:28what will the student
36:29get from an
36:31online
36:32modular class
36:34with a pseudo-teacher
36:36who has difficulty
36:38reading
36:38and doing
36:39addition,
36:40subtraction,
36:41multiplication?
36:42So,
36:42that's my worry.
36:43Actually,
36:44kaya nang
36:45matan ako,
36:46nag-class naman sila,
36:47makadungog ba ya ko?
36:48Kaya nang,
36:49it's difficult for the teacher,
36:51pero,
36:51it's better na lang
36:53kaysa tagaan na lang ka,
36:54kung Q&A niya,
36:56mo answer ka
36:57without an explanation.
36:58Correct.
36:59Kaya to siya gani,
36:59ang iha ganing
37:00gi-explain is,
37:01I think,
37:03quantum.
37:04Tee!
37:05Quantum!
37:06I think quantum to
37:07akong na-abdance
37:08sa akong grade 8,
37:10nga sudyante,
37:11nga naminang ko,
37:12nga,
37:12ni-explain siya
37:13sa mga kanang,
37:14sa,
37:15kanang table of elements.
37:17Nga ninyo,
37:17di ako nakma,
37:18palitin kong table of elements
37:19ko,
37:20doon kada school year
37:21na malta mo palit
37:22yung table of elements,
37:23duda ko na,
37:24parang yun na sa mga suksuok po,
37:25kaya,
37:26kung ano ba siya,
37:26i-graduate niya mo,
37:27we have already
37:28a hundred of table of elements,
37:30di ha?
37:30And,
37:31and,
37:31we'll take na gin siya
37:32o chemistry
37:33as a major.
37:34I just go.
37:36So,
37:36mauna siya,
37:37I think,
37:37kanang,
37:38well,
37:39depende gin siguro na siya
37:40sa school,
37:41and,
37:41tinood gin na,
37:42and the dedication
37:43of the teachers,
37:44but I believe,
37:44mas maayo pa
37:45ang online class
37:46kaysa modular.
37:47Modular.
37:48Sa bugo,
37:49I think,
37:49it's difficult to go
37:50online class,
37:51kay challenge,
37:52ang internet,
37:53sa mga bata,
37:54way mga laptop,
37:56sarong na na to.
37:56So,
37:57kaning nag-modular class
37:58that I know,
37:59blind item lang,
38:00it's not bugo,
38:01or even close to that area.
38:03It just happened to be
38:04in the north.
38:05somewhere in the
38:07northern part
38:09of Cebu,
38:10which is nearer
38:11to Cebu City.
38:12Nearer to Cebu City,
38:13even,
38:14I will have to say it.
38:15So,
38:15naa siya sa tunga,
38:17tunga,
38:17or even
38:18sa kaabot,
38:18sa katunga.
38:20And concerned langit ko,
38:21ana,
38:21but it's true.
38:23The industry,
38:24the BPO industry,
38:25have already
38:26raised the red flag,
38:29the red flag,
38:29that our
38:30English competency
38:32is
38:33going down.
38:33Pwede pa kum-comment,
38:34ana?
38:35Sige pa dahin yun.
38:35Because,
38:36sige,
38:36because this one,
38:38i-blind item niya po na to,
38:39is a
38:39Hilig lagi ni siya
38:40blind item
38:41kung kadlawan eh.
38:42It's a Cebu City school,
38:44no?
38:44And this happened
38:45sometime
38:452015,
38:48no?
38:49So,
38:49before pandemic.
38:50And then,
38:51we had an outreach
38:52sa school.
38:53The game was
38:54message relay.
38:56So,
38:56what we did
38:57to make it fun,
38:58ang katong mga ate,
39:00katong mga grade 5,
39:01o kuya,
39:02mo yung nasa front,
39:03the kids were at the back.
39:04Para si ate o si kuya
39:05ang mo-read sa message.
39:07One line did not move.
39:10And we were,
39:11because we did not know,
39:12what was the problem?
39:14Because ate,
39:16grade 5 student,
39:17could not read
39:18what the message was.
39:21So,
39:21that to me
39:22was a
39:23wake-up call.
39:24Okay,
39:24why do we have
39:25grade 5 students
39:26who could not read
39:28a sentence
39:30for a message relay.
39:32And this was
39:33before the pandemic.
39:34So,
39:35I can just imagine,
39:36grade 5 naman siya.
39:38But it's true.
39:39Kaya nga,
39:39no?
39:39I remember,
39:40early grade school
39:42sa akong mga anak,
39:43ang mga teachers
39:44na ang gimoriklamo,
39:45nga,
39:46tungod lagi,
39:47anang,
39:48rule sa DepEd
39:50before nga,
39:51walang maiiwan.
39:52So,
39:53pag-radurito na lang,
39:54paprocedure na lang
39:55sa next,
39:55bisag na apa siya
39:56deficiency.
39:57So,
39:57that is why,
39:58not to slammerog
39:59summer classes,
40:00but if that is the case,
40:01nga,
40:01abot ka grade 5,
40:03nga,
40:03dili pa ka makabasa,
40:05so,
40:05wala gini mo na cope
40:06ang imo.
40:06And this was
40:07before the pandemic.
40:09So,
40:09mao to nga,
40:09during the pandemic,
40:10na worried,
40:11nagyud ko.
40:11Kaya,
40:11murabag,
40:12I mean,
40:13it happened
40:14before the pandemic.
40:15How much more
40:16sakit siya.
40:16So,
40:16when I saw the
40:17literacy rate,
40:18I wasn't surprised
40:19at all.
40:21signs,
40:22no?
40:22Even before the pandemic
40:24that something like this
40:25is really bound to happen.
40:26So,
40:26ang pangutanan na to
40:27ni senator,
40:28di nede siya senator,
40:29ni secretary Angara,
40:31what is your
40:32literacy strategy?
40:34That's a very
40:35valid
40:36question,
40:38yun.
40:38Dili ka mga hatag lang
40:39tag-laptop, sir,
40:40ha,
40:41or mga hatag tag-kuan,
40:42but
40:42mas may siguro,
40:44if i-mong mga hatag,
40:45what is your strategy
40:47to improve
40:48the English literacy
40:49or even improve
40:51the native tongue?
40:53Oo.
40:53Nga,
40:54katun,
40:54na-mention ni mo,
40:55I think,
40:55dagha naman igpangalan,
40:56but the last name
40:58I knew was
40:59Catch Up Friday,
41:01you know,
41:01but the question
41:02ganian ni is,
41:03until when sila
41:05mag-catch up?
41:06Okay,
41:07pag
41:07catch up na sila
41:08sa grade one,
41:09catch up mag-in sila
41:10sa grade two,
41:11catch up sila sa three.
41:12So,
41:12kanus-a mag-in sila mo?
41:13Na-abay,
41:14na-abay
41:15system
41:16that will tell nga,
41:17okay,
41:18go na ka,
41:18no need for
41:19catch up,
41:19or go back,
41:21you need more
41:21catch up.
41:22Correct.
41:23For me,
41:24this is a problem
41:25that we may not
41:26want to look at,
41:27okay,
41:28I would understand
41:29every parent
41:30would always
41:31want their children
41:32to graduate,
41:33not to progress.
41:34I get that.
41:35But sometimes,
41:35there's also realities
41:36that we have to look at,
41:37okay,
41:38what's the point
41:38of moving forward
41:40academically,
41:42but still not proficient
41:45to actually make
41:46a decent living.
41:48Diba?
41:49So,
41:49you have to make
41:50a piece of paper,
41:51but not
41:53employable.
41:54So,
41:55okay,
41:57bachelor's degree,
41:57oh,
41:58yeah,
41:58bagar na data.
42:00So,
42:02these are hard,
42:04that's why I would
42:05agree with the strategy.
42:07This is a hard truth
42:09that we have to look at.
42:10The strategy
42:11of Secretary Angara
42:13to improve the competencies
42:15atong mga estudyante
42:16nga nag-anam
42:17o ka-uso.
42:18So,
42:18di ba,
42:19murag national
42:21trabaho na raba
42:22karoon ang BPO,
42:23kaming BPO,
42:24nagswildoan
42:25ng everything.
42:25So,
42:25how,
42:26saan na to,
42:26pag-catch
42:27ang trabaho,
42:28kung we are not
42:29producing the
42:30kind of
42:32kanang
42:33people with the right
42:34proficiency,
42:35you know?
42:35Saan na lang na na to.
42:37So,
42:37di chak to
42:38kanang
42:39pwede ka mag-negosyo.
42:40Pilata,
42:41pwede na mag-negosyo
42:42o kanang
42:43English
42:44catch-up
42:45school.
42:46No, actually,
42:46there is.
42:47Nag-e,
42:47mag-in-anat na lang
42:50si Guru Tanit.
42:52Muran ni siya
42:53ang kinengkon
42:53for near-hires,
42:54meaning they're
42:55almost there
42:56but not there.
42:57So,
42:57there's an intervention
42:58for that.
43:00It's a two-week course.
43:01Na-ai capacity,
43:03pero dili ka sulte.
43:05So,
43:05mag-mauna siya
43:06ang challenge din na.
43:07Anyway,
43:08gamay na lang
43:09among uras.

43:54nga,
43:55more personnel,
43:56more signs.
43:58Actually,
43:59Merg,
44:00this is my impression.
44:02When I look at the news,
44:03it sounded more like a preparation for the president's visit.
44:08Rather than,
44:09rather than making sure that the BRT is really working.
44:12All the problems na kita during the route inspection,
44:17karo ko na, Dej.
44:18Test run.
44:19Nga,

44:37He actually mentioned about certain adjustments,
44:39but,
44:40di lang specific,

44:43Oo.
44:44Ay,

49:25of Beyond the Headlines.
49:26I hope,
49:27nakasabot mo sa punto nga
49:29atong giistoryahan.
49:30Karoon labi na ang
49:31kaling kaso ni Mayor Mike Rama
49:33nga dito sa ombudsman nga.
49:36Unsa mag-indihay,
49:37kain naman sa ito siya
49:38ay punto,
49:38si ang abogado ni Mayor Mike.
49:41O nga nung na inaniman
49:42na suspenso na ganit sila.
49:44But later on,
49:45lack of evidence,
49:4675% of those
49:47preventively suspended
49:49na dismissed sa.
49:50And then,
49:51if the evidence is so strong,
49:53why it takes
49:53on the ombudsman a year
49:55to decide on the matter.
49:57So,
49:58nasan sila.
49:59These are points
50:01na we cannot just ignore also.
50:03They have their,
50:04even if sila ang
50:05gireklamo,
50:06naman sa sila'y rights.
50:08Everybody has to respect
50:09each other's rights.
