00:00Sumalang na sa plenaryo ng Senado ang proposed 2026 national budget.
00:04Kumusta naman kaya ang budget ng kontrobersyal na kagawaran ngayon ng DPWH?
00:10Alaming sa report ni Daniel Manalastas.
00:15The General Appropriations Act of 2026 stands as both the instrument of our national development
00:21and a pledge towards the restoration of government's credibility in the eyes of its people.
00:27In-sponsoran na sa plenaryo ng Senado ang P6.793 trillion proposed 2026 national budget.
00:37Tumayo si Senate Committee on Finance Chairperson Sherwin Gatchalian para himayin ang nilalaman nito.
00:43Pero isa sa pinakamalaking tanong ngayon,
00:45kumusta ang budget para sa Department of Public Works and Highways
00:49na nahaharap ngayon sa kontrobersiya at mga aligasyon ng korupsyon?
00:53The proposed budget for the Department of Public Works and Highways
00:58will be set at 568.56 billion pesos.
01:02We reduced the budget of the Department by 55.91 billion.
01:08During the hearings, we discovered several red flags,
01:11such as roads with no station IDs, duplicate projects, projects in multiple phases.
01:16As an additional safeguard against corruption,
01:19all DPWH projects have station ID numbers, bridge IDs, and school IDs included in the committee report.
01:27But hindi ng Senador ang hinaing ng taong bayan dahil sa korupsyon sa flood control projects.
01:33Pero tila hindi magtatapos na lang sa inis.
01:36And as the recent protests have shown us, public outcry is loud and clear.
01:42People have lost faith in government.
01:45We are determined to restore what has been lost, leadership, accountability, and transparency.
01:52Tiniyak naman ang Senador na sa versyon ng Senado sa budget,
01:56nakaangkla ito sa Philippine Development Plan ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
02:01Kasabay ang pagtitiyak sa maayos na pondo para sa edukasyon, kalusugan, trabaho, ayuda, at marami pang iba.
02:09To sustain growth and create jobs, let us invest in production and innovation.
02:14One of our most urgent priorities is addressing the nation's long-standing classroom backlog.
02:21The Senate increased the operating funds of DOH hospitals by 9.3 billion pesos.
02:28Marami sa ating mayhirap ang umaasa pa rin sa mga social services ng pamalaan.
02:33This is why the Department of Social Welfare and Development was allocated 230 billion pesos.
02:40At sa harap ng problema sa West Philippine Sea dahil sa pangigipit na mga barko ng China,
02:46sa mga barko ng Pilipinas, mukhang masusulusunan yan dahil tiniyak ang pondo para sa Philippine Coast Guard,
02:53pati na sa modernization program.
02:55This allocation is the highest defense spending of the country relative to its economic size
03:00and will surely strengthen our capabilities, address our defense-related needs.
03:07Together with this is the modernization of the AFP.
03:11Inaasahan sa mga susunod na araw, pagdedebatihan ng mga senador ang panukalang budget.
03:17Daniel Manalastas para sa Pambansang TV sa Bagong Pilipinas.
03:21That's all in-serves.
03:22That's you.
03:22That's all.
03:23That's all.
