00:02The congressional approval is needed based on the answer to the question of Senator Ontivero.
00:08So has it been communicated to both houses?
00:13I think a letter was submitted to the committee chairs, but we were willing to go on special session.
00:25May we know, number one, no GAA funds needed, it's with PNOC, and all it needed was congressional approval.
00:35And bicameral, ang dali naman, isa lang na araw yan.
00:40May I know, kailan po binigay ng DOE sa Senado, kailan natanggap yung sulat,
00:49kailan binigay sa atensyon ng leadership at ng chair ng komite,
00:54may we know? I mean, this is what I mean, we act with urgency.
00:58It's not a matter of walang pondo. May pondo, it came from DOE's information, congressional approval.
01:07So it doesn't take too much if it's an urgent matter.
01:11We were able to pass the excise tax, and to be fair to the chair, kaagad nagtrabaho at napasa po
01:16namin.
01:17So kailan po ito?
01:21Yeah, PNOC is here, Mr. Chair.
01:24Initially, itong first two cargos actually, merong releasable fund pa si PNOC-EC?
01:33That's why we bought the first cargo.
01:34And then there's a second cargo coming in.
01:37Yes, ito po tinatanong yung ilang cargo.
01:40Simple question.
01:41If the DOE says that all it needs is congressional approval,
01:47and the PNOC has the funds,
01:49and you said that the letters were sent,
01:52because it is important that the people know
01:55that letters are not sitting in the Senate without action.
02:00We would know if there is a letter that is deemed urgent.
02:06Kasi wala ang inyong DOE secretary eh.
02:09Wala dito eh.
02:10And nandito siya last week.
02:12Sinabi ba niya sa chairman ng energy?
02:15Sinabi ba niya sa leadership sa Senado?
02:18Wala.
02:19Ang kanyang linalabi yung biofuel.
02:23Sinabi ba yan?
02:24Because this is so urgent.
02:26It did not come from us.
02:27It came from the DOE.
02:28May I just know the date?
02:31Sir, I know you're a technical person,
02:33and you seem very knowledgeable.
02:36I just need to know, it's an admin matter.
02:39Can we kindly put on record,
02:41after this presentation, Mr. Chair, just bear with me,
02:43so that hindi ang itsura nakapending sa Senado,
02:47tapos sasabihin niyo,
02:48kasi po nag-break, excuse me,
02:51hindi po nag-break ang Senado
02:53na hindi ina-actionan ang hinihiling ng executive.
02:57Dalawa ang inyong hininge.
02:59Excise tax, napasa namin.
03:01At sabihin niyo, on the record,
03:02kailan niyo ma-implement yan,
03:04at ang gulo ninyo.
03:06Sinabi niyo, excise tax,
03:09kailangan urgent.
03:10Nung napasa namin,
03:11sinabi, we will see.
03:13Yan, galing sa inyo yan, ha?
03:14Kung gagamitin.
03:16Tapos, the next day,
03:17o sige na nga.
03:18Ano ba?
03:19Ano ba?
03:20Kailangan ba?
03:21Hindi.
03:22It was deemed urgent,
03:23napasa.
03:24Tapos, pagkapasa namin,
03:25we will see.
03:26I'm quoting the executive,
03:28nang galing sa inyo yan.
03:29Tapos ngayon,
03:30gagawin na.
03:31And cite the impact,
03:33mararamdaman pa.
03:34Yun ang sabi ng chair no,
03:35ni Sena Tropia.
03:36Ano ang ramdam
03:38sa pagbaba
03:39o pagkaltas
03:40ng excise tax?
03:41Yung biofuel,
03:42maraming concerns
03:44sa mga coconut
03:45and sugar farmers.
03:47Pero itong sinabi niyong
03:48low-hanging fruit,
03:50congressional approval.
03:51Tapos, nagsabi po kayo,
03:52Sir, with all due respect,
03:54kasi po nag-break,
03:55hindi po magandang pakinggan yan.
03:57Hindi po mag-break
03:59ang Senado
03:59kung sinabi niyong
04:01kailangan ng congressional approval
04:03ang paggamit ng PNOC
04:05ng kanilang pondo.
04:07Pakilagay po sa record
04:08after your presentation
04:10and we give a chance
04:11to the others,
04:12Mr. Chair.
04:13Because it's important
04:14na hindi tinuturo sa atin
04:16na nag-break tayo
04:17kaya ang PNOC
04:18hindi makagamit
04:19ng kanyang pera.
04:20That's unfair.
04:21Eh, ang sekretary nga ninyo
04:22wala dito eh.
04:24Kung anong pamumulitik
04:25ang ginagawa na naman
04:26ng sekretary nyo.
04:28Break tayo session
04:29pero tuloy-tuloy pa ho
04:31yung aming hearing.
04:32Of course.
04:33At kung kailangan po
04:34mag-convene,
04:35ready naman po
04:36magkaroon ng special session
04:37at any time.
04:39when did you give the letter?
04:41Kasi,
04:41alam nyo,
04:42hindi pwedeng tinuturo-turo nyo kami.
04:45Hindi nyo pwedeng sinasabi.
04:47Makinig kayo.
04:48Huwag kayo nagpapalusot dito ha.
04:50Sinasabi nyo,
04:51ah, yung letter
04:52nasa inyo eh.
04:53Tapos nag-break kayo.
04:55Double jeopardy.
04:56Hindi pwede yun.
04:57Sorry.
04:58Hindi po kami papayag nun.
05:00Kung alam po namin
05:01hindi kami mag-break,
05:02tama po ang chair.
05:03Kino mo nga,
05:04mag-break.
05:04Gusto nyo,
05:05Holy Week,
05:05magtrabaho tayo dito eh.
05:06Darating natin ng secretary.
05:09Burn the midnight candle.
05:11Walang labasan sa kwarto.
05:12Hanggang hindi nakita
05:14ang pagtulong sa atang tao.
05:16Pero huwag nyo sasabihin
05:17na nag-break kami.
05:18Kaya hindi napasa
05:19yung hiniling ng DOE
05:21na congressional approval.
05:25Hindi po sir.
05:26Hindi nyo kasalanan yun.
05:27Kasi wala ang inyong
05:28sekretarya.
05:32I can't think of anything
05:34more important
05:36than this hearing
05:38convened by the chair.
05:41And if the other cabinet members
05:43are here,
05:44why could the most
05:45important department
05:48not be present?
05:50Okay.
