00:00 In addition to the 2024 proposed budget of the Transportation Department,
00:06 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also discussed the fund for the Coast Guard,
00:11 particularly for the expenses to monitor the seas of the country.
00:15 Cedric Castillo was in the spotlight.
00:17 The storm in Bajo de Masinloc this Friday and the expansion of China's barrier
00:25 so that it will not be entered by the Filipino fishermen,
00:30 in addition to the former dams in our seas that are monitored by the Philippine Coast Guard.
00:35 The agency said in the Senate hearing for the budget of the Transportation Department,
00:40 which is included in them,
00:42 they need to monitor up to P100 billion.
00:47 This big ship, which can be in the West Philippine Sea, is only P28.
00:52 If we will be assigning at least two vessels per regional offices,
00:59 that means we need 30 capital ships, 30 bigger ships.
01:03 2 billion times 30.
01:06 2 billion, Madam Chair, is a very conservative estimate.
01:10 This is separate from the lack of personnel, which is currently only 30,000.
01:15 That is far from the more than 100,000 personnel needed for the target of posting three personnel
01:23 per kilometer of the 36,000-kilometer coastline of the country.
01:28 The Senate Committee on Finance has already submitted the more than P214 billion 2024 budget proposal of the DOTR.
01:37 But before this, the DOTR first denied the $300 stolen from an airport passenger by an official of the Office of Transportation Security,
01:49 which is included in the Transportation Department.
01:51 The statement of OTS Administrator Undersecretary Mau Aplasca,
01:57 who was on leave and did not attend, was read by the committee.
02:00 Yesterday, the House Speaker called for Aplasca to resign.
02:04 Why I am now being attacked for going after corrupt officials?
02:09 The case involving stealing of $300 bill is still being resolved.
02:14 First of all, you investigators, there must be something wrong somewhere.
02:21 And even though Aplasca is promising full responsibility as a leader in any lack of OTS, he said,
02:29 However, I will not allow anyone to humiliate and allow any wrong information to thrive
02:37 because of how unjust it is to the good men and women of OTS.
02:41 My family, who in my more than 40 years serving the country, is hurting now more than ever
02:48 such insensitive, malicious, and personal attacks.
02:53 We will talk about this after the session. We should look into his position.
03:01 The DOTR promised the Senate that it will not take more than a month
03:05 to release the investigation results of the personnel of OTS.
03:11 For GMA Integrated News, Cedric Castillo, NKT, 24 Hours.
