00:00 Senator Riza Ontiveros asked to ban the use of contingency funds of some government agencies to increase their confidential and intelligence funds.
00:11 The budget sponsor of the Senate said that it might affect the work of the security agencies.
00:18 Ma'am Gonzalez was the one who pointed it out.
00:23 After reading the Senate's plenary of the 2024 national budget earlier, a opposition senator wanted to immediately provide a provision.
00:32 That is so that what happened in 2022, when the Office of the President transferred P125 million pesos to the contingent fund,
00:40 will not happen again in the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President.
00:43 They said that the contingent fund should be used only for emergencies.
00:48 We'd like to include the augmentation of the CIF as a prohibition under the contingent fund,
00:55 along with the prohibition to tap the SED fund for the purchase of motor vehicles.
01:01 The budget sponsor of the Senate said that it might affect the work of the security agencies if the prohibition is wide.
01:10 I think there have been occasions in the past where they found the need to supplement the security agencies, not just the civilian agencies.
01:20 That's why the proponent said that the security agencies are not included in his proposal.
01:25 The amendment at the proper time will not pertain to security agencies that have clear national defense and public safety mandates and expertise,
01:35 but to civilian agencies.
01:37 According to the 5.7 trillion peso budget in 2024, confidential and intelligence funds are only worth 9.82 billion pesos.
01:45 It's 300 million pesos lower than the original because of the realignments made by the camera.
01:51 It was realigned to DICA, NSC, Coast Guard, no longer in the same agency.
01:58 And better still, realigned and the total amount reduced.
02:02 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales, for Tutok, 24 hours.
