00:00 In the deliberation of the DENR budget, the agency has already indicated that some officials will go on foreign trips.
00:12 Meanwhile, the issue of confidential funds was raised in the deliberation of the DICT budget.
00:20 That was surprised by Daniel Batalasta.
00:24 In the deliberation of the Senate for the DICT budget for the next year, one of the senators' criticisms is the issue of confidential funds.
00:33 And it came out...
00:35 So initially they asked for 300 million, but now we were able to return 280 million.
00:42 But the committee was able to find a way so that we will still be able to supply the needs of the DICT for them to be able to do their functions properly.
00:52 But now in a line item budget so that it's easier for us to be able to monitor how it's implemented.
01:02 Some of the controversial transfers of confidential funds, which were first requested by the DICT, were for the implementation of their technology.
01:10 The deliberation of the DENR budget was also intentional.
01:15 After Senator Rafi Tulfo confirmed that some officials will go on foreign trips.
01:19 What the DENR itself wants to know is where we will see that his foreign trips have been fruitful.
01:27 Because the officials of the DENR are a bit confused.
01:33 They were not informed about the foreign trips.
01:37 Our benefactors are all foreign countries.
01:41 They give us funds and loans for this kind of projects.
01:46 They seem to be very concerned about the environment.
01:50 That's why they are always foreign.
01:54 It's not just the DENR that is limited abroad.
01:57 There are also many complaints from the Climate Change Commission.
02:03 They are always abroad because they have a lot of...
02:06 Because the disaster...
02:08 These environmental problems, they always require...
02:13 It's more of not local, it's more of international.
02:18 Senator Tulfo also confirmed that the act ban is being carried out in the Masungi Geo Reserve.
02:24 Well, can I see the list of those 11 people who agreed to exploit our environment in Masungi?
02:31 I need the list of those people who agreed.
02:37 I know.
02:38 But your selection process requires an IP.
02:42 They are not being followed.
02:43 How did you select the IPs?
02:46 May I know?
02:47 From the experts?
02:48 Maybe the IPs were not signed.
02:51 You know, even if it's an IP, it's being influenced.
02:57 It should not be.
02:58 Oh, my.
02:59 Tell it to the Marines.
03:01 Sorry. Tell it to the Marines.
03:03 It should not be.
03:04 Because the IPs are poor.
03:06 In my legislated protected area, it's happening.
03:09 The barangays are being influenced.
03:12 The IPs are poor.
03:13 They are not being studied.
03:15 They are not being informed.
03:17 And then we exploit.
03:18 The senators in the debate are done with the 2024 national budget.
03:23 But there is a process that is still pending,
03:26 such as the period of amendments.
03:28 The senators are also confident that the 2024 national budget will be passed.
03:33 It is expected that it will be passed by the bicameral conference committee,
03:36 where the congressmen are included.
03:39 Daniel Maranastas, for the Bayan.
03:41 Bye.
