00:00 The camera refused Senator Aimee Marcos' allegation that the government reduced the funds for other expenses to fund the Acap.

00:09 Including the pension of the retired employees.

00:13 And it was pointed out by Marisol Abduraman and Tina Panginiban Perez.

00:17 Government employees' pension went to aid?

00:23 That's what Senator Aimee Marcos discovered when she looked for a way to raise funds for the Kaposangkita Program or Acap in the 2024 National Budget.

00:33 Which did not go through the right process.

00:36 In order to fund Acap, she had to give a lot of funds to the National Budget.

00:43 I was surprised to see that the 71 billion in the Public Works was all foreign funded.

00:50 This is a big flagship project that the country needs.

00:54 Even the pensions, the retirement funds, including the 10 billion of the military, was removed from the budget.

01:01 How is this possible?

01:03 According to a congresswoman, the issue should be investigated.

01:07 Especially since she and other colleagues are arguing that everything went through the right process.

01:12 It is a very grave accusation that should be studied very carefully and investigated.

01:17 How can we say that it did not go through the right process?

01:20 You signified, you showed your approval of the same by giving that signature.

01:27 House Deputy Speaker David Suarez was surprised that the pension of government employees will be reduced.

01:35 Senators were also worried that Acap will use the People's Initiative, which was repeatedly surprised by congressmen.

01:43 The Hello Bongalon was against the allegation of the House Committee on Appropriations Vice Chair Raul Angelo.

01:48 Senator Marcos should also be investigated because Senator Marcos transferred the 13 billion pesos of the 4-piece fund to another program.

01:59 More than 4 million 4-piece beneficiaries did not receive assistance in 2023 because of this.

02:07 But when I asked about this, Marcos' point of view on the allegation was dead.

02:12 Senator Sonny Angara, Finance Committee Chair of the Senate, said that he will not put the cover of the Acap program in the budget.

02:22 He will put it in the anti-poverty program.

02:25 So similar. When we saw it, it was similar to AICS, but maybe he just gave it a different name so that the house has branding.

02:33 It is not in the bicam, it is in the HGAB, the so-called HGAB. After NEP, NEP submitted the DBM, HGAB.

02:39 When DSWD was investigated, they said that they did not use a cent of the fund for Acap because the guidelines for this program are being violated.

02:48 But they have been asking for the Department to give assistance to the so-called near poor.

02:54 They are the ones who are paying the WIS, but usually all of our programs in our department are for the poor.

03:01 They are the ones who are helping our economy, but when it comes to their needs, where will they get it?

03:08 Gatchalian is ready to face Congress to explain why they want the so-called program.

03:15 Earlier, DSWD was with President Marcos for their sectoral briefing, but Acap was not discussed here.

03:22 In his briefing, Gatchalian said that the President asked them to study how to reduce the importance of financial assistance that the government is giving to the poor.

03:34 This includes the protection of the peso value of the grants that are being given, like the 4-Piece and other programs for our poor countrymen.

03:43 We were tasked to work with PSA and NEDA to find the best index to use to make sure that the financial assistance,

03:53 whether the 4-Piece grants or I guess all other social protection that we do, make sure that it will not be left behind if there are spikes like inflation.

04:03 For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abdurrahman.

04:08 Tina Panganiban Perez. We learned 24 hours.
