00:00House Speaker Martin Romualdez's target is to pass the 2025 General Appropriations Bill before their session break in September.
00:12This is where the government's important program lies and where the administration and the Congress are one in implementing it.
00:21According to Speaker Romualdez, they will double their contribution to the National Fund to approve it along with other priority measures of the administration.
00:31This is also the promise of the House Committee on Appropriations Chair Elizalde Co.
00:36She will ensure transparency and accountability in their discussions on the National Fund and they will ensure that they will pass the 2025 GAB that is truly in line with the needs of the Filipinos.
00:49In a press conference, Appropriations Vice-Chair Janette Garin emphasized that just like in the past 100 years, the marathon hearings are now expected for the National Fund.
01:00If it's possible, it's possible. Go!
01:03But the important thing is that it will not be delayed too much because too much delay will also delay all the processes.
01:11So that when the budget ends early, the pre-procurement processes will be early.
01:17When the next year opens, the service will be fast.
01:22In the case of the Black People, they distributed all the agencies and programs that they will focus on to give enough funds.
01:31We will prioritize the DA-DAR because this is the budget that will provide assistance to our farmers and will provide land to our farmers.
01:42So the DA-DAR and of course the DepEd, the DOH, the housing. So those are our priorities that the budget will look at.
01:54We will monitor the higher budget for military, especially in relation to the WPS issue and the U.S. bases.
02:02We will monitor that because what is available there is what we can provide.
