00:00Good news for our fellow countrymen,
00:03the daily subsistence allowance that you are receiving will be doubled by the camera.
00:09That was announced by House Speaker Martin Rumualdez
00:12in the Talk to Troops activity a while ago in Subic, Zambales.
00:16That is the story of Mela Lesmora.
00:20As a recognition of the unforgivable service and sacrifice of the soldiers for the country,
00:27the camera has a gift for them.
00:30In the Talk to Troops activity of House Speaker Martin Rumualdez in Subic, Zambales,
00:35together with the officials and the AFP,
00:38Rumualdez announced that under the 2025 National Budget,
00:42the daily subsistence allowance of the troops of the government will be doubled.
00:47From P150, it will be P350 each day
00:53that the soldiers usually use for food.
00:56We in the House of Representatives already have undertaken
01:00that in the forthcoming budget that we shall now include,
01:05a P15 billion package that will increase,
01:09will more than double your P150 subsistence allowance to P350.
01:17I repeat, we are more than doubling your subsistence allowance.
01:22And that is in due recognition for the overdue increase
01:30that we think you have deserved for a long time.
01:35According to Speaker Rumualdez,
01:37the government acknowledges the good service of the Armed Forces.
01:41That is why they continue their efforts in the Congress
01:44to improve the condition of the soldiers and their families.
01:50You are the most important and critical component
01:54of our National Defense Program.
01:57It is for that reason that we actively push for the passage
02:02of a sustainable fiscal framework
02:05for the pension system of the military personnel.
02:11We hope that you will have a peaceful mind
02:16until the time of your retirement
02:21so that you and your families will have a good future.
02:28Together with Speaker Rumualdez,
02:30AFP visited the Naval Operating Base in Subic.
02:33The House Committee on Appropriations Chair Elizaldico
02:36and other congressmen were also there.
02:38They were also shown the various equipment of the Philippine Navy.
02:43These are just a few of the equipment
02:45that the Armed Forces showed to the leader of the Camara earlier.
02:48The congressmen want to add their funds
02:52so that these equipment can be improved
02:55and our soldiers can be prepared in times of need.
02:59In September, the Department of National Defense
03:02will attend the budget hearing of the Camara
03:04for the fiscal year 2025.
03:06Here, it is expected that the congressmen will bring assistance
03:10to their government and attached agencies such as AFP.
