00:00Officials of the DSWD joined the budget hearing of the House Committee on Appropriations today.
00:06The issue is about the next political move with the help of the government.
00:10The government encouraged it.
00:12Mela Lesmora is back.
00:16DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian argued that no one is chosen and no one is blamed
00:23for bringing help to our countrymen.
00:27This is in line with the statement of Vice President Sara Duterte that the government's help is a political move.
00:33According to Gatchalian, she is still aware of the details of the statement of the second president
00:39but she assures that they are equal in all their needs.
00:43We will consult with her staff, with her constituent services people
00:48so that we can know the details so that we can investigate it properly.
00:53But we have a standing policy in the DSWD that everyone will come to us.
00:58There is a referral letter, there is no referral letter.
01:00Anyone who needs it will be helped by our social workers.
01:05Gatchalian was interviewed by the media after the House Committee on Appropriations
01:11heard about their budget for the next year.
01:15Under the 2025 National Expenditure Program,
01:19more than P229.78 billion was allocated to the DSWD and its agencies.
01:27The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps of the government is one of the congressmen's accusations.
01:34We are happy to report to you that the rounds, the multiple rounds of the special assessment are over.
01:391.4 million were assessed and half of it was returned.
01:45Half of it was not returned.
01:47Those that were returned were paid retroactively.
01:51One of the things that the camera is waiting for in the budget hearing
01:55is the face of the officials of the Office of the Vice President
01:58under the leadership of VP Sara Duterte so that she can answer other issues.
02:03The congressmen are hoping that the vice president will face them.
02:08What I can assure the Office of the Vice President,
02:12the vice president is the House will extend courtesies,
02:16will definitely extend courtesies in the deliberation of the budget.
02:22The budget is based on the NEP that was submitted by the DBM.
02:29Aside from the discussion on the budget,
02:31this Thursday, the camera will continue the Quad Committee Hearing
02:35on Illegal Pugos, Illegal Drugs, and Extradjudicial Killings during the administration.
02:41The lawmakers are hoping that they will be able to face the personalities they invited
02:46to clarify the issues that were raised during their first hearing.
02:51They will answer the questions correctly,
02:53they will answer the allegations correctly,
02:55and the truth will be revealed in the Quad Committee Investigations.
03:00And I think to claim that it is politicking ngayon po,
03:04just because sa banggit yung mga pangalan na yon,
03:06it would be a disservice saman po to the rest of the hearings
03:09in which we've already tackled so much.
03:12Mela Las Moras para sa Pambansang TV sa Bagong Pilipinas.
