00:41.9
Tapos, syempre, pupondohan nyo yan.
00:44.4
Parang yung outing nyo na hindi matuloy-tuloy.
00:50.9
Ito pa, mga kabatas natin.
00:54.3
Ayaw nyo ng friendship bill e?
00:58.1
Gusto nyo ba ng enemy bill?
01:01.9
O, tignan natin kung bakit.
01:04.0
Umpisa pa lang, mga kabatas natin.
01:05.7
May tanong na si Amy Marcos dito.
01:08.0
Thank you very much.
01:08.9
We recognize the ambassador for Hungary.
01:13.8
Just a quick question.
01:15.2
Why is it even necessary to enact a law
01:17.2
to commemorate friendship with France or any other country?
01:23.7
Let's enact a law.
01:25.8
To commemorate friendship with other countries.
01:29.3
Kung narin, meron akong kaibigan, may batas sa aming dalawa, ganon.
01:34.1
Yung kaibigan may batas.
01:37.5
Hindi, hindi, hindi ba eh.
01:41.5
Diyan ka makakaunin ikong tabi.
01:46.7
Lumabag ka sa batas.
01:50.0
Meron tayong friendship bill.
01:55.8
Sorry, pasagutin po rin natin.
01:58.1
Allow me, we have a very brief, just introductory statement.
02:02.4
We generally support the objective of the bills,
02:05.5
all the bills proposing commemorative events
02:08.9
under consideration,
02:10.7
which is to commemorate the milestone years
02:13.4
in our bilateral relations.
02:15.1
In fact, the Department of Foreign Affairs,
02:17.8
Okay, why, why, why, why, why, why, why?
02:19.9
Yun yung gusto namin maraman.
02:21.2
Its foreign service posts
02:22.5
celebrates these milestones on a regular basis.
02:25.8
Oh, sineselebrate na pala eh.
02:28.2
So, bakit kailangan pa rin sa batas?
02:30.0
The diplomatic missions in Manila
02:31.3
also initiate such activities
02:34.4
Sorry, I didn't get the first sentence.
02:37.5
Ah, ito nga, ito nga.
02:39.1
Ano ba mas importante?
02:44.2
sa significant other mo?
02:53.5
hirap na hirap na tayo.
02:57.4
Pati ba naman friendship
02:58.5
kailangan i-celebrate?
03:04.7
Sobrang parusa naman na yan.
03:11.0
magiging source din ito
03:12.2
ng misunderstanding.
03:17.4
Galit si ano sa'yo?
03:24.9
Bakit galit si Boy P.
03:28.4
hindi mo daw sinelebrate
03:29.8
yung friendship day nyo.
03:33.9
Nakalimutan ko yung friendship day.
03:37.0
Pasensya na, France, ha?
03:40.0
France, pasensya na.
03:42.7
Nakalimutan ko, eh.
03:43.7
Wala akong budget, eh.
03:44.9
Wala akong pera, eh.
03:48.2
Nagkasakit kasi yung
03:52.6
We commemorate the milestone years
03:53.6
of our bilateral relations
03:54.6
on a regular basis.
03:56.6
on a regular basis,
03:57.6
every five years,
03:58.6
normally 20 years, 15 years,
04:02.6
our diplomatic missions
04:03.6
President and Mrs. here in Manila
04:04.6
also do the same.
04:09.6
Also do the same.
04:12.6
Also do the same.
04:20.6
there's the same, sorry.
04:22.6
Also initiate such...
04:24.6
Also initiate such...
04:26.6
Yes, but these are activities.
04:27.6
Yes, but these are activities.
04:29.6
I know for a fact
04:30.6
that Spain, for example,
04:36.6
a counterpart Bill
04:38.6
So other countries
04:46.6
on the part of our
04:49.6
diplomatic relations,
04:50.6
In fact, we are aware, we are not aware of any legislation which also calls for a commemorative event.
04:58.7
Because maybe we don't need it, right?
05:03.5
Rafi Tulpo, ano tong ginagawa mo?
05:07.1
What's interesting here, Chupaeng is always not there to defend his own bill.
05:14.8
Baka hindi pa siya nakabili ng banig.
05:17.6
Bilhin mo na siya ng banig siguro para makatulog siya doon.
05:22.8
As far as Philippine relations with a specific country.
05:26.0
I think necessarily, as you indicated, we've always celebrated landmarks and years such as the 10th year, the 50th year, and so on.
05:38.8
Parati naman talagang pinagdiriwang yun.
05:41.3
Pero kinakailangan pa ba isa batas ito?
05:44.5
Our position is that it is not necessary through legislation.
05:47.6
It's a joke, right? Rafi Tulpo.
05:56.9
Yung batas mo, sabi, it's not necessary to legislate.
06:05.2
That's correct. And also that the other countries do not legislate the same.
06:10.8
For example, the Philippine-Spain friendship is not declared likewise.
06:17.6
Now, Spain, isn't that correct?
06:20.2
For specific questions, I will ask our heads of geographic office to answer that, ma'am.
06:25.0
But if you allow me, we have two more arguments to present to you.
06:28.6
Your arguments are pro or con?
06:34.3
Yes, correct. No, it's fine. Just a yes or no.
06:39.3
The authors aren't here in the first place.
06:46.1
Because it's a huge joke.
06:47.3
It's a huge joke.
06:47.6
They're just wasting your time.
06:53.9
The authors are not here.
06:55.4
Rafi Tulpo, where are you?
06:57.3
Where are you now?
07:10.3
What's happening?
07:12.6
What's happening here?
07:17.6
That's good. Death beat that bill.
07:20.7
Death beat that bill.
07:24.9
We also think that the proposals like this would entail general appropriations on a regular basis.
07:34.9
Yes, there's a level of concern with the first one, which is the Philippine-France one.
07:40.7
It involves 15 million and also falls under one of the culture –
07:46.6
Isipin mo yung mga mga mga mga.
07:47.0
Isipin mo yung mga mga mga mga.
07:47.2
Isipin mo yung mga mga.
07:47.2
Isipin mo yung mga.
07:47.3
mo yung mapapakain
07:57.0
pagseselebrate nyo lang
07:58.2
dahil friends kayo
08:09.9
Champion of may hirap,
08:11.8
pero friendship day
08:21.0
Hindi, pagkatapos
08:26.3
pagkatapos ng celebration.
08:28.0
...affairs groups
08:38.3
Diyan nilagagastusin
08:41.0
yan yung iniisip niyang bill.
08:44.6
Hindi 15,000 dollars
08:49.5
Hindi umabot ng 15,000 yata,
08:55.2
Parang, parang gano'n.
08:57.6
About half a million, no?
09:01.2
DFA, which I thought
09:02.4
was peculiar as well.
09:08.3
it is more prudent
09:09.3
for us to do these things
09:14.4
but on significant years
09:19.3
Or just make a Facebook post
09:21.6
doon sa official.
09:28.0
Happy Friendship Day.
09:29.4
Tapos maglagay ka
09:30.1
ng mga emoji doon.
09:36.1
50 years is usually
09:38.3
the operative time frame.
09:42.5
we have also to take
09:43.4
into consideration
09:44.4
the political sensitivity
09:46.1
sensitivity of this
09:48.1
Of course, other countries
09:50.1
we are only doing this
09:51.5
to several countries
09:52.5
not to the waters.
10:03.5
Or mag-vlog na lang
10:07.1
bakit kailangan mo pa
10:08.0
ang pamilya ng Rafi Tulfo?
10:10.5
Gagastos ka pa ng
10:12.2
para mag-celebrate?
10:21.4
Yung mga ibang tao,
10:23.6
yung mga ibang bansa,
10:26.5
political sensitivity
10:29.7
Yes, I think there's
10:30.6
a level of concern
10:34.3
the Philippine-Israel
10:41.8
Sino kayang gumawa?
10:47.1
It's not the best...
10:51.2
There is no best time
10:53.5
Because sabi nga,
10:54.3
nung resource person,
10:55.3
it's not necessary.
11:00.4
For other questions,
11:02.6
For other questions,
11:03.4
we have the heads of our...
11:05.4
Sabi ni Journey to Understanding,
11:07.3
meron po attorney sa FB page
11:09.9
commemorating friendship
11:11.0
with other countries.
11:12.1
Matagal na pong ginagawa yan.
11:14.3
Gustong isang batas
11:15.2
ni Rafi Tulfo eh,
11:16.1
pero wala siya dito.
11:17.1
Pwede bang tawagin
11:22.9
na sinasabi ni Rafi Tulfo
11:24.3
na that's a stupid law?
11:25.9
Pero stupid bill pa lang
11:27.2
kasi hindi pa naman
11:34.0
sure ball bill na.
11:41.8
Si Coco merong same bill
11:52.1
and our European Affairs
11:54.1
to address some of the questions.
11:55.8
Specific questions.
11:57.8
Okay, that's great.
11:58.9
Is there anyone else
11:60.0
who would like to weigh in
12:04.8
friendship day bills
12:06.3
with various countries?
12:08.8
you'd like to add?
12:11.2
we don't have any
12:14.3
the first circle of friendship.
12:17.1
Wala namang ganun, di ba?
12:19.1
So, I'm a little curious
12:22.0
Yeah, I'm also curious
12:24.3
authors of the bill
12:28.1
I don't have a need
12:35.5
And if absolutely necessary,
12:38.7
urgent, compelling,
12:41.8
very important reason
12:44.4
to declare a friendship day,
12:46.2
surely an executive
12:50.6
What are your thoughts,
12:55.4
Mukhang malayo pa yung
12:56.4
kay Coco Pimentel.
12:59.6
administrative order.
13:01.0
Administrative order na lang?
13:05.2
I mean, you just celebrated.
13:07.8
Or nothing at all
13:09.3
because it's not necessary.
13:14.8
why Senator Pimentel
13:17.1
Pero mamaya yung rabies,
13:20.2
Senator Pimentel.
13:25.5
the Senate or Congress,
13:27.2
you can pass also
13:29.4
Yes, which we have
13:32.0
by the foreign minister.
13:33.3
You don't need it!
13:36.0
Friendship, friendship.
13:37.1
Hindi nila ginagawa.
13:38.1
Ba't nyo gagawin?
13:42.3
Tapos tignan nyo,
13:49.3
to declare friendship days
13:51.4
and that, in fact,
13:52.4
the counterpart countries
13:55.3
have never declared
13:59.1
Resource persons yung
14:01.5
Meaning, they are the experts
14:05.6
a Philippine-Spain friendship days
14:08.6
di naman nila ginawang batas.
14:10.5
So, perhaps it's not necessary
14:12.3
and it might impose
14:13.4
undue budget burdens
14:15.7
on us to compel us.
14:17.1
So, we need year-on-year
14:19.1
when the usual practice
14:20.1
is every 50 years only.
14:22.9
Thank you Madam Chairperson
14:28.1
and the bills for hearing.
14:30.9
Well, number one,
14:32.9
we determine our own acts.
14:35.9
if Spain does not do it,
14:37.9
so why does that determine
14:40.9
what we should do or not do?
14:44.9
So, we determine our own acts.
14:47.1
In the first place,
14:49.1
anong determine our own acts?
14:50.1
Hindi ko maintindihan
14:51.1
yung sinasabi niya nun.
14:53.1
ang sinasabi niya dito,
14:54.1
mga kapatid natin,
14:56.1
out of what Coco Pimentel
14:59.1
is saying, siguro,
15:08.1
We do what we want to do
15:10.1
and we don't care kung ano yung
15:12.1
gusto nilang gawin.
15:13.1
So, ibig sabihin,
15:16.1
kailangang maging basihan
15:18.1
yung ginagawa nila.
15:19.1
So, kung gusto natin ito,
15:22.1
Pero hindi naman kasi yan
15:24.1
Sen. Coco Pimentel.
15:31.1
yung bill na yan.
15:34.1
resource persons mo.
15:37.1
ang malaking problema din,
15:39.1
yung justification mo tungkol dyan,
15:41.1
eh, bakit magpapadikta tayo?
15:43.1
O kaya bakit kung hindi nila
15:46.1
o bakit hindi rin natin gawin?
15:47.1
Siguro may purpose kung bakit
15:49.1
hindi nila ginagawa yan.
15:50.1
Kasi nga useless.
15:55.1
kaya hindi nila ginagawa.
16:02.1
anong ginagawa mo dyan sa ano,
16:15.1
punta ka sa labas,
16:17.1
ng malalim ng sampung beses.
16:21.1
Swerte daw yun sa ano,
16:25.1
Magiging swerte na yung buong araw mo.
16:28.1
Tapos sasabihin mong ano,
16:30.1
hindi scientific yan,
16:31.1
walang kwenta yan.
16:32.1
Hindi gumagana yan,
16:33.1
hindi ka siswertehin dyan.
16:37.1
late ka na lumalabas,
16:38.1
so pollution na lang yung
16:39.1
nahihinga mo dyan.
16:41.1
Hindi maganda yung ginagawa mo na yan,
16:44.1
Ba't ako magpapadikta
16:46.1
doon sa hindi ginagawa
16:48.1
at ginagawa ng iba?
16:49.1
Eh, yun yung gusto kong gawin.
16:51.1
Hindi, wala nga ang kwenta
16:52.1
kaya huwag mo nang gawin.
16:53.1
Eh, gusto kong gawin eh.
16:55.1
And if you read the bills,
16:58.1
sinabi naman doon yung mga
17:01.1
milestone years lang,
17:04.1
50th, 75th, 100th.
17:09.1
kung walang kwenta yung gagawin mo,
17:12.1
pero pag isi-celebrate mo lang
17:19.1
magkakaroon na ng kwenta.
17:26.1
Hindi, pag inaaraw-araw mo yan,
17:30.1
pag kunwari gagawin mo yan,
17:36.1
25 years sa mga milestones,
17:39.1
Anong klaseng dahilan yan?
17:44.1
grabe yung budgetary,
17:48.1
bakit ka pa maglalagay ng budget dyan?
17:52.1
Sabi ni Nonononsense,
17:53.1
i-myday mo na lang, Sen.
18:07.1
pumunta kayo sa mall,
18:10.1
ano yung binili mo?
18:11.1
Hindi ko alam eh.
18:19.1
O bakit mo ginawa yan?
18:20.1
Bakit mo pinondohan?
18:23.1
Yung friendship bill?
18:28.1
Eh hindi naman mabigat yung budget.
18:30.1
Gastusan na lang natin.
18:35.1
bakit mo gagastusan sa ibang bagay
18:37.1
na walang kwenta?
18:39.1
Every year you need to celebrate,
18:40.1
you need to celebrate it.
18:41.1
It didn't refer to your bill.
18:43.1
There was a bill filed
18:48.1
O, yan Sen. Tulfo kasi.
18:51.1
Anong pinaggagagawa mo dyan?
18:54.1
This is a 15 million budget.
18:56.1
15 million budget?
18:58.1
Isipin mo yan, yan ang pro-poor.
19:03.1
Ngayon, sabi ko sa inyo,
19:05.1
you don't actually need me
19:07.1
to expose Rafi Tulfo.
19:09.1
You need Aimee Marcos.
19:11.1
Look at what Rafi Tulfo is doing.
19:14.1
Tignan niyo kung anong ginagawa ni Rafi Tulfo.
19:17.1
Gagastusin yung pera niyo
19:19.1
na 15 million pesos
19:21.1
para sa mga foreigners.
19:24.1
Bakit para sa foreigners?
19:28.1
na nagse-celebrate tayo
19:30.1
kasi friends natin sila.
19:32.1
Kahit hindi nila ginagawa yun para sa atin.
19:36.1
Yay! Friends tayo!
19:49.1
Sabi nila hindi kailangan.
19:54.1
Bakit mo pa gagawin?
19:56.1
Hindi naman kailangan.
19:58.1
Huwag pa tayo magpadikta dun sa nga
20:00.1
kasi mga hindi nila ginagawa.
20:02.1
...on the Philippine-France bill.
20:05.1
So I'm certain we can do without that.
20:08.1
Ayusin na lang natin.
20:09.1
Siguro ganyan lang pag-iusin.
20:10.1
Hindi nila nga kailangan! Bakit?
20:23.1
Parang sinabi mo,
20:24.1
sayangin na lang natin yung oras natin
20:26.1
sa mga bagay na hindi naman natin kailangan.
20:32.1
2129. Ang sinasabi lang nila na hindi na kailangan ng friendship pa.
20:38.1
Oo, sinabi ng mga resource persons.
20:40.1
Makinig kasi kayo.
20:41.1
Nandyan yung mga resource persons
20:43.1
kasi sila yung mga experts.
20:45.1
Sila yung may alam ng facts and circumstances.
20:48.1
Sila yung nag-aral tungkol dyan.
20:53.1
Hindi kayo nakikinig sa kanila. Ano bang silbi nila?
20:56.1
Kaya nga wala kayong nagagawang batas diba
20:59.1
dyan sa mga in-aid of legislation nyo.
21:06.1
Actually, marami na rin tumatawag sa akin ng mga ambassadors
21:10.1
and they appreciate it actually.
21:12.1
Of course they will appreciate it!
21:22.1
Because you're doing it for them
21:24.1
but not for the Filipino people!
21:32.1
Are you serious now, Cuaco Pimentel?
21:39.1
Yung mga ambasador na yon.
21:42.1
Oh, thank you, thank you.
21:44.1
Tinatawagan na ako.
21:50.1
Why will not they appreciate it?
21:53.1
Paglalaban mo pa talaga.
21:58.1
Like Tulfo ah, maraming tumatawag sa akin.
22:02.1
Basta ang point ko lang, let not state practice by another state determine what we should do.
22:11.1
But let's not do useless things and spend money on useless things!
22:22.1
Meron nga silang tinatawag na best practices.
22:26.1
Maybe the best practice is not to celebrate it at all.
22:32.1
But let's not do useless things at all.
22:35.1
Kung maganda naman yung ginagawa nila, ba't hindi natin gayahin?
22:48.1
My concern was that among these friendship bills,
22:51.1
there isn't a single one that refers to the primary circle of friendship, ASEAN.
22:59.1
There isn't a single ASEAN country that's declared here.
23:01.1
declared here. Eh kung mag-friendship
23:03.5
diba dapat mag-umpisa
23:05.5
sa barangay ASEAN?
23:07.1
Pwede. Yes. Gano'n yun. So we
23:09.2
can do it sa ASEAN and then we can do it
23:11.3
dun sa ibang ano. So...
23:13.0
No! Kasa sabi lang ng mga
23:15.2
resource persons, you know, we don't
23:24.1
Makinig kayo dun sa
23:25.3
mga resource persons nyo!
23:29.0
Gagastusan nyo pa ng 15 million
23:30.9
Wala na nga tayong pera
23:34.9
gagastusin nyo pa ng 15 million
23:39.6
I don't think we will lose
23:41.1
anything kung budgetary naman ito
23:43.1
nasa sa DFA. It was already
23:45.1
yung bills ko ha, at least
23:47.1
delegated it to the DFA to celebrate
23:51.6
Delegated yung budget nila
23:57.4
Yung iba nga, kunyari
24:00.9
Say, you celebrate the 75th
24:03.4
You no longer celebrate the 50th
24:04.9
Lampas-lampas na iba
24:06.0
But we don't need it
24:09.6
Kaming lampas-lampas na
24:13.1
So ganyan lang po
24:14.7
Maybe Madam Chair
24:16.2
Because it's not necessary
24:17.6
We survived this long
24:19.1
Without that friendship
24:22.6
Lampas-lampas na nga
24:25.0
Maybe that's also proof that we don't need it
24:27.6
Because even if we don't celebrate
24:30.9
We're still friends
24:33.3
Ang gaganda ng mga
24:39.8
renaise nila na issues
24:40.9
There will be a political problem
24:44.2
Bakit yung iba sineselebrate nyo
24:46.1
yung sa amin hindi?
24:48.6
Paglalaban mo pa rin
24:49.6
e sinabi na nga na walang kwenta
24:51.2
If they can just study it
24:55.0
They studied it already
24:57.2
and they said it's not necessary
24:58.7
Do you think they went there just to kudako?
25:05.8
Tapos yung mga dahilan mo pa
25:08.8
hindi naman maganda
25:09.8
May pattern naman yung bill ko
25:16.5
pero walang silbi
25:18.1
Those are two different things
25:26.6
It does not even affect
25:30.9
It doesn't even say if it's a holiday or a special non-working day.
25:38.1
Dapat ito wala. It should not affect.
25:41.0
Yeah, because we don't need it, right?
25:42.9
We don't need you to spending your time also making that bill, hearing that bill.
25:48.3
Because it will not help us.
25:53.9
Huwag mo na ipilit. Hindi kami matutulungan yan.
25:57.0
Kaming mga naghihikaus na kababayan nyo.
26:00.9
Sa tingin mo ba, yung friendship bill na pinipilit mo,
26:07.5
ngayon naghihiring kayo doon sa friendship bill na walang kwenta.
26:10.5
Sa tingin mo ba, hindi kayo gumagastos ng pera dyan at oras ng taong bayan?
26:19.3
Akala nyo kasi yung trabaho nyo wala siguro.
26:22.4
Sinasaura kayo dyan. Yung pa lang.
26:30.9
It's just a declaration.
26:35.2
Maganda. Maganda.
26:40.8
Suggestion ni Venus Castillo.
26:43.1
Yung sweldo na lang kaya ng mga yan ang gawing pondo.
26:50.4
Ewan ko lang kung ipipilit pa.
26:56.5
A marking of the friendship with another country.
27:00.9
Yes, I think, for example, the...
27:03.9
Naintindihan nga nila dyan.
27:08.8
The commemoration of the Hungary Friendship Day is important because yun lang ang tanging kakampi ng Pilipinas sa Eurobloc.
27:23.6
Precisely, mga ganun ba.
27:26.1
Medyo obvious ba? Sila lang ang...
27:29.2
We don't need it.
27:30.4
Maraming salamat mga kabatid natin at syempre tulad ng laging sinasabi, matulog pa tayo ng mahimbing dahil alam natin na yung natutulog ng mahimbing siya yung laging panalo.
