00:30At Local Access Road, here's what we know so far with Sandra Aguinaldo.
01:00A coastal road construction project na mahigit 8 billion pesos, naging mahigit 2 billion pesos na lang, habang 5.5
01:08billion pesos ang tapyas sa Phase 4 ng Pasig-Marikina River Channel Improvement Project o yung Flood Control Project na
01:16pipigil sa pag-overflow ng Pasig at Marikina River.
01:20Labing tatlong iba pang foreign assistant projects ng DPWH ang natapyasan ng pondo. May budget cuts din ang foreign assistant
01:29projects ng DOTR.
01:30Ito ay ang Metro Manila Subway Project Phase 1 na halos 20 billion pesos ang tapyas.
01:36North-South Commuter Railway System, Davao Public Transport Modernization Project at New Cebu International Container Port Project.
01:46Kabilang sa nagka-budget cut ay ang big ticket at flagship projects.
01:50Ayon sa Watchdog Group na People's Budget Coalition, binawasan ng mga kongresista ang budget sa foreign assistant projects para itaas
01:59ang pondo sa mga local project gaya ng multi-purpose buildings at local access roads.
02:05P170 billion pesos daw ang ininagdag para dito ng kamera. Sinisikap pa ng GMA News na kunin ang payag ng
02:13House leaders tungkol dyan.
02:15Ayon naman kay Transport Secretary Vince Dizon, nakipag-ugnayan sila ni DPWH Secretary Giovanni Lopez,
02:23kay Senate President Wynn Gatchalian at Senate Finance Committee Chairman JVRC2
02:27para maibalik ang pondong na ibawa sa mga proyektong binawasan ng budget, lalo na yung para sa mass transportation.
02:36Kailangan kahit yung minimum man lang e maibigay at nabigay na po namin sa Senado yung mga minimum numbers.
02:44Kahit na po hindi maibalik lahat, basta po yung minimum maibigay lang at maibalik,
02:51eh ano naman ho, hindi naman ho tayo masyadong madibigay.
02:54Ang foreign assistance projects ay mga proyekto na co-founded ng ating gobyerno at international lending institutions.
03:01Kung madedelay ang proyekto, posibleng magbayad ang ating mansa ng commitment fees.
03:06Tumataas din ang halaga ng materyales at labor habang tumatagal ang paggawa ng proyekto,
03:12kaya may posibilidad na kapusin ang original na budget para dito.
03:16Samantala, sinabi ng Malacanang na hindi papayagan ni Pangulong Marcos ang budget insertions na walang basihan.
03:23And that's what we know so far, Sandra Aguinaldo, GMA News.
