00:00Prioridad ng mga programa para sa mga senior citizen, ating alamin kasama si Ma'am Salvation and Basiano,
00:07sectoral representative mula sa NAPSE Senior Citizen Sector.
00:12Ma'am Basiano, magandang tanghali po and welcome to Bagong Pilipinas ngayon.
00:16Maraming maraming salamat po sa pag-welcome and thank you for having me here today.
00:22Yes ma'am, we're honored to have you.
00:24Unang-una po sa lahat, sino po ba ang NAPSE Senior Citizen Sectoral Council
00:31at ano po yung mga prioridad na agenda at policy reforms na inyong sinusulong
00:37para sa poverty reduction program ng ating pamahalaan?
00:40Okay. Ang NAPSE Senior Citizen Sectoral Council ay isa lamang po ito sa 14 na sectors,
00:52basic sectors within the NAPSE. For others who do not know what NAPSE is,
00:58it's National Anti-Poverty Commission.
01:01Yung pong bawat council sa'min, so that includes Senior Citizen Sectoral Council,
01:09is comprised of 25 members coming from different regions of the Philippines, of the country.
01:17And they represent different organizations of older persons themselves.
01:23So kumbaga, while they work with us as part of the council for legislation, for advocacies,
01:34pagbalik po nila sa kanilang mga regions, sa kanilang mga local areas,
01:41they work on local advocacies din tungkol sa kanilang mga organizations.
01:47Ano po yung mga advocacies nyong ngayon sa inyong sector sa NAPSE?
01:51Oh yes, we have several priority agenda. Sa ngayon po, ang pinaka-prioridad namin
02:00ay yung universal social pension. Bilang kapalit po, we would like to replace
02:10the existing social pension for indigents. Kasi tingin namin, mas masaserve ng husto
02:20ng panibagong panukalang batas yung general senior citizen population.
02:30So pag sinabi pong universal, ma'am, lahat ng senior citizen,
02:34gusto nyo pong makatanggap ng social pension? At magkano naman po yung inyong inumungkahing amount?
02:40Actually, sa amin po, ang umungkahing namin was, we started with 25 sana per older person.
02:48Ang iniisip namin, adequate yun yung 25 na pambiliman lang ng maintenance ng gamot at saka
02:59yung kanilang magiging pagkain. Sa ngayon po, magkano yung social pension
03:02na natatanggap mula sa DSWD? Para po sa indigents lamang po yan,
03:08it's 1,000 actually. It started with 500. Kami din po yung nag-propose nyan in 2007 na
03:17aprobahan po in 2010, na pirmahan 2011. So at that time, we were asking for 1,500
03:29per indigent senior sana ang maibigay ng gobyerno. Pero they approved only 500, sabi nila.
03:35Before, ngayon 1,000 ha?
03:37Ngayon po. Pero noon, kasi sabi namin, what can 500 pesos buy?
03:42Sabi na, sa bicameral po yan, nung tinatanong kami na kung payag daw kaming bawasan. Sabi ko,
03:51by how much? Kasi we're asking for 1,500. Sabi nila, bawasan natin ang 1,000. Di ba sabi 500
04:01lang ang matitira? Ano po? So sabi ko, what can 500 pesos buy at that time? E di lalo na ngayon.
04:08Ano po? Fortunately naman, starting last year, ay na-implement na, I mean, na-approve na yung
04:18additional na 500. But even that, tingin ko ay masyado pa ring inadequate, given na lagi
04:24nagtataas ang ating inflation, hindi naman bumababa. Ano po?
04:30So ilan po ba ang senior citizens? Pinataya natin ngayon ang population na maaaring mabigyan
04:36itong 2,500 po yung sinusulong ninyo. But even that, hindi po kami, kasi suggestion lang namin
04:44yan, ang tingin namin na kailangan talaga ng senior citizens. But it will be up to Congress.
04:56So fortunately for us, ang Congress po, in-approve nila sometime in May,
05:05yung universal social pension. Okay sa kanila na mag-universalize except na,
05:16sabi nila at that time, wala pang pondo ang gobyerno. Ang sabi namin, may pondo pero siyempre
05:24depende sa prioritization ng gobyerno. And we stand to be at the last priority.
05:45How much ponds do you need?
05:47Ako madami yan. Ang sabi po kasi namin, I think, kasi we're not starting from zero.
05:56Meron ang actual na, meron ang existing social pension. So kasama na yun, kasama sila. So
06:04part na ng funding yun. Karagdaga na lang, I think yung something like P70 billion
06:15would be sufficient. Pag nagdag, given na meron ngayon P100, so P100 plus P70 that's sufficient.
06:34Because that's another story and that's another advocacy namin.
06:39It just came in.
06:43Ang advocacy namin is to keep PhilHealth funds within PhilHealth.
06:59The officers should have been a little more creative in thinking of other services.
07:08Kaso nabalik na, ginamit na nga sa ibang bagay. Kasi subsidies yun ng gobyerno. May naiwan pang konti.
07:16It did not come from government. There would not have been yung tinatawag nilang ayuda sa mga
07:22seniors dyan sa PhilHealth kung hindi namin tinabako yan. Kumampanya po kami. Syntax 12,
07:30syntax 18. Ngayon po may pangatlong syntax yan. Tumatrabaho po kami, nagkakampanya kami dyan.
07:38Kung hindi naaprobahan yung ikinampanya naming panukalang batas, there would have not been any added revenue for government.
07:46And besides that, before that, wala namang ayudang ibinigay sa PhilHealth para sa amin ang gobyerno.
07:55So bilang panghuli na lang po, at least nailabas natin yan ata. Narinig sana ng mga kinauukulan.
08:01Sana they're listening.
08:02Pakinig po tayo sa ating elderly, the older and wiser.
08:06Partner, next year may implement na yung tax sa Netflix, tax sa mga e-commerce.
08:12Baka pwedeng patunan din yun.
08:14Pero kawawari naman yung mga middle class na nagbabayad ng mga...
08:20Gaya mo.
08:21Gaya mo.
08:22Sir, mayroon ko suggestion.
08:24Anong suggestion niyo?
08:25Kasi every budget season, sina pinag-uusapan yung sinusoli.
08:33Last year, I was listening.
08:35Ang sabi nila, on the average, every government agency returns 40% of their budget allocation for the year sa DBM.
08:47And that is on the average.
08:49Ibig sabihin lahat ng mga government agencies ganoon.
08:52Unutilized, yung tinatawag.
08:53Unutilized.
08:54Unutilized.
08:55Unused.
08:56Unused.
08:57So, sabi ko, kung ganoon, ibig sabihin, yung GAA, 40% of that, technically ay hindi nagagamit.
09:07And it is being returned.
09:09And after returning to DBM, nothing is said about it anymore.
09:14Where it goes.
09:15What is done with it.
09:16So, sabi ko, hindi kami nag-i-interest doon sa 40%.
09:21Lahat ng mga kahit na lahat ng mga siguro, lahat ng mga beneficyong hinihingi ng senior citizens, kakayanin ng ating gobyerno.
09:30General sa 20%, what's 20%?
09:34At that time, it was 5.3 trillion.
09:38Sabi ko, what's 20% of 5.3 trillion?
09:42That's 1.666 whatever.
09:46Nakomput na naman.
09:47Alam mo ba, pwede kayong tumakbo sa party list, ha?
09:50Magaling po ako sa mat, sa arithmetic.
09:52O, maraming salamat po.
09:54Magaling po ako sa mat.
09:55Thank you for giving a voice to our elderly.
09:57Yes, sana nakikinig yung ating mga decision makers and policy makers.
10:03Maraming salamat po sa inyong oras, Ma'am Salvation Basiano, ang sectoral rep mula sa NAPSEA Senior Citizen Sector.
10:11At happy birthday, oh, birthday nyo po buka!
10:14I'll be 80, otsenta.
10:16That's a big celebration po.
10:19Happy birthday!
10:21Congratulations po.
10:23Happy birthday po.
10:2480 years old and still looking great.
