00:00Some congressmen defended against the batikos regarding the fund of the Department of Education and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation
00:09under the so-called 2025 National Budget.
00:13In a press conference in the House, both House Deputy Majority Leader Paulo Ortega and Assistant Majority Leaders Jude Asidre and Jefferson Congjun,
00:25the government's priority is still the DepEd, Jude Asidre and Jefferson Congjun.
00:30If the government's education projects are to be combined, this is still the biggest allocation in the budget proposal,
00:39contrary to what others think.
00:41As an alliance, the government allocated the educational infrastructures to be built in the country.
00:47Regarding the PhilHealth, congressmen also defended that the agency still has a fund
00:53and that the problems in the system should be addressed.
01:23I'm not going to fund PhilHealth forever.
01:25I don't have a congressman who wants that.
01:27I don't have a senator who wants that.
01:30If you combine the budget of the Department of Education, CHED, SUCs, TESDA,
01:40the budget of the government is still bigger than the budget of the Department of Education.
01:47That's why we need to look at this in totality, what is being given by the funds of our government.
