00:00Some lawmakers decided to quickly pass the 2025 national budget to the Camera.
00:07In the middle of the deliberation on the budget of the Department of Health,
00:10some congressmen even stole the microphone.
00:14Why? Let's find out in the first news of Macky Polillo.
00:18We have discussed most of our concerns.
00:20Okay.
00:21And...
00:22The deliberation on the budget of the Department of Health to the Plenary of the Camera will end when this happens.
00:28Mr. Speaker, we join the minority in their motion to terminate the period of the period of the Parliamentary Legislation.
00:33So move, Mr. Speaker!
00:34Is there a problem that is happening here with us?
00:37AgriPartylist Representative Wilbert Lee did not have a chance to speak.
00:42He wanted to ask more questions on the budget of the PhilHealth
00:45because it was completely blocked by the House leaders.
00:48Interpolations on the proposed budget of the Department of Health is hereby terminated.
00:52Let me question the borough, Mr. Speaker!
00:54Question suspended.
00:56Senior Deputy Minority Leader Paul Daza explained that there was a miscommunication.
01:01There was negotiations with the majority that only two will be interpolated,
01:07one for the Makabayan Black and then me.
01:10What happened was, there was a miscommunication.
01:15Congressman Wilbert Lee thought that he could enter and make a quick manifestation.
01:22All deliberations on the 2025 national budget have been completed.
01:27And as House Speaker Martin Romualdez said, the camera has captured their duty.
01:32We did our best to complete the 2025 national budget.
01:38We completed it in three hours.
01:42Even though it was early in the morning, we did not stop to make sure that we did our duty.
01:49President Bongbong Marcos Jr. made the House Bill 10800,
01:54or the 2025 national budget, certified urgent on Tuesday.
01:58The camera recorded it in the second and third readings within a day.
02:02The group of citizens first asked why it needs to be done quickly,
02:06since it needs to be implemented by January and there is no emergency.
02:10They pointed out to the Constitution that no law can be passed if it does not go through the three readings
02:15on a separate day, except if the President's bill is certified urgent because there is a calamity or emergency.
02:22They plan to question the Supreme Court on its passing because it did not go through the correct process.
02:28Why are you in a hurry? Do you want to make a quick manifestation?
02:32Why don't you show the congressmen the budget that they are approving?
02:38Well that's their prerogative. So we see them in court.
02:41But you believe that it passed the process?
02:44Yes, yes, yes.
02:46The parliamentary practice has been on the last day to take it to a vote on the second and third readings when it's certified urgent.
02:55The National Budget will be sent to the Bicameral Committee to unify the Senate and House version.
03:01The citizens said that these meetings should be open to the public.
03:05The Bicam should be public. The public should be able to see it.
03:10Has anybody seen a Bicam? No, no media has seen a Bicam.
03:14Why are you going to expensive hotels at the public expense?
03:20The Congress is free, the Senate or House, especially if it's just a Bicam.
03:26It means that the Congress is over.
03:29We are still trying to get a statement from the camera about this.
03:32This is the first news. Mackie Pulido for GMA Integrated News.
