00:41Upon consultation with the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance,

00:45as well as our Minority Leader, Senator Coco Pimentel,

00:50I move that we consider and adopt, for consideration of the Senate and approval,

01:01the budget of the Office of the President, the President's offices,

01:06and the Presidential Management Staff.

01:09In the budget deliberations of the PCO,

01:11Senator Minority Leader Coco Pimentel asked the Executive Order on Freedom of Information.

01:18Are the people using this mechanism, any requests for FOI have been made and were granted by the office?

01:31Through the FOI program, Mr. President, the citizens are afforded the right to access

01:35government-held information, documents, data, and statistics.

01:39There have been 239,741 EFOI requests lodged,

01:46and there have been 151,991 standard FOI filed.

01:52There are different types of FOI requests, statistics, data sets, research, legal documents,

01:58personal information, etc.

02:08with 22,692 requests, PSA, Statistics Authority,

02:13National Telecommunications, BIR, DepEd.

02:17Another item discussed in the plenary is the budget of the Department of Migrant Workers,

02:22where the Senators assessed the condition of some OFWs,

02:26particularly those with cases in other countries, including those in the death row.

02:30Recently, around 11 returnees, just last week, Mr. President,

02:36they were freed, Mr. President, and

02:40it is also because of the fact that our department consistently visits our kababayans who are in jails.

02:48In Malaysia, there are 41.

02:52In death row?

02:54Eight females and 33 males, Mr. President.

02:57Wow, that's a lot.

02:58So, there are...

03:04Meanwhile, in the budget deliberations of the Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development,

03:09Senator Cynthia Villar asked to discuss the condominiums

03:13of a senator whose priority is housing, not housing.
