00:00A senator is urging to change the name and increase the responsibility of the National Economic and Development Authority or NEDA.
00:08If it is implemented, it will be called the Department of Economy, Planning and Development or DEPDEV.
00:15Marie Zubali has the news.
00:20When it comes to planning programs for the development of our economy,
00:24an agency is responsible for that.
00:27The National Economic and Development Authority or NEDA.
00:30But because of the agency's responsibility, it should be expanded.
00:36Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri is urging to make it a government agency or department.
00:42The Department of Economy, Planning and Development or DEPDEV.
00:46It has a strong role in cabinet meetings and yet they're not a department.
00:51Sometimes, government agencies don't pay attention to the findings and solutions of the NEDA.
01:00It's like it's just an authority. Some agencies feel it's only a recommendatory.
01:06But it's not just a simple change of its name.
01:09The responsibility of the new government will be increased when it comes to building the budget of the government.
01:15Sometimes, the education fund is lost, the fund for social services is lost,
01:20the fund for trade and industry and commerce programs is lost.
01:26So now, under this law, it's stated here that DEPDEV will consult with DBM, Department of Budget and Management,
01:37to make our national budget in tune for our economic development.
01:44The proposal has already passed the Senate and the House of Representatives.
01:47On Wednesday, there will be a bicameral conference.
01:51But it will be considered as a paper bicameral because the Senate and House of Representatives
01:56approved almost the same.
01:58They agreed to ratify the bill on the same day.
02:02They hope that the President will sign it on the first week of February.
02:07Hopefully, we can add jobs, we can pay, investment opportunities and of course,
02:12streamlining of government functions and at the same time, streamlining of government work to our countrymen.
02:22For GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali for 24 Hours.
