Hello, hello, hello mga kameta! Kamusta kayo dyan? I hope itong vlog na naman natin hindi mawala mamaya

Wishing you guys a good week, happy Monday, happy Monday afternoon. I hope you had great time doon sa inyong mga kung saan kayo nagbakasyon o naghaliparot or whatever marites na ginawa niyo over the weekend

I hope you guys naka-recover po kayo. Sabi ko nga good vibes tayo today. Kaya chinicheck natin yung mga latest updates and developments

At tinitignan natin yung mga top news and headlines today. Not one but multiple things actually have been happening today

Of course unang-una meron update tayo dyan sa response ng Philippine government doon sa United Nations Rapporteur on Human Rights

Yung push for investigation by the United Nations doon sa ICC related issues

Specifically yung mga allegations of widespread human rights violations and extrajudicial killings under the previous administration

Meron din response si dating defense minister, dating senate president and now presidential legal advisor of course si Juan Ponce Enrile

Meron din siyang response doon. Meron siyang almost threat, well not almost it's a threat doon sa mga investigators from United Nations kung gusto nila pumunta dito

Kanina ito pa yung sinabi ni Juan Ponce Enrile. Ay, wait lang. Naka-obvious pala tayo so I can actually show it

So bago tayo pumunta kay Vice President Lenny... Lenny Roberto, sorry. Vice President, Vice President Sara Duterte

Ayan tayo talagang 2023 na tayo. Ayan pa. Rusty pa rusty pa

Let's double-check natin ito. Ipakita natin itong response ni dating defense minister, dating senate president and of course the current presidential advisor si Juan Ponce Enrile

Doon sa demand, requests, or rather almost demand na to investigate yung mga human rights violations sa ilalim ng dating administration

Let's double-check natin ito yung response niya. Ilan taon na pa siya? Ninety-nine? Nak-hundred na po siya o hindi? Si Mang Johnny

Check natin dito para makita natin yung latest sa kanya

Don't worry. Don't worry. Ito ito ito. Ito yung kay Mang Johnny

If I were to be found guilty, I will be arrested

Sir, what about...

They interfere too much in our internal affairs

I'm telling you, as lawyer of the president, I will not allow slurs and curses. I will not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice

They have no sovereign power over us. If they will come here, if I were to be found guilty, I will be arrested

Sir, what about...

They interfere too much in our internal affairs

I don't know. Nakikita niyo yung mga kamayanta. Wait lang.

As lawyer of the president, I will not allow slurs and curses. I will not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice

They have no sovereign power over us

Ayan, okay. Tinanggal natin. So ito, ito yung stance ng dating senator, defense minister, and current presidential advisor na si Mang Johnny

Yon Ponce Enrile doon sa calls for investigation by the United Nations doon sa EJK or allegations of extrajudicial killing under the previous administration

So ang stance na is too much interference which sounds very much like the previous president Duterte

In that, wala daw silang jurisdiction dito

Well, obviously, a lot of international lawyers, not yung mga dating spokesman, dating mga international lawyers na naging spokesman ni tata, hindi yung mga ganun

Yung mga legit na international lawyers, etc., they'll tell you na hindi po absolute ang sovereignty ng isang gobyerno

And of course, even if we're no longer part of the ICC, the jurisdiction question is not just gonna go away like that

Not to mention, we have signed up along so many other countries doon sa responsibility to protect, yung principle of responsibility to protect

Kaya may humanitarian interventions na tinatawag

Governments don't have absolute sovereignty, including on issues that have to do with basic human rights and all

But anyways, yun yung stance ng government. So far, so far, mukhang the Marcos Jr. administration is standing strongly by the previous president and the previous administration

On at least, investigation related to allegations of extrajudicial killings and widespread human rights violations under the previous administration

So we'll have more updates on that. Baka mamaya mawala naman itong video natin

Hindi talaga bumalik yung video natin na ginawa natin doon sa announcement ng ICC

Hindi na siya bumalik. Hanggang ngayon, hindi siya na-post. So malaking mystery po yan

Hindi pa rin siya... video not available

See? Talagang iba

Whatever is happening

Balikan natin itong issue natin

So today was also an important day because my big announcements

Of course, speech si Vice President Sara Duterte who happens to be also our Deputy Secretary

So she made a number of suggestions on how to move forward pagdating sa education crisis natin sa Pilipinas

Now, before going to aning sinabi niya under the so-called matatag agenda

Let me just go a little bit into the education crisis in the Philippines

Because this is quite serious and I would say

In the constellation of many crises na hinarap na ating bansa

Whether it's inflation, whether it's conflicts of West Philippine Sea, whether it's the issue of corruption

Trapones and all sorts of political dynasties and all of that

Not to mention human rights catastrophe and challenges that we have been facing in recent years

Actually, education crisis sa Pilipinas ay malala

Especially if you put it into a broader international context

So if you look at a number of important studies that have been released in recent years

By international organizations

Kitang-kita talaga na hindi lang napag-iwanan ng Pilipinas ng mga kapit-bahay natin

In fact, by global standards, the Philippines is among the worst in the world

So for instance, dun sa rankings ng students based on math and science proficiency

Yung PISA rankings

Na tinignan nila around 59-60 countries at least

The Philippines was ranked lowest dun sa lahat ng mga bansa na tinest nila back in few years ago lang

At I think only sa math na talo natin isang Central American country

But in terms of sciences, in terms of language proficiencies

We're talking about bottom of the rankings

Not even kulela, talagang next level na bottom of the rankings

And this is really worrying

Now to put things into context

Vietnam guys na kasing hirap ng Pilipinas

If you look at their per capita income, they just overtook the Philippines during pandemic

Thanks to great management of Tate Digon

They actually ranked in the top 10 in the world

If I'm not mistaken, Vietnam ranked number 8 dun sa PISA rankings

When it comes to math sciences and proficiency

So you can see countries that are just as poor as the Philippines

Actually far outperforming the Philippines

Because they're really investing in their educational institutions

And you're seeing that this is gonna pay off

And it's already paying off right now

Because pagdating sa human capital, sinabi natin

Manapakamahalag ang human capital when it comes to bringing investors

Especially high quality investors

The Samsungs and LGs and Hyundais and all of these big companies

Are going billions of dollars into Vietnam

Because they're very comfortable with the regulatory environment

But more importantly, they're also very happy with the human capital they have there

Yung skills level, yung wage levels

Kasi kung mababa lang wages, edi mas mababa pa sa Africa kaysa Vietnam

It's not just the wages, it's productivity

And a big factor behind productivity is high educational standards

And dun nang kita natin na Vietnam has been far ahead of a lot of peers

Completely incomparable to the Philippines

But as worrying as this was, even more worrying was a report that came out just the other year

By the World Bank, kung saan pinakita nga kami eto na

Ang Pilipinas is not only among 50-60 countries

But globally could be among the worst in the world

So ito, pinupost ko pa yung government mismo

Government news channel

So there was a World Bank report last year that talked about the disturbing

Very alarming situation pagdating sa education sa Pilipinas

So dito tinignan nila guys, hindi lang yung literacy levels

Marunong mag-hi, hello or mag-sulat

Or magbasa ng basics lang ang mga estudyante

But they really look at proficiency

Really proficiency

Gano ka proficient mga estudyante

Compared dun sa antas ng kanilang pinag-aralan

And based on this report, the situation is really, really alarming

I mean the word used here was really disturbing

So the report was based on three assessments that was released by the World Bank

So hindi lang yung Program for International Students

Yung PISA na pinakita ko in 2008

But also the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Studies

The Teams in 2019

And the First Cycle of the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics

Southeast Asia PLM in 2019

So they look at the PISA, TIMSS, and CPLM

At ayon sa World Bank, talagang may crisis ang Pilipinas

At of course, lumala itong crisis na yan

Because ng panahon ng pandemic, talaga na shut down maraming eskwela

And the return of the Philippines to face-to-face teaching

Didn't really resume until quite recently

Under Sara Duterte as the Deputy Secretary

Of course, there were a lot of concerns how efficient the transition was

But thank God, at least we're getting back to some element of face-to-face learning

Because nung nagsimula ng pandemic, na shut down yung face-to-face

And then of course, nagrila na tayo sa online classes

That exacerbated the situation

Because marami sa ating mga kababayan ay walang access sa reliable internet

Or they cannot afford reliable internet

Because it's so expensive in the Philippines

But more than that, of course, alam natin pagdating sa kabataan

Online teaching is not the same as face-to-face

Talagang malaking difference yan

I could say that even for us, yung mga nagtuturo sa graduate level or university level

Nakikita natin nangyirapan yung mga estudyante

At nangyirapan din kami mga nagtuturo, mga guru

So I can imagine it's far worse for yung mga primary education or secondary education

Or even senior high school, among others

So the situation is really, really alarming based on sa number ng World Bank

So ang tinignan nila for instance is that

According to global assessments, only 10-22% of grade 4, 5, and 9 students in the Philippines

Posted scores at or above minimum proficiency

So barely 1 out of 5, dun sa grades 4, 5, and 9

Ay nakamit ng basic, yung pinakaminimum levels ng proficiency

By global standards

So based on the numbers we saw, we're looking at up to 90%

90% learning deficiency

Pagdating sa ating mga kabataan

At really primary education level

You're looking at grades 4, 5, all the way to 9

So up to 90% deficiency in terms of educational standards or meeting the global standards

So talagang malalimang problema na ito

So for me, whoever is the education secretary

My point is, dapat talaga decisive yung kanya mga response

And something has to be done about this

And this is precisely what Vice President Sara Duterte tried to address in her major speech

On the education conference in the Philippines today

Oh, by the way, congratulations, mukhang nanalo rin si Sara Duterte

Vice President Sara Duterte

Ay, hindi siya nanalo pala

Na-feature siya

I should have probably used this picture

So I had to confirm kung totoo yan

So na-feature pala siya dun sa Expedition Magazine

Na based out on Dubai

So I had to double check it kung ito ay fake news or hindi

Mahirap na, di ba?

So dinouble check ko, mukhang

Yeah, so na-feature siya as empowered women

So congratulations to our vice president

O, eto, eto, eto, eto, ito yung source niya

International Magazine as Empowering Leader

Talagang wow, iba

Congratulations to our vice president for landing on

An international magazine based in Dubai

Shaw, sinignag natin nan yung background ng expedition na yan

So, today my

... my speech, my major education conference, si Vice President. At kung napansin niyo si Vice President Sara Duterte, hindi siya katulad ni Paolo Duterte. Parati siya all over the news, parating headlines, taming bloggers, taming supporters. She's much more low-key and she seems to be at least really focused on the task at hand and she's taking it very seriously based on at least this is the claim.

So meron siyang initiative, yung matatag initiative kung saan Vice President Sara Duterte is pushing really for some major, major overhaul dun sa ating basic education system.

Let me just bring that out. Saan ko nalagay yan? Now obviously a big part of this push is also a lot of funding. So ayon sa ating Vice President we need also big funding para we will be able to make this major transition.

So eto, basahin lang natin ng mga kamay. One second. So Vice President Education sa kanya Sara Duterte. Today, declare niya yung kanyang matatag agenda which would serve as the agency's road map over the next 6 years, 5 to 6 years.

According sa presentation sa ating Vice President, matatag stands for the following. Make the curriculum relevant to produce job-ready, active, and responsible citizens. So my vocational aspect, my good citizenship aspect, take steps to accelerate the delivery of basic education services and provision of facilities.

Take good care of learners by promoting learning well-being, inclusive education, and positive learning environment. And give support for teachers to teach better. So it's a different way of doing the acronym. Hindi lang first letter but first two letters and then one letter and then two letters.

Anyway, so today sabi niya the DEPEDT stands before you, heart in hand, humbly seeking your support. Improving access, equity, quality, resilience, and well-being will not happen overnight, nor can it be done by DEPEDT alone. We need a national commitment to sustain effort from all sectors of the society.

So prior to presenting matatag, si Sarah Duterte ay nag-enumerate ng mga problema sa education system natin saying, quote, lack of school infrastructure and resources to support the ideal teaching process is the most pressing issue. So ayon sa kanya talaga, we need big budget really to get things going.

Now, I'm just going to show you guys some of the numbers based on the presentation, et cetera, that have been coming out. Bakit Elon Musk ang nakikita ko dito? Okay. Para na makita niyo mga kameta what kind of fundings we're looking at.

So at least there's a recognition there's something fundamental that has to be fixed. So ito ah. So this is what we got online from Heidi Sampang. So these are some of the statistics na nakita natin based on presentation ni Sarah Duterte, Vice President Sarah Duterte.

And of course, so accordingly, there's a hope that, you know, there's hope that. So ito yung numbers na tinitingnan natin. So out of 327,000, barely a third are in good conditions. So marami pang kailangan ayusin dito. So obviously, that's not going to be cheap.

So the question is how much budget we need here. And obviously, the budget that is being asked, that will be asked will not be minimal. So here, we see here there's a discussion of a hundred billion pesos budget, right, in six years. And this is the graphics that has been provided by news media outlets on ano yung mga solution natin sa education crisis sa Pilipinas.

So let me just repost it here, mga kameta, para ma-discuss natin ng konti. So ito po yung tinitingnan nilang solution. So learning crisis, ito po yung overview. So 9 out of 10 Filipino children aged 10 years old struggle to read simple text. So yun yung sinasabi natin na 90% functional literacy deficit.

One out of four parents say children did not learn under distance learning. So that's a big, so we're looking at 75% efficiency at most, 75 to 80%. 72% of students aged 15 years old, low achievers in reading math, science, and reading. 425 private schools permanently closed during the pandemic. 91,000 more classrooms need to be built in just this fiscal year alone.

And the Philippines needs to hire 147,000 more teachers to reduce class size to 35 students per teacher. So yung mga sources na ginamit dito ay World Bank, Alliance of Concerned Teachers, Department of Education, Samaan na naka kay isang pamilya ng Pantawid, Philippine Business for Education.

So this is the graphics that came out by news outlets. So ito yung ganoon kamalala yung problema. So there's no surprise why a significant budget allocation will be requested or has been requested in this regard.

So I really suggest you guys to check in presentation in Vice President Sara Duterte and make your judgments accordingly on the merits or the merits of some of her proposals. But based on my initial understanding of this overall, it looks like, you know, she is A, recognizing the depth of the problem. Second, there's some sort of a roadmap to move forward, the so-called matatag.

And the third, there's of course a certain budget that is being asked here, a significant amount. Ang of course the question for us is this, and this is not prejudicial to anyone in particular, akin lang naman, I am all for giving more budget to the education sector as much as possible dahil sobrang malalim yung problema.

Provided though, of course, I hope more budget goes into transparent fiscal process in the confidential funds. I hope there is really, we make sure that the team in the DepEd or whatever relevant agencies who are in charge of executing a massive plan, a blueprint for overhauling and transformation of education sector, these are really the best people in the business.

And when I'm saying the business, I'm not talking about the business of politics. I'm not talking about the business of performance of populism. I'm not talking about lawyers per se. I'm talking about people who understand education, basic education. You need experts. You need people with graduate degrees, with expertise, with background in this. And we need to get support from World Bank and different institutions all around the world to really deal with this education crisis.

The problem kasi with education crisis is generational, ang magiging negative impact na yan. At mahirapan talagang Pilipinas to catch up with the rest of the world as globalization becomes much more competitive and becomes much more digitally driven.

In fact, kailangan natin ng vlogs on Chachi, BT, all of these AI-driven technologies that are going to append and transform not only the education sector but labor markets among others. So talagang huling-huling na tayo. And in fairness naman, you cannot falsify or deteriorate dun sa mga crisis na meron tayo sa education system. That's why I'm wishing the best for whoever is in charge.

At the same time, we need to have accountability, we have to have transparency, and we have to have really the best team, the best and brightest who really have relevant expertise when it comes to education sector to be in charge of making sure whether it's 10 billion pesos, 100 billion pesos, whatever we're going to allocate there.

Potential billions of dollars that we're going to allocate over the next few years, hopefully this will be used and deployed in the best way possible. So my best wishes to the government and we're going to follow up in the coming months and years, God willing, what's going to happen when it comes to the education sector because we really have to do something about it.

And who knows, maybe Sardu 30 could be the one to upend the system. But we still have to get to know who are really going to execute and implement this on the ground. Operationalization is also as important as the blueprint.

So this is the thing that we're looking at.

Okay. Maraming salamat mga kamayat. I'll keep it here. Sabi nga, walang... Let's be kind. Good vibes lang tayo. So thank you very much. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng mga comment, nag-support sa atin.

As always, sila Mitch Tencho, Sir Michael Uy, Riz Annie, Justin Lumberi, lahat ng mga comment and all here. Good vibes lang tayo here. Okay, so please check the numbers, the data on your own and we'll post it also down there.

And please, as much as possible, guys, please try to come up with an objective understanding. Kasi malalim talaga ang problema nito. So whether you like who's in charge or not.

The question is, how can we help our government and our education sector? And for me, it's something more personal and close to my heart because I'm also an educator.

And of course, I also work with public institutions, in this case, University of the Philippines. So my best wishes to the government. Hopefully, we can deal with this because kawawa naman yung mga estudyante.

Kawawa naman yung bansa natin kung hindi natin maayos talaga itong ugat ng problema pagdating sa education sector.

And this could be really the Achilles heel for the Philippines in the coming decades if we don't deal with this problem in a decisive and radical manner anytime soon.

So my best wishes and let's see how things are going to move forward. I'm going to post sa baba yung sources na ginamit natin dito, where the data came from, etc.

You're free to check them on your own. God bless. Thank you very much and talk to you soon.
