Walang Pagmumura, Panlalait, Pandudusta o Drama. Ganyan si PNOY, halos ayaw pakawalan ng Media dahil may Sense ang bawat sinasabi. Sayang napakarami lang kasing insecure sa Talino niya, kaya nagsipagmagaling lahat sila sa pag aakalang mas mahusay sila kaysa sa The Best President Ever Noynoy Aquino iii.

increase. And the initial solution that we had sought to employ to address that increase

is not panning out. Yung ang daming issues, for instance, yung PNCC franchise,

doon pagkukunin sana yung pagpabawas, kailangan na ma-recover ng investors.

Mayroon rin yung conflict, syempre, doon sa idea ng huwag natin babaguhin yung mga patakaran

pag tapos na nangyayay investor dito, may implications sa future investors in our country.

So I actually am hoping to meet Secretary Purisima today and Kim Henares also.

And si Secretary Purisima just came back from setting the groundwork for the U.S. trip.

Yung roadshow na gagawin natin to invite investors. So I'm hoping that he has recovered from jet lag

and we'll be able to meet today and to address that.

Plan B sa BAT?

I understand that the President is authorized to suspend the imposition of certain taxes.

It's only that.

There is a study ongoing rin, yung implications.

As far as S-TEX is concerned, you increase the toll rates, you increase in transportation,

tapos syempre yung BAT is another cost that might deter economic activity.

So this all will be discussed.

So yun yung plan B. I'm hoping to finish it with Secretary Purisima today or tomorrow.

As you know, meron na yung millennium challenge corporation yung signing.

It's over $400 million that we really need.

The other aspect is we were informed by the ambassador the first time,

when I met him, that there is a serious interest on the part of investors

who want to know what's in store for them if they invest in the Philippines.

So you know that job generation is the first priority.

And America still is, if not the biggest, one of our biggest trading partners.

Therefore, we're called upon really to go there and try to make the country even more attractive

to all of these investors in the hopes of generating all of those jobs.

Sir, hanggang ka lang yung hindi na defer yung implementation ng BAT?

Ang sakin, nalito ko na.

Priority ko na.

Priority ko dito ay 250% increase sa PISA, SLEX, na minano na nalano.

Yung franchise, for instance, ng PLCC, I have been advised that it has lapsed since 2007.

Medyo tatlong taon na hindi yung asikaso dito.

Yung authority to collect that arises from that franchise seems to be in question.

All of these matters are being studied by both the legal teams and the finance teams.

And they will be giving me certain recommendations.

Hopefully, at the very latest by tomorrow.

Sir, ano mo ang posisyon niyo doon sa imposition ng higher cigarette tax?

Kasi ano po sa gawin ni Health Secretary Ono?

Well, I understand Secretary Ono was asked, do you favor an increase in taxes?

Especially ng SYN products.

He said yes.

Tapos yung 90 pesos siya atang proposal, Secretary Ono's competition is in health, not in the finance sector.

So, that I think was added on to his comments.

That was not his comment.

Yung idea na, increase in SYN taxes.

Yes, from a societal concern.

And also, may trade-offs kasi.

Yung SYN products have a health burden on the people.

May peso body yung health burden na yan.

Tapos yung taxes versus the health burden are not equal.

So, that really has to be studied very, very well.

Exactly how much.

It will have to come from Congress.

All measures of taxation and appropriation.

Sir, but if there will be tax measures?

The measure that you would pass, would you prioritize this since this involves public health?

Most probably, the SYN taxes.

Sir, may we get your thoughts because 3 out of the 4 EOs issued by the Malacanang Ministry in question, they want to support you.

Well, yung, not to make light of it, pero one of the briefers that came before me questioned the grounds for the EO.

Di ba, the Constitutional Provision or Not Deprivation of Life Liberality.

Life Liberty and Property.

And we're talking of a position.

Medyo nahirapan ako makaintingin paano naging Life Liberty at Property yung position na pinag-uusapan.

Medyo ang babaw yata ng one of the arguments.

My legal team tells me that a lot of the petitions are more of the rabble-rousing nature rather than unknown.

Pero siguro, the fundamental principle is this.

We are trying to reform our society.

We are trying to correct errors, mistakes, and deliberate actions that injure the public good.

Undoubtedly, there will be people who benefited from that status quo to try and preserve the status quo.

So, the challenges are expected.

And, at, may rap-rap.

So, yung, that, okay na na yun.

But we are expecting those challenges.

And, hopefully, dito yung medyo di na muna ako magkocomment at subjudice na yan.

Baka naman tayo ma-issue para nakikialam na naman sa co-equal branch of government.

Sir, mayroon mo kong pwede na yun.

Sa'yo.

Yes.

Yung pagpunta nyo po sa U.S., anong industries yung isasama natin sa roadshow?

And, are you intending to include discussions on the visiting forces again since Congress is a move?

I think the trip will be something like four days or so.

So, at pera ng mga na-schedule.

Yung U.N. I think will be the primary thing.

But then, yung Millennium Challenge also, the signing of the compact.

And then, yung roadshow, portion of it will be IT.

Yung, there is a group.

It's called the Philippine Development Foundation, which aims to help us grow our IT base.

I mean, the people, the engineers, the scientists.

Kasi, it's a, there are Filipinos or there are Americans of Filipino descent who are into venture capital industries.

And, they are already, they are movers and shakers of that industry.

They find it difficult to invest in the Philippines primarily because kulang yung ating human resources.

To meet the needs of industries in that category.

So, I'm sure I will be meeting them also.

So, it's yung, I'm hoping na hindi tayo ma-jet lang na-hosta para maka-ausap as many as possible.

Pero, we don't think we'll be able to accomplish everything that has to be done on that one trip.

Then, of course, as you know, yung the other priorities, yung EU ASEAN Summit, no?

Where we have all the heads of state of the EU members present.

So, we will also have that as a priority.

China and Japan being very large trading partners also.

And, requesting for trips to their respective countries.

Sir, do you have plans to have a financial meeting with President Obama?

Or, ano yung there is to be done?

That has yet to be finalized.

Sir, kinausap nyo po ba yung mga kamag-anak nyo sa Luisita?

Yung, as you know, I adopted the hands-off policy.

So, I think for me to act properly here, if my constituents in Luisita had asked me,

to meet with them, I would have.

If the religious sector, the other chambers of commerce na amin doon,

or my relatives wanted to discuss it, then I would have discussed.

But, I'm not demotraged.

So, I handled other matters.

Sir, going back to the EOP, do you think it's unfair to accuse your legal advisors as being amateurists?

Siguro, iniintindi ko lang sa nagmumula yung kritisismo.

Yung kritisismo, yung mga gustong patuloy ang pakinabang na sa maling paraan.

So, ano ba, kung sila po pumuri sa atin, kailangan tayo kakabahan.

Bakit tayo pinupuri bigla nito mga ito?

So, yung normal and par for the course.

But, definitely, sir, you don't see any lack of legal opinion?

Yung, nobody's perfect.

And, this is, in a sense, we're confronted with a problem.

How do you govern with people who do not follow the agenda?

Who will try to stop you each and every step of the way?

So, we were confronted with a problem.

Talaga namang pinuno nang pinuno doon sa mid-light appointments.

At, magkakaroon talaga ng challenge.

We are trying to do, and we believe, we are trying to further the common good

by effecting changes in governance that will lead to the advancement of the agenda

at the earliest time possible.

Sir, sir, you said...

Si Justice Oreno nandito, nakakalimutan nyo.

Sir, you said you're connected to other matters in Luisita.

Where were those at the beginning?

No, not in Luisita.

There were other issues in Tarlac, for instance.

May nag-collapse the bridge about the...

And I wanted to ask, paano umabot na nag-collapse?

Na meron mga...

Parang dumadaloy pa yung traffic.

May danger na pala.

So, I want to check here.

Is that supposed to be a national bridge?

Tapos, I had an opportunity to talk to regional directors.

A couple of regional directors of the PNP.

I gave them my emphasis on my perceived problems in the respective areas.

So, nagkaroon ng exchange of information.

Nagkaroon ng mga...

Parang binigay sa atin yung kanilang mga courses of action that they may be undertaking.

And they have undertaken.

Sir, I'm grateful.

Ito na ba yung kapalit ng Wednesday?

I'm being criticized kasi kamag-anak mo naman doon yung may-arig na news.

I am having these hands-on talks.

Yung paniniwala ko, kamag-anak ko yung nandun.

Okay, trabayo, no?

But I have divested myself of all my interests there.

Ngayon, sino may interest doon?

It's the former beneficiaries.

And members of...

My family and other stockholders.

So, ang tanong dito, sino ba pinakamagaling makalaman kung anong dapat mangyari sa kanila?

Paniniwala ko, yung mga taong directly involved at hindi yung mga nasa labas ng dokumentaryo.

Ang mas may kakayahan, maalaman ko, unang dapat puntahan ng kanilang corporation doon.

So, kung ako papasunod, parang nakikialam ako, nag-iimpose ako sa mga taong napinsala for the past six years.

So, ako po, sinabi ko naman, boss ko ang taong bayan.

Kasama na sila sa tao.

Ang bayan, sila may interest doon, diretsoan.

Sila magsabi sa akin kung saan dapat ang direksyon.

So, sir, kahit may mga panawakan, may nasasabi-sasabi lang, kasi alam na kayo pa rin siya?

Mahirap naman yata sabihin sa CBCP.

May isa akong bisap na alam na nakikiksalita.

Mayroon namang bisap na nagsabing pabayaan yung mga nandong.

Sino sa dalawang bisap ang pakigawin?

Sir, Admiral Anguil is expressing his dismay over his demotion daw po.

This might trigger daw po ng demoralization sa ranks.

I think I will leave that, Chief of Staff.

But, sir, do we expect na magkakaroon ng revamp sa military following yung pag-change of position ni Admiral Anguil?

I think we have effected most of the changes starting from July 1.

This is just para nadadalilag yung implementation.

Sir, will you be open to new tax measures this year kung kailangan-kailangan?

Even the budget has been attuned to managing the deficit.

Yung going to bakit-conflicting needs of Comprime,

managing the inflation level, and also managing the deficit.

So, am I open?

At this point in time, we are not, we have not been advised that there is a necessity to do so.

Sir, and if advised?

Then we will review it.

Part of it kasi is we are also reviewing the entire debt structure.

Merong tayong opportunities to change our debt from foreign currency base.

At pwede rin yung pagbababa ng sourcing.

May lilimutan.

May lilipat natin.

Mas macha-charge tayo na mas mababang interest.

Yan ang isa sa mga pinagpapabreefocus ng Dalit Polisiba.

Ano ba yung buong loan portfolio natin?

Kanina ba tayo may utang?

Kailan ba maturation?

Ano ba ang interest rates?

Ano ba ang strategies to bring down the negative effects of such a large debt?

Sir, statement bang po regarding sa appointment mo kay Justice Serena?

Well, na-review natin yung mga CB.

Talagang napaka, how should I put it, awe-inspiring siguro yung resume ni Justice.

For instance, naipanalo yung dalawang kaso sa FIATCO tsaka sa Fraport.

Nandun rin siya sa MOA-AD.

Sa parehong pananaw natin sa dismemberment of the Republic.

At marami pang iba.

Pati na yung centerpiece ng ating gustong gawing reform sa ating judiciary,

eh siya rin ang namuno nung 2000.

Kung hindi ako nagkakamali.

Nung study na nag-identify ng mga problema ng ating judicial system.

Ngayon na nandyan na siya.

May implement ng mas mabilis palagay ko.

Yung mga kailangan na pagbabago sa ating dilatuna.

Sir, ano ba kung bang you don't personally know?

Ano mo, Ateneo at that time was 2000 students strong.

Siguro iisa naman ang kantin namin doon.

Nagkasalubong kami siguro at some point in time.

We're both economics majors.

Pero to be honest, I don't really recall ever having that.

I don't recall ever having met her or debated with her or being in the same class with her.

May one batch na difference.

Sir, how would you differentiate yung appointment ni Justice Salinas

sa pagkakain ko ni dating Pangulong Arroyo sa mga naunang Supreme Court President?

Well, palagay ko number one, wala tayong question kung nasa timely manner ba.

Na talagang sinunod dati lahat ng proseso dito.

At palagay ko naman,

mas ang daming puro yung inabot natin sa pagkakirang kay Justice Moreno.

Kaya doon siguro, doon ko na iiwan.

Maraming nakaka-recognize na talagang ating talino, galing at nagawa na.

Hindi po promised pero yung actuality na nagawa na.

Na talagang makakadagdag sa ating Cortez Moreno.

Okay?

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, guys.

Magkita-kita tayo.

Thank you.
