NANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF GUESTS
Rep. Gerald Anthony V. Gullas Jr. acknowledged
the presence in the Session Hall of students of the
University of the Philippines College of Forestry and
Natural Resources while Rep. Francis Gerald A.
Abaya acknowledged the guests of Rep. Jeffrey D.
Khonghun.
THE PRIVILEGE HOUR
With leave of the House, on motion of Rep.
Abaya, the Chair declared a Privilege Hour and
thereafter recognized Rep. Roy V. Seeres Sr. from
OFW Party-List for his privilege speech.
PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. SEERES
Rep. Seeres initially congratulated his fellow
Mindanaoan, Deputy Speaker Balindong for his
election as Deputy Speaker from Mindanao. He then
delivered a speech to rebut the allegation that
Congress is the epicenter of massive graft and
corruption in the country by raising the followingpoints, among others: 1) the World Bank estimates
that about 30 percent or about P500 billion of the
annual budget goes to graft and corruption; and 2)
the budget for Priority Development Assistance Fund
(PDAF), if truly being wasted to massive graft and
corruption, comprises just a miniscule three percent
of the amount being announced by the World Bank.
He added that the Office of the Ombudsman and
the Commission on Audit should have responded to
the allegation of the international agency by asking
them the specific bases of its estimate. He thereaftercommended the neophyte Members of the House for
initiating efforts to stop graft and corruption,
particularly for opposing the PDAF and heeding
public opinion.
On motion of Rep. Gullas, the Chair recognized
Deputy Speaker Carlos M. Padilla
INTERPELLATION OF REP. PADILLA
After commending the anti-corruption efforts ofthe neophyte solons, Rep. Padilla mentioned that the
House leadership under the Speaker and himself
included, had also endorsed the decision of the
President to abolish the PDAF. He then used the
more conservative estimate of the Philippine Anti-
Graft Commission that only 20 percent of the
national budget is lost to graft and corruption every
year, to illustrate that the PDAF constitutes a measly
1.4 percent of the 2013 national budget.
Reps. Padilla and Seeres agreed on the need to
institute reforms in public spending and to prosecute
and convict corrupt officials in all branches of
government. The former however pointed out that
there may also be more anomalies made by other
government agencies which are worthy of greater
attention than the public scrutiny of the lawmakers
PDAF.
REFERRAL OF REP. SEERESPRIVILEGE SPEECH
On motion of Rep. Gullas, there being noobjection, the Body referred Rep. Seeres privilege
speech and the interpellation thereon to the
appropriate Committee.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF GUESTS
At this point, Rep. Gullas acknowledged the
presence in the Session Hall of guests of Rep. Barry
Gutierrez while Rep. Abaya acknowledged the guests
of Reps. Jose Christopher Y. Belmonte and Leah S.
Paquiz.
Thereafter, on motion of Rep. Gullas, the Chair
recognized Rep. Rodrigo A. Abellanosa from the
Second District of Cebu City for his privilege speech.
PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. ABELLANOSA
Rep. Abellanosa paid homage to Sergio Osmea
Sr., who is considered to be the pride of the
Cebuanos. In behalf of all the Representatives of
Cebu, as well as all the other Members therefrom, he
thanked Senior Sto. Nio for giving them the formerPresident. As the country remembers the birth
anniversary of President Osmea, Rep. Abellanosa
enjoined his colleagues to continue the fight against
poverty and corruption so that the people will enjoy
the independence that the nations forefathers fought
hard for.
At this juncture, Deputy Speaker Balindong
relinquished the Chair to Rep. Jorge Bolet Banal.

ence in the Session Hall of guests of Reps. Cresente
C. Paez, Anthony M. Bravo and Gutierrez.
MANIFESTATION OF REP. LOONG
Recognized by the Chair on motion of Rep. Gul-
las, Rep. Tupay T. Loong manifested, for incorpora-
tion into the privilege speech that he delivered the
previous day, that the unimplemented provisions of
Republic Act (RA) 9054 or the Organic Act for the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM)
have caused the Moro National Liberation Front to
believe that it is being ignored by the national gov-
ernment thus causing the group to continue its strug-
gle.
He cited in particular the failure by the govern-
ment to implement certain provisions of RA 9054 in
compliance with the 1996 Final Peace Agreement
including, among others, the ARMM representation
in central government or national government de-
partments and offices by election or appointment;
membership in the Executive department, constitu-
tional bodies, National Security Council, and gov-
ernment corporations; appointment of qualified
ARMM jurists in the Judiciary and to the Judicial
and Bar Council; creation of the Office of the DeputyCourt Administrator for the ARMM; and the provi-
sions promoting fiscal autonomy in the region.

issue within the context of the Ruggie framework on
business and human rights, he revealed the humanrights violations being committed by Oceana Gold,

to the indigenous peoples (IPs) of Nueva Vizcaya,
and the firms nonpayment of proper excise taxes.
He then recommended: 1) the immediate
deportation of Oceana Golds general manager for
acts proved to be inimical to the people of Didipio
and for the punishment of the security guards
involved therein; 2) the strict implementation of
Section 59 of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act

On motion of Rep. Gerald Anthony V. Gullas Jr.,

from the Second District of Surigao del Norte who
spoke about a standoff between a group of Manobo
tribesmen demanding mining royalty payments from
ADNAMA Mining Resources Inc. for their mining

which they claimed are part of their ancestral
domain.
He thereafter called on the Committee on
National Cultural Communities to immediately
conduct an investigation in aid of legislation into the
matter to establish if the royalty demands and the
claimants are legitimate, and if the apparent
intervention of certain local government officials by
encouraging false claims and acts of extortion, are

sources, Inc., in Surigao del Norte. She expressed her
support to the call of Rep. Romarate for another con-
gressional investigation by the Committee on Na-
tional Cultural Communities on the particular con-cern which she pointed out has been brought before
the local government of Dinagat Islands. She said
that it is likewise the concern of other indigenous
communities in the Caraga region.

RESUMPTION OF THE PRIVILEGE HOUR
On motion of Rep. Gullas, the Body resumed the
Privilege Hour and on his further motion, the Chair
recognized Rep. Jose L. Atienza Jr. from the Party-
List Buhay for his privilege speech.
PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. ATIENZA
Rep. Atienza adverted to the issue of yesterdays
flooding in Metro Manila to call attention to a
perennial concern and the absence of governments
response during a time of calamity. He claimed that
the heavy flooding had brought the government again
to a nonreactive state and called to task the traffic
enforcers from the Metro Manila Development
Authority (MMDA) for their absence in the streets ofthe metropolis to provide solutions to the ensuing
chaos and traffic congestion. Considering the adverse
effects of instant flooding, traffic congestion, and
peace and order problems in the metropolis, he
argued for the creation of the position of a Metro
Manila governor and the creation of a Metro Manila
government that will address the aforecited perennial
concerns, including the lack of public accountability
of government officials to the residents of Metro
Manila.
Rep. Atienza informed the Body that he will file
the requisite measure that will address the concerns
of Metro Manila residents. He also expressed the
hope that President Benigno S. Aquino III would take
action on these concerns.

already witnessed the perennial problems of Metro
Manila. He however admitted to being aware of the
sacrifices that the present MMDA chair is doing to
come up with a solution to the gargantuan problems
that the MMDA is facing. He averred that with so
much responsibility, the MMDA is lacking in
authority and resources and instead of being
criticized, the agency should be given the proper
funding and authority to be able to fulfill its
responsibilities.
REFERRAL OF REP. ATIENZAS
PRIVILEGE SPEECH
On motion of Rep. Banal, there being no
objection, the Body referred the privilege speech of
Rep. Atienza and the interpellation thereon to the
appropriate Committee.
Thereafter, on motion of Rep. Gullas, the Chair
recognized Rep. Reynaldo V. Umali from the Second
District of Oriental Mindoro for his privilege speech.
PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. UMALI (R.)
Rep. Umali delved into a truthful assessment of
how far the promised reforms of the Electric Power
Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) of 2001 have gone and
how much benefits and returns have been realized
from investments in the reformed and restructured
power industry.
At this juncture, Deputy Speaker Balindong
relinquished the Chair to Rep. Banal.
He stated that when the EPIRA was passed in
the 11th Congress, it was widely taunted as the
solution to the chronic shortages in power supply and
the answer to the unstable and high power rates.

Unfortunately, he lamented that the objectives of the
EPIRA have not been attained as the power
landscape is littered with rulings, orders, decisions
and administrative issuances of the Energy
Regulatory Commission (ERC) that would fall short
of the promise to protect and promote consumer
interest. Furthermore, he added that there are sectors
in the power industry that are undergoing unbundling
and restructuring of their generation, transmission,
distribution and supply systems resulting to power
rate increases and frequent brownouts in Mindoro
and Mindanao.
With the EPIRA falling short of its promise for a
stable and reliable power supply at a reasonable
price, Rep. Umali urged his colleagues to revisit and
immediately review the EPIRA as Congress has to
enact policies that would genuinely address theconcerns of the energy sector.
MOTION OF REP. GULLAS
Rep. Gullas moved for the recognition of Rep.
Edgardo R. Masongsong for his interpellation.
MANIFESTATION OF REP. ATIENZA
At this point, Rep. Atienza sought recognition
from the Chair.
SUSPENSION OF SESSION
Thereupon, the Chair motu proprio suspended
the session at 5:38 p.m.
RESUMPTION OF SESSION
The session resumed at 5:39 p.m.
Thereafter, on a previous motion of Rep. Gullas,
the Chair recognized Rep. Masongsong for his
interpellation.
INTERPELLATION OF REP. MASONGSONG
Rep. Masongsong discussed with Rep. Umali
(R.) the need to amend certain provisions of the
EPIRA because of its failure to: 1) fully address the
huge debt of the power industry; 2) entice the private
sector to join in the business of power generation;
and 3) enable the Department of Energy to perform
its task of managing power plants and providing
proper business environment in the power sector. He
thereafter expressed his support to the proposal of
reviewing and amending the EPIRA.
INTERPELLATION OF REP. ATIENZA
Recognized by the Chair, Rep. Atienzas queries
focused on the increasing rate of electricity in the
country as compared to other nations, given the fact
that the Malampaya Fund is adequate enough to
subsidize power cost or develop energy resources.
He thereafter expressed hope that said fund would be
properly used even by the next administration to
address the countrys power requirements, andsuggested a study on the use of coal-powered plants
to lower the cost of electricity.
The Chair thereafter recognized Rep. Terry L.
Ridon for his interpellation.
INTERPELLATION OF REP. RIDON
Rep. Ridon discussed with Rep. Umali (R.)
certain issues regarding the need for a comprehensive
review of the EPIRA to attain the laws objective of
generating lower and reasonable power rates which
they agreed would result in the protection and benefit
of power consumers and industries and make the
economy more globally competitive. They also
tackled the benefits that would redound to the public
with the broadening of the ownership base of power-
generation companies, the fair and non-
discriminatory treatment of public and private sector
entities in the process of restructuring the power
industry and the creation of an independent
regulatory body.
INTERPELLATION OF REP. BIAZON
Recognized by the Chair, Rep. Rodolfo G.
Biazons questions focused on two major issues
which are the concerns of the resolutions that he had
filed before the House: 1) the urgency of reviewing
the EPIRA; and 2) the exploration of other energy
sources, specifically coal which is being hampered
by concerns on climate change, the prior consent of
the affected communities, and food security. Rep.
Umali (R.) assured his colleague that the Committeeon Energy which he heads will prioritize the review
of the EPIRA and that Rep. Biazons second concern
will be given preference in the agenda of the
Committees next hearings.
