Para sa transparency, accountability, at better public service, ibinabahagi namin ang proposed 2027 budget ng NCIP.

Sa likod ng bawat pondo ay may serbisyong kailangang makarating, komunidad na kailangang maabot, at mga katutubong umaasang matutugunan ang kanilang pangangailangan.

Malawak ang mandato ng NCIP at habang patuloy nating tinutupad ang mga target na itinakda para sa ahensya, kailangan din nating maging tapat sa isang mahalagang tanong: Ilang pangangailangan pa ang hindi natin naaabot?

Para sa akin, ito ang dapat maging sentro ng usapan sa budget. Hindi lamang kung magkano ang kayang gastusin, kundi kung gaano karaming buhay at komunidad ang kaya nating mapaglingkuran.

Dahil bawat kakulangan sa pondo ay may mga batang maaaring hindi mabigyan ng pagkakataong makapag-aral at may komunidad na maaaring manatiling malayo sa ating serbisyo.

Sa huli, ang tunay na sukatan ng budget ay hindi lamang ang bilang sa papel, kundi ang bilang ng mga taong napagsilbihan natin.

Ito ang Part 1 ng ating pagtalakay sa budget ng ating Komisyon.

Mahalaga na alam ng ating mga kababayan kung saan napupunta ang pondo at kung ano pa ang kailangan nating gawin upang mas marami tayong maabot.
