00:00First, Mr. Chairman, thank you very much for having a hearing here, especially here at Paxilica.
00:07It's been a long time to study this initiative.
00:12I saw that there are a lot of things that we need to talk about
00:18and a lot of things that we need to talk about here.
00:24First, I saw that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our country.
00:31If it's not to come to our country,
00:34I'm sure to come to Vietnam, to Thailand, to Indonesia.
00:39Other countries will accept it.
00:42One of the biggest jobs is almost 200,000 direct jobs in this initiative.
00:54During the construction phase, almost 800,000 jobs can be made in this place.
01:05Almost 70 billion dollars are invested in this initiative.
01:10At in such a period, it's very difficult for our economy.
01:17If there are people who invest in our country,
01:20it's a big deal for our long-term growth.
01:25Secondly, I saw that this is one of the biggest industry shifts in our country.
01:34The biggest industry that entered our country is the BPO,
01:38Business Process Outsourcing during the 90s.
01:42But in my research and my reading,
01:47if we don't have an industry shift,
01:50this BPO will wipe out the artificial intelligence.
01:54There are a lot of jobs that are lost because of artificial intelligence,
01:59especially the entry-level jobs and low-value jobs,
02:04such as the call centers.
02:07So if we don't have a new industry,
02:11there are a lot of people who have lost jobs.
02:15So, Mr. Chairman, I personally support this PAC Silica.
02:22But there are a lot of conditions and caveats.
02:26Like the negotiations,
02:29when we come to a business,
02:31there are risks,
02:32there are caveats,
02:34there are conditions.
02:35And that's what we need to talk about.
02:38And that's what we need to talk about.
02:39We need to talk about our committee.
02:43The risks and caveats,
02:45First of all,
02:47initiative this initiative is
02:49sang-ayon sa ating saligang batas
02:53at sang-ayon sa ating local laws.
02:56Wala pong compromise ho dyan.
02:58Hindi ho natin pwede isalang-alang ang ating sovereignty o soberenya.
03:03Importante po na ito ay compliant sa ating saligang batas.
03:08Pangalawa,
03:09yung mga environmental concerns na naririnig natin.
03:12Tubig,
03:13isa dyan sa pinakamalaking concern.
03:15Sa mga data centers,
03:18even semiconductor industries,
03:23matakaw ho talaga yan sa tubig.
03:25So importante ho na na-address ho natin
03:27yung demands nitong Paxilica initiative
03:32pagdating po sa tubig.
03:33Pangatlo,
03:34kuryente.
03:37Sawang-sawa na ho tayo sa yellow alerts,
03:40sa red alerts.
03:41Pagpapasok po na isang malaking industriya,
03:43importante po na ma-address ho natin yung kakulangan po sa kuryente.
03:49Pangalawa,
03:50yung displacement po.
03:52Pangatlo,
03:53yung displacement po ng ating indigenous peoples,
03:56mga katutubo ho natin at mga magsasaka ho natin.
03:59Hindi ho natin pwedeng payagan na mawalan ng trabaho ang ating mga magsasaka.
04:04Hindi ho natin pwedeng payagan na ma-displace
04:06o matanggal po sa kanilang lugar ang ating mga katutubo.
04:11Importante po na makatarungan po,
04:13ang ating pagtrato po sa ating mga magsasaka at ating mga katutubo.
04:20At lastly po,
04:21yung technology transfer.
04:23Importante po na natututuho dito tayo.
04:26Hindi ho pwedeng papasok lang ang industriya, aalis, wala tayong matututunan.
04:30Importante na magkaroon po na malinaw ng technology transfer,
04:34lalo na sa ating mga kabataan.
04:36Pinagmamalaki ho natin meron tayong isa sa pinakabatang populasyon sa buong mundo.
04:41Pero kung mang-magneman po yung ating populasyon, wala rin po mangyari.
04:45Kaya importante po na technology transfer na mangyari.
04:52At malapit na ho tayo sa...
04:54Alam niyo, isa sa mga bagay na dapat ho natin ipagmalaki ay ang ating semiconductor industry.
05:00Narinig ko ang dito si Dan, na chika.
05:04Ninth na tayo, tama ba Dan?
05:06Ninth na tayo sa pinakamalaking exporter ng semiconductor sa buong mundo.
05:11Pero low value, mababa po yung value.
05:14At nakakita ko itong paksilika,
05:16from low value tatalon po tayo to high value.
05:20Mas marami ang magiging kita po ng ating bansa
05:24at maraming kabutihan ang pwede pong idulot po
05:29nung kita na makukuha ho natin dito sa initiative na ito.
05:33Kaya meron na tayong base pagdating ho sa semiconductor
05:38pero hindi ho tayo umaakyat doon sa base na yun.
05:40So ito yung nakikita kong susi para from low value
05:43maging high value at mas marami tayong trabaho na maliligha.
05:47Kaya muli mga chairman, maraming maraming salamat po dito sa inyong pagdinig.
05:52At tama-tama ho ito dahil habang kinoconstruct,
05:57binubuo po itong paksilika,
05:58importante po na ang Senado ay magkaroon po ng oversight.
06:02At masigurado na itong mga risk,
06:04itong mga naririnig ho nating mga hinaing,
06:08eh matugunan ho natin.
06:09Maraming maraming salamat po, Mr. Chairman.
06:23Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chairman.
06:24Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chairman.
06:26Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chairman.
