Marcos doing thorough review—Palace President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. assured the public of a constitutional 2025 budget as he goes through it
President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. assured the public of a constitutional 2025 budget as he goes through it with a fine-tooth comb before signing it on Monday, the Palace said.
“The President and the Cabinet are right now, with or without the calls, thoroughly reviewing the various items of the GAA to make them conform to the Constitution and to see to it that the budget prioritizes the main legacy thrusts of the administration,” Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said. “We want to continue to be professional. The President said that he is going to go over the budget,” Brawner said.The President pushed back the signing of the budget bill into law to December 30 to allow for a comprehensive review, noting that some projects included in the ratified measure lack proper documentation or clear objectives.Bersamin reiterated the administration’s commitment to its legacy programs, which include infrastructure development, food security, education, and public health.
“I’m hoping that they address the concerns of the education sector, especially the funding of the computerization of DepEd and the possible unconstitutionality of the education sector no longer being the priority of the budget allocation as well as the zero funding for PhilHealth,” Zubiri said.
