The proposed P4.1 trillion national budget for 2020 is now a step closer to becoming a law after the Senate-House panel signed and approved Wednesday morning the committee report on next year’s spending bill.
True to its earlier pronouncements, the bicameral conference committee gave swift approval to the expenditure plan after just two public meetings and several closed-door talks. The first one happened last November 29 also here at the Manila Polo Club in Makati City.
The House contingent meanwhile was led by Majority Leader and Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez and House appropriations chair and Davao 3rd District Rep. Isidro Ungab. Joining the contingent were Reps. Joey Salceda, Luis Raymund Villafuerte, Neptali Gonzales, Jose Antonio Sy-Alvarado, Lucy Torres-Gomez, Bernadette Herrera-Dy, Alfred Vargas, Edcel Lagman, Janette Garin, Ronaldo Zamora, Romeo Momo Sr., Jocelyn Limkaichong, Teodorico Haresco Jr.
