The 2025 General Appropriation Bill containing the P6.352 trillion national budget for next year is only one signature away from becoming a law after the Senate and the House of Representatives ratified the measure on Wednesday. This came after the bicameral conference committee approved and adopted the report on the disagreeing provisions of GAB earlier in the day. The ratified measure will be sent to Malacanang for the president's signature.
“I would just like to manifest that I join the Minority Leader in the minority’s vote of ‘no’ to this bill. I will submit my explanation of ‘no’ vote in writing with emphasis on the effective defunding of PhilHealth in the bill,” said Hontiveros. Speaker Martin Romualdez said that both chambers worked hard on the crafting of the budget.
