THE leadership of the House of Representatives on Thursday said it will give its full and undivided attention to the final approval of the P5.268-trillion General Appropriations Bill for 2023.
Last Monday, the House also passed House Bill 14 mandating the registration of all postpaid and prepaid mobile phone subscriber identity module cards to lessen mobile phone-enabled criminal activities. Dalipe said the House is committed to finish the sponsorship and floor debates by Wednesday next week and approve the budget on September 30.
“We can work until the wee hours if needed. We want to expedite the approval of the NEP so that we can also attend to the other equally important measures. We have other priority bills which we intend to pass during the 19th Congress,” Dalipe said. Hataman made this assertion as he continued to push for more infrastructure funds for Mindanao in the proposed 2023 national budget in the ongoing plenary discussion on the budget measure, citing the regional poverty incidences in the war-ravaged island.
According to Hataman, four out of the Top 5 poorest regions in the country as indicated by their poverty incidence come from Mindanao: BARMM, 45.8 percent; Caraga, 38.3 percent; Region 9, 37.4; Region 8, 36 percent; and Region 12, 34.1 percent.
