The money measure was submitted to the Senate’s Legislative Bills and Index Service, per the Senate Public Relations and Information Bureau.
The House of Representatives on Thursday submitted its approved version of the P6.352 trillion General Appropriations Bill for 2025 to the Senate amid inclement weather.
A total of P646.5 million will now bolster DSWD’s Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations program, while another P646.5 million will support the DOH’s Medical Assistance for Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Patients program. In 2023, the OVP spent P53 million on leasing 10 satellite offices and two extension offices nationwide. This was a steep increase from the P4.1 million annually spent on office rentals during the term of former Vice President Leni Robredo.
“By eliminating redundant roles, government can save as much as P1.3 billion, which constitutes a significant portion of the OVP’s proposed P2.037 billion budget for 2025. The House believes this amount could be more effectively allocated to existing agencies, enabling them to extend their services to the public more efficiently,” Co stressed.
