THE House of Representatives is determined to approve the General Appropriations Bill for 2025 on third and final reading on Wednesday before it goes on a break.The proposed national budget for next year is P6.352 trillion.On Sunday, Speaker Martin Romualdez said the House was 'treating the national spending program with urgency without sacrificing transparency.'Approving the bill before the recess would give the Senate enough time to scrutinize the budget, Romualdez said.
The budget, Romualdez said, would also 'serve as an instrument for the government to spread the dividends of economic progress through various social protection and financial assistance initiatives, and funding for infrastructures like roads, hospitals, classrooms, seaports and airports, irrigation systems, and transportation networks.'The budget bill reached the plenary level after the House Committee on Appropriations finished its meetings with government offices.
