The House of Representatives will prioritize the ratification of the ₱5.024 trillion national budget for 2022 as sessions resume tomorrow.
“Our commitment is to ensure that the budget bill, which is focused on getting the Philippines back on the road towards full recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, reaches President Duterte’s desk before the yearend,” House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco said in a statement on Sunday.
“We are glad that the Senate is on the same page as the House insofar as the national budget is concerned,” he said. “As soon as the Senate is done with its own version of the budget, the House will be selecting the contingent to the bicameral conference committee to help reconcile the two versions,” Velasco added.
After the Senate approval, both houses of Congress will seek to approve by December the bicameral conference committee report on the proposed national budget.
