SEN. Imee Marcos said she was strongly against the passage of the proposed 2025 General Appropriations Act , which she described as a 'very bad' budget.Speaking during a Senate media forum, Marcos argued that improving the budget's contents was better than rushing its passage.'There is no need to revert to a re-enacted budget; we still have a few days. All of us should be patient enough to approve this budget. The poor do not have a vacation, so let's not rush it.
'It is too obvious! Instead of prioritizing education, health, and social services, vague projects are being favored,' she said.'The budget must be reviewed. It should serve the interests of the entire population, not just a select few,' Marcos said.The opposition group 1Sambayan also hit out at 'glaring anomalies' in the proposed 2025 appropriations measure.
