Progressive lawmakers outraged by Presidential Communications Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy's persistent red-tagging managed to suspend her entire agency's 2021 budget hearing at the House of Representatives on Wednesday, September 9.
This is not the first time that a PCOO budget was endangered by the doings of its officials. In 2018, the Zarate said it is insulting that Badoy and the rest of PCOO and its attached agencies are now asking the House of Representatives to approve their P1.59 billion budget for 2021. The budget is lower than the P1.69 billion this year.Kung ganun-ganun na lang pong mag-aakusa itong isang unelected official na ito sa mga halal ng bayan at humihingi sila ng budget dito
Zarate also blasted Badoy for saying they are not real lawmakers, when they won their seats in the lower house through a generally clean election.
