The Manila City Council approved the proposed P25 billion annual budget of the city for fiscal year 2023, but not after several city lawmakers almost exchanged blows.
Villanueva said the budget hearing should go through the legislative process and should not be rushed from first to final reading on the same day. The shouting and pushing started after 6th District Councilor Salvador Philip Lacuna, brother of Mayor Lacuna, confronted Villanueva. Another opposition councilor, Luis Uy reportedly exchanged words during the confrontation that ignited heated debates with other city councilors. However, cooler heads prevented a more serious scenario during the hearing.
