AMID concerns that the proposed P6.352-trillion 2025 General Appropriations Act contains unconstitutional provisions, Malacañang on Thursday said President Ferdinand Marcos is now “thoroughly reviewing” the items of the proposed piece of legislation.
Bersamin made the remark after Senator Juan Miguel F. Zubiri urged Marcos to address the supposed failure of the proposed 2025 GAA to provide the biggest budget allocation to education as stipulated in the 1987 Constitution. Earlier this week, Presidential Communications Secretary Cesar B. Chavez confirmed that the proposed 2025 GAA is expected to be signed on 30 December 2024.
The Palace has yet to explain how Marcos intends to raise the budget of the DepEd with the intervention of the House of Representatives.
