Senators are keen on wrapping up the final version of next year’s P5.268-trillion national budget to avert government operating under a reenacted 2022 budget on January 1, 2023. Know more:
, every day, from November 9 to 11, and then back again [on] 14, 15, 16The target is to approve the budget on second and third reading on November 21, or November 23 at the latest. As soon as the Senate approves its version of the budget, it will promptly form a bicameral panel tasked to reconcile differing provisions in the Senate- and House-approved versions of the annual money measure.
Asked about a P450-million lump sum allotment cited by Pimentel, Zubiri said, “I do not want to comment because I do not know where that lump sum is found.” He also said earlier that he will consult Angara, as Finance committee chairman, about such lump sums. Zubiri expressed confidence the Senate-House panels tasked to wrap up a final version of the money measure can do it even by before the end of November.
At the same time, Zubiri confirmed that “under our rules, when session in ongoing, there can be no other committee hearings. That’s why [even the] Commission on Appointments [hearing] is postponed—let me get my calendar—is actually postponed up to November 22, 23, Tuesday and Wednesday.”
