MANILA, Philippines – The House of Representatives is set to start tackling the proposed P7.2-trillion national budget for 2027 next week, Manila Rep. Bienvenido Abante Jr. announced on Saturday.
Abante said Nueva Ecija Rep. Michaela Suansing, chair of the House Committee on Appropriations, has scheduled the debates to begin on Monday, or less than a week after President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., through acting Budget Secretary Kim Robert de Leon, submitted the budget proposal to the House of Representatives last Tuesday.
The outlay was presented to House officials led by Speaker Faustino G. Dy III and Majority Leader Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” A. Marcos of Ilocos Norte.
The deliberations will begin with a briefing by the Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC) on the sources of financing, expenditure levels and the budget proposals of departments, agencies and government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs).
