What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Senate is vetting the proposed P7.2 trillion 2027 national budget, following concerns from major business groups regarding P180 billion in realignments introduced by the House of Representatives. The Senate Committee on Finance will remove projects from the General Appropriations Bill if they lack required supporting documents, such as feasibility studies. This action comes as the Senate removed provisions that had been flagged by the Supreme Court.
