Mahalagang ang taumbayan ay kasama, ang mga peopleโs organizations ay kasama sa pagbusisi dahil sa transparency. Hindi dapat nating ginagawang, tawag dito, โopaqueโ o hindi makikita ang mga pangyayari o ang mga desisyon.
Kailangang masusing busisiin ng Senado ang panukalang pambansang budget upang matiyak na mapupunta ang pera ng taumbayan sa mga programa at serbisyong tumutugon sa pangangailangan ng ordinaryong Pilipino, kabilang ang seguridad sa pagkain, agrikultura, edukasyon, kalusugan, at kahandaan sa sakuna.
Partikular nating tututukan ang mga kondisyon bago mailabas ang unprogrammed appropriations at ang mga layuning maaari lamang paggastusan ng mga pondong ito.
Magsisilbing panimulang batayan ng ating pagbusisi ang desisyon ng Korte Suprema na nagdeklara bilang labag sa Konstitusyon ng ilang unprogrammed appropriations sa mga budget para sa 2024 at 2025.
Dapat ding i-livestream ang mga pagdinig ng bicameral conference committee, kung saan pinagkakasundo ng mga miyembro ng Senado at Kamara ang kani-kanilang bersyon ng 2027 national budget, gaya ng ginawa noong nakaraang taon.
Dapat isapubliko ang mga napagkasunduan sa mga closed-door meeting upang matiyak ang transparency at pananagutan sa buong proseso ng pagbuo at pag-apruba ng pambansang budget.

Clearing Imeldific
SKETCHES - Ana Marie Pamintuan
In 2003, the Supreme Court ruled that Ferdinand and Imelda Marcosโ legitimate income from their combined salaries during their 20-year rule amounted to only P2.3 million ($304,372 at the time).
The amount was manifestly disproportionate to the Marcos coupleโs $356 million discovered after the EDSA revolt in 1986 deposited in Credit Suisse in Zurich, Switzerland. The accounts were opened in 1968 under dummy foundations and entities, with Ferdinand and Imelda using the names William Saunders and Jane Ryan.
In November 2018, Imeldific was convicted by the Sandiganbayan of seven counts of graft in relation to the Swiss deposits. She was sentenced to a combined prison term of up to 77 years, but the anti-graft court allowed her to post P300,000 bail.
This year, in a decision dated June 10, 2026, but made public only in September, the First Division of the Supreme Court reversed the conviction and cleared Imeldific. Among the reasons cited was that the Swiss bank documents โ the same ones used in the 2003 SC ruling โ were not properly authenticated and therefore lacked probative value, and the prosecution witnesses lacked personal knowledge of the documentsโ contents. tinyurl.com/5n8dttve

Alam mo ba na mahigit P4.3 bilyon ang insertions sa 2027 budget para lang sa distrito ni presidential son Sandro Marcos? Tapos 70% ng total infra allocations ay para lang sa multipurpose buildings at flood control/drainage projects!!!
Kung di ka pa galit...bakit??

The insertions ranked by congress persons.
We will not stop naming and shaming all of you.

NCR alone has at least 10 golf courses.
We can start by nationalizing those courses, converting it to parks then open it up to the public.

Three overpriced bridges
EYES WIDE OPEN - Iris Gonzales (@eyesgonzales)
Do you know how many classrooms can be built with a budget of P54 million?
The amount can fund the construction of more than 60 classrooms if we use the estimate of non-government organizations of roughly P860,000 per classroom.
Imagine how many more students our public schools can accommodate if we build those 60 additional classrooms.
But instead, this P54 million is the cost of retrofitting three short bridges in Bulacan, which really have no visible signs of damage or need for retrofitting. tinyurl.com/bv2n6hh3

Sa pagdinig ng Senate Finance Subcommittee G sa panukalang 2027 budget ng Department of Agriculture (DA), ipinaliwanag ni Agriculture Secretary Francisco "Kiko" Tiu Laurel Jr. ang papel niya sa pagpigil sa halos โฑ400 milyong halaga ng smuggled rice na naharang sa Davao City.
Handa rin si Laurel na sumailalim sa imbestigasyon, kasama ang Planters Products Inc. (PPI), na nakalistang consignee ng kargamento sa mga dokumentong tinalakay sa pagdinig.
Mahalagang marinig ang panig ng PPI at mailantad ang buong katotohanan upang matukoy kung sino ang dapat managot kung may mapatunayang iregularidad.
