Hi, @DZMMTeleRadyo Please correct this headline. This is misleading. I did not say more than Php80B was for Suansing’s district alone. Php83.7B worth of multipurpose buildings (MPBs) is the figure for MPB’s NATIONWIDE and not just in the DEO that covers Suansing’s district.

Palace: 2027 budget to undergo scrutiny, PBBM listening to watchdogs MANILA – Malacañang on Tuesday assured the public that the proposed PHP7.2 trillion national budget for 2027 would undergo further scrutiny, saying President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is listening to budget watchdogs and will not allow “red flags” to pass without proper documentation and clear project descriptions. Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the President’s position remains that public funds must be protected from abuse and directed toward the needs of the Filipino people. “Ang utos ng Pangulo, ang pondo ng bayan ay hindi dapat inaabuso. Ang pondo ng bayan ay dapat sa taumbayan, hindi sa bulsa ng ninuman (The President’s directive is that public funds must not be abused. Public funds should go to the people, not into anyone’s pockets),” Castro said in a Palace briefing. She said Marcos would not approve budget amendments lacking sufficient documentation, proper descriptions, and identifiable project outcomes. Civil society groups and budget watchdogs recently raised concerns over alleged insertions in the House of Representatives’ version of the 2027 General Appropriations Bill (GAB). The House approved the PHP7.2 trillion spending measure on third and final reading on Oct. 12. People’s Budget Coalition co-convenor Kenneth Isaiah Abante earlier flagged nearly 7,000 infrastructure projects worth PHP190 billion allegedly added by House lawmakers, saying many lacked supporting documents and clear justifications. The group also raised concerns over additional allocations for multipurpose buildings, access roads, bridges, and other public works projects. Castro said the budget has yet to complete the legislative process, including Senate deliberations and the bicameral conference committee, before undergoing review by the President and his economic team. “Ang budget ay hindi pa po tapos. Bubusisiin iyan katulad ng pangako ng Senado. Dadaan pa po iyan sa bicam conference at dadaan pa po iyan sa pagsusuri ng economic team ng Pangulo bago ito pirmahan (The budget is not yet finished. It will be scrutinized as the Senate has promised. It will still go through the bicameral conference and review by the President’s economic team before he signs it),” she said. The Palace official also urged budget watchdogs to submit documents and specific findings on alleged red flags so these could be brought to the President’s attention. “Ang Pangulo ay nakikinig (The President is listening),” Castro said.

When the angry nerds speak, the country pays attention. Our collective voice is getting louder and we dare the untouchables to back off. The budget insertions might be legal but they’re completely illogical so it’s the duty of who made those amendments to explain it; if not, the people will not allow even a single centavo to be spent. Pera natin yan at hiram lang ang kanilang kapangyarihan. Sila ang mag adjust sa gusto ng taumbayan! PUNONG PUNO NA KAMI 😡

Who the heck will believe this?😂

The insertions ranked by congress persons. We will not stop naming and shaming all of you. —— Share away, fellow taxpayers! Poster by: Jason Torres of BetterGovPh and People’s Budget Coalition
