House ready for resumption of budget bicam meeting on Tuesday, says Suansing
House appropriations panel chairperson Mikaela Suansing announced the House contingent is ready for the resumption of the bicameral conference committee meeting on Tuesday afternoon concerning the proposed P6.7-trillion budget for 2026.
The bicameral meeting was previously postponed due to a deadlock over the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) budget, specifically the Senate's reversal of P45 billion in cuts.
Suansing emphasized the House's readiness to continue discussions and assured that the lower chamber is committed to finishing the budget as early as possible to avoid delays.
The House contingent will be at the PICC plenary hall by 4 PM on Tuesday.
She stated that the House wants to avoid a reenacted budget and is committed to their constitutional duty to pass the budget for the Filipino people.
