INQToday: P1.054-B proposed budget for Marcos’ travel expenses in 2025 – DBM
The proposed budget for President Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. Marcos Jr.'s travel expenses in 2025 has been set at P1.054 billion.
This proposed allocation represents an 8 percent decrease, or P94 million less, compared to the P1.14 billion travel budget for 2024.
Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman stated that the reduction in budget likely reflects fewer local and foreign trips.
Despite the decreased travel, Pangandaman assured that the President would still be able to pursue his objective of engaging with other nations.
She emphasized the ongoing need for the President to travel to market the Philippines as an investment destination and to follow up on signed Memoranda of Understanding and Agreements.
These follow-up actions are crucial to ensure that investments gathered in previous years materialize.
