Public Works and Highways Secretary Vince Dizon confirmed the DPWH will submit its revised 2026 budget to the House of Representatives by Monday, September 15, 2025.
Dizon stated that they will strive to submit a "clean" budget, with many items being removed as per the President's directive.
The extension was requested to allow for a thorough review and to address supposed erroneous entries, particularly in flood control projects.
DBM Secretary Amenah Pangandaman assisted in the review process of the DPWH's proposed budget.
The House appropriations committee had previously approved the DPWH's request for a three-day extension, moving the deadline from September 12 to September 15.
Earlier, the House leadership considered returning the proposed P6.7-trillion national budget for 2026 to the DBM due to erroneous entries.
