'Confident' House to comply with SC request for national budget copies
House leaders are confident that the Supreme Court will uphold the 2025 budget, which they claim is above board and free from irregularities, despite accusations of "blank spaces" or a "blank check."
The Supreme Court requested copies of the enrolled bills for the 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA) and the current year's budget as part of its review process.
A preliminary conference for the case is scheduled for February 28, with oral arguments to follow on April 1 in Baguio City.
House Assistant Majority Leaders Jude Acidre and Jil Bongalon expressed their belief that the SC's review will validate the integrity of the budget enactment process.
