The House of Representatives received the proposed P6.352 trillion National Expenditure Program (NEP) for 2025, which prioritizes job creation, quality education, expanded health care, and social protection.
House Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez stated that the budget aims to uplift the standard of living for every Filipino.
The NEP is 10.1 percent higher than the 2024 General Appropriations Act (GAA), which was valued at P5.768 trillion.
The House intends to pour funds into creating more employment opportunities and ensuring access to quality education.
Support for Universal Health Care in the country will be expanded.
Social protection programs like the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) and Ayuda Para sa Kapos ang Kita (AKAP) will be adequately funded.
Romualdez emphasized that the mission is clear: to provide jobs, education, and healthcare to each Filipino family.
The House aims to finish deliberations on the spending measure before the first recess in October.
