Lacson wants full budget transparency
Senator Panfilo Lacson is pushing for the online publication of individual budget amendment proposals submitted by lawmakers to the national budget.
This proposal aims to make proponents accountable for substandard or ghost projects.
Lacson stated that without identifying amendment proponents, Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 4 will not achieve its purpose of ensuring transparency in the deliberations for the 2026 budget.
He emphasized that 'the most genuine transparency is full transparency' and that proponents of amendments, also known as insertions, must be made public.
Senate Minority Leader Vicente Sotto III expressed full support for Concurrent Joint Resolution No. 4, filed by Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, which seeks to strengthen transparency in the national budget process.
