Solons clash as House tackles budget
Lawmakers are preparing to debate the P6.793-trillion national budget for 2026 amid ongoing scrutiny of the current year's spending program.
During a House flood control hearing, a motion was made to invite former Senator Grace Poe and Ako Bicol Representative Zaldy Co to clarify alleged irregularities in the 2025 budget.
Davao City Representative Isidro Ungab reiterated his claim that the P6.326-trillion 2025 budget is "the most corrupt budget" ever passed.
Ungab challenged the previous committee members to dispute his statement, suggesting their silence implies an inability to do so.
The controversy surrounding the 2025 budget casts a shadow over the administration's request for an even larger P6.793-trillion budget for 2026.
