2026 NEP shows double funding
Marikina Congressman Marcelino Teodoro has flagged potential duplicate funding within the 2026 National Expenditure Program (NEP), expressing concern that funds are being allocated for projects already completed.
Teodoro cited the example of a completed slope protection project along Balantay Creek in Marikina City, which he noted was finished in 2023 but appears to have funding allocated again in the 2026 NEP.
He also questioned the allocation of repair funds for Malaya Street in Barangay Malanday, stating that the street is currently in good condition.
These concerns were raised amidst President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s warning against signing a national budget that does not align with government priorities.
