Puno apologizes to Poe, says ex-senator not part of 2025 budget bicam
House Deputy Speaker Ronaldo Puno has apologized to Senator Grace Poe for mistakenly linking her to the bicameral conference committee's final draft of the 2025 budget bill.
Puno admitted that Poe was not allowed to participate in the bicameral deliberations for the budget.
Despite the apology, Puno stated that the investigation into the changes between the House and Senate versions of the budget and the final version sent to the President should continue.
He also mentioned that the House Committee on Appropriations now has a new, highly competent chairperson, Mikaela Suansing, replacing Elizaldy Co.
