Approval of 2026 budget before year-end still top Senate priority
The Senate, through its finance committee chairman Sherwin Gatchalian, affirms that the approval of the proposed P6.793-trillion budget for 2026 is a top priority and aims to have it signed before the year ends.
Despite reports of House leaders recommending the budget's return to the Department of Budget and Management for review due to alleged erroneous entries, the Senate will proceed with its scheduled budget deliberations to prevent delays.
Gatchalian expressed the Senate's commitment to enacting a "proper and trustworthy national budget" to support continuous economic development.
The House of Representatives, however, continued its committee on appropriations deliberations on the proposed budget on Thursday.
