Former President RRD and Cong. Sid Ungab, former head of Appropiations Committee at Congress before Elizalde Co, took note that the bicam conference report had blanks, there is no published 2025 budget yet. That the signed bicam report as basis of 2025 GAA with blanks (also signed) violate the constitution (since only Congress can approve budget and no such bodies as bicam. Many changes, deletion and insertion took place in bicam reports. Also, it is provided that Congress can not increase budget that is higher provided in NEP. Yet the OP budget ballooned.
Palace PBBM says the allegation are fake news.
Clearly some negligence violation of the constitution happened in the 2025 budget. Dep Ed got lower budget than DPWH. (The constitution provides for higher budget of Dep Ed. Someone did not read or has not memorized the 1987 constituion.
Vic Rodriguez clarified that the evidentiary evidence had blanks. The Palace maybe inserted in the final version. But the bicam report bore the smoking gun.
Is this not too much negligence, garapalan, and gross violation of constitution and must be stopped?
