THE HOUSE of Representatives is looking to approve the proposed P6.352-trillion national budget for 2025 before Congress goes on a break in September, House Speaker and Leyte Rep. Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez said on Wednesday.
“Aside from our commitment in approving the few remaining LEDAC (Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council) priority measures agreed upon during the June 25 council hearing, the House will again work doubly hard to pass the proposed P6.352-trillion 2025 General Appropriations Bill before we go on break this end of September 2024,” Mr. Romualdez said in a statement.
The Development Budget Coordination Committee last week proposed a P6.352-trillion budget for 2025, a 10% increase from this year’s P5.768-trillion budget.
Budget Secretary Amenah F. Pangandaman last week said the proposed National Expenditure Program for 2025 will be submitted to the House on July 29, one week after Congress reopens on July 22.
