MANILA, Philippines — The House of Representatives committee on appropriations’ budget briefing on the proposed budget of the Office of the President (OP) in 2027 was terminated in less than an hour as part of parliamentary courtesy despite objections from some minority lawmakers. Executive Secretary Ralph Recto presented the OP’s proposed budget of P10,156,000,000, which some minority lawmakers said was insufficient for a thorough examination of the budget and for ensuring accountability to taxpayers.
