00:00Congress's BICAM-approved 2026 general appropriations bill has been hailed as truly transparent and insertion-free by both the Senate and House.
00:09So the president is taking no chances by having the BICAM version thoroughly vetted by his review team
00:15to ensure all the I's and T's are dotted and crossed and jibed with a budget that truly aligns with this working agenda and public welfare.
00:22Our Kenneth Paciente on Congress's working calendars adjusted to next Monday for the formal ratification of the 2026 nation budget before the new year.
00:35To ensure a clean and well-organized budget for the coming year,
00:39President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is mobilizing a team that will conduct a thorough review of the proposed 2026 national budget.
00:46According to Presidential Communications Office Secretary Dave Gomez,
00:49The president will continue working even during the holidays to closely monitor the finalization of the national budget.
00:56In fact, the president has already directed the preparation of the concerned individuals,
01:00who will immediately review all amounts agreed-upon conforms with the corresponding provisions in the Bicameral Conference Committee,
01:07as well as the changes made to the originally submitted National Expenditure Program or NEP.

01:17and will achieve societal goals that all Filipinos can fill in line with the president's statements in his last State of the Nation address.
01:25However, the PCO has not yet disclosed the composition of the group to conduct the review.
01:30The palace earlier said the Department of Budget and Management will work with the president in examining the proposed budget.
01:35Kung may kinakailangan pong tawagin ang Pangulo na mga cabinet secretaries para po mas malinaw,
01:45ipapatawag po sino man po ang kinakailangan na namumuno sa isang related agencies.
01:50The ratification and transmittal of the enrolled version of the General Appropriations Bill is expected on December 29.

02:10and that it aligns with the needs of the Filipino people.

02:20Kung may dapat idito, ididito po ng Pangulo.
02:22The Senate session has also been extended until December 29, 2025
02:26to provide sufficient time for the ratification of the proposed 2026 national budget.

02:36and ensure it faithfully reflects the agreements reached by the Senate and the House of Representatives
02:41during their bicameral deliberations.
02:44To recall, the president described having a good budget for the coming year as his Christmas wish.
