00:07because the version of the budget approved by the Congress is still being discussed.
00:12According to an expert, the country's economy will have a negative effect if the 2025 budget is not approved this year.
00:21Sandra Aguinaldo reported.

00:34to see what is the priority and not in the budget that was approved in the BICAM.

00:45Public Works Secretary Manuel Bonoon, NEDA Secretary Arsenio Balisacan, and Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamid.
00:53This is in line with the approved budget as the biggest allocation to the Department of Public Works and Highways
01:01instead of the Education Sector that violated the Constitution.

01:12the return of the controversial aid to the Kapos Angkita Program or ACAP,
01:17and the funding of the Congress.
01:19Some experts in governance and economy are worried that if it will not be resolved,
01:24the re-enacted budget in 2025 may be possible.
01:27This is the implementation of the budget used in the past fiscal year until the new budget is not passed.
01:34If the budget is re-enacted, the new projects that were not re-enacted will not be funded.
01:41Economist Emanuel Leyco said that this is not good for the economy.
01:46It is not right to say that the previous budget should be re-enacted because the economic environment will change.
01:55We need a budget that meets the expected changes in the economy, changes in our trade relations next year.

02:16There was a partial re-enacted budget in 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009, and 2019.
02:25But Malacanang is confident that the 2025 national budget will be signed before the end of the year.
02:32Our target is that the President will issue a statement before the end of the year
02:39and the concerned Cabinet members will have a full briefing on the budget that will be added by the President.
02:45According to Press Secretary Cesar Chavez, the re-enacted budget was not discussed in the President's meetings.
02:53The re-enacted budget was not discussed in the President's series of meetings
02:59because the President is confident that there will be a budget that will be added before the end of the year.
03:05Whatever the budget of 2025, it should be in line with the eight-point socioeconomic agenda of the President.
03:15The Palace has not given any other details about the items in the budget that the President could veto.
