00:00Another congressman showed in the GMA Integrated News a copy of the BICAM report of the 2025 national budget that has blanks.
00:12He said that the document was not properly rectified because of the lack of time.
00:19But the senators who signed it denied that there are blanks in their budget.
00:26Jonathan Anda was the one who pointed it out.
00:32The GMA Integrated News was able to get a copy of the BICAM report of the 2025 national budget from Congressman Raul Manuel of Kabataan Partylist.
00:41He said that this is an insult to the blanks who signed the document issued by Congressman Isidro Ungab and former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:49Manuel said that this BICAM report that has blanks was also rectified by the Congress.
00:55He said that all congressmen were given a copy of the BICAM report last December before it was sent to the plenary to be ratified.
01:03But the problem is that the soft copy was emailed less than a week before the ratification.
01:09While the printed copy was given less than an hour before it was sent to the plenary.
01:15That's why it was not properly rectified.
01:18It took a lot of time for it to be rectified.
01:24There's an end to it.
01:25To be honest, we didn't see the blanks right away because we're not used to having those.
01:32I just encountered that the budget was ratified, but there are still blanks.
01:38In the examination of the GMA Integrated News, this page, for example, of the document held by Ungab,
01:43the blanks in the document held by Manuel are the same.
01:46But it turns out that there are more signed documents from Manuel and some of them are different.
01:54The GMA Integrated News is trying to get an official copy of the BICAM report from the camera.
02:00In the process of passing the budget, after the BICAM report is ratified,
02:04this will be the basis of the General Appropriations Bill or GAB that will be submitted to the President.
02:09It's time for the President to sign this so that it can be passed.
02:12This is what is called GAA or General Appropriations Act.
02:16Manuel's question is...
02:17In the BICAM report that was ratified by the camera,
02:22the blanks after ratification and before signing,
02:27who filled in the blanks?
02:29There should be an answer to that.
02:31As long as the BICAM and the President can answer.
02:37Even the President's sister, Senator Aimee Marcos,
02:41said in December that she will not sign the BICAM report because it is a blank paper.
02:47I assure the people that I will never sign any paper until the budget of 2025
02:55or in that BICAM report that will help reduce money in legitimate projects.
03:02How can I sign a blank paper?
03:05The media tried to get a new comment from Senator Aimee but it ran away.
03:10Senator Wynne Gatchalian and Joel Villanueva said that the member of BICAM
03:15and the one who signed the BICAM report did not have a blank in the mentioned document.
03:19In my team, we did not see a blank.
03:22Because it should be balanced, that's what we always look at.
03:25So I have a whole team that looks at the budget before signing it.
03:30I did not see a blank.
03:32I did not see a blank whatsoever.
03:34But I did not close the rumors that we heard that there are some that do not have an item.
03:46Senate President Chiza Escudero and Senate Finance Committee Chair Grace Poe did not comment.
03:52In the House of Representatives, Speaker Martin Romualdez and former House Appropriations Committee Chair Zaldico did not comment.
03:58First, President Marcos said that Duterte is lying because there is no blank in his General Appropriations Act.
04:06For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andalan Agatutok, 24 Hours.
