00:00Senator Grace Poe, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee,

00:04is in support of the process of passing the 2025 National Budget.

00:11Despite the BICAM report shown by some lawmakers,

00:16where some pages are blank,

00:18Joseph Moro was able to point it out.

00:23As chairman of the Senate Finance Committee,

00:25Senator Grace Poe is in support of the process of passing the 2025 National Budget.

00:31Poe is in support of the fact that there is no miracle

00:34and there is no mistake in passing the 2025 National Budget.

00:38Despite the statements of some lawmakers,

00:40including Sen. Davao City 3rd District Rep. Isidro Ungab,

00:44Kabataan Party List Rep. Raul Manuel,

00:46and Sen. Aimee Marcos,

00:48who ratified the BICAM report,

00:51there are blank pages.

00:53But in terms of stages, from BICAM report,

00:56that is blank,

00:57and then the enrolled bill with figures,

01:01who did that?

01:02You know, in the enrolled bill,

01:05that is the most important thing in BICAM.

01:08There are no blank pages there,

01:09and all the totals have already been verified.

01:12And in fact, when it was enrolled,

01:15there were no blank pages.

01:16So, what Senator Cheese said yesterday was correct,

01:19which should really be a reference.

01:21In fact, also the president

01:22has seen that there are no blank pages

01:25in our enrolled bill.

01:27Marikina Rep. Stella Kimbo is the vice chairperson

01:30of the House Appropriations Committee

01:32of the 2025 Budget and acting chairman now.

01:36Earlier, we tried to ask her about the issue.

01:39Between the BICAM and then the enrolled,

01:40at what point did the figures come in?

01:42I don't know.

01:44I don't know.

01:46Why don't you answer?

01:47Why don't you answer?

01:48If it's just a procedural thing for Congress.

01:51I already answered.

01:52So what should we do?

01:53Let's just wait.

01:55Everything has already been explained.

01:56Huh?

01:57Everything has already been explained.

01:58The CSP has already been explained.

02:01But the issue is the BICAM.

02:03There are copies of the BICAM report

02:05obtained by GMA Integrated News

02:06from Unga Batmanuel.

02:08We also obtained some from the unnamed source

02:10in the Senate.

02:11Although there are differences in the number

02:13and the position of the signatures,

02:14the blank pages are the same.

02:17The BICAM report was ratified by Congress

02:20to be the basis of the enrolled bill

02:22and to be signed by the President

02:23as the General Appropriations Act

02:25or 2025 National Budget.

02:27But if we compare it to a law

02:29in the General Appropriations Act,

02:30the blank pages in the BICAM report

02:32were filled with a total amount

02:34that will not decrease to P138.36 billion pesos.

02:38The largest budget for the National

02:40Irrigation Authority or NIA

02:41is the Agriculture and Fisheries

02:43Modernization Program.

02:45These are blank pages in the BICAM report,

02:46but it was filled with P56.4 billion pesos.

02:50The Kumikos of Mambabatas said

02:52that the blank pages were filled

02:53in the enrolled bill

02:54after they ratified the BICAM report.

02:57So they asked who did this.

02:59From BICAM, who drafted it?

03:01Senate or Congress for the enrolled bill?

03:04Both. There's a technical working group

03:06that actually consolidates both the reports

03:11of the House and the Senate.

03:13When we have completed the BICAM report

03:16and we submitted it as an enrolled bill,

03:18it was complete.

03:19Thank you. It's complete.

03:21Yesterday, Senate President Jesus Codero

03:23said that there is a provision

03:24in the Bicamal Conference Committee report

03:26that if there is a difference

03:27between the BICAM report and the enrolled bill,

03:29the enrolled bill will be the next.

03:31Several groups are now preparing

03:33to question the Supreme Court

03:34on the legality of the 2025 national budget.

03:37For GMA Integrated News,

03:39Joseph Morong,

03:40for Tutok 24 Horas.
