MANILA, Philippines — The bicameral conference committee of the Senate and House of Representatives will start meeting today to reconcile conflicting provisions of the proposed P5.024-trillion General Appropriations Bill (GAB) for 2022 and come up with a final version of the spending program for President Duterte’s signature before the end of the year.

 

Sen. Sonny Angara, chairman of the committee on finance, will lead the Senate delegation while ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Eric Go Yap, chairman of the House appropriations committee, will head the contingent from the lower chamber.

 

The Senate passed last week its version of the GAB taken from the counterpart measure approved by the House in October with well over P100 billion in amendments, mostly realignments to the health sector.
