MANILA, Philippines — Without any question or criticism, it took all of seven minutes for the House appropriations panel to approve the proposed P9.03 billion budget for the Office of the President in 2023. 

 

“By tradition, we are sending parliamentary courtesy to a co-equal branch in government. I move to terminate the budget briefing of the Office of the President,” House Majority Leader and Rep. Manuel Dalipe (Zamboanga 2nd District) said as he motioned to terminate deliberations on the budget.

 

Dalipe moved to terminate talks immediately after Rep. Elizaldy Co (Ako Bicol Party-list), who chairs the committee, delivered a short speech welcoming officials and congressmen to the hearing.
