Manila Bulletin

January 7, 2026

Following the signing of the ®6.793-trillion 2026 national budget, the Marcos Jr. administration has jumpstarted preparations for the 2027 proposal—the last full-year spending under its watch— which includes more rigorous oversight of climate and flood control projects.

- By DERCO ROSAL

Acting Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Rolando U. Toledo issued the national budget call for fiscal year (FY) 2027 through the 101-page National Budget Memorandum No. 156 on Monday, Jan. 5, the same day President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. signed the 2026 General Appropriations Act (GAA) under Republic Act (RA) No. 12314.

The DBM targets to submit the 2027 budget bill, whose cap will be determined by the Cabinet-level, interagency Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC), to Congress on Aug. 14, 2026, or two weeks after the President’s next State of the Nation Address (SONA).
