Lacson pointed to a new concern raised by Sen. Francis Pangilinan involving farm-to-market road (FMR) projects, saying billions of pesos’ worth of items were “not properly identified,” with some revised from what the Senate approved on third reading.
Both houses had approved P33 billion for the Department of Agriculture’s FMR projects, which was more than double the P16 billion President Marcos had asked for.
