Palace warns Congress on 2026 national budget
The Freeman
|August 02, 2025
Malacañang doubled down on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s warning to Congress about making big changes in the 2026 national budget, telling lawmakers not to abuse their constitutional mandate.
-
In Marcos' 2025 State of the Nation Address (SONA), the president issued a rare, scathing warning to lawmakers: stick to the executive branch's proposed budget or risk forcing the government to operate on a reenacted budget.
While the 2025 budget approved by Congress indeed raised several legal concerns, Senate President Francis Escudero said the president cannot expect a budget with no changes from the National Expenditure Program (NEP), which is the official term for the administration's proposed budget.
The power of the purse belonged to Congress, Escudero reiterated.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the NEP has been extensively studied and analyzed, and once it has been formed, this should be followed.
