Manila Bulletin
|October 29, 2025

Lacson said the Senate plans to keep in the budget the unprogrammed appropriations for foreign-assisted projects only.
“The House (of Representatives) left some ®42 billion in the unprogrammed appropriations for ayuda, and we will remove it,” Lacson said in Filipino in an interview on One News.
“We expect a long discussion in the bicameral conference committee but we senators agreed that ayuda funds cannot be in the unprogrammed appropriations. They should be in the regular budget,” he said.
