The Philippine Star
|September 15, 2024
Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada believes the proposed budget of the Office of the Vice President (OVP) should be restored after it was slashed by more than half by the House of Representatives.
In a dwIZ interview yesterday, Estrada said the Senate would uphold the "timehonored tradition" of respecting the President and Vice President's budget by assuring its speedy approval.
The House appropriations committee slashed the OVP's proposed P2.037 billion to P733.2 million by realigning some of Duterte's key programs to other relevant agencies.
