Mayors request budget copies from House
The Philippine Star
|October 04, 2025
The Mayors for Good Governance (M4GG) has requested copies of the National Expenditure Program and General Appropriations Act for fiscal years 2023 to 2025 from the House of Representatives, as well as line items involving infrastructure projects with details of their proponents.
In a letter addressed to Speaker Faustino Dy III, the group of nearly 200 local chief executives advocating for clean governance said the request was done to make records involving taxpayers' money more accessible to the public.
"We make this request in the spirit of transparency in the use of public funds and to ensure that allocations reflect the true needs of communities," M4GG stated in its letter sent on Thursday night.
