Agencies' budget proposals reach P11 trillion for 2026
Business World Philippines
|May 20, 2025
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES' budget proposals for the 2026 national budget have surged to P11 trillion, up from the P9.2 trillion in funding requests made for the 2025 budget, according to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
"It is not finished yet and only three bureaus were finalized. But based on the submissions, because there are a lot of them, there’s a 200-300% increase in agency submissions. So, they’re looking at approximately P11 trillion," DBM Undersecretary Goddes Hope O. Libiran told reporters on the sidelines of the 2025 Open Government Week on Monday.
This is 20% higher than the P9.2 trillion in funding requests from government agencies last year.
"There are a lot of agencies that want to do a lot and maybe, like, for example, the Armed Forces of the Philippines raised their request for a modernization program," she added.
The DBM's estimate also accounted for both Tier 1 and Tier 2 proposals.
