DBM hikes OVP's 2026 proposed budget to ₱903 М
Manila Bulletin
|July 10 2025
The Office of the Vice President (OVP) may receive P903 million as budget for the next fiscal year after the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) raised its original proposal, OVP spokesperson Ruth Castelo said on Wednesday, July 9.
The OVP had originally proposed a P733-million budget for 2026, similar to its 2025 allocation that was approved by Congress. But DBM raised this to some P803.6 million.
Castelo explained that additional budget for programs also meant they would need more personnel, which led to them requesting for another P100 million.
"And then nung magdagdag sila ng (When they added) P60-something million, we requested for additional personnel services, siyempre may cost yung ang na-mention ko kanina na additional employees para mas ma-fulfill iyong functions (of course, there’s additional cost to what I mentioned earlier about additional employees to fulfill the functions) and other IT equipment that are needed for the OVP," she added.
Approval of the OVP budget, as is with other government agencies, is subject to the discretion of the Congress.
