Palace: 2026 budget in final stages of review
The Philippine Star
|January 04, 2026
The Marcos administration is in the final stage of its review of this year’s Congress-ratified P6.793-trillion national budget, which is scheduled to be signed into law tomorrow.
President Marcos and his Cabinet were still studying the budget bill passed by Congress as of yesterday afternoon.
The review, described by Malacañang as “deliberate” and “thorough,” is expected to be completed this weekend, according to Budget Undersecretary Goddes Hope Libiran.
"Yes. The review is already on its final stages," Libiran told The STAR in a text message yesterday.
With the signing of the budget expected only by tomorrow as announced by Presidential Communications Secretary Dave Gomez, the government will operate under a reenacted 2025 outlay for nearly a week.
Executive Secretary Ralph Recto had said that a weeklong reenactment of the 2025 budget would not affect government operations.
