The Marcos administration's P7.2-trillion national budget for 2027 has undergone rigorous scrutiny, with officials insisting it is no 'wish list,' according to Philstar Biz.
The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) is set to submit the spending plan to Congress before Aug. 14, stressing that the budget reflects a careful review of agency proposals and is not merely a wish list.
The DBM's remarks come amid preparations for the annual budget season, where lawmakers will scrutinize the proposed expenditures in the coming months before final approval.
