Plenary hearings on budget on tap

The House of Representatives will begin next week its plenary discussions on the proposed P5.768-trillion 2024 national budget.

This came after the House appropriations committee chaired by Ako-Bicol Rep. Elizaldy Co concluded what he described as comprehensive budget briefings on the measure.

Co commended the “exhaustive efforts” of his colleagues in the House appropriations committee, as well as fellow legislators for their diligent scrutiny of the proposed budget.

“We have taken significant strides towards finalizing the 2024 budget, which promises to be a landmark budget focused on national growth and the welfare of the Filipino people,” said Co.
