President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. formally received on Tuesday an official copy of the government’s proposed P6.793-billion National Expenditure Program (NEP) for fiscal year 2026.
Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah Pangandaman and other officials presented the 2026 NEP to President Marcos at his office in Malacañang.
The document contains the detailed priority programs of the government anchored on the theme “Agenda for Prosperity: Nurturing Future-Ready Generations to Achieve the Full Potential of the Nation.”
The DBM submitted the 2026 NEP to Malacañang in time for its scheduled transmission to legislators later this week.
President Marcos earlier mentioned that he aims to implement a more transparent national budget next year, learning from the many issues that arose from the 2025 spending plan.
