Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko” Moreno Domagoso on Monday signed the capital city’s P25-billion budget for 2026, which focuses on healthcare, housing, education, and job creation programs.
“For 2026, it’s going to focus on Minimum Basic Needs—healthcare, housing, education, and job creation. A large portion of it is allocated for social services,” Domagoso said.
The budget breakdown includes P6.79 billion for personnel services, P10.92 billion for maintenance and other operating expenses, P107 million for capital outlay, P2.47 billion for budgetary requirements, and P4.68 billion for statutory and contractual obligations.
The Manila Health Department and the city’s seven hospitals will receive P2.39 billion, the biggest share, to sustain operations and improve medical services. The city will also continue social programs for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, solo parents, and students.
