The Supreme Court ruling declaring certain provisions of the 2024 and 2025 national budgets unconstitutional comes at an opportune time, as the Senate scrutinizes the House version of the 2027 budget bill, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said.
Lacson said the High Court’s ruling underscored the constitutional limits on Congress’ power to alter the National Expenditure Program (NEP).

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Monday commended Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. for firmly defending the Philippines’ position on the West Philippine Sea (WPS), while Teodoro acknowledged Lacson’s role as one of his advisers during his Bar review.

The Department of National Defense (DND) needs to develop a “less costly but effective” program to address external threats as the Philippines faces a glaring disparity in defense spending with regional peers like China, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Monday.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Saturday questioned the motive behind the vote of three minority senator-members of the Senate Electoral Tribunal (SET) in favor of a motion for reconsideration seeking to unseat Sen. Erwin Tulfo.
