Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson is pushing for a higher 2027 budget and expanded fiscal autonomy for the Office of the Ombudsman similar to the Judiciary Fiscal Autonomy Act (RA 12233), while proposing that a portion of funds restituted to the national government in corruption cases including the flood control scandal be earmarked to augment the agency’s budget.
