The Senate is considering cutting some P2 billion from its proposed 2027 budget in the National Expenditure Program (NEP) to set an example of fiscal discipline for the House of Representatives, particularly in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down certain provisions of the 2024 and 2025 budgets as unconstitutional, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Friday.
Lacson, who chairs the Senate Committee on Accounts, said the proposed reduction would demonstrate the Senate’s commitment to budget reforms without affecting its operations.
