00:00President Bongbong Marcos has already signed the General Appropriations Act or the 2025 National Budget.
00:10And just like what Malacanang said, the President has already vetoed items.
00:15The signed budget is 6.326 trillion pesos.
00:20That is lower than the 26 billion pesos compared to the 6.352 trillion pesos approved by the Congress.
00:28According to the President, he has vetoed more than 194 billion pesos of allocation
00:34to non-priority programs of the government
00:37such as some projects of the Department of Public Works and Highways
00:41and some unprogrammed appropriations or programs that have not yet been approved by the fund.
00:51The assistance will continue in the Kaposangkita Program or ACAP
00:54but the DSWD, DOLE, and NEDA must provide guidelines
00:59before the funds are issued so that there is no misuse of the funds.
