00:34calls the 2025 General Appropriations Act the most corrupt budget.
00:38Mr. Chairman, August 4 ako nagsabi, 2025 budget is the most corrupt budget.

01:09But Manila 6th District representative Bienvenido Abante objected.
01:13I would like to know the reason why because I would like to find out if they would, if we're going to invite them here, are they resource speakers or they are members of the House of Sanity?
