Sotto vows to block questionable budget changes

Senate President Pro Tempore Vicente Sotto III on Wednesday vowed to block questionable changes to the proposed 2027 national budget following a Supreme Court ruling declaring key provisions of the 2024 and 2025 budgets unconstitutional. Sotto said the Senate would maintain the transparency measures adopted in reviewing the 2026 budget. He warned that any questionable adjustments would not be allowed.
