THE HOUSE of Representatives on Monday passed on final reading the proposed P6.793-trillion national budget for 2026, concluding 62 days of deliberations marked by heightened scrutiny over a widening corruption scandal involving flood control projects.
Majority or 287 congressmen approved the revised budget bill that rechanneled the bulk of funding from numerous flood control projects under the Public Works department to priority sectors such as education, in a move aimed at strengthening human capital development.
