A HOUSE of Representatives committee on Monday moved to channel billions worth of flood control funds to education and health as they began revising the proposed P6.793-trillion national budget for 2026.
The House sub-committee on Budget Amendments Review redirected P255 billion in flood control funding originally allocated for the Public Works department next year towards the Health and Education departments, in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.’s call to strengthen human capital development.
