Share TweetBy Charissa Luci-AtienzaThe bicameral conference panel is flexing its muscles to ensure that the next year’s proposed P4.1-trillion national budget will be signed by President Duterte before December 21. Despite the inclement weather, Ungab and Angara met on Tuesday to reconcile the conflicting figures of next year’s national budget. “Both panels agree on the need to pass and approve the national budget before the Christmas break,” Ungab said.
