Senate plenary debates on P1.4-trillion 2020 national budget start Monday 1 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Hannah TorregozaThe Senate will officially begin plenary debates on the proposed P4.1-trillion national budget for 2020 this week, starting on Monday, November 11. Angara is scheduled to sponsor the proposed 2020 national spending plan on November 11. The senator reiterated it was necessary to pass the 2020 national budget on time to prevent a reenacted budget like earlier this year due to the delay in the approval of the 2019 General Appropriations Act (GAA). The delay in the passage of the national budget also affected the construction and repairs of thousands of classrooms, as were the tuition fees of thousands of government scholars nationwide.
