Share TweetBy Vanne Elaine TerrazolaDespite saying that they will put their “best effort,” senators remain uncertain about the approval of the proposed 2019 national budget before they go on a break on December 15. The Senate has decided to compress their deliberation of the P3.757-trillion proposed 2019 budget within two weeks after the Palace asked for an earlier passage of the priority measure to avoid a reenacted 2018 budget. For me, if we could extend our deliberations next year, we should not sacrifice the quality [of the budget] and issues on the budget. We need time to look into the 2019 budget properly,” he said in Filipino.
