Share TweetBy Hannah TorregozaReelectionist Senator Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito on Tuesday said the signing of the 2019 national budget into law would now pave the way for more funds to spend for Filipinos’ healthcare needs. “I welcome his decision to sign the budget and more importantly veto unconstitutional realignments,” he also said. Ejercito further commended Senate President Vicente Sotto III for working hard to fight for the Senate’s version of the budget bill and ensuring a “pork-free” appropriations law. “I commend our Senate President Vicente Sotto III, Senator Panfilo Lacson and all the members of the Senate for their steadfastness and tenacity in upholding the Constitution,” Ejercito said.
