Suansing denies offering P150-M incentives for 2026 budget votesRep. Mikaela Suansing (Nueva Ejica) speaks upon signing the bicameral conference committee report on the 2026 General Appropriations Bill, or the proposed national budget on Sunday, Dec. 28, 2025. He had claimed a staff member from Suansing's office allegedly offered him P151 million in budget allocations as informal "incentives" before the House's final reading of the 2026 budget in October. The House approved the 2026 budget on final reading on October 13. The House is set to reconvene briefly today to ratify the bicameral conference committee report on the P6.793-trillion budget for 2026. The bicameral conference committee signed the report Sunday, December 28, after reconciling disagreements between the House and Senate versions of the budget.
