PBBM to sign 2025 nat’l budget before Christmas

MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. will sign the PHP6.352-trillion national budget for 2025 before Christmas Day, Malacañang said Thursday.

According to the Presidential Communications Office (PCO), the Congress-approved national budget bill will be transmitted to the Office of the President for review “following standard practice.”

This will give the President time to review the budget bill.

“The national budget for 2025 will be signed before Christmas Day,” the PCO announced.

The bicameral conference committee on Wednesday approved the final version of the budget bill. (PNA)
