00:00 The Department of Budget and Management clarified that the unprogrammed funds are not included in the 2024 national budget as appropriation source.
00:14 What does this mean in the center of the news of Daniel Manalastas?
00:18 The Department of Budget and Management clarified the issue of unprogrammed funds for the 2024 national budget.
00:27 The clarification of this is a stand-by appropriation outside of the approved government fiscal program.
00:33 It is not included in the 2024 national budget as appropriation source because it is a stand-by appropriation,
00:40 which is also a proposed legislation authorized by the Congress.
00:44 It is also not automatic to allocate unprogrammed funds and it can only be released or can be used if it can meet the conditions.
00:52 The DBM issued a statement in the middle of the Senate Minority Leader's plan to appeal to the Supreme Court to talk about the budget,
01:01 particularly the unprogrammed funds.
01:03 I'm talking to a member of the House of Representatives who wants to join me in filing this case but it's not Congressman Lagman.
01:14 When I read the report about his opinion, I said we have a possible additional ally in the House.
01:22 But I'm already talking to a member of the House and he also agrees with my position.
01:28 As a matter of fact, we're almost done with our outline.
01:33 But the DBM said that whatever petition, they will work based on the approved fiscal program.
01:40 According to Albay, Rep. Joey Salceda, the DBM told him to clarify that unprogrammed appropriations are not part of the fiscal program.
01:49 According to Salceda, he only mentioned the program appropriations in the clause of Article 6, Section 25 of the 1987 Constitution
01:58 or the prohibition of adding funds recommended by the President.
