00:00The economic manager assured President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. that the 2025 national budget is focused on improving the lives of Filipinos.

00:10Joshua Garcia of PTV in Balitang Pambansang.

00:15At the same time, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. passed a 6 trillion Pesos national budget for the next year.

00:22This is more than P134 billion Pesos worth of projects.

00:26This is considered as an online item because it is not in line with the priorities of the government.

00:32The Department of Budget and Management also assessed it.

00:35In its press briefing, the DBM said that the education sector remains a top priority,

00:42followed by infrastructure and others.

00:451.053 trillion.

00:48Well, the DPWH is 1.034 trillion.

00:54So, education is a priority.

00:59DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoana explained that they are considering other projects

01:05that do not support the socio-economic agenda of the current administration and need to be studied.

01:11There are a lot of local projects that are not ready for implementation and it will take us some time anyway

01:18to make sure that we can implement them immediately.

01:22So, these are the things that we saw that I think we can postpone it for the time being.

01:27According to the DBM, projects such as aid to the Kaposangkita Program or ACAP will remain.

01:33But before the funds are issued, the DSWD, DOLE, and NEDA will need to conduct monitoring

01:39for the continued implementation of these projects.

01:43Meanwhile, the Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamina also expressed his support

01:48for the following budget for 2025 under the provisions of the Constitution.

01:53I want to tell all of you that there will not be an unconstitutional budget.

02:03This is the interplay between the Congress and the Executive Branch.

02:09To make sure that the legal monitoring will be strictly followed,

02:1312 special provisions were included in the Conditional Implementation,

02:17including some important programs of the DSWD, such as ACAP and PAYAPAT Masagalang Pamanyanan or Pamanang Program.

02:24Meanwhile, the economic aim of the government in 2025 is good.

02:28According to the NEDA, the 2025 National Budget will focus on improving the lives of Filipinos

02:33and strengthening the sector of agriculture, renewable energy, and digitalization in the country.

02:39Our fourth quarter was also good.

02:44We are confident that we will hit our growth target.

02:50Our growth target is between 6 to 7 percent.

02:54So far, from quarter 1 to quarter 3, our growth rate is at 5.8 percent.

03:01So we think that we will hit that target.

03:06According to the Finance Department, it also ensures that every cent added to the budget for 2025

03:14will go to the right programs and projects for the country.

03:17From PTV Manila, Joshua Garcia for Balitang Pambansa.
