MANILA (ANN): The House of Representatives ratified on Wednesday afternoon (Dec 11) the proposed 4.1 trillion-peso national budget for 2020, even as it is still hounded by allegations of pork barrel and insertions.

The chamber dominated by pro-administration lawmakers swiftly gave its nod to next year’s General Appropriations Bill few hours after it was adopted by the bicameral conference committee which was tasked to reconcile versions of the Senate and the House. The voting on House Bill No. 4228 was via viva voce or a vote of ayes and nays.

“Pork is here to stay. I hope the President will again exercise his political will in vetoing line items that will obviously waste people’s tax money, ” Lacson said in a statement as he snubbed the bicam meeting. Romualdez said the new version of the GAB remains in line with President Rodrigo Duterte’s vision of a “safe and comfortable life for Filipinos, ” as well as the administration’s ambitious “Build, Build, Build” massive infrastructure drive.
