The House of Representatives has ratified the Bicameral Conference Committee report on the proposed P5.268-trillion General Appropriations Bill or national budget for 2023.The House did so during plenary session Monday night, Dec. 5, a few hours after the Senate carried out the same action.
House Speaker and Leyte 1st district Rep. Martin Romualdez announced the bicam report as duly ratified after holding a simple voice vote with the congressmen. The affirmative votes won overwhelmingly. The motion for ratification was made by Majority Leader and Zamboanga City 2nd district Rep. Mannix Dalipe. It was also Dalipe who moved to adjourn the session right after the report was ratified.
The ratification of the bicam report by the two legislative chambers paves the way for the sending of the enrolled copy of the 2023 GAB to Malacañang for President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s signature. This means that the national budget is on track with getting enacted before Christmas, Dec. 25. That is, if President Marcos signs it before he leaves for Belgium next week.
