The administration’s planned ₱5.767-trillion budget for next year may force the government to incur more debts, with an estimate of ₱4 billion per day, House Deputy Speaker Ralph Recto said.

“To fully grasp the dimensions of the budget, you have to compute it on a daily basis, to fully appreciate the enormity of both spending and borrowings,” Recto said in a statement on Sunday.

This means that the remaining ₱4 billion would be funded from borrowings “every 24 hours,” Recto said. [Translation: If it is based on actual disbursements, ₱3.7 billion of daily expenditures needs to be filled up.] “Programs that dazzle are highlighted while muting the cost, a great portion of which are paid by debts left to the next generation to pay,” he added.
