SEN. Ronald dela Rosa on Tuesday urged the Senate to restore the P10-billion cut that the House of Representatives made on the P50-billion budget for the Revised Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Modernization Program for next year.
SEN. Ronald dela Rosa on Tuesday urged the Senate to restore the P10-billion cut that the House of Representatives made on the P50-billion budget for the Revised Armed Forces of the Philippines Modernization Program for next year.
Comparing the National Expenditure Program and the General Appropriations bill approved by the Lower House, dela Rosa lamented that the House reduced the Executive Department’s proposed P50-billion for the Revised Armed Forces Modernization Program to P40 billion. The changes were adopted by the Senate Finance committee in its committee report on the budget bill.
“That’s always our line as politicians, as legislators. And now, here comes the budget deliberations, a P10-billion cut was made on the NEP of Department of National Defense,” dela Rosa noted. He expressed hope for a “synchronized” response between the words and actions of politicians to the AFP’s needs, “as legislators who have the power of the purse.”
