"Not the Time!” Senators Explode Over Last-Minute Budget Inserts in Bicam | DA, DPWH Projects

Video Description

A tense showdown erupted inside the Bicameral Conference Committee as senators pushed back hard against last-minute budget insertions involving DPWH projects and billions worth of farm-to-market roads under the Department of Agriculture. Lawmakers repeatedly warned that Bicam is meant to reconcile House and Senate versions — not accommodate late appeals submitted after months of deliberations. Questions over missing items in the NEP, sudden project swaps, and internal realignments sparked heated exchanges and calls for stricter rules. With senators warning this must never become a precedent, the explosive debate exposed deep cracks in the country’s budget process.
