FORMER president Rodrigo Duterte lied about what he called missing budget amounts and discrepancies in the newly-approved P6.326-trillion national budget, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Monday said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s lying. He\u2019s a president. He knows that you cannot pass a GAA with a blank\u2026 He\u2019s lying,\u201d President Marcos said when asked for his reaction to Duterte\u2019s accusation.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cAnd he\u2019s lying because he knows perfectly well that that doesn\u2019t ever happen,\u201d the President said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cSa buong kasaysayan ng buong Pilipinas, hindi pinapayagan na magkaroon ng item ang GAA ng hindi nakalagay kung ano \u2018yung project at saka ano \u2018yung gastos, ano \u2018yung pondo. So, it\u2019s a lie,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Duterte and Davao City 3rd district Rep. Isidro Ungab have raised discrepancies in the Bicameral Conference Committee report on the recently approved 2025 national budget.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to Ungab, there were missing budget amounts for items under the Department of Agriculture (DA) and unprogrammed appropriations. The House and the Senate ratified a defective Bicam report, he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Duterte argued the 2025 GAA is an invalid legislation that couldn\u2019t be implemented.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But President Marcos said a copy of those items is available on the DBM (Department of Budget and Management) website. Anybody can check to determine whether there are blank parts, he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cMayroon namang kopya that\u2019s available on the website of the DBM. Tingnan ninyo, huwag na ninyong busisiin isa-isa, hanapin niyo \u2018yung sinasabi nila na blank check,:\u201d the President said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cTingnan niyo kung mayroong kahit isa para mapatunayan na tama ang sinasabi ko na kasinungalingan \u2018yan, \u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FORMER president Rodrigo Duterte lied about what he called missing budget amounts and discrepancies in the newly-approved P6.326-trillion national budget, President Ferdinand R.
