Sampal sa mukha ni Mikey Arroyo at ng Supreme Court ang mga pahayag na binitiwan ni Rodante Marcoleta sa sobrang kupad na parang pagong ng hustisya sa Pilipinas na panahon na para ayusin!

The House of Representatives’ (HOR) Committee on Appropriations starts the plenary deliberations for the proposed PhP4.506 trillion national budget filed as House Bill No. 7727 or the General Appropriations Bill for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 at the HOR in Batasang Pambansa, Quezon City on September 30, 2020.

Deputy Majority Leader and Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel Arroyo, who sponsored the Judiciary’s budget, cited the need to restore the Judiciary’s original proposed budget of P55.88 billion for next year. The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) only granted them P43.54 billion under the National Expenditure Program (NEP) for next year.

“The difference is quite big, quite noticeable…I’m sure we all agree if we add to their budget to their proposed budget if we give it to them, then they will be able to work in a better way,” Arroyo said.
