Senate plenary approves Marcos' 2025 budget without questions

The Senate on Wednesday swiftly approved the 2025 budget of the Office of the President (OP) as no senators raised questions on their P10.5 billion proposed funding.

"Upon consultation with the chairperson of the committee on finance as well as Minority Leader Koko Pimentel, I move that we consider and adopt for consideration of the Senate and approval of the budget of the OP, the president's offices, and the presidential management staff," Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino said in approving the OP's budget.

The OP's budget was the first item on the budget plenary deliberations' agenda on Wednesday.
