Malacañang on Tuesday expressed confidence that the 2026 national budget is legally sound and fully intended to benefit the Filipino people.
“Confident sila na ang ginawa ngayon na budget ang pinaka-malinis, pinaka-maayos at ito ay para sa taumbayan. So, confident po ang Pangulo,” Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said during a Palace press briefing.
Castro made the comment in response to reports that some individuals plan to raise questions before the Supreme Court regarding the remaining unprogrammed appropriations in the 2026 General Appropriations Act (GAA), which President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. signed on Monday.
Castro said that while anyone has the right to file a case before the Supreme Court, the administration is prepared to respond to any petition challenging the constitutionality of this part of the 2026 national budget.
“Of course, kapag sila ay nag-file ng petition sasagot naman po ang administrasyon at tingnan na lamang natin kung ano ang magiging resulta at magiging desisyon ng Korte Suprema,” said Castro. | PND
