MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Senator Panfilo Lacson on Tuesday called on President Rodrigo Duterte to use his line-item veto power to remove the alleged “pork” insertions of lawmakers in the proposed 2019 national budget.<\/p>\n

“Mr. President, you have displayed your strong political will on several occasions,” Lacson said in a Twitter post.<\/p>\n

“This time, use your line-item veto power over the 2019 appropriations measure by removing all the ‘pork’ inserted by lawmakers who are incorrigibly insatiable and simply ‘beyond redemption’,” he added.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The line-item veto is a power granted to the President to selectively veto certain parts of a bill without vetoing the entire bill.<\/p>\n

Lacson earlier bared that each congressman would receive PHP160 million from the budget of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), more than the previously reported PHP60-million allocation.<\/p>\n

He also alleged that PHP23 billion was inserted by some senators in the DPWH budget.<\/p>\n

According to Senator Loren Legarda, the Senate targets to ratify the budget bill on Friday.<\/p>\n

Legarda, chair of the Senate committee on finance, said the final bicameral conference meeting between her and House of<\/p>\n

Representatives appropriations committee chairman Rolando Andaya Jr. is set on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Malaca\u00f1ang said Monday it remains confident that the 2019 budget will be passed even with only three days left before Congress goes on recess in time for campaign season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s still three days left, let\u2019s just wait. We\u2019re still confident that it will be passed,\u201d Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a Palace briefing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe eagerly await the passage of the General Appropriations Bill. They know it will bring adverse consequences if we have a reenacted budget,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

However, should Congress fail to approve the 2019 budget before recess, Panelo was optimistic it would be passed when sessions resume on May 20 after the mid-term elections.<\/p>\n

The government has been operating under a reenacted budget since January 1.<\/p>\n

Congress failed to pass the national budget before the end of 2018 because of allegations of \u201cpork\u201d insertions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
