MANILA, Philippines — The 2025 national budget has recently drawn attention due to allegations that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed it despite incomplete allocations.
This has further stirred confusion among the public, especially as copies of the allegedly incomplete signed budget are circulating online.

The federal and state governments’ tax revenue reached a total of 86.2 billion euros ($93.54 billion) last month, according to the ministry’s monthly report.

This bill then becomes the GAA, or the actual national budget, once signed by Marcos.
“The GAB, with all its details, is the controlling document and is presented to the President. Once signed, the GAB becomes law—the GAA,” the statement read.

“With this, we urge our fellow Filipinos to be mindful, cautious, and to first verify information before making any allegations. Clear and accurate understanding is critical for constructive dialogue,” the DBM said.

Steps prior to budget approvalThe HOR and the Senate must first approve their respective versions of the GAB. They then each form a panel of lawmakers that constitutes the Bicam.
“The harmonized or ‘Bicam’ version of the GAB is then submitted back to both Houses [HOR and Senate], which vote to ratify the final GAB. Both Houses then submit or ‘enroll’ the ratified GAB to the President,” the DBM explained.
