DBM says 2027 budget reenactment still unseen amid Duterte impeachment

At the Financial Executives Institute conference, Kim Robert De Leon said the Department of Budget and Management has not observed any movement toward a reenacted 2027 budget. He emphasized ongoing coordination with Congress to keep the process on track. The lingering impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte is raising concerns that it may slow budget deliberations. Meanwhile, a watchdog noted that the House had already shifted nearly P200 billion within the 2027 budget proposal. The situation underscores uncertainty in the upcoming fiscal planning.
