Senators’ Alleged Insertions Offered to VP Sara Duterte
Senators’ alleged insertions in the 2025 national budget have been offered to Vice President Sara Duterte to support her role as a “working vice president,” officials reported on Monday. Senator Jinggoy Estrada made this proposal during the Senate subcommittee on finance hearing, emphasizing the importance of empowering the vice presidency with concrete resources.
Backing the Budget Approval Motion
During the hearing, Estrada backed a motion to approve the budget insertions, suggesting that these funds could enhance the Office of the Vice President’s (OVP) capacity to implement programs effectively. Community members said this move aims to provide VP Duterte with sufficient means to carry out her initiatives and serve the public more efficiently.
Strengthening the Role of the Vice President
Local leaders noted that the proposal reflects a growing recognition of the vice president’s potential contributions to national development. By allocating specific budgetary support through senators’ alleged insertions, the OVP can take on a more active and functional role in governance.
Implications for the 2025 National Budget
Officials reported that the inclusion of these insertions in the 2025 budget could set a precedent for future allocations to the vice presidency. This approach could redefine how the office operates, making it a more dynamic partner in government programs and initiatives.
Public Reaction and Future Prospects
Community members expressed cautious optimism about the proposal. While some praised the potential for a “working vice president,” others called for transparency and accountability to ensure that the inserted funds are used effectively.
As the Senate subcommittee continues deliberations, the role of senators’ alleged insertions in shaping the 2025 national budget remains a critical topic of discussion.
