Agree. Govt met its targets, but it's at the higher end of the 2024 target. Not very good and worse, the people felt the pinch. So felt that self-rated poverty is highest in 21 years.

One of the first things I learned in UP Diliman, i.e. my publication design and layout class, is that everything has to make sense. Months after, here I was, doing the thing that made the most sense at that time.

1. Is his MCLE updated?
2. How familiar is he with the new laws? When he was president he didn’t even seem familiar with the human rights provisions of the 1987 Constitution. In law school he studied the 1973 Constitution.
Looking forward to finding out what his inputs will be.

IDK who needs to hear this, but you're allowed to like one part of a band's discography and not the other. You don't have to know the whole history of a band to be a fan. You can just simply LIKE the music. You don't need to know names of every album or song or band member. You can just LIKE music.

Here's my summary of the shady reallocations in the 2025 budget. Pork projects were inserted in the DPWH budget, crowding out important funds for social protection, education, and health. Foreign-funded projects were also relegated to unprogrammed funds. All this in the run-up to the 2025 polls. #PH

4Ps, a conditional, evidence-based social protection program, was slashed from Php 114-B to Php 64-B. In favor of "assistance" laced with patronage. Blood-curdling.
What kind of national budget is this?
At least Php214.8B was slashed from major departments like DA, DepEd, DOH, DOLE, DSWD, DOTr, and CHED.
At least Php97.6B was slashed from the national gov't subsidies to GOCCs
Php40.5B was slashed from Special Purpose Funds.
