Senator Francis Pangilinan on Sunday, the House of Representatives introducing amendments via “errata” to the P4.5 trillion budget after approval on third reading is inconsistent with the constitutional process of legislation.
Pangilinan in a
radio interview over dzBB, “Sa atin sa Senate, and this was already manifested
on the floor last week, once it is approved on third and final reading, kung
material yung errata, teka muna, hindi na ito consistent with the
constitutional process, ika nga, of legislation.”
(This was
already manifested on the Senate floor last week that once it is approved on
third and final reading and the material is errata, wait, this is inconsistent
with the constitutional process of legislation.)
House
appropriations chair Eric Yap’s statement that amendments will be made to the
budget they approved last Friday before it is submitted to the Senate,
Pangilinan was sought for his comment.
Yap said in a
radio interview also on Sunday, “Ang period of amendments, ang mga errata
galing lahat sa agencies, walang galing sa congressman.”
(The period of
amendments, the errata will come from the agencies, nothing will come from
congressmen.)
The any
correction or intervention must be made through the bicameral conference,
especially if it involves a huge amount, Lacson stressed out.
