00:00The former president could have simply fact-checked his allegation on blank pages on the DBM website

00:06but then choose otherwise, irresponsibly run his mouth as he has been known to do even during his

00:11reign and wound up with a pie or egg in his face. But as President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. reminds

00:18him, never in the history of the republic has the GAA passed bicam and presidential muster

00:24with blank pages contained. Our Clay Zilpardilla has more. President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. has

00:32dismissed as lies the allegations that certain portions of the enacted 2025 national budget

00:38were left blank. He's lying. He's a president. He knows that you cannot pass a GAA without any,

00:48with a blank. He's lying. And he's lying because he knows perfectly well that that doesn't ever

00:56happen. The president was responding to claims made by former President Rodrigo Duterte and Davao

01:05Third District Representative Isidro Ungab who alleged discrepancies in the national budget.

01:10They claimed some sections were left incomplete, potentially allowing them to be filled out in

01:15at a later time. President firmly refuted the accusations, emphasizing that no government

01:21budget has ever contained blank items. He urged the public to visit the Department of Budget and

01:44Management website to verify the accuracy of the national budget details. Malacanang earlier

01:51denounced what it described as a spread of fake news and misinformation by Duterte, calling it

01:57malicious and urging the public to condemn it as a criminal act. Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin

02:04assured that the 4,057-page national budget was thoroughly reviewed before its approval.

02:10Bersamin maintained that no project, program, or activity was left unfunded before the budget was

02:16signed into law. The Palace called on Duterte's camp to act responsibly and stop spreading false

02:22information. Meanwhile, the DBM clarified the pages being circulated online are from the Bicameral

02:27Conference Committee report and not from the General Appropriations Bill or the final enacted

02:32General Appropriations Act. From PTV Manila, Kleisel Pardilia, Balitang Pabansa.
