Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva said the Senate has a list of agencies that should not be given confidential and intelligent funds.
He said that each senator submitted their list and it will be revealed in the budget plenary debate.
“Doon sa ilang mga ahensya na hindi kailangan ng CIF, I think may list na naibigay ang mga kasama natin. I don’t want to preempt anyone for pushing for their advocacies and priorities,” Villanueva said.
The lawmaker said it should be seen what agency should be given the CIF.
“Ang importante dito magamit ng tama, maging transparent tayo sa mga debate at makita natin sino talaga ang nangangailangan at hindi nangangailangan ng CIF,” he said.
Villanueva said the Senate will ensure a national budget that “we can all be proud of.”
