The Senate will begin marathon deliberations on the 2024 proposed national budget on Wednesday, according to Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri.
Zubiri said that senators will have morning and afternoon sessions to abide by its timeline to pass the proposed budget.
The Senate President earlier said that the Senate vows to pass the General Appropriations Bill (GAB) during the first or second week of December.
“Our commitment is that we will pass it on time. We will finish deliberations by the first week of December.”
Sen. Sonny Angara, chair of the committee on finance, will sponsor the GAB on Wednesday.
On Saturday, the House of Representatives has transmitted the 2024 proposed national budget to the Senate.
