Palasyo: Ex-PRDD nagkakalat ng fake news sa 2025 budget

MANILA, Philippines – Kinontra ng Malakanyang ang alegasyon ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte kaugnay sa umano’y ”discrepancies” sa 2025 national budget.

Sa pahayag, sinabi ni Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin na ang hakbang ni Duterte at iba pang indibidwal ay isang uri ng pagkakalat ng misinformation o fake news.

”Some quarters, including a former president, have maliciously peddled fake news about President Marcos having signed the GAA (General Appropriations Act) of 2025 with certain parts of the enactment purposely left blank to enable the administration to simply fill in the amounts like in a blank check,” ani Bersamin.

”The peddling of such fake news is outrightly malicious and should be condemned as criminal. No page of the 2025 National Budget was left unturned before the president signed it into law,” dagdag pa niya.

Iginiit ni Bersamin na lahat ng 4,057 pahina ng P6.326-trillion budget ay masusing sinuri ng daan-daang professional staff mula sa Kongreso at Department of Budget and Management.

”This meticulous line-by-line scrutiny is a pre-enactment check performed by dedicated civil servants to ensure that the GAA contained no single discrepancy in the amounts being appropriated,” sinabi ni Bersamin.

Imposible umano sa anumang funding items na maiwang blanko.

Wala pang tugon ang kampo ni Duterte kaugnay nito. RNT/JGC
