President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Thursday said the 2025 national budget may be signed before the end of the year.

President Marcos is moving to ensure that the 2025 budget will be compliant with the Constitution and has been “most prudent” in allocating resources, Malacañang said yesterday, following calls to scrap the items in the spending bill that may not withstand legal scrutiny.

President Marcos and his Cabinet are "thoroughly reviewing" the items of the 2025 national budget to ensure that they conform to the Constitution, Malacañang said.
