ADDRESSING UNDERSPENDING. Budget Secretary Florencio Abad tells senators the administration is working to boost spending even without DAP.
MANILA, Philippines – Will the Supreme Court’s ruling on the administration’s spending program lower government spending and dampen the Philippines’ economic growth?
Senate President Franklin Drilon warned against this scenario as he and economic managers cited instances where the judiciary stepped in to stop what they called “executive actions” and “business decisions.”
In the presentation of the P2.606 trillion ($59.943 billion) national budget for 2015, Drilon expressed concern about what he called the tremendous dip in government spending from 10% of GDP in the first quarter of 2013 to a mere 2% in the same quarter in 2014.
While the Senate leader related this to factors like the efficiency of individual departments, he party blamed it on the Supreme Court's ruling declaring key acts of the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) unconstitutional.
A key administration ally, Drilon echoed President Benigno Aquino III and Budget Secretary Florencio Abad in saying that the decision has a “chilling effect” on the bureaucracy.
