Congressmen from the Makabayan bloc filed House Resolution 2067, calling for public access to bicameral conference committee hearings and documents on the national budget, starting with the 2025 General Appropriations Bill. They argue that transparency would prevent undisclosed changes and align budget allocations with citizens’ needs. Representatives France Castro, Arlene Brosas, and Raoul Manuel emphasized that concealed amendments bypass proper legislative scrutiny and undermine public trust.
