In less than 10 minutes, the Senate approved the Office of the Vice President’s (OVP) P733-million budget for 2025. Despite calls from Senator Bong Go to restore the initially proposed P2 billion budget, the Senate retained the revised amount. Some senators argue that budgetary clarity is needed, as OVP documents remain pending. OVP programs supporting social services and disaster assistance are expected to continue under the allocated budget.
