MANILA, Philippines – The bicameral conference committee (bicam) discussions on the proposed 2026 national budget continues on Wednesday, December 17.

Senate finance panel chairman Sherwin Gatchalian and House appropriations chair Mikaela Suansing said they hope to finish reconciling the proposed budgets of 11 remaining agencies on Wednesday to give Congress enough time to ratify the bicam report and transmit the budget to Malacañang.

They also hope to finally resolve the deadlock surrounding the proposed budget of the Department of Public Works and Highways after DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon warned that the P45-billion budget cut may render some infrastructure projects underfunded.

The DPWH has since apologized for submitting incomplete data to the Senate finance committee and has provided additional data that can be used to compute more accurate project cost estimates.

Suansing said in a chance interview early Wednesday morning that the bicam reconciled the proposed budgets of at least 20 agencies on the third day of the bicam.
