ACCORDING to EB Jugalbot, only Congress and the Senate hold the Constitutional mandate to assign amounts, exercising their authority over the power of the purse.
“The Constitutional mandate to assign amounts, the power of the purse lies only with the legislature, sa Congress at sa Senado.
Hindi na kasama ang Ehekutibo to decide kung magkano ang ilalagay per item. That is why, kwestyonable ‘yan. We can only surmise na meron talagang horse trading at mga pag-uusap-usap na naganap,” stated EB Jugalbot, Political Commentator.
