I am grateful to witness the signing of the P5.768-trillion national budget for 2024 by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
The national budget serves as a reflection of our priorities, values, and unwavering commitment to championing the needs of our people. It empowers us to address pressing challenges and capitalize on opportunities, steering our country towards progress and prosperity.
Now, more than ever, we must ensure that every peso allocated is utilized with utmost effectiveness and transparency, with a dedicated focus on uplifting the welfare of the marginalized and vulnerable sectors of our society.
Let us join hands and hearts in ensuring that this budget becomes a tool for genuine transformation and inclusive development for all Filipinos. Together, let us pave the way for a brighter and more promising future.
