House eyes adding billions to roads in the proposed 2027 budget
Rappler reported on October 4 on where the House of Representatives wants to add billions of pesos to the proposed 2027 national budget, with roads among the largest items. DailyDrop has not seen the figures confirmed by a second outlet, so it does not repeat them here.
Budget insertions are a recurring source of flood-control and infrastructure corruption concerns.
Where lawmakers put road money decides which areas get projects.
Watch for second-outlet confirmation and for the Senate's own changes.
