PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., is looking to sign the ratified Bicameral Conference Committee Report on the proposed 2024 national budget before Christmas.

Presently, Marcos is still waiting for the Committee Report.

There are consultations throughout the year on the budget. 

“I will be very surprised if there are other issues that will suddenly arise that we had not anticipated or hadn’t resolved. I don’t see any problem to that,” Marcos said.

“You should really ask the bicam to see what their schedule is. But yes, I think we’re good for Christmas,” he added. 

Both Houses had separately ratified the bicameral conference committee report.

They reconciled the differences with their respective versions for the 2024 national budget which is valued at P5.768 trillion.
 

Likewise the ratification of the bicameral conference committee report had finalized the 2024 budget at the level of the legislature.
