The Pinoy President vetoed US$3.3 billion budget that he said were “inconsistent with the administration’s priority programmes”.
But analysts and stakeholders said the Marcos' veto did not address the alleged irregularities, as the budget still failed to meet the constitutional requirement to prioritise health and education. “It’s legislated electioneering,” budget analyst Zysa Suzara of Manila-based public finance think-tank iLead told ST. “They’re really just fooling the citizenry.”  Mr Marcos said the 2025 budget will promote human capital development, but Ms Suzara noted that this claim is difficult to reconcile with because of the government’s significant reductions in health and education.

(Manila July 2024)  The Philippines is allocating US$4.38 billion for defence spending in 2025, up 6.4% as the country seeks to modernise and boost it external defences. The defence budget, accounts for 4% of the government's proposed spending plan for 2025.  Under Pinoy law, the Education sector will get the lion's share of the budget with an allocation of US$16.8 billion.

There are over three million homeless people across Metro Manila – a sprawling metropolis of 16 cities with a combined population of some 14 million.
They live in shanties, makeshift pushcarts colloquially known as “kariton”, and wherever they can find shelter – by the side of the road, at cemeteries and apparently in storm drains and sewage tunnels.

For some perverse reason, the Pinoy mind continued to be COLONISED by the USA in 21st Century.

Funni they continue to sound happy even as they kenna much higher tariff than SG and Vietnam, a Communist country has almost the same tariff as Pinoyland. ..

Trump has a way of insulting those who continue to whore-ship the angmohs..and unsurprising, in a CNA commentary by a Pinoy, he is trying not to say how screwed Pinoys are..

 

The 19%  tariff rate is still lower than what other neighbouring ASEAN economies got. Vietnam got 20% and Indonesia 19%. The two countries, which are not formal military allies of Washington, fared better in their negotiations with the US compared to the Philippines, a formal US treaty ally.  Under Trump 2.0, it might be wise for the Philippines not to put all its economic eggs in the US basket.
