@maracepeda Robredo now giving lawmakers an update on the OVP's highly praised anti-poverty programs and pandemic response projects. | via @maracepeda #BudgetWatch
@maracepeda The OVP's total proposed budget for 2022 is P713.41 million. This amount now includes the retirement and life insurance premium for OVP employees.

Robredo says this proposed budget is still 21% lower than the OVP's current budget at P900 million. | via @maracepeda #BudgetWatch
@maracepeda Following tradition, the House appropriations committee immediately terminates the budget hearing for the OVP, which means the panel has approved its proposed budget. Interpellations and any proposed increases for the OVP's budget can then be proposed during plenary debates.
@maracepeda CamSur 3rd District Rep Gabriel Bordado and ACT Teachers Rep France Castro say the OVP deserves an additional P1 billion budget in 2022. | via @maracepeda #BudgetWatch

Rappler congressional reporter @ramboreports sits down with Bayan Muna chairman Neri Colmenares (@ColmenaresPH), who once represented the group in the House and was part of the Makabayan bloc.

@ramboreports @ColmenaresPH Despite the attacks, the Makabayan bloc continues to be one of the staunchest administration critics in Congress. They are not the sole entity that represents the Left, but they are the loudest. Fellow lawmakers also listen to them.
