The House has passed a bill that will extend the validity of the 2021 budget hurdles.

On final reading, the House of Representatives passed a measure on Monday that would postpone the availability of the 2021 national budget until December of the following year.

On third reading, the lower chamber approved House Bill 10373, which seeks to alter Section 62 of Republic Act 11518, or the General Appropriations Act (GAA) of Fiscal Year 2021, with 168 affirmative votes, six negative votes, and no abstentions.

The proposed amendment would make the 2021 allocations available until December 31, 2022.

The coronavirus epidemic, according to ACT-CIS Party-list Rep. Eric Go Yap, limited prospects for socio-economic growth and development.

He also said it caused “disruptions” in government activities, which resulted in delays in the publication and issuing of budget allocations.

“As we approach the end of the year, there are still programs, projects, and activities financed by the 2021 GAA that the Filipino people, particularly those in the most vulnerable sector, desperately need,” he stated.

He claimed that extending the budget’s availability will allow agencies to fully utilize the allocations for government programs and initiatives, as well as ensure that the intended recipients of these fundamental services are reached.

He said that the national budget for 2021 would increase the country’s response to the epidemic while also boosting economic recovery.

“More than our priorities for responsive and dynamic governance, the focus of our resources shall also be directed to the most urgent priority – to reset our momentum and action, rebound from the devastating effects of the pandemic on health and the economy, and fully recover from current and continuing impacts of the crisis,” Yap explained.
