MANILA, Sept 28 — The Philippines’ lower chamber of congress has approved the proposed 5.768 trillion pesos national budget for 2024, including increased funding for security efforts in the South China Sea.
House members agreed to reallocate 650 million pesos of proposed “confidential and intelligence funds” to efforts to enhance the surveillance capabilities of the coastguard and the fisheries bureau in the South China Sea. Funding support for the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency and National Security Council will also increase.
Vice President Sara Duterte, who is also the education minister and daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, has drawn criticism for her office’s request for intelligence funds amid accusations of a lack of transparency in spending.
