'Last -minute cancellations with vague explanations in any context is unprofessional,' an opposition lawmaker says
MANILA, Philippines – The Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education have long been scheduled to defend their proposed 2024 budgets in the House of Representatives plenary on Tuesday, September 26, but it was postponed after Vice President Sara Duterte failed to show up.
“As written in our schedule, after the Office of the President, there should be OVP and DepEd. What’s the estimated time that [their budgets] will be deliberated?” House Deputy Minority Leader France Castro of ACT Teachers asked in the session hall on Tuesday afternoon. “The Office of the Vice President, as well as the secretary of the Department of Education, has conveyed a message to the committee on appropriations, as well as the committee on rules, of a possible conflict in schedule, details of which yours truly is not yet privy,” Deputy Majority Leader Janette Garin replied.
The House was scheduled to tackle the proposed budget of OVP and DepEd today, but it appears VP Sara Duterte's offices asked for postponement at the last minute.
