NAGDAGDAG ang Senate Committee on Finance ng pondo para palawakin pa ang School Based-Feeding Program ng Department of Education (DepEd) at ang Supplementary Feeding Program ng Department of Social Welfare and Development, ayon kay Senador Win Gatchalian. Sa ilalim ng Senate committee report sa panukalang 2026 national budget, dinagdagan pa ng P15.06 bilyon ang P13.61 bilyon na nakalaan na sa ilalim ng General Appropriations (GAB) Bill (House Bill No. 4058). Gamit ang halos P28.67 bilyong pondo, maipapatupad ng DepEd ang feeding program sa loob ng 200 araw o katumbas ng isang buong school year. Inaasahan ding 4.8 milyong mga mag-aaral ang makikinabang sa naturang programa. Sasaklawin ng programa ang lahat ng mga mag-aaral sa Kindergarten at Grade 1. Magpapatuloy ang suporta ng programa sa mga ‘wasted’ at ‘severely wasted learners’ mula Grade 2 hanggang Grade 6. Makakatanggap naman ang Supplementary Feeding Program ng dagdag na P3.3 bilyon maliban sa P3.32 bilyon na inilaan sa ilalim ng GAB. Mapapalawak ng naturang pondo ang bilang ng feeding days ng programa mula 120 hanggang 180. Mahigit 1.8 milyong mga batang wala pang limang taong gulang na naka-enroll sa mga Child Development Centers (CDCs) ang inaasahang makikinabang sa naturang programa.

SENATORFrancis “Kiko” Pangilinan cited in contempt a Bureau of Customs (BOC) official connected to the smuggling operations at the Port of Subic during the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food, and Agrarian Reform’s public hearing on Wednesday, December 3. BOC-Port of Subic Acting Chief of Assessment Juan San Andres was cited in contempt after inconsistencies in his statements regarding the release of three containers with smuggled agricultural products from the Port of Subic. “On the basis of the motion as well as the explanation of Mr. San Andres, together with clarification from Usec. Carlos Carag, we second the motion: you are cited in contempt by this committee,” the senator and chairman of the agricultural committee said. This comes after a motion from Senator Erwin Tulfo, who flagged San Andres for lying to the committee after Department of Agriculture (DA) Undersecretary Carlos Carag confirmed the attempt to bring the three containers of shipment consigned to Berches Consumer Goods Trading to a non-existent warehouse in Angat, Bulacan. San Andres claimed that the operation to bring the containers out of the Port of Subic for a 100% physical examination in the supposed Berches’ warehouse was done in coordination with the DA’s Inspectorate and Enforcement (DAIE) unit. But Carag belied this claim and said that the DAIE went after several BOC personnel after finding out that the containers were released from the port. While the containers were eventually returned to the Port of Subic, Pangilinan questioned San Andres’ recollection of events, particularly for the issuance of the mission order after he gave instructions to one of the BOC staff to join the underguarding. San Andres denied this, while also failing to justify why the containers were released in the first place despite having possible smuggled agricultural products.

MAGLALAANang 2026 national budget ng P68 bilyon sa susunod na taon para makapagpatayo ng hanggang 27,000 na mga silid-aralan, ayon kay Senador Win Gatchalian. Nagdagdag ang Senate Committee on Finance ng P19.3 bilyon sa P48.7 bilyon na nakalaan na sa ilalim ng General Appropriations Bill (House Bill No. 4058). Ang kasalukuyang budget na P68 bilyon ay limang ulit na mas mataas sa P15.25 bilyon na inilaan sa ilalim ng National Expenditure Program (NEP). Ayon kay Gatchalian, Chairman ng Senate Committee on Finance, maaari nang gumamit ang Department of Education (DepEd) ng iba’t ibang paraan upang makapagpatayo ng mga silid-aralan. Maaari nang pasukin ng DepEd ang mga kasunduan sa mga local government units at civil society organizations para sa pagpapatayo ng mga classroom. Sa mga lugar na humaharap sa mga hamong may kinalaman sa peace and order, maaaring makipagtulungan ang DepEd sa Armed Forces of the Philippines Corps of Engineers. Upang matiyak na construction-ready ang mga school sites sa ilalim ng public-private partnership projects ng DepEd, P160 milyon ang ilalaan sa ilalim ng public schools infrastructure program para sa mga gawaing may kinalaman sa site development
