Taxpayer’s suit challenges GAA 2025 constitutionality - Business Mirror

Quick Summary:

A TAXPAYER’S suit was filed before the Supreme Court seeking to declare unconstitutional Republic Act No.12116, otherwise known as the General Appropriations Act of Fiscal Year 2025.

Despite this, the petitioners said based on their review of the 2025 GAA, not a single centavo was allotted for PhilHealth due to its supposed P600-billion reserve funds, comprising its surplus and funds placed in investments.

However, the proposed budget for the House under the General Appropriations Bill which was approved by the President, which led to the passage of RA 12116, amounted to P33.67 billion, or more than twice the initial budget proposal.
