Malacañang on Thursday expressed readiness to conduct a comprehensive review of the proposed 2026 budgets of other government agencies, aside from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), should irregularities be uncovered.

Presidential Communications Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is ready to issue the same directive to concerned agencies should questionable items be found to be included in their allocation under the 2026 National Expenditure Program (NEP).

“Kung may iba pang ahensya na involved, ay ganoon din po ang magiging utos ng Pangulo,” Castro said in a press briefing.

Castro, however, emphasized that accusations of alleged anomalies in the 2026 budget of other agencies must be supported by detailed facts before these are presented to the President for evaluation.

Castro added that it is important to provide details to the President in order to ascertain if there are indeed irregularities.

“Ngayon po ay kailangan lang tingnan. Hindi po natin masasabi na mayroon talagang mga anomalyang naisingit,” Castro added.

For now, President Marcos has directed the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the DPWH to carefully evaluate the flagged items and make necessary corrections in the DPWH proposed 2026 budget.

Castro said congressional budget hearings currently remain on track and within the schedule. Presidential News Desk
