READ: Department of Budget and Management statement on allegations of "blank pages and figures" in the 2025 GAA
**
This is to address malicious and irresponsible allegations surrounding the Fiscal Year 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA).
First, allow us to categorically deny the spreading accusations stating that the FY 2025 GAA signed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos, Jr. contains blank pages or figures. These allegations are completely false and reckless.
What has been presented by certain misinformed individuals are pages from the Bicameral Conference (Bicam) Committee Report, and NOT the General Appropriations Bill (GAB) nor the GAA.
It is important to note that, under the 1987 Constitution, it is the Bill— the GAB, and NOT the Bicam Report, that is officially submitted for the consideration, and approval or veto of the President.
It is the GAB, with all its details, that is controlling, and is presented to the President. Once signed, the GAB becomes the Law— the GAA.
To reiterate, the Bill presented to and signed by the President is a complete document, with no blank pages or missing details. In no case does the Executive issue a GAA with blank pages or figures.
With this, we urge our fellow Filipinos to be mindful, cautious, and to first verify information before making any allegations. Clear and accurate understanding is critical for constructive dialogue.
We kindly appeal to our kababayans to avoid spreading false information; communication is a powerful tool that can make or break a nation. Let us use it to promote unity and understanding, and not to sow discord, hatred, and division.
After all, we are one nation.
Thank you.

WATCH: President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. says former president Rodrigo Duterte is lying about his allegations of “blank checks” on the 2025 budget.
“He knows perfectly well that doesn’t ever happen. Sa buong kasaysayan ng Pilipinas hindi pinapayagan na magkaroon ng item ang (General Appropriations Act) na hindi nakalagay kung ano ang project at ano ang pondo. It’s a lie,” he says in a media interview on Monday (Jan. 20, 2025).
He also encouraged the public to check the signed GAA as posted in the website of the Department of Budget and Management. | Darryl John Esguerra; 🎥 MPC

Some quarters, including a former president, have maliciously peddled fake news about President Marcos having signed the GAA of 2025 with certain parts of the enactment purposely left blank to enable the administration to simply fill in the amounts like in a blank check.
The peddling of such fake news is outrightly malicious and should be condemned as criminal. No page of the 2025 National Budget was left unturned before the president signed it into law.
All 4,057 pages of its two thick volumes (which were printed in fine print — with nearly sixty lines on each page) were exhaustively reviewed by hundreds of professional staff from Congress and the Department of Budget and Management.
This meticulous line-by-line scrutiny is a pre-enactment check performed by dedicated civil servants to ensure that the GAA contained no single discrepancy in the amounts being appropriated.
It is impossible for any funding items to be left blank, as alleged by misinformed and malicious sources.
The true facts and the printed figures appearing in the GAA easily debunk the malicious claims of deliberate blanks being left for filling in.
Anyone who conducts the same rigorous examination of the 2025 National Budget — which the public can view on the DBM website — will come to the same conclusion: that there is no program, activity, or project at all with blank appropriations in that carefully vetted law.
The former president and his cohorts should know better that the GAA could not contain blank items.
