Chiz: Send additional budget by Tuesday

THE House of Representative has until Tuesday next week to transmit its version of the proposed P22.467-billion supplemental budget for 2014 to the Senate so the measure could be passed before Congress goes on a break on December 18.

Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero, chairman of the Senate finance committee, told the Kapihan sa Senado news forum on Thursday that the Senate still has to take up the budget bill in plenary once it is transmitted by the House.
