By Maricel V. Cruz Reporter
The bicameral conference
committee on the proposed P1.227-trillion national budget for 2008
is expected next week to come up with a reconciled version of the
measure to fast track its approval and prevent a reenacted budget.
Rep. Edcel Lagman of Albay,
chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, made this
disclosure, saying he would meet with his Senate counterpart, Sen.
Juan Ponce Enrile, shortly after January 7 to forge a reconciled
appropriations bill. Lagman also heads the House panel in the
Bicameral Conference Committee on the budget bill.
