Youth Rage Against Corruption National Convenor Joaquin Buenaflor called for the recall of the proposed 2027 National Budget passed by the House of Representatives, protesting funding reductions in education and healthcare alongside multi-billion-peso allocations for flood control.
Buenaflor asserted that retaining lump-sum discretionary funds for local governments serves pre-election political patronage, calling for the elimination of discretionary line items in favor of direct public funding for social services.
