Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN) representative Rauf Sissay criticized Representative Mikaela Suansing’s emotional reaction during recent congressional budget hearings, describing the display as performative while citizens face rising living costs.
Sissay alleged that legislative budget allocations prioritize district funding ahead of upcoming elections rather than addressing basic social services. He called for greater transparency in congressional budget deliberations to prevent fund misuse.
