Nilagdaan na ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. nitong Miyerkules ang panukalang national budget para sa 2024 na nagkakahalaga ng ₱5.768 trilyon.
Partikular na pinirmahan ng Pangulo ang Republic Act (RA) 11975, ang batas na naglalaan ng pondo para sa operasyon ng pamahalaan simula Enero 1, 2024 hanggang Disyembre 31 ng nasabi ring taon.
Dahil dito, inaasahang mapabilis ang pagbangon ng bansa mula sa pagtama ng pandemya ng coronavirus disease 2019.

“Although it is teeming with numbers, this budget is more than a spreadsheet of amounts, or a ledger of projects. Rather, it details our battle plan in fighting poverty and combating illiteracy, in producing food and ending hunger, in protecting our homes and securing our border, treating the sick, keeping our people healthy, creating jobs, and funding livelihoods,” bahagi ng talumpati ni Marcos.
“It is wrong to say that the budget merely pays for the overhead of the bureaucracy. It is more than that. It funds the elimination of problems that we as a nation must overcome. It is incorrect to say that the budget merely finances the operations of government because its fine print bankrolls the realization of our dreams writ large,” dagdag pa ng Pangulo.
