The facts
The budget department did report releasing 64.9 percent, or 4.1 trillion pesos, of the 6.3 trillion peso 2025 budget by the end of January. The money went to government departments, agencies and projects, not to the president personally. VERA Files, writing for the Tsek.ph election project, rated the post misleading.
