💡 Trivia Supreme Court urged to junk GAA 2025

Petitioners led by former executive secretary Victor Rodriguez and Davao City 3rd District Rep. Isidro Ungab have filed a case before the Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality of the General Appropriations Act (GAA) of 2025.The petitioners argued that the 2025 national budget violates several provisions of the Constitution, including:

• the right to health (PhilHealth zero budget)
• the prohibition against increasing congressional appropriations beyond the president's recommendations (AKAP, TUPAD causing the budget bloating)
• he mandate to prioritize education in the national budget (manipulating education budget by merging non-educational agencies)

The petition mentions the House of Representatives, the Senate, and Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin as respondents. The petitioners sought a declaration from the Supreme Court that budget law is unconstitutional, citing grave abuse of discretion in its passage and implementation.
