What better way to highlight a government’s (mis)priorities than its national budget? The proposed PhP5.3 trillion 2023 national budget of the Marcos II regime provides massive payouts for the Office of the President, Office of the Vice President Sara Duterte, national defense, foreign and national debt servicing, discretionary funds and gratuitous infrastructure.
