                    [Summary] => The Department of Budget and Management promised yesterday to release at least P2 billion this week in congressional pork barrel funds to appease pork-hungry House members.


Budget Secretary Emilia Boncodin made the promise in a closed-door meeting with congressmen which Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. arranged to quell a brewing revolt over delayed releases of pork barrel funds.

The complaining lawmakers were threatening to hold President Arroyo’s proposed P804-billion 2003 budget hostage unless their funds were released.
