                    [Summary] => 

It’s Malacañang, not the Senate, that should take the blame for delays in the passage of the 2006 national budget, according to Senate President Franklin Drilon’s chief of staff.


The two sides have been blaming each other for the impasse.


"It’s Malacañang’s hardened position not to part with its bloated pork barrel fund that caused the standoff," Antonio Gallardo said in a statement issued to the media yesterday.

                    [Summary] => President Arroyo wants P8 billion in pork barrel funds restored by the Senate-House bicameral conference committee to her proposed P1.053-trillion national budget for this year.


House sources told The STAR yesterday that the President had phoned Albay Rep. Joey Salceda, appropriations committee chairman, to bat for the restoration of the P5-billion Kilos Asenso Support Fund and the P3-billion Kalayaan Barangay Program Fund.


One committee member said Salceda had promised to work to retain the funds in the budget outlay.

In a sponsorship speech delivered yesterday, committee chairman Sen. Manuel Villar Jr. said the Senate amendments came out with an increase of P4.43 billion but also a decrease of P35.54 billion, for a net budget cut of P31.11 billion.


Included in the P31.11 billion trimmed from the General Appropriations Bill was the P13.1 billion allocation for the increase in the allowances of government employees.
