MANILA Mayor Isko Moreno has signed the city’s P25-billion budget for 2027, thanking the City Council for its swift approval.
“Thank you very much to our Vice Mayor Chi Atienza and the entire City Council for the prompt approval of Manila’s 2027 budget,” Moreno said in a statement on Wednesday.
“There are landmark projects for 2027 included in the proposed budget. We will announce these projects in the coming days,” he added.
Moreno said a large portion of the P25-billion budget would remain allocated to the city’s Minimum Basic Needs, particularly education, healthcare, housing and job creation.
“A large portion of this P25-billion budget will still be focused on our Minimum Basic Needs, so we will continue to invest in education, healthcare, housing and job creation,” he said.
He added that the social services introduced during his first term as mayor would continue.
These include allowances for senior citizens, solo parents and students, as well as the Yormilk program for children in Manila.
Moreno reminded city officials to ensure the efficient use of public funds to sustain the delivery of services to residents.
