So there was little magic that went down between April & Sept 2025. The period ended with a deficit of P4.25bn (1.55% of GDP) against projected deficit of P22.18bn (8.06% of GDP). Whatever went down during that period at @BWGovernment enclave, should be encouraged.
Here is a link to the 2026/27 Budget Strategy Paper as shared by Finance Ministry earlier. https://t.co/rzZhEmsnav The paper is traditionally published every August, if not September/October and serves as a ‘HINT’ for the next budget. Will break the figures later.

Be humble. Be teachable. The universe is bigger than your view of the universe. There's always room for a new idea.

Sadly most men don't have any one to call when they are at their lowest, just him all alone with dark thoughts sobbing.💔
