VP Duterte urges president to oversee national budget

Vice President Sara Duterte has advised President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. to take full control of the national budget to prevent corruption in government projects, citing the ongoing investigation into anomalous flood control projects. Duterte emphasized that the president should be fully aware of the budget's contents and not allow legislators to interfere. She also mentioned that a comprehensive flood control plan for Davao City was previously ignored by the national government and urged the administration to seek advice from Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).
