The document discusses reforms to the Philippine budgeting process proposed by the Freedom from Debt Coalition. It recommends (1) repealing laws that automatically appropriate funding for debt service payments, in order to restore Congress' power over spending; (2) defining terms like "savings" and regulating the president's powers around budget impoundment and reallocation to prevent overreach; and (3) conducting a congressional audit of public funds spent through non-itemized mechanisms to ensure transparency. The FDC supports related bills filed in Congress to implement these reforms and increase oversight of the national budget.
