The Marcos government has proposed a P7.2tn 2027 budget to revive growth slowed by the flood-control corruption scandal, raising public-works spending while cutting education and health. The House has passed it and the Senate is reviewing it, while the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte (begun in July) and the November ASEAN summit in Manila dominate the political calendar.
