Carandang gets P50 million to craft Noynoy’s communications
By Gerry Baldo 10/18/2010Communications Secretary Ricky Carandang got P50 million the original amount which was allotted to him not the P200 million he intended to get.
Under the P1.645-trillion General Appropriations Act (GAA) 2011 which had been approved on second reading before Saturday dawn, the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO) budget will be limited to P50 million as earlier allotted by the Office of the President.
The amount of funding for Carandang’s office came after Budget Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad submitted a budget errata document last week to Cavite Rep. Joseph Emilio Abaya, chairman of the House committee on appropriations proposing to increase the group’s budget to P200 million from P50 million.
