During a press briefing in Malacañang, DBM Secretary Amenah Pangandaman announced that the proposed budget for the OVP for next year is PhP 2.037 billion.
Breaking down the budget, Pangandaman detailed that PhP 188.5 million is allocated for Personnel Services, PhP 1.79 billion for Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses, and PhP 56 million for Capital Outlay.
In response to queries, Pangandaman also noted that the OVP did not request a Confidential and Intelligence Fund (CIF) for 2025.
