Filipino: Hindi awtomatikong ilegal o masama ang mga budget insertions dahil bahagi ito ng mandato ng mga mambabatas sa paghubog ng pambansang budget - pero inabuso na ito ng mambabatas, ayon kay Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson nitong Lunes - sabay bunyag na pati ang Kamara ay may dambuhalang mga insertion din sa 2025 budget.
