EXPLANATORY NOTE

We submit and introduce House Bill No.__7%27which embodies the proposed general
appropriations for the operation of the national government for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, at the time when
the country and the whole world is troubled by the pandemic brought by the Corona Virus Disease 2019
(COVID-19). This is a time when all the gains we achieved are put to test and stretched beyond
anticipation.

‘The formulation and the crafting of the General Appropriations Bill has always been the yardstick
of the financial achievements of the national government, of the country and our people. We stand along
with the budget philosophy of this administration that more than Government's priorities for a responsive
and dynamic governance, we have to focus our resources to the most urgent priority — to reset our
momentum and action, to enable us to rebound from the debilitating effects of the pandemic on health and
the economy, and fully recover from current and continuing impacts of the crisis. Thus, the theme “Reset,
Rebound, and Recover: Investing for Resiliency and Sustainability”.

Balancing our priorities is to have a sound fiscal budget, a budget that reflects the true and real
wealth and resources of the nation, That is spending within means, on the right priorities, and with
measurable results.


The proposed general appropriations bill amounting to P4.506 Trillion or 21.8 percent of Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) will enable us to get back on the road and sustain the momentum we lost when
the economy slid into recession in the first half of FY 2020 as the GDP growth for the second quarter
marked the steepest quarterly decline after 84 quarters of growth.

The House of Representatives, through the Committee on Appropriations in the exercise of its
exclusive powers under Section 24, Article VI of the Constitution which states: All appropriation, revenue
or tariff bills, bills authorizing increase of the public debt, bills of local application, and private
bills shall originate exclusively in the House of Representatives, but the Senate may propose or
concur with amendments is duty bound to perform the task of allocating scarce government resources
with utmost diligence among various sectors of society. The role of Congress in the budget process sustains
the principle that no money can be spent except in pursuance of a legislative appropriation.

Macroeconomic Assumptions and Fiscal Program

The adopted macroeconomic conditions applied in this budget are based on real economic growth
rates. The following set of macroeconomic parameters: (a) real GDP growth rate; (b) inflation rate; (c) 364-
day interest rate; and (d) foreign exchange rate, among others affect the viability of the budget and the
availability of resources that would finance the expenditure program. These macroeconomic variables and
the budget have a dynamic relationship wherein both affect each other.

For FY 2020, the country’s GDP projected growth rate has been adjusted from the previous estimate
of -2.0 to -3.4 per cent to —4.5 to 6.6 per cent due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on tourism, trade,
and remittances throughout the year. Nonetheless, the government is confident that the country is on track
to economic recovery in FY 2021 with GDP growth expected to reach 6.5 to 7.5 percent, as the National
Government continues its pump-priming activities. The priority implementation of the Build, Build, Build
infrastructure program and revitalization of the industry and services sectors are expected to lead the
recovery.

The inflation rate assumption for FY 2020 was narrowed down to the range of 1.75 to 2.75 percent
due to subdued demand. Inflation assumption for FY 2021 is retained at 2.0 to 4.0 percent. This means
that prices in the typical consumption basket of Filipino families will remain stable and predictable.

The assumption for the price of Dubai crude oil per barrel for FY 2020 was revised from USD 23 to
38 per barrel to USD 35 to 45 per barrel, based on the futures market. For FY 2021, the assumption has
been maintained at USD 35 to 50 per barrel.

On the exchange rate, the range of the Peso-USD exchange rate assumption was narrowed to P50
to P52 against the USD for FY 2020 and maintained at P50 to P54 in FY 2021.

In view of the slowing down of global trade due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth assumptions
for goods exports and imports for FY 2020 further contracted by 16.0 percent and 18.0 percent, respectively.
However, the growth of goods exports is projected to pick up to 5.0 percent while growth of goods imports
is expected to reach 8.0 percent by FY 2021, consistent with the expected pace of recovery in global and
domestic demand in the following years.


The FY 2021 Budget is consistent with the following macroeconomic assumptions.

The FY 2021 budget is also formulated based on the following fiscal program:

() Total revenues of P2,717.4 Billion in FY 2021, which translates to 13.2 percent of GDP and is
higher by 7.8 percent from the FY 2020 revenue program of P2,519.8 Billion;

(ii) Consolidated public sector deficit of P1,573.607 Billion or 7.6 percent of GDP;
(iii) National government budget deficit of P1,749.615 Billion or 8.5 percent of GDP;

(iv) Outstanding national government debt of P11.982 Trillion or a debt-to-GDP ratio of 58.05
percent by end-2021.

‘The Proposed Expenditure Program

‘The proposed FY 2021 national budget amounting to P4.506 Trillion is 21.8 percent of GDP. This is
9.9% higher or P406.0 Billion more than the FY 2020 budget of P4.100 Trillion. The low conservative
growth is consistent with the policy of keeping the budget deficit within sustainable levels. The National
Government budget deficit is limited to P1.75 Trillion or 8.5% of GDP. Projected FY 2021 disbursements
amount to P4.467 Trillion.

Of the P4,506 Trillion budget, new general appropriations which Congress will authorize is P3.263
Trillion, consisting of P3.087 Trillion in Programmed New Appropriations and P176.3 Billion in
Unprogrammed Appropriations which may only be utilized when revenue collections in any one of the
identified revenue sources exceed targets per Budget of Expenditures and Sources of Financing (BESF) or
when new foreign loans or grants are received.

The Programmed New Appropriations of P3,086.8 Billion, together with the P1,419.2 Billion in

Automatic Appropriations which is outside the purview of this General Appropriations Bill, will provide
for the appropriation cover for the P4.506-trillion budget.

Financing the FY 2021 Proposed Budget
Revenues and Borrowings

The National Government expects revenue collections in FY 2021 to reach P2.717 Trillion, or 13.2
percent of GDP. This is 7.8 percent higher than the 2020 programmed revenue of P2.520 Trillion which is
equivalent to 13.4 percent of GDP. The P2.717 Trillion revenue will fund about 61 percent of the P4.467
‘Trillion programmed disbursements for 2021, obliging the national government to partly finance through
borrowings about 39 percent of the expenditures.

Of the P2.717 Trillion revenues for FY 2021, P2.542 Trillion, or 94 percent will be in the form of
taxes while P175 Billion or 6 percent will be sourced from non-tax revenues and sale of government assets.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) will generate the bulk of this amount with P1.904 Trillion, while
the rest will be contributed by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) with P620 Billion, and other offices with
P193 Billion.

On the other hand, the government intends to borrow in FY 2021 the amount of about P3.025
Trillion, of which P442.363 Billion will be sourced from foreign creditors while P2.583 Trillion will be
sourced domestically. Of the total borrowings, P1.75 Trillion will be used to finance the deficit, settle
P762.263 Billion in maturing debt obligations, and the balance includes contributions to the bond sinking
fund, and maintain sufficient cushion of cash in the National Treasury.
