EXPLANATORY NOTE 
On August 23, 2021, the President submitted the Fiscal Year 2022 expenditure plan to Congress amounting to 
P5.024 Trillion. The submission is well within the limit provided under Section 22, Article VII of the 1987 Constitution 
which states that: 
"The President shall submit to the Congress within thirty days from the opening of every regular 
session, as the basis of the general appropriations bill, a budget of expenditures and sources of 
financing, including receipts from existing and proposed revenue measures." 
The role of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the budget process strings from the constitutional 
provision stated in Section 24, Article VII of the 1987 Constitution, that “No money shall be paid out of the treasury 
except in pursuance of an appropriation made by law”.  Thus, it has become axiomatic in a democratic society that no 
money can be spent except in pursuance of a legislative appropriation. 
In particular, the House of Representatives, among the duties and the rights it constitutionally possesses is 
vested with the “power of the purse”, the ability to tax and authorize the use of public money for the national 
government.  As stated, under Section 24, Article VII of the 1987 Constitution, “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.”

The budget theme of the FY 2022 expenditure program of “Sustaining the Legacy of Real Change for the 
Future Generations” embodies Filipino resilience in the face of the many challenges brought about by the pandemic, 
as well as their courage and the spirit of Bayanihan. Among its priorities is funding for COVID-19 response measures 
including infrastructure investments to restore the Philippines to its pre-pandemic growth trajectory. 
A major highlight in the FY 2022 budget is the implementation  of the decision of the Supreme Court (SC)  on 
the Mandanas-Garcia case, which subsequently raised the share of the Local Government Units (LGUs) from the 
national taxes. 
In adopting the FY 2022 national expenditure program, we ensure that the national budget will become an 
effective impetus to drive the country back to a strong and genuine recovery. We will sustain the COVID-19 response 
efforts while supporting the gradual transition to full recovery. The budget will fund key programs and measures aimed 
at fortifying the four main fronts of the pandemic battle strategy: health and nutrition, social protection, governance, 
and development. 
To curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the FY 2022 budget provides funding for the procurement and 
distribution of vaccines, including the provision for booster shots for people who have already completed their 
vaccinations to further strengthen their immune system and reduce the chances of suffering the adverse symptoms of 
the virus infection. It also provides funds to enhance the capacity of the country’s health system for knowledge and 
technology generation, acquisition, adoption through the establishment of the Virology Science and Technology 
Institute of the Philippines.  
Macroeconomic Assumptions and Fiscal Program 
The FY 2022 budget is crafted based on a set of macroeconomic parameters which affect the 
viability of the budget and the availability of resources that would finance the expenditure program.  The 
budget and the macroeconomic variables have a dynamic relationship wherein each impacts on each 
other.  Among  the  major  macroeconomic  assumptions  are  the  following:  (a)  the  real  GDP  growth 
rate;  (b) inflation rate; (c) 364-day interest rate; and (d) foreign exchange rate. 
For FY 2022, the country’s GDP projected growth rate is expected to reach 7.0 to 9.0 percent. This 
growth target is hinged on the management of risks and continued gradual and safe reopening of the 
economy, subject to the strictest compliance to minimum health standards. This is also considered the 
latest projection on monetary and trade assumptions endorsed by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. 
Inflation assumption for FY 2022 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 2022 has been maintained at USD 50 to 70 per barrel based 
on the future market.  
In the foreign exchange market, the peso-dollar-exchange rate is assumed at P48.00 – 
P53.00/US$1 for 2021 to 2022 onwards.  
In the primary market, the 364-day T-bill rate could settle 
to 2.0 to 3.5 percent for FY 2022.  The trends in the domestic T-bill market will continue to be influenced 
by the current liquidity management efforts by the National Government and the Bangko Sentral ng 
Pilipinas.

The Proposed Expenditure Program 
The proposed FY 2022 national budget amounting to P5.024 Trillion is 22.8 percent of GDP.  This 
is 11.5 percent higher or P518 Billion more than the FY 2021 budget of P4.506 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 P1.665 Trillion or 7.5 percent of GDP. 
Projected FY 2022 disbursements amount to P4.955 Trillion. 
Of the P5.024 Trillion budget, new general appropriations which Congress will authorize is P3.502 
Trillion, consisting of P3.351 Trillion in Programmed New Appropriations and P151.6 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 P3,350.7 Billion, together with the P1,672.9 Billion in 
Automatic Appropriations which is outside the purview of this General Appropriations Bill, will provide 
for the appropriation cover for the P5.024-Trillion budget.

Financing the FY 2022 Proposed Budget 
Revenues and Borrowings 
The National Government expects revenue collections in FY 2022 to reach P3.290 Trillion, or 14.9 
percent of GDP.  This is 14.2 percent higher than the 2021 programmed revenue of P2.882 Trillion 
which is equivalent to 14.5 percent of GDP.  The P3.290 Trillion revenue will fund about 66 percent of the 
P4.955 Trillion programmed disbursements for 2022, obliging the national government to partly finance 
through borrowings about 34 percent of the expenditures.  
Of the P3.290 Trillion revenues for FY 2022, P3.125 Trillion, or 95 percent will be in the form of 
taxes while P164 Billion or 5 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 P2.435 Trillion, 
while the rest will be contributed by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) with P672 Billion, and other offices 
with P183 Billion. 
On the other hand, the government intends to borrow in FY 2022 the amount of about P2.473 
Trillion, of which P560.577 Billion will be sourced from foreign creditors while P1.912 Trillion will be 
sourced domestically.  Of the total borrowings, P1.665 Trillion will be used to finance the deficit, settle 
P141.2 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.

;
A year ago, when we deliberated the FY 2021 budget, the country was lurching from the impact 
of the pandemic outbreak. Up to this day, the pandemic persists and we continue our fight against the 
more threatening emergence of new variants of the virus. But we will not be deterred by the threat of 
this unseen enemy, from performing our solemn duties to our country and our people to provide an 
effective pandemic response through this budget.
 We must act swiftly, efficiently and effectively to win the fight against COVID-19 in the coming 
year.  The timely passage of the General Appropriations Bill will ensure that our Government through its 
programs and projects will be able to sustain and recover our lost momentum. 
For the Committee on Appropriations: 
REP. ERIC GO YAP 
Chairperson 
Committee on Appropriations
