Cash Budgeting • Page 11 of PRRD’s Budget Action: • V. CASH BUDGETING • I have noted that in the past years from 2014-2016, there were significant gaps between the actual expenditure outturns and the annual appropriations. The dismal spending of agencies translated to billions of pesos of delayed and forgone public services which should have been delivered to the general public. This is unacceptable given my Administration’s commitment to the Filipino people that they will reap, as soon as possible, the benefits of the taxes they have paid. • Concomitantly, let me emphasize that pursuant to the Administrative Code of 1987, I shall mandate the implementation of an operational cash budget for FY 2019 to ensure the availability of cash resources for priority development projects, and speed up the delivery of public services. • Nevertheless, in view of the delayed passage of the FY 2019 GAA and the election ban in connection with the conduct of thee May 13, 2019 national and local elections, we will allow the implementation of, and payment for infrastructure projects to extend until Dec 31, 2020, provided that the funds for the purpose are obligated not later than Dec 31, 2019 in accordance with Section 65, General Provisions of this Act.
