Sen. Joker Arroyo described yesterday as "inexcusable" the failure of Congress to pass the P1.126-trillion national budget for this year.


"This is unacceptable," he said. 


"The budget is the most important piece of legislation that Congress is duty bound to enact. But for two straight years, Congress, that is, the Senate and the House failed to do so."

President Arroyo has asked Congress to pass the Palace’s priority bills — a list that does not include proposed measures to amend the 1987 Constitution.


Mrs. Arroyo and leaders of Congress yesterday agreed to give priority to the passage into law of at least 14 Palace-certified bills during the remaining 16 session days before both the Senate and House of Representatives adjourn on June 6.
