The Presidents declaration is contrary to what was recommended by a task force she earlier created to determine the Philippine participation in Iraqs reconstruction.
The recommendation was to scale down the original 500-strong humanitarian and peacekeeping contingent to Iraq to just 175 because of budgetary constraints.

He stressed that Malacanang could not consistently ignore the review and ratification functions of the Senate as the Constitution mandates that the chamber should be a partner in crafting foreign policy.
