INSTITUTING BUDGET REFORM FOR LGUS: Senator Panfilo Lacson (left), chair of the Senate Finance Subcommittee D, tackles a proposal seeking to institutionalize the equal distribution of funds for the development of local government units (LGUs). “By giving the LGUs the necessary wherewithal to be active participants in the development of our country, we will end the culture of mendicancy and political patronage that thrive in our system. This will help us realize the inclusive growth that we all aspire for our nation,” Lacson said. Also in photo is Senator Joel Villanueva (right). (PRIB Photo by Cesar Tomambo/10 October 2016)
