Hontiveros resumes panel deliberations on Comelec’s proposed 2022 budget: Finance Subcommittee H chairperson Sen. Risa Hontiveros presides over the continuation of a virtual hearing on the proposed 2022 budget of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) Monday, October 18, 2021. The Comelec has a proposed budget of P26.7 billion for its programs, activities and projects including the national and local elections and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) and barangay elections next year. “We want to see the readiness and preparedness of the agency going into 2022 with the challenge of the pandemic in the backdrop. As such, Comelec needs to convince us that the budget it seeks, including its request for an allotment increase, under the current circumstances is justified," Hontiveros said.
