Are the approved annual appropriations of the Constitutional Commissions released with conditions?
The approved annual appropriations for these independent commissions cannot be subjected to arbitrary conditions. The Constitution dictates that their funds must be automatically and regularly released to them. This mechanism prevents other branches of government from withholding funds to exert undue political influence. This mandatory and unconditional release of funds is required by Article IX, A, Section 5 1987 Philippine Constitution. “Their approved annual appropriations shall be automatically and regularly released.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
