What type of financial autonomy do Constitutional Commissions enjoy?
The Constitutional Commissions are constitutionally guaranteed to enjoy full fiscal autonomy. This means they have the independence to manage their allocated funds without undue external interference. Such autonomy is crucial for them to perform their mandate without bowing to political or executive pressures. This grant of financial independence is enshrined in Article IX, A, Section 5 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 5. The Commission shall enjoy fiscal autonomy.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
