THE HONORABLE SPEAKER,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:
I have this day signed the General Appropriations Bill for Fiscal Year
1990 (H. B. No. 26934), entitled "AN ACT APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR THE
OPERATION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES FROM
JANUARY ONE TO DECEMBER THIRTY-ONE, NINETEEN HUNDRED AND NINETY, AND
FOR OTHER PURPOSES."
However, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the Constitution, I
have vetoed the following items in the Bill:
A. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
XXXVII. CONTINGENT FUND
Special Provision
2. Use of the Fund. — The amount herein appropriated
shall be used solely to fund expenditures for contingencies, including
the amount of P20,000,000 needed for the Legislative-Executive Bases
Council and for newly enacted laws since August 23, 1989: provided,
HOWEVER, that THIS FUND SHALL NOT BE USED TO RESTORE OR AUGMENT ITEMS
OF APPROPRIATION RECOMMENDED BY THE PRESIDENT IN THE BUDGET SUBMITTED
TO CONGRESS PURSUANT TO ARTICLE VII, Sec. 25 [SIC] OF THE
CONSTITUTION WHICH HAVE BEEN REDUCED OR DISAPPROVED BY CONGRESS (Page
1136).
I am vetoing this provision for being an undue interference and
encroachment into the prerogatives of the Executive Branch of
Government. The Contingent Fund was established to serve as a ready
funding source for the contingent liabilities of the government and to
support the implementation of activities which shall be accorded higher
priorities after the enactment of the budget.ndeed, the fund is
intended to give the President a "quick response" mechanism to meet
contingencies and emergencies which may arise during the budget year.
These flexibility and quick response mechanism are effectively negated
by this provision:
B. GENERAL PROVISIONS
"Sec. 16. Use of Savings. — The President of the
Philippines, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Heads of
Constitutional Commissions under Article IX of the Constitution, and
the Ombudsman are hereby authorized to augment any item in this Act for
their respective offices from savings in other items of their
appropriations: provided, that NO ITEM OF APPROPRIATION RECOMMENDED BY
THE PRESIDENT IN THE BUDGET SUBMITTED TO CONGRESS PURSUANT TO ARTICLE
VII, Sec. 22 OF THE CONSTITUTION WHICH HAS BEEN DISAPPROVED OR
REDUCED BY CONGRESS SHALL BE RESTORED OR INCREASED BY THE USE OF
APPROPRIATIONS AUTHORIZED FOR OTHER PURPOSES IN THIS ACT BY
AUGMENTATION. ANY ITEM OF APPROPRIATION FOR ANY PURPOSE RECOMMENDED BY
THE PRESIDENT IN THE BUDGET SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN DISAPPROVED BY
CONGRESS IF NO CORRESPONDING APPROPRIATION FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE IS
PROVIDED IN THIS ACT." (Page 1166).
I am vetoing this provision for the reason that it violates Sec. 25
(5) of Article VI of the Constitution in relation to Section s 44 and 45
of P. D. No. 1177 as amended by R. A. No. 6670 which authorizes the
President to use savings to augment any item of appropriations in the
Executive Branch of the Government.
Parenthetically, there is a case pending in the Supreme Court relative
to validity of the President's veto on Sec. 55 of the General
Provisions of Republic Act No. 6688 upon which the amendment on this
Section was based.nclusion, therefore, of the proviso and the last
sentence of this section might prejudice the Executive Branch's
position in the case.
Moreover, if allowed, this Section would nullify not only the
constitutional and statutory authority of the President, but also that
of the officials enumerated under Sec. 25 (5) of Article VI of the
Constitution, to augment any item in the general appropriations law for
their respective offices from savings in other items of their
respective appropriations.
An unwanted consequence of this provision would be the inability of the
President, the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the heads
of Constitutional Commissions to augment any item of appropriation of
their respective offices from savings in other items of their
respective appropriations even in cases of national emergency or in the
event of urgent need to accelerate the implementation of essential
public services and infrastructure projects.
"Sec. 61. Disauthorizing Payment of the Philippine
Nuclear Plant Loan. — ANY AND ALL PAYMENTS FOR THE BALANCE THAT MAY
STILL BE DUE OR SOUGHT TO BE COLLECTED FROM THE REPUBLIC OF THE
PHILIPPINES ON THE LOANS CONNECTED WITH THE PHILIPPINE NUCLEAR POWER
PLANT ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISAUTHORIZED, ALL LAWS AND ISSUANCES TO THE
CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING." (Page 1175).
I am vetoing this Section for the reason that it may be viewed as a
manifestation of bad faith on the part of the Philippine Government and
may send the wrong signal to our foreign creditors. Besides, this could
prejudice the on-going negotiations for "debt reduction" and imperil
the "debt-buy-back program" of the Government. Furthermore, this may
adversely affect our pending case on the Philippine Nuclear Power
Plant.
This Bill has become Republic Act No. 6831.
Respectfully,
CORAZON C. AQUINO
