sbet SC asks gov’t to comment on petition vs 2025 budget

Japan pulled the plug on nuclear power after the 2011 Fukushima disaster, but with the G7’s dirtiest energy mix, it is seeking to cut emissions, and atomic energy is making a steady comeback, in part because of AI.

Google was pleased by federal judge James Donato’s decision to “temporarily pause the implementation of dangerous remedies demanded by Epic,” a company spokesperson said, as an appeals court considers permanently blocking the order stemming from Epic’s argument that the tech titan’s Android Play store is an illegal monopoly.

MANILA, Philippines – The Supreme Court (SC) has asked the executive and legislative branches of government to comment on the petition challenging the constitutionality of Republic Act 12116 or the General Appropriations Act of 2025.

They raised several violations of the Constitution with the approval of the 2025 budget including the supposed blank items in the bicameral conference committee report of the spending plan.

The petitioners said the Bicameral Committee Report showed several blanks, particularly the budget allocations for the  National Irrigation Administration (NIA), the Department of Agriculture, and the Philippine Coconut Authority.

“The Bicameral Conference Committee committed grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess jurisdiction when it signed the committee report on 2025 National Budget filled with blanks,” they said.
