House members do Duterte fist after passing nat’l budget, CHR’s P1,000 outlay


 


Members of the House of Representatives on Tuesday posed with President Rodrigo Duterte's signature fist after the chamber approved on second reading the P3.767-trillion national budget for 2018.

One of the provisions of the proposed General Appropriations Bill was the allocation of only P1,000 for the Commission on Human Rights, which Duterte has repeatedly criticized for supposedly getting in the way of police operations against illegal drugs. —NB, GMA News
