Palace: Comelec-Budget office row will be resolved

A MALACANANG official expressed confidence the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the Commission on Elections (Comelec) will be able to resolve disagreements over the poll body’s allocation next year.
Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said it is a “rare event” that an office under the Executive Department fails to come to an agreement with an independent branch of government.
“Yes, we are confident that it will be solved. In fact, last week, budget officials of the Comelec and budget officials of the DBM met to start reconciling and addressing the concerns of the Comelec,” she said Sunday.
Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes earlier complained about the significant slash in the poll body’s budget – from P24-billion to P8 billion – in the proposed national budget for 2013, an election year.
He threatened to resign especially that the Comelec will be forced to revert to manual counting of votes because of the budget.
Budget Secretary Florencio Abad earlier said that the poll body has enough savings to fund the automated elections.
Amid the issue, President Benigno Aquino III had said he is willing to serve as referee in a dialogue between the two officials.
Valte said the Executive branch has shown in the past its willingness to resolve differences with other independent commissions, citing budgetary issue with the judiciary.
Last year, the DBM forged a memorandum of agreement with the judiciary, granting it special allowances to augment salaries of its employees.
Should the DBM and Comelec fail to agree on the issue, Valte said the poll body could seek help from Congress.
“In the rare events that they will not be able to come to an agreement, then the Comelec can always go to Congress and ask for additional budget when they hold budget hearing,” she said.
