House Majority Leader and Rules Committee Chair Manuel Jose "Mannix" Dalipe on Friday said utilizing the various teams that he created to manage the flow of deliberations in the plenary, the House has approved the budget of a total of 54 departments, attached agencies, and constitutional bodies, failing only to act on budget of four agencies. "The implementation of schedules and the flow of the plenary discussion has been executed flawlessly by our team of deputies in the Rules Committee and the Committee on Appropriations. I see longer and more heated discussions on the budget of some agencies this week but it is nothing we cannot handle. I'm confident we will terminate all debates by Sept. 28 and approve the budget bill
