菲律宾《论坛报》29日称，2025年第四季度接连不断的政治动荡为这一年画上句号。反腐败抗议于9月 和11月爆发，随后领导层更迭。前公共工程和公路部高官卡布拉尔的辞职及随后离世，更令这段时期蒙 上阴霾。 【环球时报综合报道】菲律宾国会29日批准并通过了2026年一般拨款法案，其中包含6.793万亿比索的 2026年度国家预算。据菲律宾《宿务每日新闻》报道，预计总统马科斯将在2026年1月的第一周签署该 法案，使其正式成为法律。 菲律宾国会在当日的新闻稿中称，2026年预算案优先考虑的一些领域是卫生和农业。这些优先领域的资 金增加来自公共工程和公路部2026年预算提案的削减——此前该部门因防洪工程腐败问题，其预算被调 整。此外，预算案首次为教育部门提供相当于占菲国内生产总值（GDP）4.1%的资金支持，超过国际 基准。 《菲律宾每日问询者报》称，今年的预算审议过程进行了直播，这是对防洪项目丑闻的回应。不过，这 并不能保证最终的结果没有任何人为干预，这需要在实施层面持续观察。有批评者认为，这些拨款可能 被滥用，因此迫切需要为相关项目建立问责机制。 菲律宾《马尼拉时报》29日称，2025年是马科斯执政的第三年，其总统 ...
