“Where does the people’s money go?”
The national budget shapes public services, communities, and everyday Filipino lives—yet many remain unaware of how it is planned, spent, or monitored.
Join the Socioeconomic Research Portal for the Philippines for its 11th Knowledge-Sharing forum titled “People’s Budget: Tracking Transparency and Accountability” on December 2, 2025 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 NN.
Learn from experts as they break down:
✔️ how the national budget works
✔️ issues in budget utilization and fiscal governance
✔️ transparency tools and accountability mechanisms
✔️ how citizens and communities can help monitor public funds
This forum is part of SERP-P’s 25th Anniversary celebration, with the theme, “25 Years of Open Access: Advancing Policy Research for Transparent Governance.” Be part of this important conversation on how we can make the people’s budget truly work for the people.
Onsite participation is by invitation only, but the session will be livestreamed via the PIDS and SERP-P Facebook pages.
