According to the DBM, government agencies disbursed P423.8 billion, marking a 21.4% increase from the P349.1 billion spent in November of the previous year. This uptick in spending was attributed to the catch-up plans of various agencies, particularly in infrastructure projects, which saw a significant rise in disbursements. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) was highlighted for its substantial contribution to this increase, with its spending jumping by 40.7% to P108.5 billion. Additionally, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) also played a role with a 22.6% increase in its disbursements.
