MANILA, Philippines — The Senate unanimously ratified Monday the bicameral conference committee’s report on the proposed P2.606-trillion national budget for 2015.

No member of the Senate objected when Senator Francis Escudero, chairman of the Senate committee on finance, moved for the approval of the bicameral report.

Both the Senate and the House of Representatives should ratify the report before it is submitted to President Benigno Aquino III for signature.
