Estrada, Chairperson of Finance Sub-Committee B, secured a ₱75.28-million budget for the MTRCB, a 68.61% increase from the current year’s appropriations. The increase aims to boost employee productivity and enable the agency to more effectively fulfill its mandate. He also garnered strong support from his Senate colleagues for the ₱367.34-million budget for the FDCP, which is ₱58 million higher than what was originally proposed under the National Expenditure Program (NEP). Estrada said the Senate-approved increase will fund the ₱38-million requirement for the Philippine Film Heritage Building and provide ₱20 million in support for Cinemalaya.
