Government financial accountability

Follow the money — stage by stage.

How much was proposed, approved, released, committed and actually paid out? This dashboard keeps each stage of the budget cycle separate, and never treats an institution's budget as money personally controlled by an official.

Revenue

Where the money comes from

BIR tax collections

Where the money comes from — total collections by year

BetterGov.ph Transparency, from BIR

About these figures

GAA amounts come from DBM's General Appropriations Act extracts as compiled by BetterGov.ph (public domain). DPWH figures are contract amounts from DPWH's Transparency Portal, not payments. BIR figures are total collections reported by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Each stage of the budget cycle is kept separate below.
Important distinction

Five numbers that are often confused

News stories and campaign claims often mix these up. Every figure on this platform is labeled with its stage.

01
Proposed

The executive's budget request (National Expenditure Program, or the local chief executive's executive budget). Not yet law.

02
Approved allocation (appropriation)

The amount the legislature authorized in the GAA or appropriation ordinance — the legal ceiling on spending.

03
Allotment

Authorization issued by DBM (or the local budget office) allowing an agency to incur obligations up to a specific amount.

04
Obligation

A commitment to pay, e.g. a signed contract or purchase order.

05
Actual disbursement

Cash actually paid out.

Local governments

Provincial, city & municipal budgets

Local government budgets are not yet connected
Provincial, city, municipal and barangay budgets are published by the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF) and in each LGU's Full Disclosure Policy postings. They will be imported from those official sources — no estimates are shown.
