SECRETARY Manuel Roxas 2nd of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) is willing to give up the proposed P5.6-billion budget for grassroots infrastructure projects that an opposition lawmaker claims is his campaign kitty.

Alliance of Concerned Teachers Rep. Antonio Tinio has said the allocation for the Grassroots Participatory Budgeting (GPB) program in the DILG appropriations is meant to fund Roxas’ presumed presidential bid in 2016.
