ConclusionsThere is a constant increase in public expenditures caused by continuous expansion and improvement of governments function and services.

Urbanization, growing population and changing economic needs of the people incur more expenses in the government.

The distribution of public expending in different sectors reflects the priorities of every administration.

Different reduction measures such as streamlining of the bureaucracy are implemented to reduce the budget deficit. However, the number of employees continued to grow since the government’s function is expanding.

RecommendationsUnnecessary spending should be eliminated so that funds will be diverted to more important services.

Vigilant implementation of existing fiscal policies that will result in the elimination of corrupt practices in the government.

Strict monitoring of the spending practices of the different operating units. This will make sure that only lawful and important purchases and disbursements are done.

Total IncomeTotal ExpendituresSurplus (Deficit)

Fidel V. Ramos (1992 – 1997)

Fidel V. Ramos (1992 – 1997)

Budget surpluses are experienced due to substantial gains from massive sale of government assets and strong foreign investments

Joseph Ejercito Estrada (1998 – 2000)

Joseph Ejercito Estrada (1998 – 2000)

Increasing financial deficits occur during the Estrada administration due to decrease in tax effort and repayment of the Ramos administration’s debt to contractors and suppliers

Gloria Macapagal – Arroyo (2001 – 2009)

Gloria Macapagal – Arroyo (2001 – 2009)

Income and expenditure are both increasing and there are still large fiscal deficits. This occurrence is attributed to weakening of tax effort and rising of debt services due to peso depreciation.

Benigno S. Aquino III (2010 – 2011)

Benigno S. Aquino III (2010 – 2011)

There is a significant decrease on the deficit since there is a strengthening campaign on tax collection. Fiscal discipline to state owned firms and anti-corruption campaign during Aquino’s administration could be credited.
