A SENATOR has filed a resolution seeking to assess the implementation of the New Government Procurement Act to safeguard transparency and integrity of public funds usage.

In the Senate Resolution 336 filed on March 9, Finance Committee Chairman Sherwin T. Gatchalian stressed the need to probe the New Government Procurement Act which has been enacted in 2024.

“The objective is clear; to strengthen transparency and improve the monitoring of funds for infrastructure projects,” Mr. Gatchalian said in a mix of Filipino and English in a press statement.

Mr. Gatchalian noted in the resolution that the Government Procurement Policy Board must be assessed before the compliance deadline on May 15, 2028.

This is to ensure that the new procurement operations under Republic Act No. 12009 are being followed by agencies and bureaus.

“A transparent, effective and efficient government procurement system ensures that public funds are spent judiciously in order to maximize value for money in the delivery of public service and enhances accountability in the use of public funds,” the resolution read.

The resolution, according to Mr. Gatchalian, follows the controversies in the use of public funds as seen in anomalous flood control projects, which erupted mid-2025 when the government flagged 421 projects to be nonexistent.

As of January, 14 of these have been confirmed by the Department of Justice to be ghost projects. — Kaela Patricia B. Gabriel

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
