WikiBudget Act (Proposed)

A Law Institutionalizing a Wikipedia-Style Platform for National and Local Budget Drafting

The WikiBudget Act creates a public, Wikipedia-style digital platform where citizens, civil society groups, and government agencies can collaboratively propose, track, and refine budget allocations for the General Appropriations Act (GAA), national agencies, and local government units (LGUs). All edits and discussions will be transparently recorded and visible to the public.

This platform shall be governed by an independent oversight board composed of representatives from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Commission on Audit (COA), civil society, and academic institutions. Users must register with verified identities to ensure accountability while enabling meaningful participation.

The WikiBudget Act empowers ordinary citizens to take part in shaping how public funds are allocated, promoting fiscal transparency, participatory governance, and national education on how money is spent. It transforms budget planning into a collaborative civic duty instead of a closed-door process.

Originality Verification Reward

To uphold the integrity and originality of this initiative, I am offering a ₱550 or $10 reward to anyone who can prove that any proposed bill on this site is at least 80% similar to an existing law enacted on or before May 23, 2025. This reward system reflects my commitment to transparency and invites public scrutiny to help refine and improve these legislative ideas for the nation.

To participate, simply create a public post on Facebook comparing the proposed bill with the existing law you believe it resembles. Include clear points of comparison, such as purpose, scope, and legal mechanisms, and tag my name: Jonelle Peter Muñoz. This makes the process transparent and allows both the public and myself to fairly assess the claim.
