The Disbursement Acceleration Program in the Philippines is a "special" budget allocated to accelerate or hasten a government project without Congress or Senate's approval.
During President Benigno Aquino III's term, he instituted budget reforms, as opposed to Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's style of spending funds.
Due to the reforms, he reduced funds in some, added a little in some, and the rest is reserved for emergencies like disasters and crisis management and foreign debts and deficits.
In order to solve the problem, the President, along with his budget secretary and fellow Liberal party member Florencio Abad, instituted a program that accelerates fund spending in all public works and agencies badly needing funds.
The Supreme Court ruled that the DAP, along with the Pork Barrel, are unconstitutional and must be discontinued.
