University of the Philippines Diliman(UPD)

Good evening! I am writing  to personally request for information regarding UP Diliman's general consolidated budget, along with a general appropriations breakdown. 

We're asking for the data given 2 reasons: first, to assist local college councils, and the general UP Diliman system, in gathering a university-specific overview of the university's budgeted expenditures for historically, and for the year, and second to assist student councils, local college administrators, and additional student formations in planning their projects and forwarding college requests for the upcoming fiscal year.
