Internet reports that Philippine Senator Bam Aquino hopes to connect his country's national budget to the blockchain platform, which he said will allow every peso expenditure to be tracked by the public. "No one will rashly connect their own transactions to the blockchain-on the blockchain, every operating step is recorded and open and transparent to all people. But we hope to start this attempt." Aquino said this in a statement at the Manila Science and Technology Summit held on Wednesday. "If we can proceed successfully, I think we will become the first country to achieve a national budget chain." Aquino added that he was not yet sure what level of support he would receive.
