	GR No. 209287 2014-07-01	MARIA CAROLINA P. ARAULLO v. BENIGNO SIMEON C. AQUINO III BERSAMIN, J.
The concept of budgeting has not been the product of recent economies. In reality, financing public goals and activities was an idea that existed from the creation of the State.[55] To protect the people, the territory and sovereignty of the State, its government must perform vital functions that required public expenditures. At the beginning, enormous public expenditures were spent for war activities, preservation of peace and order, security, administration of justice, religion, and supply of limited goods and services.[56] In order to finance those expenditures, the State raised revenues through taxes and impositions.[57] Thus, budgeting became necessary to allocate public revenues for specific government functions.[58] The State's budgeting mechanism eventually developed through the years with the growing functions of its government and changes in its market economy.

We abandoned the requirement introduced in Ang Bagong Bayani that all party-list groups should prove that they represent a "marginalized" or "under-represented" sector.
