The break will allow lawmakers seeking reelection to file their candidacies for the 2025 polls.
"The government's spending plan for 2025 will take priority when senators resume session on Nov. 4," Escudero said. "Our target is to pass the budget early to give the President ample time to review it."
The House of Representatives will also use the break as an opportunity to print the approved version of the General Appropriations Bill (GAB) and transmit it to the Senate.
Sen. Grace Poe, chair of the Senate committee on finance, said that based on the schedule agreed with the House, the transmittal of the GAB is on Oct. 25.
