Pres. Duterte may align Funds vs. Covid19,says Driton
Answers
Answer:
President Rodrigo Duterte may still reallocate public funds for the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic despite the failure of Congress to pass the measure that would have replaced the law that granted him special fiscal powers, Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon said on Friday.
Drilon issued the statement after Republic Act No. 11469, or the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act, expired on Friday as both the Senate and House of Representatives adjourned the first regular session of the 18th Congress without passing a new law.
On Wednesday, the senators approved on second reading Senate Bill No. 1564, or the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act, that contained a P140-billion economic stimulus package for various sectors deflated by the contagion.
The chamber, however, failed to pass it on third reading after Malacañang opted not to certify it as urgent, which would have allowed the Senate to skip the three-day period of approving a pending bill on third and last reading..
