On to the third week of
the enhanced community quarantine, a lot has been happening with the
government, a lot of attention has been geared in stopping the spreading of the
novel coronavirus 2019 diseases or COVID-19.
Senator Panfilo “Ping”
Lacson has been specially outspoken during the implementation of the Luzon
lockdown that in his Twitter last April 1 he tweeted: “As things are turning
out, COVID-19 is not the worst virus in our country. There are some that are
worse. Unfortunately, they make decisions,”
In a released statement, Senator
Lacson, as part of Joint Congressional Oversight Committee, gave
comments/recommendations on the President’s first weekly report to Congress as
mandated by RA 11469.

One recommendation from Lacson is
“there must be an overall plan by the Executive Department to mitigate the
risks and minimizing or stopping the spread of COVID-19, including a detailed
presentation of how funds will be disbursed and used by the implementing
agencies.”
Lacson also said that “the
Executive Department should provide Congress with a clearer picture of the
COVID-19 situation and a progress update of implementation such as how many
have been tested, number of displaced families and workers per region, and its
impact on the country’s economy, including the steps undertaken to adapt to the
developing situation, in its next report.”
Senator Ping also said “the
immediate implementation of the Bayanihan Act’s provision on the Special
Risk Allowance granted to public health workers, on top of their regular
hazard pay, and other benefits to both public and private health workers,
especially to benefit those already infected or have died in the line of duty
must be prioritized.”
