The
opposition seems to be not putting any breaks anytime soon as they continue to
criticize the Duterte administration every chance they have.
Bayan
Muna partylist has disputed in public the assertion of President Rodrigo Roa
Duterte on the issue on the lack of government funds needed for the continuing
battle against the novel coronavirus 2019 disease or Covid-19.
Rep.
Carlos Zarate and chair Neri Colmenares insists that the President
needs to just look at the 2020 budget. And that the delays on the much needed
social amelioration programs are not due to budgetary shortage, as the recently
signed Republic Act No. 11469 or the
Bayanihan to Heal as One Act has given Duterte powers to tap into the items in
the budget.

Rather,
both Zarate and Colmenares said that it is due to Duterte’s and his
administration’s inefficiency.
“It is not true that the reason for the confusion and the failure
to give financial assistance to people is because there are no funds. He
promised us that he will be able to get all the funds, if we give him emergency
powers through the Bayanihan Law. But until now, many are still left without
help from government,” Zarate said in a statement on Tuesday.
“There are billions in the budget that are yet untapped which were
actually contained in his Report but President Duterte is very slow and
inefficient in tapping these funds,” he added.
Bayan Muna chair claims that the Chief Executive was just playing
the public acting to be pitiful in saying here were items in the 2020 budget
that may be used to source the P270 billion fund.
“It is not true that there are no funds to support the Php 270
Billion outlay for the amelioration fund. Nagpapaawa lang sya kunyari para
matabunan ang kapalpakan nya (He is just making himself look pitiful to cover
up for his shortcomings),” Colmenares explained.
