Atty. Salvador Panelo made it simple for the
government critics to understand - the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19)
pandemic should not bring government projects to a halt.
The Chief Presidential Legal Counsel defended
the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in the Manila Bay
“white sand” project telling critics who questioned its timing that it has been
on the pipeline and has already been allotted with funds a year before the
health crisis started.
Panelo said the government has allocated enough
funds for the COVID-19 health crisis through the soon-to-be signed Bayanihan to
Recover as One Act or Bayanihan 2 bill.

“Meron na ngang budget dati dun,
meron din tayong budget sa Covid-19 (There has been a budget
allocated for the project, there’s also a budget for Covid-19,” he said in an exclusive
interview over PTV-4.
Panelo explains that all government agencies
are doing their part in relation to their respective mandates.
“Yung iba, siyempre kung ano ang trabaho nila
‘yun yung gagampanan nila (The other agencies, whatever their job is,
that’s what they’ll perform),” he said.
The DENR is the lead agency in charge of the Manila
Bay white sand project, is in charge of assuring the sustainability of the
country’s natural resources.
Panelo, however, pointed out that it was also DENR Secretary
Roy Cimatu the point person who was assigned by President Rodrigo Duterte to
oversee the Covid-19 response in Cebu.
“Sa madaling sabi, mag-mu-multitasking tayo (In
other words, we have to multitask),” he said.
The public, he said, will have to live with
Covid-19 by following minimum health and safety protocols until a vaccine is
made available.
“Whether we like it or not, it’s there. Hindi
pupuwedeng tayong kadenahan nito, maging sagabal sa ating ginagawa sa
araw-araw. Hindi pupuwede yung takot mangibabaw sa’tin na hindi na tayo
makagalaw (It should not chain us, it should not hinder our daily
activities. We cannot allow fear to prevent us from doing anything),” he said.
