De Lima: Gov’t must be transparent on how it spends funds for COVID-19 response

“Ang gusto nating malaman: Ang pondo bang ginagamit ay mula sa donasyon o sa utang? Ano ang suma-tutal ng mga donasyon? Magkano ang kabuuang inutang at anu-ano ang mga terms and conditions nito? Anu-ano ang mga nire-align na pondo mula sa Pambansang Budget?” De Lima, chair of the Senate committee on social justice, welfare and rural development, added., P335.1 billion had been released to seal with COVID-19. Of the amount, P199.

De Lima also cited data from the Bureau of Treasury, which shows government borrowings skyrocketing to“Given all these figures, we are still left in the dark with regards to how the government is handling the funds to address the health and socioeconomic crises brought about by COVID-19, considering that many Filipinos from the vulnerable sectors continue to struggle with surviving their day-to-day lives because of the pandemic,” De Lima said.

Previously, the opposition senator noted that the DSWD had failed to distribute the first tranche of SAP to 291,722 poor families, thereby missing its own adjusted target of aiding almost 18 million impoverished households. With this, De Lima said a detailed government report on COVID-19 response spending is needed to “address possible corruption amid the pandemic.”“Bilyon-bilyong piso ang pinag-uusapan dito—pera ng bayan na inilaan para tugunan ang pangangailangan ng mga sektor na labis na naapetukhan ng krisis. Dapat hayag sa publiko ang bawat sentimong nilalabas, ginagastos, o pinamimigay. Bawal ang hokus-pokus!” she said.
