House Majority Leader and Leyte 1st District Rep. Martin Romualdez said on Sunday that the 301-man Lower Chamber will prioritize the approval of the passage of the 2021 national budget and coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) roadmap for recovery

Romualdez said this will likely serve as a “stimulus budget” to revive the economy amid the gripping COVID-19 pandemic.

“It is expected to hear from him the next steps to bring our country forward in the wake of the economic devastation caused by the pandemic. We are faced with a heavy task ahead but we are confident that, under President [Rodrigo] Duterte’s leadership, we are going to survive this ordeal and come out stronger and wiser as a nation,” Romualdez said.

“I hope the President sets a clear policy direction on COVID-19 and economic stimulus. The world is learning that you need to do whatever it takes, and spend whatever it takes, to prevent people from falling into abject poverty, and to prevent businesses from completely shuttering,” Salceda said. AKO BICOL partylist Rep. Afredo Garbin Jr. also urged the President to take up in his SONA “a clearer policy direction” in the fight against the COVID pandemic.
