In a phone interview with CDN Digital, Garcia said that the delay in the passing of the P3.3 billion SB3 is attributed to the long discussions of the City Council regarding the barangay situation updates of the pandemic. On Monday, June 15, 2020, Garcia said the committee on budget and finance, which he also chairs, would tackle the specifics of SB3 with the city’s Local Finance and Budget Office.
Mayor Edgardo Labella said in recent statements that the SB 3 should be passed as soon as possible as it contains the hazard pay for the city’s frontliners and the budget for the second tranche of aid to the most affected residents during the ongoing pandemic.
