The Senate will make its best effort to finish discussing the proposed
“Bayanihan to Recover as One” Act and pass it before they adjourn sessions this week, Senate President.Sotto said this as members of the Upper Chamber resumed on Tuesday, June 2, their deliberation on Senate Bill No. 1564, or the Bayanihan 2, which seeks to grant President Duterte continued special powers to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and additional spending authority to finance programs supporting affected sectors.
Zubiri, who earlier said that Malacañang will issue a certification for the Bayanihan 2, said the executive department still wants the extension of the powers granted to the President under the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act to prepare for a possible second wave. It also includes cash assistance to teachers, faculty members and non-teaching personnel in private basic and tertiary schools and state universities and colleges
Zubiri said the Senate, anyway, could easily approve the bill on second and third reading on Wednesday, June 3, once the certification is released.
