“Marami tayong naririnig na reklamo na hindi umano natanggap ng mga taong dapat ay kwalipikadong makakuha ng cash assistance na pinayagan ng Kongreso sa ilalim ng Bayanihan Act,” he stated.
“Kaya ang tanong natin ngayon, sino-sino na ba ang nabigyan ng gobyerno? Bakit marami ang nagrereklamong hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa nila nakukuha ang ayuda na nakasaad sa batas?” Sotto, meanwhile, stated that in the latest report submitted by President Rodrigo Duterte to Congress, it was only mentioned that the DSWD disbursed P80 million of the P100 billion allotted SAP for the month of April.

Kulang sa detalye ang ipinasang report sa Kongreso, ” he stated.Luzon, as well as other areas, are now under an enhanced community quarantine as cases of the coronavirus disease continue to soar.
