2022 budget not for candidates' pockets: Drilon

MANILA - Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon on Wednesday said the 2022 national budget should provide the country "much-needed impetus for economic recovery" as next year's elections loom.

He noted more than 4 million Filipinos are also currently unemployed even as the country experiences rising prices of basic goods, a slumped economy and rise in bankrupt small businesses. President Rodrigo Duterte has allowed up to 100 public schools and 20 private schools to join the pilot run, the first in a three-phased plan to gradually reopen schools and resume in-person classes. It will cover students in Kindergarten, Grades 1 to 3, and Senior High School.

Senator Panfilo Lacson meanwhile raised the attention on the DOH’s reported failure to distribute its P95 million worth of medicines and other supplies which are now about to expire.

Himala gising si Drilon 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Puede ba yon ‘no? 🙄 🇵🇭 senate and congress 👇
