The Senate minority leader says the only way to provide funds for the proposed Bayanihan to Arise as One Act or Bayanihan 3 is through realigning some items under the 2021 budget.

Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon is pushing for realignments in the 2021 budget as lawmakers work on passing another COVID-19 stimulus package that is also facing funding issues.

"Our analysis of the budget would indicate that there are number of projects which you can defer to next year and use the funds for the items that would basically provide assistance," he explained, adding that the current budget"was not crafted in response to the pandemic." Drilon also said some assets can also disposed of like the Bilibid prison, while military camps in Metro Manila can be moved so these assets may be used to generate additional cash.

The Labor Department will be given ₱25 billion to help displaced workers and ₱20 billion for wage subsidies, while some P30 billion will be set aside for the agriculture sector.

Congress can call for special audit of NTF-ELCAC funds, Drilon saysIndeed audit!!!! How can the spend billions in less than a month. Daming powers ng Senado, investigator, prosecutor, judge.. Pati auditor pala sila na rin. Kaya daming may gusto mag senador/politiko. Pag daming trabaho, daming pera din. Why is Drilon against NTF-ELCAC? Is he a supporter of the CPP NDF NPA, which is an illegal terror organization and enemy of the state, whose ultimate objective is to overthrow the government through armed rebellion?
