The government might look into the “legalities

” of the proposal to extend free water, power, and rent services for middle-income families during the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon, according to a Palace official.Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles acknowledged that water and electricity are considered public utilities, but the payment for these services involve private transactions.

“Ayaw ko pong pangunahan ang grupo na binuo ni Pangulong Duterte para pag-aralan kung anong mga benepisyo ang maaari nating ibigay sa ating mga middle income earners,” Nograles said. ”So hindi kayo papasok dito sa emergency subsidy kasi batas po ito eh and obviously executive can only work with what Congress gives us, sa executive,” he said.

“Iyong para sa mga mahihirap, marginalized na informal sector workers, sila po sa Social Amelioration Program po sila. ‘Yung sa middle income or middle class po natin, ibang programa po iyon. So hiwalay po, kaya hindi maaapektuhan iyong budget natin para sa ating mga mahihirap na kababayan,” he said.
