Sen. Imee Marcos said Tuesday the implementation of the Mandanas ruling, which entitles local governments to a share of all national taxes, could have helped low-class towns prepare better for Typhoon Odette.

The 2018 Supreme Court ruling increases the internal revenue allotment of local governments by 55 percent in the 2022 budget.

"I'm very very perplexed, wala bang Viber group ang ating Cabinet kasi we hear the President talk about federalism and decentralizing imperial Manila and yet the economic managers have fought the Mandanas ruling every step of the way," Marcos said. Economic managers had "pushed back" the implementation of the ruling "until 2022, basically kicking the can down the road to the next administration," Marcos said.
