Speaking before members of the Congressional Spouses Foundation Incorporated, Cayetano slammed the"fake news" of a certain blogger who allegedly said the proposed P1.6 billion was only meant for the 22 House deputy speakers in the 18th Congress. The Taguig-Pateros congressman also said that should the 5th tranche of the Salary Standardization Law push through, the House would need more funds so it could properly give congressional workers the salary increase that they should be receiving.
