The government has yet to utilize some P18 billion in funds for the Philippine COVID-19 response under the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act (Bayanihan 2) that will expire by the end of the month, Malacañang confirmed on Monday.

Quoting the budget department, Palace spokesman Harry Roque said P123.2 billion or 87.01 percent of the Bayanihan 2 funds have been "obligated."

He warned that when the legislated funding expires on June 30, so would the budget for COVID-19 contact tracers hired under Bayanihan 2, among others. "We respect po the wisdom of Congress dahil sila naman po talaga ang nagbibigay ng polisiya ," he added.
