Assistant City Administrator for Finance Don Javillonar said the city government has"veered away" from the practice of prioritizing infrastructure. Social services, which include financial assistance for fire victims, burial, and healthcare, among others, got a 32% increase in 2020, or to P12.3 billion from P8.4 billion allocation in 2019.
Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte kept her promise of raising medical assistance from P3,000 to P5,000, and raising the city government's burial assistance from P10,000 to P25,000.
