The mayor said that he will be submitting a proposal for a supplemental budget in the coming days to City Council because the current P1 billion budget is simply not enough.
The city has allotted P1 billion for typhoon response, but all of these have been allocated in financial aid to affected households, rice aid, and agricultural aid for farmers. “If another typhoon will come, I don’t want to want to look at the water again as a problem. I would be begging on bended knees to the President, give us the assistance. So we can pursue with clarity and certainty, the so-called dam,” said Rama.
Yet for now, the focus would be direct aid to the affected residents, thus, the supplemental budget. The mayor cannot yet give an exact amount for this budget, but he plans to hand in the proposal to the council soon.
