Senator Risa Hontiveros on Wednesday called for a proper audit of the funds and the special powers given to President Duterte under the Bayanihan To Heal As One Act.

This should be done before the passage of the proposed “Bayanihan to Recover as One” bill which Congress is now rushing to pass into law before Congress’ adjournment, Hontiveros said.

“We should have established sufficient infrastructure and mustered enough human resources to adequately respond to this health crisis. However, this is clearly not the case,” she said. Hontiveros, likewise, called out the Department of Health for failing to present to the public comprehensive, reliable and accurate data on the pandemic.

“How can we trust the government to judiciously use public funds if there are people who have no conscience and is using the pandemic for profiteering?” she lamented. “To my mind…the proposed Bayanihan to Recover as One bill, as it is, will not provide reassurance—neither on the challenge of keeping the health epidemic curve flat nor on the challenge of keeping the economic epidemic curve flat,” she pointed out.
