MANILA - Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon on Wednesday quizzed Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr.
MANILA - Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon on Wednesday quizzed Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. on why he prefers to increase teachers' supplies allowance to only P5,000 when the Senate can instead push for a bill that would give a P20,000 grant for educators.
"Are we saying we cannot fund P17 billion? Are the President's confidential and intelligence fund a priority?" Drilon said. Drilon said the bill should mandate the executive branch to include the teachers' allowance for supplies in the annual budget at a fixed price.
