President Duterte agreed with Cavite Governor Jonvic Remulla that those belonging to the middle class should also be included in the government’s social amelioration program during the Luzon-wide quarantine period.
“The point raised by Governor Remulla of Cavite, I think, is valid. We’ll try to remedy whatever kung may mapulot pa tayo sa daan ,” he said. Duterte called on Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez to find ways to get more money to help the people during the quarantine period.“I’m calling on the Secretary of Finance to generate—magnakaw ka, maghiram ka, wala akong pakialam, i-produce mo ‘yung pera kasi ‘pag naubos na ito… Hindi ko malaman,” he added.
“As governor, I am respectfully asking that you consider them to be part of the social amelioration program. They may not get as much as the poorest of the poor, but please consider their welfare,” he said.
