Duterte says not enough gov't funds in battle vs COVID19
MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday said the Philippines does not have enough funds to respond to the crisis brought by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
"I would like to be honest. The P100 billion per month, P300 bilion 'yun...Ang P100 billion budget or P270 billion for two months as their estimate, hindi talaga tatagal 'yan," he said."Your money, money ko, money ng mga sino ang may deposito sa bangko, 'pag ginastos ko 'yan, mauubos talaga 'yan. Wala namang kita eh, puro bigay na lang," he added.
"To my brothers and sisters, especially those who have more in life baka makatulong kayo sa pag-extend ng financial assistance. Kung hindi mo masyado kailangan at alam mo na may nagugutom, ibigay mo na lang para hanggang maubos ang, may border 'yan eh. Tulong mo hanggang diyan. Ang gobyerno ganyan eh," he said.
