Duterte set to sign Bayanihan 2 into law after inter-agency consultation
According to Presidential spokesman Harry Roque, the President is expected to act on Bayanihan 2 as soon as the ongoing consultation with various government agencies is completed.
“Alam ninyo, kaya natatagalan nang kaunti, at hindi pa naman mahabang panahon ang lumipas, kinukunsulta ang mga ahensiya ng gobyerno na mayroong stake sa bayanihan 2 bill. ‘Yun lang ang ordinaryong proseso but I can assure you, kapag natapos ang consultation na ito ay pipirmahan ‘yan ng Presidente dahil hiningi naman yan ng Presidente sa Kongreso rin ,” Roque said during a televised press briefing Monday.
The two houses of Congress recently ratified the measure that includes a P165-billion stimulus package. The stimulus bill, a priority measure of the administration, consists of P140 billion in regular appropriations and P25 billion in standby funds.
