Even if it occurs, a special session to pass a measure to address the effects of COVID-19 would be useless if the Department of Health’s leadership remains incompetent, Sen. Panfilo Lacson said late Friday.
Lacson warned of a Sisyphus-like situation so long as the DOH is incompetently led and the health issue cannot be addressed appropriately.
“Worse, we will just be throwing away our country’s very limited resources that could bring us neck-deep in debt with no solution in sight,” he said.
“It’s bad enough that we will be forced to scrounge and even borrow just to augment our already limited funds. It’s infuriating if we lose it all – and more – to incompetence,” he added.
Earlier, Lacson said it would be best for the Executive Department and Congress to first agree on a mutually acceptable legislative measure before calling a special session.
“That way, we won’t be wasting our time,” he said.
