Malacañang on Tuesday branded as “premature” the proposal to pass a third Bayanihan Law to address the economic impact of coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque issued the statement after Marikina City Rep. Stella Luz Quimbo urged fellow lawmakers to enact a Bayanihan 3 to support Filipinos and sectors affected by the economic disruptions caused by the virus.
“Tingan muna natin, gaya ng sinabi ni [Finance] Secretary [Carlos] Dominguez [III], kung anong lalabas dito sa budget na binubuo ngayon sa Kongreso. Kung merong kakulangan, pupuwede naman magpapasa uli ng Bayanihan 3m” Roque said during his virtual presser.
“Pero sa ngayon ay premature pa yan dahil hindi pa natin nakikita kung ano ang magiging anyo at ano ang mangayayri doon sa proposed budget 2021.
“Baka naman kung napaloob na yan sa 2021 budget hindi na po kakailanganin ng Bayanihan 3. Tingnan po muna natin,” he added.
Congress earlier passed the Bayanihan 1 and 2 to allow the Duterte administration to expedite the implementation of measures to address the Covid-19 pandemic.
