Given the ongoing pandemic and the emergence of new strains of Covid-19 in other countries, Senator Bong Go said legislators and finance managers are studying the possibility of another measure to strengthen the country’s response and recovery efforts.
After the passage of the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act and the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act this year, Go said that there may be a need for a “Bayanihan 3” to further assist vulnerable sectors.
That would include “those who have lost their jobs as well as previously locally stranded individuals who have returned to their provinces and are seeking economic opportunities.”
“Kung may pera po, possible ‘yan (Bayanihan 3). Kakausapin ko si (Finance) Secretary (Carlos) Dominguez… kung talagang hirap tayo ngayong darating na taon, (titignan) kung mayro’n pong posibilidad… kakausapin ko pa po na sana po’y magkaroon tayo ng Bayanihan 3,” Go said in a radio interview on Monday.
He added that he will discuss with President Rodrigo Duterte the possibility of proposing the Bayanihan 3 measure.
“Kung saka-sakali, kakausapin ko rin po si Pangulo, kung mayro’n naman silang pagkukunan, siguro sa mga susunod na buwan ay maaaring pag-aaralan po na magkaroon tayo ng Bayanihan 3,” Go said.
“Titingnan (natin) kung saan talaga ang mas nangangailangan pa ng tulong, kung sino pa ‘yung hindi nakakatanggap ng tulong na mga sektor,” he added.
