More than 220 lawmakers in the House of Representatives support the proposed third Bayanihan measure that seeks to cushion the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, Speaker Lord Allan Velasco said Tuesday.
In a statement, Velasco said 224 members from the House supermajority, minority, and independent blocs have joined him either as principal authors or co-authors of House Bill No. 8628 or the Bayanihan to Arise As One Act, also known as Bayanihan 3.
“I want to thank my colleagues for rising above party-lines and for always keeping Filipinos first as we unite to provide much-needed help to households and businesses facing hardship as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic,” Velasco said.
Bayanihan 3 seeks to provide P420-billion fund to help the country recover amid the pandemic-induced economic slump. It is currently pending in the House committee on economic affairs.
