Duterte lawyer defends proposed P10,000 monthly aid for moms

By Prince Golez

Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo has defended his proposal granting a regular monthly allowance of P10,000 to all Filipino mothers.

In his latest commentary show, Panelo said he just wanted Congress to consider his idea.

“Eto binabash ako dito. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ako binabash,” according to him.

“’Yan ang gusto kong gawin ng mga miyembro ng Kongreso. Hindi ako. Ideya ko lang ‘yun,” he furthered.

Panelo earlier urged Congress to file a measure granting cash allowance to all Filipino mothers, regardless of civil or employment status.

Some mothers, he said, suffer from depression due to financial constraints.

“‘Yung iba diyan, nagsu-suicide pa dahil walang mapagkukunan ng pera, walang mapag-utangan. Kung meron ho silang allowance buwan-buwan na tatanggapin sa gobyerno, oh eh di medyo kumportable,” he added.
