Senate Majority Floor Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri said on Wednesday, December 22, that he is filing a bill for a P10 to 15 billion supplemental budget to aid the victims of Typhoon “Odette” in various parts of the country.
Zubiri said the General Appropriations Act for 2022 has already been approved and ratified, and is just waiting for the signature of the president.
The budget for calamity response in the GAA for 2022 was very little so they need to pass a supplemental budget of at least P10 billion, but they will try to increase it to P15 billion if the national treasurer says there are sufficient funds from savings, he said.
The funds will be targeted to help families whose houses were destroyed and damaged, he said.
The Department of Social Welfare a...
