ITINAAS na ni Pangulong Duterte sa P4 bilyon ang pondong inilaan para sa mga lugar na sinalanta ng bagyong Odette.
“So what’s important is you listen to your officials because we’re going to download the money in the bank so they can get money immediately. So we gave 2 billion and you’ll divide the amount. We’ve already started giving assistance, so I’ll look for another 2 billion,” sabi ni Duterte sa kanyang pagbisita sa Bohol.
Aminado rin si Duterte na limitado na ang pondo ng pamahalaan.
“You know, we don’t have money left. I’m not saying this so that government won’t have to do anything anymore, but to be totally honest, when the COVID pandemic first started, there has been no spending limit,” ayon pa kay Duterte.
