Ping, Kinwestyon ang P5-B Para sa Farm-to-Market Roads Gamit Pondo ng Bayanihan 2

Anong kinalaman ng farm-to-market roads sa pag-responde ng gobyerno sa pandemya?

Yan ang tanong ng standard bearer ng Partido Reporma na si Senador Ping Lacson nitong Lunes matapos nitong mapag-alaman na ang P5-bilyong pondo na dapat sana ay para sa Covid-19 response ay ginamit pala sa pagpopondo ng implementasyon ng farm-to-market road projects sa ilalim ng Agriculture Stimulus Package ng Bayanihan 2.

“We noticed releases under Bayanihan 2 focused on farm-to-market roads worth P5 billion. Can you explain the connection between these farm-to-market road releases and the government’s Covid response? Parang hindi ko ma-connect,” ani Lacson sa kanyang interpelasyon sa badyet ng DA.

Senator and Partido Reporma presidential standard bearer Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson asked this on Monday as he noted P5 billion intended for the government’s Covid-19 response was used to cover funding requirements for the implementation of farm-to-market road projects under the Agriculture Stimulus Package of Bayanihan 2.

“We noticed releases under Bayanihan 2 focused on farm-to-market roads worth P5 billion. Can you explain the connection between these farm-to-market road releases and the government’s Covid response? Parang hindi ko ma-connect (I cannot seem to make the connection),” he said in his interpellation of the DA’s budget.
