Sen. Bam Aquino calls on the Department of Economy, Planning, and Development to expand government initiatives to middle class: "Kailangan din nila ng tulong"
During the Senate hearing on government interventions to address rising oil prices today, April 29, 2026, Sen. Bam Aquino called on the Department of Economy, Planning, and Development (DepDev) to expand government initiatives to middle class as they also need help.
Aquino said Filipinos earning P0 to P55,000 per month constitute about 87% of the population, which he called "almost universal."
"If universal na 'yan, dapat pati government initiatives ay universal na rin," he said.

Speaking not as a fan, but as a woman.

Now someone dies from the same hate and you speak of compassion?
You were never kind. You just needed death to feel human again.
