“as disproportionate to the country’s current needs. ‘We are not saying infrastructure is bad [nor] we do not need to modernize our infrastructure. What we’re saying is we need to prioritize. In the middle of the pandemic, should this really be our priority?’ asked Suzara.

“The argument of the @BudgetNatin, which was organized by the iLEAD, the Alliance of Health Workers, the @covidbudgetph, and the @MBCforum is that there are more importang concerns during this pandemic than building more roads and bridges.

[Roy Canivel @roycanivel_jrn]

The fund for social protection is larger than the P176B recast for the health sector. When asked why, they noted how the pandemic is a crisis faced by ordinary people.

“Just because the lockdown was lifted does not mean people don’t need help anymore,” said @znsuzara of iLEAD.

[iLEAD Philippines @iLEAD_PH]

“Health funding is proving to be contentious after @BudgetNatin said in a policy paper that P1.163 trillion — about a fifth of the 2022 budget — is not explicitly allocated for identifiable pandemic response measures.”
