With only two weeks of plenary sessions left, some senators are skeptical if there is time for Congress to pass the proposed third economic stimulus measure that seeks to cushion the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Senator Francis Tolentino noted the Senate has a fully loaded schedule for the next two weeks before the sine die adjournment on June 4, so there might not be enough time to pass the proposed Bayanihan 3.
“I don’t know what the leadership will do because our schedule is loaded…I don’t know how the Senate would be able to insert it (Bayanihan 3) in the schedule,” Tolentino said in Filipino in an interview on Radio DZRH.
