Angara, chairman of the Senate committee on finance, said the members of the bicameral conference committee on the 2021 General Appropriations Bill (GAB) were all in agreement that the workers affected by the pandemic should continue to receive some form of assistance from the government until next year because “many of them are still without jobs.”
