Bayanihan 3 bill allots P54.6 billion for military, police pension
May 4, 2021 5:47 PM PHT
Over P50 billion of the P405.6-billion Bayanihan 3 bill, which aims to provide cash assistance to millions of Filipinos amid the pandemic, has been allotted for the payment of the unpaid pension of police, military, and other uniformed personnel.
Under the Bayanihan to Arise As One Act or Bayanihan 3 substitute bill, a total of P54.6 billion is proposed to be released as pension funds in three phases:
Phase 1 - P20 billion
Phase 3 - P14.6 billion
The provision stands out because lawmakers have touted Bayanihan 3 as a measure that would focus on giving assistance to poor and disenfranchised Filipinos, on top of giving out P1,000 each to all 100 million Filipinos.

5 senators seek probe into P19.1-B budget of anti-insurgency task force
Apr 26, 2021 4:39 PM PHT
Senators are not backing down in their tussle with the red-tagging spokespersons of the government s anti-insurgency task force.
On Monday, April 26, at least 5 senators officially called for a Senate inquiry on how the task force is using its P19.1-billion budget given the baseless and unsubstantiated public claims of its spokespersons – Lieutenant General Antonio Parlade Jr and Communications Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy.
Senator Joel Villanueva led 4 other senators in filing Proposed Senate Resolution (PSR) No. 707 which seeks to ask the appropriate committee to look into the effectivity of the programs of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Insurgency (NTF-ELCAC) and how it s been spending taxpayers money.
