The chairperson of the House Committee on Rules hailed the House members led by House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco “for working very hard” in ensuring the immediate ratification of the 2021 General Appropriations Bill (GAB) which is expected to strengthen the Duterte government’s pandemic response.
“We acted with dispatch according to the desire of the President to help the economy weather the ill-effects of pandemic. I thank Speaker Lord Allan Velasco and my colleagues for performing under pressure just to ensure the immediate ratification of next year’s national budget,” Romualdez said.
