MANILA, Philippines — A lawmaker has filed a bill pushing for the distribution of a one-time P2,000 cash aid for all Filipinos in the country as form of economic ayuda and relief amid the coronavirus pandemic and skyrocketing prices of goods and services.

 

In filing House Bill No. 2022, Rep. Irene Gay Saulog (Kalinga Party-list) pointed to the many woes that hounded the implementation of cash aid to the poorest Filipinos affected by the community quarantines over the coronavirus pandemic.

 

"While these programs had the noblest of intentions, the implementation was far from ideal. Many were left out. In fact, millions of families were included in the second tranche of ayuda in 2020 after their appeal," she wrote.
