This is showboating in aid of reelection,” House Deputy Speaker Danilo Fernandez said in a statement. “If our high and mighty senators feel that the consolidated Bayanihan 2 bill was not up to their standards, then why did they approve it during the bicam talks? Senator Cayetano reacted to remarks made by Senate President Vicente Sotto III and Senator Miguel Zubiri during a bicameral panel meeting. The consolidated version of the Bayanihan 2 bill, which also seeks to replace the expired Bayanihan to Heal as One Act, was ratified by the Senate. After this, the bill will be sent to President Rodrigo Duterte for his signature.
