“We have to make sure the (general appropriations bill) lands on President Duterte’s desk for his signature before the year ends to prevent a reenacted spending program that could slow economic growth and hamper the delivery of government services in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic,” giit ni House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco.
