BONG GO — On Friday, the incumbent senator called on government agencies to ensure the proper use of the national budget for 2022.
Senator Christopher Lawrence Go called on national government agencies to utilize their funds properly and wisely so as to help spur the country’s efforts against the pandemic and economic recovery.
According to Go, President Rodrigo Duterte’s signing of the PHP 5-trillion General Appropriations Act (GAA) of 2022 was “timely” as the government continued to deal with the pandemic and the recent onslaught of typhoon “Odette” on Filipinos and economy.
“Dapat walang masayang ni piso sa kaban ng bayan. Tiyakin nating magiging kasangkapan ang pondo ng gobyerno upang mapadali ang pagbangon ng ating bansa sa pagpasok ng Bagong Taon,” Go said in a statement.
