1/x Those funds should have been spent and distributed already. Those were funds for last year’s needs!
Ibig sabihin lang nyan, hindi nakarating sa mga tao ang sinabi ng Kongreso na gamitin noong isang taon para sa ayuda.

2/x Important questions to ask:
1. Why do those funds remain unutilized to this day?
2. What is the magnitude of unutilized funds under Bayanihan 2?
3. What are those specific items?
4. Which agencies did not spend what they should already have spent last year?

3/x Remember that Bayanihan 2 was legislated LAST YEAR to give aid to those who were affected by the lockdowns LAST YEAR.
The onus of explaining why those funds remained unutilized to this day is on the agencies. Almost all of them have critical roles to play in the IATF!

4/x Since they were unutilized by the agencies, natural uunahin talagang ipagamit ng DBM ang mga iyan.
From DBM’s standpoint, that is the fiscally prudent thing to do.
Why? Kasi if magrelease sila on top of the unutilized funds, baka Treasury naman ang magproblema.

5/x Pero kahit na fiscally sound itong move na ito ng DBM, there is NO escaping the bigger problem.
Ano iyon? The leadership and governance vaccuum more popularly known as #DutertePalpak.

6/x The fact remains na dahil sobrang delayed ng admin na ito sa pagbibigay ng ayuda na dapat sana ay for last year pa, the net result is this:
Naging isang bigayan na lang ng ayuda for last year and this most recent lockdown!

7/x Yes, absorptive capacity of the agencies is a problem and that is a huge consideration in public financial management.
But that speaks of a larger governance problem kasi hindi naman pwedeng maghintay forever and mga citizens kung kelan sila mag-shape up

8/8Just so y’all know, ganyan talaga ang mangyayari kapag mismong Presidente walang pakialam sa paggastos ng Executive.
Hello? You cannot divorce the budget from governance!
Role nya to compel agencies to spend kasi if they don’t spend, it’s all late-night ngawa on his part.

Ito iyon, @thenavigator8. Naha-high blood pa rin ako kapag pinapasa ng agencies ang blame sa DBM. Haha. Kainis! Palaging scapegoat nila DBM.
