I wonder where the Php673M figure came from. Maybe this is actual spending figure?
It's quite close to the OVP's budget for 2020 - nearly Php700M in the 2020 GAA - dbm.gov.ph/wp-content/upl…
It doesn't change the conclusion we can draw from this graph though.
Kahit Php900m 2021 OVP budget ang gamitin natin, or the 2020 OVP budget which is Php699.88m (to be exact), kapiranggot lang talaga iyon compared to the NTF-ELCAC funds.
Ito na pala. Sinipag akong gumawa ng graph.
So as you can see the OVP budget is tiny compared to the total budget of the OP and the budget of the OP for confidential and intelligence expenses.
The entire OVP budget for 2021 is just equivalent to 11% of the total budget of the Office of the President for this year.
If you compare it naman with the Confidential and Intelligence Fund of the President, it's equivalent to only 20%.
Kung mandate lang naman at resources ng OP ang titinngan, it's not too much to expect better results di ba?
And c'mon, the President has control over the rest of the budget of the entire Executive branch. He can marshall those resources to serve us citizens.
The President and the IATF has the power, the authority and the fiscal resources to manage this crisis better.
Unfortunately, LEADERSHIP, COMPETENCE at EMPATHY ang kulang.
We face so much uncertainty as to when this pandemic and economic crisis will come to an end because there is a huuuuuuge leadership vacuum.
Public health and governance systems are failing because of soooo much incompetence. It is damn unforgiveable.
People are hungry because they lack empathy.
They don't want to give another round of ayuda to poor families, they don't want to help small businesses, but they are so willing to give tax relief to big businesses.

And look how ACTUAL infra to GDP ratio has deteriorated since 2016? Hahahahahaha!
They were riding on the institutional reforms introduced by former DPWH Secretary Babes Singson. But well, well, well, they failed to meet their own sustain the momentum.
Heck, they couldn't even meet their own targets, better yet stick to those targets.. Hahahaha!
These were their medium-term targets at the start, published in no less than the 2018 People's Budget
2/x Anong mga kasama sa 568B? Basically merong mga fund releases authorized under Bayanihan 1 and 2 such as cash transfers ng DSWD, wage subsidies ng DOLE, those coursed through SSS and other COVID-related health and operational expenditures.
It’s not your job to save money. It’s your job to SPEND for the people.
Magbigay kayo ng ayuda so you don’t have to keep forcing a stupid strategy of reopening the economy
Ang problema kasi inuna nyo pa rin ang Build, Build, Build kahit maraming may sakit, gutom, at walang trabaho.
Almost Php1T of the 2021 Budget went to infra pero business-as-usual ang budget for health, livelihood and labor. Hindi nakalapat sa lupa ang economic policy ninyo.
Bukod doon, nagbuhos rin kayo ng pondo para sa NTF-ECLAC na parang kala mo mas malaking problema ang anti-communist insurgency kesa sa COVID-19
Not really surprised this would happen. The vaccination plan they presented to the Senate back in January doesn’t appear to consider realities on the ground🤷🏻♀️ interaksyon.philstar.com/politics-issue…
Also, it’s not really surprising this could happen. DOH has a track record of wastage due to inefficiency.
Billions of pesos worth of medicines either expired upon receipt of hospitals, overstocked/near expiration or left undistributed to hospitals.
Go check the COA reports.
The 2018 COA Audit report said Php18.5B worth of drugs and medicines procured by DOH Central Office remain in DOH warehouses. Around 2% of said stock was found to be nearing expiration.
70% or Php13B of the Php18.5B overstock are medicines purchased in 2018.
