DILG BUDGET HEARING: Sen. Chiz Escudero, chair of the Senate Committee on Finance, asks Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas to explain the proposed P1.2 billion budget allocation for fire trucks next year. “We will allocate one fire truck for every fire station nationwide. It would be useless to allocate a fire truck if there is no fire station and vice versa,” Roxas, a former senator, told Escudero during the public hearing Wednesday, September 24, 2014.
