Press Release August 13, 2013 Transcript of Sen. Sonny Angara's ambush interview regarding relief efforts for Aurora after being hit by typhoon Labuyo A: In case people have no way of sending help to Aurora, I'm offering my office. Maybe we could shoulder the cost of transportation. Wala pa kaming release sa PDAF but I still have PDAF leftover when I was congressman so I'm asking the DBM if they are amenable to make it available for Aurora's relief efforts. Q: Initial amount, sir? A: At least half a million. Kasi ang kailangan dito ay relief goods at housing materials--yero at pako para sa mga natanggalan ng bubong. Q: Saan niyo irerelay, sir? A: It doesn't matter. Pwedeng sa DSWD, sa provincial government, or sa munisipyo. Q: Sa NGO? A: Baka mas magandang hindi na muna. (laughs) Q: Pwede yun sir na 2012 PDAF pa? A: I think may policy ang DBM na one year lang ang lifespan ng SARO. It has to be 2013, otherwise nag-lapse na 'yun. |
