Palace: President Aquino signs P14.6-B supplemental budget for calamity survivors Friday 3rd of January 2014
MANILA,
Jan 3 -- President Benigno Aquino III has signed the P14.6-billion
supplemental budget for 2014 to fund relief, rehabilitation and
reconstruction efforts in areas affected last year by super Typhoon
Yolanda (Haiyan) and a magnitude-7.2 quake.
In a media briefing,
Presidential Communications Operations Office head Sonny Coloma Jr. said
the President signed the budget last Dec. 26.
"On Dec. 26,
it was signed. ... Pinirmahan na ang joint resolution ng both houses of
Congress for the supplemental allocation of P14.6 billion (It was signed
Dec. 26. This was the joint resolution by both houses of Congress for
the allocation of P14.6 billion)," Coloma said.
Yolanda, which tore through Visayas and Southern Luzon last November, left more than 6,100 dead.
The
supplemental budget will also help survivors of other devastating
cyclones. It will fund the P40.9-billion rehabilitation plan President
Aquino had approved.
Coloma said the rehabilitation plan had
gone through several revisions and "various stages of refinement." (PND
