Gov’t working hard to improve lives of Filipinos, says Palace official

Posted on July 25, 2014

MANILA, July 25 (PNA) — The government is working round the clock to implement various programs and projects to benefit many Filipinos, a Palace official said on Friday.

Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. stressed this amid Thursday’s Senate hearing on the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) controversy where Budget and Management Secretary Florencio Abad explained the allocations of DAP funds.

Coloma said the Executive branch is undertaking various programs, activities and projects.

“Ika-nga ay 24/7, sa lahat ng oras ay gising ang pamahalaan dahil ito ang inaasahan ng ating mga kababayan na maghatid ng serbisyo-publiko, magbigay ng kalinga, lalung-lalo na oras ng matinding pangangailangan at panganib,” he said in a television interview.

“Dahil lahat po ng pagkilos natin, nandoon iyong panawagan na makapaghatid ng serbisyo-publiko at nandoon na mismo, kaharap mo na iyong nangangailangan, kaharap na ng ahensiya iyong publiko,” he added.

Coloma expressed hope that public will have a better understanding of how DAP worked.

The Supreme Court early this month declared some provisions of the DAP unconstitutional.

The government has filed its motion for reconsideration on the SC’s ruling on the program. (PNA)
