“Sinabi ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na inatasan niya ang mga kalihim ng kanyang Gabinete na ipagpatuloy ang pagbibigay ng tulong na pera at subsidies sa mga mahihirap na Pilipino sa gitna ng COVID-19 pandemic hanggang sa maramdaman ng gobyerno na kaya na ng mga tao na tumayo sa sarili nilang mga paa.”
