Duterte gov’t giving up Php667-B in potential COVID response funds to boost corporate profits

By IBON Media & Communications

At a time when funds are urgent for the huge COVID-19 response needed, research group IBON said that the Duterte administration is giving up Php667 billion in revenues to boost the profits of the country’s largest corporations. Oligarch profits are boosted at the expense of aiding poor families, containing the spread of the coronavirus, and treating those with COVID-19, said the group.
