Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno revealed that President Rodrigo Duterte understood the impact of the implementation of the TRAIN LAW specially the rising prices of petroleum products leading to the increasing prices of basic commodities.
Diokno said that the President recognized the effects of the law but the petition to call out the suspension of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law does support the mechanism of the constitution. Thus, opted the Finance Department to officially reject the proposal.
"The President does not consider the Filipinos as crybabies," presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said, relating to the inflation of basic needs.
