Kamara
INAPRUBAHAN na ng Defeat COVID-19 Ad Hoc Committee (DCC) kanina ang panukalang P1.5 trilyong stimulus package na gugugulin sa loob ng tatlong taon para lumikha ng trabaho, at mapaganda ang estado ng sektor ng kalusugan ng bansa.
Sa virtual hearing kanina, inendorso ni House Majority Leader Martin Romualdez sa plenaryo ang tatlong panukala at dalawang resolusyon na magagamit para labanan ang epekto ng coronavirus disease 2019.
“Hindi po ako pinatulog ng mga kasama nating ito masiguro lang na maaprubahan ang mga bill na pinag-uusapan natin. But seriously, we really have no choice but to fast track the approval of these vital measures. We need to have these bills enacted into law as soon as possible if we want to rescue our people from further harm and even starvation in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Buhay at kabuhayan po ng ating mamamayan ang nakasalalay dito,” ani Romualdez.
Sa mosyon ni House Deputy Majority Leader at Zamboanga Sibugay Rep. Wilter “Sharky” Wee Palma II, inaprubahan ng DCC ang COVID-19 Unemployment Reduction Economic Stimulus (CURES) Act of 2020.
“We all know that dole-outs do not provide a sustainable living to the people. It is incumbent upon us to come up with an economic stimulus package that assures sustainable employment and an improved economy,” ani Romualdez.
Paliwanag ni Romualdez sa pagpapatayo ng mga imprastraktura ng gobyerno ay makalilikha ito ng trabaho at makakahikayat ng mga investors na kailangan upang umangat ang ekonomiya ng bansa.
“We seek to end the unemployment problem through massive investment on
public infrastructure, which we describe as shovel-ready projects.
This strategy, at the same time, aims to provide a solid impetus to
the government’s Balik-Probinsya program by creating jobs in the
countryside,” Romualdez explained.
“Kung may mga trabaho po sa probinsya, siguradong mas pipiliin ng mga kababayan natin na bumalik doon kaysa magutom dito sa Metro Manila,” ani Romualdez.
Inaprubahan din ng DCC ang panukalang Better Normal for the Workplace, Communities and Public Spaces Act of 2020 ni Antique Rep. Loren Legarda.
“We seek to lay the groundwork that will expedite our people’s adaptation to the demands of the new normal life,” ani Romualdez. “As soon as we adapt to the new normal, businesses can resume operations and workers can go back to their jobs without fear of contracting the dreaded coronavirus. Through physical distancing and other stringent safety and health protocols, we can also keep our families safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. We have no choice but to adapt to the new normal. The soonest time possible, the better.”
Inaprubahan din ng DCC ang House bill 6707 (Establish Baseline PCR testing as the protocol for COVID-19 testing) na akda nina Quezon Rep. Angelina Tan at House Senior Deputy Minority Leader at Iloilo Rep. Janette Loreto-Garin.
“As we create more jobs and try to jumpstart our economy, we also need to work double time to ensure that health standards and protocols are geared towards protecting the vulnerable sectors of our society,” saad ni Romualdez.
Inaprubahan din ng DCC ang resolusyon ni Marikina Rep. Bayani Fernando na hinihikayat ang pagpapabilis sa paglabas ng second tranche ng Special Amelioration Program at ang resolusyon para sa P66 bilyong supplemental budget para sa Department of Agriculture (DA) para matiyak na sapat ang suplay ng pagkain.
