Filipinos should not be disheartened even as the country is confronted by an economic downturn triggered by the previous strict coronavirus lockdown, according to a Palace official.
Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said the government is determined to facilitate an economic recovery while ramping up efforts to the spread of the coronavirus in the country.
The Bayanihan 2 bill proposes a P140-billion fund for various programs to improve health care resources, boost the government’s pandemic response, and support industries and families hit hard by the pandemic. “Nagsimula na rin po ang operasyon ng ating Build, Build, Build projects subject to health and safety protocols. Ilan lang po ito sa mga istratehiya na ating ginagawa upang muling manumbalik ang sigla ng ating ekonomiya ,” he said.
The country has seen a record spike in coronavirus cases in recent days, although the government has attributed the surge of infections to the country’s aggressive testing efforts. “Kinakailangan po tuloy lang ang ating buhay. Tulad nang madalas kong sinasabi sa ating press briefing, sasayawan po natin ito. Kinakailangan po pag-ingatan natin ang ating buhay para tayo po ay makapaghanapbuhay ,” he said.
