President Rodrigo Duterte asked the Senate to give his Executive Order No. (EO) 128 “a chance and consider its intended effects,” Malacañang said Wednesday.
The Senate earlier adopted a joint resolution urging Duterte to revoke EO 128 that lowers tariffs for imported pork.
“President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is asking the esteemed members of the Senate to give EO 128 a chance and consider its intended effects, which include addressing the shortage in swine meat, stabilizing the price of pork meat, and minimizing inflation rate, as mentioned by the Department of Agriculture and the President’s Economic Team,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.
“Let us revisit the EO in two months to assess whether the aforesaid intended effects have been realized/met,” added Roque.
The Palace official likewise assured the senators that the government will ensure the recovery of the hog sector and stable pork supply.
