Anong ambag ninyo? Alan Cayetano: Economy to be a major issue in 2022 polls

By Billy Begas

Former Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano expressed his belief that the country’s economic recovery and moves to strengthen the health care system will take center stage in the 2022 national and local elections.

“The single largest factor in 2022 is yung mga solusyon sa mga problema na dinala ng COVID-19,” Cayetano said.

Cayetano said he is deeply concerned with the country’s efforts towards economic recovery, which lag behind the economic stimulus programs being implemented in other countries.

“Nakikita ko na may plano sa medical side: sa pagbakuna, sa pag contact tracing, sa isolation, sa pagpapalaki ng kapasidad ng mga ospital. Pero doon sa economic side, kung ano yung galing natin before COVID-19, sana po ganun din ngayon. Kasi (compared) sa ibang bansa, naiiwanan na tayo sa (economic) stimulus,” Cayetano added.

He called on those who would run for the presidential race to work with experts from different fields to develop a five-year COVID-19 economic recovery plan.

“Ipatawag yung mga presidentiables. Ipatawag yung mga eksperto sa agriculture, sa mineral resource development, sa manufacturing, sa tourism, sa finance, at gumawa kayo ng plano na madaling maintindihan,” he said.

Cayetano said the plan should include the P10,000 cash aid for every family which can help in moving the economy.

On Friday, Cayetano and his allies distributed P10,000 to 300 seafarers affected by the pandemic and to 100 individuals who commented on the event’s Facebook livestream.
