Senator Win Gatchalian on Thursday said the government should continue pouring in funds for Covid-19 response measures addressing the ongoing health crisis as well as income and job generation programs in the proposed P5.024-trillion national budget next year.
“Ang taong 2022 ay Covid-19-year pa rin. Dapat tutukan pa rin natin ang paglaban sa Covid-19 kaya ibig sabihin kailangan ng sapat na pondong pambili ng vaccines, hospital support, medical frontliners’ support at suporta sa mga gamot na panlaban sa Covid-19,” Gatchalian said.
He said government-financed short-term and other job-generating programs to address the consequences of the Covid-19 outbreak should likewise be given precedence over other items in the proposed national appropriations.
“Nakikita natin na magiging matumal pa rin ang negosyo sa susunod na taon at kailangang tulungan natin na makabangon sila lalo na ‘yung maliliit na negosyo,” Gatchalian said.
“Survival mode sila so as much as possible kailangan nilang maitawid ang 2022 para sa 2023 ay mas maayos at maginhawa na ang sitwasyon nila,” he said.
“Dapat merong suporta ang gobyerno para sa maliliit na negosyo. For example, standby capital na hindi utang. Kapital ang ibibigay natin,” Gatchalian said.
“Kung ikaw halimbawa ay isang established na negosyo at naapektuhan ka ng Covid-19, dapat ay mabigyan ka ng standby capital para meron nang puhunan para sa 2023 at mabilis nang makakabangon,” he added.
