Pangilinan to govt: Buy Pinoy-made PPEs, save local jobs, grow economy
SENATOR Francis Kiko Pangilinan reiterates his proposal to use local PPEs (personal protective equipment) and other Covid-related needs for the country s overall economic recovery. Pagkakataon ang krisis. Crisis is opportunity. Makaka-recover tayo economically, magkakaroon ng trabaho ang marami kung gagamitin natin ang gawa ng sarili nating mga kababayan, Pangilinan said in reaction to news that 3,500 workers of local PPE manufacturers have been laid off due to lack of demand. May pangangailangan para sa PPEs at kayang tugunan ng lokal na industriya. Sinabi na natin yan noong una pa, na gamitin natin ang sariling atin para makabangon ulit ang ating ekonomiya, said the author of Senate Bill 1759 or the Pandemic Protection Act.
