Senator-elect Loren Legarda (File photo) MANILA - The development as a nation should be pursued with the end goal that everyone should benefit from the country's economic gains, returning Senator Loren Legarda said on Thursday. During the Development Academy of the Philippines' (DAP) Thursday Talks: Webinar Series on Socio-Political and Economic Perspectives, Legarda said progress should not be measured by the country's infrastructure or urban development alone, but by looking at the quality of life, the welfare, and well-being of every Filipino. "Because in the midst of this rapid pace of urbanization, the challenge lies in ensuring that those in the grassroots of the society actually benefit from the government's efforts to provide basic services," Legarda said thanking DAP for choosing as their topic for the webinar the Republic Act (RA) 9501 or the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Act which she authored and sponsored way back in 2008.
