Senators look forward to hearing President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. deliver his plans for creating more jobs and addressing the expensive cost of living during his second State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 24. 💼🗣️👥📅

In an interview on Monday, Senator Christopher Lawrence Go said he is eager to discover President Marcos’ plans for inclusive and full economic recovery from the pandemic. 💭🌍💼

“Unang-una po ay dapat walang maiwan na mahihirap nating kababayan. Unahin po yung mga programa na nakakatulong po sa mga kababayan natin. Dapat po ay walang magutom. Importante po dito, tiyan ng bawat Pilipino. Importante po dito trabaho ng bawat Pilipino (First of all, no poor individual should be left behind. Let us prioritize programs that can help our people. No one should starve. It is important that every Filipino has a job),” Go told reporters after distributing aid for fire victims and indigent families in Novaliches, Quezon City. 🤝🗣️🌍👥

He also expressed his support for the Marcos administration’s 8-Point Socioeconomic Agenda, the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028, food security, supply chain management, decreasing energy cost and energy security, reducing economic vulnerability from the pandemic by addressing healthcare issues and strengthening social protection. 💼📝🌾🛢️🏥💪

Senator Raffy Tulfo said the President did an “excellent job” so far, without blaming anyone. 👍🤝🚫

“If you’d ask me how would I rate him, I think he did an excellent job kung iko-consider natin na meron naman siyang mga minana na mga problema. ‘Yan ang gusto ko kay PBBM, hindi siya naninisi (if we consider that he inherited many problems. That’s what I like about PBBM, he is not blaming anyone). He continues doing what he thinks is good, best,” Tulfo said in a press conference in the Senate. 💯🤝🙌🎙️

Meanwhile, Senator Imee Marcos suggested that her brother present a concrete program to ease the burden of Filipinos in their cost of living. 💭🗣️💼

“Paano ibsan ang taas ng presyo sa gasolina, diesel, LPG, pagkain, lahat ng tumatama talaga sa ating mga mahihirap lalung-lalo na ang pagkain pagkat umaabot ng mahigit 60 percent ng gastos ng hindi masyadong swerte sa atin (How to ease the high prices of gasoline, diesel, LPG, food, which all affect the poor especially the food because it consumes 60 percent of the expenses of our indigents),” Marcos said in a recent interview. 💭🗣️🛢️🍽️💼

Among his top priorities, Marcos is optimistic that the country could sustain its momentum with its unemployment rate, which further dropped to 4.3 percent in May this year from 6 percent a year ago, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). 💼📊📈🌾

Meanwhile, Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda cited the importance of MSMEs as she urged the government to support them more. 💼📝🏢🤝

“MSME programs provide another avenue for Filipinos to rise from poverty through honest means. Getting out of the rut of being poor should be more accessible to all since if we have spending power, our economy will continue to flourish,” Legarda said. 💪💰🌱💼

PSA data in 2021, as cited by the Department of Trade and Industry, showed that the MSME sector generated 5,461,731 jobs, or 64.67 percent of the Philippines’ total employment that year. 📊👥📈📑

Legarda has also filed Senate Bill No. 8, or the Pangkabuhayan (Livelihood) Act which seeks to institutionalize the livelihood programs of different government agencies for MSMEs under one umbrella program given the pandemic recovery. 💼📝💪📑
