Marcos: Classes in person to support PH’s economic revival

Later this month, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is hoping for a good start to the face-to-face or in-person semester because it will help the country’s economy recover from the effects of the Covid-19 outbreak.

When the Academic Year 2022–2023 begins on August 22, Marcos urged local government units (LGUs) to be more aggressive in their Covid-19 immunization and booster efforts to protect everyone’s safety, especially students.

He stated that nearly 1.2 million Filipinos have received their second Covid-19 booster doses, while 15.9 million had received their first booster dose, according to official statistics.

In his first 100 days in office, Marcos acknowledged that the government’s goal of delivering at least 23 million Covid-19 booster doses had yet to be met.

We won’t get bored of urging our LGUs to be more aggressive in this campaign, he said. “Kaya hindi tayo magsasawang pakiusapan ang ating LGU na maging mas agresibo dito sa kampanyang ito,” he said.

He recognized that increasing the number of Filipinos who receive Covid-19 vaccinations and booster doses is challenging but essential for the reopening of more sectors.

“It might not be that simple, but if our preparation is done properly, I am confident that this would be effective,” he continued. “Hindi man ito ganung kasimple pero kapag tama ang paghahanda ay siguradong magiging matagumpay ito.”

The return of in-person instruction, in Marcos’ opinion, will boost economic activity in businesses around schools, including those that sell school supplies, are in the retail sector, and operate public transportation.

Additionally, parents will be able to return to labor while their kids are still in school, increasing the workforce.

It cannot be balik-eskuwela, balik-negosyo, balik-hanapbuhay, or balik-kaunlaran when it is nagging matagumpay. If this is effective, it will not only mean that classes will resume but also that businesses, livelihoods, and economic development will resume. This is what is being said in the phrase “if this becomes successful.” Our efforts to reopen the economy will benefit greatly from this, he said.

Marcos urged businesses to keep upholding minimal public health requirements in order to stop a rise in Covid-19 instances.

“A lot of industries will participate in and benefit from this step, so we need to make sure that everyone is prepared,” he continued. “Maraming industriya ang magiging bahagi at makikinabang sa hakbang na ito.”

On August 1, Marcos personally went to a vaccination location in Pasig to observe and encourage more people to get their main and booster injections.

When the vaccination is not present, there is nothing at all. Huwag na po natin hintayin na dumami pa ang mga kaso at maging mahirap na naman ang ating pagpunta sa trabaho, ang ating paglabas ng bahay (We have no other means of defense against this besides the vaccine. Let’s not wait for the situations to worsen and make it more challenging for us to leave the house or go to work),” he stated in his speech.
