Ping: Pagluluwag sa Curfew at Sektor ng Transportasyon, Makatutulong sa Pagbukas ng Ekonomiya

Makikinabang ang ekonomiya ng bansa sa pagluluwag ng curfew at pagtatanggal sa ilang limitasyon sa sektor ng transportasyon na lubhang naapektuhan ng pandemya, ayon kay Senador Ping Lacson nitong Huwebes.

Bagama’t suportado ni Lacson ang pagbabalik ng ilang negosyo at pabubukas ng ekonomiya, pinaalalahanan pa rin nito ang mga otoridad na siguruhing may pinapatupad pa rin na containment strategies para maiwasan ang pagkalat ng virus.

“Sinusuportahan namin ang move na magbukas ng ekonomiya, para sa ganoon medyo sumigla ang ating business activities. Huwag lang kalimutan ang containment strategy na nakasanayan natin,” ani Lacson sa kanilang kauna-unahang LACSON-SOTTO media forum.

Lacson: Easing of Curfew, Transportation Restrictions to Benefit Ailing Economy

The easing of curfew and transportation restrictions will benefit the Philippine economy which has received quite a beating from the effects of the pandemic, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson said Thursday.

But while Lacson supported the moves that would enhance business activities and strengthen the economy, he reminded authorities to maintain containment strategies to prevent the virus from spreading.

“Sinusuportahan namin ang move na magbukas ng ekonomiya, para sa ganoon medyo sumigla ang ating business activities. Huwag lang kalimutan ang containment strategy na nakasanayan natin (I support the moves leading to the reopening of the economy, to revive our business activities. But our authorities must sustain the containment strategies in place),” he said at the first LACSON-SOTTO media forum.

Lockdown, Posibleng Tanggalin na sa Liderato ni Ping

Kinokonsidera ni Senador Ping Lacson ang tuluyang pagtanggal ng lockdown kung sakaling mahalal sila ni Senate President Tito Sotto bilang Pangulo at Pangalawang Pangulo sa darating na eleksyon sa Mayo 2022.

Ayon kay Lacson, bagama’t ang Pilipinas ay nagkaroon ng pinakamatagal na lockdown sa buong mundo, hindi ito naging epektibo sa pagpigil sa pagkalat ng Covid, at hindi rin nakatulong sa pag-rekober ng Pilipinas kumpara sa ibang bansa.

“We’re toying with the idea that after June 30, 2022, wala na tayong lockdown kasi hindi nagwo-work ang longest lockdown. Lockdown ng lockdown, hindi nagwo-work. Baka may ibang approach,” ani Lacson sa kanyang panayam sa Pandesal Forum nitong Huwebes.

Lacson Considers Scrapping Lockdowns Under His Leadership

Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson is considering scrapping lockdowns in preventing the spread of Covid-19, should he and Senate President Vicente C. Sotto III win as President and Vice President in next year’s elections.

Lacson said that while the Philippines has had the world’s longest lockdown, it has not prevented the spread of Covid, much less helped the country recover compared to other nations.

“We’re toying with the idea that after June 30, 2022, wala na tayong lockdown kasi hindi nagwo-work ang longest lockdown. Lockdown ng lockdown, hindi nagwo-work. Baka may ibang approach (We are toying with the idea that after June 30, 2022, we won’t have a lockdown anymore because the lockdown approach is not working. There could be a better approach),” he said at the Pandesal Forum on Thursday.

Lacson: Lockdowns to Help Curb Spike in COVID Cases Should be Time-Bound

While suggestions for stricter lockdowns to curb the continuing increase in COVID cases may make sense at this time, such lockdowns should be time-bound to protect a still-battered economy, Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson said Friday.

Lacson said an enhanced community quarantine (ECQ)-type lockdown whose length is “open-ended” can threaten to kill the economy that has yet to recover from a similar measure last year.

“I would support a time-bound ECQ-type lockdown but only in areas with an unusually high number of COVID infections, so as not to further punish an already suffering economy. For now, these may include identified areas in Metro Manila, Calabarzon and Central Visayas as the daily records would indicate,” Lacson said.

The time-bound nature will allow the business sector to “plan in advance their way forward and make adjustments in their business activities like production, marketing and the like,” he added.
