Recto Endorses Ping Lacson’s Senatorial Bid, National Budget Advocacies

BATANGAS CITY – Independent senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Saturday scored a double win here after getting the endorsement of Finance Secretary and former senator Ralph Recto not just for his senatorial bid but also for his advocacy to empower local government units (LGUs).

In throwing his support behind Lacson’s senatorial bid, Recto said he is confident Lacson will keep watch over the national budget to make sure taxpayers’ money will be used properly.

“I am sure Ping Lacson will guard the budget where the government spends P16 billion a day. His and fellow senators’ role will be important in this respect,” he said in Filipino at a gathering with local mayors here Saturday afternoon.

Ping Lacson Pushes More Gov’t Support for MSMEs to Boost Job Generation in Cavite

TRECE MARTIRES, Cavite – Former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Friday pushed for more government support for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to boost job generation especially in his home province of Cavite.

Lacson said giving MSMEs the needed boost, particularly through incentives and enhancing cottage industries, is particularly important in Cavite as it is the gateway to Southern Luzon.

“Cavite is the gateway to Southern Luzon. The government must help them by giving them incentives and enhancing cottage industries, to benefit the self-employed and small employers like MSMEs,” he said in Filipino at the press conference of the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate here.

On a Prospective EO for an MSME Development Plan

An EO for an MSME development plan is one move by President Marcos that deserves the support of the entire government bureaucracy, if not the whole country. When 99.6% of our business enterprises are MSME’s and a mere 0.4% are large, corporate groups, the best way forward is through this EO.

An unsolicited advice, if I may – bureaucratic corruption is the greatest enemy of MSME’s. They should be assisted, not punished by red tape and extortion.

Ping: Buhayin ang MSMEs Para Matugunan ang Kawalan ng Trabaho

Kasama sa dapat na maging prayoridad sa pagtugon sa kawalan ng trabaho ng ilan sa ating kababayan ang pagbuhay sa ating micro-, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), ayon kay independent presidential candidate Senador Ping Lacson.

Para kay Lacson, hindi pa nakakabangon ang MSMEs mula sa mga epekto ng lockdown bunsod ng pandemya, may panibago na naman silang kinakaharap na suliranin sa pagtaas ng presyo ng langis.

“Buhayin ang MSME, yan ang biggest source natin of employment. Yan ang unang bumagsak so kailangang buhayin,” ani Lacson sa kanyang panayam sa Bogo, Cebu nitong Huwebes.
