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.

Reviving our micro-, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) should be the government’s priority in tackling the problem of unemployment, independent presidential bet Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said.
Lacson pointed out that MSMEs are still recovering from the lockdowns triggered by the pandemic, even as they now face new challenges such as rising costs of fuel.
“Buhayin ang MSME, yan ang biggest source natin of employment. Yan ang unang bumagsak so kailangang buhayin (We should revive our MSMEs, which are the biggest supplier of labor. Our MSMEs should be the first to be revived),” he said in an interview in Bogo, Cebu on Thursday, when asked how he would address the problem if he were elected President.

Sa halip na magkaroon ng samu’t saring assistance package mula sa iba’t ibang ahensya ng gobyerno para sa micro-, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), bakit hindi nalang ipunin ang pondo at ilagay sa isang financing facility?
Para kay Senador Ping Lacson, mas magiging madali ito para sa MSMEs na mabigyan ng sapat na tulong lalo na sa mga negosyong naapektuhan ng pandemya, tensyon sa Ukraine, climate change at iba pang kalamidad.
Sinabi ni Lacson na ito ang plano nilang gawin ni Senate President Tito Sotto sakaling sila ay mahalal bilang bagong lider ng bansa.

Instead of several government agencies offering various assistance packages to micro-, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) badly hit by the pandemic, why not pool their funds into one financing facility?
Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said this would make it easier for MSMEs to seek assistance, whether they were affected by the pandemic, the conflict in Ukraine, climate change, or other calamities.
Lacson said he and his vice presidential bet, Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, intend to set up such a mechanism should they be elected into office.

Kailangan na ng “positibong” government intervention para matulungan ang Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) na makabangon mula sa epekto ng pandemya.
Ayon kay Partido Reporma standard-bearer Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson, ito ang dapat gawin sa halip na overregulation na pumipigil sa pribadong sektor na mas makatulong sa economic recovery.
Binubuo ng MSMEs ang halos 99.5 porsyento ng mga negosyo sa bansa at 63.2 porsyento ng kabuuang labor force.

Government intervention of the positive kind will be needed to help Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) – which account for a huge chunk of our labor force – recover from the effects of the pandemic.
Partido Reporma standard-bearer Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said this should be done instead of overregulation, where rules and restrictions keep the private sector from fully contributing to our economic recovery.
Lacson noted these MSMEs account for at least 99.5 percent of our enterprises – and 63.2 percent of our labor force.
