Lacson: Reviving MSMEs Key to Addressing Unemployment

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.

Sentralisadong Financing Facility para sa MSMEs, Kasama sa Prayoridad ng Lacson-Sotto

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.

Lacson-Sotto Tandem Eyes Central Financing Facility for MSMEs

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.
