Senator Christopher “Bong” Go said that while the unemployment rate in the Philippines is now decreasing, the government should still pursue its COVID-19 vaccination program in order to hasten the country’s economic recovery.
Go, chairman of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography said the higher vaccination rates resulted to more relaxed health protocols and eventually opened up more sectors of the domestic economy and bringing in more employment opportunities.
“I am happy na bumababa na po ang bilang ng mga nawawalan ng trabaho, nakakabalik na po sila sa normal na trabaho ,” said Go during a recent interview in Malvar, Batangas.
