'Conditional' business aid, bigger agri budget: Robredo outlines 'freedom from hunger' plan Halalan2022
Robredo said "securing our freedom from hunger" is one of 3 fronts in her plan against COVID-19, which also included "securing our freedom from the threat of illness" and "securing our freedom from inadequacies in education."
Robredo said her plan to secure freedom from hunger includes a proposed "conditional stimulus package for MSMEs, hinged on the condition that they do not lay off workers."If elected president, Robredo said she would encourage outdoor economic activity to reduce the risk of infection in closed and crowded areas.
"We will review current bike lanes, and we will build more around the country. We will raise the budget for this from P1.6 billion to around P14 billion," she added. "Despite lockdowns, despite production dipping across all sectors, agriculture actually grew last year. It has been resilient in the face of the pandemic; imagine how much more it can grow if we give it enough funding," said the Vice President.
