ICYMI: Robredo is looking at setting aside P216 billion from the government’s coffers if she is elected president in the May 2022 national elections to fund the “ayuda” or social aid for families affected by lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Robredo noted that this can be done by taking care of healthcare workers to ensure that the country’s health system would be robust while strengthening COVID-19 testing and vaccination efforts — plans she mentioned in her Freedom from COVID-19 program.
“We will start stockpiling different COVID treatment medicines and deploy them to areas where there are shortages. We will also accelerate the rollout of Universal Health Care by concentrating on enrolling every Filipino in the UHC system in the first 3 months. While people are signing up, we will start partnering with local health service providers to deliver health services,” she added.
“We will continue to engage all of society in rebuilding our nation and making the lives of all Filipinos better, safer, healthier, and more secure,” she explained.During the earlier part of the year, people called for a P10,000 social aid for low-income families living in areas under hard lockdown, as only essential industries were allowed to operate during the surges.
