Alan urges prexy bets to unite, help PH recover from COVID
FORMER Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano has repeated his call for presidential aspirants to unite on platforms that will help the country move past the effects of the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Cayetano emphasized the need for a five-year economic recovery plan and the passing of the 10K Ayuda Bill, as well as continuing the Duterte administration’s Build Build Build infrastructure agenda.
“There are things that are beyond politics. So yes, nag-a-approach na yung 2022 elections. Pero there are things like the five-year plan, sampung libong ayuda, the coconut farmers for example, yung Build Build Build, na dapat yung presidentiables at lahat ng kandidato can get together,” Cayetano said.
He also said the need for common platforms and points of unity among candidates at the national level is more urgent because the impending transfer of power will be made more challenging by the pandemic.
“Mahirap yung transition (sa susunod na administration) kasi pandemic e. Mahirap mangampanya kapag pandemic, pero mas mahirap yung transition,” Cayetano said.
