Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon on Thursday identified four "most pressing issues" that President-elect Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. should include in his "to-do list."
“First and foremost, the issue of health. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the weakness and inadequacy of our healthcare system. We lack hospitals. Our health information system is inefficient. We do not provide sufficient protection and benefits to our healthcare professionals both in the public and private sectors,” he added.
"The country’s weak healthcare system coupled by the mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic put the country in a dire situation," he added. “This should worry the next administration. I cannot imagine a future with 9 out of 10 Filipino children who cannot read,” Drilon said. Drilon also stressed the need for a strong economic team that will lead the country's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Drilon, the economy is in a "very difficult situation" as the national government's debt hit"We continuously incur a huge budget deficit because of our inefficient tax collection that is made even worse by the pandemic. Our COVID-19 war chest is dwindling, yet, the pandemic is still within our midst,” Drilon said.
