“Ang national government na lang ang may kakayahan magpatupad ng public works . The infusion of capital and jobs to be generated by these projects will be a much-needed boost to the economy. It will start the gears moving, so to speak,” said Revilla.Revilla also pointed out that it’s been two weeks since Inter-Agency Task Force of Emerging Infectious Diseases has released Resolution No.
“There is no perfect time to resume public works but now. As we embrace the so-called ‘New Normal’ way of life, we need to get back on track with due haste to avoid undue delays,” said Revilla.For more information on COVID-19, call the DOH Hotline: 86517800 local 1149/1150.
