Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion emphasized on Tuesday the gradual reopening of businesses in areas under modified enhanced community quarantine will help rebuild the country’s economy.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque announced today that Metro Manila, Cebu City, and Laguna will be under modified ECQ until from May 16 to May 31. One of its guidelines is to allow the limited reopening of select manufacturing and processing plants. He pointed out the importance of having an economic stimulus package, which is being deliberated at present in the House of Representatives.
“In the essential, we’re trying to even ramp that up to about 80 or 90 percent, or we will not be able to supply the foods especially canned food and all of these essentials. It’s a challenge to really ramp up the number of employees who want to go to work,” he said.
