Naniniwala si Leyte 4th district Rep. Richard Gomez na kung matutupad ang pangako ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. na uunahin ang agriculture industry ay malaking bagay ito para sa mga Filipino na makabangon mula sa epekto ng COVID-19 pandemic at kalamidad.
“I believe that targeting the agriculture industry and improving existing policies and programs would allow stakeholders to increase their yields and their incomes. Our farmers, fisher folks and other industry players have bore the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was compounded by the onslaught of calamities, the foot-and-mouth disease and the bird flu virus. They would immensely benefit from the introduction of mechanized farming and technology and the construction of more farm-to-market roads,” paliwanag pa ng actor-politician.
Natutuwa rin aniya ito sa pahayag ng Pangulo na kailangang magtayo ng mas maraming tourist destinations at pagpapahusay sa mga paliparan at pantalan upang marami ang magkaroon muli ng negosyo.
“I am likewise enthusiastic about the President’s drive to establish more tourist destinations by building more and improving airports and sea ports. In particular, I am excited about his railway program. I am hoping that we will be able to have a railway system in Ormoc City going to Southern Leyte to make traveling to and from Mindanao easier, faster and more comfortable,” sabi nito.
“President Marcos gave the nation an excellent presentation of his administration’s six-year vision. It was both refreshing and comforting to hear the President’s very positive outlook on the future of our country. I laud him for his detailed economic recovery plan, which puts a premium on sustaining infrastructure programs, particularly former President Duterte’s BBB master plan, and instituting reforms and improvements in the agricultural and tourism industries as primary drivers in stabilizing the country’s fiscal condition,” dagdag pa ni Gomez.
