| October 22, 2008 @ 10:40pm | Thank you for your questions. Here are my brief answers to them:
• Solution and alternatives to our ever-growing oil crisis and alternatives:
The best and long term solution to this problem is self-sufficiency in oil production. Since this is a long-shot remedy, the government, in coordination with the private sector, should work hand in hand towards the achievement of a sustainable supply of oil at reasonable price.
• Bills I am planning to pass that will have a great effect to help our country’s economy and development:
I have filed my 20 priority bills that address the various concerns of our country. They may not directly affect the economy but they intend contribute to the development of our people and our country as a whole:

151* An Act appropriating the amount of two hundred thousand pesos (P200,000.00) per annum for every barangay for six consecutive years to constitute a fund known as the Rural Livelihood and Economic Development Fund.
152* An Act amending Article 287 of P.D. 442, as amended, otherwise known as the Labor Code of the Philippines, by providing financial assistance to employees who reached the age of sixty five but are not entitled to any retirement pay.

155* An Act providing for relief from and execution of final decisions and awards of the National Labor Relations Commission and the labor arbiters.
156* An Act amending R.A. 4670, otherwise known as the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers, and for other purposes.
157* An Act providing for additional benefits and protection to househelpers.

180* An Act amending Article 287 of P.D. 442, as amended, otherwise known as the Labor Code of the Philippines, by requiring employers to release the retirement pay of employees within fifteen days from submission of complete documentary requirements.
• Priorities to be resolved first among the many problems/crisis our country is experiencing:
I believe that the most immediate concern that the government should address is the provision of basic necessities of our people – food, health, decent shelter, and employment. If we have a healthy and productive citizenry, they will all be able to contribute to the development of our country.
Thank you very much!
