LAWMAKER EYEING TO REVIVE EDUCATION SECTOR

/ 10 April 2022

SENATOR Richard Gordon is eyeing to revive the floundering education and agricultural sector, stressing face-to-face classes must resume in order to start learning recovery.

“Our platform should be, make the Philippines first. Hindi lang because we want to be first. Hindi tayo magiging first kung bulok ang education natin,” Gordon said.

“Ang pandemic, hindi na pandemic. Endemic na iyan eh. Humina na iyan. So we should continue with face masks, we should continue with washing our hands, distancing,” Gordon added, referring to the resumption of face-to-face classes.

Gordon is also adamant of his desire to transform the Philippines into a first-world country in the future through his effective legislation, if reelected.

The senator said he will focus on crafting laws that would enrich the national landscape.

“My priority has always been the same. When are we going to be a first world country? I did that in Subic. Nagawa ko iyon sa tourism. We became competitive with WOW Philippines,” he further stressed.

Ever since entering public service, Gordon’s mission is to uplift the common man by bringing out the best at what they do.
