REELECTIONIST Senator Richard Gordon vowed to continue helping the country recover from the adverse impact of Covid19 pandemic should he get reelected.

Gordon said the country need not wallow in despair after more than two million Filipinos got stricken with Covid19 since its outbreak last year.

“Nilalabanan natin ang pandemic, katulad ng ginagawa ko sa Philippine Red Cross, 5,000,000 na ang na-test natin. Pinakamarami ‘yan, at para sa ganun ay mababakunahan sila, at mabibigyan ng pagkain ang mga nahihirapang magtrabaho,” he said.

“Hindi legislation ‘yan pero kailangang makalabas ‘yan, pero kailangan din ay tinatawag natin ang mabuhay natin ang ating ekonomiya. We have to make ourselves attractive and by doing that kailangang bantayan natin ang lahat ng gagawin natin sa edukasyon,” he added.

Gordon, who is seeking a second consecutive term in the Senate, said he will also push for the improvement of the country’s lagging education system by providing the necessary tools and support for teachers and students alike.

“We must have the best educational system. Aim high tayo. Gawin nating magaling para ang mga bata ay may pag-asa, dagdagan natin ang mga scholars para makagawa tayo ng mga doctor, engineer at scientist,” he said.
