VICE PRESIDENT PHILIPPINES

LIBERAL PARTY

The Robredo-Pangilinan tandem's COVID-19 plan, "Kalayaan sa COVID (Freedom from COVID)," centers on three visions: “freedom” from fear of getting sick, freedom from hunger, and freedom from lack of education. They will push for the following: free COVID-19 testing, sufficient vaccines for Filipinos by making sure there are funds for it, increasing the capacity of hospitals, a nurse for each barangay, and implementation of a telemedicine system.

The Robredo-Pangilinan tandem wants to improve the "slow" implementation of the Universal Healthcare Act passed in 2019. Within three months, every Filipino should be enrolled in universal healthcare (UHC). They also want to "fix" the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) by installing a "competent" head. They also wants a team with the capability to analyze PhilHealth claims while maintaining their integrity.

Part of the Robredo-Pangilinan tandem's COVID-19 plan is "freedom from hunger." They promise support for micro, small, and medium enterprises through a P100-billion stimulus package. Retrenched workers would receive 80% of their salary.

The Robredo-Pangilinan tandem promises to fight for laborers' rights. They will push for non-discrimination in the labor force. Anyone, regardless of age, academic attainment, or gender, for as long as they want to, will be allowed a fair chance at working opportunities.

The Robredo-Pangilinan tandem will push for better access to education by opening up schools in low-risk areas for COVID-19, while providing gadgets and free internet access in high-risk areas. Part of their platform is a P68-billion “education aid” – providing P300 per month or P3,000 per year for every student to be used for purchasing load or printing of modules. They are also pushing for additional community learning hubs nationwide.

The Robredo-Pangilinan tandem wants to support green transport – it will be a goal for e-jeeps, e-tricycles, and other sustainable forms of transport to be more common. The increased need to produce green transport would pave the way for new industries focused on the maintenance, manufacture, and sale of climate-friendly transportation. They want green development to be an essential part of local government units' local development plans. The national government would push to provide technical assistance to LGUs for this.

Pangilinan, a lawyer, wants to modernize the justice system. He proposes three things: fill up all the vacancies in the judiciary, add more courts, and hire more judges. Pangilinan also says judges and prosecutors must have increased salaried and benefits as a way of increasing their fold, thereby strengthening the system. Quicker penalization will cause more fear and respect for the law, he says.

The Robredo-Pangilinan tandem would still hold an intensified campaign against illegal drug use in the Philippines, but in contrast to President Rodrigo Duterte's enforcement-first strategy to kill all drug personalities, they would focus on prevention and rehabilitation.

Pangilinan wants to assert the Philippines' claim over the West Philippine Sea. Like his standard-bearer Leni Robredo, he finds no problems dealing with China in non-controversial issues, but says it must recognize the Hague Ruling. Pangilinan has echoed Robredo's stance to form a "coalition of nations," as the Philippines rallies support from a number of nations that have sided with the Philippines because of the arbitral ruling.

Pangilinan is in favor of passing the SOGIE Anti-Discrimination Bill. He authored one of the versions in the Senate.

The Robredo-Pangilinan tandem wants to revive the National Competitive Council under the Department of Trade and Industry. The new NCC will have the following goals: strategize the Philippines' road to being globally competitive, and work towards implementing it. They will push for better enforcement of the Ease of Doing Business Act and strengthen the Anti-Red Tape Authority's mandate. This can be attained by making the Ease of Doing Business framework more comprehensive, and using the concept of the Citizen's Charter to make processes easier in industries that have a public service component.
