Legarda Meets IMF’s Lagarde



Caption:

Senator Loren Legarda, Chair of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, meets International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde in a lunch during the IMF chief’s visit to the Philippines. Legarda echoed Lagarde’s call to ensure inclusive growth, especially through support for rural enterprises, to reduce poverty. The Senator stressed that laws on rural livelihoods—the Magna Carta for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Act (RA 9501), the Barangay Kabuhayan Act (RA 9509), and the Agri-Agra Reform Credit Act (RA 10000), should be fully implemented.

Way to go out and take what our country needs! There's nothing like a leader that actually serves his/her (in this case, her) country. Cheers Loren! I'm gaining more and more hope in our beautiful country! :)

Thanks for this information, I really find it amazing to know that at least SOME of our politicians are actually doing something for us.

Malaki ang paniniwala ko na ang poverty ay isa sa mga pinakamalaking problema ng ating bansa kaya't natutuwa ako pag nakakatagpo ako ng mga ganitong balita. Okay ka Loren! Salamat!

Sana gumaya sayo yung iba pa nating mga leader! Sana magsikilos din sila, gusto naming mga mamamayan yung mga gumagawa ng paraan at may mga resulta, wag yung puro pacute lang. Salamat Loren!
