Reelected Davao City 3rd District Representative Isidro Ungab vowed to make all necessary services available and easily accessible to his constituents in the third district of Davao City.
“I know that everyone is aware of the world economic crisis and food shortages. With dark clouds looming, both on the national and international scenes, expect that I will be at the forefront of this struggle, using every talent and experience that I have, and experience that I have, to help my country as a legislator to contribute to overcoming the economic and financial whirlwind that creep our country today,” he said in his inaugural speech on Monday.
Ungab earlier warned the public of an economic slump in the second half of 2022 as the country faces a global rise in the inflation rate. Apart from that, he said the country will also face skyrocketing gas prices, and a looming food shortage amidst the prolonged Russia-Ukraine War.
Ungab stated that Filipinos should be prepared and must wisely plan on how to budget their income and expenses for the next months.
“We foresee difficult times ahead…and it is up to us if we can safely ride it through and survive or go unprepared and succumb to the strong financial distress, being experienced globally”, Ungab warned.
Ungab suggested that Filipinos should explore and look for other sources of income and become innovative when these times come.
Ungab also recommended for the incoming administration prepare and update the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan for 2023–2028, since it will become the basis of budgeting the expenditures in the coming months and years of the Marcos administration.
