Go refiles bill aiding distressed businesses

SEN. Christopher Lawrence "Bong" Go on Thursday refiled Senate Bill 1182 or the "Government Financial Institutions Unified Initiatives to Distressed Enterprises for Economic Recovery (Guide) Act," citing the need to provide assistance to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and other strategically important companies (SICs) affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

"We are hoping to overcome the pandemic very soon. While we are doing everything to protect the lives of our countrymen, we also need to look into their livelihoods. Let us assist them to fully recover. No Filipino should be left behind in our road toward full and inclusive economic recovery," Go said.
