CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Vice Gov. Lilia “Nanay” Pineda has been designated chair of the newly organized Pampanga Recovery and Rehabilitation Team (PRRT) principally tasked to map out strategies to jumpstart the local economy.
Executive Order No. 23, S-2020 signed by Gov. Dennis “Delta” Pineda on Sept. 8 created the PRRT to serve as the economic cluster within the existing local Covid-19 task force as “urged” by the Department of the Interior and Local Government “for the LGUs to start planning and budgeting for local recovery and rehabilitation now, even if the Covid-19 pandemic is not yet over…”
Named members of the PRRT are the chairpersons of the sangguniang panlalawigan committees on health, appropriation, trade, infrastructure, education, agriculture and aquaculture.
Also designated members are the chiefs of the provincial offices on health, investment and promotion, public employment service, social welfare and development, tourism, agriculture, veterinary, engineering, manpower and training, disaster risk reduction and management, and the local finance committee.
The provincial planning and development office serves as the PRRT secretariat.
In a social media post on Monday, Governor Pineda said the PRRT has already started consultation meetings with former President and House Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and 2nd District Rep. Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo.
The governor also said that a survey has been salted for the business sector through the Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry for their inputs in the formulation of the province’s recovery plan, strategies and programs.
“Sabay po nating ginagawa ang pagkontrol sa Covid-19 habang habang dahan-dahan nating ibinabangon ang ating ekonomiya,” said Pineda.
