Believing that full government assistance, identification of safety nets, and a five-year transition period to prepare SMEs with the advent of liberal economy and open trading are significant to enjoy the benefits of GATT-WTO.
B.GEOGRAPHIC IMPACT
When Senator Magsaysay expressed his belief that there was collusion between the military and the Abu Sayyaf expressed through a Senate Committee Report after conducting investigations on the Basilan siege, many agreed that the solon wanted national reform and would not countenance wrongdoing. While he believed that the Filipino soldiers should be accorded the highest recognition by anchoring laws which would further professionalize their ranks by increasing militia’s base pay, providing them and their families scholarships and housing assistance, and upgrading the table of the AFP organization, he also would not tolerate abuses and violations of the basic rights of the civilians.
C. YEARS OF DEDICATED WORK AND SERVICE
His entry into politics came in 1966, when he was elected as Congressman in the lone district of Zambales, until 1969. He went back to the private sector soon after. Gifted with a keen business sense and learned in the ways of mechanics, he pioneered the cable TV industry in the country in the early '70s when antennas for cable television were things unheard of. Today, with roughly 900 cable operators nationwide, the cable television business has turned into a multi-billion peso a year industry. And in recognition of setting the blueprint for the sector, Magsaysay is known as “The Father of Cable Television.”
For the last nine years since his election in 1995 and his subsequent reelection in 2001, Senator Jun Magsaysay strives to work for legislation that will help improve the living conditions of the majority of the Filipino people. His programs and policies for the development of cooperatives and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are geared toward encouraging ordinary Filipinos to make use of their individual capabilities as they strive to attain their socio-economic goals and uplift their standard of living to a more decent and humane condition.
Likewise, he is the proponent of programs that empower the ordinary Filipino and help in the economic transformation of our society through Information Technology (IT), E-commerce, SME start-ups, professionalization of varied sectors and improving the cooperatives’ viability.
At present, he chairs two major committees : agriculture and food, and science and technology.
