Recovering from the pandemic is the challenge of a lifetime. We need to revive our faith in our institutions and our future as a nation. Then, we can invest our time and our money in patronizing local businesses and visiting our vast and beautiful country. Inquirer’s Project Rebound can be a catalyst in this movement and PDRF, through SIKAP, its unified MSME Resilience Hub, and other projects such as its support of 400 sari-sari stores in the Metro Manila area, will be its partner as we struggle to rebuild not the Philippines as it was, but as a country that is a better, safer and a fairer place to live.
