Villar stressed this as the country is witnessing a record unemployment level and many Filipinos left without jobs brought by the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
Through House Resolution 1597, Villar urged the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Civil Service Commission (CSC) and other relevant state agencies to intensify online job fairs to further ease unemployment in the country, accelerate the economy and keep families afloat during the economic crisis.

+ February 04, 2021 THE performance of the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) is now being scrutinized by Congress, especially on the implementation of the Sugarcane Industry Development Act (Sida).
Negros Occidental Third District Representative Jose Francisco Benitez, who presided over the House Inquiry on measures to strengthen the sugar industry after congress passed a resolution opposing the Sugar Liberalization, said they are discussing two bills and a resolution pertaining to amendments on the Sida Law authored by his brother former congressman Alfredo Benitez. It s really an inquiry on how to best improve the function of the SRA and the implementation of the Sida Law based on issues that emerged last year when congressmen united against the sugar liberalization, he said.
