Tolentino wants LGUs, private sector included in IATF enablePagination: false endIndex: Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 4) - Senator Francis Tolentino on Sunday proposed that local government units and the private sector should have a voice in the COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force, noting the two sectors know the actual situation on the ground. In a radio interview, Tolentino pushed for the inclusion of the Union of Local Authorities in the Philippines (ULAP) and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) in the IATF. Tolentino - who chairs the Senate Committee on Local Government - cited the deadlock between the Cebu provincial government and the IATF on quarantine rules for returning Filipinos. He said it's important to synchronize the recommendations of the national government, LGUs, and the private sector to prevent conflicting policies over health and safety protocols.
