Senator Panfilo \u201cPing\u201d Lacson plans to solve the country\u2019s serious poverty problem by providing more people the opportunity to get an education.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>In his latest <\/span>video<\/span><\/a>, the presidential aspirant, who has battled government corruption throughout his career in public service, points out that many young people are forced to drop out of school because of the need to help their families and because being in school is\u00a0 proving to be a heavy financial burden. Thus, they remain mired in poverty because without a good education their prospects are limited so they often have to settle for jobs that do not pay much.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

He will launch an innovative Edukasyon Plus program if elected President that will provide free education and institute a government internship program. Each family will receive a P5,000 monthly allowance during their family members\u2019 internship. Lacson believes that this arrangement will allow students to focus on their studies as they will not be under pressure to help their families.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven if education is free, young people cannot finish their studies because they have to help their families. If this vicious cycle continues, when will they be able to lift themselves from a life of poverty?\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Studies show that among member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Philippines have the highest school dropout rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Lacson is convinced that education is the only way to give people the chance of a better future and to improve the lives of Filipinos, many, if not most, of whom still live below the poverty line. People remain mired in poverty, unable to get better-paying jobs, for lack of education, he stresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

With Edukasyon Plus, young people can avail of free education and participate in a government internship program that will pay their families a monthly allowance. \u201cThey won\u2019t have to choose anymore between education and work to help their families,\u201d Lacson says. He believes the program will help many people leave behind lives of poverty.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEdukasyon Plus is the real solution to the problem of poverty,\u201d Lacson adds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Lacson and his running mate, Senator Vicente \u201cTito\u201d Sotto, are running on the slogan \u201c<\/span>Aayusin ang gobierno, aayusin ang buhay mo<\/span><\/i>.\u201d (They will fix the government and put your life in order.)<\/span><\/p>\n
