Proposals on Mitigating the Effects of the Global Financial Crisis
Fast-track issuance of Supreme Court decision to implement Tax Relief Package Law effective on a January 1, 2008.		The mechanism is in place. The administrative cost would be least. There would be immediate direct effects on workers' purchasing power. There would be least leakages.
SSS, GSIS, and Pag-IBIG should be authorized to grant additional and higher grants or loans for workers being displaced.		These would have better, direct effects on pump-priming and welfare of members than investment of these funds overseas or in financial instruments.
The Philippines to declare a moratorium on further tariff reductions under ASEAN Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) and other international commitments.		At this time, our markets would not survive further inroads of dumping and influx of goods made cheaper by subsidies and non-market measures of exporting countries.
A short, temporary moratorium or a short, temporary reduction in the rate of contributions to the SSS, GSIS and Pag-IBIG funds.		Progressive Singapore has reduced the rates of contribution to the CPF funds. It would be wise for the sectors to consider the same.
No reductions in minimum labor standards.		In fact, they should be raised to improve social protection.
