MANILA — Senate President Chiz Escudero is tackling the parking issues faced by Senate employees and visitors at their current location in Pasay City.

“Here, what are we doing? We are striving to improve parking for Senate employees and visitors to create a more orderly environment. We have secured, requested, and borrowed land from the DPWH to my left to provide approximately 300 parking spaces,” he said.

Escudero also mentioned ongoing negotiations with the Social Security System (SSS) to acquire additional land at the back of the GSIS Building.

“In total, we aim to provide around 1,400 slots for both motorcycles and cars,” he said.

“Orderliness stems from the simple belief and principle that our workplace should be clean and organized. When our environment is tidy and orderly, it often or always influences how we treat our surroundings, which, in turn, impacts our work,” the Senate chief added.
