(CNA Reporter Hao Hsueh-ching, Taichung, 18th) President Lai Ching-te visited Shui-An Temple in Taichung to pay his respects this afternoon. Accompanying him was Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Taichung mayoral candidate and legislator Ho Hsin-chun, who proposed a new childcare policy on-site. She advocated for a 'postpartum care subsidy' of 50,000 NTD per child, hoping to support every family working hard to raise children.
President Lai visited Shui-An Temple in Nantun District in the afternoon, praying to the Three Lords for national peace, prosperity, and favorable weather for Taiwan. He also wished for the smooth promotion of Taichung's municipal construction and peace for its citizens. Accompanying him, Ho Hsin-chun thanked the President for his long-term care and support for Taichung's development, noting she fully supports the central budget in the Legislative Yuan.
Representing the DPP in the Taichung mayoral race, Ho Hsin-chun stated in her speech that the central government's promotion of the 'National Childcare for Ages 0-6' policy is crucial support for young families and significantly reduces parents' burdens. If she has the opportunity to assume the responsibilities of mayor in the future, besides continuously strengthening public childcare capacity and improving the uneven distribution of childcare resources, she will further increase support to care for young families.
Ho Hsin-chun also appealed to the President, proposing the nation's first 'postpartum care subsidy' of 50,000 NTD per child. She said that mothers endure great hardship giving birth and raising children. Whether resting in a postpartum care center or recuperating at home, it is a significant burden for the family; therefore, she advocates for the local government to provide an additional 50,000 NTD subsidy.
Ho Hsin-chun believes that the postpartum subsidy, paired with existing central childcare support policies, will assist young families in alleviating pressure. She hopes to use more empathetic policies to support every family working hard to raise children.
Ho Hsin-chun emphasized her hope that the central and local governments will work hand-in-hand to promote various constructions and social welfare policies. She thanked the President for personally visiting Shui-An Temple in Taichung today, and especially for his long-term focus and support for Taichung. In the future, she will continue to listen to public opinion to make Taichung a thriving city. (Editor: Hsieh Ya-chu) 1150418
