Malacañang said on Tuesday that the administration of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte was able to "achieve more" compared to the combined terms of former President Benigno S. Aquino III and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
The statement was issued by Spokesperson Salvador Panelo after Arroyo called on the administration to produce "tangible results" this year to ease poverty.
The Duterte administration should urgently implement its promised economic programs this 2019 after she hailed the slowdown of inflation said Arroyo who is currently the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“Such is the consequence of what we have pointed out in our previous narratives on the President’s understanding of the intricacies of the Philippine economy, which he decisively addressed and which his economic managers implemented,” Panelo said.
“This is a good case of statesmanship demanded by our people from their elected leaders,” he said.
“The Speaker must be aware that the two and half years of the Duterte presidency has achieved more than the combined terms of the Arroyo and Aquino presidencies in terms of major policy reforms and flagship infrastructure projects duly processed and ready for groundbreaking, and some already near completion,” he pointed out.
He also said the “administration has wasted no time and resources in enhancing workers’ employability and competitiveness, and for 2018, we generated 826,000 net employments with services and industry as main drivers for growth, as per the report of the Department of Labor and Employment.”
“We expect to create more jobs this year and the coming years with the Build, Build, Build Infrastructure Program now firing in all cylinders,” he added.
