President Marcos delivered on Monday his second State of the Nation Address , which focused on hot-button social and economic issues close to the heart of Filipinos. Reporting that the government was able to “revive and rejuvenate” the economy, he vowed to keep the country’s economic growth on track by attracting more investments, sustaining infrastructure projects, upskilling our workforce and going after smugglers and hoarders of agricultural products.
Citing the country’s economic expansion that peaked at 7.6 percent in 2022, the highest growth rate in 46 years, Marcos declared: “We are still considered to be among the fastest-growing economies in the Asian region and the world. It is a testament to our strong macroeconomic fundamentals.” These programs are expected to help in the government’s target of generating jobs for the remaining 4.3 percent of our workforce, as well as for the 11.7 percent underemployed Filipinos.
