Since President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. was sworn in as the 17th President of the Philippines, the country has seen a myriad of highs and lows. How did he do in his one-year mark as head of state? | via philstarlife
Manhit said a “consistent” weak spot in Marcos Jr.’s presidency thus far has been the issue of inflation. “Of course, it takes a lot effort and resources to address, but we hope that our government can put effort in the resources allocated to ensure that our food security will be used properly, focus on more strategies, and be more responsive to the general public.”
“But on one hand, I remember the words of the President: ‘Hindi ayuda kundi trabaho ang gusto ng tao.’ I agree with him on that,” Manhit said. “How can the government create an environment or business to invest more if they don’t create more jobs? As they create more jobs, they can generate better livelihood, better income for our people.”
For political analyst Jean Franco, the “formidable team with competence and enough experience” that Marcos Jr. has appointed during his term “says a lot about his desire to fix things and to recover whatever it is that we’ve lost during the pandemic.”For Franco, Marcos Jr. seems to have been “bent on revitalizing the family name” ever since he kicked off his presidency.
