ICYMI: A Barcelona-based think tank sees unclear economic policies of leading presidential bet Ferdinand Marcos Jr., in contrast to a detailed policy platform of his main competitor, Vice President Leni Robredo, ahead of the Philippines’ May 9 elections.
It did not help that “elections in the Philippines are generally decided based on the candidates’ charisma and personalities rather than their economic platforms, with the country’s mostly sound macroeconomic policy framework unlikely to change drastically regardless of who wins,” FocusEconomics noted.
According to the think tank, “perhaps the most salient aspect of Marcos Jr.’s economic policy platform is its lack of clarity.” “The website for his candidature contains no clear overview of his policy pledges. Meanwhile, his record in office is generally considered to be poor — nearly 70 percent of the laws he pursued in the Senate were connected with festivals and holidays, renaming roads and redrawing borders of provinces and cities, according to the New York Times.
