He told state-run PTV-4 that Filipinos got “sick and tired” of the divisiveness that has defined politics in the Philippines for a “very, very long time,” then “in the midst of this, the message of unity from Marcos Jr. came.
It was likewise in May when the Philippine Statistics Authority announced that 2.93 million Filipinos were unemployed, higher than 2.76 million jobless Filipinos in April. The SWS said out of the 12.2 million households, 48 percent were “poor,” while 31 percent were “borderline poor,” which is the line that divides the “poor” and “not poor.” Some 21 percent considered themselves “not poor.”
Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan had said the domestic consumption and investment on the demand side, as well as the services sector on the supply side, has propelled the economy forward. “The jobs crisis and inflation have worsened due to the lack of production sectors that can provide steady employment and incomes and deliver the requirements for national development,” Ibon Foundation said.
Looking back, the Pambansang Lakas ng Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas, a fisherman’s group, said Marcos should discuss plans to assert sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea, empower local fisheries production, and protect coastal communities.This, as Duterte, in his six-year presidency, had been heavily criticized for his policy on China’s aggression in the West Philippine Sea. In one instance, he described the Philippines’ legal victory against China as a “worthless piece of paper.
The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency said aside from the over 6,000 deaths, 345,216 suspects were arrested in the 239,218 total drug operations started by the police since 2016. But Velasco said he was firm on his stand: “It’s only Marcos Jr. for me and the rest of my relatives here as we believe that he has the heart to serve us, like what his father, Marcos Sr., did.”
“Plus, his name of course and the association with his father has definitely benefited him from that,” she told ANC when the Feb. 18 to 23 survey, which yielded a 60 percent preference rate for Marcos Jr., was released. Tabunda told radio station DZRH that she believed that the result of the April 16 to 21 survey could also be the result in the elections of May 9: “The rest will really have a difficult time coping up in the race.”
She stressed that progressive groups and post-Edsa and 1986 elites likewise failed to strengthen democratic institutions, values and culture, build alternative programs and policies of government, as well as improve the lives of many people. She, however, stressed that the multisectoral coalition could be nurtured post-May elections because of the many lessons from the campaign.Iglesias told INQUIRER.net that Marcos Jr. rose to power in the aftermath of six years of “intense deterioration” of democracy in the Philippines with a promise of continuity rather than reform.
“It actually worked in his favor to disrespect the process of deliberation and electoral competition by not participating in many public debates,” she stressed. For Atienza, “there is not much that has changed from Duterte to Marcos Jr., except in terms of possibly making the Philippines visible again in diplomatic regional and international activities and working with allies again. “
