President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. expressed satisfaction with the government’s economic achievements last year, underscoring the need to communicate these successes more effectively to the public.

 

During the 24th National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Board Meeting in Malacañang, Marcos acknowledged the significant progress made but stressed that more work is needed to connect government actions with the lives of ordinary Filipinos. 

 

“I'm quite satisfied. I’m even proud. I would go as far as saying I’m proud of the things that we have achieved.”

 

“But we have to make it known to people that this is what we are doing. So, it has to be in a language that is easily digestible and in a language that makes sense to Juan dela Cruz.  We’re falling behind in making the connection between what we are doing to the lives of ordinary Filipinos,” he added.

 

He also acknowledged that the government is implementing major structural reforms and projects that need time, emphasizing that it must be explained to the public that some projects require a long time to finish.

 

Marcos mentioned the need to highlight the importance of opening the Bataan-Cavite Bridge which, according to him, would ease traffic congestion in Metro Manila and open up all other places in Central Luzon and Calabarzon.

 

Additionally, the President stressed the need for a comprehensive report on initiatives ensuring food security to explain how these steps will benefit Filipino families, why they are crucial for the future, and how they improve the overall quality of life.

 

Neda Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said for this year, the Philippines aims to sustain a higher growth trajectory—a gross domestic product (GDP) growth target of 6.0-8.0 percent compared to last year’s 6.0 -6.5 percent target; headline inflation rate within 2.0 -4.0 percent; and poverty incidence below 13.2 percent this year and 9.0 percent in 2028.
