ANG TAHIMIK NA PAGSISIKAP NI PBBM AY NAGSISIMULA NANG MARAMDAMAN NANG MALAKIHAN – SPEAKER ROMUALDEZ

Sinabi ngayong Huwebes ni Speaker Martin G. Romualdez na, nagsisimula nang maramdaman ang mga pagsisikap ni Pangulong Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. na mabaligtad ang ekonomiyang pinabagsak ng pandemya, sa patunay na paglago ng gross domestic product (GDP) ng Pilipinas sa 7.6 porsyento sa third quarter, ang unang pagbawi ng ekonomiya ng kasalukuyang administrasyon. 

"President Marcos silent hard work on uplifting the economy is beginning to work. The economic expansion in the months of July to September 2022 is proof of that," ani Romualdez. 

"I myself witnessed how the President engaged business stakeholders here and abroad with the purpose of moving forward from ravages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic," ayon pa sa kinatawan ng Unang Distrito ng Leyte. 

"Truly our mindset is now in the endemic phase in terms of our economic strategy. The House of Representatives will follow through with this emerging policy so we may build on this economic growth. The Chief Executive has indeed shown us the right direction," dagdag pa ng Pangulo ng Partido Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD). 

Iniulat ngayong Huwebes ng Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) na ang ekonomiya ng Pilipinas ay lumago ng 7.6 porsyento sa third quarter ng 2022 – ang unang full quarter ng administrasyong Marcos. Naupo lamang si Marcos sa Malacañang noong ika-30 ng Hunyo. 

Pinatotohanan ito ni Albay 2nd District Rep. Joey Sarte Salceda, chairman ng House Committee on Ways and Means, na tumutukoy sa mga palatandaan ng mabilis na paglago ng ekonomiya sa ilalim ng administrasyong Marcos. 

"OFW remittance figures also jumped in August, near the end of the quarter. Data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) showed cash remittances sent through banks stood at $2.72 billion in August, higher than the $2.60 billion a year earlier. The growth in remittances was the fastest since 4.4 percent in June," ayon kay Salceda. 

"There was also 24.79 percent year-on-year growth in tax collections in September, indicating that economic activity, the base of taxation, was getting stronger," pagbabangit ni Salceda, na isang miyembro ng Lakas-CMD. 

"The September jobs report also showed that the largest year-on-year jobs gainer was manufacturing, at 1.09 million more jobs. Manufacturing jobs growth tends to indicate positive macroeconomic fundamentals. In total, 4 million jobs were created year-on-year by September," ani Salceda. 

"Likewise, 1.5 million freelancers with foreign employers are not being accounted for in full in the national income accounts," dagdag pa niya. #
