Department of Finance Secretary Sonny Dominguez was very
frank that Filipinos should be grateful to President Rodrigo Roa Duterte for
insisting on a “conservative” economic policy during the first four years of
his six-year term.
“Mr. President, you have created an economy that can stand a
hard-hit and I think the Filipino people should thank you for your very
conservative economic policies,” said Dominguez
The Secretary of Finance explains that the Duterte
administration’s policies in tax collections, curb spending, borrow less and
keep prices of basic goods and services low have proved has been a godsend in
this time when the Philippines was faced with one of the worst pandemics in
history.

“Noong pumasok kayo noong 2016, ang order niyo ho sa amin is
to manage the economy for the welfare of the Filipino people. Ang ibig sabihin
nun, lahat ng collection natin ng taxes should be collected efficiently at
lahat ng gastos natin should be very conservative and really huwag tayo
mag-waldas ng pera. So ang resulta ho noon ay maganda ‘yung position ng economy
natin so kaya even though we have a bad — a bad luck to have this COVID-19, we
are very well-prepared,” explains Dominguez.
“Ang growth ho natin from 2016 ay average 6.4 percent. ‘Yung
collection natin ng income ng government ay — is the highest in 22 years as a
percentage of our growth. Ang utang ho natin is — has gone down to the lowest
it has been in terms of percentage to GDP (gross domestic product) and it’s
only now 41.5 percent. Dati ho 70 percent of GDP ‘yan. Ang inflation ho natin
bumaba na. So it’s — last month it was two and a half percent and it is within
our target of two to four percent,” he added.
