President Rodrigo Duterte’s government marks the first half of his term with the fulfillment of one of its biggest promises -- to provide “quality health services” for all, through the passage of a comprehensive universal healthcare law.
Ridding the government of corrupt officials remains one of President Rodrigo Duterte’s noteworthy promises since taking office.
The government’s P9-trillion Build, Build, Build program is now halfway to “revolutionizing” public infrastructures in the country, according to Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar.
President Rodrigo Duterte did not include his economic assessment and outlook in his State of the Nation Address (SONA) in 2018. Instead, he focused on urging lawmakers to pass key legislation that will help support his administration’s economic agenda.
When President Rodrigo Duterte in his third State of the Nation Address (SONA) vowed to “continue to assert and pursue an independent policy,” he has done so in other fronts except for one: the territorial dispute with China in the West Philippine Sea.
