MANILA, Philippines – Amid expectations of sustained, long-term “dynamic” growth, the Philippine economy is poised to double by 2026 en route to a gross domestic product (GDP) worth $1 trillion by 2032, research firm IHS Markit said. In a report titled “Philippines Tiger Economy Still Set for Dynamic Growth,” IHS Markit Asia-Pacific chief economist Rajiv Biswas also said that three years from now, the country will reach the upper middle-income status as robust economic growth trickles down to household incomes. “With the Philippines having clocked up a record trade deficit of $41.4 billion in 2018, a key priority will be to make the Philippines more competitive as an investment hub for multinationals, in order to boost exports of...

The daily passenger volume of the LRT-1 is expected to increase from 300,000 to 800,000 once it is...

How important are human rights? Well, before the Holocaust happened, Hitler first just deprived the Jews of their human rights. Then he took their jobs and properties, how can the Jews protest since they didn't have human rights? Then he forced the Jew to be marked with the Star of David, the Jews cannot protest since they didn't have human rights. Hitler then gathered all the Jews in ghettoes, crowding all of them in a small area with crowded small dwellings, how can the Jews protest since they didn't have human rights. These were not enough for Hitler, he transported all of them in labor camps and they worked as slaves, but how can the Jews protest since they didn't have human rights? Finally, Hitler placed them all in gas...

Despite the importance of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law, we don’t hear much about it from the administration’s senatorial bets. If you recall, back in December 2017, lawmakers touted TRAIN as the Duterte government’s “best Christmas and New Year’s gift” for the Filipino people, a milestone in the country’s tax reform history. But aside from the public backlash that TRAIN met last year – when inflation shot up to record highs – two studies by researchers at the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) show that TRAIN worsened the plight of millions of Filipinos. Specifically, using numerical simulations, the studies demonstrate that TRAIN likely worsened poverty and income inequality in the...

Those who constantly travel to and from the Ortigas Business District in Pasig and Bonifacio Global City might soon spend a lot less time stuck in traffic. The Department of Public Works and Highways(DPWH) says that the government’s BGC-Ortigas Center Link Road Project will “do wonders to help decongest traffic in Metro Manila.” The structure is pegged to cost P1.6 billion to build, and will span a total of 961 meters.

The newly signed law that requires bigger license plates on motorcycles aims to cut down on or prevent killings carried out by gunmen on the two-wheeled vehicles, Senator Richard Gordon said on Sunday. "Ipinagtatanggol ko lang ang mga taong pinapatay ng mga riding-in-tandem assassins. They can no longer seek justice for themselves. How do we do justice to these people? You limit the way people can get away with riding without motor plates and riding with stolen motorcycles," Gordon said in a statement issued a day after President Rodrigo Duterte said he would suspend the implementation of the Motorcycle Crime Prevention Act, which he had signed into law last month.

That is what I intend to do,” Duterte said during the PDP-Laban campaign rally in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon last Saturday. “The rich multinationals who acquired leases on many lands, those leases have expired. If they haven’t yet, consider it cancelled because your lands are now under land reform,” he said in taking back the government lands. “There will be no acquisition...
