Gov't wants poverty rate down to 11% by end of Duterte's term

In a statement Tuesday, the National Economic and Development Authority said the government is now working to trim the poverty rate to just 11 percent by the end of President Rodrigo Duterte's term, lower than the 14 percent goal set in 2016.

Philippine Statistics Authority data show 16.6 percent or about 17.6 million Filipinos remained poor, lower than the 23.5 million in 2015. "The government must continue to generate more quality jobs, increase the income of the poor, reduce the vulnerability of the poor through social programs and financial literacy, and the intensified implementation of the National Program on Population and Family Planning," Pernia said.

We are all rich, by having life is already priceless, your existence is pure value, it’s your choice to be POOR or not. Take for example, Manny Pacquiao, hindi siya basta basta SINUWERTE... Its ON YOUR MIND and take action, treat problems as opportunity. Your welcome

EJK is also part of the poverty reduction methodology of the Duterte administration

Achievable. Tokhang 2.0. Kill more 'drug users and pushers' who are poor. Ergo, less poor people.
