In the past, the Philippines was called the sick man of Asia. In recent months, we have been described as a star among emerging economies. More recently, we were described by analysts as the region’s economic strongman due, among others, to our resilient growth. This is well and good. But we can make it better.
Let us work together on spreading the benefits from sustained economic growth with those who need it the most. RCM and RCFP lead the way in such programs. Hopefully, we can get more advocates to work on financial inclusion that supports sustained inclusive growth.
