Global approval of and confidence in the Philippine track is firm, and will stay that way for as long as we keep our sights on the economy and not on partisan politics.
Confidence is fueled by the unity of the people, the spirit of enterprise and the force of regional integration. On these three counts, the Philippines is on the ball and playing the game with solid teamwork and sound strategy.
As we mop up the terror cells in Mindanao and usher in peace, as we consolidate free trade in ASEAN and East Asia, as we drive domestic enterprise to the grassroots and rally all Filipinos behind the fight against poverty—we will be well on the way to winning the grand prize of first world status in 20 years.
Every department and agency of the national government, every local government unit, every sector and component of civil society must row in one direction of a strong Philippine democracy that can compete in all fronts.
