PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT AGENDA
BAYANIHAN TO RECOVER AS ONE ACT
On 11 September 2020, Republic Act No. 11494 was signed into law. Also known as the “Bayanihan to Recover As One Act”, the law affirms the continuing existence of a national emergency in view of the unabated spread of the COVID-19 virus and the ensuing economic disruption. The law aims to reduce the adverse impact of the pandemic on the well-being of Filipinos through the provision of assistance, subsidies, and other forms of socioeconomic relief. One form of assistance is the exemption from import duties of identified critical/essential products, raw materials, supplies, or equipment which have been certified by the Department of Trade and Industry as not being locally available or whose local equivalents are of insufficient quality and preference.
WE RECOVER AS ONE
The National Economic and Development Authority has issued a Report entitled “We Recover as One” containing the recommendations of the Technical Working Group for Anticipatory and Forward Planning (under the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases or IATF) on rebuilding confidence and adjusting to the “new normal” in the Philippines.
AMBISYON NATIN 2040
President Rodrigo R. Duterte signed Executive Order (EO) No. 5 in October 2016 approving and adopting the 25-year long-term vision entitled "AmBisyon Natin 2040" as guide for development planning. "AmBisyon Natin 2040" articulates the Filipino people's collective vision of a MATATAG, MAGINHAWA, AT PANATAG NA BUHAY PARA SA LAHAT.
In its preamble, EO No. 5 emphasized the need for a “bold vision and effective development planning” based on a “forward-looking approach that goes beyond a single administration". The Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022, as well as succeeding PDPs until 2040, is anchored on "AmBisyon Natin 2040". The current PDP also takes into account Philippine international commitments such as the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
