Actually, more wealth but also more poor.

3 richest Filipinos got richer - Villar/Razon/Ang wealth grew Php317B to Php1.1 trillion in 2023 from year before.

SWS self-rated poor also grew from 45% (2019) to 48% (2023), with 46% so far in March 2024 - or 1.9M more poor Filipinos.

Ginagawa lang ng Marcos clan na excuse ang economic Chacha to extend their stay in power!

It's about time na i-remind natin sila ng kapangyarihang taglay ng constituents nila na nagkakaisa para sa tunay na kapakanan ng bansa.

Balikatan military exercises with US under Marcos govt are the biggest ever – US troops grew from a few hundred in 1990s to as much as 12K in 2023. This signals US readiness to go to war in the region to protect its interests, with the smaller PH military as its junior partner.

Pres. Marcos Jr just ordered the Dept of Agriculture to make food imports easier with AO No. 20.

Over 30 years of that kind of foolish agricultural liberalization has gravely worsened PH's food insecurity and import dependence, not just in rice but many other commodities.

'Decades of so many palliative food security programs haven't stopped food insecurity. Neoliberal strategies that make food expensive in the first place must be repudiated.'
