MANILA – President Benigno S. Aquino III has stressed the importance of intensifying the implementation of programs to “further bolster the foundations for sustainable and inclusive growth and progress for all Filipinos.”

In a statement issued yesterday, Communication Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. said that “in a special cabinet meeting, the President called the attention of the Cabinet on the recent sidebar report in the June 15, 2015 edition of Time Magazine Asia, which showed the Philippines as having the highest number of citizens saying they were optimistic on finding jobs at 66 percent. The country was followed by the United States with 51 percent, India — 34 percent, Venezuela — 22 percent, Sudan — 18 percent, and Italy — 3 percent.”

“The report, which cited a Gallup poll covering 130 countries, asked citizens’ opinions on local job opportunities, mirrors a similar survey of the Social Weather Stations (SWS) in March 2015, which shows that the number of Filipinos expecting their personal quality of life to improve or net personal optimism at a ‘very high’ rating of +37 percent – the highest since 1987.

“In the remaining months of the Aquino administration, the President called on the Cabinet to intensify the implementation of programs that would further bolster the foundations for sustainable and inclusive growth and progress for all Filipinos,” the Palace official further said. pna
