00:22For over two years under the presidency of Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,

00:30the government now reports a good leap of the country's economic status.

00:34According to the Department of Finance, the Philippines is now second among top

00:39performing countries in the ASEAN region in terms of economic growth.

00:43The Philippines is among the leading economies in the ASEAN region,

00:48growing at 6.1% as of the second quarter of this year.

00:53The agency reported this good economic outcome in a recent economic forum.

00:58In support to this report, Banco Central ng Pilipinas, or BSP,

01:02says the inflation rate in the country now dropped to just 3%,

01:06well within the target of the government's economic managers.

01:10Unemployment rate, meanwhile, declined to 4%, while underemployment is now at 11.2%.

01:16Most of all, the country's international reserve has increased to US$112 billion.

01:46And that's an increase from the end of last year of only 104 billion.

01:53Authorities say these are all the result of the Marcos Jr. administration's effort

01:58under the Philippine Development Plan 2023 to 2028.

02:02This includes allocation of 9.6 trillion peso fund for several infrastructure projects

02:09focused on transportation, water services, digital connectivity,

02:14health and education, among others.
