President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. started his first three months in office with one of the most impressive economic performances in any administration. Our gross domestic product expanded 7.6 percent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2022, which is the President’s first three months in Malacañang.

The high prices of food, fuel and transport are testing the patience of Filipino consumers. It is common for ordinary Filipinos nowadays to complain about their shrinking budget.


President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is not oblivious to the complaints of the consumers. He knows the problem well, even conceding that life “is getting hard” for Filipinos amid rising inflation.

It was an aspiration that started blossoming in 2011. We held the 1st OFW and Family Summit on Nov. 24 with the theme “Kabuhayan Para sa Kinabukasan” which encapsulated our vision for Filipinos working abroad — that they acquire the skills and knowledge of entrepreneurship so that the money they earned through hard work and a lot of sacrifice will not go to waste.
