MACROECONOMIC POLICIES. We are going to maintain good
macroeconomic fundamentals, which includes addressing the
issues of tax evasion, corruption, and smuggling. By reducing
tax evasion, corruption and smuggling, revenue generation
will be boosted substantially, even if we reduce tax rates, for
example.
2. Institute progressive tax reform and more
effective tax collection, indexing taxes to inflation.
• TAX REFORM. We [also aim to] make the tax system more equitable
and more progressive, meaning lighter burden for lower-income
groups and higher tax rates for higher-income groups. Our tax system
should be more competitive with our ASEAN neighbours, at least, and
other neighbouring countries in Asia.

• E.g. TRAIN LAW

3. Increase competitiveness and the ease of doing business.
This effort will draw upon successful models used to attract
business to local cities (e.g., Davao) and pursue the relaxation
of the Constitutional restrictions on foreign ownership, except
as regards land ownership, in order to attract foreign direct
investment.
Reforms to ensure competitiveness and promote ease of

4. Accelerate annual infrastructure spending
to account for 5% of GDP, with Public-Private
Partnerships playing a key role.

agriculture, infrastructural and expanding improving the construction
and rehabilitation to roads and the irrigation.
• Establishing modern harvest facilities to minimize losses.
• Accelerate infrastructure spending improving national roads and
bridges and implementing the Mindanao Logistics Infrastructure
network and other road network.

5. Promote rural and value chain development
toward increasing agricultural and rural enterprise

 We shall also conduct nationwide soil analysis
to determine areas most suitable for rice
farming to optimize production.

To use effective soil rehabilitation and

fertilization, we shall strictly enforce fisheries
laws particularly on illegal fishing and promote
aquaculture along riverbanks.
6. Ensure security of land tenure to encourage
investments, and address bottlenecks in land
management and titling agencies.

LAND REFORM.
There is a need to review the land reform program, which has
a checkered kind of performance.

The government has issued the ancestral certificate titling

covering vast thrust of land especially in the Island of
indigenous people of Mindanao (Indigenous peoples right Act)
to protect and assist them.

 8. Promote science, technology, and the creative
arts to enhance innovation and creative capacity
towards self-sustaining, inclusive development.
• INNOVATION IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE ARTS.
• Research on Science and technology has always been
overlooked area of development resulting in a shortage
of innovation. Unless we take a serious stand in the
field of Science and technology, the country’s workers
will remain mediocre alongside their foreign
counterparts.
9. Improve social protection programs, including
the government’s Conditional Cash Transfer
program, to protect the poor against instability
and economic shocks.
To strengthen the delivery of social services, the
government will intensify its protection programs, so it can

poverty levels.

Development Plan.
