Philippines seeing signs of economic growth


Philippines ambassador Charles C Jose: "We are seeing signs of growth in multiple sectors despite the extremely difficult external and domestic environment."

DESPITE imposing one of the world’s longest and strictest lockdowns, coronavirus cases in the Philippines have now surged past 230,000, with Indonesia eclipsed as the region’s biggest outbreak.

The virus resurgence is said to have been fuelled by testing gaffes and failures in quarantine protocol in the face of over 100,000 overseas Filipino workers arriving back home after losing their jobs.
