The Palace sees the achievements in the year
2014 to continue in the remaining days of the Aquino administration saying last
year was a good year for the Philippines despite the challenges.
For those in the administration serving the President, deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said that with less than 540 days to go before the President's term ends, they do not see the year 2014 as an ending but rather a period for continuing to do more.
"To do as many things as possible in the remainder of the President’s term," Valte noted.
In his message for the New Year, President Aquino summarized the country's gains in 2014.
These include the continuing upward trajectory of the country's economy with the upgrades of major credit rating agencies in 2014.
The upgrades given to the Philippines by Standard & Poors and Moody’s last year made the country even more attractive to businesses and tourists.
These gains gave the government enough resources to pursue programs that improves the people's lives particularly on social protection, education, and job creation, the President said.
Year 2014 also saw the signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, which would bring lasting peace in Mindanao.
The peace pact will open the floodgates for tourism and investments to the island, the President said. He said he expects further development in the region once the Bangsamoro Basic Law is passed.
The President also said in his message that the country also made strides in terms of disaster preparedness, with both the national and local governments performing better in 2014.
He thanked front-liners, first-responders, volunteers, and partners for their contributions in responding to the calamities that hit the country last year.
At the same time, the President rallied the support of every Filipino now that his administration is approaching its final year saying every step and contribution becomes more crucial in the country's quest to create a more inclusive future. (PCOO News Release)
