The PDP, anchored on President Benigno S. Aquino III’s 16-point “Social Contract with the Filipino People”, envisions inclusive growth for the country. Inclusive growth means growth that is shared by all and opposed to the trickle down, jobless growth that we have seen over the recent years.
With good governance and anti-corruption as overarching theme, the Plan has three broad strategies. First is a high and sustained economic growth, which provides productive and decent employment opportunities. The second strategy is provision of equal access to development opportunities across geographic areas and across different income and social spectrum, which will ensure that economic growth and opportunities translate to poverty reduction. Thirdly, the Plan will push for the implementation of effective and responsive social safety nets in order to assist those who will not be
able to catch up by the character of a rapid economic growth.
