Personal Opinion: This admin needs to prove his critics wrong to shut them off by delivering results.

One example: Just look at the media in how they portray the
headlines for our country. Any negative picture of the country under this admin, these news outlets will be quick to take a ride!

headlines palang pa obvious na.. always negative headline if it comes to Philippines especially Nikkie. especially if they are not in favor of the current president..
slower growth than the first quarter and this is how they present the headline... even if it is still positive news they still find a way to make it look negative.

how much more if it is lower.. they might as well make the headline tabloid like for example: "Philippines gets a sh*tty 2% growth in Q3 no chance of recovery"

Yet when it comes to our neighbors they are praising them like Gods.

In reality:

🟢 SECOND QUARTER
