MANILA, Philippines – The World Economic Forum (WEF) on East Asia is held in the Philippines with the theme “Leveraging Growth for Equitable Progress.”
Joined by the heads of state of the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia, as well as the Vice President of Myanmar, at least 70 public figures from 20 countries and 460 business leaders gather to share ideas and strategies on inclusive growth.
Budget Secretary Butch Abad talks about the successes of the Philippine economy, which he says, is rooted in good governance. Abad also talks about the multi-billion-peso pork barrel scam, in which he was recently implicated. He says the exposé of the scandals under the Aquino administration shows government is willing to be transparent and accountable. (READ: Abad, Alcala, 12 senators in signed Napoles list)
Abad also talks about how lawmakers and the executive should work together after the controversy generated by the misuse of lawmakers’ Priority Development Assistance Fund.
WEF is an opportunity for business and government leaders to come together a year before the integration of ASEAN member-countries.
