Take a look at where the economy stood when the President took office in 2010, and what has changed since

More than two years into his term, the Philippines boasts of the second-fastest growth rate in the region, next to China; a low budget deficit and improved revenue collection that have earned the country credit rating upgrades; and more jobs.
