00:08An economist said that this means that more Filipinos are getting hungry.

00:15Maki Pulido was the one who pointed it out.

00:20Even if the target growth rate or economic growth is lowered from 6.5% to 6% for 2024,

00:27the government will still struggle to reach it.

00:34An economist said that this means that more Filipinos are getting hungry.

00:40The country's economy grew by 5.6% in 2024, but that's not enough for the government's target growth rate or economic growth.

00:46Even in the fourth quarter of 2024, the country's economy will still struggle to reach its target growth rate.

00:54In the entire year of 2024, the sectors that contributed the most are the following.

01:01Wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles that accounted for 1.0%,

01:08financial and insurance activities that accounted for 0.9%,

01:13and construction that accounted for 0.7%.

01:18While this falls short of our target growth rate of 6% to 6.5%,

01:24we are positioned as the third fastest-growing economy in the region.

01:29According to economist Professor Emanuel Leco,

01:32this means that more Filipinos are getting hungry.

01:36This means that the people's pockets are being hit when it comes to high purchases.

01:43Our government should realize this.

01:46She noticed the vendors in the market because some of them only buy one piece per customer.

01:52They said that the vegetables are expensive, that's how they are.

01:55The budget is not enough.

01:57Alan's problem is the budget, he's a minimum wage earner.

02:01He has eight family members and he needs to earn P500 per day just for food.

02:06Before, we used to buy 10. Now, it's 2 kilos.

02:10As time goes by, it's getting harder.

02:13As of 2025, the government's target is 6% to 8% in the economy.

02:18NEDA said that they are confident that this will be achieved.
