MANILA - Vice President Leni Robredo on Monday said improving healthcare in the Philippines must be the top priority when a new administration begins in 2022.
The Philippines meanwhile needs to declare an "education crisis" due to its bad standing on literacy among countries, the Vice President said. The Vice President also said the new administration should also focus on poverty alleviation. An official of the Asian Development Bank last April said poverty in the Philippines worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic and will remain high in 2021.
Berlin-based watchdog Transparency International last February noted that the country's efforts to rein in corruption in the country appear to have "stagnated." This is particularly important, she insisted, since the Duterte administration is currently embroiled in massive corruption issues, particularly on the purchase of anti-pandemic supplies from Pharmally Pharmaceuticals worth billions of pesos.
