Binay vows to put Bohol on growth track

Vice President Jejomar Binay, citing the results of a recent Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey on self-rated poverty and poverty statistics in Bohol, vowed to create more jobs to address what he called the moral issue the country faces at the moment.

The survey, conducted from December 5-8 among 1,200 adults nationwide, showed that 50 percent of respondents (equivalent to 11.2 million families) rated themselves mahirap (poor), similar to the 50 percent (11 million) in the September survey.
