Important, vital question from Social Watch Philippines

AS it normally does, the other day Social Watch Philippines (SWP) issued a statement asking presidential candidates a vital and important question.

Prof. Leonor Magtolis Briones (a former Manila Times columnist), SWP’s convenor, asked: “Candidates have made excessive promises in their platforms. How are they going to deliver these promises [they make] to woo the voters? We know lowering taxes is appealing to voters but the people need to know where the next administration will get the money to compensate for the lost revenues.”
