There’s growth after Aquino

AFTER the myth that President Benigno Aquino 3rd’s reforms supposedly kickstarted the economy’s growth surge, the new dubious line media and analysts are bandying about is that the country’s resurgence may stall once his administration ends.

Both story lines are wrong, though they have held sway among investors, experts, and journalists who should know better. And constantly these reform myths, while helping the Aquino’s camp’s push to stay in power beyond next June, wrongly worries and discourages business.
