Five things BBM did in two yearsOn June 30, 2024, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Romualdez Marcos Jr. finishes the first two years of his six-year presidency. Two, BBM has focused on the economy and infrastructure, the “Build Better More” (BBM) program. With 31.629 million votes on May 9, 2022, Marcos Jr. garnered 59 percent of the votes cast for president. In 2033, he predicts, “the Philippines will be a $1-trillion economy.” Filipinos will be trillionaires, in dollar terms. To entice private companies to undertake the 185 projects, BBM has shortened the processing time for unsolicited projects under the new Public Private Partnership (PPP) Code, from 26.5 months to 16.9 months for local PPPs and 14.9 months for national PPPs.
