The good newsAnd now for the good news of 2023:The pandemic is over; in May, the World Health Organization lifted the declaration of COVID-19 as a global health emergency. It’s been a good year for the person who reportedly gave that knee-jerk advice to Mr. P20-a-kilo rice. The year 2023 has been generally good for Marcos 2.0, based on his still high survey ratings. Let’s hope his chosen replacement, fishing tycoon Francisco Tiu-Laurel Jr., will provide some good news in the ailing agricultural sector this 2024. Perhaps a Supreme Court ruling institutionalizing the reforms will be among the pieces of good news in 2024.
