Same reasons for running out under Duterte: the NFA could not match the palay buying price of commercial traders. FVR’s initial ratings drop in March 1995 was due to the execution in Singapore of overseas Filipino worker Flor Contemplacion. No quick ratings reboundBut the ratings rebound is far from assured. Duterte’s ratings recovery also depends on pushing his promised reforms and initiatives, especially new tax laws, infrastructure, and federalism. To succeed in this second half rally to deliver real change, President Duterte must clean house, and make sure every one of his alter egos is advancing his agenda.
