1. Expand the "Build better more program" in economic growth
"Build better more" refers to the concept of enhancing economic growth through various measures and
strategies. It encompasses the idea of improving the quality and quantity of economic activities to foster
sustainable development and prosperity.
To build better more, countries can focus on the following aspects:
1. Infrastructure Development: Investing in modern infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, ports, and
energy networks, can boost economic growth by improving connectivity, reducing transportation costs,
and attracting investments.
2. Education and Skill Development: Promoting education and skill development initiatives can enhance
human capital, fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and productivity. This leads to higher economic
output and competitiveness in the global market.
3. Research and Development: Encouraging research and development activities promotes technological
advancements, which can drive economic growth. Governments and businesses can invest in innovation
hubs, research institutions, and provide incentives for private sector R&D.
4. Investment in Key Industries: Identifying and supporting strategic industries can stimulate economic
growth. Governments can provide incentives, subsidies, and favorable policies to attract investments in
sectors such as manufacturing, technology, renewable energy, and healthcare.
5. Enhancing Business Environment: Creating a favorable business environment with transparent

regulations, efficient governance, and reduced bureaucratic hurdles can attract both domestic and foreign
investments. This can lead to increased economic activity, job creation, and overall growth.
6. Promoting Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development: Encouraging entrepreneurship and

supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can foster innovation, job creation, and economic
diversification. Governments can provide financial support, training programs, and access to markets for
SMEs.
7. Sustainable Development: Incorporating sustainable practices into economic activities ensures long-term
growth. This includes promoting renewable energy, adopting eco-friendly technologies, and implementing
policies that protect the environment and natural resources.
By focusing on these aspects, countries can build better more economies that are resilient, inclusive, and
environmentally sustainable. This approach not only drives economic growth but also improves the well-being of
people and ensures a brighter future for generations to come.
2. What can you say about the learning recovery as the forefront of Education Agenda of
the President?
Learning recovery as the forefront of the Education Agenda of the President signifies the recognition of
the significant impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on education systems worldwide. It
emphasizes the need to address the learning gaps and challenges that students have faced due to
school closures and disruptions. Learning recovery involves implementing measures to ensure that
students catch up on missed learning opportunities and regain their academic progress. This can
include targeted interventions, remedial programs, additional support for disadvantaged students, and
the utilization of technology for remote learning. By prioritizing learning recovery, the President aims to
mitigate the long-term negative effects of the pandemic on education and promote equitable access to
quality education for all students.
3. What do you understand about "Filipinovation” ?
Filipinovation is a term coined to describe the efforts and initiatives in the Philippines to
promote innovation and entrepreneurship among Filipinos. It is a concept that aims to
harness the creative and innovative potential of the Filipino people to drive economic growth
and development. The term was popularized during President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's term
and is now a key component of the Philippine government's roadmap for inclusive innovation
and entrepreneurship. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of
Science and Technology (DOST) have signed an MOU to formulate and implement the
Inclusive Filipinovation & Entrepreneurship Roadmap, which integrates various programs and
initiatives to support entrepreneurs and bridge the gap between micro, small, and medium
enterprises (MSMEs) and their contribution to the economy.
1. Justify the reasons behind why VP Sarah Duterte is proposing a budget of 150M for DepEd. Do you
think the action of VP Sarah considered to be just and Constitutional?
Ans. According to the information gathered, Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte is
proposing a budget of P150 million for the Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines. Her
justification for requesting confidential funds is based on the belief that education is connected to
national security and that molding patriotic children is important. The funds would be used for
surveillance and intelligence activities to address problems such as illegal drugs and recruitment by
insurgency groups [3].
As for whether this action is considered just and constitutional, it is a matter of perspective. Critics,
including teachers' groups and lawmakers, argue that the money should be spent on building
classrooms and addressing other issues in the education sector. They believe that DepEd should
prioritize funding for facilities, learning materials, and teacher incentives. Some lawmakers also
question the need for surveillance activities in schools and suggest reallocating the funds to early child
care development programs. An ecumenical youth group opposes the request, expressing concerns
about the government's push for the mandatory Reserve Officers' Training Corps program. They argue
that the funds should be used to address deficiencies in in-person classes instead of supporting
counterinsurgency programs [3]. Ultimately, the constitutionality of the action would need to be
determined by legal experts and the relevant authorities.
2. What is your opinion about the difference of position between the President and the Vice President
concerning the confidential funds?
Ans. As a student I can say that the difference of position between the President and the Vice President
concerning confidential funds is a matter of perspective and priorities. The President may argue that
these funds are necessary for national security and intelligence gathering to address various threats,
such as illegal drugs and insurgency. On the other hand, the Vice President may argue that these
funds could be better allocated to address pressing issues in sectors like education, healthcare, or
infrastructure. Ultimately, the difference in opinion reflects the differing priorities and approaches of
the two leaders.
