In a press conference held in Davao City on Thursday, May 26, 216, incoming president Rodrigo Duterte said he would not allow the construction of more factories in Metro Manila.
I tend to spend most of the money for this year to alleviate hunger and poverty. Then I will ask the engineers, maghanap na ako ng lupa, we will build eco zones.The tough-talking incoming president has earlier spoken of his intention to devolve power and distribute wealth from Manila to the other regions in the country.Gusto ko pagdating ng tao, may daan na, may eskwelahan na. Magbuhos ako ng pera sa medisina.
Ang problema ko ngayon, I have to create more jobs but Manila is already saturated… I will not allow factories anymore in Manila, not only because it is a dead city but because I have to build a new environment. Mag eco zone na lang ako.
Every ecozone, dapat pagdating nila doon may ospital na, may economic activity, then I will relocate them. Pagdating nila doon, may trabaho na sila.
