Duterte urges stimulus without details

President Rodrigo Duterte urged lawmakers on Monday to pass stimulus measures to revive the economy amid a coronavirus-induced recession.

Despite this call, analysts, business leaders, and opposition lawmakers criticized Duterte for not providing specific details about his recovery plan.

During his State of the Nation Address, Duterte focused primarily on praising the government's pandemic response rather than outlining concrete economic strategies.

Lawmakers like Marikina Rep. Stella Quimbo emphasized the need for a clear stimulus package to effectively monitor and implement economic revival measures.
