PCOO undertakes Duterte Legacy campaign

DAVAO CITY, Sept. 20 (PIA)- The Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) will be undertaking a comprehensive communication campaign highlighting the gains of the Duterte administration for 2016 to 2021 (even reaching to 2022) dubbed as the Duterte Legacy.

“Kaning (this) Duterte Legacy campaign it is a report to the people sa mga nabuhat ni (made by) President Rodrigo Duterte sa atong nasod (to our nation) for the last 5 years and eventually the entire 6 years. It is about reporting the deliveries of the Duterte administration versus the promises he made in 2016,” PCOO chief Sec. Martin Andanar said during his radio guesting at Radio Singko Davao 101.9 FM News

Sec. Andanar cited legacies in peace and order which included the signing of the Bangsamoro Organic Law which led to the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao which ended decades of conflict with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Also in peace and order the Duterte Presidency established the National Task Force- Ending Local Communist Armed Conflic which led to the surrender of 18,000 rebels and sympathizers. Also achievements were 22,000 barangays that were drug cleared and 64% reduction in crime volume.

In Anti-corruption the President implemented the Freedom of information Act (FOI) which made the national government more transparent, he created the Presidential Anti-Graft Commission and the Anti-Red Tape Act or ARTA was strengthened.

Poverty incident 24% to 13% in the last 5 years especially in the pre pandemic times,” Sec. Andanar said of the poverty-reduction achievements as among part of the Duterte Legacy.

Also cited was Build, Build, Build which created 6.5 million jobs, the Universal Healthcare Law, fee education in State Universities and Colleges which benefited 1.6 million young Filipinos, Malasakit Centers which provided free medication and medicines to indigents.

According to Sec. Andanar the Duterte Legacy will not be piece meal and time bound as regular communication campaign rather it would be a whole-of-nation approach involving government agencies which contributed or helped in the legacy.

“This will be until the last day of the Presidency,” Sec. Andanar said of the duration of the campaign. (PIA/RG Alama)
