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.
