Saying the days of corruption that flourished under Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo were over, President Aquino on Friday gave his word to
international lenders that he would put to good use the money they would
lend to the Philippines—and they could check this out later.
“You will continue to see results. You will continue to see a
Philippines that is finally living up to its potential,” Mr. Aquino said
in his speech that capped the annual meeting of the Asian Development
Bank (ADB) board of governors.
“We are prepared to follow through on our commitments, and you are by
all means welcome to see if we’re living up to our word,” he declared.
“Investors and Filipinos alike see what is happening: Here is a
country determined to turn the corner by instituting genuine,
wide-ranging, meaningful reform, and acting on its belief that good
governance is the bedrock of equitable progress,” the President said.
“We have had six positive ratings actions since we took over
government a little less than two years ago—a stark contrast to the
single upgrade and six downgrades in the nine years of the previous
administration,” he added.
