5. The "Build, Build, Build" program under President Duterte primarily focused on which economic strategy?
A. Digital economy
B. Infrastructure-led growth
C. Labor outsourcing
D. Protectionism
Answer (1)
The answer is letter B. Infrastructure-led growthInfrastructure-led growth means boosting the economy by building public structures like roads, airports, bridges, and schools. Duterte’s Build, Build, Build program aimed to improve transportation, reduce traffic, and create jobs.By making it easier for goods and people to move around, businesses can grow faster. However, these projects also cost a lot and often depend on loans. So while the short-term effect is job creation, the long-term success depends on whether the infrastructure actually helps businesses and the public.
