No one gets left behind in war vs poverty – Villar
s As soldiers often say in the heat of battle, Nacionalista Party (NP) standard-bearer Manny Villar vowed to “leave no one behind” in his bid to stamp out poverty in the country.
“The next president must make sure that economic growth redounds to the benefit of the poor. I believe that any growth must be inclusive, that no one is left behind when the economy improves,” Villar said.
The NP standard-bearer said the findings of three international development agencies – the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), and the UN Development Program (UNDP) – on the poverty problem in the Philippines should be a wake-up call for the national leadership.
