Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman disputed on Tuesday, July 27 President Rodrigo Duterte’s assertion that the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic cut short economic advancement of the country that was felt before the contagion.Lagman, an independent, said Duterte, in his final State of the Nation Address delivered on Monday, ignored facts indicating that the economy “has been steadily falling” even before the pandemic started.

“GDP plummeted to negative 9.5% in 2020, which was the lowest ever including the Marcos years,” he explained. According to the veteran lawmaker Duterte “had a ‘medical populist’ approach to the pandemic’ that was similar to those of former President Donald Trump of the USA, President Jair Bosonaro of Brazil and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India.

The Bicolano solon also pointed out that Duterte that the following negative indicators derail the economy: decelerating Gross Domestic Product ; runaway unemployment; increasing poverty and hunger; galloping inflation; and ballooning national debt, to which he failed to offer explanations and solutions.

Si Edcel Lagman ay kapatid ni Popoy Lagman, dating NPA hitman na napatay ng mga pulis noong dekadang 80. Supporter si Lagman ng CPP NDF NPA, na isang teroristang grupo na ang tanging layunin ay pabagsakin ang gobyerno. NO TO COMMUNISM NO TO TERRORISM

lagman is Funny, maipilit lang ang narrative nya. The pandemic caused businesses to close and people to lose jobs, tapos it did not cut short the economic advancement?

Palaging tulog si Lagman kaya di nakikita ang nangyayari. Sarado ang dalawang tenga palagi kahit sa huling SONA ni Du30.

Siguro busy sa paglalangoy sa WPS si lagman kaya di updated..😆
