Lay down governance platform. This was the Malacañang challenge to the presidentiables in the 2010 election.
Deputy Spokesperson Lorelie Fajardo said the administration is eager to showcase the achievements of Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr., the standard bearer of the ruling administration coalition party Lakas-Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-Kampi-CMD).
Fajardo stressed the economic accomplishments of the Arroyo administration and the favorable reviews of international financial institutions cannot be invented because they are based on hard data and statistics.
Despite the criticisms of the opposition, the Philippine economy under President Arroyo has grown for 34 consecutive quarters and is one of the few in Asia which has avoided recession. (PIA-MMIO)
