WELCOME REMARKS ERNESTO M. PERNIA Secretary of Socioeconomic Planning

I would like to welcome everyone to our second #AskNEDA (read: hashtag AskNEDA) media briefing for 2019. We are only in the first quarter of the year, but as you have seen, we are already welcoming several successes, in terms of policy reforms. One of them, at the top of our legislative agenda, is the Rice Tariffication Act or Republic Act 11203.
