#RealNumbersPH—NOT OPINIONS Let’s #ExplainExplainExplain one aspect of the #DuterteLegacy: In the first 32 months of President Duterte’s term, the national debt only went up by ₱1.5 trillion. (That’s from ₱5.95 trillion in June 2016 to ₱7.45 trillion by February 2019, straight from the Bureau of the Treasury.) DUTERTE ADMIN (June 2016 – February 2019): • Debt increased by ₱1.5 trillion over 32 months. • Average monthly increase: Approximately ₱46.9 billion. • Major expenditures included infrastructure projects and social reforms. MARCOS JR ADMIN (June 2022 – February 2025): • Debt increased by ₱3.26 trillion over 32 months. • Average monthly increase: Approximately ₱101.9 billion. • Significant borrowings were made to support economic recovery (AYUDA) and infrastructure development. But here’s the thing about Duterte’s time—it wasn’t just about borrowing money. Stuff actually got done. Projects you can still see and use today: • LRT-2 East Extension – The viaduct was done, and station construction had already started • Skyway Stage 3 – Fast-tracked to connect North and South Luzon • NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10 – Finished and opened in 2019 • North–South Commuter Railway Phase 1 – Broke ground in early 2019 • Big social reforms – Free tuition in public colleges, Universal Health Care, Ease of Doing Business And all of that? Happened in just the first half of Duterte’s presidency. Now, back to numbers. Over the full six years, Duterte’s administration handled a total of ₱7.7 trillion in debt servicing: • ₱4.5 trillion went to paying off the actual loans (principal) • ₱3.2 trillion went to interest In case you’re wondering, debt servicing just means paying off what we owe—both the borrowed money and the interest that comes with it. But here’s what really matters: All that was done while facing some of the toughest moments in our history: • A global pandemic • The Marawi siege • Over 10 major typhoons—like Rolly, Ulysses, Odette • Mass vaccination drives, emergency cash aid, isolation centers • Salaries for frontliners, support for local governments And despite all that chaos, infrastructure still moved forward. Roads. Bridges. Railways. Flood control. Farm-to-market roads. BUILD BUILD BUILD! You still walk on those sidewalks, drive on those roads, and ride on those trains today. You’ve seen them. You’ve used them. They’re real. So when someone says, “All Duterte did was leave us with debt,” ask them these: Where were you during the pandemic? Did you float when your street flooded? Were you chilling while hospitals overflowed and cities shut down? Because if you can’t acknowledge the storms we went through and the work that still got done, you’re not sharing an opinion. You’re not correcting the story—you’re rewriting it. And that’s not truth. That’s just bias wearing a different shirt. facebook.com/share/p/168NwaJ…
