PH now pushing hard to reopen and rebuild economy

The Philippines is now pushing hard to reopen the economy. The memorandum circular issued on Friday, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) announced that the government will now allow 17 business sectors to resume full operations as part of the effort. 

In his Memorandum Circular No. 20-52, Trade secretary Ramon Lopez said there was an increasing need “to provide stability for businesses, restimulate the economy amid the COVID-19 pandemic and address the growing number of joblessness, poverty and hunger incidence in the country.”
