The presumptive president of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte said that he will not be allowing additional construction of factories in Metro Manila.
He made a point that the area of Metro Manila is already filled with many factories. “Manila is already saturated. I will not allow factories anymore in Manila,” this is the statement that Duterte said in a press conference.
“Not only because it is a dead city but because I have to build a new environment for the people,” Duterte added.
The tough-talking president made a point that he wanted to distribute the power and wealth of Manila to other regions of the Philippines.
“I have to relocate them, pero bago marelocate, I have to establish an economic activity. Mag-economic zone na lang ako, tapos ilagay ko sila doon,” said Duterte.
