Malacanang welcomed a report by Standard & Poors (S&P) saying the Philippines has become the leadingeconomy in Southeast Asia, surpassing its neighbors.

If you compared the economy to a pie, we are very pleased that international media, and also ourselves, recognizethat the pie has grown, Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said in a press briefing with Palace reporters on

Wednesday.

Mahalaga na lumalaki ang ekonomiya, lumalaki yung pie, he added.

The administration is happy that the countrys economy has grown under the Aquino government, he said, addinghowever that the most important thing is to ensure that more Filipinos, especially the poor, get a share of the robusteconomy.

Thats why the President emphasized in his SONA the various ways of achieving growth and making sure that all ofour population or all of our citizens will hopefully profit from that growth, Lacierda said.

S&P, which recently upgraded the Philippines to investment grade, said in a new report released Monday that the

country has taken over the Asean growth leadership role from Indonesia.

The Philippine economy would grow by 6.9 percent this year, faster than other Asean economies, it said.

S&P sees Indonesias gross domestic product (GDP) to grow 6.1 percent; Vietnam, 5.3 percent; and Malaysia, 5.3percent. The Philippine growth forecast is higher than that for China at 7.3 percent.

The gross domestic product or GDP is the amount of final goods and services produced in a country. PND (as)

President S. Aquino III's Speech during the Opening Ceremonies of Livestock Philippines 2013 Expo andConference

SMX Convention Centre, MOA, Pasay City07 August 2013

Excellencies and members of the Diplomatic Corps; Secretary Procy Alcala, Secretary Sonny Coloma, AssistantSecretary Davinio Catbagan; Speaker Jose de Venecia; partners and experts from livestock industry trade exhibitors;fellow workers in government, honored guests, mga minamahal kong kababayan.

Magandang umaga po.

Among the Philippines earliest achievements in science and technology were a number of measures for the health oflivestock and poultry. In 1906, for example, the work to eliminate rinderpest began. This livestock disease becamerampant following the importation of livestock into the Philippines after the revolution and the war. Then, Filipinos andAmericans worked together to develop, test, and eventually implement the use of a serum that would immunizeanimals. At around the same time, our then-Bureau of Science also found itself devoting much of its work tomonitoring public health and the existing food supply.

Undoubtedly, the hard work of generations of scientists and stakeholders in the agricultural industry, whether here oracross the globe, has redounded to great benefits for all. Rinderpest has been eradicated, and countries have put inplace controls to prevent the proliferation of other animal diseases still in existence. The Philippines itself has beenfree from Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) since 2010, and from Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) since2005.

If we are to draw any lesson from the anecdotes I mentioned earlier, it would be that: then, as today, food security isnot just about ensuring the stability of supply; it is just as much about public health and safety. Perhaps the burden iseven greater today. After all, while modernization allows stakeholders to become even more efficient, this also entailshigher standards in maintaining the health of animals, the safety of end products and consumers, and the welfarealso of the environment. This is precisely what we are doing in the Philippines improving each step in the process,from beginning to end.

For instance, towards maintaining the health of poultry and livestock, our Department of Agriculture (DA), through theBureau of Animal Industry, provides strategic vaccination and disease surveillance, amongst other services, toeradicate and control 13 infectious animal diseases.

As evident in this Expos theme, animal feeds are part and parcel of animal healthand consequently, of foodsecurity. One of our most basic concerns is maintaining the availability and the sufficiency of feed. Right now, thereseems to be an imbalance: as to the 447 feed millers in the country, 332 are in Luzon, 49 in Visayas, and only 66 inMindanao, which, by the way, produced half the countrys corn in 2012.

Of course, SMEs and businesses have the options of importing feed, which is why we have Expos like this one. But,what about the smaller players in the industry? This is why, to develop the market for animal feeds in the country andto ensure the availability and constancy of supply, the Department of Agriculture is drafting the Livestock, Poultry,and Feed Crops Industry Roadmap, which will be completed, Im told, by the end of the month. Through this

roadmap, initiatives such as feed farming-milling and livestock and poultry integration partnerships will benefit morethan 850,000 small corn farmers and backyard livestock and poultry raisers in the first three years of implementationalone. Other measures such as the Anti-Microbial Resistance Program (AMRP), which will monitor the use ofantibiotics in feed and veterinary products beginning in 2014, will also help to ensure the safety of animal feeds.

The work does not end there: our government is also constructing the necessary infrastructure to facilitate the growthof agriculture in the country. Farm to market roads, or FMRs, constructed and rehabilitated from 2011 to June 2013have linked 1,147 barangays to main road networks and markets, benefiting 300,000 of our farmers. And for thefuture, our Department of Public Works and Highways will be partnering with the Department of Agriculture toconstruct even more farm-to-market-roads to benefit even more barangays. Even better news: these roads will beconstructed with the same efficiency that the DPWH has displayed in its other projectsproducing better qualityroads at a lower cost, mostly ahead of time. This, on top of the ports, airports, and other transport hubs we areconstructing and upgrading to improve transport and travel across the archipelago.

Right now, we also have a total of 131 operational accredited Livestock Oksyon Markets (LOMs) across thecountry. These serve as centralized trading facilities for animals, particularly, cattle and carabaos. These LOMsensure the health of livestock, by requiring Veterinary Health Certificates for all livestock entering the facilityall ofwhich still undergo inspections by on-site veterinarians, as an added measure.

Behind these initiativesand behind our governments decision to prioritize the agricultural sectorlies a singlequestion: What will yield the greatest benefit for the common Filipino? This has guided all our efforts. The roads andtrading centers constructed under our watch bring farmers closer to the markets, and facilitate the movement ofgoods. Disease control and health mechanisms are in place to ensure that the pork or chicken products that find theirway to the dinner tables of our countrymen are safe for consumption. Plans to develop the feeds industry and makethe most of materials grown in the Philippines redound to a more stable livelihood for corn farmers and access tocheaper feeds for backyard livestock and poultry raisers. And events like this bring local and foreign stakeholders

togetherhopefully, to forge partnerships that will spur the growth of the Philippine livestock and poultry industry.


22/30

This event shows that government is not alone in its effort. The sheer number of attendees alone assures me that theExpo and Conference is indeed a breeding ground for even greater opportunities for the industry. So I encourage youto make the most of this event: explore the offerings of the different exhibitors, ask questions, build your networks,and participate in the discussions that will take place in the next few days. I am certain that we can all find ways tohelp each other, and to profit at the same time. After all, in the same way that cooperation between Filipinos andAmericans allowed our country to surpass an epidemic of rinderpest in the early 20th century, so too will the sharingof knowledge and best practices in this event allow us to surpass the challenges that remain, and to advance theindustry.

Thank you, and good day.

Preliminary data showed that the countrys gross international reserves (GIR) rose to US$82.9 billion as of end-

July 2013, higher by US$1.7 billion than the end-June 2013 GIR of US$81.3 billion, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas

(BSP) Governor Amando M. Tetangco, Jr. announced today.1 At this level, reserves can adequately cover 12

months worth of imports of goods and payments of services and income. The GIR is also equivalent to 8.5 timesthe countrys short-term external debt based on original maturity and 5.8 times based on residual maturity.2

The increase in reserves was due mainly to inflows from the foreign exchange operations of the BSP, revaluation

gains on the BSPs gold holdings and foreign currency-denominated reserves, net foreign currency deposits by
