The Filipino people is set to witness on Thursday, August 18, a documentary showcasing the achievements of the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte since he assumed office on June 30.

Before Thursday comes, Malacañang gave a glimpse of what it considers as achievements of Duterte in his first 50 days in office.
Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said Duterte’s top achievements would be the mass surrender of drug users and pushers and the decline in crime rate last month as a result of the government’s intensified campaign against criminality and illegal drugs.
Andanar also mentioned the suspension of mining firms that allegedly did not comply with environmental safety standards, the historic release of the first executive order on freedom of information, launching of the one-stop service center for overseas Filipino workers, reopening of the Malacañang of the South in Davao City and fight against contractualization.

During the send-off ceremony of Philippine delegation to Rio de Janeiro, the president gave an increase in the allowances of Filipinos competing in the Olympic Games.
Also included is the unusual appointment of leftist individuals to Cabinet positions, launching of hotlines for emergencies and citizens’ complaints, planned administrative order on task force that will address media killings.
Many officials were put to name-and-shame campaign against suspected drug lords and their protectors.
Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella also said, “Tomorrow will be the launch of PCO project called ’50 First Days.’ It will be launched in Davao.
In a statement, Andanar said this will be the first time that an incumbent President will showcase his achievements two months into his six-year term, through a documentary that will air on state-run PTV network on Thursday noon.
“The Duterte administration challenges the status quo of the usual 100-day milestone. We are confident that even at an early stage, we have effected change in our government while calling everyone to be our partner for change,” Andanar said.
