He also said that doing business will be improved as global standards will be practiced. With that, he appealed to the business sector to help the upcoming administration with the new and right standards in using government’s achievements that would be beneficial to the “poor and low-income families” in the Philippines.

From Duterte’s campaign before the elections, he has been declaring that his administration will end crime and corruption after three to six months after sitting. According to him, this would cause the progress of the country.

With that, will the Philippines really transform into a really progressive country during and after the Duterte administration?

The said video is a collection of a futuristic Philippines showing massive world-class infrastructures like the Ortigas Interchange, Makati City, Quiapo Bridge, and more. There is also a futuristic NLEX together with a bullet train. Also a circling road in Baguio City.

The video ended with the famous Filipino phrase, “Mabuhay ang Pilipinas”.

Now, can the Duterte administration make these long-time dreams a reality?
