University of the Philippines College of Economics professor Benjamin Diokno lamented the growth rate of the country pales in comparison with Philippines' Asean neighbors. Diokno said government economic managers should not rest on their laurels and instead strive more to reach the full growth potential of the economy. The UP professor said there are two main thorns beyond reaching the Philippine full growth potential- lack of infrastructure and jobs.
