MLA STANDARD: TONY LOPEZ - REDUCING POVERTY AND UNEMPLOYMENT

This early, there is one massive failure the BS Aquino administration will be known for - the failure to halve poverty from its level of 30 percent in 1990 to 15 percent by 2015, a period of 25 years. The deadline for halving poverty as a Millennium Development Goal (MDG), per international covenant, is next year. Today, poverty incidence as a percentage of the population is still at 25.2 percent - the same level when Aquino took office in July 2010. This year, poverty incidence is variously placed at between 25.2 percent and 28 percent.
