Since taking office in 2022, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has led the Philippines through post-pandemic recovery and global challenges with decisive, people-centered leadership — advancing the vision of Bagong Pilipinas.
Steady economic growth, the product of prudent policy management and sustained public investment, has expanded social protection and supported inclusive growth.
The Philippines’ gross national income per capita income has now reached $4,850, crossing the World Bank threshold for upper-middle-income status.
It took nearly 40 years to achieve this milestone — joining 59 countries, including four ASEAN neighbors.
More Investments. More Jobs. Less Poverty.
This is more than a number or ranking. It signals to the world that the Philippines is stable, credible, and poised for rapid growth.
It attracts greater investment, creates more jobs, and generates additional resources for infrastructure and essential services.
This next stage of development presents great opportunities. Shorter, more comfortable commutes. Better jobs and livelihood across regions. More children completing school and college. Better healthcare and social services for all.
For every Filipino, it means being part of the nation’s progress.
We are building a new Philippines defined by hope, stability, efficiency, and shared prosperity.
Together, let us continue forging a more prosperous, inclusive, and resilient future for generations to come. (Presidential Communications Office)
