The Philippine government is presidential, agent and democratic republic.. As a democratic nation, it is established on the standards of choosing authorities that would speak to a particular body or gathering of individuals. Aquino and Duterte has different approach to the extent of the well-being of every citizen of the Philippines and all the aspects that may affect every Filipino. The transition from the Aquino to. Duterte’s administrations offers us a chance to look at the two presidents and compare the things they did for the Philippines.

In 2005, the Aquino Administration under the Presidency of Benigno Aquino III, He was the child of Corazon Aquino, who filled in as leader of the Philippines (1986 — 92), and political pioneer Benigno Simeon Aquino, Jr. — themselves the offspring of politically associated families.

Duterte turned into the most internationally known Filipino pioneer since Ferdinand Marcos, the nation’s notorious despot. On May 10, 2016, Rodrigo Duterte, at that point 71 years of age, was chosen president, winning 39 percent of the vote in a five-manner race. Magnetic, obtuse, and oftentimes profane, Duterte consolidated a Dirty Harry persona with a history as a fruitful chairman of Davao City, Mindanao’s biggest city.

In terms of the Human Development Index, Aquino’s term of Presidency, the increments of good organization are being changed over into the improvement of the idea of the life being what they are, particularly needy individuals and the helpless. The Philippines was in the 115th rank among 188 countries with regards of the living quality of individuals. Among the steps made in making sure about the government assistance of our kindred Filipinos is strengthening admittance to quality medical care. Among others, the consistent overhauling of government wellbeing offices; the efficient sending of wellbeing experts to distant; an extensive program giving free immunization to kids has been set up; various arrangements to improve monetary security in medical services costs have been embraced. On the other hand, with Duterte’s administration, Philippines was rank 106 out of 189 countries and territories in 2018. This put and recognized the country in the high HDI category with the value of 0.712. Somewhere in the range of 1990 and 2018, Philippines’ HDI esteem expanded from 0.590 to 0.712, an expansion of 20.6 percent.

Both administration showed a progress in term of the nation’s gross domestic product, they did a huge in. this, however they also have differences in their approaches. Somewhere in 2012 and 2015, the all-out GDP developed by 14 percent. 2015 and 2018, the expanded by 13 percent. We can compare the purchasing power of both administration by the inflation rate. In Aquino’s term, Filipino customers, not the monetary organizers and financial specialists of President Aquino III, are answerable for the solid development of the economy during the principal full five years of his organization. Such tempered public reaction shows that high development numbers have become the standard under the watch of President Benigno Aquino III. Many state that they have not “felt” the improvement in the economy, to such an extent this got one of the characterizing accounts of the last election. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) declared on January 5 that feature expansion the general cost increment of products and administration somewhat got in December at 1.5 percent, contrasted with November’s 2.7 percent. Nonetheless, the figure is strikingly lower than the 2.7 percent rate enrolled in December 2014.

In Duterte’s term, he signed the TRAIN Law or. Comprehensive Tax Reform Program (CTRP) also known as the Tax Reform for Acceleration. The large bounce in expansion rate was set off by the TRAIN law. Just 2.9% in December 2017, went up to 3.4% in January 2018 (first month of TRAIN law), 3.8% in February, 5.7% in July, 6.4% in August, 6.7% in August and same 6.7% in September. The year to date ( January to October) expansion rate at that point is 5.1% or almost twofold 2017's 2.9%. Fortunately this might be the pinnacle swelling for the year.

Businesses play a very significant part in the public economy of any nation. They are the flash that touches off the flares of financial advancement in a nation. They contribute their own capital as well as pull in capital from the market. Aquino’s administration managed to achieve the nation’s GDP, the estimation of merchandise and ventures delivered privately developed by a normal of 5.8 percent. The six years of his administration, GDP development has reached at the midpoint of 7.2 percent yearly in 2013. There are a lot of programs for businesses in the Philippines, one concrete example is the Access of Small Enterprise or ASENSO. It embraces a brought together strategy and terms and conditions in loaning to SMEs. While our current administration are still striving hard to have innovations for the products and services by Filipino entrepreneurs. President Duterte also implements a lot of programs for micro and macro business in the country. He signed Republic Act (RA) No. 11293 otherwise known as the “Philippine Innovation Act” on April 2017, this law enable the country to have a strong and knowledgeable National Innovation Council (NIC) that will steer the entire of-government coordination and cooperation to eliminate the fracture in the nation’s advancement administration.

As a young citizen of this country, choosing the best administration is like choosing the best outfit I can wear for a day. As per mentioned from above informations, we can notice that both administration has a huge impact to our nation. Both of them brought our country so much growth but of course there’s one administration that I think has helped not only or the economy but also to all of the citizen in this country. It is obvious from the facts given above that Duterte’s administration has more growth over the past administration. He also have a another year to achieve his desire and visions for our beloved country. However, we cannot neglect the fact that because of the past administration it also helped the current in gaining more techniques and strategies to be in this huge growth. I also admire the administration of Aquino as it focused more on the well-being of every Filipino, his brilliant mind and innovative hands brought our country so much improvements. Moreover, we are very thankful to have both former President Benigno and our current President Duterte for doing their best for their constituents.
