President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo vowed yesterday to address the ballooning unemployment in the country and achieve a zero unemployment rate, especially after her expected victory in the May 10 presidential elections.
The President made the pledge in a radio interview hooked up with Iloilo radio stations in anticipation of the expected increase in unemployment in the country with the entry of new college graduates to the Philippine labor force in March and April.
"Itutuloy natin itong million jobs every year. Kung ako ay mahahalal muli bilang President, and if we were able to create one million jobs every year, we will be able to create six million jobs in six years. So over the six-year period bababa nang bababa ang ating unemployment hanggang mawala," she said.
(Translation: "Let's continue this million jobs trend every year. If you elect me president again, and if we were able to create one million jobs every year, we will be able to create six million jobs in six years. So over the six-year period, the unemployment numbers will go down and down until we eliminate it (unemployment) for good," she said.
And NO, this is not from THE ONION.
I guess may katapat na si Eddie Gil when it comes to ridiculous claims, no?
