MB Daily News Update: PH trade deficit narrows in Oct.


In his visit to Belgium to attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)-European Union (EU) Commemorative Summit, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. took time out from his busy schedule to meet with Filipinos in Brussels, lauding their “heroism” as he pledged anew that time will come when they need not work overseas just to find greener pastures.

Vice President Sara Duterte lauded the San Juan City government for its efforts in providing free internet access in its public schools as she underscored the need to make this widespread in the country.

The House of Representatives was able to pass 13 of the President’s priority bills just before Congress adjourns for its Christmas break.

Imports continued to outpace exports in the country, although at a narrower level, as the country’s trade gap in October dropped by 13 percent to $3.3 billion from $3.82 billion in the same month last year.

Details of these stories are just a click away in today’s Manila Bulletin Daily News Update.
