Aquino urged anew to spend on infra

After several noted economists warned that lack of infrastructures could nail the Philippines at the backburner in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), another economist commissioned by the Philippine Exporters Confederation (Philexport) urged the government to spend more on building more infrastructures to expedite people and goods’ movement. Gilberto Llanto, senior research fellow of the Philippine Institute for Development for Development Studies (PIDS), raised this in a recent forum as the Philippines gears up to join the Asean Economic Community (AEC) in 2015.
