Hindi natatapos ang hirap at pagpapakasakit ng mga mamamayan dahil sa tumitinding krisis pang-ekonomiya at epekto nito lalo na sa kababaihan.
Sa maraming mga maralitang komunidad, isa sa pangunahing pinagkukunan ng kita ng kababaihan ang pagtitinda. Ang mga pampublikong palengke naman ang nagsisilbing sentro ng kultura at pamilihan ng malawak na hanay ng mamamayan dahil sa mas abot-kayang presyo ng mga bilihin kumpara sa naglalakihang malls at tindahan.
Isa sa matinding kalbaryong kanilang kinahaharap ang pagsasapribado ng mga pampublikong pamilihan. Kasapakat ang mga dambuhalang korporasyon tulad ng SM Prime Holdings Inc. (SMPHI), maraming proyektong pribatisasyon ang pinangungunahan ng mga lokal na pamahalaan sa tabing ng modernisasyon, kapalit ang pagkitil sa kabuhayan ng mga manininda.

The challenge for women has grown in recent years. The skyrocketing prices of food and other basic products and services contribute to the loss of income and livelihood. Women will be particularly affected if the global capitalist crisis worsens. Hunger, poverty, and violence are all prevalent. No amount of spreading deception and fake news can conceal the people’s crisis and the relentless violation of their rights.
Despite the dire crisis confronting women, Marcos Jr. is busy with senseless and lavish banquets, overseas visits, soliciting foreign investors, looking after cronies, and spreading disinformation and fake news. Despite the country’s record-breaking debt of P14 trillion, Marcos Jr.’s priorities include huge infrastructure projects, strengthening the military, and continued economic liberalization.
In his 8-Point Socioeconomic Agenda, and even in the Philippine Development Plan, there is no concrete plan for the uplifting of the lives of women and the people.
