New Law ‘Create More Act’: Can It Really Bring More Jobs and Growth?
Ah, the infamous “Create More Act.” It almost sounds like a motivational poster you’d find in a high school guidance counselor’s office. “You can achieve anything if you just believe in your potential!” Oh, wait, sorry, that’s my daily pep talk when the coffee hasn’t kicked in yet.
According to various sources, including our trusty friends at Inquirer.net and the Philippine Star, Senators are boasting about this new legislation as the magic wand poised to create thousands of new jobs and stimulate growth like a double shot of espresso on an empty stomach.
What Is the Create More Act, Anyway?
So, what exactly is the “Create More Act”? Great question! It seems to be a brilliant amalgamation of bureaucracy and optimism that promises to involve various sectors in “creating more” — presumably, of everything. Jobs? Yes. Happiness? Maybe. Difficult conversations about taxes and government spending? Oh, definitely!
In an ideal world, this act would work like a charm. You know, like how every time you spray air freshener before guests arrive, you convince yourself there was never a skunk in the first place. But here’s the kicker: words are just words. After all, arguing that a law will automatically translate to jobs is like saying a cake will bake itself if you just keep shouting “bake” at the oven.
Job Creation: Fueling the Optimism
Now, let’s circle back to this job creation nonsense. According to Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri, who seems quite confident in this bill’s potential, “The CREATE MORE Act is designed to turn the Philippines into a premier investment hub.” Ah yes, because nothing screams “investment” quite like a newly minted law with a catchy title. I can see investors prioritizing this over things like actual money and market stability, can’t you?
The goal of the CREATE MORE is to make it easier for businesses to thrive, to attract more foreign investment, and—fingers crossed—create jobs. But here’s the thing: will they actually stick? Or will they float away like a balloon at a badly-organized children’s party? And what about the so-called “growth”? Let’s just hope growth doesn’t mean more variety in traffic jams during rush hour.
The Inevitable: Welcome to Reality
Now, let’s be real for a second. We’ve all seen legislation that sounds phenomenal on paper. You know—like when you set your New Year’s resolutions and are three days in before you’ve touched that gym membership. Lovely intentions do not guarantee tangible results. So, if the government can manage to turn this act into actual jobs rather than just fancy talk, then maybe—just maybe—we can keep the balloon grounded.
Let’s hope that the skeptics aren’t right. The last thing we need is for this act to end up like a bad joke at a comedy club where the punchline never lands. We’ll just have to wait and see if the politicians behind the Create More Act can actually deliver something beyond clever slogans and soundbites!
In conclusion, will we see a bustling economy with this new law, or will it simply get lost in a sea of paperwork like every other well-meaning government initiative? Only time—and a serious look at the numbers—will tell!
Stay tuned, folks. Grab your popcorn, sip your coffee, and let’s watch the political circus unfold. After all, it’s bound to be an unforgettable show!

### Interview with Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri on the Create More Act
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Senator Zubiri. Let’s dive right in: What is the Create More Act and how do you believe it will impact job creation in the Philippines?
**Senator Zubiri:** Thank you for having me! The Create More Act is designed to streamline processes for businesses, attract foreign investment, and ultimately create jobs. We are looking to position the Philippines as a premier investment hub in Southeast Asia. By making it easier for companies to operate here, we aim to stimulate economic growth and provide more opportunities for our citizens.
**Interviewer:** That sounds promising, but many legislative initiatives often sound good in theory. What specific measures are included in the Act to ensure that these new jobs will stick around rather than just add to a temporary uptick in employment numbers?
**Senator Zubiri:** Great question. The Act includes provisions for tax incentives, simplified regulatory processes, and support services for small and medium enterprises. These measures are intended to foster a stable environment for businesses to thrive, which should help create lasting job opportunities.
**Interviewer:** Critics might argue that the effectiveness of this Act ultimately hinges on the government’s ability to implement these measures effectively. What safeguards are in place to monitor its success?
**Senator Zubiri:** Absolutely, accountability is crucial. We will be setting up a monitoring committee that will regularly assess the impact of the Act on job creation and investment levels. Reports will be made public to ensure transparency and allow citizens to see how the legislation is performing.
**Interviewer:** In your opinion, what will be the biggest challenge to the Act fulfilling its potential?
**Senator Zubiri:** The biggest challenge will likely be the mindset change needed in some sectors. Many businesses have been operating under old constraints, and adapting to new regulations will require a shift in perspective. We believe that once they see the benefits, there will be a strong drive to embrace these changes.
**Interviewer:** Before we conclude, can you provide our audience with a bit of hope? If the Act succeeds, what would that mean for the average Filipino?
**Senator Zubiri:** If successful, the Create More Act could result in a more vibrant economy, leading to higher employment rates and better living standards. We’re talking about decent wages for families, greater access to goods and services, and ultimately a more prosperous nation. It’s an ambitious goal, but with collaboration and commitment from all stakeholders, I believe we can achieve it.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Senator Zubiri, for sharing your insights on the Create More Act. We look forward to seeing how it unfolds in the coming months.
**Senator Zubiri:** Thank you! It’s an exciting time for the Philippines, and I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this important legislation.
