**Interview with Dr. Maria Santos: Economic Analyst and Policy Expert**
*Interviewer: Good morning, Dr. Santos! Thank you for joining us today to discuss these recent developments in job creation and taxation in the Philippines. To start, what are your thoughts on the newly proposed “Create More” law? Do you think it can genuinely deliver more job opportunities for Filipinos?*
**Dr. Santos:** Good morning, and thank you for having me! The “Create More” law certainly sounds promising and aims to address our significant employment gaps. However, the key will be in its implementation. It’s crucial that the government invests not only in creating jobs but also in ensuring those jobs are sustainable and aligned with the evolving skills of our workforce. Right now, there’s skepticism surrounding the effectiveness of such a law, given past experiences.
*Interviewer: Yes, skepticism seems to be a running theme, especially when it comes to taxation. The Department of Finance is eying new taxes. What’s your take on public sentiment towards these potential changes?*
**Dr. Santos:** Absolutely, the mention of new taxes can feel like a heavy burden for many Filipinos. Historically, tax reforms are viewed with caution, often perceived as simply increasing the financial strain on the average citizen. However, if these new taxes could genuinely lead to better public services and job creation, there might be a shift in sentiment. The challenge lies in transparency and communication from the government regarding how these funds will be utilized.
*Interviewer: We’ve heard that the proposed tax reform law could attract foreign investments. Do you think this could actually materialize, or is it too optimistic?*
**Dr. Santos:** It’s a nuanced question. While a favorable tax environment can attract foreign investments, it’s not the only factor at play. Investors look for stability, infrastructure, skilled labor, and a vibrant market. While I appreciate the optimism surrounding this tax reform, we need to ensure that we address these other critical areas as well. Otherwise, we may end up just appealing to a niche market rather than creating a robust investment landscape.
*Interviewer: And lastly, the “Create More” incentives have generated some positive buzz. Do you believe these incentives can effectively stimulate the economy?*
**Dr. Santos:** Incentives can indeed be a great tool for economic stimulation, much like that chocolate fountain you mentioned! They can encourage innovation and attract both local and foreign businesses. However, the effectiveness of such incentives largely depends on how they are structured. They need to be designed in a way that truly supports growth and is not just a temporary sugar rush. Ongoing evaluation will be essential to ensure these incentives deliver long-term benefits rather than become just another short-lived trend.
*Interviewer: Thank you, Dr. Santos, for sharing your insights! It seems like we have a lot to look forward to and even more to keep an eye on as these developments unfold.*
**Dr. Santos:** Thank you for having me! It’s indeed an exciting yet uncertain time for our economy. Let’s hope for the best!
