Iniutos na ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang pag-adopt ng isang 10-point agenda na layong isustina at pabilisin ang economic recovery ng bansa mula sa pandemya ng COVID-19 sa pamamagitan ng isang tinatawag na whole-of-government approach.

Sa ilalim ng Executive Order No. 166, na pinirmahan noong Marso 21, ang Ten-Point Agenda on Economic Recovery ay ang mga sumusunod:

• Strengthen healthcare capacity

• Accelerate and expand the vaccination program

• The further reopening of the economy and expand public transport capacity

• Resume face-to-face learning

• Reduce restrictions on domestic travel and standardize LGU requirements

• Relax requirements for international travel

• Accelerate digital transformation through legislative measures

• Provide for enhanced and flexible emergency measures through legislation

• Shift the focus of decision-making and government reporting to more useful empowering metrics

• Medium-term preparation for pandemic resilience

“The State hereby adopts the Ten-Point Policy Agenda to sustain and accelerate economic recovery, and to drive broad-based expansions across various productive sectors, in the midst of challenges brought about by the continued persistence of COVID-19,” ayon sa nakasaad sa EO.

Ang Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) at ang National Task Force Against COVID-19 ang inatasan ni Pangulong Duterte para tiyakin ang wastong pagpapatupad ng 10-point agenda na may konsultasyon mula sa economic cluster ng gobyerno.

Ang National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) naman ang magmo-monitor ng mga pagsunod ng concerned agencies habang ire-report ito periodically sa pangulo.

Batay sa datos ng NEDA, nakapaloob sa EO, “the height of the pandemic in 2020, 10.1% of businesses temporarily closed while 0.4% permanently ceased operations, causing unemployment to swell to around 8.7 million.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic has impeded the country's three decades of uninterrupted growthy, contracting its gross domestic product by as much as -9.6% in 2020,” batay pa sa EO.

Ayon sa Department of Health (DOH) nitong Martes, lahat ng rehiyon sa bansa ay nasa “minimal risk” base sa COVID-19 case classification habang ang bilang ng tinamaan ng impeksyon ay patuloy na bumababa. Ang ibig sabihin ng minimal risk ay ang lowest risk case classification sa COVID-19.
