In 2016 when Rodrigo Duterte became the President of the Philippines the economy was experiencing a record spell of high growth. His election is widely considered as a populist revolt especially of the middleand upper-class Filipinos whose daily lives have not improved under the previous government. From his initial 10-point economic agenda to the laws he approved since then, his core policies are liberal economics in orientation. This paper both distinguishes and relates Duterte’s authoritarian-populist political style (“Dutertismo”) and his economic agenda (“Dutertenomics”). The distinction follows from his lack of interest in economic affairs, which he delegated to his economic managers. That this team ably pushes liberal economic reforms, albeit slowly and not always successful, is largely due the president’s style, which continues to earn him wide public approval. Growth has slowed down during the first half of his term, however. To shore up the growth momentum, he needs to accomplish the rest of his economic agenda. Duterte may yet persuade Congress to support him in the last three years of his term.

Dutertenomics：民粹主义、进步和前景

2016 年，当罗德里戈·杜特尔特 (Rodrigo Duterte) 成为菲律宾总统时，菲律宾经济正经历着创纪录的高速增长。他的选举被广泛被认为是一个人民主义的反抗，尤其是米德莱基上课的菲律宾人，其日常生活在前政府下没有得到改善。从他最初的 10 点经济议程到此后他批准的法律，他的核心政策是自由经济学的方向。本文区分并关联了杜特尔特的威权民粹主义政治风格（“Dutertismo”）和他的经济议程（“Dutertenomics”）。区别在于他对经济事务缺乏兴趣，他将这种兴趣委托给了他的经济经理。这支团队能够有力地推动自由经济改革，尽管进展缓慢且并不总是成功，这主要归功于总统的风格，这继续为他赢得广泛的公众认可。然而，在他任期的前半段，增长已经放缓。为了支撑增长势头，他需要完成其余的经济议程。杜特尔特可能仍会说服国会在他任期的最后三年支持他。
