#BrighterPhilippines Fight against corruption: They gave us all a taste of a functioning justice system. As a result, confidence in our judicial institutions is now being restored. Peace in Mindanao: The signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) was arguably the nation’s greatest achievement in 2014. On Education: There was a 66,000-classroom shortage as of 2010, and this was further exacerbated by the three extra years required by the K-12 program. The good news is that in 2014, the DepEd rolled out 66,800 classrooms, virtually wiping out the classroom gap of 2010. Disaster Preparedness: Super typhoons are the new normal and Typhoon Yolanda taught us how to prepare for it. As a result, Hagupit only claimed 18 lives while Seniang and Glenda claimed 35 and 20 lives, respectively. This is a pittance to the 6,193 lives lost during Typhoon Yolanda. The Economy: Granted, the economy fell short of the 6.5 percent minimum growth target last year, but it still made progress in the areas that really matter.
