Trade and Industry Secretary Ramon M. Lopez expressed confidence the domestic economy can recover in the third quarter this year as long as the government will not pull back the reopening of economic sectors into “quarantine in general,” but instead implement granular lockdowns in areas with high cases and strict implementation of health and safety protocols.
