Quezon City, Aug 7 (EFE/EPA).- The Philippine economy entered recession after plummeting by 16.5 percent in the second quarter of the year, its biggest decline since democracy was restored in the country in 1986, dragged down by the strict and long lockdown imposed in the country to contain the COVID-19 epidemic.The sharp decline in the gross domestic product (GDP) between April and June can be attributed to the strict lockdown that President Rodrigo Duterte's government imposed on the island of Luzon, the largest and most populous in the Philippines, which slowed economic activity in the country.
