Philippine president-elect Rodrigo Duterte will pursue annual economic growth of 7-8 percent, or even higher, in a drive to cut poverty, his spokesperson said on Wednesday.

Under President Benigno Aquino, average annual economic growth has topped 6 percent and this year's target is 6.8-7.8 percent.
