In a forum sponsored by the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP), Singson said debt repudiation or moratorium is "not feasible at this time." In 1983, the Philippines declared a debt moratorium and Singson was then governor of the Central Bank of the Philippines.

According to Singson his agreement with the President does not entitle him to hold office in Malacañang or in any other government agency. 


Singson said he would only offer his advice, whenever he is called by the President for specific consultations. He assured he would never give "unsolicited" advice.
