Philippines Poverty

The Arroyo administration's official development agenda focuses specifically on issues of poverty and unemployment. The key document here is the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP), 2001-2004, which stresses poverty reduction through equitable growth, rural development, and social sector investment. The four primary strategies are:


1.Macroeconomic stability and equitable growth, using sound fiscal and monetary policies to keep inflation low and avoid surges in unemployment; modernize all sectors through HR development and technology;

2.Comprehensive HR development, basic education, health, shelter, water, electricity; safety nets for most vulnerable sectors; encouraging poor to participate in governance;

3.Modernization of agricultural sector with social equity; agrarian reform, improving rural infrastructure, implementing land reform;

4.Effective governance through transparency, reducing graft and corruption, strengthening partnerships with civil society and the private sector.


Poverty is conceptualized broadly, taking into account not only income but its impact in terms of human deprivation, development, and quality of life.

In fact China enforces birth control, but still has huge over population! Yet they seems more economically stable than phillipines. Please explain...

@Mrdeftoness1 You are an idiot.

A lot of the reason for the poverty is the overpopulation. The reason for the overpopulation is the fact the Church has so much influence in politics. Divorce is illegal, abortion is illegal, contraception is highly frowned upon. Women have no rights so they have no say. The bottom line is you need to reduce the power and scope of the church so that politicians don't pander to them and start listening to the people they represent. It is the population issue that creates shortages and poverty.
