RP ECONOMIC STATUS




overall GDP (US$379.7) and estimated GDP per
capita (US$4,600 as of 2002), with a pervasive
poverty problem, (40% of the population below
the poverty line)
UNDP Human Poverty Index is 14.8, placing the
country as the 28TH poorest among 94
developing countries; also placing the
Philippines among the top 34 countries in the
world for unequal income distribution
annual per capita poverty threshold was
estimated at PhP11,906 (US$211.362) in 2002;
a family of five members should have a monthly
income of PhP4,961 (US$88) to meet its food
and non-food basic needs (NCSB 2004)
manufacturing accounts for around 25% of GDP
(textiles, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, wood
products, food processing and petroleum
refining)
RP ECONOMIC STATUS





40th largest in the world, according to
2012 International Monetary Fund statistics and it
is also one of the emerging markets in the world.
considered as a newly industrialized country, it
has been transitioning from one based on
agriculture to one based more on services and
manufacturing
2012 GDP (purchasing power parity) was 424.355
billion, by the year 2050, the Philippines will be
the 14th largest economy in the world,
Philippines included in the list of the Next
Eleven economies.
Philippine economy will become the 16th largest
economy in the world, 5th largest economy
in Asia and the largest economy in the Southeast
Asian region by 2050
PHILIPPINE DEVELOPMENT
PLAN (2011-2016)


anchored on President Benigno S. Aquino III’s 16-point
“Social Contract with the Filipino People,” envisions
inclusive growth for the country. Inclusive growth means
growth that is shared by all and opposed to the trickle
down, jobless growth that we have seen over the recent
years.
good governance and anti-corruption as overarching theme,
the Plan has three broad strategies
- high and sustained economic growth, which provides
productive and decent employment opportunities
- provision of equal access to development opportunities
across geographic areas and across different income and
social spectrum to ensure economic growth and
opportunities that translate to poverty reduction
- push for the implementation of effective and responsive
social safety nets to assist those who will not be able to
catch up by the character of a rapid economic growth.

began in 1987 with the drafting of the Philippine
Strategy for SD (PSSD) aimed ‘to achieve
economic growth with adequate protection of
the country’s biological resources and its
diversity, vital ecosystem functions and overall
environmental quality’
focus on two dimensions: economic and
environmental

Environment and Development, UNCED, in Rio de

- freshwater ecosystem
Two extra sections call for an
improved management of biodiversity
and mineral resources
IMPLEMENTATION
STRATEGIES


map out the action agenda thru two-pronged
strategies:

MORE THAN WEALTH…






period of macroeconomic stability and a GNP
growing 5% or more for the last 5 years
more than increasing wealth as measured by GNP,
GNP per capita - social development alongside
economic growth, and even development of
political systems
economic health and growth are generally
required to commit sufficient resources toward
social development
commitment of resources is a matter of national
political will, so political systems are germane to
national development
political stability has an impact on foreign and
domestic investment, and prerequisite for a
healthy, growing economy
economic growth, social development, and political
stability are inextricably interrelated
UNITED NATIONS MILLENNIUM
DEVELOPMENT GOALS (2015)




Achieve universal primary education
Reduce child mortality by two thirds
from 40…to 32 for every 1,000 live
births, to 27 for every 1,000 live
births by 2015
Improve maternal health and reduce
by three quarters the maternal
mortality ratio
Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other
diseases
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT – THE
BULWARK




UN development goals emphasized economic
and social goals, without any mention of
political goals
politics defined as “who gets what, when, and
how” points to the role politics in resource
allocation necessary for national development
an opportunity to tackle domestic issues such
as widespread poverty and inadequate social
services which, if not addressed, could
threaten political stability, thus disrupting the
economy, resulting in further retarded
development
recent Philippine progress is cause for
optimism, various geographic, economic,
political, and socio-cultural conditions still
present serious challenges to national
development
KEYS OF SUCCESSFUL
SOCIETIES








economic inclusion based on full employment
social inclusion, reflecting full participation in
those activities considered the norm in society
successful and continuing adaptation to change
as the dynamic expression of competitiveness
commitment to the utilization and development
of the potential of the Information Society and
the promotion of Research and Development
commitment to lifelong learning
sustainable and balanced development between
regions and between urban and rural areas
commitment to the further development of the
country and international solidarity
entrepreneurial culture
CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING
INDICATORS OF DEVELOPMENT




Easily understandable – simple, clear and relatively
easy to interpret. This criterion is particularly important
if the audience for the indicators includes nonspecialists, such as the general public or media
Policy-relevant – relate not only to the three
dimensions of sustainable development (economic,
environmental and social) but should also be linked to the
desired goals
within each of these dimensions
Focused on priority issues – concentrate on identifying
and monitoring priority issues so that the project
remains manageable and relevant; more issue-driven
rather than data-driven
Analytically sound – logically or scientifically defensible
and representative of the information they are trying
to summarize
CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING
INDICATORS OF DEVELOPMENT


Measurable – feasible in terms of
current or planned data availability,
bearing in mind cost and resource
requirements of data collection and
processing
Subject to ongoing assessment – open
to challenge, discussion and
modification, to reflect changing
objectives, emergence of new issues
and improvements in measurement
techniques and data availability
CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING
INDICATORS OF DEVELOPMENT


Manageability - keeping the number of
indicators in the 15-20 range; more
focused on the importance of
sustainable economic, social and
environmental development for more
generalized understanding
Coherence – within (vertical) and
across (horizontal) indicators in
various categories like economic, social
and environmental indicators which
strengthen the legitimacy of each of
the three categories rather than each
set in isolation
