Philippine Economy

A recap of how previous Philippine republics and administrations handled the agriculturals economy since the Spanish era, including their management of the economy. In the days w here(predicate)in the Philippines was under the Spanish Republic the country was at a good accommodate a go at it in Asia. Manila and Cebu were the only European cities we were mavin of the shell countries in Asia when it scrapes to trading domestic on the satisfyingy and internationally. Before, we were always trading with mexico sharing our culture to them and them sharing there culture to us.The country was at a good spot but as the Americans said the Philippines was like any other good but slow spanish colonized economy like the economies of countries in randomness America namely Mexico, Puerto Rico, Argentina and etc. According to an article Economy during the Spanish Colonial Period. n. page. Web. Aug. 2012. . After being controlled under the Spanish regime which lasted for three hundred year s, the Philippines were in a impertinently republic under the American government. Our country once became a lot of America.It was one of the American States just like how-do-you-do right straightaway, no matter how far they argon, they hushed belong to the United States. Our countrys economy before was in truth pump-priming. It was rising back again because Americans knew a kitty in controlling a countrys economy. They knew how to organize masses more racy in each of their daily lives, they knew the importance of the english language to us and they knew how to make this country moving from a good Latin country to a bustling busy city.Americans taught Filipinos how to use the telephone thats why now, as you can see, we have PLDT, We were taught how to speak english thats why now, as you can see, we are now Asias most competitive english speakers. We were taught how to use the television, how to function the air conditioner, how to operate the airstream machine and etc. W e were so Americanized before that in the whole Asia we were the first Asians to taste coke and thats why now, as you can see, coke has been a part of the filipino tradition like having coke and bread to your visitors a way of screening Philippine Hospitality.Our country had a lot of investments coming from America and they built a lot of places that couldve been a major city if they were to stay here longer like Makati, Subic, Taft, Commonwealth and Clark. Without the Americans we wouldnt have these right now. We should be grateful to them because now that the Philippines is growing, more call centers, condominiums, office spaces, retail , and commercialised areas are sprouting in the place. According to an article The Philippines Changes in the American Period . n. page. Web. . While Philippines was at peace with the Americans there came the Japanese soldiers.They controlled our country like any other country they controlled in other parts of Asia like Malaysia Singapore, Cam bodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Korea, they stole many lifelike resources like gold, copper and many other metals that would help theyre country Japan to get rich and have a good economic status. In the Japanese Era our country The Philippines, experienced on of the military mans worst inflations. In that time everyone was struggling, striving to get a good life and exerting so much move just to escape the poor situation.In the Japanese era, The Philippines became poor. According to Balabag, Marilyn. The Japanese Period in the Philippines. n. page. Web. Aug. 2012. . While the Japanese people were busy harassing Filipino women, Americans fought back for us because they knew we had enough of it and we deserve peace. Surprising the Japanese, the Japanese men were preparing in case the situation go awaying get real serious like secretly prep the attacks, secretly creating and formulating bombs, secretly building aero weapons and aquatic weapons as well.The Americans started it so both countries Japan and The United Stated of America began exchanging bombs from place to place destroying each others lands and properties and cleansing each other mercilessly. And finally Japan declared quits. The Philippine economy was at its worst. We couldnt grab time to recover our countrys economy, our precious structures were being affected with all the bombs and missiles that soldiers threw on causing a lot of damage and funds to recover it.Japanese people in time stole billions from us and never even bothered to digest theyre debts until now and to top it off they even stole gold from us like the huge beautiful golden statue called Yamashita What a shame and to think its one of the richest countries in Asia to date. According to Jess Chin, Carlos Gavino. The Philippines-American/Japanese War. n. page. Web. Aug. 2012. . After being under the Spanish, American, and Japanese republic, The Philippines finally declared independence.Philippines finally stood up on its own two feet. originator President, Gloria Macapagal Arroyos Administration, The Philippine Economy was lagging. A proof would be the GDP Growth where it grew for only a tiny 1%. If you would compare Philippines to other South-East Nations, The Philippines was stub amongst them. Even Vietnam chased after The Philippines and almost Cambodia thank God Cambodia has not been able to chase us yet because if were chased it just goes to show The Philippines is really Sick and not investor friendly.We were down by then in her administration. According to Africa, Sonny. Dark Legacies The Economy under Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. (2010) n. page. Web. Aug. 2012. . In The Present administration of President Noynoy Aquino, The Philippines is showing shocking results for example the GDP Growth. The 2010 GDP Growth in The Philippines early months were really high from 6% to 7% and to 8%. We were really in a good spot.Reasons why the GDP grew that way was because of election spending and if youre not familiar with election spending, it means that politicians spending so much money for ads and commercial for them for example Manny Villar, and by the way I chose Manny Villar because in my own opinion, I think Manny Villar had the most ads and commercial in the elections season like the famous variant that was produced and composed for him only few knew the title we mostly called it Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura so back to the topic, election spending is simply politicians putting theyre whole money on the commercials and ads which would equal to opening doors for new jobs like the employees of the printing press get more productive, people will get jobs for pasting theyre posters, directors, writers and producers gets more productive and more people will be paid for talent fee. Well, those are the most common jobs when there is election spending there are still actually more jobs that are uncommon, more jobs that can help Filipinos sustain theyre daily needs.

As of now the Philippine GDP growth of 2012 in the 1st quarter is 6. 4%. Shocking everyone around the world for getting the second highest rank in asia only behind china.China is ranked as the highest because of the endless construction of condominiums which until nowstayed empty By the later years China will experience a huge property bubble burst which means when all condominiums are built and still stayed empty, what would happen is that, businessmen will go bankrupt and money will not be circulating anymore because why would China still build many condominiums when most of the condominiums are not even sold yet? Which would mean less construction equal to less people will be employed, equal to fewer people will get salary which would, in the end, equal to money not circulating around the country which would resu lt to low GDP Growth even now, predictions for Chinas 2nd Quarter GDP Growth are smaller than there 1st Quarter GDP Growth of 8%. This is one of Chinas big problems, they go along on building infrastructures which in the end, it wont even be utilized. According to an article Phl GDP up 6. 4% in Q1, highest growth in ASEAN.

The Philippines, as of now, is doing really good, our country has been really doing good that the media said that sooner, the Philippines will get an assign rating upgrade and an investment grade. If youre not familiar with credit rating upgrade and investment grade, these are somewhat like badges for countries interpreting how investor-friendly we are. If we get an investment upgrade than we will get noticed by investors comfortably and would mean the more investments this country will receive. To make it easier its like pasting m ore hashtags on an instagram photo.The more hash tags, the more people can easily figure it and will be able to like it and the more exposure your photo will get. Now back to the topic, Our country, The Philippines has been getting so much news from Moody, wood pussy and etc. that sooner or in the near future the Philippines will be getting an investment grade and a credit upgrade rating.

The Filipinos capaci ty to speak english so fluently led many foreigners from around the world to study here and learn how to speak english like how Americans speak the language. Most of the foreigners that come to The Philippines to study here are Koreans.Koreans decide to study here rather than in The United States because education here is cheaper and much worthy plus if you talk about the plane ride and the ticket price, its way cheaper and hours of traveling is also shorter so its less hassle.
