At the turn of the century, Filipinos in increasing numbers travelled and studied abroad and brought home with them new ideas. It was this group of Filipinos who were in close in contact with the new economic movement in Europe.

Two names worthy of note were Dr. Jose P. Rizal and Teodoro Sandiko.

Rizal, after his side trip to Sandakan, Borneo in 1892, requested Governor Despudol that he and some relatives and friends be permitted to move to that place and found a colony under the cooperative plan of Robert Owen. Instead, he was arrested for treason and banished to Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte.

In Dapitan, Rizal had his ideas in cooperation partially fulfilled. He put up a school for the poor community on a purely cooperative basis. He also established a cooperative store with the help of his pupils. One noteworthy group organized by Rizal was the Society of Abaca Producers. This functioned for only one year. Rizal returned the members' share capital without any loss.

Teodoro Sandiko, in his travels in Europe, must have had a close contact with the cooperative movement in Germany where he came across with the Raiffeisen movement. He was very much impressed by this type of cooperative and he looked forward for an opportunity to have it introduced to the Philippines. As destiny might have its choice, Sandiko had his chance when he was appointed one of the early governors when Civil Government, under the Americans, was established.

The Sep 2009 CPI index for FBT (Food, Beverage, Tobacco) went from 152.4 from 151.4 in Aug '09 for NCR (Nat'l Capital Region). That's a .66 % increase in one month. An annual or 12 month period (if each month is .66%) rate would be 8.21%.

Agrarian Reform Philippines not only accelerated the productivity of the agricultural sector of the country, but promoted the agro-based industries as well.

Makati City remains the richest local government unit (LGU) in the country after it posted a P9-billion revenue collection from January to September of this year.

During this period, Makati City collected a total of P9.38 billion in revenue, which is 5 percent higher than its collection for the same period in 2011.

It is estimated to be 9.3 million hectares.

okay here is the thing...philippines has a population density of 312.78 per square kilometer and categorized as dense country which have a density of above 200 per square kilometer but just look at south korea, its density rate is 491 per square kilometer but it is a modern country,rich and absolutely almost no poverty,no water shortages,no famine and other that related to overpopulation...and the human development index is also very high, soo philippines also can be like that but just need some development and some economic boom it is all about managing the country ...don't blame the population,and do you know why philippines birth rate is high? easy... because the women had less education about contraception...and actualy the population is the one who contribute to economic growth.

The main causes are lack of education, especially those people from the country side

Cost of education is expensive here in the Philippines, not to mention that children do not start any government education until the age of 6

Also you have to consider that to get a job here in the Philippines, you must attend a medical, get clearance papers from the local police (to show your not a criminal) and these costs have to be incurred by the person applying for the job, so if you don't have the money in the first place to pay for these, you can't get a job

They control it for the Philippines...that is what the central banks of each country do...and they co-operate with each other too.

Who should?

One of the most important is the infrastructures one example is the airport which drives out tourism in the country.
