How about the fact that the Philippines is a democracy? How about the fact that the Philippine people are free? Communist countries like China implement policies on how many children you can have. It is none of the government's business.\n\nClear enough for ya?

First, by eliminating corruption the plagued the government! From the local to the executive level, corruption is so rampant! If only these so called politicians have conscience, I'm sure poverty would not be a huge issue for any 3rd world country. \nAlso, people should change their own perspective in life. It's not because it has been made outside the Philippines, it has good quality. Too much brain drain happening that no society could survive for that matter.

philippines is right now developing.. maybe not as fast as other countries lik china or india but we are... maybe if the people stop talking about ousting the president and just continue on working for the best of our country's economy then maybe we can be in a faster pace... lets all pray there will be no more people power... its time to move on

Poor economically?  Poor in the country of the Phillipines or everywhere?  Your "poorly" posed question will not get you the answer you think it will.  Expound on your question and maybe you'll get a decent answer.  The way you state your question as it is now is insulting to those of Filipino heritage.

Education technique and tools in Philippines are way behind from other countries like U.S, etc. The effectivity is not enough supply for the future generation because of lack of high technology. Teachers are not knowledgeable enough to discuss about new technologies and their usage because no enough tools to learn about.

The interest rates for savings in the Philippines are rather low, unfortunately, around the area of 1-2%.

The Philippines is 80% Catholic, 10% Evangelical, 10% others.\n\nChristianity is not directly proportional to Economic status. The economic success of a country depends on the discipline of the authorities and ordinary citizens combined. I respect the faith in God but only God will bless a nation if the people are both God-fearing and doing their work right.\n\nTerrorism, corruption, poverty mentality and laziness can be the main culprits.\n\nHope I have answered you Q.

It is true that more than half of the population is under poverty. What we have to make is to provide them the essential commodities at cheaper rate. Most of them should be provided 'pay for work' jobs as per Minimum wages Act. The health facilities and educational facilities shall be provided as nearer as to them. To supply them the essential commodities at cheaper rate, we have either to produce more the items listed as essential commodities or to import at cheaper rate as a welfare measure. Govt. should take all steps to control the inflation rate. It is a wonder that nowadays inflation rate is almost static but the rates of certain commodities are getting doubled/tripled.\n\nIf all these are provided to the population beneath the poverty line, somehow we will be successful in fighting 'poverty' in India.

Japan is the wealthiest, with a GDP of about $4.6 trillion, or $36,000 per person.  The poorest is East Timor, with a GDP of only $332 million.  (Those figures aren't exact, because there is a lot of variability in how the numbers are calculated).  The poorest on a per-capita basis is Myanmar, at $219/person.
