Most of the People who don't have Food in their tables are the ONES who voted for the Corrupt Politicians to be elected into Office... ang Problema kinsay ugat sa Problema.

Yup, the same people who voted into office the latest batch of winners. These same people have been and continue to be corrupted by the corrupt. We know who these are, right?

Also from the same media source, and funny because the dateline is also the same.

Despite high economic growth, PH has highest unemployment rate in Asean | Inquirer Business

The government had reported that the country’s second-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 5.9 percent year on year.
This was higher than the average growth of the region at 4.7 percent and faster than that of Malaysia (5.4 percent), Thailand (4.2 percent), Vietnam (4.4 percent), Singapore (2.0 percent), although lower than Indonesia’s 6.4 percent and China’s 7.8 percent.
Africa, however, said, citing 2011 official figures, that the Philippines unemployment rate was “the worst in Southeast Asia and more than double the regional average.”
“The country’s unemployment rate of 7 percent in 2011 was more than double the regional average of 3.2 percent and higher than in Indonesia (6.6 percent), Myanmar (4.0 percent), Malaysia (3.1 percent), Singapore (2.7 percent), Brunei (2.6 percent), Vietnam (2.0 percent), Cambodia (1.7 percent), Laos (1.4 percent) and Thailand (0.7 percent),” Africa said.
He added that the disparity between the high GDP growth and the unemployment rate “further highlights the exclusionary character of the country’s growth.”
“The country’s unemployment crisis will remain unresolved without a genuine thrust to develop Filipino manufacturing and domestic agriculture,” Africa said.
“Unfortunately, the government persists in promoting low employment and low value-added sectors such as business process outsourcing (BPO), mining, tourism, enclave manufacturing for export, and cheap labor export. These are sectors where foreign investors and economies benefit disproportionately more than Filipinos,” he said.

But of course this news is buried in the inside pages... It's a 'bit' negative so it does not deserve highlighting, right?

You're right. This is why i feel now is also the right time to abolish the 60/40 constitutional provision, so that more FDIs will come in.

"The Philippines continues to lag behind other emerging Asian economies in terms of cornering foreign direct investments (FDIs)." taken from the article you provided a link.

So do you think the current administration is up to it? Or would oligarchy remain when the 'demographic window' finally opens?
