    Three Years Left, Will Mdgs Be Achieved?

    At September 2000, 193 country becoming member of United Nations and the world leaders have agreed to make Millennium Development Goals which should be achieved in 2015 where the idea behind making MDGs is to support and push up the development of poorest country in the world. More than decade after the MDGs agreed, some progress has been shown over the country in the world. There is significant discrepancy in the progress of MDGs. In example, based on the data extremely poverty falls in china from 60% in 1990 to 13% in 2008 whereas in Sub-Saharan Africa from 56% in 1990 to 47%, the target is cutting by halve from 1990 which is 34%, in 2008.

Also, the developing countries will get the impact due to the multiple crisis happened 2008. Because of that there is slow grown in some goals at MDGs, such the reduction of maternal death.…

    History of the Philippine Agriculture

    Introduction Although many still think of the Philippines as an agricultural economy, strictly speaking, it is not. Agriculture, fishery and forestry directly account for just one-fifth (20 percent) of the economy’s aggregate domestic output (GDP). Ever since the 1960s, the direct share of agriculture in the GDP had fallen below one-third, and by 1981, the sector’s share had decreased to only 23 percent. Growth from this level was rather anemic, averaging 1.7 percent per annum during the period 1981-2003, compared to the average overall GDP growth of 2.6% over the same period. While agriculture output was largely stagnant through the years, industry and especially services significantly raised their output shares, particularly in the past two decades (Figure 1). Agriculture’s importance looms larger when it comes to employment, with nearly two-fifths (i.e. 37 percent) of jobs currently coming from the sector. Still, the services sector accounts for close to half of both output and jobs in the economy. But if one considers agroprocessing and agricultural inputs manufacturing and trading (i.e. agribusiness sectors) along with basic agricultural production, about 40 percent of GDP and two-thirds of jobs in the economy arise from agriculture (Tolentino et al. 2001). Unfortunately, agriculture also displays the most erratic growth among the economy’s major sectors, with growth rates tending to fluctuate widely from quarter to quarter (Figure 2). The sector’s recent growth performance manifests the same volatility. While the sector’s full year real GDP growth performance was well within the target for 2004 and exceeded the preceding year’s performance, the most recent quarters have seen dramatic slowdowns from previous quarters, due mostly to unfavorable weather conditions. Notwithstanding these challenges, the critical role of the agriculture sector…

    Role of Technology Parks in National Development

    The UN Millennium Project is an independent advisory body commissioned by the UN Secretary-General to propose the best strategies for meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs are the world’s targets for dramatically reducing extreme poverty in its many dimensions by 2015—income poverty, hunger, disease, exclusion, lack of infrastructure and shelter—while promoting gender equality, education, health, and environmental sustainability. The UN Millennium Project is directed by Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, Special Advisor to the Secretary-General on the Millennium Development Goals. The bulk of its analytical work has been carried out by 10 thematic task forces comprising more than 250 experts from around the world, including scientists, development practitioners, parliamentarians, policymakers, and representatives from civil society, UN agencies, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the private sector. The UN Millennium Project reports directly to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and United Nations Development Programme Administrator Mark Malloch Brown, in his capacity as Chair of the UN Development Group.…

    Philippine GDP grew 7.6% in 2010, spurred by consumer demand, a rebound in exports and investments, and election-related spending, before cooling to 3.7% in 2011. The economy weathered the 2008-09 global recession better than its regional peers due to minimal exposure to troubled international securities, lower dependence on exports, relatively resilient domestic consumption, large remittances from four- to five-million overseas Filipino workers, and a growing business process outsourcing industry. Economic growth in the Philippines averaged 4.5% during the MACAPAGAL-ARROYO administration (January 2001 - June 2010). Despite this growth, however, poverty worsened during her presidency. The AQUINO administration is working to reduce the government deficit from 3.9% of GDP, when it took office, to 2% of GDP by 2013. The government has had little difficulty issuing debt, both locally and internationally, to finance the deficits. The AQUINO Administration reduced public debt to below 50% of GDP and obtained several ratings upgrades on sovereign debt so that the Philippines is now close to investment grade. However, the lack of government spending, especially on infrastructure, was one of several factors which slowed GDP growth in the second half of 2011, leading the government to announce a stimulus effort and increased public spending on infrastructure in 2012. AQUINO's first budget emphasized education, health, conditional cash transfers for the poor, and other social spending programs, relying mostly on the private sector to finance important infrastructure projects. Weak tax collection, exacerbated by new tax breaks and incentives, has limited the government's ability to address major challenges. The AQUINO administration has vowed to focus on improving tax collection efficiency, rather than imposing new taxes, as a part of its good governance platform. The economy still faces several long-term challenges, including reliance on energy imports…

    State Of The Nation Address

    The President Benigno Aquino III successfully delivered his fifth State of the Nation Address on Monday, July 28, 2014 at the Batasang Pambansa even there were so many militant’s outside. During his speech I became more open-minded about his administration and on what problem they are really focusing on and feel pity for those militant’s because some of the problems they are pointing to President Aquino must be point first to their designated local government. And as one of the people of this community we must also understand that those projects and progress takes time.He tackled the very important topic of Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) and defended his stance, showing all the projects where the funds and savings of the DAP was directed to. He said that this DAP fund was able to help TESDA scholars. He also shared about the Philippines as one of the leading countries in Asia, for its growth in GDP, GNP. Also, the employment rate had increased and that this reflects how the government handled the labor policies.…
