Economic Conributions
Contributions and Achievements of Fidel V. Ramos * during his time, the Philippines was cited as Asia’s Next Economic Tiger because he brought back economic growth * the Philippines celebrated Centennial Independence in 1998 * he’s the only Filipino who received British Knighthood from the United Kingdom, bestowed by Queen Elizabeth II (Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St. Michael and St. George) * he led the 4th APEC Summit held in the Philippines * his “Philippines 2000” vision made the Philippine Stock Exchange one of the best in the world in the mid-90s * Death Penalty was reinstated at his time * he signed peace talks and agreement with the MNLF
Joseph Estrada (June 30, 1998 – January 20, 2001)
Known as Erap, he was the first president who was a famous film actor. His governance had so many downs due to controversies, impeachment and slow economic growth. I think he’s the first president who has been impeached and the second one who was forced to leave the office because of People Power III in Edsa. Philippine economy was at its worst because of leadership uncertainty.
Contributions and Achievements of Joseph “Erap” Estrada: * during his time, the MILF’s headquarters and camps were captured * he joined other leaders and politicians who supported against the Charter Change * was cited as one of the Three Outstanding Senators in 1989 * was among the “Magnificent 12” who voted for the termination of the Philippines and US Military Bases Agreement from Clark Airbase and Subic Naval Base

Ramos completed his elementary education at Lingayen Elementary School, graduating as the class valedictorian. For his secondary education, he initially studied at the University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS) but graduated from Centro Escolar University Integrated School.
In 1946, a few months after enrolling at the National University (NU) in Manila, Ramos earned a government scholarship to study at the United

    1.Consider the following entry game. Here, firm B is an existing firm in the market, and firm A is a potential entrant. Firm A must decide whether to enter the market (play "enter") or stay out of the market (play "not enter"). If firm A decides to enter the market, firm B must decide whether to engage in a price war (play "hard"), or not (play "soft"). By playing "hard", firm B ensures that firm A makes a loss of $1 million, but firm B only makes $1 million in profits. On the other hand, if firm B plays "soft", the new entrant takes half of the market, and each firm earns profits of $5 million. If firm A stays out, it earns zero while firm B earns $10 million. Which of the following are Nash equilibrium strategies?…

    The article I chose as the second part of my project, it is called “Switzerland’s Proposal to Pay People for Being Alive” By Annie Lowrey. In this article, Ms. Lowrey talks about the idea of paying each and every citizen in Switzerland. The payment would not have stipulations on it such as for being poor or because a person is old, simply for being alive is what the activists of Switzerland are proposing. The activists had a truck dump eight million coins outside the Parliament building in Bern. This was part of a publicity stunt; each one of the coins represented a Swiss citizen. The activists also delivered a petition with 125,000 signatures, which requires a Swiss public referendum. What the activists are requesting is that a monthly income be allotted to each and every citizen with no strings attached. They are requesting that a monthly check be sent from the government to every Swiss person. As far as limitations, there would be none. It wouldn’t matter how rich or poor, young or old a person would be to receive this monthly allowance. The thought is that by providing this income, it would end poverty, but what would reappear in its place.…
