I dont agree or disagree with the Marcos regime but let me give you a few points to think about.\n1)During Marcos time the muslim terrorists were terrified to cause terrorism as if they were caught them and their families would be executed.\n2)Parks, stadiums green areas were well kept.\n3)International trade was at its peak.\n4)Tourism was at its highest.\n5)Western press put Imeldas shoes in the forefront, but ask yourself, how many shoes do other country leaders have, like Queen Elizabeth 11, the British Queen.\n6)If you are a Filipino then there is a question for you. Has the Philippines had a non corrupt government since Marcos, it sad but the answers, NO.

The islands have been known to be part of the Philippines Islands... and nobody cared. Now however, there is the possibility there maybe oil over there. Bringing China and Vietnam into the picture. In fact a few Filipinos actually lived there subsisting mostly by fishing. \n\nHistory has shown again and again that regardless of International Law, possession and power decides ownership. Witness Brunei, a possession of the Sultanate of Sulu and by extension the Philippines. This terrritory was rented in perpetuity by Great Britain for something like $30,000 Malaysian a year. The Philippines tried unsuccessfully to assert ownership thru the International Court. \n\nIf the pattern continues, then China will most likely prevail, unless the Philippines could creatively checkmate it.

The Philippines has been on a political struggle for a long time, almost everybody from different political groups wants to be the ruling party, so the result is....what we have now in the philippines,slow economic growth,poverty and all sorts. Under PD1017, political crisis might be resolve,no rallies and demos,no armed struggle or be arrested, i think this is what my country needs now a harder implementation of rules so as to tame down these politicians with vested interest.

The agricultural industry of the Philippines is one of the fastest growing economies in South East Asia. The market consists mostly of services, as productivity in agriculture and industry is growing as well.\n\nHistorically, the Philippines was primarily an agricultural region producing copra, maize, hemp, rice, sugar, and tobacco. Mining was also notable as the mountains contain substantial amounts of chrome, copper, gold, iron, lead, manganese, and silver. Fishing has been another important occupation, centered in Manila Bay and the Sulu Archipelago. Although fishing has been important, its future is bleak due to expensive funds and equipments.\n\nImportant sectors of the Philippine economy include agriculture and industry, particularly food processing, textiles and garments, and electronics and automobile parts. Most industries are concentrated in the urban areas around metropolitan Manila. Mining also has great potential in the Philippines, which possesses significant reserves of chromite, nickel, and copper. Recent natural gas finds off the islands of Palawan add to the country's substantial geothermal, hydro, and coal energy reserves. In conclusion, the Philippines is abundant in mineral resources and natural gas.\n\n\nBackground\nSince the end of the World War II, the Philippine economy has had a mixed history of growth and development. Over the years, the Philippines has gone from being one of the richest countries in Asia (following Japan) to being one of the poorest. Growth immediately after the war was rapid, but slowed over time. A severe recession in 1984-85 saw the economy shrink by more than 10%, and perceptions of political instability during the Aquino administration further dampened economic activity. During his administration, President Ramos introduced a broad range of economic reforms and initiatives designed to spur business growth and foreign investment. As a result, the Philippines saw a period of rapid sustained growth, but the Asian financial crisis triggered in 1997 slowed economic development in the Philippines once again. In 1998, the Philippine economy deteriorated as a result of spill-over from the Asian financial crisis and poor weather conditions. Growth fell to about -0.5% in 1998 from 5% in 1997, but recovered to 2.9% by 1999. President Estrada tried to resist protectionist measures; and efforts to continue the reforms begun by the Ramos administration made significant progress. A major bank failure in April 2000 and the impeachment and subsequent departure of President Estrada in the beginning of 2001 led to lower growth. The current administration under President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is pushing towards faster and more rapid economic growth. In 2004, the Philippine economy grew by 6.1%, a pleasant surprise, beating most analysts and even the government's estimates. However, the advent of high oil prices might dampen growth estimates for 2005. As of 2006 the economy of the Philippines had a phenomenal growth since the month of November 2005 effecting for lowering of petroleum products and increase of job and industrial opportunities for people and having the currency of the Philippines one of the most oustanding in growth in the world.\n\n\nEconomy year 2005\nThe Philippines was less severely affected by the Asian financial crisis of 1998 than its neighbors, aided in part by annual remittances of $7-8 billion from overseas workers and no sustained runup in asset prices or foreign borrowing prior to the crisis. From a 0.6% decline in 1998, GDP expanded by 2.4% in 1999, and 4.4% in 2000, but slowed to 3.2% in 2001 in the context of a global economic slowdown, an export slump, and political and security concerns. GDP growth accelerated to 4.3% in 2002, 4.7% in 2003, and about 6% in 2004, reflecting the continued resilience of the service sector, and improved exports and agricultural output. Nonetheless, it will take a higher, sustained growth path to make appreciable progress in pove
