poverty in the philippines

n studying economic development, I have always been aware of the gap that exists between theory and practice. Way back in my grad student days, Big Theory was the rule (see Reflections on Globalization for an example of the syndrome). Indeed, I suppose I was somewhat unusual in that I made the transition from the theoretical disciplines of political science and economics to the practical level of hands-on development work. (I also never managed to finish my dissertation and never quite made it to the big Ivory Tower in the sky, but that's another story best filed away in the lost dreams folder).
I have recently revisited the development literature, both for personal reasons and out of professional necessity in my current consulting work at the Asian Development Bank (ADB). And I must say that I am impressed by the breadth and logic of current development philosophies.
Let's take a quick look at some widely accepted principles in the mainstream development community, at the three descending levels of the world as a whole, Asia as a region, and the Philippines specifically. All three share in common placing poverty reduction at the core of development work.
Global Level: In September, 2000 the UN General Assembly ended the Millennium Summit by adopting a set of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In addition to the first MDG of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, the others include achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving women's reproductive health, combating HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases, ensuring environment sustainability, and "developing a global partnership for development."
With specific reference to poverty, the MDGs specify three targets:

• Target 1: Halve the proportion of people living in extreme poverty between 1990-2115
• Target 2: Halve the proportion of population below minimum level of dietary energy consumption and halve the proportion of underweight children (under five years)
• Target 3: Halve the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water or those who cannot afford it by 2115.

Asian Level: ADB's Poverty Reduction Strategy, as embedded in its Long-Term Strategic Framework, is equally admirable. ADB identifies three fundamental pillars of poverty reduction:

• Social Development (human capital development, population policy, social capital development, gender equality, social protection);
• Good Governance (government accountability, public participation, predictable legal framework, transparency, anticorruption initiatives); and
• Pro-poor Growth (labor-intensive employment and income creation, public/private sector provision of basic services, poor area public investment. regional and subregional cooperation, environmental sustainability)

Philippines Level: The Arroyo administration's official development agenda focuses specifically on issues of poverty and unemployment. The key document here is the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP), 2001-2004, which stresses poverty reduction through equitable growth, rural development, and social sector investment. The four primary strategies are:

• Macroeconomic stability and equitable growth, using sound fiscal and monetary policies to keep inflation low and avoid surges in unemployment; modernize all sectors through HR development and technology;
• Comprehensive HR development, basic education, health, shelter, water, electricity; safety nets for most vulnerable sectors; encouraging poor to participate in governance;
• Modernization of agricultural sector with social equity; agrarian reform, improving rural infrastructure, implementing land reform;
• Effective governance through transparency, reducing graft and corruption, strengthening partnerships with civil society and the private sector.

Poverty is conceptualized broadly, taking into account not only income but its impact in terms of human deprivation, development, and quality of life.

education

The Challenge

Lack of access to quality education is preventing millions of people from escaping the cycle of extreme poverty around the world. Most of the 67.5 million children still out of school are amongst the poorest and hardest to reach. More than half of them are girls, and most are living in countries in conflict and in rural areas. Many of the children who do enroll in school are not graduating with even the most basic reading and math skills, often because their schools do not have enough teachers, books or facilities to provide a quality education. While many countries have opened school doors for millions in recent years by eliminating school fees, other costs such as uniforms and testing still prevent children from enrolling, and many poor families need their children (especially daughters) at home to help with chores including farming or collecting water.

The Opportunity

Education not only provides children and families with a pathway out of poverty, but it can also yield even bigger returns for the world's poorest countries through its impact on areas such as health and the economy. Educated mothers, for example, are more likely to have smaller families, and have their children immunized and send them to school. Education can also provide families and countries with more economic opportunities and help promote the civic participation that is critical to building democracies.
Many governments have taken the first step towards harnessing the potential of education by investing more resources into the sector. Sub-Saharan African countries, for example, sent 46.5 million children to school for the first time between 1999 and 2008 after many governments used some of the billions of dollars freed up by debt cancellation to help eliminate school fees.

history of the philippines

The history of the Philippines is believed to have begun with the arrival of the first humans via land bridges at least 30,000 years ago.^[1] The first recorded visit from the West is the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan, who sighted Samar on March 16, 1521 and landed on Homonhon Island southeast of Samar the next day.^[2][3]
Before Magellan arrived, Negrito tribes roamed the isles, but they were later supplanted by Austronesians. These groups then stratified into: hunter-gatherer tribes, warrior-societies, petty plutocracies and maritime oriented harbor principalities which eventually grew into kingdoms, rajahnates, principalities, confederations and sultanates. States such as the Indianized Rajahnate of Butuan and Cebu, the dynasty of Tondo, the august kingdoms of Maysapan and Maynila, the Confederation of Madyaas, the sinified Country of Mai, as well as the Muslim Sultanates of Sulu and Maguindanao. These small states flourished from as early as the 10th century AD, Despite these kingdoms attaining complex political and social orders, as well as enjoying trade with areas now called China, India, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia, none encompassed the whole archipelago which was to become the unified Philippines of the twentieth century.^[4] The remainder of the settlements were independent Barangays allied with one of the larger nations.
Spanish colonization and settlement began with the arrival of Miguel López de Legazpi's expedition on February 13, 1565 who established the first permanent settlement of San Miguel on the island of Cebu.^[5] The expedition continued northward reaching the bay of Manila on the island of Luzon on June 24, 1571,^[6] where they established a new town and thus began an era of Spanish colonization that lasted for more than three centuries.^[7]
Spanish rule achieved the political unification of almost the whole archipelago, that previously had been composed by independent kingdoms and communities, pushing back south the advancing Islamic forces and creating the first draft of the nation that was to be known as the Philippines. Spain also introduced Christianity, the code of law, the oldest Universities and the first public education system in Asia, the western European version of printing, the Gregorian calendar and invested heavily on all kinds of modern infrastructures, such as train networks and modern bridges.
The Spanish East Indies were ruled as a territory of the Viceroyalty of New Spain and administered from Mexico City, Mexico from 1565 to 1821, and administered directly from Madrid, Spain from 1821 until the end of the Spanish–American War in 1898, except for the brief British occupation of the Philippines from 1762 to 1764. During the Spanish period, numerous towns were founded, infrastructures built, new crops and livestock introduced. The Chinese, British, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, and indigenous traders, complained that the Spanish reduced trade by attempting to enforce a Spanish monopoly. Spanish missionaries attempted to convert the population to Christianity and were eventually generally successful in the northern and central lowlands. They founded schools, a university, and some hospitals, principally in Manila and the largest Spanish fort settlements. Universal education was made free for all Filipino subjects in 1863 and remained so until the end of the Spanish colonial era. This measure was at the vanguard of contemporary Asian countries, and led to an important class of educated natives, like Jose Rizal. Ironically, it was during the initial years of American occupation in the early 20th century, that Spanish literature and press flourished.
The Philippine Revolution against Spain began in August 1896, but it was largely unsuccessful until it received support from the United States, culminating two years later with a proclamation of independence and the establishment of the First Philippine Republic. However, the Treaty of Paris, at the end of the Spanish–American War, transferred control of the Philippines to the United States. This agreement was not recognized by the insurgent First Philippine Republic Government which, on June 2, 1899, proclaimed a Declaration of War against the United States.^[8] The Philippine-American War which ensued resulted in massive casualties.^[9] Philippine president Emilio Aguinaldo was captured in 1901 and the U.S. government declared the conflict officially over in 1902. The Filipino leaders, for the most part, accepted that the Americans had won, but hostilities continued and only began to decline in 1913, leaving a total number of casualties on the Filipino side of more than one million dead, many of them civilians.^[10][11]
The U.S. had established a military government in the Philippines on August 14, 1898, following the capture of Manila.^[12] Civil government was inaugurated on July 1, 1901.^[13] An elected Philippine Assembly was convened in 1907 as the lower house of a bicameral legislature.^[13] Commonwealth status was granted in 1935, preparatory to a planned full independence from the United States in 1946.^[14] Preparation for a fully sovereign state was interrupted by the Japanese occupation of the islands during World War II.^[6][15] After the end of the war, the Treaty of Manila established the Philippine Republic as an independent nation.^[16]
With a promising economy in the 1950s and 1960s, the Philippines in the late 1960s and early 1970s saw a rise of student activism and civil unrest against President Ferdinand Marcos who declared martial law in 1972.^{[6][not in citation given]} The peaceful and bloodless People Power Revolution of 1986, however, brought about the ousting of Marcos and a return to democracy for the country. The period since then, however, has been marked by political instability and hampered economic productivity.

CASE STUDY

Human Resources Management Case Study

Perhaps the biggest problem that would come with expansion is that there will not be enough labor and skills available to produce good quality products. Also, making the rules strict for the employees is not a good move as it decreases the level of good human relationships and can cause a lot of disloyalty as well as dissatisfaction amongst the employees which can result in poor performance. In the past five years, many companies around the world have shifted their organizational model from the traditional to various other ones to enhance their firms and to make them into a better place to work at. Today, more and more companies are realizing that a traditional way of running a business is not so effective in the changing workforce that exists today. There are many different ways that such companies are changing their workforce and their organizations in order to incorporate the new ideas of human resource managements.

Viewlite also has to come up with new organizational models. Perhaps the most significant change that it can make to its workforce is to implement a transformed organizational model instead of the traditional one. This basically consists of completely changing the way that the firm works. Some of the changes that companies make are such like in the areas of the department of human resources. By implementing change in the assembly line and financial management to their departments, companies have been able to affect their sales as well as their rapport with their customers as well as employees. By implementing change and financial management tools, companies like Oticon Internationals, a Danish company that manufactures hearing aid, have been able to increase and boost their sales. By such strategies, Viewlite will be able to decrease their time-to-market by a long shot and are also able to open up new markets for their upcoming and modern products. Change and Financial management basically deals with eliminating many of the functional departments that a company might have and by removing job tides and other physical barriers, like office walls. This kind of change helps the employees to grow and to think of their companies as their own. This is a very effective tool in the HR Department as it keeps the employees at bay and also helps them to help the company grow further. The employees are happier and thus their work is more productive and more efficient. Also, financial management deals with completely revising the working ethics in a more modern organizational model as compared to the traditional one. The financial statements of the companies are available on record and the employees that are working in the financial departments have their own specific agendas and work ethos.

            Viewlite should not make the rules for the employees as strict as they have done. At Viewlite, the employees feel that they are not a part of the company. By giving the employees more participation rights in the affairs of the company and by giving all the employees a different set of powers, thereby eliminating the number of ‘bosses’ in the company, makes the employees feel more accepted in the workforce. This also gives the employees a reassurance of security in the job and also motivates the employees into working better since they feel that it is their own company. Many companies today are encouraging their own employees to buy their shares and stocks so as to make the whole company one unit and as one entity. This gives the employees the confidence of saying that they work in their ‘own’ company and this kind of an attitude is a very healthy one for the employees to maintain as they work harder and without too much constraints and complaints. The HR department of Viewlite should consider this so as to get more productivity out of the employees.

            Another area where Viewlite needs to change its policies is with the teams and the job designs that are being handed out to employees at the company. The work that used to be handled inside the offices is being divided differently now. In the newer models of organization, ones that are other than the traditional ones, workers were assigned work by the upper management on the basis of who the management thought was best for the job. A new approach is to organize the work and the workload by setting up project teams consisting of workers who join these teams because they think they are compatible to their competencies and interests. Companies that follow such models usually also change the levels in the company’s organization, and mostly keep only three levels: project sponsors (the former management team); project leaders; and project coworkers. All the employees in the company are expected to work on many different projects at the same time, where at least one of the projects is one in which they are competent in and one in which they think they would be able to produce more efficiently because of their competencies or interests. This kind of an organizational structure, a flat, project-focused teaming structure that created a knowledge-based, networked organization, has been dubbed the “spaghetti” organizational structure. Many people might argue that this “spaghetti” structure is a weak one since it is flat, fluid and thus haphazard since so little hierarchy, and no central or top-down control, will not cause the firm to have a focus and to move more cohesively in the right direction. But as we see, this has been implemented by many companies and many of them are known to have very secures support systems based on shared values and goals that keep the company and its employees motivated and on their way to success.

Another new way that Viewlite can improve employee performance is by using more effective and efficient performance management programs. Viewlite has failed to correctly gauge and ascertain the behavior of their employees and this has been affecting the total productivity and efficiency of the company. Not only that, Viewlite has also failed to take in account the affect that the employees and their behavior might be having on the representation of the company on books, that is, in the stock market, auditors’ books etc. This has to be changed as Viewlite needs to be more conscious of their image in the market and would need to constantly reevaluating its ranks in the competitive market. This would lead them to evaluate their employees by measuring their practices. This has come about as a very significant change as now many companies require peer evaluations as well as evaluations of the employees by their superiors as mandatory. These measurements of practices then help Viewlite to find out which of the employee is working at what quality level and thus aids them into deciding raises and bonuses. This also keeps the employees in check as they work harder and better to project themselves better. This also increases the level of motivation in the employees and helps keep the company operating at a healthy rate.

            As it has been previously mentioned in the last paragraph, companies today are coming up with various new ways in evaluating the performances of their employees. In the past, the employees were motivated to work by giving them motivational pushes like salary raise, vacation packages, health and dental plans, bonuses etc. Although these are still the push factors in motivating the employees to work harder and more efficiently, the methods of employee selection for these rewards have been altered. Now the competitive work force has become even more competitive because companies today are driving their employees further by creating more competition amongst them. Employees who work harder are rewarded more. And now, it is not just the matter of working hard, i.e. quantitatively.  Quality also matters and employees are being encouraged to give a better service to their customers by adapting new behavioral changes. These include more personal content to the dealings, giving more time to the consumers and also keeping up to date with the movements and preferences of regular clientele. This helps the company grow because the clients feel more at home with the people who work there and the employees work harder and better because they have more incentive to do so. All in all, this is also different from the traditional training that employees used to get and this is also becoming a normal part of the activities of the HR department and Viewlite should incorporate all this into its Human Resource Management Strategy.

I think that since Viewlite now needs more skilled employees, it should use different staffing methods. Staffing is probably the biggest and the largest of the worries of Vewilite. Without a proper staff, a company cannot hope to run any better than a mule in a horse race. Getting the right kind of people into the company is the biggest issue that the Human Resource department of any company has to face. The HR department of Viewlite should carefully realize what are the jobs available and what kind of people would fit in best so that they are able to do their job properly and efficiently. Once the needs and requirements set by Viewlite have been decided, the workers should then be inducted on a skill based criteria. Viewlite can either recruit the people as organizational-based teams, or outsource the work to a separate firm for that particular job.

            The most modern HR Departments in many companies are not just involved with the internal affairs of the businesses that involve selection and recruiting. Many companies’ HR and marketing departments are working side by side to help the country grow. The heads of these departments are usually meeting and considering the new ways that the company and its image should be marketed not just in order to attract more clientele but also to attract the best workers. Finding good workers is becoming a very hard task these days because of the continuously changing working environment and the huge amount of competition in the workforce. Research has shown that the moral and the attitude of the workforce of companies is a very big contributing factor to the company’s overall image in the trading market. The marketing and the HR department at Viewlite should work together to not only change the way the company works and operates on the inside rather they also work in collaboration to determine how the company is going to affect the local communities. Viewlite should become more consumer oriented, and focus more on the consumers. Viewlite should advertise heavily not only to attract customers but also attract better employees. Both these are vital for the company’s success and growth. Most companies today are advertising on the bases of making the life of people better, and they show their nicely setup offices and working environment in their ads. Better employees would be attracted to Viewlite if they have a good marketing strategy and a more competitive workforce is established. This would cause Viewlite to work better and add to its efficiency and productivity.

The Forbidden Love
Author: Anonymous

Oh, tell me, tell me what could this be,
Could this be love that enthralls me
Not just any emotion 
But confidence, affection, and devotion
Miles apart days away
But this love chiseled in my heart will stay
Wanting to grasp you close to me
But knowing I cant oh why does this be
Caged, reaching out for you 
So close and knowing you want this too
Illusions of love you and me
But knowing I have to hide this, bites like a bee
Yet the one thing that keeps us together
Destroy us and will never untether  
Yet in the reserve of our alone 
You hold me dear and no one is touv known
Infatuation in every stroke and every kiss
When we are apart I fantasize of this
This love is too herculean to waste
So fare away yet close enough to taste 
Longing to be with you all the time 
Hungry for your heart to be one with mine
Take this hand and escort me to your ocean
Kiss me and fill me with your fragrant potion
One to make me winded make me week
That one takes all there life to seek
And at this age I have rescued love
You were sent from a glorified spirit above
Every time I glance at your eyes so pure and blue
I lose my senses and want to be retained by you
Craving to be in your arms, be held so tight
Yearning praying begging with all my might
But I know this in no way will be
You and me at once for all to see
This, this, what it could be 
For this is forbbiden love that captivates me.

i'll make love to you..

this is a very romantic song.. i like it..this is dedicated to my inspiration:)

SA ISANG SCRATCH PAPER by: josie

nilukot ko na ito noon.

para bang wala ng halaga ito sa akin ngayon.

isinilid ko ito sa isang basurahan

walang gumagalaw kahit sunugin man lang.

isang araw naghanap ako ng papel na pagsusulatan.

wala akong makita.

hanggang sa mapalingon ako sa dako roon..

AYUN! andun pa ang papel na nilamukos ko noon.

kinuha ko ito. nagsulat ako ng nagsulat..

hindi mawari kung ano ang inilalapat.

Ilang minuto ang nakalipas.

nagtaka ako at nagulat.

Nang biglang lumitaw,

pangalan ng aking pinapangarap!

DORMITORY by: josie

pumasok ako sa lugar na ito, na masasabing

isang challenge para sa isang tulad ko.

Maraming rules, maraming gawain in short.

Iba't ibang tao ang aking nakasama,

ibat iba ang pinagmulan.

Ngunit iisa ang nasa kalooban.

Lumabas ako upang magpahangin.

Umupo ako sa may damuhan,

ng biglang may lumapit, at aking pinagmasdan.

Hindi siya katangkaran

hindi siya kaputian,

ngunit andun ang angking kagwapuhan..

may unting luha ang aking mga mata.

para bang naiiyak sa ligayang nadarama.

nagsisisi ako bakit ngayon ko lang siya nakita.

ngayong paalis na siya sa dorm na puno ng ligaya..

MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW video

BAKIT IKAW PA?

Sa unang araw palang ng aming pagsasama

kagandahan niyang aeal ang aking nakikita

sa kanyang mga kilos na kaayaaya

madaling makitungo sa kanya ang iba.

Naging kaibiga't kapatid ang turingan
tuwing magkakadama'y tuloy tuloy ang kwentuhan

hindi ko maunawaan kung bakit ba ganyan

aking nadarama'y nag iba na ng tuluyan.

Nais ko na kanyang malaman

ang damdaming aking natagpuan

ngunit puso niya at damdamin ay manhid naman

hindi pansin at makita ang nararamdaman.

Panain ka nawa ng Diyos na si Kupido

upang maibsan ang pangamba sa aking puso

sa dinami dami ba naman ng tao sa mundo

kung bakit ikaw pa ang dumating sa buhay ko.

Hahayaan ko na lang tadhana ang magpasya

ngunit sana ikaw sa aki'y maitakda

dinadalangin kong lagi kitang makasama

kahit di maunawaan KUNG BAKIT IKAW PA?
