The Philippine Dev't Puzzle

The Phil. Dev’t Puzzle
By: Balicasan

Why it is called Philippine Development Puzzle?
There is a need to realign the economic system of the country from the micro level to respond to the macro level of the economic trends of the global development. In doing this, we need to adopt a long-range plan to define sustainable development for the country. We need to be decisive in planning, establish structure that will be responsive to the globalization and to provide a catch up programs to uplift our domestic problems of population, infrastructures, graft and corruption both in public and private sectors, and empowerment of the social sectors in assisting the government in various needs to provide an efficient services to the Filipino people.

Admittedly the author stressed it is evident that the Philippines lack harmony between political structures and the needs of economic development.

To augment the pileup loopholes of all the Philippine leaders from the past to the present it would be no help to point out who are to be blame as well as to keep on searching who will be an appropriate person to give the solutions for our economic deterioration compared to our neighboring Asian countries.

The Philippine government is not decisive to find a solution how to augment what has been lost for the economic development of the country. This is the reality however; we go back to a personal question. I the government seems to be complacent, who would bother to be decisive?

I do agree to the author’s statement that our economic development for over the past half-century was minimal.

I would like to compare the above statement to a “Turtle Walk” we are enjoying leisurely and find a temporal consolations from the little pack of bread available in the vicinity of our habitat without knowing that we can move like an eagle to conquer the best for our constituents This might be too ambitious for the Filipinos but we can not deny the fact that when we see the progress of other countries we are always at owe to their discipline, projection and attitude towards life always making abreast of a competitive economic structure to respond to the growing needs of the humanity and its constituents.

This is again another reality that most of us will say, “ How I wish the Philippines will be progressive also?”

Will this statement remain as a dream? Can we possibly venture to find concrete solutions to make this dream a reality? Who shall start? Are we ready for the consequences of the criticism both from private and public sectors? Are we ready for the consequential effects of this dream? Will we sustain to achieve our dreams for the Philippine Economic Development?

All the answers to these questions I leave it to you. Let us take these questions seriously or else who would bother?

In this initial stage of us, aspiring a to contribute the best effort for our country, I would conclude that the Philippine Economic Development is promising for all of you starts to think of what we can do to augment all our economic setbacks for the past decades. This is our individual moral responsibility as Filipino citizens.

Let us together bloom where God has planted us and to be fruitful in administering the land entrusted to us. Let us together solve the Philippine Puzzle in the shortest time possible for the greater good of every Filipino citizen. In this effort, may we truly live up in protecting the natural and spiritual treasures of our country “The Pearl of the Orient Seas.”
