The Philippines can become a powerhouse if these can be achieved: 1. Eliminate corruption in all levels of government and private businesses 2. Self-sufficiency and food security 3. Abundant yet cheap power supply (renewables and nuclear) Not an easy task, impossible to some even. But is it doable? I know it is.

[@Darklight0028]

Its possible. But its got a load of reforms to go before achieving this! The politicians will need to transform the country

[@rickyboy6390]

Instead of saying this in the comment why not say that to our country then after that you will only get mock because of some crab mentality also there's a possible chance of Philippines becoming rich is if the government makes great uses of our natural resources like deposits of oil steel iron and gold

[@romeobarnuevo5376]

[@JonJon-wc6pj]

#1 not gonna happen. Unless people will elect a new breed of politicians who are not affiliated with any of those corrupt family of politicians and enforce a reform, legal system needs a reform, non-elected government officials needs a reform, prosecution needs a reform.

[@marcobueno8050]

That's a good move.. instead of exporting raw materials to china, we better process it for domestic use..usually raw materials are sold cheaply to china and China sell finish product to the Philippines at a hefty price that's why china benefits a lot from our resources especially mineral resources .

[@jkcabs4569]

When NSC was around, Iligan City was among the richest cities in the Philippines earning its nickname as the Industrial City in the South. Also, the company abandoned their plant in Iligan, despite being operational to other places... It ruined the economy prowess of Iligan, and a lot of employees were affected. An economic plan was also established which is the Iligan - Cagayan de Oro economic corridor, where in companies' plantation will be built along Iligan-CDO road, but the plan failed and we did not see its potential.. I hope Region X will revived the existing economic plans in the region as Metro CDO will push push through in 2025 and plans for Metro Iligan development is slowly being proposed too... Also, among all Regions in Mindanao, only region x northern mindanao have two city that are classified as Highly Urbanized City (Iligan and Cagayan de Oro)...

It seems financing privately by companies seem more flexible than by government owned steel. In addition, Corruption is also rampant in the government. Bribery is part of the culture as we see public officials and department staff’s involvement in the POGO.

[@jimueltrinio225]

Mahirap na negosyo yan dahil ang Chinese steel industry ay over capacity at benebenta nila ang kanilang steel sa murang halaga para malugi ang kanilang ka kumpetensya, kaya yon U.S. at ibang bansa ay binibigyan ng malaking tarifa [tariff] ang mga Chinese steel at ibang products na galing China. Kailangan matigil din ang pag smuggle ng mga Chinese products.

The Philippines should have more steel mills as well as processing plants for nickel, copper, silver, gold and other minerals. The Philippines should also explore for rare earth minerals and process them. The Philippines is the 5th most mineralized country in the world and should leverage this to its advantage.

[@alma09876]

​@@user-rj7bt9vp5m ​You were ignorant than anyone on earth! From Macapagal to Marcos, the Philippine economy was in transition because of 1946 era Bell Trade Act and the American PARITY RIGHTS! The end of this free trade agreement with the US had affected the Philippine economy. Don't blame Marcos on the end of this Free Trade Law because it was the US which signified in late 1960s the non-renewal of the FTA. As the American previously controlled the Philippine economy until 1974, Marcos tried to rebuild and planned the industrialization of the economy, transitioning from 60% agriculture based until 1960s!

Wala nmang kinalaman si PBBM jan, tagal na niyang Steel Asia. Mas nagiging aggressive lng sila ngaun sa pag expand nila kaya naririnig sila ngaun. Maganda para sa ekonomiya natin, mababawasan steel importation natin at dagdag sa pag lagu ng ekonomiya natin.
