A Good Economy Is Essential To One Country For It To Be Able To Grow And To Provide The Needs Of Its People.docx

Acacetus “To be dependent or not, that is the question” A good economy is essential to one country for it to be able to grow and to provide the needs of its people. Acacetus is what we name our paper because it is what Hermes, the Greek god, was named for his eloquence. This paper is intended to persuade and focus on how can industrialization change the Philippine economy as well as providing insights of how can we improve our country if the government will focus on developing our local industry instead of the foreign ones.

During the administration of Ninoy Aquino, I have seen and heard a lot of news about how many Filipino’s are becoming more and more jobless as the year constantly goes by and now with the current administration of Duterte that take-over, there was no news about it anymore for it is a problem that they think is not news worthy because of all the negative reports about it. According to the Philippine Star Global, on March 2018, the government find its solution for the Philippines to catch up with our industrialized neighbor country and that is to seek help with China and by seeking help means that all the Chinese companies will relocate their manufacturing operations in the Philippines. As stated by the Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez in the article “We should continue to strengthen our trade and investment cooperation with China, especially now that China is already moving towards a services-oriented economy and as its manufacturing investments shift to other countries.” I personally think that we should not depend on China alone but develop our own manufacturing companies instead to be

able to reach the industrialized country our government was intending to do. Let me tell you that I agree with our country being industrialized and seeking help is also a good thing but we need to know that we should always need to look back and analyze the problem first and not indecisively look for an alternative to address it for a short-term availability only. Yes, you might think that with these companies opening, people will have a job and that will lessen the poverty but have our government ever think of allocating funds for Philippine based companies first and trust them to better serve the country than these foreign companies do? We think that the Philippine Government should also focus on the agricultural sector so that we could be able to process finished products for our country and by not buying imported goods. As it was stated in the Aquino administration the agricultural sector has fallen to its smallest share in the national economy. We can say that agriculture has a big part to the Philippine economy so we should help the farmers by help them to have their own land so that we can ensure that there is productivity in terms of Agriculture. First thing that our Government should do is to provide tranings and seminars for every farmer because some are lack of basic skills in farming. Second the goverment should also developed a good infrastructure for farmers like irrigation system, farm to market roads, drying facilities, milling centers and among others. Third is the government should take impart of the middlemen who is continuesly taking advantage of the farmers that they are the

Acacetus “To be dependent or not, that is the question” ones who dictates the price of the product at a very low price instead of the farmers. Lastly the government should benefit them by giving them an aid if there is calamity because as we can see most of the farmers were not able to have an aid after the calamity but instead they give it to the people that were on the top they did not distribute it well and the worst is most in the goverment are taking the funds that is for the farmers to help them in decreasing the damage in their crops.
