Reaction about the level of scarcity experienced by the Philippines today?

Question

editorial style

Answer 1

As you can see from this article, the Philippines face many challenges to overcome years of government corruption that has all but thrown the people of that country to the wolves. Although the people of the Philippines are a hard-working people, their third-world status, long military instability and a disaterous policy allowing pollution to ruin many of the country's pristine coasts will be a challenge to say the least. There is help from the US, but I am afraid that there must bw more changes and they must happen immediately. Sadly, I doubt that that is what will happen.

This is an excerpt from the website below:

"In addition to the above program, USAID will support implementation of numerous centrally-funded programs. These include, among others, programs in microfinance; anti-corruption and financial sector strengthening programs under the Asia and Near East Bureau's Accelerated Economic Recovery in Asia program; exploration of renewable energy alternatives; and grants to U.S. nongovernmental organizations for activities that complement the Mission's strategic thrusts. Until recently, the Office of Transition Initiatives implemented the Support with Implementing Fast Transition program for ex-combatants in Mindanao. USAID will provide logistical and administrative support for its Mongolia and Japan offices and for the regional offices of the Inspector General, the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, and the U.S.-Asia Environmental Partnership. In addition, USAID will provide legal support services to USAID programs in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Mongolia and Japan."
