7. Philippines 1965-1986:The
Economic Situation
By the great year of 1965, Marcos triumph in
the presidential election, running as the
nominee of the Nacionalista Party in a bi-party
electoral system. A few months earlier, he had
been president of the opposing Liberal Party.
Upon acquiring the domination in the
Philippine governmental seat, he employed
political whereabouts and rent reassignments
to an unparalleled scale to merge
bureaucratic, military, and “cream of the crop”
political support, and was able to wane the
judicial branch by means of reappointment
8. I. The Economic Acceleration
With the desire of the administration to accelerate
economic growth and development, President
Marcos executed a numerous of economic agenda
and goals. These programs assisted the country to
take pleasure in the interlude of economic
expansion from the mid-1970s until the near the
beginning of 1980s. In the fields of agriculture, the
farmers were given technological and monetary
support and other inducements such as "price
support". With the incentives agreed to the
farmers, the country's farming sector nurtured &
grew. Consequently, the country became self-
reliant in rice by the year 1976 and even became
one of top exporters of rice. The economy during
the decade was robust, with budgetary and trade
surpluses. The Gross National Product rose from
P55 billion in 1972 to P193 billion in 1980.
9. II. The Tourism Rate
The Gross National Product increased from
P55 billion in 1972 to P193 billion in
1980.Tourism rose causative to the
economy's escalation. The number of
tourists visiting the Philippine rose to one
million by 1980 from less than 200,000 in
preceding years. The country
earned 26 billion pesos. A large fraction
of the tourist group consists of Filipino
balikbayans (returnees) under the Ministry of
Tourism's Balikbayan Program which was
launched in 1973.
10. III. The International Remittances of
Overseas Filipino Workers
Another chief resource of economic growth
of the country was the transfer of funds
of abroad Filipino workers. Thousands of
Filipino workers found employment in the
Middle East, Singapore and Hong Kong.
These overseas Filipino workers not only
helped relieve the country's joblessness
crisis but also produced much-needed
foreign exchange for the Philippines. A big
share of the annual earning of the country
was owed to the payment of twelve-
monthly in gain on loans.
