11-HUMMS BONIFACIO
The imposition of martial law has helped to reaffirm the primacy of the
multinational corporation in Philippine economic affairs. As a student of
martial law, you may want to learn more about the MNCs and local
corporate giants that dominate and control the Philippine economy and
polity. Several research aides exist for monitoring the economic sector.
Business Day, a daily newspaper devoted to coverage of Philippine
business activities (see below), irregularly publishes a data book on the top
corporations operating in the Philippines. The series first appeared in 1968
and included statistics on the top 200 corporations for the year 1967. The
next report appeared in 1970 and included data on the 1000 top firms
operating in 1968. Subsequent Business Day's 1000 Top Corporations
reports have appeared in March 1971 (covering data on 1969 firms), and on
November 15, 1971 (which included 1970 business data). In addition,
several recent pre-martial law bibliographies on business and economic
activities exist that may provide you with further research leads. Erlinda S.
Morco has compiled a comprehensive bibliography on Philippine Business
Literature (Division of Business Research, College of Business
Administration, University of the Philippines/Diliman, 1971, 427p.) and
Belen Angeles and Rachel Cabato have put together A Bibliography of -6
Periodicals and Statistical Sources on the Philippine Economy (Institute of
Economic Development and Research, School of Economics, University of
the Philippines/Diliman, 1970, 65p., xiiip).
