PALAWAN BOHOL

ZAMBOANGA CITY

1. PALAWAN
 The effects of globalization in Palawan are applauded by some and criticized by others.
Positive voices are raised by those who see that international tourism growth brings large
numbers of tourists and travelers to a destination and, as an effect, can create employment
opportunities and increase revenues for many local stakeholders. Growth in arrivals can result in
income growth and economic welfare, which is often seen as one of the important reasons for
destination development, for example by local governments and private sector organizations.

2. ZAMBOANGA
Zamboanga City is one of the oldest cities in the Philippines, with a rich history and
distinct culture. It is the third largest city in the country in terms of land area, and sixth in terms of
population. The city is also a center of economic activities in Mindanao, with a modern seaport
and airport that serve as the gateway of goods to the region. It also serves as the tourism hub of
Western Mindanao, and is dubbed the sardine capital of the Philippines.

3. BOHOL
Globalization in Bohol enabled greater access to technological advancements in
agriculture, including high yield varieties, genetically modified crops (GM crops) and micro-
irrigation techniques. Foreign investment in agriculture in contract farming, cold storage and food
processing have helped farmers. Access to foreign markets has greatly boosted Indian
agricultural exports. Multi- National Companies (MNCs) captured the Indian markets making
farmers dependent on the expensive high yield seeds and fertilizers. Attraction of global market
resulted in farmers shifting from traditional or mixed cropping to unsustainable cropping practices.
The competition from cheaper imports pushed down the prices of crops like cotton, wheat etc.
making agriculture unsustainable for many farmers.
