the matrix below.

Attributes Salient point

Distinct specializations
Infrastructure
Human capital innovation
Specialization is a method of
productions whereby an entity
focuses on the production of a
limited scope of goods to gain a
greater degree efficiency. Many
countries, for example,
specialize in producing the
goods and services that are
native to their part of the world,
and they trade them for other
goods and services.
Both international trade and
infrastructure make it easier for
people to exchange goods and
services and to increase income
by allowing specialization,
economies of scale, variety, etc.
Infrastructure is a vital
ingredient to economic growth
and development, which is the
key to raising living standards.
Human capital strengthens the
capacity of a firm to absorb and
develop new knowledge and as
 such it is an essential part of
both frontier and catch-up
innovation.
Capital investment Capital investment is considered
to be a very important measure
of the health of economy.

Reasons why opted to work as an OFW The reason why I opted to work as an OFW is
that for financial needs of our family. My
husband and I are separated that’s why I need to
work and get an income that is suitable for our
needs, especially the needs of my children. I
decide to work as an OFW although it is hard to
be tear apart from my family because for me it is
a great opportunity to get higher income from
other country than my own nation.
Challenges encountered as an OFW Being an OFW is really hard. You need to work
really hard and you don’t have a time to take care
of your own. When you are an OFW your health
didn’t matter anymore.

VIII. SELF EVALUATION:

Why Philippines and Thailand were considered
“tiger cub economies” in the 1990s?
What is an industrialized country?
Differentiate unemployment and
underemployment?
The Philippine and Thailand economy is often
called a “tiger cub economy” because it has
followed the same export developmental model
as “tiger economies”. Both Philippines and
Thailand follow the same export driven model of
technology and economic development already
achieved by the rich, high tech, industrialized,
and developed countries.
An industrialized country is also known as a
developed country. It has a mature and
sophisticated economy, usually measured by
gross domestic product (GDP) and/or average
income per resident. Developed countries have
advanced technological infrastructure and have
diverse industrial and service sectors.
Unemployment is when person actively looking
for a job but experience an extended period
without getting hired. However, underemployed
employees may work several jobs to make
enough money for their living expenses.
X. POST-TEST: Answer the following questions.

1. How does the population boom affect the country’s transportation systems and housing markets?

Population boom leads to a changing demand for housing and will lead greater pressure on public
transport infrastructure. Population growth, and particularly the growth in number of households, leads
to a growth in the number of house hold, leads to a growth of housing demands. In behalf of
transportation, residents of big cities will expect public transport that is past, efficient, affordable, safe
and environmentally friendly. Population growth increases density and together with rural-urban
migration, creates higher urban agglomeration.

2. What attributes of a global city does Metro Manila reflect?

The Metro Manila has become an emerging global city. In almost every corner of the city, there are new
structures on the rise as it gradually transforms into a hyperactive mega city. High-end Casinos and first -
