Foreign and Economic Policies of the Philippines

The Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016 adopts a framework of inclusive growth, which is
high growth that is sustained, generates mass employment, and reduces poverty. With good governance
and anti-corruption as the overarching theme of each and every intervention, the Plan translates into
specific goals, objectives, strategies, programs, and projects all the things that we want to accomplish in
the medium term.

Through this Plan, we intend to pursue rapid and sustainable economic growth and
development, improve the quality of life of the Filipino, empower the poor and marginalized and
enhance our social cohesion as a nation. Our strategic development policy framework thus focuses on
improving transparency and accountability in governance, strengthening the macro-economy, boosting
the competitiveness of our industries, facilitating infrastructure development, strengthening the
financial sector and capital mobilization, improving access to quality social services, enhancing peace
and security for development, and ensuring ecological integrity.

The Philippine Development Plan will serve as our guide in formulating policies and
implementing development programs for the next six years. It enables us to work systematically to give
the Filipino people a better chance of finally finding their way out of poverty, inequality, and the poor
state of human development.

• How is each type of question helpful in your learning?

Each type of question aided me in furthering my understanding of the text I had

read. Not only did it provide me with a more meaningful perspective, but it also inspired
me to imagine other scenarios or instances, which resulted in a more concrete
fundamental knowledge.

• When might this activity be most useful for you?

I believe that this activity will be very useful in everyday life, particularly in
situations where I am to create questions. This is due to the fact that it has provided me
with an in-depth knowledge of how to fully grasp or reflect a knowledge. Furthermore,
this activity assisted me in broadening my thinking skills and improving my cognitive
abilities.
