services under both the Marcos and Aquino

Part II
In the late 1980s and early 1990s,
the Philippines faced economic
challenges, falling short of its
growth targets due to issues with

conflicts, and international
creditor relations. The government
had a history of encouraging
investment, but policies faced
criticism and revisions.
