34;As part of an integrated and comprehensive development program for the Philippines - regional development will be undertaken to reduce income disparities in the various regions of the country." Under these circumstances, perhaps the criterion must be the growth potential of employment. From this point of view, a policy of decentralization in The Philippines (or in other countries with similar conditions) does not rely solely on infrastructure programs to offset the competitiveness of the metropolitan area.
This would require an even more complicated formula than in the case of the unemployment-underemployment calculations, and it is not. This is based on the key points in this report, but is subject to the findings of the more detailed studies I have listed.

Not surprisingly, this type of attitude quickly backfires and it is the turn of the "planners" and administrators to be scorned and blamed. The political culture of the Philippines has been described by someone who is, after all, in the excellent position of knowing it as "<". in general, the answer to this question is much more often yes.

Among the three guidelines, labor intensity was the most difficult to implement, especially in the manufacturing sector, where technology is more capital-oriented than labor-oriented. However, national planners have recognized the seriousness of this problem by making a conscious effort in the government sector, including the Board of Investment, to create more labour-intensive jobs in the manufacturing sector as well.

The Green Revolution project of the First Lady has led to the overwhelming production of vegetables and food. The inner zone of the Manila Bay area, which used to be a food importing region, is beginning to find itself self-sufficient in such goods. Many areas now planted for agriculture in the Manila Bay region are potentially valuable urban lands.

The following discussion will touch on projects discussed in the plan as well as in the publications of.
The only airport project in Manila Bay is the reconstruction of Manila International Airport. The Manila Bay metro region has the country's largest lake, the Laguna de Bay, and parts of two of the country's eight major watersheds, namely the Agno and Pampanga Rivers in Central Luzon. Below is an overview of projects in the Manila Bay region that have been found to be economically viable.

The transfer of the administrative center may shift some of the concentration of employment along with associated problems such as traffic congestion, slums, pollution, from the older metropolis to the capital city. A comprehensive plan for the capital city and the Bay Area should anticipate such problems and incorporate their solutions into the plan. The national housing program included in the Four-Year Development Plan 1972-75 envisages the provision of housing for 117,000 families during the planning period.
The lack of a national housing land policy that will set guidelines for securing housing land in the future is very evident. Past experiences or relocation of housing residents has not been successful due to the following: (a) lack of water and sanitation facilities; (b) - lack of an employment base for displaced residents and (c) lack of free transit for displaced residents to travel to their workplaces. However, such measures may not be advisable as they may be misused as primary mortgage markets have been in the past, to the detriment of the most needy sectors of the social structure.
In the second phase, the satellite cities are planned to absorb the growing population and increasing number of industries. Industries are being planned in these areas to provide employment for the portion of the exploding urban population that is expected to reach 20 million by the year 2000 in the Manila Bay region. They deal with the interactions of different forms of activity in the country as a whole.
Education planning in the Philippines is general, as it should be for very small countries, to allow for flexibility in the huge range of jobs to be performed.
Finaltclul
To thwart the implementation of the various development programs, the Administration is very dependent on expertise available in this country and, to a lesser extent, on whatever talents can be borrowed or hired by international agencies and private technological entities abroad. become The establishment of the National Economic Development Authority this year should give impetus to intensified development efforts. The sooner the NEDA and the RDS come into full operation and fully contain the myriad economic problems led by unemployment and regional disparities in income and wealth that follow the New Society, the faster national goals will be achieved.

The issues discussed at the seminar revolved around strengthening the Institute's academic programme, reviewing its ever-increasing research commitments and evaluating its training seminars. A review of the Institute's research program showed that it is carrying out more and more research projects. Based on the participants' observations about the nature and scope of the seminars conducted by the Institute, it was decided to continue the Institute's training program, which consists of a six-week traveling seminar and two three-month seminars, with a greater emphasis on the three-month seminars.
It is the first study of its kind to be conducted and will serve as a basis for the formulation of a long-term development plan for the improvement of the tourism industry at regional and national level. Focusing on selected regions of the country, the project will determine each region's "tourist potential" through a careful analysis of the area's activities, physical features and natural conditions. An Executive Advisory Committee was formed for the purposes of the project, consisting of the Dean of IPUP, the UNOP Project Manager and Commissioner Araneta.
