Blog#1: Why the Philippine can't develop? (Yoshihiko)

  Countries in the northeast in Asia have developed since WW2. For example, Japan China Korea Taiwan.  However although the Philippines is near Northeast Asia, it didn't develop. Why its country can't develop unlike the other Northeast country. I think as follows.

  It is important for developing country to having a lot of goods for export.
From economic view point, Philippine is One of the most poverty country in ASEAN.
And Philippine has no goods for export except for sugar now. Why?

  Becouse There is no environment for glowing industry in the Philippine.
One of the most crucial problem in the Philippine is that the most of excellent student escapes to a foreign country for earning money. However the excellent student is important for the Philippine in order to grow up industry.

  That’s why Philippine government must glow and support for all of student more and more. Specially science education is very important. The country having no resources such as Singapore, Korea and Taiwan and so on... grew up the economic power by exporting an industrial commodity.

Fortunately, the most of People in the Philippine can speak and read English. This fact is big advantage for the Philippine compared with the other ASEAN country. That’s why the most of famous book in the world is written in English.
