[edit] Attention
I reckon that its about time this page be as updated as the other articles of the other countries. Its already 2005, and the 2004 numbers of the economic indicators are already out. I would want to update them myself, but there is just too many. Alot of the details in the article are also out of date, help anyone???
I was hoping that we can reorganize with ff. sections:
- Background,
- Agriculture and Fishing,
- Commerce,
- Communication,
- Currency,
- Energy,
- Forestry,
- Labor
- Manufacturing,
- Mining,
- Transportation
Statistics already embedded in each section, uhm help?!?
Somebody with the information should add
- Outsourcing
Italic text==Comment== I think you put the wrong caption about the rice paddies. The Philippines is a rice importer. It imports rice from Vietnam. Yes, it used to be our biggest agricultural export but now, we don't have enough rice output to meet domestic demand. If I'm not mistaken, coconut products are the largest agricultural exports. Please check the National Statistical Coordination Board website at http://www.nscb.gov.ph
I suggest that you add a section for Tourism because it is making progress due to the agressive marketing campaign of the Department of Tourism. You may want to put photos of the majestic tourist destinations in the country.
The country actually has enough supply of rice for the year 2006. They are only importing to beef up their rice stocks in case of unusual weather phenomenon such as the El Nino.
below the poverty line- the latest data of poverty line is 26% way year 2003. should you guys have datas for 2006 or at least 2005?
