                    [Summary] => Although there has been agenda planning at other times in the past to make something intelligible of our legislation, Thursday’s conference/workshop was different. Workshop discussions among the congressmen/women, government officials, NGOs were made against the background of the United Nations’ Common Country Assessment (CCA).

                    [Summary] => Undoubtedly, the biggest problem all Filipinos will have to confront is our acknowledged fiscal crisis. The best attitude for every individual is to have the hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. One thing is certain, it is a problem that will be with us for a long, long, time. Our foreign debt is P2.35 trillion. Our domestic debt is even higher – P2.48 trillion. We have a debt service of P270 billion and a tax collection of only P 343.3 billion. Our budget deficit is P80.1 billion.
