FOR
THE
PHILIPPINES
Filipinos are strongly rooted: matatag. Filipino families live together; there is
work-life balance so that there is time to spend with family even for members who
work. On weekends, families and friends enjoy time together in parks and
recreational centers. It is a high-trust society with a strong sense of community.
There are volunteer opportunities, and Filipinos spend time to serve the community,
help others who are in need, and contribute to various causes.
Filipinos are comfortable: maginhawa. No one is poor, no one is ever hungry.
Filipino families live in comfortable homes with the desired amenities and secure
tenure. Families and friends are within reach because transport is convenient and
affordable, and they can take a vacation together within the country and abroad.
Children receive quality education so that they realize their full potentials and
become productive members of society. Decent jobs that bring sustainable income
are available, including opportunities for entrepreneurship.
Filipinos are secure: panatag. Filipinos feel secure over their entire lifetime.
They expect to live long and enjoy a comfortable life upon retirement. There are
resources to cover unexpected expenses, and there are savings. They feel safe in all
places in the country. Filipinos trust their government because it is free of
corruption and provides service to all its citizens equally.

Government must also ensure that economic growth is broad-based across sectors
and regions; it must result in a more equal income distribution. Moreover, there
should be aggressive interventions to increase opportunities for the poor to
participate in the growth process even as they are protected against the negative
impact of economic and political instabilities, natural and man-made calamities.
Poverty must be eradicated by 2040, if not earlier.
It must also be recognized that certain individuals cannot immediately participate in
the growth process. For infants and children, there is the requisite care, guidance,
health and education services until they become mature enough. It is important that
parents and families are able to provide these, although government should stand
ready to fill the gap. A major intervention, therefore, is for parents to adequately
prepare for having a family.
More than ensuring that Filipino students acquire the foundational literacies
(reading, numeracy, scientific literacy, ICT literacy, economic and financial literacy,
cultural and civic literacy), the formal education system must also ensure that
students obtain competencies (critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity,
communication, collaboration) and develop character qualities (curiosity, initiative,
persistence and grit, adaptability, leadership, social and cultural awareness)2 . This
may require a revision of the curriculum content, but more importantly, the mode of
delivery. At the same time, there must be access to lifelong learning opportunities
so that competencies are continuously upgraded and updated.
