II. Discussion
Philippine Economic Landscape in the Present Time
- The Philippine economic landscape remains to be the spring board of questions
when economic development is the focus of discussion. The leaders of this nation,
aim greatness for the Filipino people especially during the time of election.
- Politics becomes an investment for power and money and it is not the true essence
of public service. Two important factors hinder our growth as a nation:
1. Poverty is the making of its people and the kind of leaders that holds the
wheels of economic fortune.
2. Population explosion is another factor that contributes to the poverty of our
nation.
a. Republic Act 6977, known as the Magna Carta for Small Enterprises provided
the necessary funds for the development of entrepreneurs in the countryside.
b. Republic Act No. 6810 is the establishing the Magna Carta for Countryside and
Barangay Business Enterprises, granting exemptions from any and all government
rules and regulations and other incentives and benefits and for other purposes.
Characteristics of an Entrepreneur
Entrepreneurial Studies
- The entrepreneur must see for himself the kind of management control and how the
business will be able to generate his projected profitable investment. He sees the
wide open market of opportunities and the possible problems before he plunges into
the intricate operation of the enterprise.
- Wise investment through a careful analysis of the business environment would
minimize business failures.
