Governance "The Philippines has weathered the initial global shocks of the world economic crisis quite well because of the painful reform medicine we took several years ago. We took our economic medicine through fundamental economic reform by raising taxes, cutting down on smuggling, reforming our tax collection system and our banking laws and regulations. Our reform moves paid off with revenue for investments in human and physical infrastructure and an economic performance that has seen 36 consecutive quarters of growth over the last eight years, including 8.0 percent GNP growth in 2007 and 6.0 percent GNP growth in 2008." "In parallel, we are also focused on further raising revenues through improvements in tax administration and a public-private sector fund to support the initiatives in the resiliency plan." "We are doing all these to take care of our people during the difficult times with the whole world, but also to ensure that you, the Korean investors invest in the Philippines."
