baliTANG INA # 44: Philippines now ‘Second World,’ says Arroyo
Dear Lindsay,
I'm shaking my head here.
"The economy is showing strong signs of health, not only because of the stock market or the strong peso, but on the fact that at last our people will be enjoying a per capita income of $1,400 dollars this year," Arroyo said.
"Right now, we're not Third World anymore. At 1,400 dollars we are now Second world, a middle class country, and we'll be able to achieve, if we are able to continue the trajectory of (a) one percent decline in the poverty level, we can reach hopefully the First World status by the year 2020," she said.
