this paper is an essay on why the Marcos regime was not a developmental state, and gives a measure of historical detail.  BUT THE SAME LOGIC CAN APPLY TO THE CORY AQUINO government, which purported to be a progressive, inclusivist democratic intervention against the dictatorship. One can ask why Cory refused, even with expert opinion of the UP School of Economics, in the person of her own NEDA Secretary to reform Hacienda Luisita.

Recently, social scientists have again resurrected the specter of continued, if not worsening, prospects of poverty in the Philippines, in spite of projected growth of the economy. Their contention is that demographic growth will serve as stumbling block to Philippine development. Students of Economic Planning, let me hear your views on the matter.
