Despite that the wave of industrial development that has 【M1】______
swept much of East Asia in recent decades, the country of 80
million remains extremely poor, mismanaged and still’ was 【M2】______
predominant agrarian. But the Philippines docs play a visible 【M3】______
role in the global economy, thanks largely to a single export
commodity—its people. According to the government, I mil
lion Philippines will go abroad as contract workers this year, 【M4】______
the biggest exodus ever. "The Philippines has already sur
passed Mexico as the largest source of migrant labor in the
word," says Manolo I. Abella, a migration specialist at the
International Labour Office in Geneva. In all, about 8 mil
lion Filipinos—an astounded one tenth of the country’s 【M5】______
citizens—currently work overseas to support families back home.
They remit more than $ 7 billion annually, according to the
government, and that’s only’ official transfers. A recent Asian 【M6】______
Development Bank report put the real figure in the $ 14
billion to $ 21 billion range a sum that dwarfs both foreign direct
investment and aid flowing into the country, and amounts
3 2 percent of GNP. In the past, the Philippines 【M7】______
is shamed by its inability to create enough good jobs to keep 【M8】______
its people at home. But hard economic reality—a 14 percent
unemployment rate and one of the highest poverty indexes in
the world ( nearly half the population subsists on less than $ 2
a day)—has shifted the sentiment. Today, in a move that
countries like Indonesia and Bangladesh are likely to emulate
itself, the government takes the position that, like it or not, 【M9】______
the overseas workers constitute nation’s biggest comparative
advantage in an increasingly borderless world. And so Manila
makes it easy for its citizens to immigrate, and works hard, 【M10】______
through its embassies, to see that their rights as foreign workers
are protected.
