Setting the tone

Article Abstract:

Philippines President Fidel Ramos has used the telecommunications industry as a centerpiece of his economic liberalization policy. Ramos signed a 1993 executive order which effectively opened up the Philippine telecommunications industry to competition by ordering Philippine Long Distance Telephone to interconnect with other systems. Deregulation has brought new players into the market and today intense competition has dramatically reduced prices and improved service for urban customers.

Cleared for takeoff

Article Abstract:

Industrial parks and special development zones in the Philippines are enjoying remarkable success thanks to improved infrastructure, general economic growth, and the soaring yen. Subic Bay and the Clark Free Port Zone are both former US military bases successfully converting into free ports and industrial areas. The Cavite and Laguna provinces are doing equally well and are now drawing high-tech businesses from Japan and the US, as are the rest of the country's 36 industrial estates.
