Talk:Economic history of the Philippines

Factual inaccuracies

The GDP figure cited is too low; the figure might be in billions of pesos. Randytuano (talk) 12:06, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Merger proposal

Many countries have articles on Wikipedia on their entire economic history. We have plenty of information here that deals with the economic history of the Philippines as a whole, and I was thus thinking it would be best if we merge this all into a single article so that the Philippines can be added to the list of countries which have their own 'Economic history of' articles. ætərnal ðrAعon 04:17, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Tagged original research section: Harmony of Deep Determinants

This section advances an argument and presents a point of view – whatever that is.

Without going through sentence by sentence, notice the regular use of deontic expressions like "should", "has to", "needs to", "must". For example: "institutions really have to start looking for more productive uses of population". This promotes a particular course of political action, and presents opinion as fact.

Another sign is the rhetorical question: "how is the Philippines actually doing when it comes to these determinants?". This advances an argument.

There are also normative judgements, such as: "Belief in the spirit of creative entrepreneurship and the devotion of policymakers to the people and stakeholders that they govern are at least equally, if not more important, for poverty alleviation [...]" This presents an opinion as fact.

There is also no source given for the central idea of "deep determinants".

This section needs rewriting, referring to primary sources where these points are made.

Relevant policies include WP:NOR, WP:NPOV

First Philippine Republic (1899–1901) section

I'm no economist but, following on [BRD discussion re insertion by user Wowanegg10 this] comment I made elsewhere about material in this section, I've edited it. The following is an explanation of my edit.

• The section's initial sentence read, "The economy of the Philippines during the insurgency of the First Philippine Republic remained the same throughout its early years but was halted due to the break out of the Philippine–American War. " I changed the word years there to months. The First Philippine Republic was promulgated on June 12, 1898. According to the PhilAm War article, the war began on February 4, 1899, the date that general hostilities began. An argument could be made that June 2, 1899, the date the Philippine Republic declared war on the U.S. is the proper start date, but this is not the place to make that argument.
• I was unable to verify a couple of assertions in the supporting source cited, and I have tagged them {{failed verification}}.
• I've reformatted the second cite.
