Fef hails cabinet's decision not to extend quantitative restrictions on rice ...FEF Philippines
FEF hails the Cabinet’s decision not to seek an extension of the quantitative restrictions on rice, as announced by Socio-Economic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia.
We, the Foundation for Economic Freedom, an organization dedicated to market-friendly reforms, good governance, and economic and political liberty, call on the incoming Duterte administration to break from the present policy of protecting the rice importation monopoly of the National Food Authority (NFA). We urge instead to liberalize rice importation to realize the new administration’s promise of affordable food for the poor.
We, the Foundation for Economic Freedom, support moves in the House and the Senate to lower personal individual tax rates, to adjust tax brackets, and to slowly align corporate tax rates with the rest of ASEAN.
Inflation has pushed up the majority of fixed income earners to the highest tax brackets. The country has the highest individual tax and corporate tax rates in the region, thus, in the interest of fairness, equity, and competitiveness, new tax rates need to be legislated.
FEF also supports moves for government to look into compensatory revenue-raising measures that are progressive and simple to administer.
Presentation of FEF President Calixto Chikiamco during the #PHVote: The Leader I Want Forum Series: Aquino’s Last Mile: Ramping Up and Sustaining Daang Matuwid, held on August 3, 2015 at the
SGV Hall 3/F AIM Conference Center, Makati City
FEF Statement on the Extension of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform ProgramFEF Philippines
We, the Foundation for Economic Freedom, are opposed to the extension of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP).
We fully agree with the scientific findings of Dr. Raul Fabella, National Scientist for Economic Science, that CARP has only created a class of landed poor and has failed to increase agricultural productivity. We believe that extending CARP will only increase uncertainty over property rights over agricultural land and deter investments in agriculture.

FEF Opposes the Increase in Solar Installation Capacity Under the FIT SubsidyFEF Philippines
We, the Foundation for Economic Freedom, firmly oppose the plan of the Department of Energy (DOE) to increase the installation target for solar energy from 50 Megawatts to 500 Megawatts (MW) under the Feed-in-Tariff Subsidy of PHP 9.80 per KWh on the pretext that the country has to build energy reserves in the summer months of 2015 and 2016.

An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

2. Current Scenario
The greatest challenge that the
Philippines faces is the threat to its
territorial integrity and national
sovereignty from China
3. The Need for
Constitutional Reform
Removing the economic restrictions
answers the President's concern about
national security
WHY?
4. FDIs and Foreign Support for the
Philippines
• The Philippines has the lowest FDI in Asean.
• Low FDIs mean that the economic interest of
foreign countries in helping the Philippines
maintain its territorial integrity and maritime
security is low.
• We need to abolish the foreign ownership
restrictions in the Constitution and increase FDIs
to increase the willingness of foreign countries to
help us defend our territorial integrity and
maritime security against China.
5. Modernization of strategic
infrastructure
• Strengthening and operation of vital
infrastructure is a national security concern
• Removing restrictions will allow well-
capitalized investors to invest and help
modernize strategic infrastructures
e.g., telecoms, airports, seaports, shipping, etc
.
• The speed of our response during and after
Super Typhoon Yolanda shows the inferiority
of our communications and logistics
6. Transpacific Partnership
• We need to join the TPP lest we get left behind.
Vietnam and Malaysia have already joined
• TPP is a US-led trade initiative and is the linchpin
of the US re-pivot toward Asia. Not joining TPP is
saying we don’t need the US in defending threats
to our territorial integrity against China.
• To become a full member of the TPP we have to
ensure equality of treatment for both foreign and
local investors, which means we need to remove
the Constitutional restrictions on foreign
ownership.
7. Adverse Selection
• Restrictions encourage foreign investors to use
dummies or creative legal maneuvers to
circumvent the Constitution
• We are at risk of having triads, mafias and agents
of unfriendly countries into our country especially
when institutions remain corruptible
• We can’t attract world-class foreign companies
from countries with rules against bribery and
unethical practices to set up shop in the
Philippines if restrictions remain in place.
8. Bangsamoro Peace Agreement
• Removing foreign ownership restrictions will
help foreign capital flow into the Bangsamoro
region to help achieve economic prosperity
under autonomy.
• Achieving internal peace and security will help
unify the country against external threats to
its national security.
9. Conclusion
Strengthen national security by passing the
Belmonte resolution to amend the Constitution
by inserting the phrase “unless provide by law”
into the foreign ownership restrictions in the
economic provisions in the Constitution and
subsequently liberalize the provisions by
legislation.
