22. By Doctor Umali
• The task of helping the rural poor, while difficult,
is achievable
• He cited the success stories of Japan, Korea,
and Taiwan in field of rural development
• By improving the structure of institutions,
fashioning appropriate development strategies
and better use of resources, such countries
were able to transform their rural areas form
Poverty to Prosperity

program in the Philippines started in the
