Abstract: The study aims to determine if foreign assistance spent on transport infrastructure in the National Capital Region generate economic growth to the country. It was inferred that it could solve economic problems and lead to growth but it can also create problem because of complications brought by conditions and additional debt. The study looked at the project's background, agreements, and the relationships between NCR's Gross Domestic Product and Foreign Borrowing. It was proven correct that foreign assistance spent on transport infrastructure generates growth, however, projects continue to increase and agreements appear to control the country. These variables affect the country's well and full use of the funds. It is thus, only an immediate economic growth but creates debt problem in the long-term.

Abstract: The Philippine economy is still suffering from an economic slump. Due to high budget deficit and devaluation of the peso, more and more Filipinos are unemployed and living in poverty. To combat such dilemma, the Central Bank of the Philippines is vested to supervise the Philippine Financial System. Through sound policies and effective implementation that aims to deliver a high quality of life for all Filipinos and a balanced and sustainable growth to the economy they could greatly improve the country's plight. However, with its 54 years and still continuing service, a lot of policies were made that purports to serve the interest of the rich local and foreign capitalists. Through in depth assessment and research of their policies and programs, the Central Bank failed to meet its mission in serving the national interest of the Filipino people.

Abstract: Development is a process of social transformation and human development wherein tile people are both the subject and object of development. In an era where economies and countries consolidate to become one global village, the Philippines is doing its best to integrate itself in the global arena. To become at par with the developing and advanced countries, our government anchored itself on the so-called globalization. We adopted development strategies meant to uplift not only our economy's status but also the lives of the people. Past and present administrations focused on developing the economy. Different policies and programs were implemented so as to realize the much elusive dream of economic growth. Economic growth that aims to improve the people's lives. For centuries, we, as with the other countries, upheld the theory that economic prosperity would eventually trickle down to the people. All over the world, human development has been pursued to be the relevant manifestation of economic growth. The Little Samar fisherfolks who dwell in an urban depressed area is an apparent picture that it has all been simply an empty rhetoric. So, what is economic growth if it does not improve people's lives? Development is a point of no return wherein human development and equity are not seen as trade-offs.
