Economics students and would-be policy makers cannot afford to miss these two events - two talks (in the University of the Philippines Diliman) on Philippine development prospects and outlook days before President Benigno Aquino III's second State of the Nation Address (SONA). From two contending ideological camps, the Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC) which espouses a developmentalist state and the UP School of Economics (UPSE) which retains its neoclassical foundations, we stand to learn more about the dynamics of the Philippine economy, the interaction of government, firms, and the consumers.
See details below.

I have campaigned for Mr. Ricardo Reyes as Pasig Mayor during the 2010 elections, while Dr. Dante Canlas (former NEDA Chair) is presently my professor in Macroeconomics (Econ 201) at the UP School of Economics. Coming from vastly different viewpoints and ideologies, I am sure that listening to them will enrich anyone and inspire her/him to know more about contemporary economics and political-economic realities.
