One area I think the Philippines can focus on for long-term growth is environmental sustainability. The country is blessed with rich natural resources, but there’s an urgent need to balance development with environmental protection. The government could promote sustainable industries, such as eco-tourism and green agriculture, that not only provide jobs but also help preserve the natural beauty that draws tourists to the country.

Great point! Investing in renewable energy could also reduce reliance on fossil fuels and create sustainable growth opportunities.
