Poverty statistics reveal that absolute poverty has declined from 1985 to 1994. Notwithstanding this, inequity in the Philippines has grown since 1995. A notorious characteristic of attempts to alleviate poverty in the country is the tendency for benefits to go to the wrong hands.
After the relatively stable economic growth of the past four years, the next questions for the Philippines should be, first, whether growth has decreased poverty, and second, whether growth has been evenly distributed to the population. Although the questions seem redundant, there is reason to stress their difference. While the first was the focus of recent policy debates (World Bank 1996, A National Strategy to Fight Poverty), the second has been largely ignored. Indeed, relative poverty is often considered a serious problem only in developed countries; developing countries are more concerned with the level of absolute poverty.
Unequal access to basic services
The above mentioned statement clearly provides the reason for poverty. The basic services or amenities for human to lead a better life are - health care services, education, pure drinking water availbility, other important infrastructures (toilets, electricity, roadways, etc) .
In the developing countries, it is generally seen that these basic amenities are not accessible for the people living mostly in the rural areas or countryside. As these people are unaware of the policies and works which government frames for them, because they are not active in knowing, neither the head of their area take any initiative to make the people apprise of the availability of the services.
