The Statistically Speaking "column" of the National Statistical Coordination Board has articles on the Philippines worth reading. One interesting piece is Dr. Romulo Virola's analysis of statistics on education.
Nothing surprising here, but sad considering you can see how we measure up to our Southeast Asian neighbors. A Pinoy-UK mailing list member has commented on the relevance of the statistics, which are (1) out-of-date and (2) do not show the vocational training that may be more suitable. At any rate, I think the figures still say something.
