3. Overpopulation
 In 2000, roughly one-third of the population (nearly 27 million
Filipinos) lacked the roughly US$275 required annually to satisfy
food and non-food basic needs.
 Such poverty, exacerbated by prolonged El Niño-induced drought
and the residual effects of the 1997/1998 financial crisis that shook
the region, limits the ability of the poor to gain access to health and
other services.
 Compared with other countries in the region, the Philippines is
experiencing rapid population growth.
 In addition to fleeing to urban commercial centers, many people
leave the country for work
Main issues

3. Overpopulation
 An average of 2,500 Filipinos leave the country every day for work
abroad, and the Philippines is second only to Mexico as an exporter
of labor
 An estimated 10 percent of the country’s population, or nearly 8
million people, are overseas Filipino workers distributed in 182
countries, according to POPCOM.
 3 million migrants who work illegally abroad
 A large proportion of these remittances come from women who are
the majority of overseas Filipino workers
