On July 1, 2026, the World Bank reclassified the Philippines as an Upper-Middle-Income Country, after the country’s GNI per capita reached $4,850, exceeding the $4,636 threshold.

However, an income classification is only based on an average. It does not tell us how income is distributed, whether wages are keeping up with prices, or whether Filipino households actually feel better off.

While the Philippines moves up on paper, questions remain on the ground: are Filipino families moving along with it? What does this new classification mean for the millions still struggling to make ends meet, keep up with rising prices, and secure stable jobs?

Ahead of 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧 𝗩𝗜: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝗨𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲?: 𝗔𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀’ 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗨𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿-𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲-𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆, we have prepared a situationer to unpack the numbers behind the upgrade, the economic realities they may not capture, and the bigger questions surrounding the country’s path to development.

Because being classified as “upper-middle-income” is one thing. Understanding who actually benefits from economic growth is another. 🔍

Ngayong 𝐢𝐤𝐚-𝟓𝟒 𝐧𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐬𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐤𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫, ang UPLB Economics Society ay nakikiisa sa pag-alala sa mga biktima ng karahasan, pang-aabuso, at paglabag sa karapatang pantao sa ilalim ng diktadurang Ferdinand Marcos Sr.

Sa kasalukuyang suliraning kinahaharap ng bansa dahil sa pagkukulang ng administrasyong nasa kapangyarihan, ating pag-alabin ang puso't sumigaw para sa katarungan at pananagutan.

Laban sa naratibo na ang dekada '70 ay ang "Golden Age" ng ekonomiya, maraming ulat ang nagpapakita ng malalim na krisis pang-ekonomiya. Bago bumagsak ang rehimen, umabot sa mahigit $28.3 bilyon ang utang ng bansa na ginamit sa malalaking imprastaktura na kalaunan ay napunta sa mga white elephant projects o proyektong hindi kumikita o hindi nagamit nang husto tulad ng Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. Ang huling dalawang taon din ng rehimen ang itinuturing na pinakamalalang economic contraction o recession sa buong kasaysayan bago ang pandemya ng COVID-19. Umatras ang ekonomiya ng bansa at humina ang Real GDP nang -7.3% noong 1984 na nagtagal hanggang sa sumunod na taon. Naiulat ding bumagsak ang kita ng mga maliliit na magsasaka sa kanayunan na nagdulot ng Negros Famine dahil inagaw at ibinigay sa mga malalapit na kaibigan at kaalyado ng rehimen ang kontrol sa mga pangunahing industriya tulad ng NASUTRA, UNICOM at Cocofed Levy Fund.

Sa kasalukuyang administrasiyong hindi nalalayo, iba ang slogan, ngunit pareho ang dusa: mula sa 'Bagong Lipunan' tungo sa 'Bagong Pilipinas.' Parehong nangangako ng pagbabago, ngunit pareho ring pinalalamutian ng mga magagandang salita ang imahinasyon ng publiko habang ang mamamayan ay patuloy na ginigipit ng mataas na presyo ng bilihin, mababang pasahod, at patuloy na pagtaas ng pambansang utang. Parehong pangako ng pagbabago at pag-asa, ngunit pareho ring pamamaraan ng pagkontrol sa masa.

Sa lahat ng ipinangako, dugo't utang ang iniwan sa tao. Pagnilayan at bigyang-pugay ang mga naging biktima ng karahasan. Gisingin ang diwang mapagpalaya, at tumugon sa hamon na ating kinahaharap sa kasulukuyan. Isigaw ang ating mga panawagan at patuloy na tumindig para sa isang gobyernong may tunay na malasakit para sa nasasakupan.

Ang nakaraan ang magsisilbing mitsa ng ating paglaban. Ating bitbitin ang liwanag at katotohanan, dahil ang namulat ay hindi na muling pipikit pa.

Para sa isang bansang punong-puno ng likas na yaman, bakit kaya mas nakikinabang pa ang mga dayuhan kaysa sa bayan?

Isang taon matapos tayong sama-samang lumabas sa ating mga silid-aralan, patuloy pa rin nating nararanasan ang mga suliraning dulot ng kapabayaan at maling prayoridad ng estado. Sa buong UP System, nakaamba ang ₱2.95B budget cut para sa susunod na taon. Sa CEM, ilang taon nang nakatengga ang gusaling dapat sana’y nagsisilbi na sa atin, habang nagsisiksikan ang mga mag-aaral, faculty, REPs, admin, at staff sa limitadong espasyo.

Habang kinakapos ang pondo para sa edukasyon, patuloy na tumataas ang presyo ng mga bilihin at nananatiling kulang ang sahod ng mga manggagawa. Samantala, itinutulak ng administrasyong Marcos Jr. ang Pax Silica at Luzon Economic Corridor, na higit pang nagbubukas sa ating ekonomiya at likas na yaman sa dayuhang interes.

Kung hindi ka pa galit, bakit?

Bilang mga Ekonomista ng Bayan, hindi tayo mananatiling tahimik habang ang edukasyon at kabuhayan ng mamamayan ay isinasantabi para sa interes ng iilan at dayuhan.
