Lack of infrastructure top obstacle to devt

The biggest hindrance to Philippine development is the lack of infrastructure. The absence of political will is also stopping the government from setting up a template in building new cities according to a study done by the state think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS).

Research fellow Adoracion Navarro who wrote the study said that the World Bank 2014 report on the country‘s economic picture stated that infrastructure has surpassed corruption as the country‘s foremost development obstacle.
