PHILIPPINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN/AMBISYON
NATIN 2040
AMBISYON NATIN 2040 REPRESENTS THE COLLECTIVE LONG-

TERM VISION AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE FOR
THEMSELVES AND FOR THE COUNTRY IN THE NEXT 25 YEARS.
IT DESCRIBES THE KIND OF LIFE THAT PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE, AND
HOW THE COUNTRY WILL BE BY 2040. AS SUCH, IT IS ANCHOR FOR
DEVELOPMENT PLANNING ACROSS AT LEAST FOUR
ADMINISTRATIONS.
AMBISYON NATIN 2040 IS A PICTURE OF THE FUTURE, A SET OF LIFE
GOALS FOR THE COUNTRY.
IT IS DIFFERENT FROM A PLAN, WHICH DEFINES THE STRATEGIES TO
ACHIEVE GOALS.
IT IS LIKE A DESTINATION THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION, “WHERE DO
WE WANT TO BE?” A PLAN DESCRIBES THE WAY TO GET TO THE
DESTINATION; AMBISYON NATIN 2040 IS THE VISION THAT GUIDES THE
FUTURE AND IS THE ANCHOR OF THE COUNTRY’S PLAN.
AMBISYON NATIN 2040 IS THE RESULT OF A LONG-TERM VISIONING PROCESS
THAT BEGAN IN 2015.
MORE THAN 300 CITIZENS PARTICIPATED IN FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS AND
CLOSE TO 10,000 ANSWERED THE NATIONAL SURVEY. TECHNICAL STUDIES
WERE PREPARED TO IDENTIFY STRATEGIC OPTIONS FOR REALIZING THE
VISION ARTICULATED BY CITIZENS.
THE EXERCISE BENEFITTED FROM THE GUIDANCE OF AN ADVISORY
COMMITTEE COMPOSED OF GOVERNMENT, PRIVATE SECTOR, ACADEME, AND
CIVIL SOCIETY.
THE LIFE OF ALL FILIPINOS IN 2040:
MATATAG, MAGINHAWA, AT PANATAG NA BUHAY

BY 2040, FILIPINOS ENJOY A STRONGLY ROOTED, COMFORTABLE, AND
SECURE LIFE.
IN 2040, WE WILL ALL ENJOY A STABLE AND COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE,
SECURE IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH FOR OUR DAILY
NEEDS AND UNEXPECTED EXPENSES, THAT WE CAN PLAN AND PREPARE
FOR OUR OWN AND OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE.
OUR FAMILY LIVES TOGETHER IN A PLACE OF OUR OWN, AND WE HAVE
THE FREEDOM TO GO WHERE WE DESIRE, PROTECTED AND ENABLED
BY A CLEAN, EFFICIENT, AND FAIR GOVERNMENT.
FILIPINOS ARE STRONGLY ROOTED: MATATAG
FILIPINO FAMILIES LIVE TOGETHER; THERE IS WORK-LIFE BALANCE SO THAT

THERE IS TIME TO SPEND WITH FAMILY EVEN FOR MEMBERS WHO WORK.
ON WEEKENDS, FAMILIES AND FRIENDS ENJOY TIME TOGETHER IN PARKS
AND RECREATIONAL CENTERS. IT IS HIGH-TRUST SOCIETY WITH A STRONG
SENSE OF COMMUNITY.
THERE ARE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES, AND FILIPINOS SPEND TIME TO
SERVE THE COMMUNITY, HELP OTHERS WHO ARE IN NEED, AND CONTRIBUTE
TO VARIOUS CAUSES.
FILIPINOS ARE COMFORTABLE: MAGINHAWA
NO ONE IS POOR, NO ONE IS EVER HUNGRY.

FILIPINO FAMILIES LIVE IN COMFORTABLE HOMES WITH THE
DESIRED AMENITIES AND SECURE TENURE. FAMILIES AND
FRIENDS ARE WITHIN REACH BECAUSE TRANSPORT IS
CONVENIENT AND AFFORDABLE, AND THEY CAN TAKE A
VACATION TOGETHER WITHIN THE COUNTRY AND ABROAD.
CHILDREN RECEIVE QUALITY EDUCATION SO THAT THEY
REALIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIALS AND BECOME PRODUCTIVE
MEMBERS OF SOCIETY. DECENT JOBS THAT BRING SUSTAINABLE
INCOME ARE AVAILABLE, INCLUDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
FILIPINOS ARE SECURE: PANATAG
FILIPINOS FEEL SECURE OVER THEIR ENTIRE LIFETIME.

THEY EXPECT TO LIVE LONG AND ENJOY A COMFORTABLE LIFE
UPON RETIREMENT. THERE ARE RESOURCES TO COVER
UNEXPECTED EXPENSES, AND THERE ARE SAVINGS.
THEY FEEL SAFE IN ALL PLACES IN THE COUNTRY. FILIPINOS
TRUST THEIR GOVERNMENT BECAUSE IT IS FREE OF CORRUPTION
AND PROVIDES SERVICE TO ALL ITS CITIZENS EQUALLY.
MATATAG
 FAMILY IS TOGETHER.
 TIME WITH FRIENDS.
 WORK-LIFE BALANCE.
 VOLUNTEERING
MAGINHAWA
 FREE FROM HUNGER AND POVERTY.
 SECURE HOME OWNERSHIP.
 GOOD TRANSPORT FACILITIES
 TRAVEL AND VACATION.
PANATAG
 ENOUGH RESOURCES FOR DAY-TO-DAY NEEDS, UNEXPECTED
EXPENSES AND SAVINGS
 PEACE AND SECURITY.
 LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE.
 COMFORTABLE RETIREMENT.
REALIZING THE AMBISYON
ALL SECTORS OF SOCIETY, WHETHER PUBLIC OR PRIVATE, SHOULD

DIRECT THEIR EFFORTS TOWARDS CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
FILIPINOS TO ENJOY A MATATAG, MAGINHAWA AT PANATAG NA BUHAY.
GOVERNMENT , IN PARTICULAR, MUST MAXIMIZE ITS TOOLS OF FISCAL,
MONETARY AND REGULATORY POLICIES TO STEER THE DEVELOPMENT
PATH TOWARDS ENABLING FILIPINOS TO ATTAIN THEIR AMBISYON. THIS
PERTAINS TO ALL DIMENSIONS OF ECONOMIC, HUMAN AND PHYSICAL
CAPITAL, INSTITUTIONAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL.
REALIZING THE AMBISYON
BY 2040, THE PHILIPPINES IS A PROSPEROUS MIDDLE CLASS

SOCIETY WHERE NO ONE IS POOR. PEOPLE LIVE LONG AND
HEALTHY LIVES AND ARE SMART AND INNOVATIVE. THE COUNTRY
IS A HIGH-TRUST SOCIETY WHERE FAMILIES THRIVE IN VIBRANT,
CULTURALLY DIVERSE, AND RESILIENT COMMUNITIES.
FILIPINOS LIVE IN A PROSPEROUS, PREDOMINANTLY
MIDDLE CLASS SOCIETY WHERE NO ONE IS POOR.
ECONOMIC GROWTH MUST BE RELEVANT, INCLUSIVE AND

SUSTAINABLE. OVER THE NEXT 25 YEARS (UNTIL 2040), PER
CAPITA INCOME MUST INCREASE BY AT LEAST THREE-FOLD.
MORE THAN THE INCREASE IN INCOME, ECONOMIC GROWTH
MUST PROGRESSIVELY IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE
MAJORITY OF FILIPINOS.
AMBISYON CAN BE PARTLY ACHIEVED BY HAVING COMPETITIVE

ENTERPRISES THAT OFFER QUALITY GOODS AND SERVICES AT
AFFORDABLE PRICES. GOVERNMENT MUST ENCOURAGE
INVESTMENTS IN THESE SECTORS BY IMPROVING MARKET
LINKAGES, SIMPLIFYING GOVERNMENT PROCEDURES, AND
FACILITATING ACCESS TO FINANCE.
THESE SHOULD BE COMPLEMENTED BY APPROPRIATE HUMAN
CAPITAL, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION.
FOLLOWING ARE THE PRIORITY SECTORS THAT HAVE DIRECT

IMPACT ON AMBISYON:
HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
CONSTRUCTION, CONSTRUCTION-RELATED MANUFACTURING,
HOUSE DEVELOPMENT-RELATED MANUFACTURING, AND
UTILITIES (ELECTRICITY, GAS, AND WATER).
MANUFACTURING
FOOD PROCESSING, HOUSING RELATED, CONSTRUCTION-
RELATED TRANSPORT MANUFACTURING, AND OTHER
MANUFACTURING.
CONNECTIVITY
ROADS AND BRIDGES, PORT, AIRPORTS, VEHICLES, TRANSPORT
SYSTEM, AND COMMUNICATION.
EDUCATION SERVICES
FORMAL EDUCATION AND RE-TOOLING SERVICES.
TOURISM AND ALLIED SERVICES
RESORT, REST-RECREATION HOTELS, ACCOMMODATION,
TRAVEL AND TOUR CULTURAL SHOWS, HERITAGE SITES, ETC.
AGRICULTURE
FOOD PRODUCTION, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL CROP,
AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY, ETC.
HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES
PRIMARY, SECONDARY, AND TERTIARY CARE, PHARMACEUTICALS,
WELLNESS FACILITIES, SPORTS AND FITNESS FACILITIES, ETC.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
CONSUMER FINANCING, ENTERPRISE FINANCING, AND INSURANCE
SAVINGS MOBILIZATION.
GOVERNMENT MUST ALSO ENSURE THAT ECONOMIC GROWTH
IS BROAD-BASED ACROSS SECTORS AND REGIONS; IT MUST
RESULT IN A MORE EQUAL INCOME DISTRIBUTION.
MOREOVER, THERE SHOULD BE AGGRESSIVE INTERVENTIONS TO
INCREASE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE POOR TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
GROWTH PROCESS EVEN AS THEY ARE PROTECTED AGAINST THE
NEGATIVE IMPACT OF ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL INSTABILITIES,
NATURAL AND MAN-MADE CALAMITIES.
POVERTY MUST BE ERADICATED BY 2040, IF NOT EARLIER.
IT MUST ALSO BE RECOGNIZED THAT CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS CANNOT
IMMEDIATELY PARTICIPATE IN THE GROWTH PROCESS.
FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN, THERE IS A REQUISITE CARE, GUIDANCE,
HEALTH AND EDUCATION SERVICES UNTIL THEY BECOME MATURE
ENOUGH.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PARENTS AND FAMILIES ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE
THESE, ALTHOUGH GOVERNMENT SHOULD STAND READY TO FILL THE
GAP.
A MAJOR INTERVENTION, THEREFORE, IS FOR PARENTS TO
ADEQUATELY PREPARE FOR HAVING A FAMILY.
FILIPINOS LIVE A LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE.
POLICIES THAT PROMOTE WORK-LIFE BALANCE CAN REDUCE

THE STRAIN ON PEOPLE’S HEALTH.
FILIPINOS MUST ALSO BE GIVEN MORE AFFORDABLE, CLEAN AND
SAFE OPTIONS FOR REST AND RECREATION LIKE OPEN SPACES,
NATURE PARKS AND PUBLIC SPORTS AND FITNESS FACILITIES.
IN CASE OF ILLNESS, FILIPINOS MUST HAVE ACCESS TO
AFFORDABLE AND GOOD QUALITY HEALTHCARE.
FILIPINOS LIVE A LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE.
ENSURING THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE AND HEALTH-

RELATED PRODUCTS AND THE SAFETY OF OTHER PRODUCTS IS
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GOVERNMENT AS WELL.
FILIPINOS ARE SMART AND INNOVATIVE.
WELL-EDUCATED, INNOVATIVE FILIPINOS WILL

CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE
PHILIPPINES. IF EDUCATION IS THE PROCESS OF FACILITATING THE
“ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, VALUES, BELIEFS AND
HABITS”, FORMAL EDUCATION IS THE STRUCTURED METHOD OF
FACILITATING THE ACQUISITION OF A SELECT SET OF SUCH
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, VALUES, BELIEFS AND HABITS.
GOVERNMENT, THEREFORE, MUST BE PROACTIVE IN SETTING THE
AGENDA FOR EDUCATION. IT IS, AFTER ALL, ABOUT MOLDING THE
FUTURE PHILIPPINE SOCIETY.
MORE THAN ENSURING THAT FILIPINO STUDENTS ACQUIRE

THE FOUNDATIONAL LITERACIES (READING, NUMERACY,
SCIENTIFIC LITERACY, ICT LITERACY, ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL
LITERACY, CULTURAL AND CIVIL LITERACY),
THE FORMAL EDUCATION SYSTEM MUST ALSO ENSURE THAT
STUDENTS OBTAIN COMPETENCIES (CRITICAL THINKING,
PROBLEM-SOLVING, CREATIVITY, COMMUNICATION AND
COLLABORATION) AND DEVELOP CHARACTER QUALITIES
(CURIOSITY, INITIATIVE, PERSISTENCE AND GRIT, ADAPTABILITY,
LEADERSHIP, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL AWARENESS).
THERE MUST BE ACCESS TO LIFELONG OPPORTUNITIES SO THAT

THE COMPETENCIES OF ALL FILIPINOS ARE CONTINUOUSLY
UPGRADED AND UPDATED.
FILIPINOS LIVE IN A HIGH-TRUST SOCIETY.
A HIGH-TRUST SOCIETY ALLOWS FILIPINOS TO ENJOY A

PANATAG NA BUHAY TOGETHER WITH THEIR FAMILIES.
EXTENDING TO THE BIGGER COMMUNITY, A HIGH TRUST SOCIETY
EQUALS A MATATAG NA PAMAYANAN.
A HIGH-TRUST SOCIETY ALLOWS PEOPLE TO SEE TO THEIR

ECONOMIC PURSUITS, SECURE IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY
WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE FRUITS OF THEIR LABOR.
HOWEVER, SOCIETAL TIES MUST BE STRENGTHENED WHERE
EVERY FILIPINO CARES FOR THE PLIGHT OF HIS FELLOW FILIPINO.
EVERY FILIPINO MUST FEEL UPSET IF ANOTHER FILIPINO IS FOUND
HUNGRY AND POOR, OR UNABLE TO RECOVER FROM
UNFORTUNATE EVENTS.
A CARING SOCIETY DOES NOT EVOLVE OVERNIGHT; IT MUST BE

CULTIVATED. VENUES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERPERSONAL
INTERACTION MUST BE PROVIDED. BUT USUALLY, IT TAKES ROOT
FROM BUILDING TRUST IN ESTABLISHED INSTITUTIONS LIKE
GOVERNMENT.
GOVERNMENT MUST THEREFORE BEGIN THE PROCESS OF
CONFIDENCE-BUILDING BY BEING CLEAN, FAIR AND CITIZEN
CENTERED. AFTER ALL, A HIGH-TRUST SOCIETY IS THE MOST
DURABLE BEDROCK FOR VIBRANT, CULTURALLY DIVERSE, AND
RESILIENT COMMUNITIES OF THE PHILIPPINES BY 2040---
HOPEFULLY, SOONER.
