AmBisyon Natin 2040

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AmBisyon Natin 2040 (literally "Our Ambition 2040") is the twenty-five-year long term vision developed by the Philippine government as a guide for development planning.[1][2] It is designed to overcome the challenges brought by the Philippines' current political system, which is bound to the limits of the country's six-year presidential terms.[3] Conceived by the senior government officials before the 2016 Philippine presidential election, it was picked up by the Duterte administration and put into force by Executive Order No. 5, series of 2016.[4]

In 2015, the National Economic and Development Authority, commonly referred to as NEDA launched the program, which supposedly “represents the collective long-term vision and aspirations of the Filipino people for themselves and for the country in the next 25 years." NEDA also plans to seek "consistency and stability" within the Philippines. The vision itself is focused on national economics, where NEDA itself is based.[5] In 2024, NEDA launched their first mission, which implemented a signature space in National IDs, assisted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). The mission was created to improve identification for transactions and other local needs.[5]

As part of the vision, a survey was given to plan citizens future and help fix the government, the survey has two rounds of questions. The first-round talks about what Filipinos envision for the country in 2040, and the second round of questions asks the taker about constraints, which holds their vision back. The plan created by NEDA was to change specific laws to let Filipinos "prosper easier".[6]: 5, 7 

NEDA distributed surveys to multiple places in the country, mostly urbanized HUCs. In Luzon, six provinces were picked, with a total of 11 settlements. Specifically, Quezon City, Makati, Mabini, Batangas, Santa Rosa, Laguna, Cabuyao, Los Baños, Laguna, Guimba, Licab, Sorsogon City, Legazpi, Albay, and Bato, Camarines Sur. In Visayas, two provinces were picked, with a total of two settlements, specifically Iloilo City and Borongan. In Mindanao, four provinces were picked, with a total of four settlements. Specifically, Davao City, Panabo, Zamboanga City, and Cotabato City.[6]: 12 

For the 13 surveys, 1.5% were given to people aged 12-14, 51.2% were given to people aged 15-30, 17.9% were given to people aged 31-39, 14.6% were given to people aged 40-49, 11.2% were given to people aged 50-59, and 3.6% were given to seniors (60+). 1.8% didn't have any education, 10% finished elementary as their highest education, 38.8% finished high school has their highest education, 20.3% finished college[a] as their highest education, 23.6% graduated college, 3.9% were in their post-college years, and 1.5% had no response. [6]: 13 

A lot of the answers were directed at jobs, with many citizens unemployed. People also directed job instability, with some participants holding temporary jobs. Some participants also held low-paying jobs, receiving debt. Answers were also directed to transportation, with expensive rides to work and vice-versa.[6]: 23–25
