Published by the University of Asia and the Pacific in cooperation with the Orminvest Foundation, this book is the third edtion of the most complete and up-to-date compilation of the "sunrise sectors" of the Philippine economy and, more importantly, the favorable factors that make them globally competitive.  The Philippine Advantage is perceived as emanating from a highly educated, young, cheerful, and culturally adaptable workforce which is part of the demographic gift that the Philippines is still enjoying, in contrast with the rapidly aging populations of the developed world.  This book continues to be a valuable reference for bankers, investors, government policymakers, international agencies, and university professors and students of business and economics who want to know which Philippine enterprises, industries, and sectors will survive the irreversible globalization of the world economy.
