Overall Assessment
The seeds of earlier reforms nurtured by the currently improving macroeconomic environment and global investor sentiment to the Philippine sovereign continue to bear fruit as the Philippine financial system sustained its growth spurt for the first semester of 2011 amidst global economic slowdown.
Key performance indicators for the first half of 2011 showed the sustained strength of banks’ core balance sheet accounts: steady asset expansion, double-digit credit growth, stable funding base, ample liquidity, continuing improvement in overall asset quality and above standard solvency ratios and healthy bottom lines.
Other Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) supervised financial institutions followed the same growth trajectory on fertile operating environment.

    The Philippines’ full year Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2013 grew by 7.2 percent, higher than the government’s expectations of 6 percent to 7 percent and despite several challenges that strained the economy last year (Lopez, 2014). Gross National Product in Philippines increased to 2075531 PHP Million in the fourth quarter of 2013 from 2047706 PHP Million in the third quarter of 2013 (Trading Economics, 2013). This is despite the man-made and natural calamities that brought economic stagnation on some regions of the country, like what happened in Tacloban when it was struck with super typhoon Yolanda. Philippines’ economic boom has really been jaw-dropping, and even the foreign countries get amazed and call the country as the “Asia’s rising tiger economy”.…

This comparison led him to conclude that the force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and other objects is inversely proportional to the distance separating the earth's center from the object's center. But distance is not the only variable affecting the magnitude of a gravitational force. Consider Newton's famous equation…
