Quotes to learn from!
"When I hear people say that money seldom brings happiness, they forget to add the word "obsession" before "money." Heck, nobody can survive in this modern world without money, let alone be happy." ― Franklin H. Maletsky

Philippines, is the only country in the world which is 85% Catholic that created FIVE(5) national laws "favoring", "promoting" and "financing" the religion of ISLAM.
Then made it unlawful to finance all other religions. Islamic insurgents paid off the architects of the 1987 constitution to insert two words: Muslim and Autonomous.
They classify all the Muslims(Moros) not only as followers of Islam but also as indigenous people. The only country in the world that has a government commission that caters to Muslims only, for the hajj, for madrasas, and the spread of Islam at government's expense PAID by the taxes of Non-Muslims. A government-run Muslim channel, Salaam TV to promote Islam.
Religion is always good for the people but it should never be embraced or financed by government. Tax exemption is not tantamount to financing. Every non-profit organization is tax-exempt.

Medicinal Herbs have a variety of uses including culinary, medicinal, as alternative herbal remedies, or in some cases even spiritual usage. A medicinal herb may be a shrub or other woody plant, whereas a culinary herb is a non-woody plant, typically using the leaves.

Medicinal plants are widely used in non-industrialized societies, mainly because they are readily available and cheaper than modern medicines. The annual global export value of the thousands of types of plants with medicinal properties was estimated to be US$2.2 billion in 2012. In 2017, the potential global market for botanical extracts and medicines was estimated at several hundred billion dollars

The 1987 constitution designated CAR to be an autonomous region. Hurdles through congress stopped the region from becoming autonomous. Finally in 2017 after 3 decades, the cordillera has its autonomy.

Several indigenous peoples live in the cordilleras. The majority are listed here: Tinggian (Itneg, Binongan), Isneg (Isnag, Apayao), Kankanaey, Iyaplay, Bontoc, Ibaloi (Ibaloy, Nabaloi), Karao (Karaw), Ifugao (Ifugaw, Ipugao, Yfugao), Kalanguya (Ikalahan), Kalinga (Limos, Limos-Liwan Kalinga), Isneg (Isnag, Apayao), Kankanaey, Iyaplay.

To preserve its cultural uniqueness and to fortify its ethnic solidarity. the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) was carved out of the predominantly Ilocano Regions of Ilocos and Cagayan Valley. Located in the North Central portion of Luzon., the region is composed of six provinces namely Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga and Mountain Province and the chartered city of Baguio. It is further subdivided into 76 municipalities and 1,172 barangays. It is composed of provinces which used to be part of the Old Mountain Province

The region's land area of 1,829,368 hectares accounts for 6.1 percent of the total land mass of the Philippines. As of 1997, the region has a total of 340,656 hectares of Alienable and Disposable Land and 1,488,712 hectares of Total Forest Land

Dubbed as the "Watershed Cradle of the Philippines", the Cordillera has a mountainous topography characterized by towering peaks, plateaus and intermittent patches of valleys. Almost 71 percent of the region's land area has slopes of 30 percent and above.

Cordillera is endowed with the abundant mineral reserves. These are metallic ores such as gold copper, silver, zinc, and non-metallic minerals like sand, gravel and sulfur. Mineral reserves are found in Abra, Benguet, Kalinga, Apayao and Mt. Province. However, mining operations are still concentrated in Benguet where almost 100 percent of the region's mineral production in 1997 was registered.

The region is the least populated region in the country despite its vast land area. The total population in 1990 was 1,146,191 and grew to 1,254,838 in 1995 reflecting an average annual growth of 1.71%. Agriculture remains to be the the primary preoccupation which employs more than half of the regions workforce. Industry, which accounts for 61.0 percent of the region's total economy, registered a single-digit growth of 7.6 percent. With this, the overall economy of CAR managed to grow by 4.9 percent in 1998.
