第一部份大意：

在菲律賓種植一公頃菠蘿蜜能夠帶來1.2W美元一年的收入。該國的貧困人口比例為17%，其中一個原因是其緩慢的經濟增長。在1980年到2005年之間，GDP的平均增長只有0.63%，雖然今年的GDP增長預計為6%，但也僅僅是集中在馬尼拉等少數省份。偏遠地區的群島和經濟增長無緣。

In Philippines a hectare of jackfruit can bring 12,000 USD a year. The poverty rate of the country can be 17%. One reason is the low economic growth of GDP. Between 19780 and 2005, the growth was only 0.63%. Although the GDP growth is forecasted to be 6%, most of the growth is concentrated in Manila and the two provinces nearby. The remote area can't share in the prosperity.
