BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS
Social inequality is a state characterized by the existence of unequal opportunities and rewards for different social
positions or statuses within a group or society. It is a condition that contains structured and recurrent patterns of uneven
distributions of goods, wealth and resources. Social inequality results from a society organized by hierarchies of class, race,
and gender that unequally distributes access to resources and rights. Without equal opportunities, systemic patterns of
discrimination and exclusion prevent the poor and disadvantaged groups from accessing economic, political and social
resources, resulting in inequality traps — and the persistence of inequality across generations. Hence, social inequality is a
complex problem. However, it can be addressed by various programs and initiatives of the government with the help of
non-governmental organizations working together to ensure that opportunities are more readily available for the nation's
poorest people. Executive Order No. 5, s. 2016 (EO 5) adopted the national long-term vision or AmBisyon Natin 2040 as a
guide for development planning. EO 5 further states that all development plans until 2040 will be anchored on the long-
term vision and that these will emphasize the centrality of the Filipino people and their aspirations in the planning, design,
and implementation of government interventions for a matatag, maginhawa, at panatag na buhay para sa lahat (strongly-
rooted, comfortable, and secure life for all). The following are government programs to address social inequality based on
the government’s long-term vision:
On Peace and Order
Mamamayang Ayaw sa Anomalya, Mamamayang Ayaw sa Iligal na Droga (MASA-MASID)
This project of the Department of the Interior and Local Government aims to heighten community
involvement by mobilizing the support of local stakeholders, volunteers, civic organizations, faithbased
organizations, and the private sectors in the fight against illegal drugs, corruption, criminality and violent
extremism. Thus, helping in the realization of the mandate to promote peace and order, ensure public safety and in
upholding good governance.
On Infrastructure Development
Build, Build, Build (BBB Program)
In a report of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), it found that traffic congestion in Manila,
caused mainly by poor infrastructure, led to losses of about P2.4 billion in 2012, and that could triple by 2030.
Hence, Philippines suffers from unemployment and poverty because of poor infrastructure. This project aims to
improve and accelerate infrastructure spending and develop industries that will yield robust growth, create jobs
and improve the lives of Filipinos.
The key infrastructure projects under the BBB Program include:
(a) the Subic-Clark Railway;
(b) the North-South railway projects connecting Los Baños, Laguna to Tutuban, Manila and Clark Freeport
in Pampanga;
(c) a 1,500-hectare industrial park in Clark, Pampanga; and
(d) an expanded Clark International Airport also in Pampanga.
Other projects are:
(a) four energy facilities;
(b) 10 water resource projects and irrigation systems;
(c) five flood control facilities; and (d) three redevelopment programs.

to families who are definitely poor and more vulnerable and disadvantaged. It aims to provide social protection services fit
to the needs of IPs, Homeless Street Families (HSF), and Families in Need of Special Protection (FNSP).
Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act This is a law in the Philippines that institutionalizes free tuition
and exemption from other fees in state universities and colleges (SUCs), local universities and colleges (LUCs). This law is a
significant step towards improving the lives of underprivileged and marginalized Filipinos.

develop and promote the higher value and more complex ITBPM services such as information technology, healthcare
information management, software engineering and development, animation, and games development through capacity
building and trainings, international trade missions and exhibits. These will redound to more jobs generated within ICT-
related industries and non-ICT related industries.
Next Wave Cities Program The program focuses on the creation and development of ICT hubs which will serve as
business and innovation centers and investment destinations outside Metro Manila thus creating economic opportunities
in these areas. As a collaborative project with the Information Technology and Business Process Association of the
Philippines (IBPAP), the program aims to promote inclusive growth and development around the country.
On Macroeconomic Policies

and rehabilitation need of micro and small entrepreneurs considered as the most vulnerable economic group during
disasters and calamities and can even address poverty incidence by providing livelihood activities to relocated families. The
objective is to provide starter kit packages to micro and small entrepreneurs severely affected by disasters to enable them
