问题     Despite that the wave of industrial development that has           【M1】______
swept much of East Asia in recent decades, the country of 80
million remains extremely poor,  mismanaged and still’ was             【M2】______
predominant agrarian.  But the Philippines docs play a visible        【M3】______
role in the global economy,  thanks largely to a single export
commodity—its people.  According to the government, I mil
lion Philippines will go abroad as contract workers this year,        【M4】______
the biggest exodus ever.  "The Philippines has already sur
passed Mexico as the largest source of migrant labor in the
word," says Manolo I.  Abella, a migration specialist at the
International Labour Office in Geneva.  In all,  about 8  mil
lion Filipinos—an astounded one tenth of the country’s                【M5】______
citizens—currently work overseas to support families back home.
They remit more than  ＄ 7 billion annually, according to the
government, and that’s only’ official transfers.  A  recent Asian     【M6】______
Development Bank report put the real figure in the ＄ 14
billion to ＄ 21  billion range a sum that dwarfs both foreign direct
investment and aid flowing into the country, and amounts
3 2 percent of GNP.  In the past, the Philippines                       【M7】______
is shamed by its inability to create enough good jobs to keep          【M8】______
its people at home.  But hard economic reality—a 14 percent
unemployment rate and one of the highest poverty indexes in
the world ( nearly half the population subsists on less than ＄ 2
a day)—has shifted the sentiment.  Today, in a move that
countries like Indonesia and Bangladesh are likely to emulate
itself, the government takes the position that, like it or not,        【M9】______
the overseas workers constitute nation’s biggest comparative
advantage in an increasingly borderless world.  And so Manila
makes it easy for its citizens to immigrate,  and works hard,          【M10】______
through its embassies, to see that their rights as foreign workers
are protected. [br] 【M8】
