The ancient Spanish empire stretched from the Americas to Asia. Joseph visits Loreto, Baja California, Mexico — the first Spanish capital of the Californias and The Philippines — where Spanish influence is visible in the Filipinos’ language, spirit and food.

Loreto, Baja California Mexico is where the mountains come to swim! In the first part of this show Joseph highlights Loreto’s history and travels the width of the longest peninsula in the world when he heads to the west coast of Baja California for an up-close encounter with gray whales in Magdelena Bay. And, along the way, we’ll meet Loreto and Mexico’s greatest treasure — its people.

The Philippines is a string of 7,107 islands that offer the traveler diverse cultures, varied scenery, a rich history, endless activities and, foremost, a welcoming people.

Which is surprising considering the fact that the country and its people have been used and abused by foreign interests for generations. The Spanish were in charge from Magellan’s landing in 1521 until the Americans conquered and purchased the country in 1898. Fifty years of U. S. control gave way to the Japanese invasion in 1941. For three years, the Japanese brutalized the populace until, as promised, the Americans and Douglas MacArthur returned in 1945.

Yet, in spite of invasions, oppressions and hardships they’ve suffered, the Filipinos have never lost their feelings of goodwill toward other people. On this episode Joseph shares with the viewers a few of his many discoveries.

In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have occasionally been asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services in Philippines. The purpose of this study is to understand the density of demand within Philippines and the extent to which Cebu might be used as a point of distribution within Asia. From an economic perspective, however, Cebu does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries, rather, it represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another.

In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for Cebu over the next five years for hundreds of industries, categories and products. The goal of this report is to report the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by Cebu when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales. For many items, latent demand is clearly observable in sales, as in the case for food or housing items. Consider, however, the category “satellite launch vehicles”. Clearly, there are no launch pads in Cebu used by the space industry to launch satellites. However, the core benefit of the vehicles (e.g. telecommunications, etc.) is “consumed” by the area served by Cebu. Without Cebu, in other words, the market for satellite launch vehicles would be lower for the population in Philippines, Asia, or the world in general. One needs to allocate, therefore, a portion of the worldwide economic demand for launch vehicles to both Asia and Cebu.

Yu and Liu give an account of their research into reproductive behavior on the island of Cebu, the oldest and most densely populated province in the Philippines. In presenting their findings the authors draw a fascinating picture of the way the Cebuanos’ economic and social realities encourage couples to have large families–and frustrate the efforts of family planning agencies to limit them.
