Nationalization of the Retail Trade
Pursuant to the provisions of Republic Act No. 1180 known as the Retail Trade Nationalization Law as amended by Presidential Decree No. 714, section 79 (B) of the Revised Administrative Code, retail business is defined according to the following:
1. Retail business shall mean any act, occupation or calling of habitually selling directly to the general public merchandise, commodities or goods for consumption, but shall not include:
a. Sales by a manufacturer, processor, laborer or worker to the general public the products manufactured, processed or produced by him if his capital does not exceed five thousand pesos.
b. Sales by a farmer or agriculturist of the product of his farm.
c. Sales by a manufacturer or processor, in the Philippines or its subsidiary affiliate company, to industrial, commercial and agricultural users or consumers who use the products bought to
render service to the general public or to produce or manufacture goods which are in turn sold by them in accordance with the Retail Trade Nationalization Law.

e. Sales by a manufacturer or processor to the government and its agencies, including government-owned and controlled corporations.
f. Sales at wholesale.
The movement to nationalize the retail trade started in 1900 to 1929. Although there were no concerted efforts for its full implementation, it paved the way for a more sustained movement to nationalize the retail trade.
The most important factors which led to nationalization of the retail trade in the country are the following:
1.Chinese control of the retail trade
2.Rise of economic awareness
3.Development of education, system of transportation and communications.
4.Rise of nationalism.
The need to nationalize the retail trade gathered momentum in 1930 to 1944. Organizations such as Ang Bagong Katipunan were established to strengthen the movement.
It was only between 1945 and 1953 that Congress was convinced of the urgency and necessity of the matter.
Several Filipino groups were organized to enhance its full implementation.
The most important of these groups are the:
Filipino Retail Business Movement (FILREMO)
United Filipino Retailers Cooperative Association (UNIFIRCA)
Nationalization Movement of the Philippines (NMP)
Philippine Chamber of Commerce
Pagkakaisa at Tangkilikan
National Economic Protectionalism Association
Pera-pera Movement of 1938
Filipino Retailers Merchants Association of 1948
Dionisio ReyesFather of FILREMO Considered the most persistent advocate of
the Retail Trade Nationalization Act, he was even called the Father of the Retail Trade Nationalization Movement.
Through an agreement called the Cuenco Resolution, the delegates of the constitutional convention were convinced that Congress was authorized to pass a law which nationalizes the retail trade.
It was under the administration of President Ramon Magsaysay when House Bill No. 2523 was approved and finally Republic Act 1180 became a reality.
It was that beginning May 15, 1954, “no alien and no association not wholly controlled by Filipino citizens can be permitted to engage in the retail trade in the Philippines.”
Meaning, that those aliens and associations already engaged in retail trade on or before May 15, 1954 may continue their business.
It is further stated that alien retailers who were allowed to engage in retail trade because they were actually engaged in this business on or before May 15, 1954, shall not be allowed to establish or open new stores or branches.
Coastwise Trade The transport of goods
from one port to another within the country.
Local ports such as Bataan and Manila are considered two of the five busiest coastwise trading centers. Other busy ports are in Cebu, Davao and General Santos
Airway Trade
The movement of goods from one airport to another within the country.
Large and busy airports are in Mindanao and National Capital Regions
Railway Trade
Consigned commodities transported through the railroad.
The province of Bicol registered the largest percentage of outflows as well as inflows, with the NCR in close second.
Lack of capital curtails further production of goods and services and this situation militates against the primary function of distribution which is to increase consumer welfare.
Financial restraints often force wholesalers and retailers to stop their business, thus resulting to a lag in the system of distribution.
The marketing of commodities is very crucial to the whole system of exchange.

Professor Edgar L. Leigs says that the underground economy or the informal economic sector does not only exist in underdeveloped nations, but also exists in industrialized and progressive countries like the United States.
Components of the Informal Sector
The Illegal Economy The Unreported Economy
It consists of activities which are pursued even if they violate legal statutes that define the legitimate forms of commerce.
Refers to the economic activities that circumvent and evade the tax code.
Components of Informal SectorThe Unrecorded Economy
The Counter Trade or the Sophisticated Version of Barter
This consists of economic activities that should be recorded in national accounting system but is not fully or properly recorded.
This may be considered an informal economy due to the minimum use of foreign exchange.
Why does Underground Economy Exist?
Costly regulations
Rising Taxes
A growing distrust in government especially with the increasing rate of graft and corruption
Counter trade ensures that developing countries such as the Philippines will have a lesser need to borrow from multilateral institutions like the IMF in order to import more goods and services from other countries.
State of Underground Economy in the Philippines
In the February 1994 issue of Recent Economic Indicators, they analyzed the currency in circulation which in real terms increased by about 52.7% while real GNP increased by only 17.7% over a 13 year period. On the assumption that the informal sector started from 0 in 1980 and that the velocity of money has been constant, they calculated that the size of the informal economy in 1992 relative to GNP was about 30%.
