2. Retail trade brings about a balance in the
exchange within the economic system.

the products bought will sell.

together by purchasing products in large lots.

range of choice of goods and a quick delivery of
products to the consumers.

133. 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:
134. 1. Retail business shall mean any
act, occupation or calling of habitually selling
directly to the general public
merchandise, commodities or goods for

Trade Nationalization Law.

necessarily included in, or incidental to the
hotel business.

government and its agencies, including
government-owned and controlled
corporations.
f. Sales at wholesale.
138. 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.
139. 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.
140. 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
141. Dionisio Reyes
Father 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.
142. 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.
143. 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.
145. 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
146. 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
149. 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.
150. Promotion of Domestic Trade
Fielding of rolling
stores in areas affected
by Mt. Pinatubo
eruption like Tarlac,
Pampanga, and
Zambales. This is to
ensure the continuous

City and in Manila.

selected items such as sugar, flour, hardware

156. 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.
157. Components of the Informal Sector
The Illegal Economy
The Unreported Economy
It consists of activities
Refers to the economic
which are pursued even if
they violate legal statutes
that define the legitimate
forms of commerce.
activities that circumvent
and evade the tax code.
158. Components of Informal
Sector
The Unrecorded
Economy
This consists of economic
activities that should be
recorded in national
accounting system but is
not fully or properly
recorded.
The Counter Trade or the
Sophisticated Version of Barter
This may be considered an
informal economy due to
the minimum use of
foreign exchange.
159. 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.
160. 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%.
161. Underground Economy and Its
Effects on the Nation’s Economy
Underground Economy contributes to the
noncollection of taxes due the government
and leads to the continuous violation of
economic laws and regulations.
Undergrounds Economy breeds lawlessness
or disregard for law and order.
