Do you believe that environmental preservation is more important than economic growth?
I don't agree that environmental preservation is important than economic growth. Nothing is more important than the other. We should strike a balance between environmental preservation and economic growth. We can have sustainable progress rather than progress alone.
Your argument is correct! But, In reality, it is difficult to achieve economic growth and environmental preservation at the same time.

I think that for the economic growth of the Philippines, manufacturing should be fostered in the Philippines.
If manufacturing is built for the economic development of the Philippines, the environmental destruction of the Philippines will be severe.
The reality of destroying the environment for economic development may be an unavoidable fate.
What do you think the Philippines should do to become a developed country?
