Investing in developing markets involves special considerations, which may
include risks related to market and currency volatility, adverse social and
political developments, and the relatively small size and lesser liquidity of
these markets. While short-term volatility can be disconcerting, declines of as
much as 40% to 50% are not unusual in emerging markets. For example, the Hong
Kong market has increased 1000% in the last 15 years, but has suffered nine
declines of more than 20% during that time.

A Closer Look 
at the Philippines
by Dr. Mark Mobius

Almost everything people had to say about the Philippines was negative when we
started investing there for our emerging markets fund in 1987. The talk then was
of power outages, natural disasters, poor telephone services, and political
instability. For example, when I told my Philippine friends that I was going to
invest in the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT), that nation's
main provider of telephone services, they expressed horror that we would invest
in what was then an inefficient and bureaucratic organization which kept
applicants for telephone installations waiting for many years. At that time, the
standard joke about PLDT was: "About 10% of the Philippine people have
telephones and of that 10%, 90% are still waiting for a dial tone."

All this and more was keeping the country's economic development well behind its
Southeast Asian neighbors, despite its strong natural resource base and well-
educated, English-speaking business class eager to do business with the outside
world. But there has been a transformation, and this country, which for so long
had been heavily dependent on costly foreign borrowings and foreign aid to cover
chronic balance of payment deficits, now wins praise from many multilateral
financial organizations for its astute monetary policy. The Philippines seems to
be rightly taking its place with the other Asian "tigers."

Since taking office in 1992, President Fidel V. Ramos has given the country
strong democratic leadership, much-needed political stability and a set of pro-
business economic reforms that have turned it into one of the world's most
exciting emerging markets. At last, the Philippines is starting to reach its
vast potential, and with its fully convertible currency and stable exchange
rates, the potential investment outlook for its many strong companies looks
solid for the years ahead.

Although Philippine GNP was shrinking in real terms in 1991, in 1995 the economy
appears to be on target to exceed 5% growth for the second consecutive year.
Within five years, inflation has

fallen from about 18% to below 10%, and local banks' nominal lending rates 
have declined from 24% to about 16%. The latter is especially important for 
earnings growth, because it means companies can borrow money for expansion 
more cheaply and can devote less of their cash flow to interest payments. 
This more favorable business climate has brought unemployment down from 11% 
to 8% since 1991.

The world has noticed this good news, and has poured private capital into the
Philippines in record amounts. The July 1992 Brady Agreement restructuring the
country's external commercial debt service ratios, which were by far the highest
of the developing Pacific Rim nations, was a key turning point. By early 1993,
the government was able to resume sovereign borrowing in international capital
markets. Key companies like PLDT and the Philippine National Bank then launched
corporate borrowing programs in the Euromarkets in 1994. Since 1993, well over
$1.4 billion of Philippine sovereign and corporate international bonds have been
issued. In the process, the local equity market has also turned into a hotbed of
activity. 1995 could be the second straight year in which Philippine companies
collectively raised about $1 billion via initial public offerings, global
depository receipts and rights issues. Although a substantial, domestic
shareholder class is emerging, foreign investors have grown confident enough to
let their capital play a major role in fueling the market's growth. In terms of
both market capitalization and daily trading volume, the Philippine Stock
Exchange is now comparable to, or even slightly bigger than, its counterpart in
neighboring Indonesia, where the population and overall economy are much larger.

The establishment of the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) in March 1994 
through the unifica-

                                                                               3

tion of the Manila and Makati exchanges was a major achievement. These two
exchanges had been fierce rivals, and a great deal of persuasion and gentle arm-
twisting was necessary to bring them together. The merger was many years in the
making, requiring extensive negotiations between brokers determined to defend
their traditional turfs. In the past, the lack of computer links and harmonized
operations were hindrances that added considerably to foreign investors' cost of
doing business. Now there is a computerized "one market, two floors" system that
is far more efficient than its predecessor.

This fall, the PPS expects to install a depository system with advanced
technology that should meet "T+3" standards for a three-day settlement period.
It will shorten the time needed for payment and delivery of securities, and is
exactly the kind of thing that I have long recommended to emerging market
securities regulators world-wide. The challenge, now, for the Philippines is to
reach the next level of capital market development in Asia. I believe it can
happen. Remember that since 1983, market capitalization has risen from $22.7
billion to $205 billion in Malaysia and from $1.5 billion to $127.9 billion in
Thailand.

Privatization is presenting many opportunities in the Philippines, as it is in
other emerging markets. Last summer, the Ramos government raised $373 million by
selling one billion shares in Petron, its giant oil refinery and distribution
company, to investors at home and abroad. It was the largest equity offering in
Philippine history, and put another stock on the market in the same league as
traditional heavyweights like PLDT and San Miguel Corp., the food and beverage
industry leader. Now there are plans to sell sizable pieces of government
holdings in such firms as the Philippine National Bank, the Development Bank of
the Philippines, National Steel Corp., National Power Corp. and Philippine
National Oil Company. Since other private companies will probably be lining up
to do initial public offerings in Manila, there should be many more securities
to choose from soon, just as there are many more now than there were a few years
ago when we began buying there.

There is, however, one big obstacle to this country's economic goals: physical
infrastructure. The roads, airports, electric power and other facilities the
Ramos administration inherited were grossly inadequate, suffering from years of
official neglect and heavy use by a fast-growing population. The government
didn't have enough money to meet reconstruction needs, and has, wisely, I
believe, rewritten its investment and regulatory codes to help attract private
foreign capital for the top priority area of power generation. Its track record
in this regard is impressive, with 35 contracts signed with private power
developers, which should increase the present installed capacity by about 75% by
the end of the decade. Every effort is now being made to attract investors into
the Philippines for private tollroads, ports, railroads, mass transit systems
and telecommunications projects. Given the current lack of a local, long-term
debt market, this won't be easy. But the government, realizing its need to
attract $50 billion in new private infrastructure investment over the next ten
years in an effort to reach development goals, is working closely with the World
Bank and others to accomplish this. In the process, we could see many new
opportunities in the Philippines for our shareholders.

When I look at the Philippines, I see a country with sustained economic growth
led by booming foreign investment and strong international demand for its
increasingly competitive export projects. The potential outlook is positive for
increased corporate earnings in this exciting new environment. Industries like
manufacturing, electronics and agroprocessing are all coming alive, but finding
the best investment bargains will be challenging. The market's aggregate P/E is
high, at 18.7 times, but we will continue to seek the best values we can find
for our shareholders.

Sincerely,

/s/ J. Mark Mobius
