In the Philippines, more and more Filipinos are ending up jobless with no food to serve on their tables due to poverty worsened by the economic crisis.

To understand the global financial crisis, here are some links of resources, which can give an overview and further explanation on the issue:

The Gloal Policy Forum seeks "to monitor policy making at the United Nations, promote accountability of global decisions, educate and mobilize for global citizen participation, and advocate on vital issues of international peace and justice."

The Global Financial Crisis provides explanations on the different issues under the world crisis, also focusing on its effects to the major regions of the world. Many articles seek to examine economic and political concerns and show how each is connected to show the larger picture of the global financial crisis.

The Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG) discusses the issue of Global Financial Crisis in its Issue Analysis released on September 29, 2008 entitled The US Financial Crisis and the Philippines Economic Debacle.

CenPEG's analysis, unlike other websites, does not just focus on the "impact" of the financial crisis but also traces the roots from the colonial times, which brought the Philippines to its current state-semi-colonial and semi-feudal.

In the analysis of Bulatlat, the Philippines is, as the title of the article suggests, Sinking Deeper into Crisis. The analysis points out the effects of the crisis compounding the already ill situation of the country.

Bulatlat is an alternative news agency that "seeks to reflect the people�s views and stand on issues that affect their lives and future such as human rights and civil liberties, national patrimony, workers and peasant rights and interests, migrant rights and welfare, the rights and status of women, indigenous people�s rights, the environment, among others."

On the other hand, IBON Foundation, Inc. in its article Coping with the Crisis in 2009: Back to Basics discusses the possible effects of the crisis in the different sectors of the Philippine society, with the emphasis on the labor sector. It also suggests policies, which the organization believes will be of great help in this continuously weakening state of the Philippine economy.

IBON Foundation, Inc. IBON is "a research-education-information development institution. IBON undertakes the study of socio-economic issues that confront Philippine society and the world today."

The Global Policy Forum provides articles and documents, which discuss issues and concerns on the world's financial crisis. Articles and documents here come from newspapers, magazines and journals, and other online articles.

The Ecumenical Institute for Labor Education ad Research, Inc. (EILER), gives an overview on how the global financial crisis affects the laborers all around the world in its article The Global Financial Crisis and its Implications for Workers of the World, released on September 20, 2008.

EILER is "a non-governmental development organization in the Philippines providing institutional support for labor research, education and workers organizing nationwide."
