FOLLOWING the living nightmare that was the catastrophic effects of Super Typhoon Yolanda, the Philippines now picks itself up toward a long and winding recovery. The country was off to a good start, at least, after it was reported that the economy grew 7 percent during the third quarter. Even if the prognosis for the last quarter of the year seems bleak after the impact of the calamity is felt, we should still stay positive. No time to be picky. We can use all the positive news that we can get.

Leading the recovery brigade in Central and Western Visayas will be the rural banking industry, with support from multilateral funding agencies.
