The WB also revealed that the Philippines’ Human Capital Index of 0.52 “indicates that the future productivity of a child born today will be half of what could have been achieved with complete education and full health.” More than 200 business groups and non-government organizations working in unison with various government bodies comprise the CFDC. Among the CSOs are Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, Jaycees, Knights of Rizal, Knights of Columbus, Philippine League of Government and Private Midwives, Brotherhood of Christian Businessman of the Philippines, Fraternal Order of Eagles, and many others.
