MANILA \u2013 According to the World Bank data, Filipinos ranked as the third lowest paid among the 21 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) member-economies while the Americans, Japanese and Canadians emerged as the top paid.<\/p>\n

Despite efforts to bring about inclusive growth in the region through discussions in this year\u2019s APEC Summit, with the theme \u201cBuilding Inclusive Economies, Building A Better World,\u201d the World Bank data still showed the huge disparity in income among APEC nations.<\/p>\n
