This movement is oriented towards community-oriented development, which will also be used as a key program in the long-term economic development of the country. Moreover, according to the Korean Saemaulundong Center, the movement is a process aimed at eradicating poverty, modernizing rural areas and even leads to a mental revolution or attitude change. However, it is important to note that this is not the first time that Korea has launched a community development program, the first being non-governmental rural community movements such as the Christian 4-H club (Head, Heart, Hand, Health) as well as the nationalist movement of agricultural cooperatives, Chondoyo.

However, one could argue that it would be more beneficial for the Philippines to strengthen its BPO industries rather than its agricultural industry due to the possible threats of global warming and climate change. However, this could be refuted with the development of crop varieties that will withstand climate change, making agriculture more favorable. Overall, the Philippines could incorporate some changes brought by the League movements in strengthening its economy, such as improving infrastructure, ensuring that education is within everyone's reach, and finally fostering participation residents in the development and implementation of projects.
