The group of civil society organizations, known as the Philippine Working Group on the ADB scored the bank for paying lip service to "helping the poor" through its poverty reduction programs.  These programs are forms of structural adjustment programs that were discredited in the 1980s and 1990s for bringing more poverty to poor Southern countries.
