Trouble is, in the early 1950's the Philippines WAS one of the richest countries in the world. For its subsequent collapse, the Filipinos have no one to blame but themselves.
Only if:
1. Real progress is made on cutting down corruption
2. Serious investment is made in education, which has fallen into a dire state
3. The RH bill is passed
4. The forest of unnecessary and confusing laws, often honoured in the breach, is severely pruned.
5. The country is opened to foreign investment
6. Planning laws are enforced
does the forecast stand any chance of becoming reality.
