We are a great country, with great achievement

It is more fun criticizing

Because of this post, many Filipinos comment have been largely negative and blame many things for being a laggard.  

We have been affected by politicians and doomsayers who seem not to find anything good in us.

No need to denigrate, to be a detractor of our own country.  We need to always seek the good in us and the Philippines

We have to be proud of our achievement for having one of the highest GDP growth in South East Asia and in the world.

There is too much to be thankful for and be grateful for our country.  And to be proud of it.  Our fast growing population will be our strength.  Many countries like Japan and SK will look up to Philippines  for workers to take care of their olds, and to man their factories

It seems  to be very true.   There are more viewers from Singapore and Hong Kong.  But very few from my own country.

Thank you so much dear readers from Singapore and Hong Kong.  Highly appreciated!

Brave President.   Who has the provocation.  1/2 or the World Trade passes through the area.  Thus really freedom of navigation is the issue.   Let there be peace

Philippines is not poor.  Five years ago, ADB has removed the Philippines from the list of LDC (Less Developed Country) and is no longer eligible for aid/donation.  Loans yes and other assistance

As  per Wiki, Philippines is

    34th largest economy in the world

    3rd largest economy in ASEAN (after Indonesia and Thailand)

    6th in Southeast Asia after Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.   (We could be richer had  we not relinquished claim to Sabah, part of Sultanate of Sulu (thanks to some traitors who sold RP out to Malaysia)

    That is a good note we have to remember about the wealth of the Philippines

    GDP of Philippines as of 2016 is $2,951.07 vs  $5,907.91 of Thailand and fast rising Vietnam $2,185.69
