Why does the Philippines keep growing at higher levels than its neighbours but seems to do very little improvement in real-life, outside areas such as Bonifacio and Southern Manila in general?

The lowest you start the easiest is it to improve.

Imao the most impressive figure in all that is probably singapore given that they already have high standard of living.

Because they're the poorest country in the chart

Vietnam has a lower GDP per capita and Indonesia isn't much better.

see
God get your facts straight before posting.

Shitholes that grow fast are still shitholes

I actually think Vietnam and SpanishKingland are pretty similarly poor.

Philippines is just benefiting from a short term China+US bribe contest.

Leave italia Pinoy

Most powerful race

Correct for Vietnam probably
Still lower than Indonesia and the rest in the chart, its considerably pathetic given their size

>I actually think Vietnam and SpanishKingland are pretty similarly poor.
That's the point. The Philippines are as poor as Vietnam but look way more third world on the street, outside of super-rich areas such as Makati, Bonifacio and Ortigas.

>Philippines is just benefiting from a short term China+US bribe contest.
Debatable

Some of the IMF's more recent PPP calculations have been funky.

They really need to update the PPP base year from 2011 to 2017.

The Philippines used to be the richest per capita in 1960. Richer than Japan, unironically.

Vietnam was a total shithole getting bombed by the USA until 1975, invaded everyone else around it for a decade, and then FULL COMMUNISM'd itself until the 90's.

So yes, based upon all the factors, the Flips have done really bad relative to the other jungle chinks.

Archipelago is hard mode due to transportation and regionalism issues.

Fun fact, Vietnam saw no net economic growth between 1968 and 1982.
Population expanded from 35 million to 60 million in that period.

>Malaysia
>Indonesia
>Japan

Maybe it has something to do with the flips being controlled by cath*licism.

>Japan
>Taiwan
Heck even Malaysia and Indonesia did better than the Philippines

Also, about regionalism, while it is true that Mindanao is drags the Philippines down a lot in the statistics, even some regions in the main Northern Island are poor as hell( See: Bicol), and Manila, which isn't on par with any rich capital in Asia, is still mediocre even if compared with Jakarta, despite the fact that pretty much half of the economy revolves around it.

I know about its "glorious" economic past, what I'm trying to figure out is how the heck is possible to look so worse compared to other SEA despite the similar GDP per capita.

They're there because of recent western (American) control
Once they control themselves and other Asian countries start stabilising, they're quickly left behind

Well they need to tone down the birth rate a bit, even we have rates barely above replacement rate now and cities like Putrajaya which is about 90% muslim has rates below 2.
No amount of city planning can make up for crazy slum growth and migration from poor regions when they still lack stuff like identification cards and tuberculosis vaccination for citizens.

Everyone else is already developed to some degree or have a reliable industry to get shekels from.

We're a shithole and shitholes that go up are still shitholes.

Ask your leader

>China
How do they do it?

Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Mynamar (fuck that bullshit GDP stat) are all worse

slavery, they're aren't hypocrite like western shitstains

Then what are you guys? Slaves of slaves?

without remittances they would have no growth
10% of the economy is cash sent home from them working in other countries
they usually use this money to get out, instead of improving at home

t. country that lets in 40k flips a year

Well, as a self-deprecating filipino, it's because we are just killing off the poor by calling them druggies.

We killed 57 drug ""suspects"" in two nights.

Duterte also wants all human rights advocates shot.
rappler.com/nation/178968-duterte-probe-shoot-human-rights-advocates

t. Drug dealer

To be fair, most "human rights" advocates deserve to be shot

>a few grams of meth
>57 dead
>entire sacks of cocaine
>Senate hearing
(lol

Regime change should happen.

The PNP are damaged goods, they should tried in a military style court with executions. Not all cops, just the ones who participate in EJK mess.

Oh, c'mon, don't you like the fact that South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan passed through an authoritarian phase before becoming developed too? It's destiny!

Tribalniggers Tribalnigging like Bisayacucks, really.

should've been? soon you'll regret your own hypocrisy with unnatural MUH HUMAN RIGHTS, once the slaves gather enough power to overthrow the "supposedly" superior group according to natural law.

>but the police are good people I swear!
Yeah, they TOTALLY don't plant fake evidence like grams of drugs and a gun and put in the report that "they did resist police", even though the CCTV say they didn't.

Use google translate

None of these countries entered a disgusting communist style regime who bypassed and undermined the constitution at every chance they get.

The fact that you compare Park Sr and LKY to Duterte is insulting to these nationalities.

>The Authoritarian is a native Pinoy

There's your problem.

If it was some cold, callous, calculating Filipino Chinese, it will be different. Except all the Flipchinks prefer to make money instead.

1/4 Chinoy President ripped China a new asshole that they funded a puppet to replace him.

Imagine what a 1/2 Chinoy could do or an actual immigrant who grew up here.

What's he doing wrong exactly?

>Inb4 killing junkies

Also I don't get how could he be so popular in Davao if he were so bad as some flips say.

Dutdut is actually also 1/4ths Chinky

We are going through our own Cultural Revolution right now. Destroying our history, terror attacks, race riots.
I love it.

Hax mode gommie all land belongs to the party city planning and corrupt officials disappear along with the entire bloodline.
Steal some public facilities for scrap metal and the city council special squad will beat you to death.
Awful work condition too, as long as you have a thumb you can operate the lathe machine.

He claims to be a lot of things but he's nothing more but a monkey Pinoy whose ancestors were from Visayas who moved to Mindanao and intermingled with the local Muslim populations there.

>awful work condition

They've already exported all the sweatshops to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Burma in recent years

Well, he is controversial among flips.
Nonetheless, in third world catholic societies all populists are popular.

Duterte is also very good at picking his administrators and has pushed through many beneficial econonic reforms. He's a great promoter of change.

Only problem is that he is Fliping out and extensively violating the constitution. A modern day Marcos

...

Let's see
-It's not killing junkies really, but encouraging the trampling of the rule of law to "combat crime." Nigger justice basically. Fuck actually investigating things or rehabilitating people.
-Related to the first point: meanwhile nothing really changed, it's still only the small criminals that get fucked over while the big ones remain at large.
-Double standards: small criminals get the gat. Ok fine. But the big ones - especially his friends- get "HURR FOLLOW DUE PROCESS?" fuck that shit.
-Talks big about how "I am different from the other politicians" because he's "anti-oligarchs & political dynasties." while being a dynast in Davao himself.
-Related to that: putting retarded friends in office. Just like the past presidents lul.
-Chinese dicksucking. Imagine sucking the dick of a country that fucks with your sovereignty.
-Alienation of longstanding allied countries for no good reason other than "dey said sommink bad about da Pilipins/Duterte huhu"
-On and off friend of the Lefties and legit commies.
-No clear economic plan. Thinks simply getting loans and even more loans (from the Chinese, of all people) would fix the Flip economy.

>Popular in Davao
See . It's just tribalniggery because Dutertcuck is a Bisayan, and Davaoenos are majority Bisaya.

Furthermore while Doot really did lessen violent crime & drugs in Davao via gangster justice, Davao still remains the country's go-to Smuggling port. But Davaocucks seem to mind because "nobody gets killed corruption never hurt anyone, right?"

>Duterte is also very good at picking his administrators
Who?

All of them are hacks

I thought flips racial insecurity was a meme

>-On and off friend of the Lefties and legit commies.
An act to keep the military establishment to support him.

Youre right davao is like mini north korea in the philippines except with a bloodthirsty lying old man as a mayor

The ones at the coastal cities yes but westen part is still peasant slaving away in inner Mongolia.

>Chinese dicksucking
That's a very superficial way to see it, Duterte's strategy has always been to threat both China and the US to pass on the other side to obtain the max from both. You cannot really say it didn't work out considering how tourism from China has boomed and tension with China isn't as strong as before, while the US de facto remains your ally.
>No clear economic plan
Meh, I don't know, infrastructures really do seem to be a big problem, I like how he is focusing on it.

Cannot really comment the rest.

>davao is like mini north korea
You mean Ilocos

>Duterte is also very good at picking his administrators and has pushed through many beneficial econonic reforms.
Duterte's only competent choice was the Secretary of Defense.

The rest are sycophants and idiots.

The President does not pick the SecDef like other ministers and cabinet level secretaries, the AFP just recommends who they put forward similar to how SC Chief Justices are appointed.

Goes to show you how professional the AFP looks like compared to the dregs of the PNP.

Mmmmm not really

Funny hoe jungle chinks are just as deluded by outdated stereotypes as we are

SOMEONE SAVE US FROM DUTERTE
