The Philippines is a land of paradoxes. Many of the things the West deem as benchmarks for equality are lacking, yet the country is surprisingly is a 'bright spot' for gender issues in developing countries. We don't have gay marriage or civil unions, yet the people are LGBT-friendly, even the older people (especially when compared to other Asian nations). We don't have divorce or abortion-on-demand or even public contraception, yet the country has the fifth smallest gender gap.
To me, part of this stems from institutional apathy and the culture. There are few laws discriminating in favor of women or gender minorities, but there are little to no laws discriminating against them either. (For example, there are no gender quotas for elected positions, but there are no gender barriers for elective positions either. Yet we are in the top 10 of the countries for women's political empowerment.) The institutions (apart from the Church) do not touch these social issues and as a result, the Westernized culture with pre-colonial undertones of equality (such as women's rights and things such as babaylans) come to the fore. We are still conservative and religious as a country and as a people, but that doesn't preclude us from being tolerant. That said, we also have tons of other problems to solve.
More paradoxes, my friends who happen to be gay are often more religious than me.

The Philippines is strategically located. And very rich in minerals and agriculture. Problem was that the US did not help industrialize the Philippines like they did Japan which had started WW II. They left the Philippines has a raw material supplier for re-Industrialized Japan. Once the Philippines properly industrializes and the economy takes off they will become a regional power. Remember, you also need a large population.in order to be a regional power. Economic growth means more tax money for the government to spend on education. That is if corruption is controlled.
The South of the Philippines is not prone to Typhoons. The Northern and Central parts just need better building codes, move people out of flood plains and steep mountains and the canalizing of rivers. This will help solve the Typhoon problems.
When it comes to the Communist guerillas in the Philippines, I heard they are generally in isolated areas. Economic development should make these Communist and any other group vanish. Has for your comment on Communist China, I read that they want better ties to the Philippines so they are no longer supplying the rebels.

The same was true for Japan after the Second World War, and look how they went. The fact of the matter is we as a nation had a different culture, the culture that we gained from the Spanish about political APATHY sponsored a type of national "I don't care about who rules the country" feeling that ended after the presidential elections of 2010.

Well, you guys still have the "We don’t care what you do there. Just pay taxes and we’re okay." That region in Mindanao. ARMM, I think.

I'm sorry. Over populated? This is nothing compared to our northeastern Neighbor, in fact, this population of ours is good for us since this could become labor force. There is no overpopulation in our country, our population is just concentrated much in the Urban areas while they almost do not exist in the forest and the mountains. Economically weak? We have a huge potential and are in terms of growth, doing quite well even if we're still not being releasign even a fraction of our potential.
Leave before we will throw every single fact at ya or before you face a huge firestorm from a good bunch of Filipino nationalists who exist in this thread.

Many Filipinos are nationalist indeed though in a good way though true nationalism is rare among the many of the population whose pride for their own country and hope that it will rise again is quite tenuous.
