if u consider that the exchange rate was 1 usd = 2 pesos. then it was a hell of a slide.

for a country in peace since ww2, it is really s shame that vietnam has surpassed phi, cambodia in the next 15yrs will also surpass the phi.

poorest not in the world but quickly descending in SE asia.

The only way for the Philippines to step up is for all the losers out there to be totally obliterated. Once that happens, no one will now feel pity or sorry about the poorest country on earth.

My friend says the Phils is most pitiful country in Asia-it is only going downhill more and more. Other countries are improving their economy but the Phils is just getting worse and worse. And the rest of the world thinks so too. Is it true???
Heck, NO! There are a lot of very good things that are happening here. If you believe everything that you read or hear, you’ll be convinced that the Philippines is the most pitiful nation on earth - that’s understandable but if you are living here, you’ll find out the truth. One thing why the country has this reputation is because of some pathetic Filipinos too (specially those who are now overseas promoting how difficult it is here, how opportunities are scarce and how grateful they are that they’re now out of the country living the American dream their minds are programmed to think,*no offense to the good ones*). Yes, most of the junks being promoted by the losers out there are considered to be the fact since so many brown-asses are agreeing to it either directly or unknowingly by their actions. I think no matter how huge are the accomplishments this country will make, it will always be considered inferior since the very sons and daughters who once lived here are simply not proud to be its citizens. Anyway, screw the losers.

senselessthinker, you are really senseless if you think the phi can generate enough jobs then why the heck is every filipino is migrating to every country around the globe. i have nothing against the filipino people but i had enough of their government and their screwed up system. losers are people who don't admit the state their in and continue to live in a dreamworld. it's really time for you to wake up. simple stat for u, vietnam foreign investments 15B against phi 2.5B, last 15 years vietnam was not even in the global investment radar. thailand and malaysia has long surpass the phi. even that you wont admit to then your a moron.

You are so boastful,,,,the filipinos are the richest in laughter and heart while living in poor conditions. The filipino will travel farther and endure more than any race to help their family in the provinces. i am a american ,born in a rich country,,,i see people grow fat and lazy. "MOST OF THEM" would not walk a mile for anyone but themselves. they are arrogant and cry that they have lost their jobs to other countries and immigrants. honestly the jobs were taken by the rich to countries like indonesian and thailand,,,,places where the people will work for pennies a day. they bow down to the rich man and lick his ass. that is how their country helps thier rich. what the hell how can a ass kisser judge the filipino...

I am not living in a dreamworld timemaster. That response is intended to the poster asking if the situation in the Phi is really that worst. And I as someone who lives here don’t think that this is the worsest place on earth. Did you read it? That was not a defense or denial dear sir. Yes, you have a point, which you already had mentioned on another post. But simply because you said that, it doesn’t quality to be a fact! As I’ve reiterated in my previous posts, the economic situation here is really not that rosy or anything like that but it is getting better (whether you believe or not, I don’t care) and there are millions of reasons why we should be happy and thankful that the Philippines is our country. And one of those is having a comforting knowledge that a loser like you is no longer here. Lemme ask you, all knowing timemaster, is there a country that doesn’t have a problem? If you can give me one, I will admit that you’re quite special, but if you can’t, it will only show how you pathetically pretend to be something else other than a miserable and lonely old fool whose main source of pleasure is promoting negativities about a poor country like the Philippines. I don’t think you’re happy

Your name suits you well OXYMORON. Well, just so you know, we might be the poorest in your eyes and the eyes of so many losers like you but we don’t give a damn gago! We are happy to be living simple lives and we will continue to be thankful for whatever that comes along.

Your post is idiocy at best. You think that you will be revered because you are happily laughing out of other people’s misery. Then you’re wrong gago!

friend if you can't admit that the phil is worse now than 10 yrs ago. then it is useless arguing with u. yes, for you the losers are the 10 million strong oversea workers that send money back to the phi to keep it afloat. then think abt who the pathetic loser is. if one does acknowledge the condition the country is in then how will the changes come.

yes, every country has it's own unique problems but most countries face their own problems and rectify the situation. unlike in the phi where it is entangled in a web of deceit. give you a current news. sulpicio lines culprit again, another sea disaster. how will the government react. congressional and senate inquiry, in the end, sulpicio lines will continue to ply their routes, coast guard will still be there. no one will be jailed for their misdeeds. it all just for show. if you want that kind of gov to continue leading you then i wont argue with you no more.

I think we're drifting away from the topic dear sir. I wish there’s a one-click solution to the never-ending list of negatives (and counting) brought by you and your legions against the Philippines. And besides a bigoted mind will never change, no matter what the eye will see.

Thanks not a goat, you simply are not a goat. I don't get it. Why do they need to highlight the obvious? What do they get out of that? Yes we’re poor, miserable and lowly but so what??? Anywho, your comment is so true. Laughter is so abundant here. I like it here. This is a happy place in spite of everything.

for once i agree with senslessthinker that this oxidol is moronitic, idiotic guy who wipes arab's behind in doha.

for senselessthinker, it isn't me who is holding on to an illusion, that the phi is still capable of sustaining itself.without their oversea workers phi exchange rate might be in the range of 70p tp 1 usd

Beloved timemaster, if you are trying to portray me as someone who’s delusional then I think you should stop it because it’s not working. If you measure a country’s condition by the number of their citizens going out of the country (as in the more people going out means downhill) to fulfill their goals oversees then better think again. Did you ever think how many more millions Chinese, Japanese or Koreans are there in other continents? It’s all in your mind beloved sir.
