Let's say a Malaysian posts that his GDP per capita is $11k and yours is $3k. How could you even come back from that? He could buy your entire village.
Filipino land is not very cheap if it's arable or metropolitan commercial, opening a franchise in Manila is still $1m+ USD unless it's a Dunkin Donuts stand in the mall or whatever.
Plus the hacienda families don't really sell when they can just run the country in perpetuity.
You know that's worse, right? Land value is by definition unproductive. If most of your country's wealth is parked there, then little is being invested into anything that could improve society, like factories or roads
Do my posts have a distinct character contrary to this? I thought I'd landed somewhere triangulated between random Philippines posting, earnest Catholicism and general midwittery. This nails 2/3.
i guess this falls under random Philippines posting but you've seemed too nice from your Catholicism posting to like have a beef with other countries/nationalities
I mean I wouldn't blame you for having a beef with the indonesians for killing catholics in the past but still lol

I'm not defending the economy or governance here just responding to the assertion that other third worlders could purchase a village.
Pinoy culture is spiritually rich but the civil status quo is a mess yeah.

They let you if you have money and/or a career I met my wife in the USA and ~2 million other Filipinos are currently on work visas legally.
There's about a million Fil-Ams and significant diaspora communities in all of Europe and Asia too.
