"Each country was scored on each of the 65 country attributes based on a collection of individual survey responses."

So apparently they use
Adventure
Citizenship
Cultural Influence
Entrepreneurship
Heritage
Movers
Open for Business
Power
Quality of Life

as criteria for judging. Too bad I can't find a breakdown to see how we did

Ive seen that report being drummed up by DOF sec. Taking out any biases, PH is really a good spot for foreign investment considering the language skills, work attitude, relatively low cost of living and number of college graduates we produce each year (and the K+12) program. However, the tax reforms cast doubt on the stability of the tax incentives and assured ROI. So the big question is - WILL THEY INVEST?

Indonesia is #2 while Singapore is only #5. So judge for yourself.

kasama pala as collateral sa sino loans ang natural resources natin as explicitly written here in the chinese state mouthpiece, global times: "The interest rate on the loans China has provided to the Southeast Asian country is very low. And the Philippines has strong debt-paying ability. Besides, the loans are usually accompanied by repayment agreements, which use certain natural resources as collateral."

of course

it's explicit

like Venezuela oil-for-cash loans

Venezuela Skirts U.S. Sanctions With Chinese Oil-For-Cash Loans | OilPrice.com

Oil-for-loan deals between Beijing and Caracas are preventing American sanctions from having their full effect on Venezuela’s economy, according to David Malpass, U.S. treasury under-secretary for international affairs.

“Most of the blame for Venezuela’s economic collapse and humanitarian disaster falls squarely on Venezuela’s rulers, but China has been by far Venezuela’s largest lender, supporting poor governance,” Malpass said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Bloomberg reported. “The result will raise the ultimate cost to the international community once Venezuela returns to democracy and economic reforms.”

Because China expects payment in barrels of oil, the dollar amount of the loans are difficult to ascertain. “This has the effect of masking the exact amount of payments that China made to Venezuelan officials and that Venezuelans are expected to make to China in the future,” Malpass added. “China offers the appearance to an attractive path to development, but in reality this often involves trading short-term gains for long-term dependency.”

Wow. If that's not literally "mortgaging our future" to a foreign power, I don't know what is.

China's debt-trap diplomacy reaches Philippines with exorbitant loans - Business Insider

The Philippines is close to accepting loans from China that are 1,100% more expensive than ones from Japan.

The country's chief economist said it will accept the loan as it needs "more friends," as relations between the two countries warm after years of territorial disputes in the South China Sea.

The loan is part of a so-called debt-trap diplomacy in which China engages in infrastructure projects in poorer countries, a pattern it has followed to establish its global Belt and Road initiative.

The loans can have exorbitant interest rates or natural resources are used as collateral that China can control if a country defaults on its payments.

In the Philippines, Chinese-owned contractors will be required to work on the infrastructure projects, rather than supporting local companies and workers. And with an emerging pattern of Chinese-owned businesses being seized by their own government, the line between state and business is blurring.

A "friend" doesn't charge exorbitant rates when they loan you money. [emoji107]
