The Philippines will not be poor forever, Filipinos just need to work hard and be patient.

w/ the covid 19 plague as its backdrop, a japanese inkslinger writes a stinging rebuke to the claims and gains of the gov't

In June 2016, Duterte took over the presidency from Benigno Aquino, who had spent the previous six years repairing the national balance sheet. Aquino's success going after tax cheats, bringing accountability to government institutions and increasing transparency won Manila foreign investment and its first-ever investment-grade ratings.

Duterte was elected to turbocharge the reform process.

His 22 years running Davao City in the south accorded him folk-hero status. Mostly, though, he rested on Aquino's laurels. Instead of building up the economy, he launched a bloody war against the drug trade. Thanks to the average 6% growth in gross domestic product Aquino bequeathed him, Duterte figured the economy was already sorted.

But now inertia is no longer an option as consumption plunges, factory output slides and many of the pillars of growth Manila took for granted go wobbly, chief among them remittances. The cash that about 2 million Filipinos send home from Hong Kong, Dubai and cruise ships around the globe accounts for at least 10% of GDP. That cash is now in short supply as those jobs disappear. The same goes for tourism, which accounts for 25% of GDP.

He will use this pandemic to mask his inefficiencies and corrupt practices and one day we will wake up with a ballooning external debt of almost a US$100B. Luckily we have China to bail us out.

i'm keeping an eye on USDPHP

when too much PHP is created without corresponding increase in dollar reserves PHP will weaken

there's a limit to how much local currency a country can print

print too much you'll end up with play money
